>> probably tired of getting tweets. all of the negative social media these days. >> have a good day. good morning. violent storm. a strong tornado slamming indiana leaving a large path of destruction behind. where are those storms headed next? out of touch? nbc news exclusive. bill clinton comes to his wife's defense over her claims they left the white house dead broke. >> it is factually true we were several million dollars in debt. >> we'll have david gregory's conversation with the former president. foul play. breaking overnight, the soccer player accused of biting his opponent now faces up to a two-year suspension. has he played his last world cup match? and london calling. matt is live across the pond this morning with a big exclusive, talking with someone who has never given a tv

interview before. we'll tell you who that is today wednesday, june 25th, 2014. from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. i'm surrounded by fellas here. we've got natalie on assignment at the world cup. we've got peter alexander here. carson, you're here because matt is in london with an undisclosed location, he's in london but he has an undisclosed guest. >> good morning. welcome to day one of where in the world is matt lauer. although you've given it away. i'm standing in front of this wall of foliage. i'm in london and i flew overnight to sit down and talk to someone who's gotten an awful lot of attention over the last two or three years. not only here in the uk but around the world.

yes, you're right, this person has never given a television interview before. it may be a person who could be known by just one name. we'll sit down and do that interview as soon as i get done with you in a couple minutes. hopefully at 8:00 when i join you again, i'll be able to tell you how the interview went and perhaps even introduce you to that person live. it's all coming up this morning. >> it's more like who in the world is matt lauer with. it's a twist on it. >> exactly. >> we'll see you in a bit. thank you very much. for now let's get to the top stories. it's the weather in the midwest. residents in the indianapolis area are cleaning up after a tornado touched down near the city. nbc's john yang has the latest. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. the national weather service said this was an ef-1 tornado. winds up to 100 miles an hour. let me step out of way and show you what those winds can do. that camper started on the other side of the neighbor's house. it was fully packed ready for a trip. the wind picked it up, carried

it 150 feet. that's half a football field. before dropping it on the house and into the front yard.ç >> tornado! >> reporter: across the midwest it's been a week of duck and cover. day after day of violent weather forced people to seek shelter. from the storms. >> it was horrifying. the house shook. it was a loud boom. it scared me really bad. >> reporter: giant trees toppled, homes and rvs torn apart as the latest twister cut a path through the southwest corner of indianapolis. don rackley lives in one of the worst-hit neighborhoods. he grabbed his two young grandsons and ran into the bathroom with the tornado bearing down. >> as i closed the door, i heard a big boom. the only thing i was cared about was the grand babies and my dog. we got them all. >> reporter: jennifer cahill tweeted these pictures as they took cover. >> we took cover, going into the

interior hallway of our building. >> reporter: near chicago, funnel clouds were spotted in the western suburbs. sections of a major expressway were shut down due to flash flooding. this weather has also left many in minnesota bailing out. damage from widespread flooding there is likely to reach into the millions of dollars and authorities say emergency funds are drying up. this morning crews are picking up tree limbs and power lines that were blown down but they're relieved that no one was reported to be injured here. savannah? >> john yang, thank you very much. now the latest news out of iraq where iraqi soldiers are trying to get the control of their country from islamic militants. meantime when it comes to the 2003 war in iraq, a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll shows 71% of americans say the war was not worth it. richard engel's in baghdad this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, carson. around 130 of the up to 300

american military advisers and special forces are now in iraq working with iraqi troops. and from what we were able to see of the iraqi army, they can use their help. iraqi troops are trying to re-take the country one small step at a time. capturing a village in the west from sunni insurgents. and at dawn, repelling militants who raided iraq's biggest oil refinery. iraqi forces are still struggling to hold the plant. negotiations are under way for local tribes to take over the facility. it's just one more sign that the iraqi army isn't nearly strong enough to take the whole country back from militants who are tearing it apart. we traveled with this major general, the controller of the strongest division in the country. one of the best in the country. but one he says needs help.

we need american air strikes, he says. the general was instructing his troops on where to build barricades to prevent insurgents from storming the capital. the militants consider this a strategic place, he said. the general's intelligence is that there are sleeper cells in the area waiting to join the fight. this is the iraqi army's front line south of baghdad. we are now about 20 miles from the city. the militants control position over in those groves. they have arrived right on baghdad's door step. most of the general's troops were trained by u.s. soldiers, but they don't have the same firepower. his division of 15,000 troops has no tanks, no air cover. the general can try to hold ç baghdad's southern flank, but not much more. the iraqi military is supplying its best troops around baghdad, but even some of those soldiers complained about corruption. privates and sergeants telling us they have to kick back some

of their salary to junior officers. they didn't appear to have the same enthusiasm to fight as their general did. carson, savannah, back to you. >> all right. richard engel in baghdad, thanks. back home, the results are in from several close primary races across the country. in a key senate race, the result was unexpected. david gregory is moderator of "meet the press." good morning to you. this is the mississippi senate race where a lot of people thought the establishment long-time senator thad cochran would go down to defeat but he held off a tea party challenge. >> it's a real seesaw between the tea party sentiment and the establishment gop. cochran rallying the troops here. got the establishment behind him, got a lot of people to wake up and say we're in real trouble here. in the end, keanes matter. the state senator chris mcdaniel who was up against cochran wasn't able to close well. it doesn't mean the tea party sentiment is defeated. it's going back and forth and

these races. this is a big advantage for the establishment on this one. >> yes. and of course we all remember what happened to eric cantor defeated by a tea party candidate not long ago. let me turn to your conversation with former president bill clinton. we'll see more of it on "meet the press" sunday, but you asked about hillary clinton's comments recently they left the white house dead broke. let me play a piece of that interview. >> it is factually true that we were several million dollars in debt. everybody now assumes that what happened in the intervening years was automatic. i'm shocked it's happened. i'm shocked that people still want me to come give talks. i'm grateful. >> when you say you pay ordinary taxes, unlike other people who are really well off who pay taxes maybe just off capital gains. can you understand as a political matter, can you see that could strike people as being out of touch? >> yeah, but she's not out of touch.she advocated and worked senator for things that were good for ordinary people. and before that, all her life,

and the people asking her questions should put this into some sort of context. >> david, i assume the clintons would like to dispense with this issue once and for all. do you think they've done that? >> the former president talked about the fact that you can be wealthy in politics. you just have to be transparent about it. i think the tension has come from the fact that bill clinton and hillary clinton in many ways see sthemthemselves as the coup from arkansas that came into washington. the president saying i had the lowest net worth of any president coming into office. they probably still see themselves that way, but in the intervening years they've made a lot of money. perhaps she chose her words wrong and not offering the context the president said should be offered even in the question. the reality is people can accept this well and not make a judgment about whether she is out of touch. here's the other piece of the tension, savannah. in politics right now republicans and democrats, there's a lot of populism out there, a lot of suspicion of big

establishment candidates. the clintons are those. there are those on the republican side as well. and that's why these issues about wealth and relatability are real issues for 2016. >> david gregory, thank you for that. we'll see more of your interview with president clinton on "meet the press." now to the overnight developments in the bite seen around the world. luis suarez is facing a two-year suspension if he's found guilty of biting italy's defender during the world cup match. >> reporter: they say there's no crying in baseball but apparently there's biting in soccer. luis suarez, one of the top five players in the world, appeared to gnaw competitor. >> it looks to me. >> reporter: the italian defender even pulled his shirt down to reveal what he says is a bite mark.

it's at least the third time in his career suarez has been accused of chomping down on an opponent's flesh. if it was also psychological warfare, it worked. uruguay defeated italy in the 1-0 victory. it seems everywhere you go these days -- >> usa! >> usa! >> reporter: -- indoors or out -- if there's a big screen or a small screen or any screen -- >> and we'll be watching on the international space station. >> reporter: -- chances are the world cup is on. a record 24.7 million americans watched america tie portugal, that's more than last game of nba finals. soccer is the most popular sport in the world so why all of a sudden do folks from other parts of the world believe americans are watching the world cup? >> because americans love entertainment. >> because america is becoming

more and more tricultural and we are one nation. >> very simple. red, white, blue. >> reporter: jones, an american soccer hall of famer, said fans are discovering a game that never stops. >> it doesn't slow down. there's always movement, something is always going on and happening during the game. >> reporter: and now if you've become a soccer fan, you may have realized that unlike american football where the games are played on sundays, these games are played almost every day of the week, including tomorrow. so, you may have to call in sick if you want to watch the game. carson, there's actually going to be -- or there actually already is a petition to the white house asking obama to create world cup day so people can take the day off. >> i'm sure that's happening. >> kerry, you do look a little pale. you get in bed and watch the world cup. >> rest up now. >> there you go, showing some

skills, kerry sanders. >> peter in for natalie, a lucky lady on her way to the world cup. >> a tough assignment for both of us. john boehner says he's thinking of suing president obama. boehner is accusing the president of exceeding his constitutional authority when it comes to administering the laws that congress passes. boehner has often accused obama of picking and choosing what laws to enforce, sometimes by issuing executive orders. survivors of april's south korean ferry disaster returned to their high school today. 70 students were greeted by parents of the students that did not make it. 300 died or still missing. one of the survivors addressed students, parents and teachers before classes began and said all they could do for their lost loved ones was to honor their memories. ntsb says pilots are to blame for the crash of asiana

flight, that struck a sea wall on approach to san francisco international airport. it skidded off the runway then burst into flames. investigators found that the pilots relied too much on the plane's automated systems and that they didn't effectively monitor their air speed on the final approach. prison officials are searching for a convicted murderer who managed to escape and then got hold of a shotgun. this is surveillance video of timothy buffington, serving a 20-year sentence in pine bluff, arkansas. officials say he was doing yard work at a house on prison grounds. he managed to break into a safe room in that house by kicking the door down, then stole a shotgun. this morning, buffington is still on the loose. nba superstar lebron james is headed for the open market. the burning question this morning is, where's he going to go next? the four-time mvp decided to opt out of his contract with the miami heat and become a free agent at the end of the month.

that means that king james can sign a new contract with any team, including miami. while, obviously fans in pretty much any city would love to have james join their fan, the heat, cleveland cavs, clippers and lakers are front-runners. england may have been knocked out of the world cup already but the team's souvenir mugs are a hot seller because of a glaring mistake. the manufacturer made mugs with the england squad -- >> wait a minute. >> instead of the defender it used a picture of president obama instead. the mug maker said a junior staff member was to blame, not realizing the image was really america's commander in chief. don't know who doesn't realize that the commander in chief. no one else caught the mistake and they are selling for $3400 and it was going to be a cheap

trinket. >> wait a minute, was he wearing that soccer shirt? >> absolutely. >> he walks around the white house with the england world cup shirt on. >> he the also have a picture of joe biden as the goalkeeper. >> thanks for that. let's get a check of the weather from al. >> a slow-moving cold front. this thing continues to take its sweet time from new england into the southeast so it's bringing showers and thunderstorms, stretching from new england all the way into ohio. so, in fact, we're going to be looking at flood watches. as you can see, this system slowly pushes through, brings more heavy showers and thunderstorms this evening, moves into new york and on up into new england. so, we have flood watches right now stretching from eastern ohio all the way into upstate new york. and almost into new england. why? because we're looking at generally 1 to 2 inches of rain. locally there could be up to 3 inches of rain from new england all the way down to scranton, pennsylvania. we'll get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds.

and thank you for your bravery. thank you colonel. thank you daddy. military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa auto insurance can be one of them. if you're a current or former military member or their family, get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. 7:17. good wednesday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. we have a storm system, that's right, a storm system, approaching northern california. for us it's going to keep temperatures down for today. right now we're in the 50s, low 60, headed towards mid-70s. that's. maybe drizzle later tonight. best chance, looks like north bay.

that's your latest weather. >> thank you. we have more this morning on that bite that everybody seems to be talking about. i'm sure social media is having a field day. >> the bite felt around the world. >> i was watching this game live. and i was like, wait, did he just bite that guy? turns out this guy has a whole track record of biting people. now, he does face possible suspension but twitter is going crazy. if you didn't see it, we have suarez biting right here. it happens real quick. he pulls down his shirt and it was a whole big thing. watch this on twitter. twitter wrote down that prior to biting chiellini, 100,000 mentions and since the biting, 2 million mentions. it's funny. suarez claims yet another hat trick. and then the fun started. i love this one. suarez sees every opponent's

jersey. hannibal lecter, he should protect the face. and hungry, hungry saureuarez. >> he says he didn't do it then tell me why he's grabbing his mouth like that right after. i don't know. >> the bite mark might be a pretty good giveaway. >> thank you. coming up, just who in the world is matt lauer with this morning? someone who has never given a tv interview. we'll get the scoop in a moment. an update on a story we were following, was this girl really kicked out of a kfc because of her scars. her family fights back against claims they made the whole thing up. first, this is "today" on nbc.

today increasing clouds and definitely a cooler feel. we'll drop temperatures by five to ten grease from yesterday's highs and that means low 60s. that's all we're expecting today out in san francisco. hit 64, 65 in the heat of the day. 73 peninsula. 77 degrees in beautiful san jose. we'll talk more about those showers coming. >> doppler activated. thanks a lot. another local news update half an hour.

all right. it's 7:30 on wednesday morning, the 25th of june 2014. pretty shot. sunrising over new orleans this morning. we want to see the sunrise where you are, you could facebook or tweet us. there are the smiles on our plaza. they are listening as we are to maroon 5's new single maps. actually, they're going to debut that song live for the first time right here on our plaza. >> and on "today" sirius xm channel 108. >> that's right. we're broadcasting. >> we hope you're having a good time. >> should we put on our radio voice? >> our commuter is out there in

london to detroit. he's got an interview with gm ceo mary barra. she's been dealing with cultural underlying problems at the country. the defective switch has been linked to deaths. there have been more recalls since then. matt sits down live with mary barra tomorrow on "today." we will begin this half hour with the story of a family saying they were kicked out of a kfc restaurant because of their girl's facial scars. they say it's not a hoax. it's true. >> reporter: good morning. the family insists they were kicked out, that an employee asked them to leave because victoria's face was upsetting other customers. and they also say that a kfc investigation into the matter was inconclusive. the story of a little girl who was kicked out of a kfc because of her scars spread across tv

and social media like wildfire. >> who raised a stink about this little girl just wanting mashed potatoes at a kfc? >> reporter: the family even raised $135,000 in cash. $30,000 from kfc. and was offered free surgery to help with victoria wilcher's wounds. but kfc has found their story didn't check out. specifically that neither victoria nor her grandmother showed up in surveillance video. suddenly news and social media were ablaze wondering if it all was a lie. the story about the little girl at kfc infuriates me, wrote one woman. if i were kfc or any of the falsely accused employees, i would be livid. but the wilchers aren't budging. it is unfortunate that victoria and her family are being

vilified and part of an investigation. in her hometown of jackson, mississippi, support was mixed. >> if you really wanted action taken, you should have gone higher up in kfc. gone to corporate or managers, but you took social media. >> i would hate if it did happen, but it would be worse if it was made up. >> reporter: kfc says the matter is now closed after two investigations after they did not find any evidence to support the wilchers' chain of events. they're still honoring the $30,000 commitment to the child. writing, like the rest of america, the kfc family has been moved by the story of victoria's injuries and recovery. we hope everyone keeps victoria in their thoughts and prayers. she will certainly be in ours. as for the free surgery, the doctors say they will honor their pledge to help little victoria. the family says they'll help with the money they raised with

the medical bills. just a sad story. >> katy, thank you very much. now to growing concerns over your privacy. as more people pick up recreational drones. people across the country are looking into alleged peeping cases as people claim they're being spied on. miguel almaguer has more. >> reporter: lisa says it happened outside her living room window. a drone floating 26 floors up. >> it wasn't properly closed for cameras. i was intimidated, freaked out at that point. >> reporter: she took this picture of the drone she feared was taking pictures of her. >> i was concerned it was looking at me i felt violated. >> reporter: the fight over drones and privacy has taken off recently. police say a woman assaulted a teenager in connecticut for shooting video of a beach with his drone. >> they're trying to hit the drone out of the sky. >> reporter: and this drone was

knocked out of the sky by hockey fans in los angeles. the federal aviation administration regulates commercial use of drones. but civilian use is permitted as long as pilots don't fly recklessly. now congress has asked the faa to come up with safety guidelines for personal drones by next year. but critics say 2015 will be too late. the faa estimates some 7,000 of these civilian drones will be flying across the sky by then. daniel salman uses his to monitor police activity. >> there's no regulation for my hand held camera. there shouldn't be for this. >> we see all across the board whether it's cell phone or drone flights, oftentimes the law is fighting to catch up. >> reporter: back in seattle, turns out the drone was legally taking video of a neighboring property for a developer.

a contractor called the woman to apologize, but she says that provides little comfort. >> i am concerned about how this sort of thing will change our world. >> reporter: a changing world that many are watching in more ways than one. for "today," miguel almaguer, nbc news, los angeles. >> let me write it down. another thing to worry about. peeping drones. check. mr. roker? >> i kind of want one. i feel lonely. let's show you what we've got going on. we're talking some more severe weather out through the plains into the rockies. the risk of severe storms today stretching from billings, montana, all the way into pueblo, colorado. this is a slow-movingeslow-movi upper-level low moving into kansas. then as we move into friday, we've got more severe weather in just about the same area from

the dakotas all the way down into oklahoma and parts of northern texas. we're really going to be watching this closely. today's risk again from the plains into oklahoma. the heat continues in the southwest. 108 in phoenix today. east coast, rain moves in. more humidity and heat. on the flip side, we have a really comfortable day shaping up here on the west coast. good morning, i'm meteorologist christina loren. this is at&t park where the ground crew hard at work getting the field groomed for today's giants game. day game, 12:45, conditions nice but cooler than average. cloudy start here in san jose. we'll hit 77 degrees. 73 for the peninsulaen 67 in san francisco. and out in the north bay, you'll hit 82 degrees with showers possible as of tonight. >> and that's your latest weather. >> thank you very much. coming up in "trending," are

these ladies real or robots? can you tell? but up next, just how dirty is that pool or hot tub you plan hanging out in this summer? jeff rossen reveals the dirty truth after these messages. i had this chronic, deep ache all over. it just wouldn't go away. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia, thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic, widespread pain. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i learned lyrica can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. so now, i can plan my days and accomplish more.

don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i'm feeling better. i found answers about fibromyalgia. then i found lyrica.

stephanie gosk is here with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the sad story may sound familiar. a high school or college athlete in great shape collapses suddenly and dies from a heart attack. but what if there was a way to prevent it? this week "the wall street journal" asks the hotly debated question, should ekgs be mandatory for student athletes? >> eric was 15. he was funny, happy. he was a great athlete. >> reporter: eric died four years ago when his heart stopped. one of the 2,000 young people to die from sudden cardiac arrest. >> it's worth it to have an ekg. i wish i would have known this could happen in a teen. i wish i could go back. >> reporter: an ekg tracks the rhythm of the heart and pick up signs of heart problems. but most high school level athletes don't get ekgs which is

what drove dr. john rogers to start the eric paredes save a life foundation. >> every year 7,000 teens die from sudden cardiac arrest. >> reporter: performing free screenings in san diego including ekg. >> over the last four years we've screened about 12,000 students. we found over 200 that have some type of heart abnormality. conditions that they and their parents ought to know about. >> reporter: the american heart association recommends detailed evaluation of young athletes, not necessarily ekgs. if an ekg is included in a screening program, it should be done with careful attention to the quality of the ekg and of its interpretation. incorrect readings can lead to a false diagnosis and could sideline young athletes unnecessarily. >> psychologically they're set aside and told not to participate out of fear. and they may not have a basis for that fear.

>> reporter: but erin lawson believes an ekg saved her son's life. >> three months later he had open heart surgery. since then he's recovered and he's fine. >> reporter: he goes to the same high school as eric paredes. >> very upsetting when we found out he was going to have open heart surgery. but the opposite was what if we never did that? you know? we could have found out by him, you know, dying on the baseball field or the soccer field. >> one difficulty in this debate is a lack of concrete statistics. they are tracking sudden cardiac death among young people. for now the advice is speak with your pediatrician. >> thank you. here is dr. alano levine. good to see you. let's get right to it. it seems like a no brainer. why is the medical community split on this issue?

>> any time we lose a child, it's an unimaginable tragedy. i advocate for more research in the area how to prevent sudden cardiac deaths. before we recommend screening, we need a test that's going to be sensitive so it doesn't miss anyone. specific so it doesn't falsely identify anyone. and easily and readily accessible. >> you have two kids who play competitive sports. >> i do. >> have they been tested? >> they haven't. i recommend visiting your pediatrician. you want to make sure there's not a family history of anything suspicious and you do specific physical examines for these things. if there's any risk factors, do on ekg. >> if an ekg even shows an abnormality, wouldn't that be worth it alone? >> the problem is they do show abnormalities in normal children. so if we do these mass screenings, we're going to take so many children off the playing field and out of sports us

necessarily. >> any risk? >> one is a false sense of security. so if you tell a parent at 12 that their child has a normal ekg, that doesn't mean they're not at risk for a sudden cardiac arrest later on. >> thank you so much. we go to savanna and another levine. far from a doctor. >> wait. far from a doctor? that's not very nice. >> no. he can do just about everything else, carson. he's a judge on "the voice." we of course know adam levine as the front man from maroon 5. he's making his big screen debut in "begin again" where he stars alongside keira knightly. he plays dave cole, a musician who just skyrocketed to fame. >> you're dave cole. >> yes. >> yeah. we just saw you the other day. i so love your songs. >> thank you very much. this is greta, my girlfriend. she was on the song too. >> cool. would you mind taking our photograph?

i kind of get lost then i pop up 30 minutes in, and i'm like oh my god. yeah. i'm in this. >> by the way, your character dave cole is a bit of a jerk. you know what? >> not a nice guy. >> let's just say it. he's a jerk. >> he behaved like a jerk. i think whether he is a jerk is -- we have yet to decide. because he behaves like a total jerk. >> that's such an actory response. >> is it? i don't know. just tell me what to say. >> keira knightly said about you, i can't use the word she used. he did play a jerk very well. >> thank you? >> i think she means that in the best possible way. >> maybe? no, she's very sweet. and i'm hoping she meant that in the best possible way. >> she, of course, sings in this particular film. i think she sounds great. was it cool that she's doing something out of her comfort

zone and you are too. >> that's what's cool about it. we were both just a bit scared to venture into this new territory. a little bit insecure. and i tried my best to feel as good as possible. i told her, listen. i genuinely believe you have a great voice. she didn't ever believe me, but i did tell her that because i believe that. she never told me i was a great actor. >> well, she did, though, because you played a jerk well. >> i'll take that. >> this actually is a wonderful segue, because my next question is about -- you have a full spread in "gq" this summer. and one of the things you talk about really openly is this feeling amongst some of your fans that you can be kind of -- and now here's another word i can't say on tv. >> i know the word. >> you know that word. >> but basically means sometimes a jerk. >> jerky. >> jerky. >> we'll say jerky. >> you say i'm not an easy guy to root for. >> i mean, i don't really know what i meant when i said that. sometimes i say things and they just come out of my mouth and i

regret them later. i don't know. i think things are going great for me in my life. that's an easy target. and i'm super grateful and happy about the good fortune that i've had. managed to keep it all together which is great too. once again, you know, people like to hate and criticize and all that stuff. i have no problem with it. i welcome it. i think it's a good thing. but yeah. like i said, i don't really know what i meant. i think it was maybe a bit vague. i like to answer vague. when we see print come out, you want to be as vague as possible. they can't take them out of context and make you look like a jerk. they still kind doff somehow. >> if you have any -- you are beloved. we have a crowd out there, can't wait to hear from you. ten seconds. what was it like being a blond? >> no one liked it. which i dug. people took it seriously. it was a little confusing and upsetting. but now i'm back. >> we'll see you in a few minutes. maroon 5 debuting their single

live. tomorrow mark ruffalo will be here. keira good morning, everyone. 8:26. i'm scott mcgrew. a busy off-ramp in san francisco looks like it's going to be closed until at least 10:00 this morning. investigators are marking every piece of evidence in this deadly car crash. the chp tells us this car was stolen, officers had been chasing it all the way from oakland. the car may have been going 130 miles an hour and it tried to take the fifth street off-ramp and crashed and burst into flames. both people in the car died at the scene. so that is still closed, that exit. but let's check the latest with mike iknnouye. >> this is the san mateo bridge, a hazy look. a clear view once you're on the span, but here's the bay bridge itself, and that's the closure you're talking about, the fifth street off-ramp. the distraction by that closure

is causing quite a bit of slowing, as we expected, but actually not as dramatic as offen effect in the east bay. still has a build for the east shore freeway, but look at 580, not so bad coming out of the maze. the metering lights, a little slower to keep things moving slowly in san francisco. the san mateo bridge is a good alternate for you, but you are slow from san leandro down towards san mateo. the biggest slowing, the dumbarton bridge moves slowly back towards fremont. >> mike, thank you. another local news update for you coming up in a half an hour.

they have great one-hour classes that are first come first serve. the next coming up is july 6th and it's cobblers, crumb les, ad pies. so go check out your store for the hours and the times. really fun thing to do. they teach you a lot of technique too. and you get to eat the stuff. now, home improvement. you can go to lowe's. lowe's has build and grow. there are classes that have been two saturdays a month. really fun for ages 5 to 12. home depot also has a similar program where it's the first saturday. theirs is coming up 9:00 to 12:00. and you get to keep whatever it is you make. and home depot coming up, it's a bug house. >> you're a wealth of free information this summer. and you think of summer camp. >> go to bass pro. they're doing summer camp activities. tuesdays, thursdays, saturdays, sundays.

everything from kayaking, fishing, water safety. and kids get to collect pins for every class they take. the classes are about 20 minutes long. >> bowling, movies for free, cooking classes. what if you want to travel this summer? >> these are two cool things. cars to drive. there's a website called autodrive your way.com. and basically you go there, you find somebody who wants their car driven from, like, virginia to california. >> no kidding. >> you drive their car. they're going to give you an allowance of gas. they give you a day and mileage you can take. but it's a free ride for you. it's a free road trip across the country. and then kids meals deals. you can find out all kinds of free places that you can eat. there are big chains like denny's but also local. so you have to put in your zip code and also your state. and it'll tell you everything. they also have an app you can put on your smart phone. if you're on the run and want to know where to take your kids for

free, find out there. >> people watching now want all this information in their brain like it is in yours. that was a lot. >> it's on the "today" show website too. you can get it all there. >> thank you so much. . we've got coming up a "today" summer cookoff. who has the best fourth of july recipe? plus maroon 5 is here for their tv debut of their new single "m

all right. we're back with special treats for the fourth of july. we partnered with "people" magazine to share our favorite cookout recipes. not only are we sharing our favorites, we are battling to see who has the best. >> of course we are. >> what's wrong with us? judging with us tomorrow the

editor of "people" and "top chef" host. two very qualified. good morning, guys. >> she's qualified. >> were you impressed we all came up with recipes for you guys? >> they look great. i haven't tasted them yet because i want them to be fair competition. >> i'm not going to be tough on you. you're doing it for a backyard barbecue with your friends. are these things you made up for us or family favorites? >> al, you're doing beer can chicken. it's a favorite of yours. >> yes, it is. it's pretty simple. you can get complicated but you take a whole roaster, wash it, dry it, take your favorite barbecue rub. whatever you like. and sprinkle it over, rub it in. then you take your basic, whatever -- i do. can you pop the top? >> of course i can.

>> otherwise it will boil over. then it will set on top of the beer can. what happens is the moisture from the beer will actually steam it from the inside. and you just put it on the grill for about an hour, hour and a half. >> guys, you want to taste it and give us your verdict? >> sure. this is actually a classic way of making chicken. the beer steams it. i don't know if i would actually put the chicken on top of the beer can. i was trying to explain this in the car because i recognize it. it's a wonderful one. and i think -- people are freaked out about that. >> it's very moist. you can use anything you want. you can use any liquid. >> but i use red stripe beer. >> chew on that while we move to carson. >> i stole this from my fiance.

she's a food blogger. she's from the midwest. they're good at casseroles and playing games. you'll take leftover mac and cheese. put it in there like that. put some greens in there, peas, broccoli, and mix it all around. then what you do is put a bunch of cheese on it like this. preheat your oven to 425. you can take some bread crumbs. i like crisp on the top. throw it in the oven. use the ingredients you have in the house. and then you put it in. and here's the finished product. >> that's good. you guys are taking the bite? >> that's the cheese factor. >> but it looks good. >> don't judge me. >> that's a rather large bite. >> the idea is great, i think you need some butter in it, because it's dry. but it's a great idea. >> you know who's not dry? carson. he had the beer this morning.

>> thank you. >> hoda and jenna. >> since kathie couldn't be here this morning, we brought her along. this is her famous sangria recipe. this is wine that's in the thing. and it's a special kind of wine. you add in fruit. you add in an orange liqueur and you mix it up. >> if you wouldn't mind, thank you. >> what do you think? >> i have a special virgin sangria. >> you can still get the flavor. >> i think it's delicious. >> cheers. >> i think your idea of bribing the judges with alcohol is a great idea.

>> all right. good. well, last but not least, matt's not here. but this was our recipe. we wanted to do dessert. it's really easy. everyone knows i can't cook. it's a matter of assembly. you put some ice cream in. it's a little melted. >> did o you need help? >> i do kind of. >> okay. >> it could be whatever you wanted. you get the red, white, and blue summer sundae. >> cute for fourth of july. >> that's what i thought. throw some strawberries in there. >> i'm not doing it that well, but you get the idea. then cream on top. this is how it looks. >> pretty. >> beautiful. >> i'm so into this. >> oh, no. you already won. >> that's a good one. >> this is my favorite. >> way to go. >> no way. >> it's a great dessert.

i think it's one that you can make and it's delicious. it's strawberry short cake. it's yummy. >> you can pour vodka on top of the casserole if you want to. >> so do we have a winner? >> you. >> the pregnant lady gets it. >> congratulations. >> oh, my gosh. thank you. this is -- i'd like to thank the academy. i share this with matt. thank you. up next, the moment we've been waiting for. maroon 5 on our plaza. this is "today" on nbc.

the toyota concert series on "today" brought to you by toyota. >> we're back on a wednesday morning with adam levine and the rest of maroon 5. all the guys are here. welcome, everybody. >> nice to have you guys. >> we're happy to have you here. >> it's nice to see the whole band. normally i'm with just adam on "the voice." i'm so happy for you. you played this song about a month ago. it's not something you do often.

>> i'm proud of you. look at what you're doing. it's awesome. you're like a major -- this is a big deal. you're busy, but so cool. congrats, man. >> he's the adam levine of the "today" show. >> you so are. >> i wish. >> what were we talking about? >> the throwback song to the roots. >> every record we make usually at the time it comes out is my favorite album we've ever made. this one is no different. and i think it is the best album we've made. i'm super happy. we're all happy. the single's great. we love it. we love you guys. you know? life is good. >> will fans hear a different maroon 5 or the maroon 5 they've come to know and love? >> the maroon 5 they've loved but there are things from the first couple records. we wanted to make a hybrid of everything. >> did you do a song with gwen? gwen stefani? >> yes. great song. great song. and gwen's amazing.

well, good morning, everyone. 8:56. i'm scott mcgrew. if you have graffiti on your property or business in santa clara county and don't remove it within 48 hours, it could cost you. yesterday, supervisors passed an ordinance requiring business owners and homeowners in unincorporated santa clara county to cleanup graffiti within two days or face fines. let's check your weather this morning with christina, good morning. >> hey, good morning to you,

scott. good morning to you at home. we have an area of low pressure slowly making its way towards the coast. and as a result, your temperatures are going to end up much cooler for today. and here's the kicker. we might actually get some shower activity later on tonight. betts chance looks like the north bay. but for today, 72 for the peninsula, 79 for the east bay, and 77 in san jose.

from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. ♪ all by myself ♪ don't want to be ♪ all by myself ♪ anymore ♪ all by myself ♪ let's get it started ♪ let's get it started in here ♪ let's get it started ♪ let's get it started in here >> wow. >> we have a question.

>> okay. >> where is everybody? you've got four people on this show. where are they? >> everybody's gone. >> where? >> first of all, i'm thrilled to have hoda and jenna bush hager here. willie's on vacation. natalie is on her way to the world cup. >> not too shabby. >> and tamron is out in the wild with bear grylls. she's not doing a show. she's just out in the wild with bear grylls. >> having a great time. >> poor little old al. >> that's me. but i'm thrilled to have you guys. it's a warm-up for you for the 10:00. >> yes, it is. i'm excited about sirius today, by the way. >> it launched. >> are we on the radio right now? >> we are. >> my gosh. >> "today" sirius xm channel 108. >> that's so exciting. >> and anita is out there today. >> the lady we rode in yesterday we grew to love that looks a

little bit like kris jenner. >> so what happens on this show? what do you people do? >> we have a chat. >> okay. >> it's a lot like your program only we're not drunk. >> you know what? wait a minute. we'll be the judge of that. you know what? you're right. >> we have corn flakes. which we'll explain in a second. first of all, our pal david gregory from "meet the press" got an exclusive interview with president clinton. there's been a lot in the news about hillary clinton saying they left the white house dead broke. they were in debt. and folks saying, well, you know, you're not in touch if you think you're dead broke. so here's what the president had to say. >> but when you say you pay ordinary taxes, secretary clinton did, unlike other people who are really well off who pay taxes maybe off capital gains. can you understand that could strike people as being out of touch? >> yeah, but she's not out of

touch. and she advocated and worked as a senator for things that were good for ordinary people. and before that, all her life. and this people asking her questions should put this into some sort of context. i think i had the lowest net worth of any american president in the 20th century when i took office. and, you know, now i don't and we've got a good life and i'm grateful for it. but i feel we go to our local grocery store on the weekends. we talk to people in our town. we know what's going on. >> you know, i wanted to see if david would finish the question for bill to pop him. >> the words dead broke would not have come out of her mouth. usually president clinton is very direct about things. it seemed like he was going

around the mulberry bush on this one. >> it's a hot button issue. >> they're a close family. obviously president clinton and mrs. clinton have stood up for each other throughout time and for their daughter. they both have been in public service for a long time. they've served our country. i think the fact that it's -- we're talking about somebody's money is a little bit unfortunate. you know? but at the same time she's done a lot. and so hopefully -- >> i think it was just the wrong choice of words. because i don't -- there are certain people when you look at them you think money is their issue and they're entitled to whatever. you don't think that when you think of the clintons. it's not the first thing that pops in people's heads. >> i think we were all probably raced that you don't talk about money and how much people make. and it's unfortunate. >> but how much do you make? >> that was nice. very nice. don't forget you can see more of david gregory's interview with president bill clinton this sunday on "meet the press." check your local listings. by the way, did you know clinton

the musical is going to make its debut in new york city's musical theater festival? >> that just gives me anxiety. because i hope bush the music ain't next. >> wouldn't that be great? who would you want to play you in bush the musical? >> jennifer aniston. >> no. she's a little old. >> but she's got a great bod. >> alicia silverstone. >> i did love her in "clueless." this doesn't give anybody ideas. >> no more musicals. >> that would be spectacular. who would play your dad? >> well, you know, there could be several people. in fact, will ferrell has played him. that wasn't so complimentary to my old pop, but -- >> did you see it? >> no, i did not. >> just wondering. >> don't usually go see the shows where they call your dad bad names.

>> a something. >> but let's not give anybody ideas. >> i have to say about jenna, you have the best attitude about everything. you really, really do. when we first got to know you, you came in and we knew you as his daughter. now we get to know you as one of us. that's the way we like it. >> so if you have been watching the world cup, this is one of those things that you're like what in the heck is going on here? there's this guy from uruguay, luis suarez. it seems to be one of the ways he plays defense or offense, he decides to ta ache literal bite of his opponent. this italian guy was here. he did it without anyone looking here and grabs his own face like my teeth, my teeth. the ball wasn't there. the reves are looking to where the ball is. the guy wasn't punished. he wasn't ejected.

uruguay won the match. and so fifa which is the governs board of the whole soccer -- >> they've got to change that. >> on a totally different note. >> he was charged with assaulting the opponent. and he got banned for two matches. they do stuff like that, not that extreme in basketball. where you pretend you throw yourself into someone and fall down. >> it's an old book out of mike tyson. when he bit. and biting seems like something you grow out of. i used to bite my cousin in a fake fight when i was four. >> did you really? >> did you kids never bite? >> no, but we had muzzles on them. >> by the way, this guy -- the biter, he's married with two kids. i mean, if you're wondering about the background. >> he's got a set of chompers on

him. >> look at this. look at his teeth. and i love how he has his hand there like your shoulder is harder than i thought. >> i bit bone. i love that fifa makes a decision before the match. like really? you had to wait? >> maybe that's to draw drama into the world cup. >> just to show how prevalent this is happening. there is actually a line if vegas, people gambling bet on whether or not the guy's going to bite in that. >> people won maoney. >> this is the third time he's done that. look at some of these memes. we've got hungry hungry suarez. >> i loved that game. >> and hannibal lecter suarez. >> my gosh. >> all right. well, al. >> yes? >> you're famous again.

>> really? >> there's this bronx artist. and she likes to make portraits of people out of corn flakes. she was eating her favorite breakfast cereal one day and listening to john lenon. so she said why don't we just make an art sculpture. >> it's pretty good. >> and then she made elvis and michael jackson. and then she made elvis. and you know who she made after that? al roker! >> whoa. my gosh. >> you know what i love about that one? look at that sunshine right there. symbolizing the sunny type of person you are. >> that's impressive. >> it is. speaking of that, you have a check of the weather? >> i do. i'm actually predicting milk showers in a little bit. it's going to be fantastic. here we go. let's show you what we have happening right now. slow-moving cold front is taking its own sweet time. it's not getting out of here. so we're going to be looking at showers and thunderstorms coming

over the same area over and over again. as you watch this slow mover, it brings the rain into upstate new york, eastern and western pennsylvania by this evening. clears new york and then moves into new england by early thursday morning. we actually have flood watches from central ohio all the way into central upstate new york. we could be looking anywhere from 1 to 2 more inches of rain. some areas could pick up 2 to 3 inches and could even see more. 9:10. good wednesday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. look at this, we have showers on the radar. very far north of the bay area. i can tell you, we're about 100 miles away from where those showers are coming in. as we head throughout the next couple of days, though, with that storm track just to our north, we're a fair game for a couple of light showers. i will tell you right now, you'll notice those added clouds for today, definitely cooler conditions as well, only breaking into the 70s in places like san jose.

72, and that's it, for the peninsula today. >> we're talking cereals here. favorite cold? >> golden grams. >> i like raisin bran. >> what's yours? >> i like captain crunch berries. sometimes they sell a limited edition, just all crunch berries. that is the best. >> remember count chocula? >> i don't like the cereals with marshmallows in them. up next, the pill that can help you lose weight and why women later in life can live longer. after these messages. will you help us find a new house for you and your brother? ♪ ♪ ♪

"today's" health is brought to you by pro namel toothpaste. protect your enamel against everyday acids. >> a new pill can help you lose

weight, and a possible in between childbirth. >> those are some of the latest health headlines to hear about. >> to break them down is assistant professor of medicine at nyu. and sampson davis. doctors, good morning to you. so the weight loss pill. any time you hear news of a weight loss pill, where do you begin? is it a good thing or a great thing? >> it's too early to tell. they looked at 120 patients who took the pill. we notice when you take the pill, you take it with water and it's an expansion within the stomach and causes you to eat less. so when they look at the studies of those who took the pill and those who didn't, they saw only a small change in weight loss. >> you have to drink a lot of water, they said. >> i think that's probably the biggest, you know, thing on this study. was that the study participants were drinking half a liter of

water each time they took a capsule before a meal. >> that would fill you up anyway. >> exactly. the way the capsule works is it contains substances that the drug company is not disclosing what exactly they are. they swell to roughly 100 times your size. >> does that give you concern they don't tell you what's in it? >> right. the 2% increase in weight loss is a modest effect. and one said this is probably not going to be a game change per. >> there were side effects too. flatulence, cramping, diarrhea. >> remember that one that caused an oily discharge? who needed that? interesting study finding which who are able to naturally have children later in life tend to live longer. big surprise? >> not necessarily surprising. i think a couple of very important points here. this is women who are naturally able to conceive after the age of 33.

so this is not postponing childbearing until later. that there's any sort of health benefit to that. there's some idea that there may be some genetic variance that contributes to a woman's longevity and maybe her reproductive health and ability to have children later could be a marker for overall slower aging. this is a preliminary study. i think it's very interesting. this shouldn't send a signal saying if you weren't able to have a child after a certain age, you're definitely not going to live longer than the rest of us. i think it's an interesting finding. it's purely an observation. >> the good thing with this variance is the women are believed to pass them to the offspring. we see a possibility in longevity being developed and carried forward. we saw that women who had children at the age of 40 had a four times likelihood of reaching the age 100. >> golly. all right.

from living long to gluten. we all know the gluten-free craze is everywhere. but there's new studies that say maybe that's not the best way to eat. >> so gluten, the thing is gluten, some people have sensitivity or allergy to gluten. it destroys the intestine lining. the misconception is it's a healthier diet. tough keep in mind that gluten is a part of rye, wheat, and barley. when you swipe out gluten, you've got to replace it with something. sometimes replacing it with carbohydrates and you're getting more calories instead of less. then the marketing companies, they're sort of jumping on the bandwagon and promoting it. you think it's better for you. but you have to look and see what's in the products you're consuming. >> obviously for somebody that doesn't have an allergy. >> numbers to keep in mind. the presence of celiac disease

is smaller. true celiac disease needs to be treated. the only treatment is gluten-free diet. >> doctors, thank you. we really appreciate it. coming up next, we'll get you caught up on all the news you need before you leave the house. this show is fun.
