including oakland. >> all right. local news update in half an hour. have a great day. good morning. the torch passes. president obama embracing hillary clinton as his successor in a speech taking down donald trump and giving clinton high praise. >> there's never been a man, a woman, not me, not bill, nobody more qualified as hillary clinton to serve as president of the united states of america. as vice president biden and the man who hopes to replace him takes the gloves off. >> he has no clue about what makes america great. actually, he has no clue period. >> folks, you cannot believe one word that comes out of donald trump's mouth. >> this morning, chelsea clinton opens up in an exclusive

interview about trump's attacks on your mother. >> what was it like to watch a television and hear people in an arena chanting "lock her up." hear donald trump say crooked hillary. >> what's she's planning as she introduces her mom today at the democratic national convention, july 28th, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is a special edition of "today" at the democratic national convention with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from philadelphia. >> good morning, everybody. welcome to philadelphia. this is the final day of the democratic national convention but about last night. >> i was trying to figure out how to describe it. i think potent is the word that comes to mind whether you're a democratic or republican, you have to agree that was a series of very powerful speeches. >> now the pressure is on hillary clinton. it's her night tonight. this is the biggest speech of

her career. let's go down to andrea mitchell at the wells fargo center on the convention floor. good morning, andrea. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. barack obama passed the baton to hillary clinton. in perhaps the most powerful speech of his presidency. a political embrace that would have seemed unimagable when they battled each other for the white house. after a fiery 44 minute speech from the current commander in chief president obama returned to the convention stage laying out a passionate case for hillary clinton. >> this year in this election, i'm asking you to join me to reject cynicism and reject fear and to summon what is best in us to elect hillary clinton as the next president of the united states. >> reporter: urging democrats to

turn out on election day. >> there's never been a man or a woman, not me, not bill, nobody more qualified than hillary clinton to serve as president of the united states of america. >> reporter: mr. obama sought to bring the party together. channeling his 2008 rallying cry. >> democracy isn't a spectator sport. america isn't about, yes, he will. it's about yes, we can. >> reporter: then turning his attention to donald trump unleashing a series of pointed attacks. >> the donald is not really a plan guy. our greatness does not depend on donald trump. the american dream is something no wall will ever contain. our power doesn't come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order as long as we do things his way. we don't look to be ruled. >> reporter: besides president

obama, a powerhouse lineup took took to the podium defending clinton including new york city mayor michael bloomberg, an independent. >> i'm a new yorker. i know a con when i see one. >> reporter: vice presidential nominee tim kaine breaking into spanish. [ speaking spanish ] >> sharing his values as a missionary in honduras. >> he never tells you how he's going to do any of the things he says he'll do. he just says believe me. >> reporter: perhaps the most fiery speech of the night came from the current vice president joe biden. >> i know what she's passionate about. i know hillary. >> reporter: acting as chief attack dog, biden delivered. >> he's trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. give me a break. that's a bunch of malarkey.

he has no clue about what makes america great. actually, he has no clue period. >> reporter: voters will hear from clinton herself when she takes the stage tonight after four days of hearing democrats vouch for her, this is her big chance to sell herself. matt and savannah? >> all right, andrea mitchell, thank you. >> steve kornacki and nicole wallace join us now. conventions are very choreographed. they are a series of staged evenings. in terms of the staging, the choreography and impact of last night alone, what would you give it? what score? >> 10 out of 10. i thought they had a perfect night last night. whatever you think of president obama's policies, as a political messenger, he's in a league of his own. >> i would say 8 out of 10. joe biden, the current vice president, delivered a stronger

message than tim kaine, the new nominee for vice president. they had to put him in the prime time hour. you can't bury your own vice presidential candidate. i think some people missed the strongest speech of the night. >> we've seen pieces of the speeches now but in terms of strategy, i thought the whole night had several points where it seemed they were reaching out to the center and not just center, reaching out to republicans. you had tim kaine saying if you love the party of lincoln, we have place for you here. you had president obama reaching out. you had michael bloomberg speaking. >> when you sit in the hall, you're aware of how the hall is reacting. if you take your interview with president obama, michelle obama's speech monday night and president obama's speech last night, this is a family worried about the kind of country their daughters are going to grow up in. i thought the of two them delivered speeches designed for the tv audience to say to republicans this is who we are as a country. they took on trumpism more than they took on trump.

i thought that was a direct appeal to independents and swing voters. >> i want to go back to joe biden's speech. you talked about that a second ago. probably the most powerful of his career but was it impossible to sit in the room and not think what could have been? >> if you look at the polling right now, donald trump has a real shot at the presidency and the reason is he's doing much better than mitt romney or any republican recently with blue collar white voters. states like specifically, ohio, even maybe michigan. joe biden was the first major voice at this convention to talk to those voters. if there's one thing democrats might regret this week, they didn't focus on that enough. >> very quickly, i thought it was interesting that the president and tim kaine took on the issue of trusting hillary. tim kaine made it direct. you can trust hillary because. do you think that was effective to take on that elephant in the room? >> highlhts her vulnerability. we talked about 20-point deficit she has with donald trump on questions of trustworthiness.

they have to make this case every day until november if they want to win. stick around bogue of you. donald trump's extraordinary call during a news conference for russia to hack into hillary clinton's e-mails. first, nbc's hallie jackson is here with the heated reaction. hallie, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. most of that criticism right now coming from democrats with trump's campaign trying to push back. today donald trump himself facing new fallout. >> thank you. >> reporter: center stage in ohio overnight. >> we're going to win ohio. >> reporter: donald trump at the center of a worldwide controversy for encouraging espionage from the kremlin against hillary clinton. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> reporter: now new backlash. >> he asked the russians to interfere in american politics. think about that. it is inconceivable to me that

any presidential candidate would be that irresponsible. >> reporter: trump's campaign immediately trying to walk back his suggestion russia should find clinton's personal deleted e-mails. but trump doubling down tweeting perhaps any country should share them with the fbi and to nbc's katy tur. >> do you have qualms about asking a foreign government to interfere, to hack into a system of anybody's in this country? >> it's up to the president. let the president talk to them. >> does that not give you pause? >> no. be quiet. i know you want to save her. a person in our government would delete or get rid of 33,000 e-mails. that gives me a big problem. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan's office emphasized putin should stay out of this election. but no one in gop leadership condemned trump's remarks. most republicans staying silent. many national security experts

stunned by trump's stance. former nsa director michael hayden appointed by george w. bush telling bloomberg, perhaps he doesn't know what he's talking about and a trump gaff making headlines. >> tim kaine, who did a terrible job in new jersey. first act he did in new jersey was asked for $4 billion tax increase. not very popular in new jersey. he still isn't. >> the problem, tim kaine was the governor of virginia, not new jersey. trump probably thinking of tom kean. the former governor of new jersey. trump on the campaign trail later today. let's turn back to steve and nicole. is this one of those occasions where you have something that gets -- foreign policy establishment totally exercised that people have this collective

outrage but if you're a trump voter and supporter, good for you. there he goes telling it like it is. >> i don't imagine donald trump is going to lose any support he already has because of this. the question though is donald trump pulled into the lead in one poll. lagged behind in the others. those few swing voters that there are, does this unnerve them. that's the potential problem. >> in cleveland last week on the floor of the arena they were chanting lock her up. let me show you the cover of the "new york daily news." does it have legs? >> i talked to them yesterday on the way into the arena and they view the day as success because they're in the news. the trump's campaign goal of the week was to get in the headlines every day to knock democrats off message. >> what will he say tomorrow to take the attention away from hillary's speech tonight? >> their goal is to be outrageous enough that we're

talking about them. his infinity for all things putin is alarming to most republicans. and his instinct to hug putin and the russians is alarming. i am surprised by the lack of outrage over asking russians to spy on an american entity. >> steve kornacki, nicole wallace, thank you as always. hillary clinton will address the convention tonight. it's her daughter chelsea's job to introduce her. we spoke with her exclusively as she was putting the finishing touches on her speech and i started by asking chelsea what it will feel like to watch her mother accept the democratic nomination for president. >> i'll try really hard to not cry. i just think my heart will burst. this election is so important to me because i am now a mom.

as proud as i am of my mom, it's about my children. i couldn't imagine a better president for them. i couldn't imagine a better grandmother for them either. just standing there thinking about my children looking at my mom, it will be overwhelming. >> you'll set the table in a way for the most important speech of her life. what do you want to say about her? that people don't know because your mom, your dad, your family, they've been in the public eye for decades. what don't we know? >> i hope to convey even just a small sense of why i am so proud and grateful to be her daughter. why i'm grateful for the example she set for me as a mom. i hope that people will just get a sense of why i'm so proud to be standing -- >> it will be a deeply personal speech. this is not a speech that will try to separate her from donald trump? >> i'm going to talk as her daughter. i'm an only child. a unique position that i have and i hope that people

understand even more when i'm done than when i started about why i love her so much and admire her so much. >> you know your mom as well as anyone. you hear the things that are said about her all the time. lack of trust. people have negative comments and negative ratings are high. there has to be a disconnect in your mind between the person you know. how do you explain the disconnect? >> it is such a disconnect. what you were saying and what we heard last week in cleveland, that's not the person that i know. that's not the person that i grew up with that i'm so proud to stand beside and introduce here in philadelphia. >> coming up in our next half hour, we'll have more of our conversation with chelsea clinton including what she would say to ivanka trump about her personal attacks on the clinton family and reminder for you, msnbc will have complete coverage of the convention all day long leading up to hillary

clinton's speech at 10:00 eastern, 7:00 pacific here on nbc. a scary moment for pope francis. he tripped on a step and he falls to the ground. the 79 year old is okay. he was helped back to his feet and finished the mass. francis is making the trip to poland for world youth day. breaking news overnight. an american airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in dallas after flames could be seen shooting out of one of its engines. it happened shortly after takeoff from the dallas-ft. worth airport on a flight headed for seattle. the pilot reported an engine problem and turned that plane around. luckily no one was injured. powerball fever is growing this morning. the jackpot is soaring once again. no tickets matched all six

flood watch or warning for some heavy rain. you can see heavy showers and thunderstorms firing up now. this is all along a system as it pushes to the east low pressure along the frontal system. heavy rain, flash flooding into tomorrow morning. we're talking heavy rain from philadelphia to new york city. a lot of folks trying to get out of town tomorrow going to have big problems. we're looking at anywhere from 3 to 5 inches of rain for some spots. upwards of seven inches as you get into philadelphia to new york city. that's what's going on. we'll get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. it's not a banner that goes on a wall. it's not something you do now and then. or when it's convenient. it's using state-of-the-art simulators to better prepare for any situation. it's giving offshore teams onshore support. and it's empowering anyone to stop a job if something doesn't seem right. at bp, safety is never being satisfied.

to 95 in the north and the south bay. 102 in the tri-valley and the peninsula. we'll see those highs reaching into the low 90s while san francisco today looking at a high of 77 degrees. also watching out for more smoke drifting into parts of the south bay and east bay. poor air quality again this afternoon as those temperatures get hot. let's head over to mike to see what's happening on the roadways. >> looking overall at the bay and you will notice it's a relatively smooth and easy drive. but i want to zoom into the really unusual jam we have. this is pleasanton northbound 680 jammed before you get to sunol boulevard all of it way here. series of four vehicles with flat tires with crews assisting, all just cleared all lanes. we had one lane blocked for a period of time. that will take recovery time. look, the rest of your commute does show a traditional trend. south for 880. 680 toward fremont. also in your commute direction as you would perkt. flowing through san mateo and at the bay bridge toll plaza but nothing dramatic.

back to you. thank you for joining us. i'll be back in half hour.

we're back now. 7:30 on a thursday morning. it's the 28th day of july, 2016, from independence mall in downtown philadelphia. our home for the democratic national convention. can we just say, those people deserve extra credit today. it is hot. it is humid. they've been here for hours now. we thank them. >> a good day. we give them applause. this is fourth and final day of the convention and the theme is stronger together. the campaign says it's to reinforce the idea that america is at its best when america works together to solve problem.

>> hillary clinton will accept the nomination for president. >> as we mentioned earlier, she will be introduced by her daughter, chelsea. we showed you part of our exclusive interview with her in our last half hour. chelsea had more to say about the history that will be made in philadelphia tonight. >> for the current and next president of the united states, bill clinton. >> i move that hillary clinton be selected as nominee of the democratic party for president. >> you are the only person to have both of your parents receive the democratic nomination for president. how do you put that in perspective? >> a lot of gratitude. incredibly grateful to my parents for always believing in hard work and believing in never giving up. also a lot of humility. i feel it's important to me to support them, to respect this opportunity and this trust

they've been given by democrats and i certainly hope my mom will prevail in november. >> as a daughter, chelsea, i don't know where you were, what was it like to sit and watch a television and hear people in an arena chanting "lock her up." hear donald trump say crooked hillary. how do you digest that? >> matt, as proud as i am as a daughter, my most important role now is as a mother. when i was watching what was happening, what was being said in cleveland last week, i kept thinking about what my mom had said repeatedly when people asked her similar questions. she's tough. she can take whatever people say about her. >> it's harder for a family member. >> as a mom, what i found so disturbing were things that were being said on a national stage. on the stage and off the stage around the convention about women, about minorities, about muslims, about immigrants. that's not what i want my children to hear.

that's not representative of the country that i want my children to grow up in. and so that actually i found far more upsetting as a mom, as a woman, as an american and even as my mother's daughter than anything they said about my mom. >> i wonder if you can have an impact here as a daughter. by the way, this goes both ways. your mom and her surrogates have been out there saying some pretty terrible things about donald trump calling him a fraud and a bigot and things like that. you're a daughter. you know ivanka trump. would you consider her a friend? >> absolutely. >> why not convene a summit? a children's summit. maybe just a daughter summit. you and ivanka sit down over a cup of coffee and discuss tone and discuss what it's like to hear those things coming out of the other candidate's mouth about the person that you love. >> it never occurred to me. it's something i would consider. i think it was clear last week

when ivanka introduced her dad that she's so proud of him. i hope it will be at least as clear why i'm so proud of my mom when i introduce her here in philadelphia. and yet clearly ivanka and i have different views about who we think should be our president and who we think -- >> you're both daughters. you both love these people. it's clear, chelsea, that donald trump is willing to bring up some of the darkest moments of your family's past as an issue. would you sit down with ivanka and say that shouldn't fit into the rules of engagement? >> well, i don't expect her to always have to defend her father. i mean, i think it's clear that mr. trump is running his campaign and saying what he thinks is important in this election. i think what we're seeing here in philadelphia is a strong contrast to that. my mother is not engaging in divisive speech. >> did you write your own speech? >> i was breastfeeding aidan and

practicing with megan, and she was giving me feedback, and i was exchanging ideas. even aidan contributed to the speech. >> so much discussion about what your dad would be called if your mom becomes the next president of the united states. have you talked about it at home? >> we talked about it because we've been asked about it. >> we we've been asked about it. >> what does he want to be called? >> he likes to harken back to irish roots, he would like to be called first laddie. i'm voting for first gentleman. >> i decided after only one day of matt love, i'm going to first laddie. i like that better. >> it has a ring to it. >> interesting to see how she does tonight. i don't think she loves the spotlight. stepping on that stage is going to be a big deal for her. >> can you imagine the pressure for any of these children of political candidates.

amazing to stand up and do it. let's get a check of the weather now from our first forecaster, al roker. >> great crowd here hanging out. and it is hot and it is humid. we've got one more day of this heat and humidity to talk about. big area of high pressure off the east coast pumping up that warm humid air. it will continue for today. look at these feels-like temperatures. feels like 95 in atlanta. jacksonville, 107. 109 in in newburgh. d.c., 101. there is some sweet heat relief coming. behind this cold front temperatures will start dropping. so look at what you've got as you get into the midwest. temperatures in the mid 80s to lower 80s. that will eventually make its way into the east coast but out west we are looking at some more hot weather. look at this. finally new york city, 78 by sunday. boston, 77. d.c., 86. charleston, 84. pittsburgh will see a comfortable high of 81 degrees. that's what's

we're starting out the morning with clouds near the coastline and in san francisco. it all clears out for another sunny day at at&t park. we'll be up to 73 degrees. palo alto, 90 degrees and 102 degrees today in morgan hill. you see we'll still have triple digits in spots like walnut creek and tri-valley. oakland will be up to 83 and 90 today in napa. we'll see this weather continuing over the next couple of days. just a little bit cooler for those inland valleys for saturday and sunday. >> you only got four hours of sleep just to meet me? >> i act know, was it worth it? >> it was definitely worth it. >> thank you. wow. shameless, wasn't it. that was shameless. >> good, al. i like it. coming up, the big names just announced as mentors for the new season of "the voice" and carson has it. a reagan family feud.

asked him about something we talked about on trending. remember "the new york times" article about president obama's night habit. he's a night owl. they had a piece of information in there about one peculiar custom of his. a lot of people were interested to learn that you have a late-night snack every night of exactly seven almonds. >> thank you for raising this. >> why not eight? >> this is an example of the weird way that the press works. so michelle and sam cast, who is our chef here, one night they were talking about me and teasing me about how disciplined i was that i didn't have potato chips, i didn't have a piece of cake. this is when michelle said he just has seven almonds. that's it. to really drive home the point that i needed to loosen up a little bit and sam relayed this

joke to "the new york times" in the article and somehow it was relayed as if i was counting out -- >> i was picturing out you counting seven almonds. >> my friends were calling up saying this is kind of weird. i had to explain to them, this was a joke. >> that was my next question. after the white house, are you going to let yourself go and have 10 or 11 almonds? >> absolutely. you know, almonds are a good snack though. i strongly recommend them. >> mr. president, thank you. appreciate it. >> great to talk to you. >> now you get to set the record straight on the almonds. >> i'm so glad i had this opportunity. >> i went over my time. >> this has been really weighing on me. >> okay. almond gate has been resolved. >> i'm a little bit set in my ways. i have seven twinkies every night before bed. >> you have the same thing for lunch every day. >> yeah. democratic vice presidential

nominee tim kaine took to the stage at the convention last night. carson talked about the tie and other things. as we said, a lot of people took to twitter to comment on his speech and others commented on his looks. soon enough this old photo of a young tim kaine began to a lot of people finding him attractive. some even comparing him to an actor. that got us thinking about what candidates looked like when they were younger. you see hillary clinton in the top left with her running mate tim kaine on the top right. donald trump on the bottom left with his running mate mike pence to the right of him. good looking group. it really is. >> you know what i take away from this? we all look better when we were younger. >> i think i'm the opposite. >> you are getting better with age. >> i looked horrible before. >> we've been talking about the heat wave. when you're in the thick of it, you and everybody around you really hopes the deodorant is working. "the wall street journal" has an article on how effective deodorant really is.

it all stems from the belief that current deodorant is not working as well as it should be. so i ask you, are you confident in your deodorant? >> let's see your shirt, carson. how is that wetness thing going. >> my gosh. >> it's hot here people. by the way, this is not an ad. i'm not going to say who it is. >> you need a suit made out of terry cloth. >> this shirt is this thick. it's bulletproof. >> okay. >> what do you want me to do, apologize? this is weird. >> back to the story. >> you remind me of a scene out of "cool hand luke" when they're

the northeast. flash flood watches for 21 million people. half a million people under flood warnings as you can see the heavy rain now starting to fire up. look at the rainfall amounts over the next several days. today and tomorrow could be upwards of seven inches of rain between new york city and philadelphia by tomorrow afternoon. it's going to be a mess. and also the heat. here's the interesting thing. the national weather service in the three-month forecast august through october is the first time coast to coast temperatures have been forecast to be above average. about three degrees above average coast to coast and right now 2016 the hottest year on record probably now this will cement that record. we're going to get to your local sunshine as we go through the day. right now, we have patchy fog along the peninsula and in san francisco.

temperatures in the mid-50s and lower 60s. and high temperatures reaching up to 102 degrees there today. san francisco, a pleasant 77. 90 in the peninsula. mid-90s for the north and south bay. poor air quality with smoke and also high ozone levels. catch us on "today" show radio sirius xm channel 108. >> nbc news special correspondent tom brokaw is here covering your 24th national convention. >> i find that hard to believe. it's been a memorable run. 1968 was my first one. every one since then back here in philadelphia a few years ago and i was sitting at this chair for a long time during that period five years ago. 40 years ago when i was doing the "today" show i heard about this bright young couple in

arkansas that maybe he'll run for president some day and everyone says he had had terrific wife, that was bill and hillary clinton. i've gotten to know them. there's been a lot of twist and turns since i first heard about them. she's been a very public figure for more than 30 years. with bill and without him. and everyone has an opinion. hillary's long journey had an unlikely beginning. she was a gold water girl in a republican family. in college, she was out front in feminine and anti-war politics. her commencement speech against the war was the beginning of her public life. >> challenge now is to practice politics is the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible. >> at yale law school, she met an equally ambitious politically passionate soul mate. it was the beginning of a storied and stormy relationship. public in good times and bad. hillary went home with bill to arkansas but they had bigger

plans. lawyer, walmart board member, governor of arkansas and at bill side's when he ran for the gold. and we all met jennifer flowers. bill survived with hillary's help. >> i sit here because i love him and i respect him. >> i covered their arrival in washington with the gores. it was a new generation. the clintons were like the homecoming queen and king. there were some tough times in the white house. the suicide of vince foster. the collapse of her health care plan and monica. hillary was humiliated but she didn't cut and run. the two hillaries, tough in public, but warm, loyal to friends and others in private. >> she wants to not be seen as vulnerable and frankly maybe what america needs right now is to understand that this is a vulnerable woman who cares deeply about her family and their family.

>> hillary easily won a senate seat in new york. it was the perfect launching pad for president. but it was a newcomer's turn. president obama, however, gave her a high profile consolation prize, secretary of state. and she became a nonstop globetrotter. benghazi, libya, republicans made it her fault. even though their own investigations couldn't quite close the deal. and now she is the first woman to be an election away from the white house with the former president at her side. a long journey with a long way to go. i think of all of the people i've known in public life, no greater contrast between the public hillary that you see on stage and the private one. private one she's very attentive. a wicked sense of humor. she seems to remember everything she's ever learned about your family or friends and cares about them.

it's enormous contrast. i want to make an observation about last night. you had on stage the first african-american president, the first woman to be nominated for president and watching was her husband who had been president of the united states. we've never had a trifecta like that before. >> that's why people are saying it's a history making night and history making week for sure. tom, thank you very much. >> glad to be here. coming up, we'll get a taste of the hottest new food trends here in philadelphia. plus, we're so excited about this.

>> that's your latest weather. we didn't want to leave philadelphia without a visit from our friends at the philadelphia zoo. savannah is freaked out by this rabbit and we have an armadillo. how big will goliath get? >> possibly 22 pounds. he's a male. only about 13 pounds right now. he has growing to do. >> is it true he kicked elmer fudd's butt. that's a big rabbit. >> this is the largest breed of rabbit. susie q is an armadillo. they can swim. they can float. >> that's pretty good. >> they obviously get their name because of the number of bands on their armor which can be 8 to 11. >> how are you keeping animals cool during this heat? >> we have lots of sprinklers

and ice blocks for polar bears. >> did you bring any fish-sicles? >> hoda, i know you're jealous. i'm here with matt damon. bourne is back chasing answers about the past and in typical bourne fashion that involves an epic car chase. >> no dialogue needed for that one. matt damon, good morning. >> good morning. >> did you shut down the vegas strip for that? >> we did. it was incredible. they told me they were going to

do that, and i was, like, you guys are from europe. you don't understand. that's not going to happen. when we got the location because the city was great and wanted to make it happen and said, all right, if we were going to do it, we could maybe -- if you started shooting at midnight on weekdays you could have it for five hours a night and we looked at the whole thing and said we could actually do this. so we shut down the strip. >> crazy. every time you walk down the street or through the airport, people must approach you and said when? when is the next one coming up? what made this time the right time to do it? >> it was that thing of people coming up and they would do it to me and to paul greengrass, the director. after years of that, it gets humbling. and i certainly have made a lot of movies that nobody went to see so when you have a loyal audience that is asking for something at a certain point we

looked at each other and said let's get off our high horse and do it and then once we decided let's see if we do this, we looked at how much the world had changed from 2007 and today and in less th it's a completely different world that we're living in. we went, all right, there's fertile territory to run the character through. >> brand new situation. brand new story line. so there are two ways you prep for this kind of thing. after nine years you have to prepare mentally. that's part of it. then you have to prepare physically. that's the other part of it. what was the toughest part for you? >> no doubt it was the physical side. i'm 45. i started doing these, i was 29. all that stuff came a lot easier. you know, i'm a better actor now than i was when i was 29. that part was easier. a lot of this boxing. >> what did director tell you that you had to do to get in perfect form for "jason bourne"?

>> if the movie starts and you look like you have lived well for the last ten years, we have no movie. you have to look like you suffered. only way to do that is to suffer. the second he said it, i knew he was right. >> this has been around, this franchise, for 14 years. did you ever think back then when you were starting it that franchise that you did, that one part, would become so much a central part of your acting career in your life? >> not at all. i'm so grateful that this role came into my life. the director of the first movie offered me this. i remember being, like, wait, why are you offering this to me? i had never done an action movie. he just believed that it would work. he had an insight into this whole thing before anybody. it's just a role that's given me so much. it's really changed the trajectory of my career and my life. >> does your wife like the buff you? the buffer you? >> she never not get too used to it. >> you know what i remember?

i was at a charity event one time and your wife was in the restroom and she was pregnant at the time. we didn't recognize her. we walk out and we see you and you said, excuse me, we said, yeah, is my wife in there? is she okay? i remember it was a tiny little thing. you were standing outside of the ladies room worried about your bride to make sure she was doing well. how is she? how are the kids? >> everybody is great. i took a bunch of roles in a row. i've done four straight movies and one more to go so i've been dragging them all over the world. >> where have they gone? >> we lived in china for half of the year last year. this "bourne" movie took us to london and all over the place. they are really good sports. they're great travelers. i'm excited to finish out this year of work and take a year off and be at their best. >> i told you guys in philly were jealous that you were here with me and not with them. hey, guys.

we have matt damon for you. >> hey, matt. >> hey, guys. what's happening? >> you know, it's a little warm down here. that's all i'll say. >> it's a little warm up here, too. >> good luck with the movie. we can't wait to see it. and as always, we know you'll be great in it. >> thanks, guys. thanks. hopefully we didn't mess it up. >> don't think so. >> there are a lot of i love you, matt, signs where they were and i think they're for you. >> i somehow doubt that. >> matt, thank you so much.

everybody saying -- he performed, i think. he performed that sexy song of his. everybody is saying, isn't he so amazing? isn't he amazing during his performance and she was like, no. she also doesn't b.s. >> no, i love it. >> have you been on the car on the way to the party -- >> either in the car or at the party actually. i was at the party once when i was married. i remember it was miserable. it was -- because you're trying to fake it. >> yeah. >> and they're like, he's so charming. and i'm going to get a drink right now. you don't know what to do because you can't have your fight in public obviously. >> you don't want to be like he's actually not. i've been in the car. henry says it's hilarious. i'll say something like do you like my dress? >> something basic like that. why do we ever ask our husbands if they like. >> yeah.

>> interesting choice. he likes things. >> he does tell you when he doesn't like it? >> he ignores. yeah. you look fab. you didn't even look at me. and then we get into a little thing that doesn't matter and we get to the party and henry is so hilarious. you jerk. hi. thanks so much for having us. this is so fun. you can switch off. >> you can. it's almost like the job that we do here. you can be having a really crummy day or whatever it is and there's a moment where you just say not here. this is not the place for feeling bad, getting in a fight, making everyone else have a crummy time. sometimes it's hard to bite your tongue? >> yeah. >> it's hard sometimes. >> i think we're both usually more positive than negative. there's been days where i had one day where my dad wrote me the sweetest text. i was hugely pregnant. hormonal as can be. crying in the dressing room. look at what he wrote to me.

i read it. i read it to one of our friends. none of this matters. the children matter. love matters. and then they are like, now, you need to go out and talk about getting in a fight with your husband at a party. >> exactly. you know what, you're right. there are moments like that where you're either on the verge of tears -- i had this with kath a lot, too. you're at an emotional state in your life and you have to come and turn it on. and you do it. >> everybody does that. people that have to go to work when they're facing things at home. they have to still show up. that's life. >> by the way, one time, this is not on this topic at all but it doesn't matter. i was racing to try to catch a plane and there was available time to make it. 5:25. the door was open. the guy that puts the bags on was there. the woman was at the computer. >> no. >> is there still seats here? yes. i said, can i get on? she said, no.

no, you can't. my god, i'm here. the bag guy goes you can let her on. just hit -- no, i can't. right then when you're on the verge of exploding and you don't because it's inappropriate, the timing is not right. i was either going to cry and get mad. i said you could if you wanted. and then i walked away and got two bags of swedish fish, popcorn. i had hours to wait. and i ate my sorry. >> i did this with barbara. we were traveling. right after mila was born. we got to the airport. any way we can get on the earlier flight? no. i burst into tears. i had my pump with me. my boobs were huge. i burst into tears. barbara is like are you okay? this is the difference of putting my daughter to bed or not. do you understand the difference? the woman was, like, i understand the difference. i can't do it. barbara was like, walk away. walk away. let's move on. it's been burning hot outside as was evidenced by carson --

carson was sweating through his clothing under his blazer. >> hoda taught me to blow dry my armpits. >> yeah, we do that. >> he needed a fan. >> if you're really, really hot -- look at that. >> looks like a vest. that's sweat. >> that's a sweat vest is what that is. >> a swest. >> a swest. if you like this french bulldog named elvis, you know how to cool off. take a look. >> cute. >> now listen -- >> that's a fridge. he's in the fridge. >> how many times have you wanted to get in the fridge. >> he kind of smiles. is he smiling? >> it's cold and wonderful in there. >> all right. any way -- >> don't put your dog or cat in the fridge. >> or your children. >> willie, al and tamron at the democratic national convention in philadelphia. tamron has the latest. hey, tamron? >> hello, ladies.

cake, hillary clinton walking out on the stage surprising everyone, embracing president obama there. also speaking last night, vice president joe biden giving a fiery speech. people are still reacting to it. he went straight after donald trump. >> he's trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. give me a break. that's a bunch of malarkey. this guy doesn't have a clue about the middle class. not a clue. >> of course the hashtag malarkey was trending. people truly had to google how to spell it. >> he went old school. >> he went old school mularkey. during vice presidential nominee tim kaine's speech, he debuted what he had to be practicing for many days now, his donald trump impression. >> it's going to be great. believe me.

we're going to build a wall and make mexico pay for it. believe me. we're going to destroy isis so fast, believe me. there's nothing suspicious in my tax returns, believe me.

of big sur. it's grown from 34 up. and 3,500 firefighters are still on the scene. yesterday we learned that a forest worker died when his or her bulldozer overturned while trying to clear open space. the fire is only about 10% c contained and the high temperatures continue into your thursday. we'll have a look at that right after this break.

good morning, i'm meteorologist kari hall. as we get a live look outside in san francisco, you see the clouds there in the background. parts of the city is all clear at 59 degrees. it's 60 degrees in oakland. and already in the low 70s for livermore. we will continue to see temperatures rising there making it into the triple digits once again today. 102 for morgan hill. 101 for concorde. and 106 today in fairfield. let's head over to mike for a look at the roadways.

>> things are looking really good around the bay. a couple spots we want to point out. it's 101 at 92. we had a crash at ral ston and 101 and another in the south as well. that caused congestion. and over on the east bay, we see slowing through oakland. let's get a live look past the coliseum. things are sticking around high street. it looks like it's clear trt southbound side of the area. that's going to do it for us now. we'll be back in 30 minutes with more updates. for now back to the "today" show.
