pena's campaign for comment but so far no response. savannah? >> all right. thank you so much. elsewhere in washington with a special counsel appointed, republicans are demanding more answers from president biden over his handling of classified material. the white house has acknowledged over the weekend that additional documents were found at his home in delaware late last week. nbc's chief white house correspondent kristen welker has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the calls for answers and information growing louder this morning with republicans demanding to see the visitor logs from president biden's delaware home. one of two locations where classified documents were found. the political fallout growing, too, with key questions, including why it took the white house months to reveal the recovered records. this morning, president biden is facing growing calls for transparency from republicans and even some democrats amid the special counsel's investigation

into his handling of classified documents after he left the obama administration. the president ignored questions about the inquiry monday, but pressure is mounting after this weekend the white house counsel's office said additional pages of classified documents were discovered inside the president's delaware home. in response, the chairman of the house oversight committee asked the white house for visitor logs of his residence, citing national security concerns. but the white house and the secret service say they do not maintain visitor logs for the president's home because it's a private residence. a spokesman for the white house counsel's office saying in a statement, like every president across decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal. a secret service spokesperson saying the agency does perform background checks on visitors who come into contact with the bidens at their delaware homes but those documents are only kept for a limited time. but republicans still demanding

more answers. >> the security cameras, remember the fbi when they raided mar-a-lago, did they do the same with joe biden? and you know he has surveillance cameras there. >> more of the data, the information, are these are the documents? are there more out there? >> reporter: it comes after about a dozen initially discovered at mr. biden's private office, including at least one document marked top secret, according to sources familiar with the matter. that followed by two batches discovered in delaware including inside his garage. what's not yet clear, the total number of classified records recovered. now three sources familiar with the matter tell nbc news president biden is frustrated with the backlash and with his administration's response, which has left key questions unanswered. the attorney general just appointed a special counsel to look into this matter. the white house saying it's fully cooperating. of course, a special counsel has been appointed to look into former president trump's handling of classified

documents. his mar-a-lago estate was searched late last year and more than 100 classified documents recovered there after he refused a request to turn over the materials if the national archives. according to multiple reports, the justice department is looking to interview people who searched mr. trump's properties. savannah? >> kristen welker at the white house, thank you. 7:13. craig joins us. >> good morning to you. we are learning some new details this morning about that tragic plane crash in nepal over the weekend. 72 people onboard. it is that country's deadliest airplane accident in three decades. molly hunter joins us with a look at where the investigation stands. good morning to you. >> craig, good morning to you. the investigation is moving forward. nepalese authorities say the black boxes will be sent to france for investigation. the aircraft was french made. of course, listening to the final conversations between pilot and co-pilot will be crucial to understanding what went wrong in those final

seconds. >> reporter: this morning, the grim work of returning the bodies of victims to their families is beginning. yeti airlines 691 crashed in the himalayas with 72 people onboard. authorities say there are no survivors. according to the aviation authorities, french investigators will be on site today. the twin engine turbo prop aircraft is french made. authorities add the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder recovered intact will be sent to france for investigation. sunday's flight was supposed to be a routine trip. just 27 minutes from the capital kathmandu to the popular tourist destination of pokhara. this facebook live stream showing the plane coming in to land and all appears normal. then captured in the final seconds from a rooftop the plane can be seen banking hard to the left, then rolling 90 degrees, then flying out of the shot before crashing. aviation experts point to the

possibility of an aerodynamic stall when a plane suddenly flies too slowly and loses lift. >> they are going to have to determine why that airplane was flying so slow and also to see if they had the airplane properly configured. >> reporter: nepal's aviation safety record is spotty. >> this is a risky place to fly. >> it takes a flight crew special training to be able to fly into these airports because you are maneuvering very steeply to align yourself with runways because of the terrain. >> reporter: yeti airlines tells nbc news the co-pilot was a veteran to the route. a tragic family story. he joined yeti airlines in 2010 after her husband, also a pilot, died in a plane crash in 2006. a yeti spokesperson says she got her pilot's training with the money she received from insurance after her husband's death. now, this new international airport just opened up a few weeks ago close to the old

international airport. we are learning this morning that apparently the pilot asked for a change in runway minutes before landing. investigators will certainly be looking at that, too. craig? >> such a tragic story. molly hunter, thank you. got a lot more to get to, including the nfl playoffs. the next round set after the dallas cowboys crushed tampa bay last night. an outcome that's fueling a lot of speculation about the future of the bucs star quarterback tom brady. morgan chesky has got more on that. hey, morgan. >> reporter: hey, hoda, good morning. we have seen it time and time again but last nigh a fourth quarter comeback wasn't in the cards for tom brady who seemed to be a mere mortal playing against a ferocious cowboys defense and a testament to who number 12 is in the league. everybody saying how about them cowboys, so many asking what comes next? this morning unfamiliar territory for quarterback tom brady.

the tampa bay buccaneers wild card loss last night against dallas cutting his playoff run short and marking the end of a tumultuous season for number 12. dallas easily defeating the bucs 31-14 with dak prescott throwing for four touchdowns and running for a fifth. >> misses again! >> reporter: although the cowboys kicker missed a record four extra point attempts, generating this reaction from peyton and eli manning. >> oh, my god. you have got to be kidding me. >> i never seen anything like it. >> reporter: monday matchup, the only time brady's been unable to put up points in the first half of a playoff game in 12 years. >> throws it. intercepted! >> reporter: the veteran qb throwing his first red zone interception as a buccaneer. and monday's defeat giving the nfl's oldest active player his first-ever career loss to the cowboys. >> i will go home and get a good night's sleep. it will be one day at a time.

>> we don't know what the future is for tom brady. >> reporter: after retiring last february, the seven-time super bowl champ calling an audible weeks later, returning for his 23rd season. >> make no mistake. it was a very, very tough year on and off the field for tom brady. >> reporter: in august, brady made headlines after leaving training camp for more than a week. >> i'm 45 years old, man. there is a lot of [ bleep ] going on. you've got to figure out life the best you can. >> reporter: in october, brady and super model gisele bundchen finalized their divorce after 13 years of marriage. all of it happening while the bucs tried to find their rhythm on the field. >> we struggled pretty much at everything. >> reporter: despite making the playoffs, tampa bay finished with a losing record. the first of brady's career. and now with his 2023 plans a mystery number 12's next move is up in the air. and if this was indeed the last time we see number 12 on a football field, he doesn't have a bad option.

fox sports reportedly offering him a deal of about $300 million to join their team as a sports analyst. but brady saying he is going to take his time and consider all his options. there are other nfl teams who could be potential suitors, one being the san francisco 49ers. don't forget. tom brady grew up on the west coast. his three kids still live on the east coast. a lot of things to consider here guys. >> all right. morgan chesky, thank you. >> what do you think? >> when he was leaving the field i thought he tipped his hat, kissed his mom and dad waiting right there and his speech at the end seemed a little like a bow on it. you never know. >> he may not want to end like that. >> you never know. >> i agree. >> we shall see. all right. the only one who knows the future is al with the forecast. >> tom brady is coming to do weather. there you go. there is that. i am kidding, dylan. really. look for showers in the mid-atlantic states.

prioritize, make it the priority in your life right now most of us don't seven to nine hours. what you want to aim in there. some are seven hour sleepers some eight to nine stick to a routine we are creatures of comfort. continuity stick to that routine. my routine is before i go to bed, brush my teeth, floss my teeth, put my pajamas on, the same - >> get ready, yeah. >> get ready if you are in bed, and you can't sleep, this is a big thing for a lot of people, if you toss and turn for more than 15 minutes get up and get out of bed. >> i am afraid to do it. i toss and turn and think about that advice. >> your body says i am in bed, it's time to toss and turn. >> don't you get too worked up and excited if you roam the halls. >> don't turn the lights on. walk around, get a glass of water, og to the bathroom, go back to bed. it tells your body - >> i got to try it you talk about the electronics

that's a thing we can really do to improve our life. not so much screen time? >> right electronics before bed, get rid of those that mental health break, cutting down electronics it is a lot harder than people think. we are addicted to our cellphones putting it down, it can improve your sleep, increase your focus and productivity it reduces symptoms of depression we have all been on there for, one, way too many times, way too often, and we see things we are not involved in and think we are missing out and it encourages those real life social interactions and those are important. texting people is great. being next to them is more important. >> one of the things jenna talks about is reading more. that is something we should be doing more of? >> it is picking up a book and reading it is refreshing, enlightening. turn off the tv. grab the book. 30 minutes of reading. we can set aside 30 minutes.im >> what it's on a kindle >> that's fine you are reading. what it does is it gets the brain connections going, reduces chances of cognitive decline later on instead of watching tv and telling you what you think, here you have to think about the scenes, the scenario, it's

great. >> you say eat more of a plant-based diet this is more than just get more fruits and veggies >> fruits, veggies, nuts, legumes, all those things. your mom was right eat those things she talked about. we look at a plate, put portions in there most put the meats first or things that aren't as good first. put the fruits and veggies and nuts and legumes first those will occupy the plate so you don't have room for the things that aren't as good reduce cholesterol, reduce blood pressure. >> a lot of us are walking around dehydrated. we don't drink enough water. >> in the e.r. we joke around a little bit, everybody feels better after a liter of iv fluids the reason is because we are all slightly dehydrated. water goes into every cell in our body, regardless if we don't have that it doesn't boost that energy. carry a water bottle throughout

the day. there's no magic amount. eight glasses a day came from, including the food you eat, which has water in it. everybody will be individualized drink enough >> coffee or iced tea? >> there is water in coffee, water in iced tea. they are not as dehydrating as we thought they were. >> really? >> what i took away is drink more coffee. [ laughter ] >> no. i got it i got it thank you. appreciate it. coming up next, who wouldn't like to have kristin chenoweth cheering you on when times get tough? her be pep talks her be pep talks st

let me quote mildred chenoweth my bestie, danny, he is, you know, a member of the gay community, and he was like, am i gonna go to hell i was like, i don't see how that's possible. this was in college. i went to my grandma i was laundry at her house southern baptist, she had a direct line to god i said, what's the deal? every since i was a little gir that's not what i believed she said you know what i do? i take the bible like i eat fish i take the meat that serves me well but i don't choke on a bone i use that with a lot of things. not just with that situation i take the meat that serves me well but i don't choke on a bone i think that is profound >> beautiful. >> you said that you were vulnerable in this book. i think you were you talk about going through some hard times, particularly after an accident on the set of

a show you were working on what was it like to share that can you tell us what happened and what sharing that meant to you? >> it was scary and very freeing. i haven't really written it down when you write something, you know, it makes it so it really does solidify it and i was quiet. i had skull fracture, teeth, ribs, nose. >> an accident on a set? >> yeah. and i was told it was suggested to me that i should never take action because i might not work again in the business. and out of fear and anxiety i didn't and i just want to say to anyone out there whoever struggles with anything like this, don't let fear rule your life. and by me sharing that story i hope that it encourages others to not do that. >> when did you find your voice? like, i feel like, you know, you are 100% you right now. >> yeah, yeah. >> when and how? like when did that happen? >> i was in church singing

i auditioned for the choir my mom was like this is for the adults i still wanted to try out. she must have thought, what an alien kid. i sang a song called "jesus i heard you had a big house. that song exists they cast me in a solo the church erupted, then another church, another church my dad went to radioshack and bought a microphone for me we didn't know he is an engineer. trying to help you that's how it started. but the voice, when you have a voice, it's not just here. it's here and here and so that's kind of what led me to this couch. >> as a mom, when i read what you said about your parents, how they saw that you had this talent, they recognized you wanted to pursue something unpredictable and a much harder path and harder to attain success, they held up the two pom-pons and said go for it and how can we help you do that? i feel like that's parenting

goals for me talk about not living by your fears, but believing in your child and saying, how can we help you become who you want to be >> think y'all that was a big reason why there is a difference between, you know, self-esteem and overconfidence and arrogance even they gave me that self-confidence. they said, look. you will get your degree luckily, they sacrificed for me to get my degree so i could. and then i was -- there i was. it was just this tiny little peanut that was never going to be able to speak different, you know i had this tiny body and funny voice. no reason i should ever be successful and when people told me i wasn't, my mom said the things that make you different are the things that are going to make you successful. >> preach! >> yeah, and this book, by the way, if you are in a funk or have a friend in a funk or even if you are not, if you pick this book up, i know you will feel better it's got everything you need on any -- you could open to any

page and you go, yes >> really fun. you could journal with it. it's like a devotional and a shout out to my friend here wasn't this book by hoda i know we are selling this book, okay we know. but hoda helped you, too, right? >> this was recently i just picked it up and read the whole thing. today i brought one for you to sign it. got her autograph. >> we love you so much. >> love y'all. >> love you. congratulations. >> your life, your love. she is getting married. >> thank you. >> the book is out today check it out get your copy at today.com/books. carson? here i am in the kitchen with my 1970 microphone staring at a delicious steak that chef besser thanks for us make it rain salt, elana too many veggies last week on the "today" show glad we turned a corner. you see how to make this first, this is "today" on nbc. come on down

♪ we are back with "today table" series. when it comes to busy weeknights, whipping up dinner can feel exhausting, especially if there is a long list of ingredients. elena besser is bringing it back to the simple basics five things to make this show stopping dinner. chef, good to have you >> great to be here. >> start with this beautiful piece of meat. >> i am so happy to be here. i am happy we are making steak today. this is a ribeye we are doing the reverse sear method we start in a low temperature oven, cook the steak through about 80% of the way through, and we finish it on the stovetop in a cast-iron to get that nice crust without setting our smoke alarm off. >> this is uncle al's meat selection of choice. am i wrong >> bone-in ribeye. >> bone-in ribeye. the best way to go. >> i agree i told elana i started doing the reverse sear because the other way, you serve it kind of cold to guests. reverse sear puts the heat on the end.

>> absolutely. >> salt the meat don't be afraid. generous amount. >> generous amount. that is going to give it all of that flavor. you want to take it out of the refrigerator an hour before cooking so it comes to temp. it cooks nice and evenly we have it on top of a wire rack lined baking sheet so all of that heat can escape and continue to cook evenly. it also makes sure that that fat renders down so it's like butter you have meat you have to have potatoes that's what we are serving with it we are going to put the potatoes into a pot with cold water and we want it to be cold water so that it can come up slowly and come to a boil. >> that's the tidbit i never heard. cold water and bring it up. >> yes add a ton of salt here. >> wow, that's a lot of salt. >> we want to flavor from the outside in similar to when you make pasta so you get that really good flavor. >> all right.

>> once they are cooked drain them, take a mason jar, smash that down. for me when i'm eating a potato i want a crispy crunch on the outside. this gives us the surface area >> we have a minute and a half i am going to start eating. >> hit it with olive oil pop them into the oven until they are crispy. hit it with some pepper because these are smashed potatoes. >> will you flip them? >> yes, flip them and you are going to hit them with some more parmesan so we want to get that parmesan over the top we want it to get nice and crispy, even more pepper on top. that's going to bloom as it heats up more delicious -- >> you baked that steak and got to an internal temp of what? 110? >> 125-ish medium rare is about 130 120 to 125. >> this searing process continues to cook it a little bit? >> absolutely. add it into a super hot pan. a pat of butter.

i like to tilt the pan, take that spoon and we are butter basting this. >> who doesn't like a good butter bath? >> absolutely, it's the best it will give it more flavor, a nice sheen you only want a minute on each side you don't have to let this rest, which is better. it's nice and tender slice it. >> this is better than everything we made last week you are amazing. these ingredients, five of them, i don't know why you need to scan the code. good morning to you. it is 8:56. i'm marcus washington. the bay area is finally getting a chance to dry out, but in some neighborhoods concerns are still high about potential new landslides. a total of eight homes in the
