person that once attended that school. >> this is the year resulted in injuries or deaths, an average of one each week. we talk to the mayor of nashville. let's begin with catie beck there for news nashville. >> reporter: good morning. police say the shooter is 28 years old living as a transgender person, a former student of the school who left behind a detailed manifesto of the plan and learning this morning without the quick actions of police this tragedy might have been far worse. overnight police in nashville releasing this chilling surveillance video showing the terrifying moments the shooter blasted the way into the small school shooting through locked glass doors and the armed person entering a church office and

stalking the halls with an ar-style weapon drawn. one of three firearms investigators say the shooter had. >> we believe two of those may have been obtained legally locally here. >> reporter: police calling it targeted adding the hooter left behind detailed plans of the deadly assault. >> we have a map drawn out about how it would take place. >> reporter: police identifying the 28-year-old audrey hail who is transgender and once a student at the school. authorities say within 14 minutes they confronted and shot the shooter but before fatally shooting three children and three adults. >> there's multiple victims down inside the school. >> reporter: authorities later searching the hail home finding two shotguns and other evidence

as they investigate motive. mock the victims the school's headmaster, 61-year-old substitute teach and 61-year-old custodian. the children all nine years. the daughter of the lead pastor of the church. >> she said she was hiding in the closet and shooting all over and she loved us. >> reporter: many parents unsure the children would come home. >> so many police cars and then the ambulances started coming away from the school. >> reporter: president biden ordering flags to fly at half staff nationwide. >> we have to do more to stop gun violence. it is ripping the communities apart.

>> reporter: a group of new parents are echoing a similar question. >> how are the children still dying? why are we failing them? >> reporter: nashville police say they do not staff it with school resource officers. nashville police also tell us that the shooter had another intended location but changed plans after learning about security. we are hoping to hear more about the investigation today. >> thank you so much. joining us is mayor jon cooper. cooper, we appreciate your time. thank you so much. can you tell us what you've learned about the victims and the shooting itself? a lot of police work and video footage.

a shout out to the first responders. they were dealing with prepared shooter with lots of ammunition clearly shooting at them as they were coming in. as to motive and to the other aspects of the case i suspect today there will be a lot of reveal to it. it is in their possession and maybe that will be the next step as police department talking about the manifesto. more facts on the way today. >> you talked directly about gun and gun violence. you were saying the leading because of death for children is guns and gunfire. it is not car accidents. you called it unacceptable. what struck me at the top of the broadcast so far there's 13 shootings this year why that's one per week.

it makes you think it is acceptable on some level. >> it isn't. i think this is the frustration by every city in the country, how this could keep happening in this volume. in tennessee, guns are essentially ubiquitous. and when guns and mental health issues come into contact with each other, you have big problems like we saw yesterday on what is our worst day. nashville's had challenges before. we've had tornadoes and floods. but when school children are attacked in their school, that's your worst day. >> there was a photograph that is getting a lot of attention, and it's been circulating. it's a picture of congressman andy ogles, who happens to represent the district in which the family happened. it looks like a family christmas card. in it, the family is -- i don't know if you can see that image, but they're all holding what appear to be big assault

weapons. the very atmosphere of firearms restrains interference. they deserve a place of honor with all that is good and they're woered by the christmas tree. i wonder if you received that christmas card, and if you did, what you think of it. >> i'm not on his christmas card list, and i don't think it's appropriate. i think the whole country can look at it and shudder and see how inappropriate it is. guns lead to tragedy. whatever your political feelings are we should not be celebrating the cult of the gun. and the country needs to pick itself up and say no to an assault weapons lobby that, again, is making it too available and too convenient and too first of mind for people to go out and commit terrible acts. >> mayor, you know, we were just talking about that, what can be done. everyone keeps saying they don't

do anything in washington. after sandy hook in 2012 connecticut did something. they instituted background checks. they expanded the state's assault weapons ban and they outlawed new high capacity magazines. here's what happened as a result of that. from 2014 to 2021, connecticut saw a 41% reduction in homicides. in 2020, connecticut had the sixth lowest gun death rate among all 50 states. there are some things that can be done. it sounds like if this is an example at the state level. is that something you can see happening in tennessee? >> well, i think it would be very challenging for tennessee, but i think it needs to be brought up. and i think people need to understand that common sense reforms, which are not really onerous on gun ownership does make a big difference. and gun safety and common sense regulations to kind of separate mental health challenges away from active gun ownership seem

imperative. this is not -- i mean, we did this a few years ago. what happened is we rolled back any common sense understandings about how these assault weapons, in particular, are managed in america. and you end up with disasters and tragedy. and it's not the diminishment of people's rights. it is how we live together in a society safely. >> all right. well, nashville mayor, jon cooper, we appreciate your time. our thoughts and prayers are of course with your community. thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> now to the long road ahead for the tornado ravaged south. communities across the region beginning to pick up pieces following days of devastating storms. maggie vespa is on the ground for us in hard hit rolling fork, mississippi. maggie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

this town is decimated. on every block you see scenes like this. again, the road to recovery will be long. fema was on the ground yesterday making, kind of, that initial point of contact with people, letting them know they will have to sign up to get federal aid. at the same time, officials have opened closed to half a dozen shelters in the area, just trying to give people the help they need. to look forward and rebuild. this morning cleanup is underway in a region ravaged by days of severe storms and devastating tornadoes. >hen came up on , i was hoping for the best. and when i made it here, it was the worst. >> reporter: joe robinson's home one of an estimated 2,000 damaged by friday's deadly tornado. meanwhile, the state lowering its death count monday, bringing the overall total in alabama and mississippi to 22. dozens more injured.

>> we didn't have no chance to run. >> reporter: this family took cover in his daughter's bedroom as friday's ef-4 ripped through. their home collapsing. his family miraculously surviving. >> someone was helping me. i give god. >> reporter: gratitude overshadowed after learning his mother, stepfather and brother died in the storm. his mother's trailer decimated. >> all i know is i lost everything, and we really need help, man. >> we need help. >> front bedroom. you can see clear through it. >> reporter: experts now say between friday and sunday, at least 20 tornadoes ripped through the south destroying homes and businesses from mississippi to georgia. first responders forever scarred. fire captain larry brown jumped into action finding a two-year-old girl unresponsive beneath the rubble. >> started cpr, and she started breathing.

thank god. she is breathing, she is breathing. >> reporter: but the child did not make it. a devastated captain telling us he can't stop crying. >> our folks will be in the field. >> reporter: fema agents on the ground reminding people to sign up for federal aid. though, in this part of the south, many banding together, refusing to wait. your family and friends just showed up. no questions asked. >> no questions asked. they just came and started putting hands on. >> reporter: joe robinson at the end of that piece telling us he is already determined to rebuild bigger and better. he said that if the government doesn't come through for any reason, he says people here will help each other. what we're hearing is that the winter heading into spring the weather has just been relentless. these weather systems also slamming georgia, alabama and the carolinas with the potential for another round of severe weather this way later this week. willie? >> it really is relentless. maggie, thank you. shifting gears now to the

grand jury in new york. investigating that hush money case against donald trump. it reconvened yesterday with testimony from the former publisher of the "national enquirer" who helped arrange the deal but without decision to indict. garrett haake joins us now. from the district attorney's office here in manhattan. good morning. >> reporter: yeah. good morning. that grand jury was back in session here yesterday for several hours, but they left without an up or down vote on the question of an indictment, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. yesterday's convening of this two-month-long grand jury seemed to center around testimony from david pecker. pecker is a central fi this drama. in his role at the time as publisher of the "national enquirer" and a friend of then candidate donald trump. he helped brok the $130,000 payment. this is his second appearance

before the grand jury at we know about. it would suggest that he came back to answer questions that came up because of the testimony of other witnesses, including robert costello, the last witness. all signs this investigation seems to be wrapping up, but it is on its own time line. the grand jury meets on mondays and thursdays, so we could know more as soon as tomorrow. last night, describing the investigations as a new way of cheating an election, designed purely to keep him from the white house. hoda? >> all right. garrett haake for us there downtown. thank you. new developments on the protests in israel. a controversial plan to change the way that nation's judicial system works. the overall for now is being put on hold. richard engel has made his way to tel-aviv. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning,

willy. things are much calmer here now after the prime minister netanyahu decided to change the course. but demonstrators are remaining vigilant and ready to return to the streets. it is the biggest d-krtic crisis in israel's history, and it's not over. this weekend and into monday, angry protesters effectively shut down the country with mass demonstrations. the numbers were unprecedented in this small country, with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets to oppose a plan by prime minister benjamin netanyahu to take more control over the supreme court. after referencing solomon the wise, netanyahu late on monday played for time. when it is possible to prevent civil war through negotiations, i, as prime minister, will take

a time-out for negotiations, he said. netanyahu now promises his government won't try to pass the controversial judicial overall until after the passover holiday two weeks from now. but protesters remain primed to come back in force at any time. >> net he maintains his innocence. he was defeated in an election, only to return three months ago as the head of the most extreme government israel has ever head. now he's beholden to his allies, and they want to change the course. many are going from paris to what's happening here and politics in the united states. but there is a key difference, the military. the military has long been the bedroom of israeli society. and when reservists started

coming out in protest and refusing to attend training, the government got nervous. >> fascinating angle to this. richard, thank you. all right. 7:19. we talked about that tornado damage down south and even more severe weather may be headed their way this week. hey, al. >> yeah. it is all started like it did last week along the west coast. we have a big storm system coming in. you can see this spin right here. that's the storm system that will be developing. the river will enhance all that moisture. we also have strong winds. 15 million people under wind watches, wind advisories. wind gusts up to 32 to 44 miles an hour throughout parts of california. rain fall anywhere from 3 to 5 inches, coastal mountain areas. 3 to 4 more feet of rain. and along this system, there is a stationary front coming across the gulf coast.

"today in the bay"'s damian trujillo is live in pacifica where it was center. what are people there saying? >> reporter: well, we talked to, actually, one gas station attendant who said she didn't feel a thing. but looking at twitter feeds, people say it felt like a tree came crashing down or sounded like a car crash. so mixed reaction here in pacifica. it was 3.5, followed by two more 2.6 aftershocks. cal fire said that it had to inspect all of its apparatus around the area, make sure everything is okay. they've given the all clear. right now they're being pounded by heavy winds on the coastline. folks are being woken up to an earthquake, no major damage that we could see on our drive in, but we're going to drive around and keep our eye out. that's the latest. i'm damian trujillo.

>> he's also being hit by the storm we're talking about that is hitting the bay area. kari has a look at that. >> reporter: we've seen the storm rapidly intensify as it is off the coast, but bringing in waves of rain. we'll continue to see the rain off and on and really picking up here in the next couple of hours. the heaviest rain will be in the north bay through about 10:00. also moving into san francisco. and then as we go into late morning, that spreads down into the south bay. high winds and heavy rain will continue for the next few hours. >> all right. good to note. i'll be back with another local news update in about half an hour. hope to see you then. try stay dry today.to

and emotional account of the 2016 accident. >> everything was great, and then i heard something i have never heard at a ski resort, and that was a blood curding scream. >> reporter: he says oscar winner gwyneth paltrow plowed into him, a moment he says changed his life forever. >> it was like somebody was out of control and going to hit a tree and was going to die. and that's what i had until i was hit. >> reporter: sanderson is suing for at least $300,000. he says the crash left him with serious injuries including broken ribs and permanent brain damage. >> the fists and the poles were right there, at the bottom of my shoulder blades. never been hit that hard, and i'm fine.

>> reporter: the 76-year-old was forced to acknowledge some inconsistencies. >> i don't doubt you. i misspeak a lot. >> reporter: animated recreations of the incident to illustrate system from her ski instructor. >> he said, when she was talking to him, he simply said, i'm sorry. i'm sorry. >> reporter: eric christianson said he didn't see the actual clugs, but believes sanderson was to climb. >> i witnessed him coming much faster than anybody else on the slope, coming down the hill. >> reporter: afterwards, he said sanderson didn't appear to be seriously hurt. >> he had a wonderful opportunity to tell patrol, i am hurt. i need help. >> reporter: paltrow, the access turned lifestyle mogul, testified sanderson hit her from behind. she's not responsible for his injuries. >> mr. sanderson categorically hit me on that ski slope, and

that is the truth. >> reporter: the jury also heard from a ski patroller and emt two brought him down the slope on a sled and stayed with him two hours after the collision. she said sanderson had injured ribs but was not showing signs of a serious head injury. >> thank you very much. with us now with her perspective, laura, good morning. >> good morning. >> this seems like a typical he said, she said. it is basically who you believe at the end of the day, right? >> this entire thing will come down to credibility, in part because we don't have any video. there was dispute about whether there was a gopro video. that doesn't exist. the ski instructor for gwyneth paltrow didn't see the moment of impact. this will all come down to who does the jury believe since the

two sides are die metricically opposed (. >> he was faltering on critical facts, but he clearly was very emotional and perhaps the jury found that sympathetic at times. i think the hardest thing for him is that contemporaneously, right after this happened, he said, i'm okay. other people testified that he said i was doing just fine. now perhaps, you know, he didn't want to say he's been hurt. a lot of people when they have been in an accident don't want to be rushed to the hospital. that's okay. the jury will have to decide who to believe. >> one of the weird things about this case is it happened seven years ago. i was like, wait a minute. only now we're seeing them in court. why did it take so long? >> it is not clear and it is something the jury might have a knock against. he waited three years before he filed suit. that is something that might come into calculation for figuring out what the motivations. >> wealth, fame, all thei that gennett pal troe has, how

does that figure into this? >> it is hard to know whether the jury will punish for that. the fact that she's only asking for $1 might be interesting for the jury. they might say, why wouldn't she just settle this. it is obviously a lot of money. but for her it might not be a lot. the jury might say maybe she really has a case here or a reason to fight this. >> and quickly, her kids, are they going to take the stand? >> it seems like a risky move, especially for a high-profile celebrity. but maybe she's trying to signal to the jury how much she really believes in her innocence here. >> all right. we have a lot more ahead, guys, including a potential breakthrough that could revolutionize cancer treatment for tens of thousands of women. and products designed to make you appear busy at work. >> not for you guys, but for the audience. do you always get when you are

at work, someone might be watching you? odds are they are because companies are leaning into surveillance software. but now some workers are fightting back w with thingsgs d mouse e jig leers and other softwware. i i will sshow youu how ththey . thhat's cooming upp next o on "ttoday."

this morning, 7:41. the technology that can help companies monitor productivity and the new ways that some employees are trying to get around that.

>> i love the sound track to this story. nbc's senior correspondent is here with us. >> good morning. there is a decent chance that your work computer or tabloid or phone has a tracking software on it that monitors exactly what you are doing. this surveillance software was really popular during the pandemic. but now some workers are trying to game the system. the thing is, you got to be ready for the consequences if you are thought. from sneaking in a mid-day nap, to enjoying a bare minimum monday. and the latest, rage applying. apparently it's the new quiet quitting. >> oh, yeah. isn't that when you apply to zillion other jobs? >> reporter: half are back in the office. 28% working remotely. and 18% doing a hybrid of both.

it's causing some companies to install so-called tattle ware. it tracks employees working on phones, tablets and computers. in some cases, measuring productivity by recording key strokes or tracking software. some can even take photos of you using the computer's built-in camera. monitoring software is a billion dollar industry, expected to double by 2030. >> i think employers feel increasingly out of control in the workforce. >> reporter: this professor specializes in workplace surveillance and management. how worried should workers be. >> you know your company. is this being used in some way to supplement the information that the employer needs somehow? or really is this an excuse for poor management. >> reporter: she points to this mouse jiggler with a rotating

base or this usb gongle and software, all designed to keep the curser randomly moving across the screen. these are often marketed as undetectable to it departments. that's not true? if you are caught using this technology, what can happen? >> you can be fired. >> reporter: can your employer penalize you financially? >> i haven't seen that yet in employment contracts. but what i have seen is people disciplined. >> vicky, this is kind of a cat and mouse game. how are companies figuring out if you are using one of those? >> we talked to the owners of one of the biggest surveillance softwares out there. they say this may work for a short time, but it is not a long-term solution. all the company has to do is go back and look and see, oh, you know what, it was just hoda's

curser moving back and forth. your bosses here, they can really see what you're doing, so we're good. >> that's interesting. it doesn't give a lot of trust between workers and the employees. >> if you feel like you have to game the system or your employer feels like they have to take screen shots of your face, then you have to take a step back and think, is this the place i want to be. >> thank you. let's go to mr. roker. >> this is where i want to be. and if where you want to be is looking west tonight with lear skies, we have a parade of planets all in line. you might need binoculars to see mercury and uranus. you will have a beautiful view in chicago. we're looking at cloudy skies along the southeast, not too good.

glass and then gain entry to the building. the video shows hale upstairs stalking the hallways, heavily armed, looking for targets. they say this was an intentional attack planned, that she left behind a detailed manifesto now in the hands of the fbi. they say they discovered maps of the school building that detailed where the surveillance cameras were at the time of this attack. investigators have not pinpointed a specific motive yet. but they know she was a former student at the school and they eluded to the fact that perhaps the time here had something to do with this motive. now, this investigation is ongoing. it continues. they searched hale's home yesterday for evidence. we are hopeful to understand more about the why. of course, the parents here seeking the why as well. many here just reeling and grieving the loss of three adults and three children, all just nine years old.

this community is still in shock and processing exactly how the unimaginable happened here and how they're going to explain this to the students that witnessed this horrible tragedy. we are hopeful to hear more from police about this investigation later today and a potential motive as well. >> so hard to wrap your head around that. catie beck for us there in nashville. katie, thank you. officials in mexico say at least 39 people were killed in a fire last night. just across the border from el paso, texas. another 20 people taken to area hospitals. the building is where some migrants are detained while waiting for opportunities to enter the united states. others have already applied for asylum and stay there while they go through the process. there is no early word on the possible cause of that fire. all right. in health news today, ground breaking research that could change the standard of children for women with advanced endometrial cancer.

cases and deaths are still rising. good to see you. when you think of women and cancer, you think of breast cancer and maybe other kinds. how common is this particular kind of cancer? >> right now, hoda, experts are estimating by 2040, that endometrial cancer will be the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths and the third most prevalent cause of cancer. right now it is around four. there are, this year, estimated to be over 65,000 new cases of endometrial cancer with 13,000 deaths. as you pointed out the prevalence and mortality has increased, particularly among black women. >> let's talk about this new research. how will it change the way doctors treat this cancer. >> first of all, even from one day to the next, this could be practice changing. so what this study -- these two studies looked at woman who had

advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, stage 3 or stage 4. they gave them chemotherapy and immunotherapy at the same time. they found out the groups that got the combination experienced a 70% decline in recurrent or regression. >> 70%? >> 70%. this is dramatic. you know, and every time there is a story about immunotherapy. i don't know if you know a friend or family member that has cancer. you wonder if it could make a difference. it is doing this thing where you are harnessing your body's immune therapy to fight the cancer. the ones that are, it can really make a dramatic difference as you saw in these cases. >> i'm wondering if i need to be checked for this particular type of cancer. are signs or symptoms you need to look for? >> there is no standard screening for endometrial

cancer. the typical signs and symptoms would be irregular bleeding, particularly post menopausal bleeding and pain. there are risk factors that we talked about as well. thank you. to college basketball now. as we said, for the first time ever, virginia tech, hoda, is headed to the women's final four. the hokeys picking up a big win last night. >> and for the first time in program history, virginia tech is headed to the final four! >> they are dancing still this morning. >> look at you! >> everybody knows that. they face a tough lsu team on friday night in dallas. another team to punch their ticket, the gamecocks.

>> reporter: good morning, hoda. prince harry is here again today. he arrived through the back entrance, but he's in the courtroom with his notebook open, listening to proceedings. he said recently that he wants to change the media landscape, and this case is a big part of that. this morning, prince harry arriving for his second day of court, over a lawsuit brought against the publisher of "the daily mail." elton john and several other big name celebrities accusing the newspapers of violating their privacy. in court documents, prince harry's lawyers say he felt suspicion and paranoia, convinced those closest to him were leaking private details to the press, causing friends to be lost or cutoff and everyone becoming a suspect. prince harry and the other clie mants accuse the news group of using a private investigator to spy on them.

a spokesperson releasing a statement saying a private investigator whose confessions form a private element has denied their allegations he acted illegally against them on behalf of "the daily mail" and he denied he was commissioned or instructed by associated to carry out any unlawful activity, adding the associated newspap7eq vigorously denies all the claims against hit. prince harry's turbulent history with the media goes back to the death of his mother diana. in the aftermath, the tabloids agreed to let diana's grieving young sons grow up in private, away from the camera. harry's lawyer filing on his behalf in court says the

claimants amount this to a betrayal, given by promises to improve its conduct following the untimely death of princess diana in 1997. harry said -- >> i feel like it is my duty to uncover this exploitation within our media. >> reporter: fellow claimant elton john alleging his child's birth certificate was published in "the daily mail" before he and his partner had seen it himself. >> what do you expect in court today, kelly? >> reporter: so really this is associated newspaper's chance to argue to the judge that this case should be thrown out. they deny all the allegations, some of which date back to the 1990s. part of this argument is that

these allegations are so old they really shouldn't be brought forward now. it is a four-day hearing, so we're expecting this to wrap up thursday, at which point the judge will decide whether or not this can go to trial. >> is there any indication that while harry is there he will drop in to see his father or brother perhaps? >> reporter: not likely in either case, willie. that's because buckingham palace says that king charles is not in london or windsor. kensington palace as prince william is out of town as well. really, prince harry just made it clear by his presence here that he wants the focus to be on this case, on what he calls his life's work, to change the media landscape, put a focus on what he says, the effect he says, the tabloids have had on his life. one royal correspondent here in london said, put it this way, he said that prince harry is

actually positioning himself as the poster boy for privacy cases. this is one of three privacy cases he's brought against the tabloids. guys? >> all right. kelly, thank you. all right. mr. roker, do you have a check on the weather? >> you bet. another big storm coming in to the west that will make its way across the country and cause problems as you get into the mississippi river valley. heavier rain down to the gulf. temperatures in 80s. 90s down in florida. as you get up into the northern plains, 30s in upstate new york. rain, snow and wind out west. strong storms along the gulf. good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we are under a microclimate weather alert as we get waves of rain coming in and gusty winds. still waiting on rain in san jose and the tri-valley.

realize one day you have to love yourself more than people do. >> more. >> because people are not going to love you the way you can love you or the way god can love you. people are not going to do it. so i had to learn the hard way. you know what, all i have is me. you know? and i have to trust that. it was a couple passes and things like that that i was watching on television. he said, what you say about you and what you think about you is more important than anybody else thinks or says about you. >> yeah. and it just struck a cord in me. okay. i have to love myself. i have to take care of mary because nobody else is. people don't mean any harm. a person can love you and be with you. but it is not their job to keep you proped up all the time. that's the work i'm doing every day. i know who i am.

what i'm saying is i have to know. >> yes. >> you have to know it. >> i can't be any good to you if i'm not good to myself. >> "i know who i am" is the title to the next book. now we know. how much fun is this to do this? the illustrations are beautiful, to sit down and tell your story as a lesson to other kids. >> it was amazing because i wanted the little girl to look like me, the animation to kind of mimic me when i was a child. i sang, two ponytails. >> love it! >> so, you know, and my mother and my grandmother were my biggest inspirations. they are the most confident people in my life. and they're in the book. >> let's talk about your last year. your 15th album was nominated for 16 grammys. you won your first emmy. you were given the billboard icon award. you are in season 3 of a hit tv show. i mean, this is your moment like

right now. so if this were the title of a book, this chapter, what would you call this, do you think? >> "ain't no stopping me". >> you are on an incredible roll. it does remind you when a kid is told no, sometimes it is an ouch, but you can turn that beat around, which is what you do in the book. and mary can. >> mary did. and still conquering. >> we cannot wait to speak with you more in our fourth hour. you are an incredible human being. you make everything a little bit better. thank you so much. please pick up "mary can" on today.com/books. there is a lot that mary has been told. >> mary, thanks so much. nice to meet you. >> thanks for having me. coming up, spring cleaning hks you have to see taco

welcome back. this morning we are making sweet and savory pies with new york times best selling author, alison roman. her third cook book is out today. you are getting back to your roots as a pastry chef, filled with simple recipes for everybody. yeah. we were talking about how for you baking was an entry point into the culinary world. >> yeah. it was sort of the job they had available in the restaurant i wanted to work at. i had no training in either department, so it didn't matter. i said i will do whatever. and then i was a pastry chef for

eight years. as a person not that into desert, that was an interesting desert. >> i'm glad you put some savory into the cook book. >> i just think that that's like the case. i'm glad we're doing savory, too, because if you are doing a pie, sweet or savory pie crust is the most important part. i believe firmly in doing your butter by hand. that's the beauty of this book, most things are done by hand or without equipment. >> like an old school baking book. >> with pie dough. now that i have -- >> who does that butter? >> it's culled butter. basically you kind of just want to smash it in. >> flour. >> flour, sugar salt, a little bit of sugar.

it should feel like you are playing with the bowl of flour. the vinegar is in there because it adds a little bit of tenderness. helps prevent gluten formation. >> do you make your own pie crust? >> i have tried. i'm not that good at it. >> you would trust yourself. >> this works for sweet or savory. >> yeah. can you just freeze it and move on? is there always a roll of dough? >> in my house there is. so, yeah, this one is mushroom. the reason i included savory recipes is because i figure if you can make a sweet pay, you can make a savory pie. they don't have to be always meat-based. i feel like mushrooms are a great pay to showcase the pie filling.

>> what kind of shrooms are you working with? the people making this tonight, can they grab any mushroom? >> you can grab any mushroom. shop the variety available these days. they have really come a long way. >> okay. >> so we are going to cook the mushrooms down. >> they're going for it. they did not wait for us. >> is there cream in this? >> a little bit of cream. i know we always do a ton of dairy. >> this is a cooking hack. and then there is mushrooms, onions, garlic and you cook it down. and then you end up with these gorgeous little mushrooms. >> this is great. this is really good. >> but it is delicious even the next day. >> we add butter, herbs, flour. that's basically the thing that

thickens the pot pie filling. >> so good. >> there is a cream. i like to make the room in the pot rather than using 28 pots and pans for pot pies. it makes it easier. >> what is this liquid here, this brothy thing? >> it is broth and cream. not cute but not cheap, you know? add that, add that. and it's basically cooked down into something really beautiful that looks like this. >> yeah. >> so you want to add that here. and the reason i like to use a glass bottom pie plate, because you can see the bottom bake? how does this work? how do i know? with a glass bottom, you can see all around, yeah. >> do a little crimping around the edge there? >> you can do whatever you want. one minute. 50 seconds is great. >> what's the crumbling? >> it's just a flakey pie crust.

>> how about the lemon pie, guys? >> do you use the whole lemon? >> the whole lemon is in there. it is like a plastic thing where they use the whole lemon and everything, which i'm a fan of. but same pine crust. it's super great. >> is yours 50/50 savory and sweet? >> no. it is 95 sweet, 5 savory. >> if you were to take one thing out of your cook book, what would it be? >> maybe this lemon chicken pie. it is sweet. it is not too sweet. >> get the cook book, everybody. it is "sweet enough." you can get the recipes on today.com. we are back with our third hour coming up. >> thank you so much. yes, great job. >> first let's take a quick check of your local news. >> oh, never better.

we are under a microclimate weather alert as we track this storm continuing to move in with waves of rain, gusty winds. most of the heavy rain has been in the north bay, especially marin, where there is a flood advisory. the center of the storm is still well off the coast and getting very organized. we'll continue to draw in a lot more of the rain and gusty winds into late morning and the afternoon. eventually we'll start to see the rain taper off from north to south later on tonight. possibly some thunderstorms linger into tomorrow through the afternoon. then we'll catch a break as we head toward thursday and friday. more updates s online andnd througughout todayay.
