this video here. the other issue the president faces is the meh attitude of 70% of all americaning including 51% of democrats, so more than half of democrats, say they just don't want to see him run again. most of those democrats, however, say they would probably vote for him anyway in the end, which is what's going to matter here 16 months from now, craig. >> let's talk about the national mood today, hallie, versus four years ago. how much does that change the president's re-election strategy, or does it change it at all? >> well, it is a good question because you look at the national mood. october of 2020, 19% of people said they felt satisfied with how things are going. look at where we are this past month. 19% of people said they feel satisfied with how the country is going. not much has changed. on the political landscape, listen, the pandemic was a much bigger issue then. less so now. abortion access is a bigger issue now after the overturning of roe v. wade.

but bottom line, you are seeing president biden re-run some of his 2020, frankly, successful pitch, the battle for the soul of the nation. you are seeing republicans re-run, frankly, the same candidate, right, donald trump, who is the front-runner in the republican race and has united the gop around and at this moment. it is 2020 vibes, craig. that's what it is. whether people like it or not. and people don't. only 5% of americans say they want to see a joe biden/donald trump rematch. we'll see what happens in a year. right now those are the two front runners from each party. >> also breaking overnight, a temporary cease-fire taking effect in war torn sudan giving hopes for thousands of americans trapped in that deadly fighting and looking for a way out. richard engel joins us this morning with the latest. good morning.

with a pop of light, and it brightens up the space. >> reporter: upstairs, reverting this den back into a kid's bedroom. >> bedrooms help sell houses. >> reporter: when it comes to staging, it is not just on what's on the inside that counts don't forget about the outside. make sure your home has curb appeal >> there should be flowers planted outside. people should trim their hedges. people should make sure their lawns are taken care of. >> reporter: simple touches to help prepare your home for show time. >> that's great. >> the best time to sell it is when interest rates go down, but that is unpredictable. so if you are thinking about selling your home, you should start decluttering right now because it takes a lot of time to get rid of those items that no longer spark joy. she calls it the 80-20 strategy. do 80% of the work before your home hits the market, 20% after. >> smart. >> yes. >> great tips, by the way. >> speaking of tips, do you have any more staging tips? i am not selling my home but i want to do it at home to make it look better. >> the first thing is get rid of

some stuff not trying to sterilize the home those photos, the family photos? >> which one in particular >> that picture of me from my first job with extra highlights. >> can we bring that back? i don't think we got a good check of that photo. >> it's okay we can move on take down the drapes and the shrubs check this out natural light is coming in if you have a busy wallpaper or maybe the paint is kind of an older color, change it to a neutral color. it just livens up the room, clears it out, makes it zen and people can imagine themselves in that space. >> great tips. >> i like that. >> bring back the picture, all right. >> there it is. >> there's the picture. >> can we zoom in? we just need one tight shot. >> there she is. >> oh, little vicky. >> no one told me you have to put low lights back in, so i kept highlights and highlights and it got blonder and blonder i've come a long way. >> always adorable mr. roker? >> who know what else is nice? a giant weather map in your

book that she co-wrote with her mom called "honey baby mine. good morning it is so good to see you. >> so amazing to you. >> i had the privilege of meeting your beautiful mother yesterday as we talked about this book. the genesis of your book is your mom gets a scary, terrible diagnosis in 2018 and doctors are saying to her, the only solution we have right now is to walk. >> right. >> and that kind of unlocked this incredible part of her. >> yeah. she was exposed to pesticides being sprayed in the neighborhood and was not notified and realized that she had scarring on her lungs. and they said if you could get her walking, expand her lung capacity, maybe it will help so i knew my mom as a story teller and actress might be willing to walk because she was reticent it was painful very difficult at the time she was on oxygen to just get her to tell stories. i said i will record them in my

phone and we will have them for you grandchildren. they said she might have 3 to 6 months to live so we told each other everything. >> well, these are the kind of questions that we don't ever ask our parents. we think we know our moms. we think we know our dads. but we really don't because we're afraid to ask them, ask them questions that are very poignant and meaningful. your mom lost a child when the child was just months old, and that was a difficult thing for her to discuss yet, she opened up and talked about all these things. >> and she said that she really felt finally releasing some of the grief and challenges and heartbreak of her life as well as us laughing over absurd fights and silly things we have been through was, in fact, so healing physically and emotionally. and i was shocked at how little i'd asked her the hard stuff because i thought i don't want to bring it up and hurt her. but even the simple stuff. i've been raised by an actor i worked alongside my mother yet, i never asked, why did you

want to become an actress. from this tiny town in mississippi. from a veterinarian father what was the first movie that ever inspired you. what is your favorite color? >> which by the way i didn't know she said it was rose. >> and your mom was not afraid to talk about death. and i would imagine as a daughter, it would be scary to even approach that topic. >> in fact, our first walk i was like, mom, what do you want to talk about today let's get walking. she was like death she was like, you know, you got born that happened. you're going to die. that happens, too. she wasn't afraid of it. she was afraid of leaving me she was afraid of not being here to watch her grandchildren grow and still has that fear. but really i think she's embraced so much by talking about it she said, now, they haven't told me i may be dying i may not have said it all. but she said, i pray and that's why we decided to archive our conversations that

as we started sharing with people that we were doing this we saw that siblings and mother and fathers and sons and daughters they were all having conversations they have never had. we thought, if this could inspire friends, we hope it will inspire others, too. that's why we're sharing it. >> it is an incredibly beautiful book i like how important female friendships are to both you. i think you were at taylor swift's concert in the front row. you are in her video. >> yes. >> i mean, these are real friendships. >> yeah. >> they're not just hollywood friendships. >> no. and it's a blessing, right i think part of the embracing the sisterhood of found family was because my mom, also an only child, found her sisters, her connection with the women she worked with and found in this lifetime and so, that's been an amazing thing. we share a lot about those relationships, which was an

amazing way to grow up. >> well, the book is entitled "honey baby mine," which brings us to this gorgeous banana pudding that we have on our table. why is banana pudding such a part of this, while i dish it up for you? >> well, i just learned this amazing surprise that you all made this, which is incredible. >> uh-huh. >> but this is my grandma mary's recipe by the way, it cures everything. i've never had it breakfast, but i will on the "today" show. >> you will now. there is a part in the book about how one of you was sneaking this banana pudding underneath the dining room. >> my mother says, i don't know which one i was. i said, mom, i was eight years old and you stole the banana pudding and hid under the dining table with it. >> i know some people that read this book, and it inspired them already to have a conversation that terrified them. i can't tell my mother this or my grandmother that. >> yeah, yeah.

>> i feel like -- i mean, i don't know if that's your purpose, but it certainly seems like one of the benefits of this book. >> one million percent our purpose. to be clear, again, this was the beginning of 2019 that we started these walks. and they said your mother will never be here in six months. but from walking and not believing, as my mom said to you, they say they're practicing medicine, so i'm not going to believe one doctor i'm going to go to several and i will keep fighting with alternative modalities and my daughter and i's love for each other so she kept going. as i think she said to you, she's like, all i know is four years later, i made two movies, a tv show and wrote a book so here's to you, amazing diane ladd. >> you guys, pick up this book the book is called -- this is insane -- "honey baby mine." you can find more about it on our website. the recipe -- do you mind if we
