studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning, everybody. welcome to "today." it is 7:00 a.m. on the west coast. glad to start your week with us monday morning. hot enough for you out there? >> i bet you tons of people spent a lot of time in cold water this week. >> it's our top story once again. it is fueling devastating wildfires out west, particularly the oak fire outside yosemite national park, california's largest active fire. it exploded overnight. right now just zero percent contained. >> nearly every part of the country is touched by this oppressive weather. records broke coast to coast over the weekend including 100 degrees in boston. 105 in joplin, missouri. 103 in amarillo, texas. even mount shasta touched 98. >> we have complete coverage including relief from the heat now in sight. we'll start with nbc's jesse kirsch who is in philadelphia this morning. good morning.

>> reporter: good morning. that oak fire dangerous is at 0% containment right now. there is some good news. winds in the county are not expected to be high today which should make it easier on firefighters. however, hot, dry weather will continue to pose a challenge. this fire already burned through 17,000 acres and right now it's not far from yosemite national park. this morning as the heat wave blankets the country, dangerous fire raging in california. hot and dry conditions are feeding the flames of the fast moving oak fire which is quickly spreading. >> the fire has gained exceptional acreage. >> it is forcing thousands to evacuate from their homes in mariposa county. >> this worries people. you can look and see all the people, you know what i mean? i know they want to be home. >> reporter: and overnight, firefighters battling the

rapidly blaze outside yosemite national park after weeks after a fire threatened the sequoia trees. california's governor declaring a state of emergency over the oak fire and fema is joining the efforts to stop the flames. it comes as a brutal heat wave still has millions of americans searching for relief. >> trying to chill in the heat. it's kind of hard. >> reporter: over the week sweltering temperatures reaching record highs across the northeast. newark, new jersey, breaking triple digits for five days in a row. this weeks long heat wave disruptive and deadly claiming at least five lives so far, including a 22-year-old hiker in south dakota, who officials say died from suspected dehydration and exposure. in boston the mayor extending the nearly weeklong heat emergency through today. the city's annual triathlon postponed. al gore kag calling it a global emergency. >> if we got the true netzero, the temperatures on earth would

stop going up with a lag time of as little as three to five years. >> reporter: headaches from this heat wave have included amtrak slowdowns and in philadelphia we saw a public pool having to limit capacity. now the pacific northwest gets a taste and in parts of washington state today, we could see temperatures hitting 115 degrees. the savannah? >> jesse, thank you. >> let's check out the forecast here. there is a rumor there is relief in sight. good morning. >> good morning, ladies. >> it's not just a rumor. some areas are getting relief today across parts of the northern plains. but in the meantime, 49 million impacted by the heat the southern plains and pacific northwest is going to get a heat wave in the northeast, of course, right around here we're still going to see 90-degree temperatures today there's a cold front coming bringing relief to cincinnati today with the mid-80s st. louis around 81. but it's still really hot south of the front from raleigh to

atlanta and, yes, d.c. with a heat index of 105 today. so it's still pretty hot but there's going to be 80s in new york city tomorrow we're thankful for that here 70s up in portland and 80s from pittsburgh to st. louis. still hot, though, down towards charlotte. the heat index at 101 degrees and nashville at 102 these are the late week high temperatures across the region for wednesday to friday. so chicago is better in the 70s. columbus, ohio, around 80. better in d.c. and new york city 80s instead of 90s still in the 90s down around raleigh and nashville, also. that's typical summer weather there. it is still hot across some of the southern states. it looks like there's a cold front that's coming that will bring that relief. however, along with that the chance for severe thunderstorms. we had a few yesterday in parts of the northeast already getting storms around albany and down to state college and back towards pittsburgh. that's moving towards new york city and d.c. and parts of the northeast for later today.

on the back side of that is when it gets a whole lot better savannah >> leave it to janice huff to bring good news. thank you, janice. this morning there are new developments in the january 6th investigation. committee vice chair liz cheney saying the committee will consider a potential subpoena for ginni thomas, the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas senior washington correspondent hallie jackson joins us. hallie, how likely we'll see ginni thomas testify >> reporter: probably likelier than a couple months ago but not a done deal yet. as for the question what do they want to see? they want to talk with her about the messages between ginni thomas and former chief of staff mark meadows in which she questioned the results of 2020 they wantot al tk about communications between her and john eastman, who was widely considered the architect of this plot to steal the election remember, thomas has acknowledged being at at least some of the january 6th rally on that day here is how congresswoman liz cheney, the vice chair of this january 6th committee, described

this push to try to talk to thomas watch. >> the committee is engaged with her counsel. we certainly hope that she will agree to come in voluntarily, but the committee is fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena if she does not >> reporter: let's be clear here fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena certainly doesn't mean they're ready to issue a subpoena, but it is a significant acknowledgement from one of the key members of the committee here thomas has said last month she couldn't wait to clear up misconceptions, but her attorney has pushed back against the committee saying it needs a better justification to talk with her we should note thomas has said she and her husband, obviously supreme court justice clarence thomas, don't talk about work. they keep those two things separate this is certainly an avenue to watch, savannah.

>> fully prepared to contemplate a subpoena is washington wiggle words for sure we'll see how it all developments they were supposed to end this summer last week was supposed to be the final. now the committee has indicated they're going to have more hearings what more are they looking for >> reporter: they're hearing from a lot more witnesses. they're planning to issue or may issue other subpoenas. you heard about possibly -- possibly -- one of them. we heard from congresswoman cheney they expect to talk with former members of donald trump's cabinet. right? that is pretty high level. former members of his campaign staff, for example, members of the secret service that's another avenue of exploration given those since deleted text messages that have been at the center of a lot of the questioning here what we've heard from members of the committee is a lot of witnesses have come forward, many of them sparked by the testimony that was a surprise from cassidy hutchinson that we heard a couple weeks ago, savannah >> hallie jackson in washington, thanks president biden is continuing to improve after testing positive for covid on thursday kristen welker joins us now with the very latest. hey, kristen good morning

>> reporter: hi, hoda. good morning to you. white house officials tell me they are encouraged by the president's progress with his have improved significantly. now they didn't release any new photos of him over the weekend, but officials here say that he's working. he has more energy and it comes as we are learning he likely has the highly contagious ba.5 subvariant president biden is starting the week in isolation, five house ns that, like so many americans, the president has the ba.5 subvariant that accounts for nearly 80% of all new infections in the u.s., though the president is vaccinated and double boosted, even he has been unable to escape the new highly contagious strain. on sunday the white house doctor writing in a letter the president's symptoms continue to improve significantly noting, quote, his predominant symptom now is sore throat this is most likely a result of lymphoid activation and is encouraging. according to the doctor the president's cough, runny nose and body aches have diminished

considerably his lungs are clear though his voice remains deep that was on display when the white house released a video of mr. biden working last friday. >> let me start by apologizing, my voice i feel much better than i sound. >> reporter: as for treatment the white house doctor saying the president completed his third full dose of the antiviral paxlovid sunday and is taking tylenol. he's also using an inhaler for an occasional cough. the white house's top medical adviser dr. anthony fauci saying that's not a cause for concern >> he has a history of asthma and he use it to breathe well. he has no trouble breathing at all right now. that's something he does regularly when he gets an upper respiratory infection. >> reporter: the white house has

aimed to down play concerns about the 79-year-old president's covid diagnosis releasing photos of him working, although they did not release any new ones over the weekend. now the white house has identified 17 close contacts to the president including the vice president and first lady their spokespeople telling me both tested negative on sunday now the white house has vowed transparency as the president continues to isolate here. hoda >> kristen welker for us at the white house, thank you we move now to the war in ukraine. the u.s. government is now confirming two americans were killed near the front lines. and russia is facing new outrage this morning after striking the port city of odesa over the weekend, less than 24 hours after signing a deal to allow vital grain exports to resume. nbc's morgan chesky, what are they telling you >> reporter: the prime minister not mincing any words, no agreement, no deal with russia means anything

the strike here on odesa now fueling real fears that the millions of tons of grain that should be going to nations that need it desperately will sit right here in port and rot all this as the war drags on, leaving two american families facing heartbreaking loss. this morning fiery aftermath in the port city of odesa from a russian missile strike one day after the country signed a u.n. agreement promising safe passage for ships carrying vital grain, about 20 million tons, sitting in port right now. the act russia claimed targeted a warship condemned worldwide and raised new concerns ukraine's biggest export may go to waste deputy prime minister calling russia a terrorist state stressing their actions will cause famine, and yet they do it anyway 100 million tons of grain that could be shipped all over the world or, if russia doesn't cooperate, will rot.

>> translator: so they steal our grain, they destroy it and burn our fields countries like egypt and lebanon are waiting for our grain so russia consciously plunges the world into famine. >> reporter: to the east ukrainian leadership says new rocket launchers from the u.s. called himars are making a difference, but the death toll only rises and not just in russia and ukraine. >> he didn't go there to be a hero he went there because he wanted to help people >> reporter: kathy and george lucyszy now mourning their son luke, a 31-year-old father and one of two americans confirmed killed in the donbas region. >> i think every time i talk to him, i told him, why don't you just come home >> reporter: the parents believe luke, working as a medic, was knocked unconscious by an artillery blast. as other foreign fighters rush to help a russian tank opened

fire >> he said he couldn't leave until the rest of his friends, the rest of the battalion, left with him >> reporter: a family far from the frontline finding war has no bounds and back here in odesa, ukraine, officials say they plan to resume the export of grain as quickly as possible. but one of the top concerns, what lies beneath the waters of the black sea. the ukrainian and russian militaries have laid naval mines, one of which killed a man in front of his family just last month, and he was swimming barely 20 yards offshore savannah >> all right, morgan, thank you very much. also this morning, concern is growing over the spread of monkeypox. with cases rising across dozens of countries including right here in the united states, the world health organization has declared a global health emergency. but unlike the start of covid, a vaccine already exists nbc's blayne alexander has more. good morning >> rep to you this is the highest alert the worganization can

children, one in california and a second in washington, d.c. experts say a rare but concerning development >> this virus is now getting into family circumstances. it can spread to women and in close family contacts where there's a lot of hugging and kissing. >> reporter: across the country the numbers are steadily rising. less than two weeks ago the cdc listed just over 1,400 confirmed cases nationwide five states. the nation's epicenter, new york, where nearly 900 people have been infected jeffrey galaise is one of them >> my pain level is excruciating >> reporter: he's part of a clinical trial taking antiviral medication for the pain. he has getting treatment has been nearly impossible

>> if we don't get ahead of it now, it will be too late >> reporter: so far vaccines have been in low supply with people waiting in long lines hoping to get the shot something the biden administration is promising to address. >> we're going to be releasing hundreds of thousands more vaccines in the next days and weeks. >> reporter: now dr. jha says the plan in the u.s. is to eliminate the virus altogether, something that he says is possible with vaccines and it's important to note officials say only those in the vulnerable population need to make it a priority to get that vaccine. hoda >> blayne alexander for us in atlanta. that half hour scary moments at a beach in southern california over the weekend. a small plane towing a banner crashed into the ocean take a look. >> it's going into the water it's going into the water. it's going into the water, guys! oh dude >> it happened during a lifeguarding competition in huntington beach luckily no one was in the water when the plane went down lifeguards were able to pull the pilot to safety.

>> nbc's kathy park is there at rockaway beach in queens. good morning. >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. that's right. well, the good news here the beach is back open for swimming but comes with the warning, encouraging people to only get out in the waters between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and when a lifeguard is present. that's because of recent shark sightings in the area. experts say, look, sharks just aren't that into us. they are nearing the shore because it appears conservation efforts are working.ly two doze sightings off cape cod, some st. in alabama and south carolina a pair of sharks seen swimming just feet from the beach. and in california surfers getting uncomfortably close to what appears to be a large shark. >> it's massive. oh, my god. >> reporter: this following a rash of shark attacks of new york's long island. at least six people bitten in

the last three weeks alone. >> we were joking about sharks actually, and then it got me. >> reporter: 16-year-old max haynes was surfing off fire island with a friend when he was attacked. jaws clamping down on his foot leaving a nasty gash. >> i felt on my foot like a bear trap just get me from below and hard. it felt like it broke my foot. >> reporter: experts say the long island shark attacks may be explained by a nursery of sand tiger sharks just off the coast and a large school of bait fish they feed on. >> the sharks mistake the people for the food that they're after. >> reporter: new york's governor now ramping up the use of drones for shark surveillance. >> if we have a sighting or potential sighting, we're able to pop that drone up in a matter of minutes and then make a decision on whether or not we feel it's safe enough to open up the water. >> reporter: while sightings can be scary experts say in most encounters sharks often ignore us. >> we have footage of juvenile

white sharks up to 8 or 9 feet long swimming right underneath surfers who never knew they were there. >> reporter: many communities not taking any chances launching extra measures to make sure it's safe to go in the water. and it's not just sharks shaking things up off the coast this summer. in plymouth, massachusetts, this weekend a humpback whale caught on camera breaching the water and landing on a boat. authorities reporting there were, thankfully, no injuries. >> oh, wow. that video. so, kathy, you mentioned sometimes sharks mistake swimmers for prey. so how do we avoid that? >> reporter: yeah. so that's a great question, hoda. if you do plan on going out into the water try not to splash around too much because that could actually attract a shark thinking you are wounded prey and also if you're wearing a lot of jewelry, do not go into the water with all that jewelry

because the light might reflect off of that bling and be mistaken for fish scales. the last tip i can pass along, and it's probably an obvious one, try not to go into the water with an open wound, probably not a good idea. now experts say that typically sharks are not attracted to human blood and, once again, we want to underscore that shark attacks are extremely rare and humans, we're just not on their menu. hoda? >> okay, i'll remember all those things. float, don't flounder around, no jewelry. >> and don't be chum. don't make yourself shark chum by going in with a gaping wound. still ahead, inside the emotional trailer for the first "black panther" movie since the loss of chad boseman. a woman on a mission, she is going to find inflation-proof products. what are those? >> reporter: is there such a thing as inflation proof? on the hunt for the items that stayed relatively the same

go for the handful! back now, 7:40, with today's "consumer confidential." we're trying to focus on issues that impact your bottom line >> thanks to decades high inflation it feels like literally everything costs more these days but believe it or not there are deals out there. >> and you know who has been hunting for them, nbc senior consumer investigative correspondent vicky nguyen hi, vicky, good morning. i had to get out my binoculars for these ones. as we see rising prices, is there such a thing as inflation proof? we went on the hunt to find the items that have actually held their pricing. so here are some options to help your wallet. from groceries and gas to housing and medical care, ballooning prices have many americans feeling the pressure and yet some items have managed to escape the rising prices like this classic costco hot dog.

it's still $1.50 and comes with a soda since its debut in 1985, costco has never raised the price of this classic combo and recently the club ceo telling cnbc it won't. >> is there any inflationary environment where you would raise that price >> no. >> reporter: costco views the popular mainstay as a loss leader, a product sold below market cost to attract customers. you can find these at other club stores but another example at costco, its rotisserie chicken holding steady at $4.99 despite a nearly 16% annual increase in chicken prices but costco has hiked prices elsewhere. they have raised the price on the soda by 10 cents and on the chicken bake by $1 even costco is not immune to inflation.

>> no, costco is trying ed to pick the areas where it can feel like you can pass along certain price increases. the standalone soda and the chicken bake are probably places consumers may not be as outraged >> while the average american family spends around $465 on groceries each month this can help alleviate some of the sticker shock. tomatoes, potatoes, cheese and just in time for summer, ice cream. all relatively unaffected by inflation according to the u.s. bureau of labor. no need to adjust your television set you might just want to buy a new one instead. in the past year tv prices have dropped almost 13% meaning you could find a deal now without having to wait until the holidays or the beginning of the year smart phones also experiencing some dial down prices, a 20% decline from 2021. and don't miss the call to save on jewelry, eyeglasses and personal care items like cosmetics. prices remain stable but for those items not immune to inflation -- prices keep going up >> build up a certain cash

in our experts on tips staying safe and cool. >> vicky is back let's start with contributor dr. natalie azar telling us how to keep safe in this heat there's heat exhaustion and heat stroke i actually thought they were the same thing but there's a heat stroke, i think some people call it a sun stroke, which you can do of it's like a continuum of heat-related illness. heat exhaustion if you don't treat it, you don't recognize it, can progress to heat stroke which is a medical emergency. >> what are the symptoms of heat exhaustion >> let's go through them the biggest difference is that with heat exhaustion you are sweating a lot that is your body's natural mechanism to cool off. you will see that.

your skin is going to feel kind of cold and clammy you may feel muscle cramp, headache, dizzy, feeling weak. the important thing is you are still mentating normally >> what does that mean >> you are not confused. your level of alertness is normal >> sorry, i was not mentating that word. >> what you were not doing >> did you all know mentating? me either. i'm excited i learned a new word >> with heat exhaustion you want to hydrate somebody, find a shade, go to the air conditioner, start taking off clothing if you can, use an ice pack this is super important, under the neck, under the armpits and also in the groin, a great place to cool yourself down you can get into a cool bath or a pool. >> and heat stroke, what are the differenre mentating comes in >> you have an internal temperature of like 103 or more. but a lot of us don't have a digital thermometer around so the big one if you notice somebody is feeling confused, not mentating normally, and this is the big one as opposed to heat exhaustion when you're sweating, you're not sweating. your skin is red, hot and dry. >> and call 911.

>> the number one thing to do. and then start doing the same things that you did for heat exhaustion >> thank you for the vocab lesson tom? >> so many great tips. vicky, so many parts of the country don't even have ac i can't imagine that right now what do you do >> you need to take an ac break. this is the time to take advantage of the free ac that's out there. go to a local bookstore, the library. that's a great place you can spend hours reading a book, chilling out, or run your errands, go to the grocery store, the big box stores. the other thing is make sure you keep your drapes, curtains, blinds closed. that will keep your house cooler >> what if you have a window unit that's not really cranking out the ac >> you want to consider the filter does it need to be cleaned or does it need to be completely changed out? that will make it more efficient. the other thing is try to take

that unit and put it in a smaller room so it doesn't have to work so hard, is more efficient, keeps you cooler. pair it with a fan or a dehumidifier and also seal the windows. if you have any hot air coming into your house that's making your appliances work so much harder >> those little fans go a long way. what if you have central air and you're leaving the house, do you keep it on if you're going on vacation >> we close the vents in the rooms we're not using the air conditioning upstairs when you're not using them for the bedrooms. open those back up a couple hours before you go to sleep to cool everything down and then, there's a mixed bag. do you want to save your money and turn your air conditioning completely off when you leave the house or just turn it to 85 degrees? the pros and cons are if you turn it off your house could get to 95 to 100 degrees and could take hours to cool it back down. you'll save money but it's not the best way >> when if you're mentating? >> drink cold water. >> that's what i'm doing, baby i'm doing it right now let's talk sleep ideal temperature for sleeping. >> it's cooler than you think. it's 65 to 68 degrees. most of us need air conditioner

but there are some things you can do >> if you don't have ac, what is the best way to sleep? >> the best way to sleep is get yourself a fan, and you want to put that fan blowing on you. >> point it right at you >> you transition to sleep on a temperature drop and maintain sleep in the cool environment. focus the fan on to you dissipate heat or put it out a window >> you have something that says seek lowest level. i didn't even know what that meant. >> seek the lowest level that's where you sleep get down to a basement bedroom because heat rises >> this one surprised me you say hydration is critical for sleep and vice versa >> correct they're interrelated so sleep helps control the hydration. so if you don't get adequate sleep you can't maintain adequate hydration critical in the summertime and when you don't hydrate, it disrupts the restorative or deep

stages of sleep. so very critical you get hydrated >> that means you should drink a lot of water before you go to sleep? >> that would be very bad because you would go to the bathroom all night long. three hours before bedtime make sure you've drank water all day long >> savannah loves this one naked is best. >> no, i'm not you know that i hate it. >> it will be chilly but naked is best. this is the only time i'm going to tell you make it light at night. you want to sleep in a dark room but the bed clothing and the pajamas light and air yea so you have the air movement and a little bit of something so in the middle of the night if you are chilly you have something to keep you comfortable you can take it off. >> you don't need to be embarrassed, savannah. it's really okay dr. ash, thank you so much thanks, everybody. natalie and vicky, too

speaking of the heat, janice, how are we looking >> naked is best except when you're doing the weather >> no! let's talk about our temperatures we're going to focus on the areas that will be hottest today. the northeast is going to cool down a bit we are going to see the heat index above 100. you'll be close to that in columbia it will feel like 99 100 degrees in mobile and tampa will feel like 103 dallas, 104 today. plenty of heat to go around the country for sure now in the west, too, you're going to start your heat wave with readings above 100 in places like medford and fresno record heat will start this week and will continue for most of the week in the pacific northwest, 90s wednesday. thursday in seattle. 90s to 100 in portland medford, and spokane in the triple digits. for the rest of this week. intense heat coming up meanwhile, it's raining too much in the southwest, but that's th raining too much in the southwest and that's a track of
