election day is upon us. >> let us start with new campaign allegations and attacks. state of the race today, 22 days to go. donald trump is doubling down on his claims of a rigged election. this time blaming the media, his opponent and many polling places but yet to be any evidence of voter fraud. our newest head-to-head shows clinton over likely voters. you look at the key female bloc clinton has a 20-point advantage. >> trump is hosting a rally in wisconsin, clinton is taking a break. bernie sanders will campaign for her. starting with peter alexander on the trail in green bay, wisconsin, peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. now two days out from the third and final presidential debate donald trump will rally

supporters here in green bay tonight. heading into this critical week, trump is furiously dialing up his rhetoric suggesting a conspiracy is undermining his chances for victory. facing a growing deficit in the polls donald trump is intensifying efforts to fuel doubts about the legitimacy of the elect. >> one big fix. it's one big ugly lie. >> reporter: trump expanding argument that the election is rigged by the dishonest and distorted media, also at many polling places. that new claim challenging the fairness of the voting process. but it also contradicts one of trump's top surrogates. >> i don't expect the electoral process to be rigged, meaning the election, but if it is we'll contest it. >> reporter: mike pence tried to down play the claim. >> we'll accept the results. >> reporter: and paul ryan

rejecting talk of a rigged election. his office saying the speaker is ofdent the states will carry out this election with integrity. ahead of trump's trip to wisconsin, ryan's home turf, trump blasting the vp nominee as a man who doesn't know how to win. republicans divided now under attack. a gop office in north carolina fire bombed, a nearby building vandalized. so far no arrests but trump blames animals representing hillary clinton and democrats, clinton condemning the attack, as horrific and unacceptable. the fierce rhetoric coming days before the candidates' final debate showdown. 31% of voters said the debates made them more likely to back clinton. 14% more likely to vote trump. who still vigorously denying a growing list of accusations from women who claim he groped or kissed them without permission. allegations nbc news has not independently verified. >> right now she's in debate prep. >> reporter: trump's latest challenge.

>> i think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. i do. >> reporter: less than a year after hosting "saturday night live" trump no longer laughing. >> serious health problems. and number three -- sorry. okay. and number four. >> reporter: time to retire the boring and unfunny show trump tweeted. alec baldwin portrayal stinks. donald trump is back to bringing up this idea of a conspiracy again this morning, tweeting in the last hour or so, of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. why do republican leaders deny what is going on. so naive. in fact, the brennan center for justice says voter fraud is rare, they say it's more likely that a person is struck by lightning than a voter impersonate another individual at the polls. back to you.

>> peter alexander in green bay for us, thank you. the democrats hillary clinton facing her own troubles more stolen e-mail, this time purported to include transcripts of speeches she gave to goldman sachs, andrea mitchell has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. hillary clinton riding high in the polls but now facing that rolling wave of stolen e-mails releetsed by wikileaks, and now purportedly including those secret transcripts of private speeches she gave to goldman sachs before she was a candidate. hillary clinton's motorcade sunday whisking her to practice for her final debate. how can she prepare for the drip, drip, drip of thousands of pains of stolen e-mails released each day by wikileaks. especially purported transcripts of those goldman sachs speeches before running for president. bernie sanders wanted to see them during the primary campaign. >> you got to release the transcripts.

let everybody see. >> reporter: clinton talks about cracking down on wall street. >> we still have to crack down on the big banks. >> reporter: as a highly paid speaker clinton appears to have told the bankers the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry. in the e-mails released not authcated by clinton or nbc news, she also said new banking regulations after the 2008 crisis were passed for political reasons, and the jury is still out on the 2010 dodd/frank wall street reform law. a stolen e-mail wikileaks says was to campaign chairman john podesta and others last october reveals clinton decided to oppose the tpp trade deal even before seeing the final version. contrary to her later claim. an adviser write, if she weighs in now without viewing the document, some in labor might wonder why she didn't just say she opposed earlier. donald trump and surrogates

pouncing on this. rudy giuliani with willie geist. >> she is bombarded and needs something to save her because the stuff she says those e-mails is disqualifying being president of the united states. >> reporter: the clinton campaign firing back blaming russia for the hacks and the fbi suspects that hushia is involved at the highest levels. vladamir putin denying that he is trying to influence the election. the claim he is trying to hurt hillary clinton's campaign. at the same time the cia according to an nbc news exclusive report is planning a covert operation to retaliate against russia for that continuing hack of the clinton e-mails. and we're also learning from other e-mails last summer that clinton aides were worried about a character flaw that clinton was refusing to apologize for her private server, until that is she started doing interviews starting with us, last summer. back to you, matt and savannah. >> we remember it well. thank you.

>> let us talk about all of this with chuck todd. good morning to you. >> good morning, sir. >> months and months hillary clinton refused to talk about or release the transcripts of the speeches to goldman sachs saying you know, she would do that sometime when donald trump released his taxes. now we know allegedly what was included in her comments to goldman sachs. do you have a better sense of why she didn't release them? >> i sure do. this was i think this would have been more problematic for her in the democratic primaries. look, the democratic party is moving in a direction much faster to the left than hillary clinton ever was. what wikileaks, what we have learned out of all of this, matt, on one hand it sort of reinforced what we thought we knew about hillary clinton. but politically, ideally this will be exposed during the primaries that basically she was making a calculation to move to the left, i think it would have been absolutely damaging in the primary and possibly cost her the nomination.

>> so obviously if you say it would have been that damaging in the primary the question then is how damaging if at all is it now with three weeks to go until the general election? >> i think in a general election much less damaging, one, i mean there are some voters that are going to be reassured that she is in the middle here a little bit, number one. and second, remember who her opponent is. i think against another opponent this could be more lethal. i think against donald trump obviously he blots out the sun with all of his problems. >> let's talk about donald trump. he spent the weekend really honing in on this idea and this message that the whole system is rigged. if you really think about it, i mean, that's a message that not a message to win, it's not a message to turn out voter because frankly people might get depressed and think why bother. it's to explain a loss. >> that's right, and i think it's also a message as a way to not lose either. to not look like a loser.

this is going to be donald trump looking like a fighter, donald trump defining victory in his own way. i mean, we've got -- we know donald trump pretty well i think the three of us, one thing he'll never admit is to losing or failing at anything. so, to me this feels like donald trump's way of deciding this fight for the presidency will make him look like a winner even if he gets trounced. >> chuck todd, thank you very much. >> you got it. >> >> nbc news will bring you the third final presidential debate wednesday night. coverage begins 9:00 eastern time. overseas a massive operation launched by the iraqi army to wrestle control of mosul, the country's second largest city from the hands of isis. nbc's richard engel is with troops on the move in northern iraq this morning. good morning. tell us what you're seeing there. >> reporter: good morning. this is a major operation where we are we've been hearing rockets and artillery throughout

the day. it began in the early morning hours and around 60,000 iraqis are taking part, it's also the main focus of the some 5,000 u.s. troops in this country. the biggest offensive against isis anywhere so far has begun. and this morning iraqi forces backed by american air power and artillery are on the move. >> it seems like every iraqi in uniform and every vehicle is being brought in for this operation. and so far this stage moving the armor to the front line is moving very quickly. but american commanders say it could slow down considerably if and when they meet resistance. heading into battle but their mood is upbeat. as the attack convoy stopped briefly, some troops started dancing. and they are getting a warm reception from iraqi civilians. many villagers came out to welcome the troops as they advanced toward mosul where more

than a million people are penned in by isis as human shields. but then as the convoy drew closer to mosul an ominous sign. huge plumes of black smoke shut out the sun. isis torched these oil wells, wells it used to fund its terror rather than allow them to go back to the iraqi government. many iraqis want revenge for over two years of isis abuses. we will be victorious in mosul, god willing a soldier said. it's unclear how long the mosul offensive will take, days or perhaps a few months. it depends on what isis has in store for these troops. iraq's prime minister said this mission has one goal, to liberate mosul from isis and god willing we will win. back to you. >> richard, thank you. an update on a tragic story out of lexington, kentucky, the 15-year-old daughter of olympic

sprinter tyson gay was killed. police announced last night they arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with that case. trinity gay was shot outside a restaurant sunday when a group of men in two cars opened fire on each other. trinity was not in either car. she later died at a hospital like her father she was a sprinter. she ran for her high school team. now to dramatic video we showed you last week, a great white shark busting into a cage with a diver inside. this morning that diver is telling his story for the first time. and we have the latest on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is the video that went viral, that shark emerging from that shark cage inside had been a lone diver. what you see is the view from the boat. until now we had not heard from the diver himself. but this morning he tells us this was not the only shark he

was confronted with. thrashing furiously, a fuj shark inside a shark cage. the animal panicking, trapped. what you can't see is the chinese diver who moments earlier was inside that same small cage. the shark's bloody body horrifying witnesses, watching from the boat. >> is there anybody in there? >> reporter: seconds later ming surfaces, uninjured. >> i feel very lucky. can still alive and then nothing, nothing get hurt. >> reporter: the sequence lasting less than two minutes. taking the bait, the great white slammed into the cage. >> before he broke the cage his nose is in the small window. so i tell myself that i say hey, come on, you don't want to go into my face but maybe less than a second after he broke the cage. >> reporter: the diver thrown

out into shark infested water. >> two other shark swim below me. >> reporter: above panic, someone opens the hatch and ming emerges. >> i don't think he -- he panicked. just accident. >> reporter: close encounters occur. it can look like a shark attack, in fact, the animal is unable to swim backwards. experts warn tourists not to take risk like in mexico earlier this year. a diver touching a shark's nose. after this latest incident, ming says he'll keep diving. >> i get back to the cage the next day. >> reporter: ming says the shark was so powerful he was thrown out of the cage and left holding a piece of the torn off metal, he says that he was not that frightened because everything happened so quickly. i'm not sure everyone would say that. >> i would agree with that. thank you.

>> i had not thought about it. bad in the cage, not great outside either. thank you. back to the video now we showed you at the top of the show. it's dramatic rescue caught on camera sunday, after a fiery crash in florida. two vehicles collided, sending an suv off the road and down a very steep embankment. cell phone video shows palm bay police officers and several bystanders rushing to free the trapped driver as the suv burst into flames. after they pulled him out they locked arms, form add human chain, carried the driver up to safety. he only has minor injuries. to dylan for a check of the weather. al is on the mend. >> he picked a good week to recover. it's going to be in the 80s, sunny, fantastic this week across the northeast and in fact, across most of the country it's going to feel like late august than october. summer temperatures thanks to this area of high pressure pushing the jet stream up to the north. look at memphis, 88 degrees for

"today" national investigative correspondent, jeff rossen, set up a test to find out. >> we're going to test your palates by the way. we'll see if you love tap. by the way, tap water has been in the news recently with some cities reporting lead contamination. but experts say in most of the country, tap water is not only safe, it tastes really good. still, so many of us love that feeling of getting bottled

water. you see on the label words like "pure" and "minerals." it just feels like it is better and we pay up for it. but can you really tell difference? this morning, we are launching a blind taste test. we're going to test matt and savannah in just a moment. but first, it is your turn. >> it's light, it's crisp. >> good. really good. >> reporter: we always hear -- drink more water. >> we buy cases of water. >> i buy water all the time. >> reporter: turns out the bottled water market is booming. americans now spending nearly $20 billion a year on it. $20 billion! but can you really taste the difference? i'm curious. so here's what we're doing. we're coming over here. in this container we're putting tap water right out of the sink. good old-fashioned tap. in this container over here, we have this expensive bottle of water. this goes for about $3 a bottle. if you don't know which was which -- they smell and look the same -- could you pick it out?

we are setting up shop in new port center in new jersey. putting both types of water in identical cups. simple question. which one do you like better? oh, he's swishing it around. >> it's my wine tasting ability. >> reporter: right away, some can't even taste the difference. >> i think they both taste the same. >> taste like plain water. also tastes like plain water. >> there a he no difference between them. >> no difference between them. >> no difference. >> reporter: but remember, this is a difference. this water is free, and this water is about $3 a bottle. you chose the expensive bottled water over the tap. >> you could taste the difference. when they ask for tap or bottles, i want bottles. . >> you are expensive date. >> reporter: basically. >> some swear by it. >> i like the bottled water. >> you chose bottled water. you have a fancy palate. >> i can't afford my own palate. >> but don't count the tap out yet. >> tap water. >> i have no problem with tap

water. >> that's what i drink every day. i don't see any need to pay more money. >> i always trust somebody wearing a bowtie. >> you got to do it. you are just an expert on everything. it is practically a tie. >> bottled water. >> tap water. >> bottled water. >> tap water. >> reporter: but by the end of the day after testing more than two dozen people, we have a winner. >> i like this one. >> this one. >> reporter: 55% saying the tap tastes better. a narrow victory, but a big savings. do you know what this is? this is tap water. you chose it over expensive bottled water. >> no. i don't vhave to buy bottled water anymore. >> is that a little dance i saw? >> yeah. >> that's the save money dance. >> that's the save money dance. . >> love that guy. still, bottled water, by the way, more popular than ever. researchers say this may be the first year bottle ld water actually outsells soda. now that we've tested you at home, we want to test matt and savannah. we have bottled water out for

makeup products. does that high price really buy you a better look or can you get that luxurious look from the drugstore brand of makeup? we have those identical twins hitting the streets to test it out. we'll see if you can tell the difference. >> matt knows his beauty products. >> we'll see. i might get that one wrong. >> tomorrow morning. coming up, encouraging "sex and the city" fans with a movie. and a super moon. but first these messages. >> howl at the moon. mom, i have to tell you something. dad, one second i was driving and then the next... they just didn't stop and then... i'm really sorry. i wrecked the subaru. i wrecked it. you're ok. that's all that matters.

"our democracy relies on confidence in election results and the speaker is fully confident the states will carry out this election with integrity." the clinton campaign blasting trump. >> he is swinging at every phantom of his imagination because he knows he's losing. >> reporter: the latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll shows clinton now leads trump by

11 points. this after that 2005 tape surfaced and nine women allege trump inappropriately touched or groped them, allegations the campaign denies and that nbc cannot independently verify. >> i've never seen donald trump act toward women over than as a gentleman. >> reporter: meanwhile, clinton grappling with the ongoing fallout from daily wikileaks document dumps of e-mails. clinton seemed to imply during a 2013 goldman sachs speech she took action against wall street for political purposes telling the firm, "if you are an elected member of congress and people in your constituency were losing jobs, and everybody in the press is saying it's all the fault of wall street, you can't sit idly by and do nothing." the clinton campaign has dismissed the hacks as nothing more than a russian-led watergate style crime. meanwhile, they're out this morning with a tough new ad casting trump as america's new bully.

later start times do seem to be working because parents say they don't have to try as hard to drag groggy kids out of beds. especially high schoolers. schools are reporting more alert students but critics say the later start time creates more stress at the end of the school day. then you have to rush kids to get to the extracurriculars, home work, et cetera. >> my niece is 7, the other is 10. they start their day at 6:00 a.m. they go to a christian elementary school in texas and they're in class by 7:00. >> wow. >> that's crazy. >> my older daughter starts at 7:30. >> when did you start? >> like 9:00. >> i used to have this french teacher because we were always falling asleep. in the winter he would open up the windows and let the cold air in because every kid was falling asleep in class. that's the thing i remember about middle school. that one thing. >> not what you learned in class. >> fresh air gives you that certain je ne sais quoi. next up, what could be a nice vote of confidence for consumers, or it could be the

worst idea in retail ever. in the apple store, you have seen those tethers they attach to the iphones and the table? they are supposed to thwart savannah from walking off with one of the phones. but apple may do away with the tethers all together. the company says the ties prevent customers from properly testing the product like trying on a case or seeing how much space it takes up in your pocket. but savannah, that's not where you keep it. this will not mean it is open season for crooks. alarms will ring if someone tries to walk out of the store. with the phones. apple can block the products remotely. >> when i read that, oh, that makes sense. you can turn it essentially into a paper weight. >> it is one of those little things that bothers you when you are trying to mess with the phone and it is tethered. >> especially that iphone plus. let's do "popstart!." >> let's get to it, ladies and

some showers, some thunderstorms, too. by the end of the week those move into the northeast with that cold front that's moving in. temperature wise though, it is going to be a very warm week. most of the country will be dealing with much above-average temperatures by as much as 25 to 30 degrees. record highs are likely all through the beginning of the week. then things will balance out a bit as we get to the end of the week. but then it gets above average back throu all right. starting to see clearing skies around san francisco into the north bay after what was left of some showers this morning around tri-valley moving off to the east. still a slight chance we could see an isolated shower or two at least before sundown tonight. temperatures mid-60s around san francisco and low 70s across the valleys today. from here skies clear and things begin to dry out. look at those temperatures for the second half of the week around the coast and san francisco mid-70s and reach mid-80s inland possibly starting

as early as thursday. >> that's your latest forecast. savannah. forecast. savannah? look at these lovely ladies. we are about to launch our new "today style" brand. it is all about fashion for everybody and every body. the women behind the fashion movement. take a look. our style squad. ♪ >> beauty to me means confidence. it also means feeling your best first thing when you wake up in the morning. >> there's nothing more beautiful than when we see women who support other women. >> "today's style" is about being real. it is about fashion that makes you feel good. beauty that makes you shine from the inside out. >> fashion is supposed to be fun and easy and creative. >> fashion shouldn't be exclusive or intimidating. we want you to turn to us for

traditional outfit, not a tuck s tuxedo outfit. you think i can pull that off? bobbie doesn't seem so sure. let's get to the ladies. we've got tamron. what was tamron's big question? >> so tamron wanted to try one of the hottest trends of the season which is the boyfriend jean. now we have seen beyonce, rhea that, gwen stefani. tamron was worried she would look wider in the boyfriend jeans. >> it really helps that tamron is not shy when it comes to the orange carpet. >> here's the crick with boyfriend jeans. you want them to be fitted through the hips, fitted through the butt which is really important, then baggy through the leg. that's how you get that boyfriend jean that looks like your jeans, not your actual

man's jeans. >> you didn't think you could pull it off. what do you think not? >> i still can't. >> is it's relaxed, it's cool. by the way, $39.99 for those jeans. >> tamron, thank you very much. you're working the orange carpet. next up, we have hoda. what was hoda's big question? >> hoda wanted to rock a pair of leather pants. she's got the legs. look at her. you have the legs to pull this off. honestly, the trick with leather parnts, it is all about the seaming and the fit. you'll notice on your pants you have great panels down the side. go with a casual top to make it look less serious and effortlessly edgy. this is a two-in-one top. the pants are from bebe. affordable, comfortable. >> i don't know if people heard

boot. dyl dylan, how do you feel. >> because i'm so short with stubby legs, i would never think of putting on boots this high. >> you look amazing in this. >> thank you. >> will you try this more often? >> i think i might. yeah. i'm not really a dress person. like in real life. but can i wear these with jeans? >> you can wear them over leggings, you can wear them over jeans. we'll help you style a million different ways. >> well done, dylan. >> kathie lee. we say last, but not least. what was kathie lee worried about? get out of here! >> yes. now i was so excited to dress miss kathie lee because there isn't anything she hasn't worn. so matt, you'll be happy to -- i started at the adult shop. a sheer body suit. fashion is everywhere. you can wear fashion regardless of your age or size or anything. getting you in the sheer shirt was so much fun. you are down to try anything but

but first, on a monday morning, this is "today" on nbc. because she doesn't know that it kills 40,000 californians... every year. because she doesn't understand what cancer is. because she can't spell emphysema. because she is a butterfly, who fights fires. because she is my daughter, and the surgeon general says that raising tobacco taxes... is a proven way to make sure she never smokes. that's why i'm voting yes on 56.

back now, 8:43. exactly two weeks to go until halloween and you don't have to be a creative genius to transform your home into a haunted house. martha stewart has great ideas from the pages of "martha stewart living." martha, good morning. i walked in the studio, a guy said to me, i like the bowtie on you. martha said, "not so much." you've never been one to mince words. you are actually starting with something, you are decorating -- dare i say -- store-bought cookies. >> these are from right around here. you can make your own, of course. frost them with bear fur. this is bear fur. what we're making are bear paws. then put some of these nice cut

that way you don't ruin your pumpkin. >> once you cut that pumpkin, let the decay begin. >> right. exactly. what are you doing for halloween? >> be with the kids. we're going to do the old in-town halloween parade. >> oh, that's fun. >> which is always fun. how about you? you throwing a party? i always decorate my front gate with all kinds of scary things. we have horse skeletons that nay in the dark. they're very scary. >> cool. finally, the glowing spiders. >> you can get these fantastic -- you break these. you know. >> glow sticks. >> they'll start to glow. you make little holes in the side of a styrofoam ball and you stick these in. how many legs does a spider have? >> eight. >> okay. so you stick in eight. then you put a little --

>> what a great idea. >> -- a little ring in the top. but make sure you glue that in with a hot glue gun. >> i don't think i have enough slack. >> make sure you put plenty of glue on there so it holds it in. otherwise, it might pull out. a fat glow stick for the nose. put a little ball over that. don't forget the eyes. you break this and you stick this -- >> how long do these glow sticks last? >> they last about seven hours. if you do this right before they come, the kids come to your door or your gate, spider eggs, very fabulous. a balloon filled with water and a glow stick inside. break the glow stick. oh, this is a hard one. there, i got it. and fill that with water. and then little stocking -- you get these at the drugstore, 99 cents for two. your favorite little socks. >> great ideas. >> i love how this looks. it really is kind of inexpensive

and effective for halloween. >> martha, as always, great to have your ideas. have a happy halloween. >> oh, you, too. >> have fun. up next be with the self-proclaimed odd mom helps savannah get ready for baby number two. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

radio for sirius xm i signed up. andy cohen called me this summer and asked me to do it. i was so flattered and honored. i feel like i get to be the balsamic reduction of myself because on tv i'm not allowed to say bad words. this really feels like my true essence. >> do you take live calls? what are some topics you get? >> we take callers. i do sort of rants about my week. we have all kinds of viewers. the cool thing is that they're from all over. they're rectangular red states, and all kinds of people from all walks of life. i love interacting with them. >> you have such a following now because you have the bravo show now, "odd mom out." first of all, the first time you were here you had your co-star who was pregnant in the show. she was like eight months pregnant but skinny as a rail. >> yep. we wanted to make the comment about that and the network begs us to do a little prosthetic bump. i said, no. this is a choice. there are women who look -- i

person. there is always that feeling that you're not keeping up. that's what our show is about, not parenting. >> you have the radio show, the tv show. you are the queen of all media. you have a new book out called "sprinkle glitter on my grave." there is a very cute story behind that title. >> it sounds morbid but it is motivational. my daughter ivy came with me to the cemetery to see my aunt in queens. there were these wilting flowers. she said why do people put flowers on graves. it is so sad when they die. when you die i'm going to sprinkle glitter on your grave because you are fabulous and you are very hard to clean up. >> what is the book about? >> it is essays about my childhood in new york city, now raising my kids here, and kind of how my family is sort of like the adams family and our morbid side actually helps us live life to the fullest. >> so you have two girls and a boy? >> yes. >> i have a girl, i'm about to have a boy. >> oh. >> they said you had some advice for me. or maybe just a warning. >> fasten your seatbelt?

they said was from you. it was krispy kreme doughnuts from harry connick. you were on my local news show when i was 15. >> you were 15 working at local news? >> no. i'm kidding. my age. no. chicago. i was a local news anchor, fox chicago. we had krispy kremes sent to us. >> how many krispy kremes could you eat in a sitting? >> i ate the entire box. what's in a box? took me the whole two-hour show and i ate the entire box. >> you don't realize until after the fact. >> terrible decision. >> there's a dozen in a box. you actually went and opened a second box zp. >> i busted open a second box. >> i busted open a second box. >> so this part of the show, harry, we go through these different topics that people are talking about all around the country. one of them is beyonce. since you are one of the greatest performers of all time -- >> oh, thank you. >> could you survivor the this?

she was performing and her ponytail got hikdooked in her earring. blood started spilling down her ear. she never stopped performing. what's the craziest thing when you wanted to stop? >> i just remember being on stage when you have bronchitis or you have the flu. and the people who have paid money to see you really don't care. you have to give them their money's worth. that's something i used to talk about on "american idol" a lot. the lot of the kids would come on and say i don't feel well. my theory is, well, if you're well enough to be here, then don't tell us. you have to go ahead and do it. if you're sick, you should stay home and take care of yourself. but beyonce i think is a tremendous performer so it is not a surprise at all that she just defendaidn't make a big de. >> does your ear hurt? >> couple of months ago -- i

still can't wear earrings. >> your ears are not pierced? >> yeah. but i've never had one rip out of my ear before. >> you mean it ripped through the lobe of her ear? >> mine was almost through the lobe and we had to get this guy to sew both of my ears up. i still can't wear nearrings. >> how many earrings is too many? my daughters are old enough to decide for themself. they say i want a double piercing. i mean how many earrings -- >> i have one, two, three, four on this side. >> four. >> i have two on this side. but i want five. i don't think there is a limit. >> just whatever you're feeling. do you ever wear four on the air. >> >> i do. i let this one close up because every time i pick up the phone to answer, i hit it. it hurts. it hurts. >> do you sleep with those in? >> yeah. seems like a lot of work to take them all out. >> these i leave in. hopefully next week i can finally get these pierced again. >> you sleep with them and

everything? >> i sleep with them. >> it doesn't hurt when your head's on pillow? >> sometimes. i got to cope with it. cope with it. >> we got a double take for you this morning. >> aren't you proud of me for trying to understand? >> you genuinely seemed interested in this conversation. >> i am. >> you are outnumbered in your house. >> jill is in the house. geora, my old elest, is working with me on the show. charlotte is my middle daughter. and kate my younger daughter is in school. three tfemale dogs and a female cat. >> you don't have a choice. >> i don't have a choice in the matter. i haven't had a choice since i met my wife. that was 26 years ago and i have been choiceless since. i got y'all, brothers. >> you're interested in earrings. >> so this we saw this morning. it made us do a double-take. thanks to our friends at american express, we have

really crispy. >> that's hard to do. >> i'll start with a breast that has the bone and the skin. it is hard to buy boneless skin-on breasts. we're going to take it off which is a really simple technique. a sharp paring knife, cut down along the ribs here. >> is this just a simple one-two kind of thing? >> yeah. basically just follow the curvature of the ribs. >> that's intimidating, to be honest. >> you are intimidated right now? >> little bit. little bit. >> it's really simple. >> you cook a lot, tamron? >> i do cook like four times a week. i've never gotten comfortable deboning. >> you can't buy a breastbo, boneless with the skin? >> no. >> come over and poke it 30 or 40 times in the skin. this is a key step. you have a lot of fat under here and you have to render out the fat giving it a bunch of channels to come out. we also want to add salt and

want the salt to have a good place to go. simple so far. the next thing is we want really good contact with the skin and the pan. that's how we get it crispy and we have a round chick een breas. >> right. >> that's no good. pound it out. harry, i'm sure you have really bad days. come home, take it out on the chicken breast. >> that sounds appropriate. >> you can write a song about it or you can pound a chicken. >> i already did. don't worry, that's what i do. >> so you pound it out. >> yep. then we're going on to this rack over here. we all know that chicken breasts can dry out pretty easily. >> yeah. >> which is a big complaint. there is nothing worse than when the chicken is dry. >> first we're going to season it ahead of time with some salt on both sides. >> the pounding it out is the best tip for ame because it is rounded and it is that one piece that gets burned. >> i'm going to ask harry connick jr. to put this in the

fridge for me. >> that's a once in a lifetime thing. >> there is one in there that's been in there for about an hour. >> keep it in mind when you make this recipe, it does require one hour refrigeration. plan ahead. >> up to eight hours. do it ahead if you want. >> got it. >> i cook on cast iron almost all my meals. >> cast iron is great. we're actually going to use the classic 12-inch skillet which is super versatile. we're going to get some good sticking. we'll get that brown bits that are going to go into a sauce. you can use olive oil or veg oil as well. >> you want this chicken to come back to room temperature? >> no. start with the chicken cold. put the chicken in cold. cold pan, cold chicken. >> cold pan, too? >> cold pan, cold chicken. >> which is all news to me. i would have gotten the oil hot. >> which is what you normally do. what's great about this method, it actually goes back to some classic french technique. >> harry, you should know that.

you speak french, you told me. [ speaking foreign language ]. >> you heard that in my earpiece. >> you get it hot. >> we're going to put over medium hot. we're going to take this cast iron skillet and put it on top. >> way out of my league. >> you're going to go seven to nine minutes over here. flip it over. that's basically going to be done. >> the heat is high-medium? >> medium heat. these guys go over here. we'll use this great pan. drippings right here to make the sauce. >> what do we do with that? >> this looks like a roux. >> it does look like a roux. for dan's recipe, go to today.com/food. looks like a roux. as harry pointed out. >> yep. just do a little bit of browning and softening on that shallot there. then we're going to build our

sauce which is a little bit of the brought. we've got the brine from the pickled cherry peppers that we're using. >> harry, dig in. tell us what you think. we also have sauteed mushrooms. >> man. >> delish? >> yeah. >> really re-inventing chicken breasts. >> thank you, dan. dylan, i was wondering where you are. there's food and you are nowhere to be found. >> i'm all the way downstairs. it looks delicious though. let's take a look at what's going on for the week ahead. we are still going to see some scattered showers in the pacific northwest, isolated thunderstorms through wisconsin today. then as we get to the middle of the week, the midwest gets most of the scattered showers and storms. by the end of the week it is going to make its way into the northeast. temperature wise, it is going to be a warm week. we are looking at much above average temperatures. about 20 to 30 degrees. most likely breaking some records early this week. the below-average temperatures in the middle of the week out west will be replaced by

right outside clearing around the bay area, 50s and 60s out there. we can see a few isolated showers around the hill tops. the sierras 6,000 feet, we are starting to see snow from alpine medals to kirk wood. it may need some change there on interstate 880. 60s and 70s around the bay area. slight risk of showers today. the trend for the next few days look warmer, 70s returning to the san francisco and 80s starting thursday. guys? >> thank you, dylan. is he is he no-nonsense fixer on the hit show "ray donovan." as he gears up for the season, i asked my dentist if an electric toothbrush was going to clean better than a manual... he said sure, but don't just get any one. get one inspired by dentists, with a round brush head!

like ten seconds, i'm out, i need the line? >> it's pride. i'm never going to do it. after ten seconds i just went, line? i didn't say it loud enough so the girl didn't hear me so i had to do it again. line! she couldn't understand what i was saying. i actually called "line" three times. >> i tried to help him out. i really did. >> what did you do? >> his first line was something he missed was maybe belle rush can do it. >> how about the rush? >> that's terrible. >> horrible. >> liev, i read that -- or i think you heard you say at one point that you were aching to act this play with janet. where did that come from? was it just from seeing her? >> from watching her work. i've seen her work. i watched her work a number of

times. but then something sent me a video of the production that she did in london when she originated this production, and i don't know how to describe that. you just see somebody. i think the best metaphor is like sports. i think people might understand that. you see another athlete doing something and you go, i want to play. i want to work with them. i want to do something with them. i was right. there is -- we have a similar kind of athleticism about acting. we have a kind of tenacity and a kind of energy and wit and it's -- it's just we're really well matched. i'm having the time of my life. >> janet, your turn. she's like let me soak it in. yeah. the same. i'd seen liev on stage. obviously in his film and tv stuff. he's just a brilliant, brilliant actor and i thought that would work. that's fun. that's dangerous. >> it was magical. it was so incredible.
