to respond. hallie jackson has more on this growing controversy. good morning. >> reporter: hi, savannah. we're talking about a gathering of the national policy institute here in washington, a conference now causing controversy for what was said and who it was said about. video surfacing of the conference of the alt-right an extremist movement with ties to white nationalism. at the podium the self-proclaimed leader richard spencer using language similar to what was heard in nazi germany. >> for us as europeans it is only normal again when we are great again. hail trump. hail our people. hail victory. >> reporter: in the crowd a handful of supporters responding with a straight arm salute, spencer telling nbc news his words and the crowd's reaction were meant to be what he calls ironic and exuberant, arguing the alt-right is not a neo-nazi

group, that they feel free to criticize trump while also praising the president-elect for as he says, being good for the movement. in response to the conference in washington, a trump transition spokesman says, president-elect trump has continued to denounce racism and he was elected because he will be a leader for every american to think otherwise is a complete misrepresentation of the movement that united americans from all backgrounds. through his campaign trump has repeatedly denounced the support of racist groups. >> i totally disavow the ku klux klan, i totally disavow david duke. >> reporter: when questioned about supporters inciting violence after the election he said this. >> i say stop it. if it -- if the it helps, i will say this, and i'll say it to the camera, stop it. >> simply saying stop it is not enough. >> reporter: richard represents the southern poverty law center

which is counted more than 700 reports of hate crimes since election night. a spike it says occurred after president-elect trump won the white house. his top adviser is facing more questions now about the president-elect's response. >> he addressed it many times, told people to cut it out. that in front of 32 million people and he has said he will be the president of all americans. >> reporter: one of trump's appointments, steve bannon. who ran the news outlet breitbart aiming to pak it the platform for alt-right. concerned about the tone that sets for the administration. >> he said he wanted to bind the wounds of division yet in bannon he appointed someone who fanned the flames of division. >> reporter: but steve bannon in a recent interview with "the wall street journal" said he has zero tolerance for racist or anti-semitic overtones of the alt-right. >> hallie jackson, thank you. >> let's bring in nicolle

wallace. good to see you. talk more about that white nationalist situation. but start with this meeting held in new york yesterday, donald trump inviting media executives and journalists, some of the emp in the room i think felt they were about to have some kind of a fresh start. instead it turned confrontational with donald trump calling some in the room liars, one person described it as a blanking firing squad. so, what happens to a fresh start or is this simply sending a message? >> so donald trump has some legitimate concerns with the media. one is that all of us, myself included, relied on polls that turned out to be flat wrong so. there was a message to be delivered i think that not only his supporters but even the media could have heard openly and acknowledged that we all relied on polls that turned out not to be true. we did miss some of his support and we did miss some of his supporters. that said, launching a hot war with the media before you are inaugurated really deprives you as a politician and he's not

just a candidate, he will be the leader of this country, of a whole lot of viewers, so this is biting your nose to spite your face in my view. >> let's talk about bypassing the media, he release add video setting out the agenda for his first 100 days or so. lots of presidents have chosen to go through their own channel. what did you make of the videotape, in particular what was in it, what wasn't? >> hillary clinton and jeb bush two traditional politicians announced their runs for the presidency in a similar video. so, as a tactic it's a good one, it's a smart one. again, there will come a point where you want to speak not just to your supporters, who are cheered by his efforts to bypass the media, but when you want to speak to the viewers of programs like this and this, again, is going to deprive him of access to a lot of americans that he's going to want to reach. >> in terms of speaking to americans, we saw hally's report of the gathering of white nationalists, we saw that heil trump salute that looked so much

like a heil hitler salute. what does president-elect trump need to say about that right now to stop that in its tracks? >> so, we could call it the alt-right and white nationalism. i understand those terms are thrown around interchangeably. it is white supremacy and there is one answer. it is not only to say they are not with me, it is to denounce it and it is the same way that pressure build on candidate obama to give a speech about race when the conversation about race become fraught, i think the pressure is building on donald trump to address the subject of race, and the "blurred lines" between what is plainly white supremacy and his base of support. and if he doesn't, the responsibility will be on him if we see some sort of up tick in racial intolerance or incidence. this is not really a concern among adults but if you see these conversations, this kind of speech spreading to school this is is squarely on his shoulders. >> nicolle wallace, thank you very much. we turn to the latest on

all month long our speegser is size "no save today" has been helping to raise awareness about men's health issues. this morning, it is prostate cancer. according to the american cancer society, 1 in 7 men will get prostate cancer. just last month actor ben stiller revealed that he was diagnosed two years ago and treated successful. he joins us now along with his surgeon, dr. edward schafer, of meteorologist. feinberg school of medicine. good morning to both of you. >> i'm doing great. i was really fortunate that my course of treatment was basically an operation and that was it. >> your status today in terms of cancer is -- >> is. yeah. cancer-free as of today. anybody who's had cancer, you know you just have to keep on checking on it. but i'm really fortunate. >> i mention statistics a second ago, ben. i would imagine when someone tells you those words, you have cancer, statistics don't matter. you feel like the only one who's

been told that. >> yeah. i mean it is surreal. it is not something that i was really thinking about. it wasn't on my radar at all. and if it wasn't for this test that we're going to talk about, i don't know if i would have had as easy a course of treatment or the prognosis that i did have. >> were you 48 years old when diagnosed. no family history. no symptoms. >> there was cancer on my father's side but not prostate cancer specifically. >> your primary care physician, not dr. schafer, had been administering a psa test for what? about two years? >> yeah. he brought up the test to me and explained what it it was. he said it is just basically a test to see. i guess when the first one came in it was a little high. he said i just want to keep giving you this test every few months, about every four, five, six months to see what happens. >> i hear that story and i say that is your best case argument

for the psa test, and yet we all know that it's controversial. why? >> it's controversial because prostate cancer is a common cancer, 1 in 7 men will have it but not everybody who gets prostate cancer will die from it. so we have to really better identify those who have a lethal or aggressive cancer from throws that do not. >> okay. so what would be the downside to at least testing? >> well, in my mind there's not a lot of downside for a patient to know their stats and know where they stand. but some would argue that if the test is elevated it may lead to unnecessary biopsies or additional tests which can cause anxiety to the patient. >> when you finally came to the decision to treat this, you opted for removal of the prostate. >> yes. >> there are other options. why did you fall on that option? >> because that's what my doctors recommended. >> i'm listening to my doctor. >> i am not a doctor. but i talked to them and ted told me what he thought. i talked to a number of doctors

before i settled on ted and i didn't settle, by the way. >> thanks for that, ben. >> the thing is, it is a whole new world and you have to educate yourself. for me it was learning what the options were. he told me about what he thought the best course of treatment would be for the tumor that i had and so i opted for the operation. >> we hear about this operation and the first thing a guy will tell you on a street or when you're at a cocktail party with that guy is i'm not doing that because there's all kinds of side effects. im impotence, incontinence. >> there could be side effects. when a man is confronted with cancer it is important to understand what is the best treatment for them. men can have difficulty with their urination and with their sexual function after treatment for prostate cancer. it is not just isolated to surgery. so today we really try to do a better job recommending active treatment for men versus just watching their cancers.

>> in general terms, may i ask you if you've had to deal with any of the side effects? >> yeah. but i'm doing good. all good. >> yeah? okay. >> read between the thumbs there. >> i settled for the right doctor. no. i mean it's a real thing though. those are all -- when you're confronted with the question of, hey, do you want to live or do you want to make sure that your sex life is the best it can be? i opted for wanting to get rid of the cancer and then see what happens and luckily everything's cool. >> we did a survey with dr. oz as part of this month of men's health. 59% of men we surveyed say they've not discussed the risks and benefits of screening for prostate cancer with their doctor. 54% said they don't know what a psa test even is. what would you say about that? >> that's amazing stat. it is really upsetting to me as a physician and this is what ben and i were really trying to do is talk about this. i think the best and most important step for an individual

man is to really discuss whether or not they should get testing for prostate cancer with their doctor. it is a personal decision. >> you waited a couple years before you came out and told our friend, howard, about this. >> yep. >> so clearly you must have a message for guys out there watching, not only in the month of november when we all get scruffy but every month of the year. >> yeah. i mean for me, it's please talk to your doctor about this, be aware. if it was up to me, i would say every guy should go get tested after the age of 40, 45, especially if you have a family history. the test itself is not harmful. it is what can happen after in terms of overtreatment, those questions. but those are all things can you discuss with your doctor. if i hadn't taken this test i wouldn't have known. i don't know when i would have known until it had probably become something that was not going to have the outcome in terms of the treatment that it did have. >> happy you're okay. >> thank you, plamatt. >> thanks for sharing the story. doctor, great to meet you and thank you very much.

ten-year-old plarnlg marriage t urban, and more. >> i had another family. a mother. a brother. i can still see their faces. >> nicole, this film is so beautiful. already much critical acclaim for it. i imagine for you, it's something you're really proud of. >> i've made so many films in my life. so to have made something that's so emotional but life affirming. i mean it's putting goodness into the world and as much as the film sort of rips your heart out, it also makes you feel really inspired and feel really good about human beings. >> now as an adoptive mother yourself, i think you've said that this is a role though that you felt it was a love letter to your own children, isabella and connor. is that right? >> yeah. i mean for me, this is about mothering. it is about the essence of what mothering is and unconditional love. and when you see the film and you see -- because she had a

vision of adopting a brown-skinned child when she was so young herself in her teenage years. and she made it happen. and i think that. and then the love. the unconditional love that you feel i think is so -- it's really captured in this movie. so, yeah, this is -- but this is not just for adoptive mothers. this is for just mothers. >> i'm from calcutta. i lost him. >> dev is phenomenal in this. he's grown up a lot from "slumdog millionaire" which is a role so many of us saw him in. tell me about your interaction with him and what did you admire most in his acting abilities? >> he's just so joyful, for one thing. dev is funny. and he's -- it was interesting because i play the mother to

young suru who is sonny, played by an indian boy who's named sonny who spoke no english who is incredible in the movie. then dealing with dev when he's growing up -- my son is growing up and is this big, strapping man, it's so different. but that's a great role. you know? so i got to relate to both of them. but dev is just -- he's easy. he's so easy. >> earlier this year kidman celebrated her tenth wedding anniversary with her husband, country music star, keith urban. >> let's talk about the cmas. you and keith look like you're having so much fun, enjoying the performances. i love -- >> i just love being a part of that community. i have to say, the country music community is such a lovely thing to have been invited in to and to be a part of. and so i speak for both keith and i who has obviously been a part of it for so much longer than me. it is just a lovely place to be able to be a part of. >> are you a country girl at heart now?

>> i am. >> i love this picture for his birthday, this was sweet. >> oh, don't! that's us being crazy. take it away. >> then there is -- no! >> this little video of the two of you. >> oh, right? >> car pool karaoke. >> yeah. >> what if i cry? >> do you guys do a lot of duets at home? >> we sing in the car a lot. you were privy to that one. but we do. we do sing. ♪ what if i fall ♪ i won't let you fall ♪ what if i cry ♪ i'll never let you cry >> that's cute. >> i wish i were in the back seat singing along. >> that would be weird. >> i'm dying to see that movie, too. right? >> looks terrific.

with something that they can take with them on their journey in life and that they feel like really rewarded for the time we spent together, that they've grown. i think that's -- to me that's the most important thing. of course i would love to whoop blake's booty. >> wow. did you know when you signed up for this show that this sort of chemistry and this sort of risching, all in good fun, would take place? >> people ask me all the time, alicia, you look like you're having a great time. look at me and miley. how great of a time are we having. you know what i mean? like every day, new year's. >> but we're so lucky to be together. >> look. that's from the flintstones. you know how old that car is? ♪ meet the flintstones they're the modern stone age family ♪ >> this is actually cooler than i thought. >> hi, everybody. here's the "today" show in universal plaza. it is going to be sunny and dry

you mix it all together with a little bit of pesto. store-bought to make it nice and green. layer it on the bottom. sounds like your brussels sprouts are burning, fyi. >> maybe because you're taking so long. >> layer this on top. key is to have enough liquid. go let's be fair. you've done the layering. this is what it looks like. >> you add mozzarella and parmesan cheese. they be you pop it in the oven. wait! i just want to say you add the bechamel on top, add the pancko in the oven, 350. >> have ycan you stretch it out anymore? >> very quick tip. cut the pomegranate in half. you just hit it with the back of a wooden spoon and the pomegranate seeds come out. you save a lot of money and time doing that. moving on down, pomegranate

sprout leaves. >> actually looks really pretty together. >> giada's dish, like if you wanted to have a vegetarian entree, that could take the place of the turkey. >> you can make it the day in advance and let it cool and cute it in cubes and it could be your appetizer. >> this is a total crowd pleaser in my house. >> oh, my goodness! wow! >> let's ask the guys downstairs. we have our tasters. >> brussels sprouts are good. >> they're great, bobby. >> they are, bobby. >> i will tell you, giada, i stole hoda's top after i ate mine of yours. >> because hoda can't eat cheese. >> this thing is amazing. >> that's delicious. >> brussels sprouts are good. >> it's like cheese and cheese. this is a harder task. >> anybody can spllap some past

indiana. what's the most challenging part of a thanksgiving meal to cool? >> to cook or to clean? >> i think organization is tough for people so i start organizing way in advance and i use post-its for everything. i pull out all my platters, i decide where everything is going to go. lay the table out in advance. make as much of the food as i can in advance and really make sure that your prep is done and that you know what you have to put in the oven the day of. because that is really what it is. time is everything. lots of chicken brought a la bobby flay. >> you are a superstar mommy. this morning we want to get into the christmas spirit. to move things along. >> i'm kind of ready. >> we've got an upcoming full hour of steals and deals on december 2nd. our producer said it was okay to announce this. like it was a state secret. speaking of the holidays, i think we have some pictures of us dressed. >> this is what we were dressed this morning at 5:00 a.m. >> we do an homage to elf.

ohhhh i love bath and bodyworks. i have this in my bathroom. and what was the one they preferred? ohhhh. this is suave. really? that's quite a bit of smelling good. suave three fragrances preferred over bath and body works. . this morning on "today food," it is crunch time. we are talking chocolate caramel crunch time. just two days until thanksgiving, giada is going to show us a fabulous dessert that you can make today, then refrigerate until the big day. >> absolutely. that's the key to thanksgiving. making things in advance. chocolate. lots of chocolate. dolce le leche. for the crust, graham crackers. butter. melted butter. this is a typical graham cracker

crust, although we are adding cocoa powder to it. a little bit of salt. then whirl it all together. >> whirl it. >> whirl it. you can obviously whirl it until it becomes sort of crumbling. like that. you make pies, right? >> you know, i don't because i'm never that good at the crust. >> that's so funny. a lot of people get intimidated with making crust and making pies. >> would you come back and do a crust seminar? >> i will. many people say the crust is the thing that throws them off and they just don't want to do. then you just press it together. bake it at 325 or 350 for about eight minutes, let it cool. >> i can tell you that i could just eat the crust. >> so could i. you use actually store bought dolce le leche. i buy my favorite.

nice and thick. dump and stir. >> the old dump and stir. >> i toasted walnuts. chopped chocolate. i do bittersweet chocolate. i like that. but you could do milk chocolate if you want to. orange zest. orange and chocolate work really well together. that's a great combination. again, making something store-bought, doctoring it up, making your flavors all yours. team work makes the dream work. >> i love the smell of that orange. >> when i say you just need one or two ingredients to change something that's store-bought and kind of make it special. spread it all out. chill it. then what i like to do at the end after it's chilled -- chill it for a minimum of three hours but you can chill it for days. >> could you put this in the freezer? >> yeah. you could put it in the freezer. for sure. but pull it out and let it sit at room temperature for a while before you serve it. this is what it looks like after it is chilled.

the way i like to serve it is, just do whipped cream. you could do cool whip. you could do pretty much anything you want. i like to make my whipped cream but a lot of people don't. there you go. i just shave a little bit chocolate right over the top, then i sprinkle it with a little bit of salt. >> so it is that sea salt caramel -- >> correct. >> that's so popular right now. >> otherwise it could be overly sweet desserts sometimes at thanksgiving. this gives it a perfect balance. when dessert is done, you can have your friends or family or kids do the chocolate over the top. jade loves it. you're done. >> the salted caramel has been going for about eight years now. you know how i remember? the incoming president obama was a big fan of salted caramel. that's how i remember first hearing about it. >> why i would vote for you on my game show. >> you eat that one and we'll eat this one. >> giada, this is fabulous.
