the wealthiest americans that everyone said cannot pass this congress. why is he going this route? >> i think what the president is saying is that middle class economics that we pursued since 2009 got us to where we are. peter just talked about it. more and more americans are feeling satisfied or better about the economy. there is work yet to be done. that's what he wants to talk about tonight. we all want a series of middle class tax cuts. >> but dennis it can't pass and nobody says it can pass. people say it's dead-on arrival. isn't it a maneuver or trap to get republicans in a bad spot as the 2016 election approaches? >> matt the president ran his last campaign. he is saying that any tax reform ought to make sure it benefits the middle class and we ought not avoid the working families who have seen over the last

women and their daughters who participated in the dove hair campaign to find out more about their hair struggles. >> it gets in my face a lot. it's curly and bouncy and puffy. >> i would have to sort of damp it and brush through it. >> even at an early age, their curls are a hot topic. jewel and asia are 6 and 12 and karina age 6 are aware of their curly hair. >> i at least touch it and pull it like this and do this. >> do you think it looks better straight? >> i feel it's easier to do and looks better. >> it's a love-hate relationship their moms are well aware of. >> she said i want it straight. it's too poofy. >> she used to give me a hard

time letting me leave her hair loose. >> both moms and daughters took part in a dove hair campaign all about curly hair and we were with them when they watched the campaign for the first time. >> do you like your hair? >> no. >> you don't like your hair? >> i want my hair to be straight because when you have your hair straight it's really smooth. >> do you think that's more beautiful? >> yeah. >> it doesn't really feel good to have curly hair. i try to make it straight but it doesn't work. i try to do this. but it doesn't work. >> sometimes i just wish i could rip it out, but i'm not going to do that. >> i think about my hair that i don't want it anymore. >> what did you think when you saw that? >> sad. upsetting of course to see that. >> there so many girls out there and even women that feel less

confident with their curly hair. >> elizabeth and claudia realize they set the tone for how their daughters feel about themselves and their hair. >> the majority of the time i wore it straight. it was an eye-opening experience. i wear it mostly curly now. i realize i'm her number one role model. what we portray as mothers carry on. >> they hope to be part of the solution encouraging their girls to love their hair and love themselves. >> what do you tell your girls? >> i think they are beautiful. they look beautiful and i want them to be confident with their curls. >> her hair is what's gorgeous and shiny and beautiful and curly. i love it. >> if you look at yourself now, what do you say? >> it's still puffy, but it's still pretty. the curls are really, really curly. i love it. it's yours.

so be you. >> so why does it seem so many women and young girls are so focused on their curls? child psychology jenna is here and psycho therapist nicky walton blogs about women and hair. you see the gorgeous girls in the campaign. they have problems with their hair. they are so perfect and beautiful. where does this come from? >> we know that image of beauty comes from mothers or parents to their daughters and comes from the media. we know there is an image we are trying to project that straight and sleek is what's normal and seen as beautiful. that gets passed down and the girls get stuck there. >> straight hair is the standard of beauty period. >> is it? >> it truly is. there would not be a campaign like this if it was not necessary. there wouldn't be websites like mine if this was not necessary. our hair does not look as

acceptable and professional in its natural state. that's crazy. this is needed. totally needed. >> you were a young girl who grew up not loving your hair. what changed for you? >> i went to a college far away from my hometown. i had no access to hair care. i hated my hair. i wore it straight all of my life. the moment that i got away from the curling iron and the flat iron i didn't know what to do. my self esteem plummeted. my boyfriend, now husband said you are a psychology major. i'm a psycho therapist now. you are going to need to look at this. this is not healthy. i started exploring and eventually embraced my curls and started a website to help other women to make it easier and give us a platform to come together and inspire etch other. we need that. >> it is about the role models whether you are a mom and it's the women in your life giving you the messages. >> i would like to say it's not

just women. the more people in your life moms dads aunts uncles are saying embrace this part of you. girls are seven times more likely to embrace that part of them. that leads them to be confident. >> i wanted blue eyes and blond hair growing up. embrace the difference. >> that's a slight difference too. for a lot of women it's the grass is only greener. with highly textured hair it's more than that. there is psychology there. the more special stigma that we have to fight through. >> jennifer and nicky, thank you both. we want you to celebrate your curly looks. share your photos with with #curlpower. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

. >> denying the competition keeps heating up. two more competitors were sent packing. shawn johnson and lorenzo lamas. >> if you would have stepped up and done what you said you would have blown them away and wanted it. you didn't step up. shawn. you're fired. you are just not willing to bring two people back.

is that right? >> that's right. >> lorenzo, fired. >> shawn and lorenzo, good morning. your birthday yesterday and yours today. happy birthday you're fired. thanks mr. trump. >> yes. nice birthday gift. he wanted you to step up and be project manager. you said in the episode, i'm trying to bide my time and fly under the radar. is that a mistake? >> it could have been. i don't think i would have change anything. i was the youngest on the show. i was learning so much. i honestly -- it's a hard show. it's a lot of strong personality. i don't know if i could compete with them and i don't know if i wanted to. i was trying to stay nice. >> so was lorenzo. it was a classy move. you were on the chopping block and refused to bring two others back to the board room. he had no other choice. >> the responsibility lies with the project manager.

unless it's a blatant mistake, you have to take responsibility for it. i'm glad i stepped up. i'm glad i had the experience of doing the show to bring attention to the charity that i played for. >> shawn, you are playing for character counts in iowa. it's good on both counts. >> yeah. >> you stayed nice and not everyone did. good to s good morning. i'm chris kato. clouds have moved in now. let's get your first alert forecast with meteorologist bill henley. bill? >> limited breaks in the clouds. a little break in the pocono mountains and the view from big bear is a cloudy one. mostly cloud and 25 degrees in the mountains.

oh please. >> patriots beat the you know what out of the colts 45-7. the claim here is that the patriots provide 12 balls for the game deflated them ever so slightly to give an advantage to tom brady on the ballot weather conditions. it's easier to grip and throw when it's wet if the ball is defleeted. we don't know yet but there is an information as they go to the super bowl. >> that would not change the out come of the game. they would be fined or lose a draft pick if it's proven to be true. >> bill belichick and there is history there. >> the coach of the ravens accused them are a bizarre substitution. they have tricks with a lot of

teams. >> one assumes they have the ball at some point. >> cindy born writes for the sports blog and said they are particular and superstitious about the balls and each brings their. >> don't the rest check the ball for that? >> yeah. >> they make the argument that there was a pin that deflated it. it hadn't been checked. >> here's tom brady when asked about it. >> would you care to weigh in. >> i think i've heard it all at this point. >> that's it. >> go long, jerry.

>> nice. >> that's good with the count. >> bill belichick. >> the camera here. >> and jerry. >> it was remarkable. anyway, you are up to speed and all things happening on the world on deflate gate. of course they will block. >> all right. >> there is controversy over number one box office movie this weekend. american sniper. you probably read about this. michael moore tweeted out with a series of tweets. my uncle killed by sniper in world war ii. we were shot snipers were cowards and they are not heroes. he never actually tweeted the word american sniper.

he was randomly tweeting about snipers. >> he went on the facebook page and praised bradley cooper's performance in the film and the film's antiwar sentiment. seth rogen adding to the controvercy we this tweet on sunday saying american sniper reminds me of a movie showing ingloerin "inglourious basterds"." it is glory or antiwar film. it's more about the legacy of all of the troop when is they come home from war and having to readjust and what they are dealing with to assimilate back to normal lives. not in a normal frame of mind. >> i've seen the movie twice and i'm not sure what is pro war.

it's hell when you are there and it's hell when you get home. >> from the first scene he has to decide whether or not he is going to shoot a young boy. this is not what i signed up for. when i interviewed clint eastwood, he is very antiwar and he said this is a love story and about a family and what war does to families. # >> whatever you want to take from it. >> at this man's funeral, people lined the streets in the rain and cold to salute him and thank him for his service to this country. chris kyle, his wife, they sacrificed so much and she continues to sacrifice. can you imagine what that is like for her? it's capturing his life and what he did, but she has to relive this as a widow.

michael moore, the whole notion of tweeting things and then pretending or whatever you want -- i'm one of those you said it own it kind of people. you deal with it. every action as a consequence. to say i wasn't talking about that. michael moore whether you like him or not, smart guy and brilliant filmmaker and exposed a lot of what was happening in the auto industry. you can't take that from him. to say i just randomly -- what is that? stop it. knock it off. >> toothless tiger. >> i'm fired up. we saw this picture. he was in disguise and we saw this picture. i thought maybe he had licorice

or chocolate will color out your tooth. no, it turns out tiger woods lost a tooth. a photographer, they were in italy to see his girlfriend, lindsey vonn and photographers rushed the scene and someone knocked out tiger's tooth. the camera knocked out his tooth. what i love about this he didn't leave. he was there for lindsey, tooth missing and all. >> they were talking about that. >> on the ground. >> is that a cap? you are in pain. it's shooting pain. >> you read the story and you had a security detail as he does. they didn't see that happen at any point? there was no big brouhaha.

it may well have happened and i believe it did, but it was a mysterious moment that lindsey said he keeps wearing that stupid scarf. >> he looks like a cat and not like the next one where you lose a tooth. >> call us and let us know. the mystery of the tooth. >> this is dedicated to our doctor friend. had the middle of the program, she said i'm feeling angry. it's a combination of angry and hungry. we got a new app called hangry that offers a solution. >> i have breakfast at 4:00 a.m. and by the time we start our show together, i'm blind with hunger. you have people don't need. >> feeling a little sorry for

them. >> this wasn't an accusation. seriously. i have always loved the word. >> according to research, i can put in how many people i am having lunch or dinner that are hangry with me and i believe about 60 minutes, my food -- >> you can determine what kind of food you are hangry for. i don't want thai this early in the morning. i love thai but here are my choices. a surprise pizza chinese. so is vote is surprise? >> surprise me! >> i love the hangry. pesto pasta. rigatoni with shrimp.

>> maybe this app when they get updated. they tell you what the time is. that might determine what you are hangry for. >> i love this. wtf. where's the food? they track your order. >> we have this delivered to us? even better. >> less than 60 minutes left in the show. on broadway which is not far. where do we get it from? >> for a while, the boys of summer with light snow coming across as the system moves through. first the that is bringing the snow to ohio. ed second drops down and that comes through bringing snow into the mid-atlantic states and the northeast. it's the weak system one to

three inches generally. could be isolated to six inches and good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. a cold start morning but the temperatures climbing into the upper 30s and low 40s. as they move the clouds move in. the winds will stay light today. clouds will be increasing tomorrow after a dry start. we'll see rain and snow develop in the afternoon and evening hours. looks like one to two inches for the philadelphia area but then it's done by thursday. high of 40 degrees. a bit chillier friday but the readings climb. saturday up to 44 degrees. have a great day. >> and that's your latest weather. >> a lot about a rebound in the housing market and record low mortgage rates. is it a good time to buy, sell or refinance. we have a quiz in rome, dinner means lingering over four courses in florence, celebrating the evening,

and in naples, there's always time for dessert introducing the new four course festa italiana starting at $13.99 from olive garden salad and breadsticks, an individual appetizer, one of six irresistible entrees, and a dolcini for dessert four courses starting at just $13.99 as they say in rome, georgia florence, south carolina and naples florida we're all family here. at olive garden. you give... and you give... and then you give some more. but sometimes you get. and so you take. tylenol® cold is strong enough for you while children's tylenol® is gentle enough for them. we give you relief from your cold and flu. you give them everything you've got. tylenol®. you know i tried one of those bargain paper towels but the roll just disappeared.

>> the last several years have been tough on homeowners. doorgd trulia, the housing market is 75% back to normal levels. mortgage rates have hit the lowest levels since 2013. the going rate for a 30-year mortgage was 3.66%. >> the question is is this the time to buy or refinance? we are waiting it out. here with a real estate quiz we have senior personal finance correspondent sharon epperson and mike aubrey. good morning to both of you. before we get back to this, get to this quiz break it down. what do you mean that the market is 75% back to normal and when does it get to 100%? >> if you look at peak levels from 2005, that's what you are

referring to. we are most of the way back, but not there yet. when is that going to happen? if i knew the answer, i would be sitting on a beach drinking something fruit we an umbrella in it. we are at least a year out from peak levels. 2015 will be pretty flat. >> why are rates as low as they are. are they going even lower? >> the falling stock prices and oil prices a lot of them have you worried about global growth. this caused a lot of people to get into bonds. bond yields have fallen and they are tied to mortgage rates. we have seen them fall over the last several weeks. we have more reports that make us worried about the health of the economy. lots of people think we could see rates fall either further, but how low will they go? no one knows and it's hard to pick the bottom. they are low and attractive to a lot of people. >> sitting on the beach.

you got this quiz for us. >> yes. the first question is if you are in the market to buy a house, should you lock your rate now or later? >> you said they are going down. >> you should do it now because you don't know how much they are going to fall. lock in the rate right now. you are still -- think about last year when you were at 4.5%. we are further ahead of the game right now. >> that's like being under the bridge trying to catch a falling knife. the out come is not going to be good. >> what town are you from? next question, mr. danger. >> if you are thinking about selling your home, should you do it now or later? >> agreed. 100%. inventory is very very low. i think if you want to sell your house, get it on the market now

and you are likely going to get more later as inventory starts to go up. >> you want to make sure you can get at least 20% of the equity or more so you can buy another home so you don't have to pay the mortgage insurance. if you are a renter trying to become a first time homeowner, should you buy now or later? >> this is why i say that. rates are great. most people who want to be a first time home buyer don't realize how much goes into it and how much they need to afford. it's much more than just mortgage rates. i say later just so that you have time to do your homework. rates are great and if you know you can afford the down payment and your housing costs will be less than 25 to 30% of your income. if you haven't done that, wait. >> to qualify later.

>> we will have to point that out. >> you are thinking about refinancing. now or later? >> absolutely. i agree. 100%. we are in a market place where -- sharon said it. i think that we don't know where the 10-year bond will go, but we are seeing money at a 52-week low right now and i don't see it going a lot lower unless people give it away for free. >> if you bought your house in the last couple of years and lower your rate by one percentage point and recoup the cost it will incur to refinance in the next year or two, it makes sense. otherwise you may want to crunch the numbers unless you will be in your house for a long time to recoup. >> it's a tie. >> up next, it could be much worse for your health than you thought. >> we will catch up with nick

>> you're not doing as much as her around the house. >> why do we sound like we're married? >> i love you, baby. >> and i you. >> the truth is that compliment for a man it's funny and we are simple in that way, a small little compliment, you'll get more -- if you're smart, you know how to work -- you got him on a remote control at this point. he'll start say, i got compliments i'll take out the trash. and you can get a lot more performance -- >> you have to do what's unexpected. for instance, my wife started doing some dishes a few days ago. she walked away. i jumped in and finished. >> that's awesome! >> she went upstairs. i jumped in. he came back the kitchen was clean. >> how long did you wait for your compliment? >> i got it right away, baby. >> one more from across the street. >> i just got engaged.

how involved do you guys actually want to be in the wedding planning? >> congratulations. >> how involved -- >> marriage terrifies me. so i don't know if i could answer that question. i don't even want to think about marriage let alone the planning of it. >> i was involved to the extent of how much is this going to cost us after the wedding day? if it's something where it's going to be a lot of debt that now we have to share, i'm like, don't go crazy -- but other than that, let me know where to be when to be there. >> i said, i'm going to forego any job here but please give a small job to my mother. give her something to do and then it will be fine and i won't have to do anything. and that's great. i don't want to do anything anyway. >> it's my wedding so i'm planning everything! >> if you want to submit a question for our panel, head to klgandhoda.com. boys, thank you.
