7:02 am
difficult weekend for donald trump. he's facing new questions over his treatment of women and his taxes. and then president obama is weighing in on the race. we'll begin with peter alexander. good morning. >> good monday morning. nearly two weeks after becoming his party's presumptive nominee, donald trump is on the defensive on several fronts after reports of his past behavior to women. a lukewarm evaluation from the nation's most powerful republican. attacks from the president. >> reporter: for donald trump, the hits keep on coming. >> in politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue. >> reporter: president obama taking a shot without ever dropping trump's name. >> it's not cool to not know what you're talking about. >> reporter: trump is attacking his critics, dismissing the "new york times" as dishonest and lame, after its front page expose on his treatment of women. detailing unwanted advances and workplace conduct over decades. trump told one overweight female executive, you like your candy. other employees praised the candidate.
7:03 am
saying his decision to promote women was a daring move for a developer at the time. paul ryan refused to answer whether the presumptive nominee is someone his kids can look up to. >> i'm not interested in going to the past. >> reporter: this should not be a hard question. trump telling the "times," ryan wants me to be me. clinton's campaign is hammering trump over his refusal to release his taxes. >> if i run for office, i'll produce my tax returns, absolutely. >> i am officially running for president of the united states. >> reporter: even as nine gop house committee chairs are endorsing trump, many prominent republicans remain so repulsed, they're recruiting third party options. mitt romney recently contacting john kasich and nebraska senator sasse. both men through aides saying, no chance. who can out trump trump?
7:04 am
maybe another billionaire. mark cuban taking calls, according to the "washington post," but declining, saying there isn't enough time. in an interview with television this morning, trump is hitting back at david cameron, who mocked trump's muslim ban from the u.s., calling it divisive, stupid and wrong. >> number one, i'm not stupid. i can tell you that right now. just the opposite. number two, in terms of divisive, i don't think i am a divisive person. i'm a unifier, unlike our president now. >> already this morning, trump is chiming in about the democratic race again. tweeting, bernie sanders is being treated badly by the dems. the system is rigged, he writes. he should run as an independent. run, bernie, run. sanders expressed no interest as running as an independent. >> peter, thank you very much. let's bring in mark halperin, managing editor of "bloomberg politics." >> good morning.
7:05 am
>> donald trump is taking incoming on six fronts. on the "new york times" front page story, on how he treats women, it was a mixed bag. on the one hand, you saw a picture of somebody who, in some cases, was demeaning to women. on the other hand, someone who promoted women and put them in high positions. what is the net effect? >> bill clinton when he ran in 1992 said, if you want a perfect candidate, vote for someone else. we have no perfect candidates. the "new york times" story got a lot of attention. things he did in the story, inappropriate. no one would say, that's the ideal for a president. on the other hand, donald trump and others are saying, if that's the best you've got, my conduct with women, bring it on. >> he's on the defensive for that article. he goes on the offense on the other side. this shows how important the women's vote is going to be in this race. former president bill clinton
7:06 am
was an abuser of women and hillary clinton was an enabler of that behavior. how will this weigh out? >> voters will look at both things. basically, it'll be who ends up with more baggage on their freight car with them. >> not inspiring, by the way. >> it's not. i think you're going to see maybe, at times, both candidates look and say, do we want a truce? the reason trump has an advantage, i think, in the fights is because trump goes hard without any sense of shame or remorse or feeling about his own behavior that projects negatively. when hillary clinton deals with the issues, you see the weight on her. trump doesn't deal with weight. the political reality is, i think trump relishes the fights. he's not afraid of them, and she is. one advantage he has. >> let's talk about trump continuing to beat the drum as sanders running as an independent. sanders says he wouldn't do it because it would hand the election to trump. does trump realize in a two-person fight, he's in trouble? >> trump looks for every advantage.
7:07 am
in a two-person fight, hillary clinton is the favorite, for now. i think he mostly is making mischief. he wants to discord. the press focuses on divisions within the republican party, and those are real, but there are divisions because bernie sanders is still running. >> you talk about making mischief. it was most people's understanding that the stop trump movement was on life support, that it was gone. we have word over the weekend that mitt romney and maybe others are dangling a carrot in front of people, perhaps saying they should go for a third party run. one name that comes up is the billionaire owner of the dallas mavericks, mark cuban. why him? why are they still trying? >> it shows the desperation of people to say, is there any way to stop him? one is to get a third candidate in the race and hope the person can, if not win, stop either trump or clinton from a majority in the electoral college. they're hoping for a convention. is there something they can do with the rules to derail trump?
7:08 am
it's a small group, it's shrinking, but it shows how much they don't want donald trump to be their nominee or president. >> mark halperin, thank you. >> we appreciate it. in other news this morning, storm-weary parts of the south are dealing with even more downpours and heavy flooding. al, what's going on? >> we do not have good news for our friends in texas. there have been torrential downpours around corpus christi. this is video from the last few minutes. streets turned into rivers. a lot of stalled cars. they have rescues going on. people being rescued from their home. school and street closures. it is a mess there, and it's going to continue. right now, areas have picked up 6 to 10 inches of rain around the corpus christi area. we have flash flood watches in houston, texas. this will continue later this afternoon, making their way through houston. also seeing heavy activity through oklahoma and st. louis. we're also going to be watching
7:09 am
another area of strong storms firing up again along this system. it's going to continue right on into the beginning and the end of this week. look at the rainfall totals. some areas may pick up 6 to 8 inches of rain, guys, before it's all over, from shreveport to victoria. flooding is going to be a big problem right into the weekend for corpus christi on to houston. >> thank you very much. by the way, officials say the heavy rain may have played a roll in a bus rollover accident in laredo, texas. 44 were injured, 8 killed. janet shamlian has the latest on the investigation. >> reporter: investigators are hoping to learn what caused this charter bus to lose control. >> we are conducting a safety investigation, and we will look at the highway, the vehicle, the driver and company operations. >> reporter: owned by oga
7:10 am
investigators haven't said whether the 17-year-old bus in saturday's crash had prior violations. oga hasn't replied to nbc's request for comment. >> this is the worst commercial vehicle accident i've seen in the ten years i've been here. >> reporter: this 52-year-old was one of eight people killed in the crash. a colleague describing her as kindhearted and always making people laugh. 44 were injured, including the driver, who hasn't been named.
7:11 am
ezekiel has six relatives who were hurt. >> broken ribs, punctured lungs, blood in the brain, ear trauma. i was extremely grateful that they're still alive. >> reporter: a weekend getaway turned to tragedy and now a search for answers. for "today", janet shamlian, nbc news, houston. want to look at a nightmare for travel going on at one of the nation's busiest airports. you're looking live right now at security lines at chicago's o'hare airport. officials say that shortage of tsa staff we've been telling you about is to blame. the problem was so bad last night, some passengers missed their flights, and american airlines had to provide cots for them to sleep on. the tsa struggling to get staffing levels back to normal in recent months, with more than 100 agents quitting each week. >> it'll be a long morning there. fugitive on the fbi's most wanted list was killed last night during a shootout that wounded an fbi agent.
7:12 am
the 35-year-old pendleton was wanted for attempted murder in the shooting of an illinois police officer earlier this month. they tracked him down on sunday in an abandoned home near the kentucky border. officials say pendleton fired shots at police. one agent suffered non-life threatening injuries. police in great britain are calling for an investigation this morning after a fake bomb forced the evacuation of a soccer stadium. this happened just minutes before manchester united's last match of the season. the realistic looking device had been left behind by a private company after a training exercise. but before officials discovered it was fake, the match was called off and disappointed fans were sent home. a controlled explosion was carried out. manchester's police commissioner called the incident a fiasco and is demanding to know why the device was left there in the first place. now to frightening moments for a beachgoer in florida. a 23-year-old woman was bitten by a small nurse shark.
7:13 am
and get this, when emergency crews arrived, they found the two-foot shark was dead but still attached to the woman's arm. she was taken to a hospital with the shark still attached. she's currently in stable condition. see this? fists were flying sunday night in a baseball game between the texas rangers and the toronto bluejays. this all started when bluejays outfielder jose bautista was hit by a pitch in the ribs. he was awarded first base. moments later, he would retaliate by attempting to take out rangers second baseman odor on the slide. he didn't appreciate it and punched bautista directly in the face. the bases cleared, and the brawl was on. in total, eight players and coaches were ejected, including bautista and odor. no doubt, suspensions are on the way. that was a shot. >> yes. >> by the way, the ball was still live, still in play. >> unbelievable.
7:14 am
by the way, on the topic of baseball, renewed focus on fan safety after an incident at fenway park. look at this. a piece of broken bat flew over the protective netting and hit a fan in the head. nbc's joe fryer is outside fenway for us this morning. good morning. >> savannah, good morning. fenway is one of many ballparks where the protective netting behind home plate has grown. despite that, the fan was hit by a broken bat over the weekend. now, there is a growing debate. are the nets too little or too much? >> broken bat. >> reporter: the new swath of protective netting at fenway park was not high enough to block a broken bat that hurdled over the mesh, hitting a fan in the fifth row and cutting him above his right eye. >> it doesn't happen often, but when it does, you're worried. >> reporter: it happened even though the netting at every major league ballpark now extends 70 feet beyond home plate. at fenway, the netting is nearly 10 feet high. this change follows a string of injuries across the country
7:15 am
caused by foul balls and flying bats. an analysis by bloomberg news in 2014 found 1,750 spectators are hurt each year by bats and balls at major league games. then there are the close calls. like this father calmly saving his son this year at a spring training game. >> i didn't have a lot of time to think about it. the only thing i can describe it as is dad mode. >> goes flying into the seats. >> reporter: last year at fenway, tonya carpenter was seriously injured when she was hit by a bat. over the weekend, carpenter released a statement expressing gratitude for the larger nets but adding there are serious questions regarding the decision to limit the protection for the patrons to only those seats within 70 feet of home plate. on the flip side, author stephen king, a red sox season ticketholder since the 1980s, questioned the netting in an op-ed last month. when do safety precautions steal away the pure joy of being there, he wrote. i understand the red sox bear some responsibility, but i also accept my responsibility to take care of myself to the best of my
7:16 am
ability when i'm at the ballpark. >> the red sox continue to warn fans, keep an eye out at all times for balls and bats. especially this day and age, when so many are looking down at their phones. back to you guys. >> that they are. >> there are signs everywhere at the ballparks that say that. >> you have to look up to see them. >> joe fryer, thank you. let's get the rest of al's forecast. mr. roker, good morning again. >> good morning, guys. let's show you what we have going on again. to the north of texas, we have a risk of severe weather right now for oklahoma on into nebraska. the panhandle of texas, as well. that wet weather stretches all the way up into the pacific northwest. beautiful day in los angeles today. sunshine, temperature 75 degrees. here in the northeast, temperatures a little on the cool side and breezy. at least we've got the sunshine finally. washington, d.c., you're starting to see the sunshine, as well. the flood threat continues down through the eastern -- make that the western part of the gulf coast. that's what's going on around the country.

8:35 am
in a sound booth by yourself. >> that's the hardest part of it. it's not teaching english to kids that don't want to be there, so i haven't lost that much perspective yet. part of the reason i got into this, acting and what not, is because of across the street, sketch comedy. group, the ensemble. i like this. when you're in a booth by yourself, you, a microphone and your imagination, that's the only part that's hard. it's like solitary confinement. >> you improv some of the lines. >> come on it, yeah. then they have to animate it. i don't even remember. it takes two or three years to do this. anything i would have improvised, i would have forgotten by this point. >> you don't remember anything about this project, do you? >> i don't know anything about it. it's delightful to be reminded of it. >> i heard you took your little boy to see this movie. >> yeah. >> he's about 2. >> just turned 2, yeah. >> did he sit still? >> yeah. we can't get him to sit down and watch anything other than beyonce videos. he sat on my lap in a screening

8:41 am
is that your label? my label? >> i think the "today" show made that. i'm going to give you the opportunity to make the best burger. it's all about technique. i think we do this segment every year. >> mm-hmm. >> it's okay. >> this is a little different. i've done it with you on a couple other occasions, and you've added something. >> yeah. >> let's start with the ingredients here. anything out of the ordinary here? >> not necessarily. you want to get some ground chuck, 80% beef, 20% fat. then i like a soft bun with sesame seeds. doesn't have to have sesame seeds, of course. then the rest is up to you. >> the 80/20 because you need the fat to give you the flavor. if you're having a burger and trying to lose weight, this is the wrong time to have a burger anyway. >> exactly right. if you're going to eat a burger, it might as well taste good. a tip, make an indentation with your thumb in the middle of the burg center. >> burger. >> why? >> it plums like a football and people smash it down. that's the last thing you want to do. the indentation, you're faking
8:42 am
out the burger and it comes back to the exact texture you want. >> you've got a great cast iron skillet here and aren't afraid to leave it on the fire a long time before you put the burg ner the -- burger in there. >> a cast iron pan is better for the burger. flip this one time, by the way. lots of salt and pepper. it's coming back to shape, as well. >> while we have this cooking here, this is a good time to talk about cooking temperatures and how long you cook a burger to get it to the medium, medium rare, that sort of thing. >> i like my burgers medium. most chefs say medium rare or rare. i want the fat to melt a little bit, giving it a juicy flavor. >> we have a graphic there. six minutes for rare. >> depends how thick it is. then, of course, you have to have cheese. to me, a burger has to have cheese. we have american and white shed da -- cheddar. i love american cheese. >> you've sliced it thinly.
8:43 am
you have a tip for melting it evenly. >> be careful because it'll splatter here. watt n water in a pan and we cover it, creating steam. >> that gives the even melt? >> it'll melt the cheese completely, which is kai. it drives me crazy when the cheese isn't melted completely. the extra 20 seconds is important. it cooks the burger on the edges, the steam. that's what you want to see. >> normally, it happens that quickly? >> exactly. i mean, when you see this, this is when you want to eat this burger. look at that. the cheese is melted completely. surrounds the burger. >> never would have thought of that. let me turn this down. >> i'll cover this up. >> turn this down, too. >> matt, it's all about what you want to do. i think the burger thing has gotten out of control. people put too many things on a burger. >> from the guy who has a burger like this on the side. >> it's tomatoes, a little onions. i like potato chips and a condiment or two.
8:44 am
ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. to me, it's all about ketchup. >> i'll go with a little mustard. >> horseradish mustard and dijon mustard. >> little of that. >> potato chips? >> yeah, lettuce and potato chips. >> healthy with the lettuce. >> not really. i got the potato chips there. >> this is crunchy-fying your burger. the crunch is what it's all about. >> the gang downstairs has been waiting for the tasting segment. how is the burger? >> delicious. >> i'd leave the seeds off. i'm not a fan. >> bobby loves the seeds. they're important. >> i think they're important, but more importantly, you want a soft bun. it becomes part of the sandwich. >> you don't toast the bun. >> i do. >> yours aren't toasted? >> they are. >> how do you like the chips on
8:45 am
it? >> i like a crunch. i put chips on sandwiches all time. >> i took the chips off. >> al doesn't like the seeds or the chips. he likes his own burger. his own way. >> but i love this burger. >> this is delicious. >> if you want the recipe, don't forget to put the water in the pan when you melt the cheese. today.com/food. up next, a live performance from jennifer nettles. first, this is "today" on nbc.
