afternoon. this indictment includes four charges against the former president tied to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. >> it also references six co-conspirators who took action alongside mr. trump. although, they have not been charged with any crimes. >> this is the third indictment for trump this year just as the 2024 campaign is ramping up. we have complete coverage, including our interview with a member of the trump defense team just ahead. let's start with garrett haake. good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning. this lays out in detail a series of conspiracies all led by mr. trump to overturn the 2020 election. this is conduct that already led

to m. trump's third indictment. the former president commanded to appear before a judge here tomorrow. this morning donald trump accused of grave offenses against a country he once led and a constitution he swore to protect. the former president indicted by a grand jury on four felony counts, accused of conspireing to overturn the 2020 election. that culminating on the january 6th attack on the capitol. >> it was fueled by lies. lies by the defendant, targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the u.s. government, the nation's process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presiden election. 45-pagdictmentrges the former president with conspiracy to defraud united st, conspiracy to ruct an ofal proceeding an conspiracy against people's rivote and htheir votes counted. osecutors despite losin the election, mr. trump was, determito remain in power and ad lieat he actually won. t prosecutsay mr. trump

knew those claims were false. the indictment outlining that the former president was told there was no evidence of election fraud by key officials, including the vice president, justice department leaders, the director of national intelligence and even state courts. mr. trump, prosecutors say, deliberately disregarded the truth. >> we will never give up. we will never concede. >> reporter: prosecutors say the former president launched a, quote, criminal scheme, shortly after election day. joined by attorneys and officials. one appears to be rudy giuliani, whose attorney said mr. trump was acting in good fai dismissing the charges, asking on his social media platform, quote, why didn't they bring this ridiculous case 2.5 years ago? they wanted it right in the middle of my campa that's why. the president's top 2024al ron desantis tweeting, one of the reasons our country is in decline is the politicization of

the rule of law. according to the indictment, pence took contemporaneous notes of his conversations with trump in the run-up to january 6th. those notes now in the special counsel's possession. and the judge overseeing this case will be tanya chutkan. she has become known for handing down sentences harder than what prosecutors have asked for. >> earlier this morning we had a chance to speak to one of trump's defense attorneys. we started with the timing of the trial. the special counsel said yesterday he would like to see a speedy trial. that is 70 days from now. are you ready to go? would you like to see a speedy trial? >> a speedy trial is the defendant's right. we are entitled to understand

what the charges are. we are entitled to do our own investigation. the special counsel or the justice department, the biden justice department, has had three years to investigate this. to take president trump to trial in 90 days, of course, is absurd. the question is why do they want to do that? if you want to seek justice, then you need to offer president trump an opportunity to get a hold of all the evidence and understand what the facts are. >> well, i assume you are confident you can win this case. >> absolutely. we're going to win. >> would you, at a minimum, say you would like to see this resolved before the election. >> i want to get to all the evidence. i want a chance to present our case to the jury. this is the first time the first amendment has been criminalized. it is the first time a sitting president is attacking a political opponent on first amendment grounds and basically making it criminal to state your position to to engage on political -- >> i have to give you a little time-out on that. >> yes. we have never seen that before. >> it says the president has a first amendment right to speech and the right to lie. this is criminalizing conduct, not speech. >> no. no, it's criminalizing speech for this reason.

what the president saw in this 2020 election was all these irregularities going on, affidavits, sworn testimony, examples of instances where the rules were changed in the middle of the game. he had every right to comment on that and act politically. in a criminal case, what they would have to show is all of that speech was not entitled to first amendment speech. they won't be able to do it. >> it's very explicit. jack smith saw this very argument coming. it says he is being indicted for conduct using unlawful means of discounting legitimate votes and subverting the election results. he says he can speak all day, but you can't engage in this conduct. >> for example, let's say somebody opposes a law in congress. do a filibuster, right? that's political speech. that's political action. there's nothing wrong with that, but what we have, we have something -- >> there is nothing wrong with a filibuster. there is something wrong sending fake electors. >> these are not fake electors. these are alternate electors.

it was done by john kennedy in 1960. >> different situation. some of these alternative electors were not aware. they thought it would only come up if there was a legitimate dispute. >> what president trump had was an actual opinion of counsel that his request to vice president pence was completely lawful and constitutional. >> they had their own white house counsel saying that was not legal. >> no, you are entitled to believe and trust advice of counsel. you have one of the leading constitutional scholars in the united states, john eastman say to president trump, this is a protocol you can follow. it's legal. that eliminates -- >> that is one lawyer. he had his white house counsel saying that's not true. >> you don't have to count lawyers. here's the thing, though. the government has to prove criminal intent and corrupt intent. they have to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that, number one, president trump did not believe that all these irregularities are true. and, number two, that he did something to correctly obstruct

justice. they can't prove that because everything he did was get at the truth. >> do you think -- >> filing lawsuits, asking for recounts, asking vice president pence to pause the counting so you can go back to the states and reaudit. >> the prosecutors says let's go to trial in 70 days. >> how about he had three and a half years. why don't we make it equal, okay? the bottom line is they have 60 federal agents working on this, 60 lawyers, all kinds of government personnel. and we get this indictment, and they want to go to trial in 90 days. does that sunday like justice to you? the prosecutors is not here. maybe he's saying he's ready to go to trial in 70 days. >> to force a former president to united states to trial in 90 days when you have had three years -- >> no one can force that. it is the defendant's right to a speedy trial.

>> why would a prosecutor ask that? why would a prosecutor try to -- a prosecutor seeking justice and truth try to force a trial on someone. >> you just told me ten seconds ago they want to tie him up in court so he can't run an election. which one? >> absolutely. they want to go to trial so that instead of debating the issues against joe biden that president trump is sitting in a courtroom. >> going to get more perspective on this, and we have our chief white house correspondent also standing by. this is a fascinating conversation and get a preview

of the arguments. let's finish this first amendment thing because we're hearing this a lot. oh, this is criticizing free speech. where are we going in this country if you can't speak your mind. is that a valid argument? >> if he had done what he said, i think this would be a different case. the prosecutors made it crystal clear here he is not being charged for his speech. he is being charged for the means that he used to try to subvert the will of the people, by putting forth fraudulent electors and, therefore, defrauding the u.s. government. it is not about calling the election rigged. it is not about saying that he's actually won. it is about the means he used to do that. the best example i can give you is if you look at your bank account today and it looks like a bunch of money is missing. you get to challenge that. you get to go on tv and say, i think that's my money. what you don't get to do is rob

that bank. >> another issue that's come up with the lawyers interviews and we can see this happening is an argument that president trump sincerely believed that the election was stolen and, therefore, you can never prove that he had a corrupt intent to defraud the american people. is that a valid argument? >> well, that will be for the jury to decide. the issue here, though, is there is a whole bunch of evidence -- and this is just in the indictment. this is not everything they have. in the indictment, they lay out chapter and verse all the times that mr. trump was told by everyone and their mother that the election fraud claims were bogus and that he had lost and he was aware of it and he acknowledged it. now, the jury will decide whether that amounts to corrupt intent, but that's the evidence they had. the evidence they had was that he was told and he just didn't want to hear it. >> let's turn for a moment to kristin welker on the political

side of this. we had a big discussion with the lawyers about when this trial might take place. it is really important because if this runs past the election, there is a world in which donald trump could be re-elected and has the potential of pardoning himself or ordering his justice department to drop the case. when is this trial going to happen? very interesting and very important. >> very important, savannah because it speaks to the strategy here. are the president and his legal team effectively trying to run out the clock so that the election is held before these cases go to court? in the meantime, he is trying to build momentum based off of this. from his first indictment to his third indictment, savannah, he's only gotten politically stronger. recent polls show 71% of gop voters do not think he committed a crime. one poll shows him with a 37-point lead over his nearest rival, ron desantis. look, this cuts both ways, und-raising.se he's seen a spike

at the same time, his legal fees are goup. so super spent some $20 in legal fin the firsf this yeaone, savannah. that, effectively, is more than they brought in and so that's the double-edged sword here. i think the outstanding question, will there be a weight of this that becomes too great. >> what's interesting is the defendant's right. it is to protects the defendants, the sixth amendment. the government can't just hold you forever and say we'll try you one day and here you are in this legal l. on the otherd, the ddant can say, i waive that. let's streit oger. but the judge will decide. at some point the judge -- the defendant can't stretch it out forever. >> and the judge is also there to vindicate the rights of the public. public has aht to the speerial and the vic. ane judge is there to serve as a check. in this case, especially where the alleged crime is about the disenfranchisement of voters.

the judge will take that into account, too. >> it is a fascinating indictment that goes to the heart of the matter whether or not this election was stolen. we will continue to cover it. thank you. it's a historic day. let's move to some chaotic moments in mid-town manhattan yesterday. a driver that was running from police and struc police and struck a group of pedestrians. it started when police tried to pull over a driver of a stolen vehicle, but the car sped off, slammed into cars. a cyclist and people just talking on the sidewalk. 10 people were hurt. thankfully, nobody suffered life threatening injuries the 20-year-old suspect was eventually taken into custody and now facing a whole list of charges. >> craig joins us now. >> yeah. good morning to you. the suspected gilgo beach serial killer appeared in court yesterday as prosecutors revealed some new evidence for the first time stephanie gosk has been following the story. joins us now with more details. >> reporter: good morning.

rex heuermann showed up in court with little emotion on his face. his attorney says he maintains his innocence. they're prepared to go to trial, while prosecutors continue to gather what the d.a. calls a massive amount of evidence from the 13-year investigation. inside a long island courtroom, the 6'5" accused serial killer handcuffed, standing silently as victims' family members looked on the hearing was brief, lasting less than ten minutes as prosecutors discussed sharing mountains of evidence with the defense. the new material includes eight terabytes of data on four hard drives with thousands of photos, autopsies, surveillance footage and dna reports. >> you are talking about 13 years worth of investigation it is a massive amount of material. >> and that's just the beginning, according to prosecutors who say the investigation is ongoing and more will be turned over on a rolling basis. the court appearance comes after investigators spent nearly two

weeks combing through his home, removing truckloads of possible evidence, including nearly 300 guns stored in a walk-in vault photos from inside the vault appear to show how extensive it was. they even removed a piece of the family's bathtub the attorney for his children released a statement, criticizing police for the state their home was left in, writing, the deplorable conditions they are now left to live in after the rough shod, wholesale upending of their home by police investigators is absolutely unacceptable rex heuermann will remain behind bars held without bail, facing three counts o first-degree murder in the deaths of three young women killed over a decade ago the 59-year-old maintains his innocence and won't take a plea deal. >> there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of leads in this

case they very well could have the wrong guy. >> this is the first step in the process of proving those allegations. >> his next court appearance is in late september. with evidence still coming in and possible additional charges, it could be a while before this case goes to trial, guys. >> all right stephanie gosk stephanie, thank you. one of the most dominating pitching performances of the year it came from houston's framber valdez >> pena, no! the first lefty in franchise history to throw a no-hitter. >> valdez allowing no hits and just one walk in nine innings against the guardians. only took him 93 pitches, and p that's the fewest number of pitches in a no-hitter since

1999 >> that's still one of the most impressive feats in all of sports. >> didn't we have one a couple weeks ago. remember >> we did. >> perfect game. >> yeah. all right. see, it's all happening. >> verlander out in houston, too. so these guys are going to be unstoppable. >> mr. roker, what do you got in the weather department >> well, we got a lot of heavy weather to talk about. good morning, everybody. in the midsection of the country we have flash flood watches and warnings from missouri on into southern illinois and indiana. heavy rain coming on in here wind gusts of 60 miles an hour, isolated hail. an isolated tornado possible, but the heavy rain will be a big, big problem big mississippi river valley, we're talking about four to eight t inches of f rain possis. and the sosouthern appppalachia coululd see 3 toto 5 inches.s. but t we will geget to your r l forerecast in ththe next 30 0 s. y'all this is nice.

the head of the school says the entire community is heartbroken. a nurse found the student and performed cpr until paramedics arrived. the child is in the hospital. his or her condition is unknown. it's not yet clear how it happened. we are not yet done with covid. cases are on the rise in san francisco, but there is another booster coming to help fight it. according to the city's public health website, the current seven-day average of new cases in san francisco is 38 as of july 24th. of course, that's far lower than what we saw in the last three years. but it is a reminder, doctors say, that the omicron and its subvariants are still around, so keep yourself safe, make sure you have a paxlovid plan, know if you are taking any drugs that might interfere with paxlovid, and carry a mask in case you're in a risky situation. there will be a new booster coming next month. let's get a look at our forecast for this wednesday morning with kari. >> we're starting out with clouds around the bay area. that's going to keep those

>> it was brought by three former dancers joe fryer is following the story for us. >> good morning. an attorney for those dancers filed a lawsuit in los angeles yesterday. they're making a number of allegations against the popular singer, including sexual and religious harassment and creating a hostile work environment. they say the way they were treated goes against everything lizzo stands for publicly. lizzo's hit songs are often accompanied by messages about body positivity. >> watch out for the big girls. she told "today" she was looking for dancers that match that message. but in a new lawsuit filed by three former dancer, lizzo was accused of weight shaming. one of the dancers says lizzo called attention to her weight gain with thinly veiled concerns though, she never explicitly stated it. >> i just had this feeling they had a problem with the way i was gaining weight.

>> reporter: davis filed the suit with two o others they alleged an added after partrty where sesexually expxpl acts were taking place on stage, lizzo invited the dancers to take turns briefly touching performers. >> i briefly touched the performer. everyone burst into laughter. >> repeporter: it t is somethihg davis felt she didn't want to do but felt pressured to do it. >> i didn't want it. i said no multiple times. >> reporter: and lizzo accused them of drinking alcohol before shows, and because of that they were forced to audition for their jobs again >> she would pick and chose when she wanted to be professional and when she wanted things to be

personal. >> both were fired this past spring while rodriguez resigned. >> she proceeded to say, you know, dancers get fired for gaining weight you should basically be grateful to be here. >> reporter: the trio is also suing lizzo's production company and her dance captain, accusing her of forcing her religious beliefs on them. lizzo has not commented on the suit the champion of positivity on stage now accused of enabling a toxic work environment behind the curtain. >> you go from preaching about sisterhood to then turning around saying it is a privilege that you know us by name. >> efforts to reach lizzo's production company was not successful her dance captain has not able to be contacted for comment. we want to point out not every claim in the lawsuit was brought against every defendant. >> such an online presence, joe. what are folks saying there? >> after lizzo posted on instagram yesterday without addressing the controversy yesterday, some fans were dismayed others weighed in supporting the former dancers and suggesting they witnessed and experienced similar treatment.

some online are also pointing out that beyoncé at her concert last night left lizzo's name out of a lyric that usually lists her with other artists, and so there's lots of speculation out there. >> they will probably speak out soon, i'm guessing all right, joe thank you. >> thank you, joe. still ahead, forget sharks, guys this is the summer of snakes emilie ikeda explains why bites are on the rise and the answer might surprise you. the kennedy family marking a moment 80 years ago that changed the course of u.s. history hey, kelly >> hey, that's right, hoda ambassador carolyn kennedy and her soson, jack, j jumping intn jejellyfish ininfested wataterse south pacicific to payay tribut john f. kekennedy.

this development good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this indictment lays out what prosecutors describe as a series of conspiracies by the former president to overturn the election results and remain in power after 2020 it is the same conduct that led to his second impeachment and now leading to his third indictment prosecutors say that despite being told over and over again by officials that he had lost the 2020 race, mr. trump continued to lie about winning and engaged in what they call a criminal scheme, working with six unindicted co-conspirators mr. trump's attorney told savannah this was all about timing to try to disrupt his current presidential campaign. >> i don't know. you just told me ten seconds ago they wanted to tie him up in court so he couldn't do the election and now you are telling me a speedy trial. >> they want to go to trial so

instead of debating the issues against joe biden that president trump is sitting in a courtroom. >> reporter: the trial date could be a long way off here, but the arraignment will happen tomorrow it is judge tanya chutkin overseeing it. she is known for giving harsher sentences than what prosecutors requested. police are searching for a teenage suspect in the weekend stabbing death of a professional dancer the victim, 28-year-old was dancing to beyoncé's song with friends at a brooklyn gas station on saturday night. a group confronted the dancers, made comments about them being gay and told hem to stop the dispute escalated and a 17-year-old pulled out a life and fatally stabbed sibley in the chest. this morning, beyoncé's website paid tribute saying rest in

we asked the zoo's deputy director about all the talks of fakes. i promise it's real, he said seeing is believing. people can come and see for themselves experts explain that malaysian sun bears are smaller and slimmer than a grizzly as for the baggy pants. >> the extra skin is really important for sun bears. >> reporter: attendance at the zoo has jumped by 30%, thanks to people scrambling to catch a glimpse of angela and bear witness to all the hype. it is the slouchy skin has people doubting that angela is the real deal. on that, the zoo's deputy director told me that we have to bear in mind, sorry, that some

do it, i can try sometimes if you just do it, you can try and then you can do it over and over again. can we do some painting? who likes art? okay, okay so we're going to paint? i love painting. what should we paint >> a rainbow >> okay, then. let's do it. we called in the bronx-born artist that goes by envy she was nice enough to sketch an outline so we could get to work. >> do we remember the colors of the rainbow? >> yes >> next one? orange. >> next one? >> yellow. green! blue indigo >> nice job, guys. all right. i'm next this is fun, guys. isn't it >> i would not be surprised if any of these kids cry. >> it was hopeful. and i'm definitely in good company. >> whoa! >> what do you say

we're back now 8:36 with our "today in the wild" series a closer look at one of the world's terrifying and intriguing reptiles. we are talking snakes. >> i have no idea. >> it's been a summer of record setting heat there is new research out that shows that snakebites actually spike when it is really hot outside. this is a topic that nbc's emilie ikeda knows, shall we say, all too well. >> i would say after a snakebite tried to sabotage my wedding in the rocky mountains, we are breaking down the dos and don'ts should you come face to face with a slithery reptile on your summer vacation. >> i feel like my skin is sticky. >> new research on snakes could give you the chills.

>> i just saw some movement. i looked down and there were two snakes perched. >> researchers found a significant jump in the likelihood of being bitten by a snake. suggesting something unique about snake behavior. a snake bite is one of those potential impacts of a changing climate. we want to do a better job of being able to predict or project who may be bitten and when and where and how we can avoid that. >> this year, snakebites are on the rise in south carolina, home to 38 snake species. the local poison control center reporting 174 cases in 2023, par outpacing recent years. >> i am deathly afraid of venomous snakes and i'm also

stressing out about it >> despite the slithering reptiles, hikers still want to explore the national park. and a little knowledge goes a long way people are out and about what do people need to know about snakes >> they have no interest in you whatsoever if you don't go up to it and threaten it or try to bother it, it's going to go away. it doesn't want to have anything to do with you. >> we wove through the tranquil plains in search of snakes i admittedly trailed cautiously behind bennett, known locally as snake man. >> lower your eyes down, and you just scan it. >> it could be a couple feet from us and we have no idea. >> that's right. >> they're hiding out. >> taking cover under logs and in piles of rock and debris. >> we got a banded water snake right down there. >> like the snake our crew leader encounters which could be aggressive and strike quickly. when you encounter a snake, stay calm and keep your distance.

>> all right we have to suck out the poison. >> man, i ain't sucking nothing. >> do not try to suck out the venom. avoid applying ice and don't use a tournament instead, wash the wound. try to safely identify the species. and most importantly, get to a medical facility as soon as possible a venomous snake can leak two bites. a venomous copper bite landed by fiancée in the hospital the day before our wedding. >> it's midnight, which means it's our wedding day >> after a sleepless night in the er, the doctor cleared pat just in time to hobble down the aisle with a swollen ankle and a truly wild story every year roughly 7,000 to 8,000 people are bitten by venomous snakes in the u.s., but

deaths are extremely rare. should snakes prevent people from heading outdoors? >> absolutely not, no. it's really funny because people would often say, oh, i'm so afraid i'll see a snake and i go, yeah, i'm just really afraid i won't see a snake. >> so the majority of snake species in the u.s. are non-venomous and play a critical role in the earth's biodiversity as, both, predator and prey. if you are concerned about venomous snakes around your yard, keep your grass cut low, install outdoor lighting and clear out places snakes like to hide my husband's ankle fully recovered. no numbness, no swelling, no puncture marks >> how was the first dance at the wedding? >> it was a little bit of a lean now we have the almost unbelievable memory the night before our wedding. >> you get bit by a snake before your wedding day, that's good luck. >> absolutely. tell your husband thanks as well. >> thanks. coming up next, guys, we

and this morning on and this morning on "today's bestsellers," we have some home hacks. simple products under $20. >> my mind is already blown. if you want to purchase any of these items for less than $20, scan the qr code on your screen. >> so excited. >> what is this? it's super cute. this is an egg timer whether you like hard boiled eggs, medium boiled eggs or soft eggs, this will help you get it perfect every time you put it in with the legs at the beginning and you turn on the water and it cooks right along with it. here we have hard boiled eggs. you see all the color there has

disappeared. >> that's how you know. >> i prefer a hard boiled egg, so you can let them -- >> how do you do it? i don't get it. >> see how the color disappears? right now it is all red. when it is medium, i will go down to just medium. >> what is this gadget >> okay. so this is the chef'n garlic chopper. it chops inside because there is a blade. it is great if you have kids in the kitchen. and everything can be popped in the dishwasher, so very easy clean. when you are done, pop that little top open and then the chopped garlic then you don't get the garlicky fingers. all right.

so this i love it is a double spoon rest and top lid rest you got to check in on it and you never know where to put the lid. so you can rest it right here. you just go like that. this is a small one, but it will take the big one this little lid here collects any of that condensation you could put your egg timer in there, too it's heat resistant. it is that silicon, so you can put it next to the stove it works really well it has that nice grip here. >> full disclosure, we use these in the house well, they work. >> they do work. >> we featured them a year or so ago. because your veggies and food go bad after three days you pop these in. >> yeah. the magic behind it is so apples and bananas release a gas thats.

yeah. the fridge is the best ripens the fruit when you have an unripened mango and you put it in a paper bag, that's trapped in the bag. so this absorbs the gas. >> i will say it does work best when it is in an enclosed space. yeah the fridge is the best place for it but it absorbs that gas. this actually just opens so you can replace the packets and use it again and again you see how that top part has that vent there. that's why it absorbs via gas. craig melvin says it works another great way to help your fruits and veggies last longer are these. this slides right on you don't have to use paper. >> okay. >> you can do it on anything >> you get one for your limes. >> i do that a lot because they try up and they end up wasting it you know how you only use half a can of tomato paste. you pop that on and it is much

more sustainable because you're not using the foil and plastic wrap. >> super fun can be used again and again. >> oh, this is straight-up genius, too. >> this is for deep cleaning your coffee mate there is always these hacks about using vinegar, but that can make the coffee maker smell like vinegar these are great. you drop them in within the water reservoir. this works with expresso, keurig it just goes in the water reservoir and it takes out all the build-up minerals. >> how often are you supposed to do that? >> once a month. in real life, we probably do it once every three months. >> if i did it at all, i would be proud of myself. >> and it makes you coffee taste so much better this is mr. siga i believe he is mr. clean's italian cousin >> you're funny. >> thank you

mr. siga makes these wonderful microfiber cloths. these are great for cleaning because you want to use a nonabrasive cloth. this doesn't leave the lint behind there you go craig melvin >> it works. >> there you go. you can throw them in the wash that's going to leave a residue. you want to keep them just normal but this is so great >> scan the qr code or go to today.com. mr. daley? >> savannah, thanks so much. when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that means you are hungry the chef is here to show us how to make a crowd-pleang slice for breasikf

lo veremos a continuación, food." chef showing us how to make home pieces at his staple restaurant. he took the pizza out from the

city to the beach with the reopening of the iconic silver sands motel in greenport, which we were just talking about that looks awesome that looks good to me. >> come on oysters in the sand on the beach is the way to go. >> we were saying family restaurants where you can bring your kids, maybe there is a bar. >> the new spot, yeah, yeah. >> so we're talking about pizzas they're selling home ovens when we were growing up, a home pizza was an english muffin, some ragu and cheese. >> well, first of all, the technology has got to the point where you can buy ovens that turn out great pizzas. friends of mine want to learn this stuff it is really not as mystifying as it sounds you can make dough in as little as five minutes. throw it in the refrigerator and ball it up so we will make classic

neapolitan pizza dough we simplified things here in that it is just a couple ingredients and we will bulk fermented. this is double o flour >> the secret agent. >> yes, it's very, very fine. >> and then you put in a little bit of salt. we've got yeast. this is dry active yeast we put on here. i like to use dry yeast because it is much more consistent for the process. >> we make pizzas on sunday. if you want to skip the dough-making process you can go to your local pizza maker and get dough. this is not a make or break on making pizzas. >> i encourage you to go to your grocery store, go to the local pizzeria in your town and do that we will make the flour with the water and the salt the salt is important. once we get everything mixed together, we will add the salt

together we will make sure that things get a chance to get going. we will mix that for four or five minutes don't worry. it comes together. it will be a bit of a mess once it comes together, put that salt in there. we will mix that for about five minutes. >> take that, put a piece of plastic up over it and let it sit overnight. the next day, we will ball it up or you can put it in the freezer. >> that's double proofing. >> you can do either one. >> do you make pizza dough >> we do we do. >> the dough and everything? >> i buy the dough. >> i like how you can make it so thin but it doesn't break apart. the sauce we have here for classic style pizza, we don't cook it. we want raw tomato here. you can just use a great canned tomato you can also use fresh tomato, but there are a little less water in those

mash them up by hand and then we put in salt. >> our friend makes great sauce. >> in the cans there, it is super. >> all right put that on the pizza. we will make a couple pizzas here classic american we all it diablo because it is a little spicy what you need here is just two spoon fulls of sauce less sauce than you think. i think that pizza is really bread with pockets it is all about the dough. and there is a few of your favorite toppings. >> in this particular one, they put a little chilis in there and spicy salami. >> we got about a minute, chef. >> yeah. we got it here don't worry. that's more time than i get in the restaurant and then i've got spicy salami put that on and move on right there. >> that goes in the oven that's a classic

then we have the signature we do in the restaurant and by the beach. this is clams we have cooked this sounds strange. clams on pizzas is a very east coast thing. i did not this until i moved here and i'm obsessed with it. it is a cream we whipped with the juice and the clams. okay >> okay! >> i have never done that. >> okay. well, i got 30 seconds here, chef. >> we tip that off we have the clams. >> something different. >> i wouldn't have thought about it. >> by the ocean in silver springs, you can have clams by the ocean. >> keep making keep going today.com/food, that's where you can find the recipes don't be afraid. make the pizza at home if you are in new york, hit up these restaurants. the new one out therin
