republican convention and even though he's not the nominee. donald trump did not waste any time going after the new pairing. we'll talk to mr. trump about that in a minute. let's begin with national correspondent peter alexander. peter, good morning. >> good morning, savannah. ted cruz the first to acknowledge this early announcement is unusual, frankly a lot like this campaign. sources close to the campaign say the move was designed, at least in part, to change the conversation, to try to undercut trump's momentum and at least gain back the spotlight. with this arranged marriage hours old -- >> a new relationship has started, cruz and carly. what's he doing picking vice presidents? he can't win. he can't win. >> reporter: now fresh off a defeat. >> next vice president of the united states, carly feorina.

>> desperate attempt to resurrect his candidacy, bold move announced in indiana, in the hoosier state where fiorina could attract women and where the former packed ceo launched her career. after tough talk about cruz months ago. >> he says whatever he needs to say to get elected. >> reporter: on stage she serenaded his daughters. ♪ i know two girls i'm so happy i can see them more ♪ >> reporter: she blasted trump. >> he does not represent me and he does not represent my party. >> reporter: later with nbc's hallie jackson, teeing off on hillary clinton. >> she will not bring a track record of trustworthiness to the oval office. >> reporter: firing back, barbara boxer, who beat fiorina in 2010, comparing cruz's moved to the doomed hp merger.

i predict that the latest carly fiorina merger will be as successful as the last one. overshadowing trump's foreign policy speech. >> america first will be the overriding theme of my administration. >> reporter: reading off a teleprompter with only a few fumbles otherwise sticking to the script. >> i challenge anyone to explain the strategic foreign policy vision of obama/clinton. it has been a complete and total disaster. >> donald trump vowed to shake the rust off america's foreign policy, largely preaching restraint and several experts criticized his speech, the

foreign relations commits any praised it as a step in the right direction. >> peter, thank you. let's talk now to donald trump about this. he is on the phone. good morning. >> good morning. >> ted cruz says carly fiorina is his running mate if he gets the nomination. gets headlines. also height get might get him more support with women. you on the other hand seem to say things that alienate women voters. you say hillary clinton is still playing the woman card and if she were a man she would only have 5%of the vote. >> nobody respects women more than i do. i am not playing the woman's card. she's playing the woman's card. everything she says is about the woman's card. frankly all i'm doing is stating the obvious. without the woman's card she wouldn't be a viable person running for city council position. >> are you saying women in this

country vote simply on gender? >> i don't think they vote on gender, no. i think they vote for jobs and security. that's why i'm doing so well, that's why i'm leading the republicans by a lot. in all the elections i won on tuesday night, which is five states. and then, of course, new york the week before. i'm winning them one after another now and building up tremendous numbers and tremendous numbers of delegates and millions and millions of voters. in all of those exit polls, i led with women and i led with women by tremendous margins over all other candidates. >> but, mr. trump, for you to say if she were not a woman, she would be getting 5% suggests the only thing she has going for her is that she was a woman, not that she was a former senator, former secretary of state and lawyer. do you understand why people find that to be kind of a demeaning comment? >> no. i find it to be a true comment. the only thing she has got going is she's a woman. she has done a terrible job in so many ways.

look at libya. look at some of the things that she's done that are absolutely disastrous. the primary thing she has going is that she's a woman. she's playing that card like i've not seen anybody play it before. >> let me ask you about your foreign policy speech yesterday, mr. trump. what's very interesting is what was not in the speech. you didn't talk about the wall with mexico. you didn't talk about deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants. you didn't talk about restoring torture. you didn't talk about possibly allowing japan, south korea or saudi arabia to have nuclear weapons. are you backing off some of the key tenants of your campaign? >> no, not at all. i but the put the wall and all that, i'll be coming a big speech on ingrags sho immigrati but i'll be talking about the

form of imimmigration, the wall undocumented immigrants having to be brought out of the country. we will do that. it's never been a worse situation than we have right now. you look at the crime. you look at the tremendous impact they have on our country economically. you look at what's coming across the border. i consider that immigration as opposed to foreign policy. and i'm going to be doing a policy speech on immigration fairly soon. >> let's talk about isis. you said in your speech yesterday that they will be gone very quickly in a trump administration. so, can you be more specific? are you envisioning a massive ground troop presence in syria and iraq to get rid of isis? it seems that would be necessary if you want to get rid of them quickly. >> well, one of the tenets of my speech yesterday -- it's gotten great reviews, as you know, was unpredictability. >> people are casting votes. they should know whether that means a massive military presence in the middle east. >> savannah, if i get elected president, i don't want isis to

know what i'm going to be doing. >> what about the american voters? >> i don't like the idea. and psychologically, we need to -- and as a country, we need to -- when president obama announced we're sending 250 soldiers, when he announced previous to that, we're sending 50 soldiers and he announces it to the world, they have a target on their back. he shouldn't be announcing that. he shouldn't be talking about what he's doing militarily. the enemy is watching every move we say, every move we do militarily, we announce what we're doing and they prepare for it. i don't want that. one of the big tenets of my speech yesterday was the fact that i said -- and very, very strongly -- we need unpredictability. we need to be unpredictable. we're so totally predictable, matt. >> some american voters might be nervous that this call for unpredictability is actually a way of masking an understanding of the issues or grasp of the details. >> well, i have a total grasp of the details far greater than

just about anybody else. that, i can tell you. when i said take the oil -- i've been saying it for a long time -- i didn't want to tell that. but yourselves and everybody else has been saying tell us what it is. tell us what it is. after three months i said take the oil. now i would have preferred not doing that. politically, i really had to. it got to the point where people had to know. i would have preferred not saying take the oil. you go in, you surprise them. now they fortified oil reserves and they're prepared. we'll still take the oil and we should be taking the oil and we're not. >> would you rule out the use of nuclear weapons in the fight against isis? >> i don't want to rule out anything. i will be the last to use nuclear weapons. it's a horror to use nuclear weapons. the power of weaponry today is the single greatest problem that our world has. it's not global warming, like our president said. it's the power of weapons, in particular nuclear. i will be the last to use it. i will not be a happy trigger like some people might be.

i will be the last. but i will never, ever rule it out. >> donald trump. >> thank you very much. got to leave it there. appreciate it. >> thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. on the democratic side, big changes for bernie sanders and his campaign. it's now laying off more than 200 staffers. the move comes after sanders lost all but one democratic primary in five states on tuesday. the campaign had more than 1,000 staffers in late january. now it will have no more than 350. a spokesperson downplayed the layoff saying with only ten states to go, they needed fewer people and the cuts would have taken place regardless of tuesday's outcome. more severe weather expected today after more than a dozen tornadoes reportedly touched down in several states wednesday. dylan is here, tracking it for us. what's in store for today? >> today won't be as bad. take a look at some of the video in evansville, indiana, 1.66" of rainfall in a very short period

of time. they tried to close the roads but cars and trucks were getting stuck in the floodwaters. luckily, the drivers did get out safely. it was a mess yesterday with the heavy rain. moving to missouri, we had a huge super cell. look at the size of this developing storm. this actually was in northeastern missouri. it went on to produce a tornado. you can see it growing in the early stages there. a lot of wind damage to the church there and a lot of tree damage as well. today, we're not going to see storms as widespread. we are looking for a possibility of some stronger storms, especially in north carolina later on today, as this starts to move eastward. we're going to get a bit of a break today. everything will ramp up again tomorrow. here is this area of low pressure, producing heavy rain through parts of the appalachians. we're looking at isolated stronger storms to produce wind gusts and large hail. this will move eastward. it gets unsettled as we go into

friday. we'll see a chance of scattered showers and storms produce perhaps up to 2" to 3" of rain in a short period of time. again it's not a ton of rain. when it all falls very quickly, that can lead to flash flooding in the carolinas today. >> all right. dylan, thank you very much. dramatic fall from grace of the former speaker of the house, dennis hastert. he was sentenced yesterday for his alleged abuse against students. stephanie gosk has the details. >> reporter: asking for probation, that their client had been punished enough. but the judge came down hard. once beloved speaker of the house dennis hastert, federal judge repeatedly called him a serial child molester before

sentencing him to 15 months in a federal prison and two years of supervised release for illegally withdrawing large amounts of cash, $1.7 million in hush money to pay a man who says he was 14 years old when hastert, the coach of his wrestling team, abused him in a motel room. multiple sexual molestation crimes are too old to be prosecuted but the judge said some conduct is unforgivable no matter how old it is. the sister of the victim first confronted him in 1995. >> what did he say? >> nothing. that was my confirmation. he said nothing. >> what was the look on his face? >> stone face, no emotion. >> scott cross now 53 years old, told the court he was abused, too. at times, breaking down, describing my darkest secret.

hastert, who is in poor health, and spent much of the hearing in a wheelchair, apologized to his victims. they looked up to me and i took advantage of them. the judge had little sympathy for the former speaker's fall from grace. saying if there's public shaming of the defendant because of the conduct he has engaged in, so be it. he ended the sentencing by calling it a horrible case, horrible for the defendant, horrible for the victims, horrible for the country. then he added i hope i never see a case like this again. authorities have yet to determine where hastert will be held when he does enter prison, will he have to enter a sex offender program. matt, savannah? >> stephanie gosk in chicago, thank you. scary moments in the air wednesday for passengers on board a plane from seattle to dallas. a bird strike caused the plane to head back to seattle shortly after takeoff. tom costello covers aviation for us. good morning. >> good morning. the nose of the aircraft is also called the radar dome.

it houses the weather radar, which provides information to the cockpit crew. bird strikes happen weekly, sometimes daily. you don't want to fly the plane if there's any chance that your weather radar antenna has been damaged. >> watching this american airlines flight make an emergency landing back at sea-tac. >> tense moments captured on live television, our nbc affiliate covering this american airlines flight as it was forced to land shortly after takeoff, after a bird strike. >> looks like we hit some birds on takeoff. we're going to need to go back and have the plane looked at. >> 126 passengers and six crew members were on board headed from seattle to dallas when one or possibly several birds struck the nose of the plane. less than an hour later, the aircraft landed safely back at sea-tac and taxied to the gate. severe damage across the nose, a dent stretching nearly two feet. >> do you need your nose gear inspected by your company on the runway or can the airport ops do it off the runway?

>> reporter: no injuries reported and maintenance teams are now evaluating the aircraft before it flies again. looks like a big bird. airline crews will take the remains of the bird, feathers, bone fragments and send in to the smithsonian here in washington where they will match to determine what type of bird was involved. that should tell the airport what steps they need to take to limit that type of bird activity anywhere near the airfield. back to you. >> tom, thank you. another incident in the air. this one, involving a jetblue pilot, accused of flying drunk. dennis murphy jr. faced a judge wednesday. he was arrested last week after flying 151 passengers from orlando to new york. it was the second flight of the day. murphy was selected for a random alcohol test. police say he was over the limit. he blamed the reading on the gum he was chewing. jetblue says it has a zero tolerance drug and alcohol policy, murphy no longer employed with that airline.

of this. >> reporter: federal law enforcement officials tell nbc news prescription painkillers were found in prince's possession when he died and in his house. now officials say the drug enforcement administration is part of the investigation into the musician's death. a week has passed since prince's body was discovered inside paisley park. now federal law enforcement officials say the carver county sheriff is asking the dea for help. agents will determine things like what prescriptions prince had obtained and where the medication came from. >> if there was a pharmaceutical provider, a doctor that was giving him medications and prescribing an enormous amount that resulted in his death, that would be another investigation. >> reporter: officials have not said what role painkillers played in prince's death. the medical examiner is still awaiting results of toxicology

tests. friends have said years of entertaining took a toll on prince's hips and that he was in pain. michael patton represented two of prince's half siblings. both siblings have died. patton says more than a decade ago, they told him prince took percocet to enhance his stage performance. >> i think they told me, primarily because they were concerned about their brother's health. that was the primary reason. and they both felt that because of that use, that it would affect his life expectancy. >> reporter: patton admits the siblings and prince were not close. he represented dwayne after he was fired by the musician. after the singer's death last week, patton says he shared what the siblings told him with investigators. we reached out to carver county authorities, but have not heard

back. some of prince's closest friends told nbc news, they never saw the artist use painkillers. >> he lived a very healthy life. he certainly had no addictions that we were worried about. >> reporter: it will be weeks before investigators release any information about how prince died. a judge now ordered a bank to oversee the musician's estate for now. prince's sister says it appears he did not have a will. >> thank you. also this morning, new developments in the investigation into the murder of a popular fitness instructor inside a texas church. police have now executed a search warrant at a dry cleaners after a bloodstained shirt was discovered. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning. the bloody woman's shirt was taken to the dry cleaners by missy beaver's father-in-law. while it may look suspicious, her in-laws say there is an innocent explanation.

police came to this dry clean super center after a call from a clerk. shirts that appear to have bloodstains on them were dropped off by randy beavers, the father-in-law of the decedent in this investigation. he told the dry cleaners, the shirt had animal blood on it. it clearly says pullover pink, animal blood, all over white. missy's husband brandon and father said wednesday that blood came from a pet chihuahua attacked and killed by randy beaver's daughter's dog on wednesday last week. >> carrying the dog from the house to the veterinarian clinic, okay, it was bloody. >> reporter: stepmother in law vicky beaver says she cradled kilo in her arms. >> the injury was on this side

of his neck, so it was against my chest. i wasn't aware until i handed him over that i'd gotten blood on the shirt. >> reporter: police still looking to identify the suspect in the security video say they're following every lead in missy's murder case. the bloody shirt, they say, created quite a buzz. kevin johnson says please be patient and understand we are not in a position to provide an official response to each step of this investigation. before the search warrant was unsealed, missy's sister-in-law told me she's aware in unsolved murders, the husband is often considered the suspect. >> there's no way my brother did this. he loved her. he could never do something like this to cause pain on his children. >> reporter: her brother, missy's husband brandon, does have a strong alibi. he was on a long-planned fishing trip in mississippi with friends. meantime, this dog attack was

something that the family talked to me last week about off camera. at the time it was nothing more than a simple unfortunate accident. now with the bloody shirt, until the crime lab is able to extract the blood from the shirt and run a dna test, it remains part of the investigation. savannah? >> that's understandable. kerry sanders, thank you. let's get a check of the weather now from dylan who's in for al. >> every kiss begins with kaye. >> it was an interesting day in california yesterday of all places. look at this hail that came down with the severe thunderstorms that they saw. looked like snow and slush in some spots. we had folks shoveling the hail off the streets there in t-shirts, because it is california after all. they had a bought of wicked weather yesterday that's going to transition to the next storm system that's going to bring snow to the rockies and bring

first let's head inside. sheinelle is in for natalie with the top stories. take it away. good morning. a big shakeup in the race to the white house. ted cruz named carly fiorina as his running mate wednesday. many see it as a hail mary pass. cruz added his former opponent and former packed ceo to his ticket ahead of indiana, where she could help attract women. and calling cruz lucifer in the flesh. drawing attention from donald trump, criticizing cruz's decision to tap a vp calling it a waste of time. keeping his eye on the general election, defending his woman card comment about hillary clinton. >> she has done a terrible job in so many different ways. you look at libya. i would say the primary thing that she has going is that she's a woman. >> trump also talked foreign policy, the subject of his speech wednesday. that became seemingly

overshadowed by the announcement of the cruz/fiorina ticket. vice president joe biden arrived in iraq for a surprise visit this morning, to call for an end to the country's ongoing political crisis, protecting baghdad from the fight against isis. his visit comes after the obama administration agreed this month to send 200 more troops and apache helicopters in the battle against the terror group. there's a new lawsuit this morning against the social media app, snapchat. a georgia family is suing the company after a devastating car accident. attorneys for the victim in this case say a teenage driver was motivated by points for photos. >> reporter: the pictures tell the story and are the story. high-speed selfies, twisted metal and snapchat under fire. this morning a new lawsuit filed against the picture-sharing app and 18-year-old crystal mcgee. attorneys say she was living

life in the fast lane, literally. driving a mercedes-benz, her speed climbing to 80, 90, and 107 miles per hour at impact. slamming into maynard wentworth's mitsubishi outlander, his attorneys say he has permanent damage. they say mcgee was motivated to drive at an excessive speed to take a selfie for a snapchat trophy. snapchat told nbc in a statement no snap is more important than someone's safety. we actively discourage our community from using the speed filter while driving. we tested out the filter and saw a "do not snap and drive" warning displayed and just last week snapchat partnered for this ad "i won't snap and drive" it says. attorneys say mcgee sent out this selfie. strapped to a gurney, tagged "lucky to be alive."

asking the question, are teens risking their lives for the likes? mcgee has not responded to nbc news' request for comment. it's not clear what the extent of her injuries were or the three passengers in her car were also injured. in a lawsuit, maynard's attorneys say he spent five weeks in the hospital, lost 50 pounds and can no longer work. his family declined to comment. a mother and father become hysterical when their cruise ship sails away with their children on board. can you imagine? the man had disembarked from the ship in the bahamas to find his wife, who was reportedly running late. the kids, staying on board with family members. while passengers recorded as the frantic couple raced to the ship, but it was too late. after reportedly waiting an additional half hour on the couple, the cruise began its journey back to new york, where the family eventually reunited. goodness. >> that's scary. >> can you imagine? >> you can't miss the boat. >> no. >> can't run late on a cruise ship. >> you cannot. >> lot of restraint, you're not commenting on. >> no, no, i didn't even think it.

>> oh, okay. here is an interesting one, changing subjects. next time you buy something online, you may not need a password. instead, you could just snap a selfie. nbc's olivia sterns is here to explain that. olivia, good morning. >> good morning. this is the newest thing in biometric technology. you actually use biometric technology every time to unlock your iphone with your fingerprint. that's biometric technology at work. perhaps it was only a matter of time before other companies started to embrace biometrics. instead of your fingerprint, get ready to use your face. the selfie is everywhere, from the kardashians, to the academy awards, even the first family. and now what used to be a way to show your mom your new haircut could change the way we shop. >> this technology will continue to work its way into all of our digital experiences and it will be part of the future of shopping.

>> reporter: 205 million americans currently shop online. in a recent survey 77% said they're worried about having their information stolen. enter the selfie. you line your face up? >> yes. >> reporter: you have to blink? >> yes. >> reporter: here's how it works. instead of typing in a password when you check out online, you're prompted to click on a link that opens an app on your phone. you hold your phone up to your face and facial recognition software scans your features, checking things like the distance between your eyes, the shape of your nose. you blink a few times to prove your alive and well and then click. it verifies you are you. it sounds like something out of the movie. >> hello, mr. yakamoto. welcome back. >> reporter: but this is not fiction. the president of mastercard's enterprise security solutions gave me a demo of their new selfie pay. what if i wake up with no makeup on?

right now i have a lot of makeup on. what if i look terrible one morning, is it going to recognize me? >> olivia, i can assure you, you will definitely be recognized by the app. >> reporter: really? >> absolutely. >> reporter: and he says a picture really is worth a thousand words. words you don't have to remember. >> one-third of the consumers actually say they leave their card on online shopping because they can't remember their password. >> reporter: not only is it ease toy forget, it's also easy to steal. >> most common password is 123456. how hard is it to get? >> reporter: it's safer and pretty simple. >> nobody my age takes selfies. >> reporter: is my mom really going to snap a selfie when checking out online? >> the idea of being able to replace a password with taking a selfie is going to be easy, fun and more natural. >> if you do have a mastercard, you can expect to see the selfie technology rolling out as soon as this summer. mastercard certainly not the only one in the game.

amazon has also reportedly filed a patent for its own selfie pay system. consumer advocates say it could dramatically reduce fraud, especially online, where more than half of all fraud comes from. as for my mom, to be honest, she did take to selfie like a duck to water. >> except for identical twins. >> there are multiple layers of identification. they have two different phone numbers. >> got you. >> i feel like it could take longer at the checkout to make the perfect selfie. >> you don't have to have a perfect selfie. >> people want the perfect selfie. it takes five or six tries. >> getting to know you. >> do you like it? >> i do because i can't remember passwords. i think it's great. >> olivia, thank you. just ahead this one will blow you away. the new hair dryer that could put all others to shame. >> cannot wait for that segment. late night laughs with jimmy fallon. what he had to say about our friend mr. lauer up late with jimmy. >> and, dr. oz. in our studio. why he says may is the perfect time to start a diet. but first these messages. diet.

of moderate exertion. >> wow! >> so, in other words, 60 seconds of intense training, like spinning, is just as effective as 45 minutes of moderate exercise. jogging, for instance. this, according to a brand new study. current guidelines recommend 150 minutes of exercise every week, but this study says you can knock that down to just 30 minutes if you include this high-intensity exercise. >> that makes sense. >> one minute. >> one minute of sprint, all-out sprinting on the treadmill or something. >> burning crazy calories, right? >> i would do that over 45 minutes a day. i have to do one minute per day? >> no, no, no, 30 minutes a week. >> oh. >> so have you to figure out -- hi, mark. you have to figure out what -- >> what just happen there had? >> mark just did a little cameo. how to expand that. if one minute equals what you would get from the 45 minute. >> so five minutes a week? >> exactly. >> 30 minutes a week.

>> i'm so excited to meet you. her two books "spark joy" and "the life-changing magic of tidying up" have sold 6 million copies worldwide. a cult following in not only japan but the u.s., too. no matter the language, her message is universal. and through an interpret er, sh agreed to show me some tricks to make my every day just a little easier. first, the purse purge. how important is it for women to declutter their bags? the things they carry around all day long. she says decluttering your purse helps you to have what you need and know where it is. with that in mind we dig in, take everything out. that's her message, removing and analyzing everything to help you streamline. i'm ashamed. now look at this. this is what i'm carrying around every day. she says sort through and only keep the things you need every

day. within minutes my bag went from a messy catch all to an orderly tote. it actually closes. next, she gave us a clinic on the right way to fold our clothes. youtube videos of her folding have been viewed more than 2 million times. condo says she puts love into her palms as she folds. what is the thought behind putting love into your clothes and the joy and the happiness part of all of this? organizing, she says, is all about taking care of your things and only surrounding yourself with things that spark joy in you, things that make you happy. with pants, fold them in half, then fold them in half again. from there, you fold it into thirds. when you're done, it should stand up like this. for t-shirts, fold both sides toward the center, then fold it in half, then fold it in thirds. they'll take up less space and you'll always be able to find them. i couldn't let her go without

asking for help with our coat closet. it stresses me out every time i open the door. condo had us take everything out. you know, i thought everything -- we used everything in here. i thought i had only things that spark joy in there. as we sorted, the pile of things my family didn't need anymore got higher and higher and the items we put back in the closet really are things that we'll use. wow! can i give you another hug? wow! it's like night and day. sun up to sun down, any of these tips can make a real difference in your busy day. look at this. i want you to realize what this does for your drawers. look at this. this would be what your drawer normally looks like, mine. see this? the same amount of shirts, guys. look at that. want to try it? >> yes. >> here we go. >> fold there. >> fold in half. >> and fold it again. >> in half? >> in half. >> all right. >> and fold it again, like into

thirds. almost rolling it. now prop it up. winner getsi'm ... ==anim== new details this morning... ==topvo== in tea good morning at 8:26 on your thursday. i'm sam brock. we have new details this morning in the deadly shootings of a san jose husband and wife inside of their own home. we've just learned that their two sons have been arrested and charged with the murders of golam and shamima rabbi. their bodies were discovered over the weekend on lucas court. police took the older brother, hasib rabbi, into custody near tracy. the younger brother is a juvenile and has not yet been identified. neighbors tell nbc bay area there were bizarre writings left behind on one of the walls of the victims' home. one said "sorry my first kill was clumsy." police right away believed the killer or killers probably knew the couple. certainly a very tragic story. we'll keep you updated.

perhaps up to three to four inches of rain. we do h we have sunshine and slowly warming temperatures across the bay area. a look outside now at all of our micro climates. it's 56 degrees in the east bay and peninsula. san francisco at 50 degrees, so still nice and cool there, but warming up to 60s with some breezy winds, 68 degrees. and in the north bay, 77. low 70s for the peninsula and the east bay as well as the south bay. over the next few days our warming trend continues and we'll be in the upper 80s for inland areas by the end of the weekend. it's hard to wave and hold your sign at the same time. we're getting everybody in here this morning. matt? >> dylan, thank you very much. now to a perfect movie coming out just in time for mother's day, gary marshall film appropriately titled "mother's day." in it, kate hudson plays jessie,

>> margo martin and -- >> without giving anything away, can you give me a hint at the secrets we're talking about? >> she went against her family's wishes and married a man they weren't necessarily happy with. it deals with the interracial relationships in a gary marshall way with, hope and optimism that families can work those things out. and then the same thing with my sister, who married a woman. she's gay and they just don't know. >> it's a complicated family? most families are complicated, by the way. >> families are complicated and gary does such a great job with that. life is complicated sometimes, if you choose to make it complicated. >> were you a secret keeper as a kid? >> no. no. my mom is my great confidant. >> you told her everything? >> i pretty much do tell my mom

everything, and vice versa. look, unfortunately, or fortunately, our family is very open. so there are some things we don't necessarily want to know about each other, but everything is out on the table in our family. no secrets. >> you spent time on movie sets with your mom when you were younger. >> including "overboard," a gary marshall movie. i was 7 when i first met gary. >> is it now todd have your kids on a movie set with you? >> it's kind of great. i think -- when they're young, it's boring. you know, when they're ben's age it's boring but rider loves it. i'm watching him love being on a movie set. it goes either way. you either get into that whole world -- it's not fun unless you love the world of make believe and are a story teller in your head and start to recognize how you're making the story. i get to watch rider now sort of fall in love with -- >> figuring it out? >> yeah, and what it is to be on a set. >> before i let you go, you had

we're back now at 8:40 with what some of us consider a scary thought. almost bathing suit season.

dr. mehmet oz is here to help us reboost those diet resolutions. some of us made back in january that aren't really holding. good to see you. >> we commissioned this survey. why is january the diet month. >> really, why is it? is it easyer in the springtime? >> you want to do it in the spring. it blew my mind. we asked a famous pollster to apply the same standards to study our attitudes. 61% of americans would rather go on a diet in may than january. i suspect half of america is saying why would that be? in january you go on the diet because you're guilty about what you did over the holidays. >> that's right. >> but in may you're looking forward to summer, you have confidence in yourself and a little bit of trepidation of what you may look like if you walk out on to the beach. survey says yes, 75% of americans think so. you can go outside and play,

burn calories. you have access to inexpensive, healthy foods that are becoming ripe in summer months. for a lot of folks it's a time they can focus on their bodies because they have more time. >> more tips. it starts with the mighty avocado. >> shrink your belly challenge. not a diet. i want you to challenge yourself. rich in mono and saturated fats that allow your body to relax, that you're able to lose belly fat more when you're not stressed out. homogenous environment. avocado with an egg. just bake it. it's that simple. you can use it on toast instead of peanut butter. just eat it by itself. we even have a chocolate smoothie you can try out. if you desire. >> i'm thinking gaucamole. >> no tequila.

speaking of tequila, five to seven servings of veggies you need. a veggie flush you can use all day long. focus on savannah's eyes. no tequila in there. you still have to like it. >> it's actually pretty good. it's not a chocolate milkshake, but it's good. >> two cups of spinach, two heads of -- stalks of celery, one cucumber, lemons give tartness to it. >> it does. >> and pear with the skins for fiber. >> it's not a meal replacement but something to work on all day? >> a lot of people tell me -- will you never, ever be able to put on weight eating this. >> is there a serving size? >> no serving size. you're going to stop after a while anyway. your body is looking for nutrients, not calories. it will stop forcing you to eat if you give it nutrients.

>> the first has to do with metabolism. explain. >> people who are able to spend 12 hours giving their body a mini fast are able to shift their hormones in a way that makes it easier for them to burn off fat. i have had a lot of guests on my show that would use this technique to gain or lose weight to become the powerful action hero figure in movies. many others do the same thing. 12 hours a day, any 12 horse you want, you're not going to eat. obviously, easier to have your dinner at 8:00 and not have breakfast until 8:00 in the morning. that gives you 12 hours for your body to reboot itself. you can burn off fat rather than storing it. you don't want the latter. >> eat dinner early, go to bed, have a later breakfast? >> be social about it. take a 28-day challenge to shrink your belly. >> they're all doable. by the way, these tips are part of the 28 day shrink your stomach challenge that starts on the "dr. oz show." check your local listings for

we want to start with really, really thin cutlets. i always look for something called chipped steak or sandwich steak. if you can't get those, can you pound them out. >> it's important to get it as thin as you possibly can? >> absolutely. bread the cutlets. you can cut them in half for an appetizer portion. we're using tongues to make it cleaner but i usually use my hands. dip it into the oil first and then seasoned bread crumbs. >> you can also use plain bread crumbs and add seasoning later? >> yeah. >> you like this? >> i like the italian seasoned. it's an italian dish so you want to go that route. you want to start with the filling. we have tomato sauce. i like to use homemade but you can use store bought. i think my family would disown me if i used anything other than that. this is pecorina, big chunks of it. finely diced white onion and bread crumbs.

you want to control this with your hands. add in a few handfuls at a time. you're looking for a mixture that's the consistency of running oatmeal. too wet, it will ooze out of the roll-ups and if it's too dry they'll be dry. >> let's say i stirred that to perfection, okay? >> we have our breaded cutlets here. we're going to roll these up. we're going to start by putting salami -- really thinly sliced genoa salami. if you cut this in half, we would take these and bunch them up like a beggar's purse. my cousin, mary ann -- hi, mary ann -- she taught me a much easier way. put them in the middle and roll them up like a cigar. >> that's easy. >> much easier. you don't have to fuss with the toothpicks at all. put them seam side down in the dish so when they bake they hold

themselves together. >> how long to cook? >> before we get to that, take this extra filling, and bay leaves and tuck it into all of them. cover it, back it 425 for 15 minutes. >> are you tasting this? >> i've never had it rolled before. >> this is delicious. >> especially the filling. >> she put something on our site, it goes crazy. so, enjoy that.i'm ... ==anim== happening today.. good morning to you. it is 8:55. i'm laura garcia-cannon. happening today, police are getting set to lay out plans for an added level of surveillance up and down the b.a.r.t. line. the deputy police chief this morning is presenting a plan for automatic license plate readers at all stations. he is pitching it during a meeting today.
