speaking fees from goldman sachs in one year. >> while republicans donald trump and ted cruz trade new insults of their own. we have the campaigns covered. breaking overnight. the three americans released in a prisoner swap with iran arrived in germany for a reunion with their families. this morning the secret and controversial negotiations to win their freedom. brutal. 52 million americans from the midwest to the east coast waking up to bitter cold t tperatures this morning as much of the snow of the season. we're tracking it all. and not sticking the landing. an unmanned spacex r rket touches down and then suddenly topples over, exploding into pieces. what the team behind the ill-fated mission is saying about it, today, monday, january 18th, 2016.

this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on monday morning, martin luther king day. i'm matt lauer. alongside tomorrow ron hall for savannah guthrie who is taking the day off. can we go back to the rocket, the spacex folks saying we got it, we got it, we got, we don't got it. do you get half credit for that. >> you do because you're elon musk and he's tony stark. >> we'll have more on that but let us start with the top story, the most intense democratic debate so far of the presidential campaign so far. hillary clinton clashing with bernd on some big issues in this race. we have complete coverage starting with nbc's andrea mitchell who co-moderate that had debate. andrea, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. well, with the democratic contest a lot closer than anyone

have been getting increasingly combative and that produced a fiery debate just two weeks before the iowa caucuses. the fireworks exploded right from the start, first over guns. >> i have made it clear based on senator sanders' own record that he has voted with the nra, with the gun lobby numerous times. >> secretary clinton knows that what she says is very disingenuous. i have a d-minus voting record from the nra. >> and then health care, clinton accusing sanders of trying to kill obamacare by proposing a new medicare for all programs. >> now, there are things we can do to improve it, but to tear it up and start over again, pushing our country back into that kind of a contentious debate i think is the wrong direction. >> that is nonsense! what a medicare for all program does is finally provide in this country health care for every

>> firing back sanders blasted clinton's ties to wall street. >> i don't take money from big banks. i don't get personal speaking fees from goldman sachs. >> i can take that, but he's criticized president obama for taking donations from wall street and president obama has led our country out of the great recession. >> you've received over $600,000 in speaking fees from goldman sachs in one year. >> you're the only one on this stage that voted to deregulate the financial market in 2000. >> reporter: as to what role her husband would play if she won the white house. >> well, it will start at the kitchen table. we'll see how it goes from there and i -- i'm going to ask for his ideas. i'm going to ask for his advice, and i'm going to use him as a goodwill emissary to go around

ideas we've got. >> reporter: asked whether he regrets having recalled bill clinton's past transgressions disgraceful and unacceptable sanders called it old news. >> and i mean this seriously, you know that. we've been through this. yes, his behavior was deplorable. have i ever once said a word about that issue, no, i have not. >> reporter: but sanders showed no reluctance to trumpet his own surge in iowa and new hampshire polls. >> when this campaign began she was 50 points ahead of me. we were all of three percentage points. guess what in, iowa, new hampshire, the race is very, very close. >> reporter: and, in fact, after the debate, south carolina's leading democratic congressman james clyburn told us if bernie sanders wins big in iowa, it will redefine the race. he says he's got a much better organization here in south carolina than cliburn had realized and that it could mean a replay of 2008 when hillary clinton lost to barack obama here.

>> andrea mitchell, and imia, thanks. nice job last night, by the way. so will what we heard from the candidates change the dynamic of the democratic race? chuck todd is nbc's political director and moderator of "meet the press." chuck, good morning to you. chuck. did you see a winner last night, a clear winner? >> reporter: well, i don't know if it was a clear winner but this was clearly the bernie sanders debate. if you were an alien and plopped down on the earth and didn't see any of the polls or follow the race would you have assumed bernie sanders was the front-runner because he was the focal point of most of the debate. not until you got to foreign policy was it clear that it was hillary clinton that had a lot more command and control of the issues set than bernie sanders so i think in many ways this was bernie sanders' big moment. now whether he was able to earn new supporters i think that's what we're going to find out in next week. i think he did nothing last night to lose anybody and if anything he fired up his base. >> how do you like his tactic of

big banks and wall street? is it effective? >> reporter: i think in democratic primary it's very effective. in this political environment, i mean, matt, you have donald trump and bernie sanders both trashing wall street because what wall street also does when you say it it tells the voter, hey, they are part of the insider game. wall street/washington. they have been conflated as far as the political environment is concerned and what the voter hears it's insider rigged game that doesn't benefit me. >> and quickly before i ask you to take a break and come back to talk about the republicans, if you're running the clinton campaign right now, are you beginning to figure out your talking points to the public on why your candidate might have lost iowa and new hampshire? >> reporter: well, i don't think they are there yet. i thought the most fascinate being development last night was that hillary clinton basically wrapped herself in president obama. i think we know her strategy which is to tell democrats, hey, do you like president obama? did you love him?

whatever it takes to carry his legacy. bernie sanders, he wants a big revolution. he doesn't think barack obama was -- was good enough. >> all right. channel 6, action news, as i mentioned, stick around. we'll talk about the republicans in just a moment with front-runners donald trump and ted cruz sharpening their attacks against each other. nbc national correspondent peter alexander keeping an eye on that. peter, good morning. >> reporter: matt, good morning. you had another one of those warm and fuzzy feelings wouldn't last. donald trump and ted cruz neck in neck in iowa just two weeks to the caucuses. they are unleashing a series of attacks with crump's latest crumbs, if you will, not over policy but personality. so much for playing nice for donald trump and ted cruz. >> he's a nasty guy. nobody likes him. nobody in congress likes him. nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him. >> reporter: cruz is fighting back against trump and the new york tabloids after they condemn condemned the senator's attacks on new york values.

seem like they lit their hair on fire. what are the new york values of which you speak? now, i would say in the rest of america people know exactly what that means. >> reporter: cruz's strategy, turning trump's words against him tweeting the billionaire's comments from "meet the press" in 1999. pro-choice and open to gay marriage. >> i lived in new york city and manhattan all my life, okay, so, you know, my views are a little bit different than if i lived in iowa perhaps. >> reporter: trump's argument. cruz is a hypocrite, privately raising money in new york and getting loans from its big banks. >> he wants to look like robinhood, that he's the one protecting the people from the banks. well, he's actually borrowing money and personally guaranteeing it and not disclosing it which is illegal. >> reporter: attacks that may not sit well with the party's right wing. one influential commentator warning trump either cut the crap or you'll lose lots and lots of conservatives. >> right? >> reporter: like these tea party supporters voicing their disapproval in south carolina saturday. >> say whatever you want. he didn't report bank loans. that's okay. >> reporter: under fire on the

to get back at his chief critic, even after getting stuck in an elevator. >> all right. so who put donald trump in charge of the elevator? >> reporter: friendship now for the record for "snl." >> i'm glad everyone is talking about my good friend rafael eduardo cruz. >> reporter: with trump and cruz crabbing all the headlines, the rivals, of course, are fighting to get in the fray as well. marco rubio bashing cruz for his campaign donations and jeb bush hitting trump for being too liberal and even john kasich getting a small boost with three new hampshire papers endorsing him as the best man for the job. matt. >> peter, thank you very much. let's bring chuck back in. chuck, if you go on the campaign trail and you go to a donald trump event, the people in that room love to hear him skewer others, other politicians, especially democrats, but it seems there is a line when it comes to ted cruz. explain the line. >> reporter: well, look.

do share some of the same sort of anti-establishment outside supporters. you saw what peter was talking about. it's a radio -- the warning shot to trump, a radio talk show host by the name of mark levin. donald trump in his wore against political correctness, it has really been very popular with the talk radio crowd, but ted cruz sort of more strident conferenceational conservative in washington, he's popular with the talk radio crowd and the talk radio crowd are more principled conservatives. if they had a choice they would probably vote ted cruz over trump and that's the warning shot to trump. that's why it's a precarious strategy to him. he could hurt himself as much as he helps himself by going after cruz. >> chuck todd this morning with us, chuck, thank you very much. appreciate this. another major story this morning, a prisoner swap with iran to secure the freedom of four americans. three of them arriving in germany overnight as they begin making their way home. we have two reports for you

simmons in landstuhl, jerell any. keir, good morning. >> reporter: hey, tamron, good morning. one of the freed americans is already back there in the states. matt trevithick was met at logan airport and three more spent the night here, and we're told that they were in good spirits this morning. this was jason rezaian's first taste of freedom. the "washington post" reporter met by u.s. officials. he's now one of three at the u.s. medical facility in >> that's spectacular news. we're just so happy. can't wait to see him. >> reporter: in a flurry of activity his editors arrived to meet him. what did he say? >> he said i feel a whole lot better than i did 48 hours ago which has to be the understatement of the weekend. >> sounds in high spirits and indicated that he wants human contact and wants to see other people. >> reporter: former marine amir hekmati's sister was flying in for a reunion.

needles dying to see him. we haven't seen him in four and a half years. >> reporter: while a pastor, saeed abedini has been four years locked up. >> it's unbelievable. out of iranian soil and in germany and after some medical attention i'm waiting to hear from him. >> reporter: an emotional and momentous 48 hours, the men emerging from an aircraft. >> we're united in welcoming home sons and husbands and brothers who in lonely prison cells have endured an absolute nightmare. >> reporter: simultaneously america releasing iranian prisoners, sanctions lifted and events viewed by republicans and one said one american didn't come home. former fbi agent bob levenson is missing, promising to help find him a statement from his family says we are devastated. a mystery surrounds a fifth

not to leave iran. we don't know why. perhaps he didn't want the attention because, tamron, we're told that the others were waiting at the airport for a day, and it may be days before they can leave here while they undergo psychological evaluation. tamron. >> keir simmons thanks so much, let's get more on this from rich engel in tehran. richard, what's the mood there time >> reporter: well, this is an extraordinary time to be here in tehran. the mood is one of expectation and optimism. people are encourageled by the deal. they think they got the better half of the deal, and they are looking forward to a better economy. the sanctions that had been put in place now lifted devastated the iranian economy and put a stranglehold on the economy. it is a illegal for iranian people and businesses to move money in and out of the country. now banks can do that. iran couldn't legally trade its oil.

clearly is not worth what it used to be, and tens of billions of dollars have been unfrozen. that money hasn't hit the economy he had, but it could apparently soon. we were just in the bazaar area, right in the heart of iran, the commercial center of therefore city, and people were already talking about stocking up their inventory. they are expecting more tourists to come. i was probably the only american. i was certainly the only american i saw in the bazaar area. people came up to me and said we hope more americans come. we want to do business, so definitely a mood of hope. >> richard, you point out logical reasons why the people there would be encouraged, but what is the government telling its own people? >> reporter: well, the president rouhani gave a national address and he said that this was a victory for iran, a victory for revolution. he said it was also a win-win and that all the countries

deal with the exception of what he said were warmongers in the region, israel, and what he called extremists in washington which many here interpreted as a reference to donald trump and some of the other republican candidates. >> richard, thank you so much. >> and let us now move to iran's neighbor iraq. right now iraqi forces are scrambling to find a group of americans who disappeared over the weekend in baghdad. iraqi officials say the u.s. nationals were kidnapped from their interpreter's home, that according to the associated press. the americans were apparently taken to sadr city where all communications and contacts stopped. the u.s. embassy confirms that several americans have gone missing in iraq and the say they are working to locate them. here at home. brutal cold is blanketing a large section of the east with more than 52 million americans under warnings and advisories. dylan is here with the details. we still have a big crowd because it's a holiday, but they are all bundled up obviously.

were happy to see a little bit of snow. it hasn't been cold enough in new york for snow. >> it's win thor. >> it's winter and finally feels like it. do have the windchill advisories in effect through the midwest and northern plains stretching all the way through great lakes and even into parts of virginia and southwestern pennsylvania. 21 million people are under the advisories with windchill warnings in this area. we will see windchills about 25 to 40 degrees below zero. currently right now, it feels like 26 below in minneapolis. next tends all the way down into charleston, west virginia, where it feels like 5 below. as we go into this evening, temperatures will steadily decline through the day in the northeast where by this evening it's only going to be in the 20s with your feels-like temperatures well down into the teens, and then tomorrow morning bundle up. it is going to be 12 below in minneapolis. most areas back in chicago and the midwest starting off in the lower single digits and it's here to stay. it will take until about thursday before it warms back up. >> again, we should expect this. >> it is january, yes. >> dylan, thanks very much. let's talk about that

the top of the show, a rough landing for a spice "x" rocket. company founder elon musk posted it on his instagram page or successfully launching a climate monitoring satellite, the rocket landed on a floating barge in the pacific but a support leg broke and the rocket toppled over and exploded. musk wrote in his instagram post that ice buildup may have been to blame. he even joked at least the pieces were big they are time, that's because the company's two previous ocean landing attempts in 2015 were also unsuccessful. two people were killed after severe weather swept through florida on sunday. there were reports of at least two tornadoes on the gulf coast. you can see the roofs were completely torn off buildings there and downed power lines left thousand of resident in the dark. there was damage on florida's east coast as well as in cocoa beach, the icon inbeach wave

somehow look closely, the shark remained unscathed, sharknado. >> i know a little bit about that, thanks. let's talk about a college basketball player now who is in trouble this morning for what he did during a game on sunday. oregon state taking on utah. the beavers forward jam aol reid strips the ball away from a utah player and falls to the ground. watch what happens next. he sticks out his foot and trips the referee tommy nunez who was running up the court. apparently reed was mad there was no foul on the play. he was eject the from the game and the pac-12 conference is now reviewing the incident. by the way, utah went on to win 59-52. you don't do that. >> you don't. >> with a referee. >> you don't do that to anyone, let alone the person who can control your destiny on the court. crazy. >> you don't stay on the court very long when you do that. >> dylan is back now with a check of the local weather. >> we do have a little bit of snow still falling through eastern massachusetts making things a little slippery for your morning commute and then

through michigan, western new york and eastern ohio too. looking for the temperatures to make a feel-like 25 below zero through minneapolis and upper mom, dad. >>son. now that fedex has streamlined our e-commerce and helped us grow our business, i think it's time we start acting like a business. >>okay... here we go... >>oh, look at this... ok, so number one. no personal items are permitted in the workplace. ...so those will need to come down. we'll be doing some mandatory testing. and there's also a strict no dating policy. >>uh, but honey, we're married. that's going to be a problem. grow your business with the online shipping tools from fedex. tonight, but we will start a warm up tomorrow with a chance of snow tracking in. we still have the wind chill warnings and advisories posted for the entire area this morning as wind chills are running anywhere from 19 to 30 below zero. stormtrack7 live

there's no one road out there. no one surface... no one speed... no one way of driving on each and every road. but there is one car that can conquer them all. the mercedes-benz c-class. five driving modes let you customize the steering, shift points, and suspension to fit the mood you're in... and the road you're on. the 2016 c-class. lease the c300 for $399 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment.

turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. are you powered by protein? we are. milk has 8 grams to help give you energy to unleash your potential. start every day with

governor terry branstad's budget recommendations for the upcoming year do not include money for the bullying prevention center he created. that's the center for violence prevention at the university of northern iowa. it requested $250,000 -- and was given the job of managing the prevention. a branstad spokesman says the governor expects the center to be funded through money going towards the board of regents. now, let's go to eileen with a look at weather. still bitterly cold today with highs barely getting above zero and chills staying 15 to 30 below today, 10-20 below tonight tuesday morning. light snow tracks in on tuesday afternoon

morning, january 18th, 2016. a look at the martin luther king king memorial in washington, d.c. on this day that is named in his honor. >> absolutely. very beautiful image. mean while, inside studio 1a, here's a look at today's headlines. the democratic candidates for president clashed in their final debate before the iowa caucuses. last night the biggest duels coming between hillary clinton and bernie sanders over the nation's health care system. >> for breaking the law. >> there are things i think we can do it, but to tear it up and start over again, pushing our country into that kind of contentious debate i think is the wrong direction. >> we're not going to tear up the affordable care act. i helped write it, but we are going to move on top of that to immediate care for all. >> in the new nbc news/wall street journal poll, clinton holds a 25-point lead over sanders nationally, but they are neck and neck in iowa and new hampshire. three americans released as part of a prisoner swap with iran are in germany this morning resting and receiving medical evaluations. one of them a reporter for the "washington post" had been

months, another a pastor from idaho had been jailed for three years. and the nfl is down to its final four. in the afc the peyton manning-led denver broncos will face off against tom brady and his reigning super bowl champion new england patriots. the matchup in the nfc -- i'm looking at dylan because i said patriots and she smiled. meanwhile the matchup in the nfc, the carolina panthers and arizona cardinals. next sunday's winners, of course, advance to super bowl 50. dylan, get ready. >> who do you like in the manning/brady matchup? could be the last time we see the weather. >> don our weather producer is a huge fan and on my fold they are morning he made sure i was aware the pats are going. >> going to be a big one. also this morning, sean penn speaking out for the first time about his controversial interview with notorious drug lord el chapo, an interview that the oscar winner is calling a failure. nbc's jacob rascon is in mexico city with that story. jacob, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. actor sean penn says his article is popular all around the world for all the wrong reasons, only to defend what many called a

leader of a drug cartel. this morning actor sean penn stands behind what he calls his experimental journalism with joaquin "el chapo" guzman. but he admits -- >> let me be clear. my article has failed in that everything that's spoken about is everything but what i was trying to speak about. >> reporter: interviewed on "60 minutes," penn said he hoped to get people talking about the war on drugs by focusing on el chapo, the man. >> you've got to look at this person as a person. if all we aim to understand is that this is a very bad person, then let's not understand anything else. >> reporter: penn admitted he doesn't fully understand why guzman agreed to be interviewed. he was stunned the drug lord would risk meeting him.

from the conversation that was had, he in several ways wanted to be on the record. >> reporter: penn also challenged the suggestion that his secret interview led mexican authorities to el chapo. >> nobody found him before they did. we're not smarter than the dea or the mexican intelligence. >> reporter: meanwhile, mexican actress kate del castillo who introduced the two posted this picture on social media with the caption "do you really think i was stressed?" it was later deleted. and while many wonder if el chapo can escape a maximum security prison for a third time, the head of the prison system says they have learned from their mistakes. today we have four times more cameras, sensors on the floors, 24-hour guards, new guards and metal detectors and all high priority prisoners are moved

as the "new york times" reports guzman's attorneys is fighting extradition to the u.s. saying he can't possibly get a fair trial in the u.s. because americans are hostile to mexicans. their evidence/ -- >> they are not sending their best. the evidence, republican candidate donald trump. mexican officials continue to see guzman and president obama and the mexican president spoke on the phone congratulating each other on recapture and the possibility that he may finally face justice. matt? >> all right. jacob, thank you very much. interesting the new policy in that prison where they keep now moving these prisoners to different cells. so if you want to try to tunnel in, you risk the possibility that you could come up in someone else's cell. >> and it would be beyond an embarrassment if it happened again and it's likely not going to happen. now to the police

suggesting an oscar boycott because among the nominees for this year's best actors, there's not a single person of color. at the oscars people of color are always welcome to give out awards, she tweeted, but we are rarely recognized for all artistic accomplishments. should people of color refrain from participating all together? twitter has erupted with the same question using the the #oscarssowhite to shame the oscar's diversity this year's host chris rock treating, the oscars, the white b.e.t. awards and golden globe don cheadle iwards chris, check me out at the oscars this year. they have me parking gas at "g" level. 93% of the academy was white in 2013. a 2015 analysis found that more than 23% of those asked to join that year were people of color. >> stick with us. we're still working very hard

to bring in more inclusion. >> reporter: straight out of compton executive producer will packard took to facebook to applaud recent attempts to bring more diversity but explained in 2016 it's a complete embarrassment to say that the heights of cinematic achievement have only been reached by white people. >> are you pissed? >> i'm not surprised, you know what i mean. it's the oscars. you know, they do what they do. >> reporter: for jada pinkett smith it's personal. her husband will smith unrecognized for his role in "concussion" and joined "beast of no nation's "consider and michael b. jordan as a few of this year's most talked about omission but will viewers boycott academy awards. osas theos the #ol creator april reign. >> we're not announcing what we'll do but there will be alternative programming for 2016 during the academy awards presentation. >> the academy did not respond to our requests for comment.

instagram, best actors and actresses jada pinkett smith inviting hosts and entertainers and presenters who are african-americans, just don't nominate them and one more message from instagram. they snuff all black movies and black actors and then hire a black guy to host so that we don't look racist. we see you, oscars. part of this is racial but some of it is cultural, too. if you're a 70-year-old white guy voting for the oscars you don't understand why a f-mow like "straight out of compton" is important and meaningful to younger people, white and sglak but if you're a 70-year-old white guy voting for the nominations you know the "rocky" story from years ago and just because it's mostly a black story line now, why would you not recognize it? >> and performances should be across racial lines, not "straight out of compton." >> hard to explain, really it. willie, thanks very much.

clocks in at 1,200 calories and 80 grams of fast. we could do way better than that. when you prepare them at home my version, i'm calling this the joy version, is only 416 calories for a hearty portion and here's how you make them. you start with lean pork tenderlines and slice it is into thin strips and skewer it, these are our bones, right and you'll marinade it in your favorite barbecue sauce just five to six minutes on the grill, that's it. so huge savings. if you were to do this once a week, at the end of the year you would save yourself more than 40,000 categories which is the equivalent of 82 pounds of pork tenderloin which we're going to be donating throughout new york city to soup banks and to -- soup kitchens and food banks. >> and if we make this swap how does it help sally, what's the imsnakt. >> she's going to drop 12 pound. more energy to play with her kids, feeling real inspired and

>> again, most people love burgers. when you get a craving for a burger, what are you consuming? >> about 600 calories because the majority of time you're making it with fatty ground chuck. instead, you're going to elevate your burger by using a combination of lean ground poultry, either chicken or turkey combined with black beans. this is one of the coolest strategies. you increase your plant-based protein and lower the call gris from 600 to 275, and can you follow any recipe. >> do you this all year, maybe once a week. what do you save? >> more than 50,000 calories which is the equivalent of 120 cans of beans. pretty cool, and, again, being donated right after that. i love this. >> let's go back to sally. >> she's doing two tips now. now loses another 15 pounds so she is down a total of 27 pounds from two simple tips. you like fried chicken? >> these are two of my favorite things, ribs and fried chicken. all right.

how much is that costing me in terms of calories and fat? >> 680 calories from a piece of fried breast and a fried thigh, . here's how you make unfried chicken in a snap. you take skin less thighs or breasts and you dunk them in some egg, coat them with whole grain bread crumbs seasoned up. and you put them in a very hot oerch oven, 450 for about 15 minutes and you have crispy unfried chicken. this works for fish as well. you save 54,000 calories. the equivalent of 100 pounds soft chicken. of chicken. are you ready for sally? a total of 43 pounds lost. let's look at her before and after together.

with 40 megs of internet speed from centurylink, a family of four can all be online at the same time, streaming, gaming, or downloading movies. yeah, the internet's great, but i think hair and makeup went a little too far. yeah, that's not working. i much prefer the two-day beard, horn-rimmed glasses, just-slept-in-his-car kinda thing. yeah, i miss the rumpled crazy uncle look. okay. be "paul giamatti." that's the essence of this role. feel like a hollywood insider with high-speed internet from centurylink. we are back now at 8:40 with jillian michaels. >> she's giving the world an inside look at her life on the new reality show just jillian on our sister network e. this is a decision not to be

life to be exposed by putting cameras everywhere. >> my lawyer suggested it. i was telling him a story about how my partner heidi had ordered chickens in the mail and i had to go to the post office and pick them up and there was a chicken missing. he was like your life is absurd, you should do a show. as it kind of marinated i thought it would be hilarious. here we are. >> i'm obsessed with your kids. even though they're not the focus of the show, they are the stars. >> they are. the kids are quite honestly very used to being about cameras. they were on the cover of people magazine the first week they came into our lives. so they're not on it that much, but when they are, you can't help by being mesmerized by them

>> were there any ground rules? did you set anything off limits? >> no. i've always been a very open book. we try to deal with on the show the same issues that families are dealing with in their work, in their personal lives. it's funny, it's heart felt. hopefully you will be entertained. >> it is entertaining. you talk about the juggle of home and business, which is a big part of who you are. >> i think we all deal with that, though. you deal with that and every other person i talk to tried to find that perfect balance. i don't think we ever quite find it. it's all about the comedy of errors that occur as we struggle to do that. >> how many years were you on biggest loser? >> ten maybe. >> did people walk up to you on the street and add for advice about losing weight? >> they absolutely do. you see a little bit of that on the show.

that's a real honor to feel like you were a part of someone's journey toward a better life. i wouldn't change that for the world. >> you're still willing to give great advice on how to conquer lose weight and getting healthy. >> i try. should i give a tip? listen to joy. that was a good tip. don't eat that stuff. >> one of the things i think is nice about this new show is i think people are used to seeing the hard driving, tougher side of you and i think on the show you're going to see the softer side of you. >> you see all sides. we all love a box and a lane and putting someone in a category. the reality is as human beings we're multifaceted. we make mistakes. we grow, we evolve. we can be soft, we can be hard. there's definitely some intense moments when it comes to my work

come in as the cleaning crew. there's a little of everything. >> we look forward to it. jillian, good to see you. catch just jillian on e tomorrow tonight. up next, how to hang, fold and store anything. >> sounds easier than it is.

but, first, this is back now at 8:45. many of us have resolved to get organized and declutter in 2016. once you've started, what do you do with all that stuff? elizabeth mayhew is here to show everything. it sounds so easy, you think i can do that. but it can really be overwhelming. there's a trick to everything. >> once you get it set up, i promise you your life will be so much better because you will be able to get out the door faster. you're going to feel better

>> i told you i just did my closet. how is your closet at home? >> my closet is organized. but it does take upkeep. every few months i go through and get rid of the things i'm not wearing. first, you've got to get rid of the wire hangers. they don't keep the shape of your clothes that well. and the plastic keeps in all of the chemicals they use at the dry cleaners. get rid of those and invest in good hangers. go to a place like the container store. i do love the huggable hanger. it's very thin. it's amazing how you will maximize your storage space. plus the velvet grips the clothes. you want to put clothes like jackets and blazers on a nice wooden hanger. and if you have a long storage space, the best way to store

it keeps the crease. no wrinkles. >> do you color coordinate? do you separate shirts skirts and all of that? >> long sleeve shirts here, short sleeve and separates below. color coordinating is really nice. think about a store you walk into. most stores are color coordinate coordinated for a reason. >> scarves and things like that. >> let's talk about folding. not everything gets hung. sweaters should be folded. they're going to lose their shape on a hanger. a great way to fold is use this flip fold. this is what they use in stores. one, two. as you fold this part up like

lift your thirty. it's perfect. the other thing that i love with something like t-shirts, rather than making a stack, put them in a drawer like this. most people do not know how to fold a fitted sheet. >> it's impossible. >> it's not impossibly. put all the elbows together and flip them in on itself. you have a nice l shape. put it down like that. now you've got a rectangle. and you can pretty much go anyway you want, crease it down. >> that's like a magic trick. >> the other thing about storing while you work on this situation, is once you have that folded, a great way to store

set inside of a pillow case. that way the whole set stays together. then you put it in your linen closet and you're good to go. stick your hands out. hold these. you're going to go inside. see the elbow to elbow. >> this is mystifying. >> now slip this elbow and put these inside of that one. i do feel like a magician. >> there's no way. this is what i do. >> lastly, i love to use these labeled canvas boxes especially for things that are out of season like bathing suits. you throw those in. and things that you're not using frequently you put up on the top shelf like bathing suits. and put the things you're using more frequently like hats and gloves and switch it out. i'm going to have you work on

i promise you there's going to be a day when you can do this. >> thank you so much. and she's posted more tips on today.com/style. up next, we're dusting off the slow cooker for a week of recipes guaranteed to make your life easier. the only way to fold this is with someone.

all right. we're back now with today's food. this morning we're kicking off a week of slow cooker recipes to take some of the stress at planning a meal and preparing a meal. katie quinn is the host of the youtube channel cue katie. good to have you back. >> good morning, matt. >> joy just told us to get rid of fatty meat and this is a great recipe because you can make it meat-free. >> you can make it with chicken as well. >> got a couple of hacks to make things easier starting with garlic. >> always a pain to like peel the garlic gloves. easy-peasy. put it in two metal boys and then you just shake. >> does that really take the shell off? >> my buddy todd coleman showed me this trick and i did not believe. even after like two seconds. do that for three more seconds and you're good. >> cutting cherry tomatoes. this is ingenious.

sliced cherry tomatoes and it's hard to do it as once. put them in two plastic containers, long chef night, check it out. >> chickpeas, a little tip for people. >> save the chickpea liquid. after you drain it, you would put that down the drain, right. >> no. >> this is like liquid gold. it's a vegan egg replacement in baking dishes and i promise you cannot taste benz in your docking. >> sounds grade. back to the ingredient force the this dish you're going to make and this is a chicken vegetable curry stew. >> yeah, and it's delicious and healthy. >> take a look at what we've got here. not too many ingredients. >> and the spices, the curry powder and coriander and cinnamon give it such nice depth of flavor. >> and we mention this is slow cooker week here so this is really easy to prepare in advance. talk about what we're going to do. >> the best thing about all slow cooker dishes like dump and stir and then your job is done so if

carrots, green beans, onions and potato, just dump those all in and don't let anything go to waste. if have you a vegetable in your fridge about to go bald, don't throw it out, upon it in the dish, no biggie. >> what's next? >> our spices. >> throw that? >> all of it. >> what is in there. >> this is tapioca, quick acting tapioca powder, thingsen it up. >> gives it the consistency, red pepper flakes, corando, kir and a bit of cinnamon and then we're going to give it a little misaki, misaki like that, and then our chicken thighs. you want to help me grab those. >> you can go meatless. if you don't want to put chicken in here just forget it. >> absolutely. >> or put cauliflower inside or tofu, whatever you like. >> okay. >> want to grab your vegetable broth and put that over it and our job is done. >> that's it. >> it's as easy as that. >> that sits and slow cooks for how long? >> on lote eight to nine hours.

time, four to five hours on high. >> let's talk about what it looks like when it's finished. >> how good does this dish smell? >> the smell is uncybill, really is. >> so we've go the our vegetables, got our chicken which by the way should probably be really tender and almost fall apart on its own. >> how do you top it? >> last thing is to add the diced tomatoes, canned diced tomatoes and do the slice the cherry tomatoes as a garnish on top and mix that in and let it sit for five minutes, that's all and then it's ready to serve. >> take it out ander is of it here. what's this? >> this is a cucumber raida and i like to top with this, a nice creamy texture topped with parsley and cilantro. katie quick with a slow cooker dish that's certain to please. thank you very much. appreciate it.
