from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome to "today." it is a tuesday morning. we're very happy that you're joining us this morning. good morning, savannah. >> hi, nice to have you along. al is hard at work he's got hurricane delta expected to become a major hurricane today. as you can see, there's the track. it is on track to target the gulf coast again we're going to get al's forecast in just a few moments. >> we do start with a look at the white house where president trump is waking up after spending four days at walter reed medical center for coronavirus treatment. his medical team saying the president may not be entirely out of the woods just yet. >> but he was working hard to long strong, even climbing the stairs to the white house balcony last night and then tearing off his mask and posing for pictures on the white house balcony for several moments. the reaction was mixed, and included plenty of outrage from public health experts, who said the message he was sending about masks was wrong and worried about the danger posed to people

working inside the white house where he, moments later, walked inside of course, he is still sick with the virus, still under treatment. we are covering every angle, starting with nbc's peter alexander. >> good morning to both of you not surprisingly, this was a highly produced homecoming you saw president trump walking up the white house stairs and tabing o t taking off his mask. with over 200,000 americans dead and with his own doctors saying he's not in the clear, president trump downplayed the threat, tweeting don't be afraid of covid, don't let it dominate your life, a message called rec less and irresponsible the commander in chief promoting his exit from the hospital as a tv event walking out the doors of walter reed, boarding marine one for a sunset flight back to the white house, while he marched up the

steps and while still infectious removed his mask, at times appearing short of breath before walking inside the backlash for the mask move, immediate. >> it's unexplainable that the president of the united states who is actively shedding virus in millions of particles would walk into that building with the enormous number of staff unmasked >> reporter: 24 hours earlier, the president insisting he had learned a lot about covid. >> and i get it and i understand it. >> reporter: from the white house balcony, president trump also insisting he's beaten the virus. >> don't let it dominate you don't be afraid of it. i stood out front, i led nobody that's a leader would not do what i did. and i know there's a risk, there's a danger, but that's okay and now i'm better and maybe i'm immune i don't know. >> reporter: the president contradicting his doctors who said it would be another week before they could breathe a sigh of relief.

>> he may not entirely be out of the woods yet, the team and i agree that all of our evaluations, and most importantly his clinical status, support the president's safe return home. >> reporter: dr. sean conley praising the president's progress. >> he's back, yeah >> reporter: offering a dose of transparency, no more fever or cough. and while he readily discussed some of the president's personal information, he cited patient privacy when asked whether the president's x-rays showed any lung damage or pneumonia dr. conley also would not say when the president last tested negative for the virus, key to determining who else may have been exposed. >> i don't want to go backwards. >> reporter: and even as the president publicly minimized the risk, a new nbc news survey monkey poll finds that nearly two-thirds of americans are worried that someone in their own family may be exposed to the virus. unlike most persons, president trump will have access to world class care 24/7, even here at the white house and received an experimental therapy that almost

no one else can get. >> peter alexander at the white house for us thank you. also this morning, a new battle is brewing over coronavirus vaccine. the white house has blocked the fda from enacting stricter guidelines that would have made a vaccine's introduction all but impossible before election day nbc news's chief white house correspondent hallie jackson has more good morning. >> reporter: that is not the only fight between the white house and a key public health agency with questions intensifying about the administration's pandemic response this morning the white house is taking on two organizations on the front lines of the battle against covid-19, the fda and the cdc. the white house now blocking the food and drug administration from imposing stricter guidelines for the emergency use of a vaccine the move reported by "the new york times" and associated press, but not independently confirmed by nbc news, would have all but guaranteed no vaccine before election day, something the president has been touting. >> we're going to have a vaccine

very soon. maybe even before a very special date you know what date i'm talking about. >> reporter: the fda looking for vaccine developers to follow patients enrolled in trials for at least two months. the white house reportedly siding with drugmakers, saying there's no clinical or medical reason for the requirement savannah talked to the secretary of health and human services about stricter fda guidelines last month. >> do you think that the fda should enact the stricter standards on the vaccine >> what fda is looking at is some additional guidelines for the manufacturers who might come in for emergency approval. it's a fairly technical document well, we'll look at it and determine if it's appropriate. >> reporter: it comes as the white house is saying thanks, but no thanks to the cdc, according to usa today the report says the white house medical unit declined an offer of assistance from the cdc's leadership monday to help identify and track down people who may have been exposed to white house staffers who tested positive for the coronavirus the cdc confirmed to usa today the white house has not accepted

its offer to run the contact tracing, but a white house spokesperson insists they are engaged with the nation's lead public health agency, saying they're following guidelines and have a full-time cdc epidemiologist on staff. meantime, the cdc is revising its coronavirus guidelines for the third time in less than a month, acknowledging that while the virus is most commonly spread through close contact, in some cases infection can come from exposure to virus in small particles that can linger in the air for minutes to hours a person who tested positive has infected others more than six feet away or just after leaving an area in instances that often involved activities that caused her heavy breathing like singing or exercising. >> reporter: the white house is blocking the agency from putting in place stricter requirements for the emergency use of a vaccine. that's according to reports from "the new york times" and the ap, although we should know nbc news has not independently confirmed that this would have all but

guaranteed no vaccine before election day the fda had wanted patients to be followed for a couple of extra months the white house argued there was no clinical reason for that essentially. we are out to the relevant agencies for comment we'll let you know when we get it. >> hallie jackson at the white house, thank you and that sets us up for the doctor of brown university public health. let's start with the fda, a lot of alphabet soup with the cdc, the fda. a lot of different recommendations. let's just start with the fda. it apparently is recommending that patients that are in the trials for the vaccine be followed for a longer period of time but that would, of course, push off approval for a vaccine the white house said to be blocking it, according to "the new york times". what's your read of this >> good morning and thank you for having me on what the fda is proposing is really a pretty minimum standard it's basically saying everybody who has been in the clinical trial who has gotten a vaccine should be followed for at least

two months before we decide the vaccine is safe. given that they're going to give this vaccine to tens of millions of americans, two-month follow-up is a pretty low bar. and so i'm baffled that the white house has decided this is sort of too much for them and they want to go faster than that i think it's irresponsible i think we should follow the fda guidance. >> we know that this vaccine is on a fast track and that's for good reason and for a good purpose. in a normal vaccine trial, how long would you follow a group of patients after they had had the vaccine dose >> it's worth remembering that typically vaccines take many, many years to develop and a two-month follow-up is -- i can't think of a single vaccine that has had a shorter follow-up than that. again, this is the guidance put out by the fd assiascientists, t given that it's an emergency, we want to get it out quickly, but

we want to go it in a safe way. >> from the fda to the cdc, which has now revised its guidelines about how the virus is spread and saying that it can be spread at a distance greater tharn s than six feet and the aerosol droplets can be contagious, can you break that down for us >> absolutely. so we've actually known about this for a good, i don't know, three, four months and it's taken the cdc awhile to update its guidance in a way that everybody has known about. we've known about superspreader events where people were 15, 20 feet away from the person who was infected and got infected. so we know that happens. i'm sorry it has taken the cdc as long as it has. it does remind us when you're indoors with somebody who is infected and they're not wearing a mask, it can be quite dangerous even if you're more than six feet away. >> and let's talk about the president's health i know you're not treating him he's out of the hospital now

given what we do know about when his diagnosis came, the treatment that he's on, is it your sense that he's out of the woods or is this still a potential danger spot for him where the disease could come back >> so what we've seen clinically is that people can get worse seven, even ten days out after their diagnosis or their onset of symptoms. we don't have a good timeline on him. it's been confusing. but he's still in that window. so obviously we hope that he gets through the rest of this without a worsening of his symptoms, but he's nowhere near out of the woods as dr. conley said yesterday, it might be through the weekend before we can really breathe a sigh of relief. >> thank you very much appreciate it. with just 28 days to go it's unclear when president trump will return to the campaign trail. as for his opponent, joe biden, he had a lot to say about the president, the coronavirus, in a racing during a town hall event.

washington correspondent andrea mitchell has more for us good morning. >> good morning. joe biden facing questions from voters last night in miami during that nbc news town hall hosted by lester holt. the former vice president trying to convince undecided voters in donald trump's adopted home state. joe biden bringing the fight to florida, one of the elections biggest battlegrounds while president trump remains off the trail. >> anybody who contracts the virus by essentially saying masks don't matter, social distancing doesn't matter, i think is responsible for what happens to them. >> reporter: biden answering questions from voters at an nbc news town hall >> can you tell us what the biden/harris federal response plan is? >> this is a national emergency. the federal government has an obligation to lay out basic guidelines and the science matters. >> reporter: also addressing that debate with the president

>> i did get frustrated and i should have said this is a clownish undertaking instead of calling him a clown. >> reporter: the former vice president in miami for the first time as the democratic nominee >> thank you all. >> reporter: visiting little havana where cuban-americans represent a key voting block in the state. >> hispanic voters, especially in florida, can now put our nation on a new path forward. >> reporter: but tomorrow the spotlight shifting to the vice presidential candidates. senator kamala harris and vice president mike pence, preparing to face off on the debate stage in salt lake city, utah. >> the stakes in this election have never been higher, the choice has never been clearer and i look forward to the opportunity. >> reporter: the debate commission accepting harris' proposal for a plexiglas divider between the two candidates but with the next presidential debate still scheduled for next thursday, questions remain biden addressing the topic with some distancing help from his wife >> i'm sorry if the scientists say that it's safe and the distances are safe,

then i think that's fine. >> reporter: later adding -- >> i hope we at least have an opportunity to hear the question and answer the question directly before there's an interruption >> reporter: biden also said that he made the decision not to call the president during his time at walter reed, saying he feared it would be intrusive today biden will bring his message to pennsylvania, this as the president, his campaign manager and other key advisers remain stricken about the virus. hoda. >> andrea mitchell for us in washington thank you. and still on politics, a reminder, nbc news will bring you tomorrow night's vice presidential debate, our live coverage begins at 9:00 eastern, 6:00 pacific and now to breaking news overnight, a texas police officer accused in the fatal shooting of a black man has been arrested on the murder charge. shawn lucas was taken into custody last night police say he shot 31-year-old

jonathan price saturday night after responding to a call at a gas station. price's family say he was trying to break up a domestic dispute and was unarmed. he is being held on $1 million bond. it's a good time to check the weather. al, we've been talking about this dangerous hurricane out there. >> we've been watching it overnight and it has intensified. category 2 warnings up and tropical storm watches up for the yucatan peninsula and western cuba it's southwest of cozumel with 115 miles per hour winds this is a recipe for strengthening. we've got gamma and it's going to be moving into the moisture plume and it's going to absorb the moisture and energy. it's a tropical tango moving in and picking the moisture up. plus the sheer breaks up a storm. we don't have a lot of it. a little more as you get closer to the gulf. then there's the energy source this warm water, waters into the upper 80s cross the caribbean.

so it makes landfall as a category 3 or 4 storm on wednesday in yucatan and then its out into the gulf as a category 3 by thursday, it intensifies to a category 4 storm it starts to reach the gulf by thursday night destructive winds just offshore and then we get into friday. landfall, either late friday, early saturday, as a possible weak category 3 or a strong 2. severe impacts and this is a 360-mile radius right there. so anywhere from new orleans, lake charles, and even almost the panhandle of florida has to be involved. we aren't even going to talk about winds yet. but rainfall 5 to 10 inches by friday wewe'll be watatching thisis ov nenext 72 hoururs. we're going to getet to your lol forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds obobjection! my credit card doesn't earn double miles on every purchase. i object to your objection! with the capital one venture card, yoyou earn unlimited double miles on every purchase. anand may it p please the e c, earn 100,000 bonus miles

is it giving people a false sense of security? >> and then our exclusive interview with the head of instagram. >> we think of the election in the u.s. in 2020 as a huge test not only for instagram and facebook, but for the industry at large. >> our wide-ranging conversation on election interference his response to the issues rais

growing number of coronavirus cases inside the white house complex. >> indeed. it's putting a new spotlight on the specific rapid test used by the trump administration, while also raising new questions about covid testing at workplaces across the country nbc's stephanie gosk has details. good morning. >> good morning. the rapid test that the white house uses, the fda recommends it be used on people who are already showing symptoms of covid. if it's used on people who don't have symptoms, there's a higher chance for a false negative result and possibly a false sense of security. this morning there are concerns that the white house has been using rapid covid testing without considering its own fda guidelines at least 12 people who attended president trump's supreme court announcement at the white house less than two weeks ago have now tested positive for the virus. among them, the university of notre dame's president, who described the testing that day in a letter to the student body,

writing in part, a medical professional took me to an exam room to obtain a nasal swab for a rapid covid-19 test. i was directed to a room with others, all fully masks, until they were notified that we had all tested negative and we were told it was safe to remove our masks. >> do you have concerns that there may have been a false sense of security given to the white house with the results of this test? >> too often people take a not should be negative test and that's not how the tests should be used >> the rapid test used by the white house was given manager authorization back in march. >> we have something from abbott labs and it's a rapid test, highly accurate. >> it is given by a doctor and the results are determined on the spot instead of being sent

off to a lab, much like a common flu test for now, it is mostly used in clinics and doctors' offices there is hope that it may eventually be used more widely to help businesses and schools open safely. but the rapid tests are less sensitive than the tests sent to labs, which can take days to get a result. >> the test that you do right then and there does not detect down to the lower levels of virus that many people have or that you have earlier in your disease. and that creates an opportunity for the virus to slip in >> reporter: in a statement, abbott tells nbc news, its rapid id test is 95% accurate within seven days of getting symptoms but in may, the fda issued a warning, saying anyone getting a negative result from that test should consider confirming it with a more sensitive test >> so what is the federal government going to do are they going to do anything to address those issues with that rapid test >> well, hoda, the white house

hasn't gotten back to us with a response on our request. but the government has already given $1.5 billion to nih to research better testing and it is spending $760 million on a new test developed by abbott that is cheaper, but just like the other test, the federal government and the fda says that a negative result does not rule out possible infection, hoda >> all right, stephanie, thank you so much for that coming up next, savannah, you've got an exclusive interview with the head of insta. >> instagram turning ten years old today. we got to talk to the new head of instagram about how far it's come in ten years and issues that will impact all users. >> i think we made a lot of progress in the last year, but there's still a lot more to do. >> we e have a reaeally good convnversation a and we've g go for yoyou right afafter this i still l feel depreressed. many p people taking antntidepressanants

facing the test of its life, the 2020 election. >> it's our job to be worried about it >> adam mosseri has been in the top job for two years. we know what happened in 2016, there was a lot of misinformation that happened on social media do you think that's happening right now with instagram do you feel there are foreign adversaries who are once again trying to use the platform to their own ends. >> there are definitely adversaries that are trying to use platforms like instagram to their own end. we think of the election here in the u.s. in 2020 as a huge test not only for instagram and facebook, but for the industry at large, and we're trying to really focus on three areas primarily. the first is trying to get out the vote in the first place, but the second is to try to be against any foreign interference in the elections, and then the third is the scenario plan there are all these ways in which things can get really complicated. >> is this a five-alarm fire for social media when you think about this election and the

stakes of this election? >> i think the stakes are incredibly high, and result, it's my number one priority. it's the thing i'm worried about most. >> in 2016, you were in charge of the news feed facebook, it was kind of ground zero. it was the first election where i think this really came to the fore. >> the election here in 2016 was a pretty big intense year and learning moment for us it took us too long to focus on the negative that can come from connecting people at scale so i think the biggest take-away is we should have started investing more years early yr than we did and we've been playing catchup since then i'm really proud of the work we've done in the last four years. are we where we need to be no, this work never ends but i think the key take-away for me is that we were too late and we need to invest more to catch up. >> another big issue for instagram, how to combat online

bullying and the negative effects of social media on the young. how do you feel instagram is usd this iss doing in terms of setting up a better environment for users, particularly young users, and the issue of bullying. >> i think we've made progress but there's still more to do. >> new features, one that automatically hides comments and there's also a new warning for when people repeatedly try to post comments that may be offensive. >> i'm sure you've seen the social dilemma, the documentary on netflix it real shown a light on social media. >> they want people to keep doing this with their finger. >> its central accusation is that social media platforms were actually designed to be addictive, that it's a feature, not a bug, to use the famous phrase what is your response to that? >> i think there's a bunch of important issues brought up in the film

i think the film was very one-sided and a bit sensational. what we try and do is make the best out of someone's time we try and make sure that what we do is valuable to people. so we try to show you what you're most interested in. we're not trying to make something that's addictive i think that the film took some of those accusations a bit too far, but honestly there are a lot of really important issues that are brought up. and so that i think is a good thing. >> at the same time, american companies are under scrutiny the u.s. government is working to ban one of instagram's fiercest competitors, tiktok but mosseri says it shouldn't happen. >> the important thing is that if the u.s. ends up banning tiktok, that sets a really powerful precedent for countries all over the world to ban apps like instagram or facebook and i think a lot of u.s. companies benefit greatly, like ours, from being able to operate all over the world

and the risk of that precedent being set or pushed forward is much greater than the benefit we have from slowing down a competitor. >> are you concerned about the national security risk that the u.s. government says is posed by a chinese company having all that data on american citizens precedent aside, isn't that a legit national security concern? >> but i think there are other ways to address those risks than forcing a sale or banning an app outright i think regulation makes much more sense. >> instagram now celebrating ten years, a decade of growth and change, with additions like in ext sta stories and those direct messages. >> what is something we have in our culture because of instagram that we didn't have ten years ago? >> oh, i mean that's an interesting question slid slides into dms. >> i'm not even cool enough.

slide into my dms. nobody slides into my dms. >> are you sure? you don't get dms from people you don't text otherwise >> no. >> i'm going to have to follow you and dm you then. >> do you remember your first instagram post >> i do. unfortunately, i do. yeah, this thing, it was just a clock. this is inside of facebook and, i don't know what year that is -- >> october 12th, 2010. >> someone was telling me about instagram, this cool new photo sharing app and i was like, what's this thing and i pulled it up. >> i had to look up my first one. not much better. some fake flowers. >> oh, they're beautiful, though that's definitely better that's definitely better than a clock. it's literally a clock. >> it just made me laugh that was the beginning of instagram for you and me think how much it's changed over the years. by the way, a lot of people are obsessed with whether or not instagram is going to end up

hiding like counts i asked him about that he said they're still studying it it's kind of on hold because of all the other things that are going on, especially with the election so they're still looking into it but they haven't decided. >> some parents are probably hoping that would be the case but a lot of other folks probably like it. >> i think we have you and al's first instagram posts. >> all right who was that, me >> that's a good one >> you know where that is? on the beach in delaware >> that's a pretty one oh, how cute. >> i was covering the golden globes or something. >> yours were better than mine plastic flowers. >> that was a great conversation i learned a lot. >> there was a little moment there, then. >> no, no, that's not what that means. >> no? >> no, no. >> asking for a friend >> al is always stirring that pot. >> no, please. even with a bad shoulder anyway, we're looking at a big area of high pressure out west

near record highs. it's above average in portland, 77, sacramento 91. minneapolis 14 degrees above average. as we move into wednesday, the warmth gets all the way to washington, d.c., 81 chicago will see 75. by the latter part of the week, temperatures start to moderate by saturday bangor is at 6 good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. as we take a live look outside in san francisco we do see the low clouds and fog across the bay, but clearing across much of the city and our temperatures will reach into the upper 60s. 76 for a high in oakland and some low 90s for much of the inland east bay down to the south county, up to the far north bay. as we go through the forecast rain chances by the weekend.

house balcony. nbc correspondent peter alexander joins us live with the three things to watch. >> that's where we start the president back here at the white house this morning, although not out of the woods yet according to his own doctors. the president is, again, downplaying this coronavirus threat he's telling americans don't be afraid of covid, don't let it dominate your life a highly produced homecoming you see him taking off his mask and posing for the cameras take a listen. >> i stood out front i led. nobody that's a leader would not do what i did. and i know there's a risk, there's a danger, but that's okay and now i'm better and maybe i'm immune i don't know also this morning, the white house is reportedly now blocking the food and drug administration for imposing stricter guidelines for the release of a vaccine that move is significant because it would have all but guaranteed

no vaccine it would have all but gaurned no vaccine before election day. as for joe biden, the democratic nominee, he was at an nbc news town hall in florida and in an apparent swipe at the president, he said anyone would get the virus after dismissing social distancing and wearing of masks is responsible for what happens to them. >> thank you very much a vladimir putin critic who was poisoned and speaks to nbc news before leaving the hospital richard engel has more on the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. for a while it looked like alexi na vol knee was not going to pull through now he's alert and he's pointing fingers. >> alexi navalne is up, awake and strong enough to give a two and a half hour interview to a russian blogger. in the interview, navalny accused putin's intelligence

agents of trying to assassinate. >> translator: the assassins on specially trained people on direct orders from putin he broke down what he thinks happened before boarding a flight from siberia to moscow in august, navalny drank tea. now he suspects the poison was likely planted in his hotel room in siberia, later searched by his staff. navalny says the poison may have been smeared onto his clothing or on a coat hanger or a free bottle of water. whatever it was, once the flight took uf, navalny grew weak, moaning. the pain hard to pinpoint. he says he thought he was dying and credits the pilot and first responders for saving him. my hands shake, he said, if i drink water out of a bottle. i do it like that. i'm getting better each day. navalny was transferred to germany where toxicologists

concluded he was poisoned about novichok, a soviet-era chemical weapon other of putin's opponents have been shot, fallen from windows or poisoned by a radioactive isotope. the kremlin denies poisoning navalny or any of putin's critics. back to you. >> richard, thank you. it is 8:06 time for a morning boost. >> teachers are doing all kinds of creative things to help their students tune in during remote learning when this teacher heard a familiar song coming from the classroom next door, she had to investigate. she found her colleague in a shark costume dancing through a second grade virtual lesson. hanna posted that thing on tiktok and in just a few days, 20 million views the teacher said it felt a little weird doing a dance to an empty classroom, but students were laughing behind their computer screens, made it worth it. >> that just says it all she is putting it all on the

we're going to talk to frost's son, cnbc wilfred frost in just a moment how the new footage was found and the new podcast it's a part of. >> when the president does it, that means it is not illegal. >> this morning, never-before-seen footage, pulling back the curtain behind legendry journalist david frost, interviews with president nixon in 1977. >> check, check. everything looking the same? >> the same as yesterday and the day before. >> isn't that the shame? i wish we could improve our appearance >> i never believed in looking at videos of myself because i knew that you would be -- you become self-conscience. >> this candid moment unearthed as part of the podcast, hosted by david frost's son, wilfred. >> six years ago, when frost passed away at 74, wilfred set

out to rediscover his father's work when he learned cbs had lost years worth of the david frost show, wilfred and his team found a stockpile in an unlikely place, richard nixon's presidential library. >> do you feel that you ever obstructed justice or were part of a conspiracy to obstruct justice? >> in a twist of fate, nixon, whose legacy was altered by frost, actually preserved the journalist's work, his of shows and interviews from the white house. >> senator kennedy >> the new podcast explores a treasure trove of david frost interviews that were lost for half a century, including this powerful moment of ka receipt coretta scott king describing her last gift from martin luther king jr. >> the last thing he gave me was artificial flowers he said, yes, i wanted to give you something that you could

keep, and of course at that moment it didn't occur to me just why, except that it was so unusual because he always gave me fresh flowers and after his death, you know, the story, all of this came back to me. >> and joining us now is wilfred frost, host of the frost tapes it's good to see you gosh, take me back to that moment when you found out those tapes weren't lost after all, and they were in no other place than the nixon library >> unbelievable moment so i got back the rights of the david frost show in late 2015 from cbs there were 750 episodes, but about 350 of them were missing, and my brilliant archive partner, david peck, discovered them about a year and a half later, as you said, in the nixon library of all places. i actually was confused initially. i thought he meant that we had discovered more of the frost-nixon interviews as opposed to all these interviews

dad did with people, often nixon opponents, during the nixon areas that he was obviously monitoring your dad interviewed people, bobby kennedy, george wallace, ronald reagan. i guess he had a penchant for recording tapes. >> your dad interviewed so many people he was 29 years old and it just struck me how good he was at his craft. what do you think it was about his style that was so captivating? >>. >> the age part of it is amazing. i knew he was one of the best, of course, when i was alive and he was in his 60s and 70s. to see him that good in his 20 as as well is unbelievable i think if there's one thing overarching all of this, a genuine fascination in people, and finding out what makes them tick and exploring their personal philosophy and i don't think you can fake that. and i think it comes across subconsciously or consciously, i don't know, to his guests, that

he was just genuinely interested in them. dad was an interesting man to talk to, but he was interested in people, above all else. >> and here you are following in his footsteps, you're our colleague at cnbc. those are big shoes to fill. when you look back at these interviews, the new ones or ones that you've seen over the years, do you ever think to yourself i want to do it like my dad would have done it, or do you kind of chart your own path? >> well, i think as you guys know better than i do, we're not actors, we're presenters you've got to be yourself. and above all else, i'm wilfred frost, not david frost's son but listen, dad died before i pivoted to doing tv, and it's a regret i have that i never specifically got to sit down with him and say, you know, what should be the follow-up question, what are you thinking at the moment. because i sort of thought i had all the time in the world with dad, as a son always does, and then he died suddenly. so this experience, this process has been very rewarding in that sense to kind of learn some more

tricks of the trade from the man who i think, of course, i'm bias, was the greatest. >> wilfred, we loved being with you at the royal wedding. >> that was a great time. >> it was. we had so much fun and of course your dad hosted this show, hosted "today" way back in the day. so we had a long history together congratulations on the podcast thank you for being with us. >> my pleasure thank you for having me. >> you can hear the frost tape podcasts on iheart radio or wherever you get your podcasts let's turn to the weather. >> unfortunately, we're seeing more strengthening with hurricane delta, 110 miles per hour, moving west-northwest at 15 it is rapidly intensifying the last storm to intensify, it's intensified 70 miles per hour in 24 hours last one to do that was hurricane wilma in 2005. it will continue, make landfall sometime early wednesday, and then continue on, category 4 storm. then dropping to a category 3.

eventually, strengthening as a 4 out over the gulf as it makes its way toward louisiana sometime late friday night, early saturday morning, just in the european models are shifting it a little further to the west, more toward lake charles, unfortunately, again so we're going to have to wait and see. the impacts of this thing still are being worked out, but we are looking at rainfall of anywhere from 5 to 10 inches of rain through friday and that may be on the low side. >> good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. let's take a live look outside in the south bay where we're seeing some improved air quality, but it will still be at times smoky in parts much the north bay, especially nearby the glass fire. we're also seen some of that smoke moving into parts of the east bay and coastal areas as well as the bay have been clearing up. but we're looking at a wide range in temperatures with some low 60s for half moon bay. 76 in oakland and 92 in antioch.

savannah. >> all right, al. and carson is back. >> morning, guys good to see you all. you know lin-manuel miranda became a household name thanks to hamilton. but a new documentary that is airing tonight focuses not only on miranda, but his dad. >> the show is called "siempre luis." it shines a spotlight on a man who came from puerto rico at the age of 18. made a name for himself while fighting for causes close to his heartst this guy is a force.and i got a chance to chat with both luis and lin-manuel about the film and their father-son dynamic. >> how are you how is your mental health? >> how is my mental health it's soft. >> that's good. >> things are proceeding at pace for the greatest challenge of your career? >> lin-manuel, i have to say,

you've come to the "today" show countless times and every time you come, i see your dad in the background now i come to find out you've been keeping a secret from all of us. the star has been standing there backstage forever. >> the whole time. >> how did it feel to be front and center, the main attraction? >> not comfortable at all. i am comfortable promoting a cause and my son is much more difficult to spend hours as i have talking about me. >> i've got to say, the shoe on the other foot is so comfortable. >> i will tell you what has helped me go through this period, i tell myself, remember, they're telling your story, but it's the story of every migrant, every immigrant who comes to this country who has to work hard

then i come down and i do my part. >> throughout, we're hearing about the heart attack and everyone is monitoring your heart is how is he doing, and i'm watching your life, luis, she's like, please slow down she's practically begging you to sleep. but you don't stop >> right, because i'm fine i am the healthiest in my home i eat well, i do exercise every day, i take my pills i don't need a lot of sleep. i say all the time, don't blame me that you have to sleep seven hours when i don't >> lin, this is where you step in and wag your finger >> yeah, sleep helps a lot i think he needs it. but it helps his mood and it helps the rest of our lives to be easier. when he comes in, lin-manuel, we have to talk about, i start good morning, how are you

i already said good morning yesterday. >> i want to say good morning from now on on january 1st for the rest of the year >> i did not realize this, lin i did not know that alexander hamilton, by the way, you were channelling your dad the whole time you were on the stage ♪ first time i'm thinking past tomorrow ♪ >> what traits do those two share? >> i think it's a certain relentlessness you see it in the documentary, but he doesn't even have patience for sleep so when i was reading chernow's biography of hamilton, i recognized that was a trait not far from my family tree for my performance as hamilton. >> so luis, when watching this, yoyou realizeded that tryiying brining hamiltonon to puertoto o raise money was anan incrediblb feat there was one scene that struck me, and lin-manuel was on stage and he was talking about the project to a bunch of cheering

people and, suddenly, up on stage comes some protesters. and i heard you, luis, say let them be. why? >> because that could have been me when i was their age, jumping on some stage to make the case for puerto rico or for an issue, and i said to myself, let them tell their story, because their story is as important as the story that lin-manuel is telling about raising money for puerto rico >> you make a beautiful speech where your people are saying, why don't you slow down, and you say something like i'm going to rest forever in eternity you're asking do you know what eternity is, it's forever. >> yeah, he uses that excuse to get out of a lot of stuff he shouldn't be doing i'll never forget, we were with a family member on my wife's side of the family and my dad had his little bluetooth in his ear, and this family member said, you know, there's links that show those aren't great for your brain, there's links to

stuff. and my dad said, then i'll live a shorter but more efficient life >> do you not see where he gets it, where lin gets it? they're an incredible father-son the documentary is amazing i literally wept through parts of it. his dad lifts you up and he's like the american dream. the guy is living it. >> his zest for life is totally contagious he is no couch potato. we now know where lin gets it, too. >> yeah. we want to say thanks. "siempre luis" premieres tonight. it's worth four your time. coming up, daniel craig tells the world what he won't miss about being james bond. >> and get ready to love ina garten even more when we chat about her life in quarantine >> there's the cheese. >> and we're going to get going. tomato soup and grilled cheese does that not sound delicious? >> no mas, por favor.

john brennan knows more than a few secrets about america, its allies and its enemies he served six presidents, joining the cia under jimmy carter and working in the white house as president obama's sk t security adviser he's out with a new memoire kwaut "undaunted". he's also a nbc news national security analyst good morning it's good to see you. >> good morning. thank you for having me on. >> we'll talk about the book in a moment, but i of course have to call on your expertise as the national security expert when we look at what's happening right now with the president and the covid diagnosis and immediately someone in your line of work must think of national security concerns what strikes you about the situation that we're in right now? >> well, first of all, i hope donald trump has a full recovery, a speedy recovery.

i do believe that the american people need to have two healthy candidates in this election, so that the will of the american people can be realized i am concerned about the reported side effects of some of the medications he's been taking in terms of additional confusion, aggression, impulsiveness. the last thing we need is for donald trump to be more confused, impulsive, more aggressive but also i think there is great distraction and preoccupation within the white house right now, understandably, about donald trump's health, as well as the health of the white house staff, so their ability to respond quickly to a domestic or foreign crisis i think is questionable so therefore i think it's critically important for the person who has the security of the american people in his hands to be focused and to be able to deal with the matters of state that we expect a president of the united states to deal with. >> in your experience, does a foreign adversary, a hostile

actor, somebody who just wants to stir up a ruckus, actually look at something like this and see opportunity? we always talk about it as a theory, but does that really happen >> absolutely. i am certain that foreign intelligence services, first of all, have turned up their collection systems to high to try to get better insight into what is happening behind-the-scenes and what the true health condition of donald trump is secondly, i think that our foreign adversaries, whether it be russia or china or iran or others, will see whether or not there is the opportunity now to take advantage of this preoccupation so that will china do something, for example, in hong kong or the south china sea? will russia try to do something in belarus, a country that has experienced instability recently what happens if there's a terrorist attack overseas? will terrorist organizations try to take advantage of the distraction that is taking place right now in washington, on top of the campaign, which is a time for preoccupation of the political candidates, but also i think this health crisis is really something that i think we

have to be concerned about and all national security officials need to be clearly at the top of their game during this period of time >> director brennan, i think americans are starting to see why intelligence officials like you don't get great sleep at night, so many different worries. one of them has to be the upcoming election. we all know in 2016, and you were there in the administration, when russia interfered in our election on behalf of donald trump, that of course was the assessment of the intelligence agencies. are you concerned that russia and china, who is said to prefer joe biden, actually, could be tiac doing that again? >> well, i think in this day and age, the ability for foreign actors, even domestic actors to tht intino the digital domain, into social media, to try to mislead and to try to shape the attitudes, the sentiments, as well as the votes of the american electorate, that is a very real possibility and likelihood, because it is so easy now to put information into that environment and for

americans to believe it. so i know that the russian and chinese services are very, very sophisticated and have tremendous capability in that cyber domain and that's one of the reasons why i wrote the memoire, the extensive efforts that russia undertook in 2016 to try to get donald trump elected. >> you wrote at length about it in the book and i wonder, knowing what you know now, do you have any regrets about how you and the administration treated that threat, having knowledge of it at the time, but i know there was a lot of, according to the book, a lot of debate within the administration about how much to reveal and what steps to take >> yeah, you know, 20/20 hindsight always seems to be a bit clearer than what is happening in the heat of a crisis when i look back on it now, yes, we considered different types of options. we thought about going after russia with our own type of cyberattack or being able to

send a clear signal to moscow that the interference in the election was unacceptable and that we have capabilities of our own should we choose to use them we didn't want to get into an escalatory spiral of cyberattacks on the eve of a hotly contested election so president obama was trying to ensure that he and we understood exactly what the russians were doing, tried to deter them from doing anything that might affect the vote tally but it really is quite difficult to stop any type of actor, foreign or domestic, from engaging in this misleading information operations that they put into that cyber domain so looking back on it now, there were a series of factors, i think, that led to donald trump's election, but i certainly believe that russian interference played a very important and significant role in having him emerge victorious, at least in the electoral college. >> director john brennan, the book covers 30 years of your work for the american

government, covers a lot of different topics again, it's called "undaunted" and you can find more about it on our website, today.com/shop and if you want to read an excerpt, you can go to today.com/think. >> fascinating stuff there if you're a fan of the beatles, stick around you're going to want to hear how you're going to want to hear how sir paul mccarey describes thetn

done playing james bond. >> sometimes i'll be sat somewhere, maybe in a hotel lobby or somewhere where there's a bar, maybe, it can be literally 9:00 a.m. in the morning and a martini will be shoved in front of me. back in the day there may be a time when a 9:00 a.m. martini may have been kind of a nice thing, but they don't go down so well now i love a martini, but 9:00 a.m. is a bit tough i won't miss that. >> to quote the great justin timberlake, cry me a river martinis at 9:00 a.m. is a perk of the gig. >> bruce springsteen, as fans know we're getting a new album on october 23rd. it's called "letter to you" and it's the group's first studio album recorded live and together since '84's born in the usa. now a new documentary has been revealed all about the making of the album. here is some of the trailer. >> should we listen? >> you have to stop me before the third verse.

>> no, no. >> if anybody wonders where the stop is, watch me, i'll give you a cue. we're having fun one, two, one, two, three, four. ♪ >> do you want to watch that you want to watch that immediately, right the boss and the boys and the girls working together. >> yes >> he said this is the best music experience he's ever had in his life. >> i can't wait. >> they haven't been altogether like that -- >> since '84 recording live and together. released on apple tv plus the same day the album comes out, october 23rd next up, sir paul mccartney is opening up for a new bbc radio show commemorating what would have been john lennon's 88th birthday. he's talking to sean lennon about the first time he saw his dad, it was a chance encounter on a bus that left an impression.

>> i had seen him a couple of times and thought, wow, he's an interesting looking guy. and then i once also saw him in a queue for fish and chips, and i said, oh, that's that guy. i'm talking to myself, in my mind i thought, that's that guy off the bus. he is pretty cool looking, he's a cool guy. >> and did you know he was a musician already at that point >> i knew nothing about him except that he looked pretty cool. >> think about that for a second he looked pretty cool. this is 1958, liverpool on a bus. sir paul mccartney is 15, john lennon is 16 they played guitar before they were the beatles, they were called the silver beatles. this is the beginning of the greatest selling musical act of all time he looked pretty cool. want to be in a band >> he thought this guy is cool. >> finally, a little more music. fleetwood mac, the band's 1977 song "dreams" is having its biggest streaming week ever all

we are back with "today. we are back with food. someone once said you can never be miserable while you're eating a cookie and the genius behind that saying is one of our favorites, ina garten she has a new cookbook called "modern comfort food". we miss you and love having you in the studio. and i also know you love entertaining, is i was thinking how is ina handling this whole situation, you can't have people around the table, you and jeffrey. how are you handling it? >> jeffrey is good company, so that's a good start. after two months in lockdown, i said this isn't working. i said i need two things,

takeout food, because i can't make dinner anymore, and i need to see my friends. we set up all these places outside where we could be social distance and still see people. i got a big coffee table and sofas outside. you weren't like two chairs pushed apart you felt like it was a living room. >> i heard you saying that you and jeffrey were saying we are going to look back at this as the good old days. >> in some ways. >> at some point. >> it's awful and our worlds have gotten very small, but in some ways there are things that i really appreciate. the other night we invited some friends and we sat outside and i set a fabulous table, big fire ball, it was nice. the stars were gorgeous. and i ordered pizza and we had a wonderful time. >> you ordered pizza >> how are you guys doing? >> we're doing good. your 12th cookbook is out "modern comfort food". it's been over 20 years since your first cookbook. >> my favorite time was coming on the show for my first book.

>> oh! >> that was just magical i thought i hope it's always this fun, and you know what, it is >> how important is that panini maker, by the way? >> it's pretty great >> instead of using a saute pan, >> you don't have the average grilled cheese what do you do that's special? >> first, bakery white bread, you have to start with good bread. then i put chutney on. any kind of chutney, mango or any kind of sfiesy, and then pile it eye with cheddar, and i like aged cheddar. and then put it on the griddle. >> can i ask a dumb question do you put butter on the outside of the bread >> on the outside, exactly. >> because i try to do that but then sometimes it gets a little burnt. >> i belt it first and i brush it in, so it's even.

>> the grilled cheese is obviously classic comfort food what are some examples when people buy the book of modern comfort foot what defines modern comfort food >> it can be anything. it can be something that's a little different like chutney on a grilled cheese sandwich or it can be something like -- i mean, the tomato soup that i make has a little saffron, so it has a little more heat there's nothing boring about this comfort food. or pasta cash nrbonara which te to be rich and i add vegetables. or a baeef stew, it's got short ribs, red wine, cognac. >> will you ladle out some of the soup how did you make that? >> i started with onions, leaks and shallots, just sauted them and canned tomatoes and some

milk and cream and saffron, and a little bit of heat little red pepper flakes >> are you a dunker? >> oh, that's a good idea. i've never been a dunker now i am. >> oh, gosh. >> yes, that's a good idea and i just put a little bit of parmesan cheese on top and a little parsley you've got the easiest -- >> that looks delicious. >> -- creamy tomato bisque. >> you cooked so much during the pandemic for you and jeffrey when you guys do decide to do takeout, what sort of cuisine do you order that you get excited comes to your door >> the same thing i make at home last night we had roast chicken and risotto, which was wonderful. i like a pizza i like simple home cooking. >> thank you we hope your appearance for your
