nonsense approach to the sport she loved, her sense of humor and her warm smile, "today," june 28th, 2016. good morning, everyone. welcome to our show on a tuesday morning. tamron in for savannah once again. such sad news about pat summitt. >> one person said she made you feel there was nothing to be afraid of. her legacy for women's sports, basketball, but overall college and what she did in upgrading and bringing attention to the game. >> we'll talk much more about pat summitt coming up. let us start with our top story. it's the presidential race and donald trump taking a closer look at one of his most controversial proposals banning muslims from entering the u.s.

we have new numbers. trump trailing hillary clinton by eight points, 49% to 41%. nbc's kristen welker has the latest on this. kristen, good morning. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. with donald trump lagging in almost every poll, his campaign is trying to turn the page beefing up his staff and now looking at the possibility of softening one of his most divisive policies. trying to get his campaign back on track, there are signs this morning that donald trump could be backing away from one of his most controversial positions, a ban on muslims entering the united states. one of trump's policy directors now telling t"the wall street journal" that trump would only suspend temporarily immigration from areas. overnight, his spokesperson denying there was any change in policy but acknowledging the need for more details. >> mr. trump is going to refine

his policy putting out more specific details which everyone has been asking for, but there has been no change. >> reporter: trump first announced the ban after the san bernardino terror attacks in december and planned to ban all muslims. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. >> reporter: the policy may have helped him win the primary but our latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll shows 49% of registered voters oppose the muslim ban indicating it could hurt him in the general election. this comes as hillary clinton is taking steps to further unify her party. in ohio on monday firing up democrats in her first joint appearance with senator elizabeth warren. clinton is eyeing warren as a possible vp pick. on monday there was no sign of

the policy dimpfferences that ud to divide them. they were not only color coordinated but in sync delivering a one-two punch against trump. >> what kind of man roots for people to lose their jobs and lose their homes and lose their life savings. i'll tell you what kind of a man. a small, insecure money grubber who fights for no one but himself. >> i do just love to see how she gets under donald trump's thin skin. >> reporter: now, trump land bla -- la blasted that event. he'll be campaigning for for the first time in the critical battleground state of ohio. secretary clinton will be in ohio where she'll unveil a new tech initiative. hillary clinton's e-mail scandal and her response to the 2012 benghazi attack are back in

the headlines and today her closest aide will be questioned under oath. nbc's andrea mitchell has the latest. good morning. >> dueling reports this morning. an issue donald trump has repeatedly raised during the campaign. the section of the 800-page republican report obtained by nbc news sheds new light on the breakdown in the military response to the benghazi attacks and the failure to have an evacuation plan. among the revelations, the report says 35 americans were saved not by local militias the u.s. thought were allies but fled but by former military officers from moammar gadhafi's regime. the dictator that the u.s. helped topple one year before. why was ambassador chris stevens

in such a dangerous police? >> chris chose to go to benghazi because he understood america needed to be represented there at the pivotal time. >> stevens was filling a temporary gap. most surprising, witnesses told the committee, stevens was also laying the groundwork for a visit by secretary clinton to benghazi the following month. a major focus of the report is a military failure to carry out orders from defense secretary leon panetta to deploy forces to benghazi and a force didn't get to tripoli until the next afternoon partly because of a previously reported failure to have airplanes ready but also because of conflicting orders from pentagon officials on whether marine should wear military uniforms or civilian attire because of diplomatic sensitivi sensitivities. one commander said during the course of three hours waiting on the plane, he and his marines

changed in and out of their uniforms four times. democrats on the committee have a sharply different view. even before seeing the republican report. democrats arguing the u.s. military could not have done anything differently on the night of the attacks that would have saved the lives of the four brave americans killed in benghazi. the democratic report acknowledges security measures in benghazi were woefully inadequate but blast the republicans report as a case study in how not to conduct a credible investigation. wasting, it says, more than $7 million of taxpayer money. today the clinton campaign continues to attack the committee's credibility calling it a partisan sham since its start. the highest ranking democrat on the benghazi committee tells nbc news this morning republicans didn't want them to check the report against the evidence that they had obtained. the state department insisting they made great progress for making posts safer since benghazi and one of clinton's closest aides is going to be questioned by a conservative

watchdog, judicial watch, in her role in setting up the private server. a lot more to come. >> thank you very much. let's bring in nbc news political analyst nicole wallace. nice to see you again. let's start with what andrea just talked about. the reports coming out of the house on benghazi and as a result on the e-mail server as well. hillary clinton's base made up their mind on this. donald trump's base made up their minds on this. how much impact in the middle? >> if you look at polls just out this week, hillary clinton lags donald trump on the question of honest and trustworthy and don't take my word for it. listen to hillary clinton on the stump yesterday where she gave pretty sober and straightforward explanation for why people might find her lacking in trustworthiness when she said i'm careful with my words not because i'm hiding something but because i'm careful with my words. it's a vulnerability. >> it's a vulnerability according to the polls but big

moment yesterday walking out on stage with elizabeth warren. i heard you this morning on "morning joe" saying you may break the internet with the comment but you compared elizabeth warren to sarah palin, someone know very well. >> hillary clinton and john mccain are sort of in the political word, steak and potatoes. substance. people who know how to govern. elizabeth warren like sarah palin pack arenas. >> you don't think she'll be the vp pick and you don't think she should be. >> i don't think she will pick her. we could be wrong. people who look at what hillary clinton's pick needs to satisfy don't think shoring up the far left flank of the party is her task come november. >> let us end on the subject of donald trump's change in stance on banning muslims entering the

country. is this an admission it works in the primaries and will not work in the general election? >> it's an admission that having a shoot from the hip, fly by the seat of your pants campaign is not going to get the job done come november. you still have republicans rebuking you week after week after week, you can't sign on donors, you can't sign on staff and you probably can't beat hillary clinton. >> nicole, thank you very much. good to see you. there's a new twist this morning in the crash of egyptair flight 804. french authorities opening a manslaughter investigation. nbc's bill neely has more on that for us. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, tamron. there's a strong chance that the mystery of flight 804 can be solved. the flight recorders were recorded two weeks ago. they were damaged but now they've been cleaned of sea salt and memory chips extracted and data from the final moments of the plane is on the flight recorder.

we're sure of it they say. they're now working on the memory chip of the cockpit voice recorder and then all that data will be analyzed in egypt. also as you say, french authorities now say there is no evidence of terrorism and they're not looking into that opening instead an investigation into involuntary homicide, an accident. remember, no terrorist group has said it bombed the plane. for the families of the 66 onboard, the agony is prolonged but they may know more to explain why their loved ones died. we want to go back to the video we showed you at the top of the show. a bp natural gas plant rocked by an explosion overnight in mississippi. there were two employees on duty at the time but they were in an explosion proof room. they were not injured. officials say residents who live nearby were asked to leave their homes as a precaution. an investigation into how that explosion occurred now under

way. to that sad news overnight that legendary women's basketball coach pat summitt has passed away. she coached the team to eight national championship in her 38 seasons. she was the winningest coach in division 1 college basketball history. summit was diagnosed with early onset dementia back in 2011 and stepped down after coaching the lady vols for one more season. that year she was the recipient of the presidential medal of freedom. her son tyler issued a statement saying his mother died peacefully in knoxville surrounded by those who love her most. pat summitt was 64 years old. >> women who play for her have nothing but incredible things to say about her. we want to talk about a consumer alert involving a very big recall. ikea recalling tens of millions

of chests and dressers. nbc's tom costello has been following the story for more than a year. tom, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the consumer product safety commission says every two weeks in this country a child dies under falling tvs and furniture and now ikea stopped selling a unit it says is especially prone to that. it's important. it's asking parents if you have one of these dressers or chests, stop using those unless they're anchored to the wall. the numbers are heartbreaking. every 24 minutes a child is injured from falling furniture or tvs. every two weeks, a child dies. this video from the consumer product safety commission shows how fast it can happen. now, one of the nation's biggest furniture retailers is announcing a major recall. 29 million pieces of ikea furniture most sold under ikea's malm name. >> children see something they're trying to get that's

been left on. they start to climb. the unit falls over. we've had deaths associated with these types of unit because of it and 33,000 emergency room vi visits a year. >> reporter: three deaths in just the past 2 1/2 years including a 2 year old who pulled his dresser down on himself. >> i didn't see him anywhere. i went over and kind of pulled everything apart and i saw the little top of his head trapped between the dresser and the edge of the bed. >> reporter: the dresser was not anchored to the wall. this morning ikea is asking anyone with a malm clhest or dresser to stop using it if it's not anchored to wall. they'll provide a full refund if customers return the furniture. >> we would like to ask as a customer to make sure that all chest of drawers are properly

attached to the wall. if not, take them out of the room. >> reporter: for the family now suing ikea, every day still brings heartbreak but the ikea recall is his legacy. >> this is the worst thing that's ever happened in our lives. >> reporter: a lot of families say their landlords if they're renting won't let them anchor something to the wall because they don't want holes in the wall but safety advocates say there's no excuse. you can patch the hole later. don't take a risk on your child's safety and they say if you can't anchor to the wall, bring it back to ikea. back to you. >> great information. tom, thank you very much. to the desperate rescue effort under way this morning to save a massive blue whale tangled in fishing line off the southern california coast. steve patterson is in los angeles with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: the young whale was spotted about four miles off the coast by people on a whale watching trip. rescuers made at least six attempts to cut the lines

attached to at that wha-- that whale but they were unsuccessful so today a team of experts will attempt again. a rescue is under way for a massive blue whale. a team of experts trying to figure out how to free the young whale tangled in fishing lines off the coast of florida. a crew on a whale watching cruise spotted the whale in distress. it's large tail caught in fishing traps meant for lobsters or crabs. they returned to the whale with a rescue team who worked to cut the whale free using a knife on the 25-foot pole. >> we got pretty close. i would say that we were within six inches. >> reporter: as dust fell, the whale disappeared into the sea. >> that's when the whale just decided that was it. he had enough.

he wasn't going to let us anywhere near it and just vanished. >> reporter: experts say it's rare for blue whales to get tangled in fishing gear because they don't usually search for good so close to the shore but noaa reports 40 entanglements since january. and officials are hoping that if the whale is found again, they can renew efforts to set it free. >> that's all we were really trying to do is get the worst of it all so that the whale had a chance. >> reporter: officials are now asking boaters to be aware and look for the whale today. the whale has a bright orange buoy attached to it along with two smaller buoys. tamron? >> steve, thank you. sad. >> mr. roker, a check of the weather? >> we have a little cloudy sky out here in the northeast and it's part of a system that's going to cause probably some airport delays throughout the northeast later today. you can see wet weather stretching from new england all of the way down into the mid-atlantic states all part of a front we have a risk of strong

back now at 8:09. when is the right age to break up with your pediatrician? you would think teenage years maybe. apparently for a lot of young adults today the answer is as late as possible. >> a growing number of millennials are sticking with their childhood doctors well into their 20s. is that a good move? >> we've been talking to young adults and they don't really see any reason why they should move on and to doctors who are increasingly seeing toddlers and millennials in the same office. >> the baby with the rash came in after me. >> reporter: the idea of grown-up patients sitting in a toy filled waiting room seems like a punch line on shows like "friends." >> rossi, we're ready for you. >> for 20 somethings like drew jackson, no patch adams jokes. >> why fix it if it ain't broke.

been patients who love their pediatrician because they've grown up with them and wanted to stay. i remember i still went to see my pediatrician when i came home from medical school. >> for most people it comes down to having a doctor you really trust with or without the lollipop. something else that could drive the trend under the affordable care act, people can still stay under their parents' insurance plan until the age of 26. combine that with shortage of general practitioners and many are just simply choosing to stick with a doctor they know and who know them best. matt? >> natalie, thanks very much. doc, good to see you. is there any real medical reason why you need to leave your pediatrician at the age of 21? >> that's a good question. that's really the million dollar question. i think the position of the three medical groups that have come together to give us a little bit of a recommendation on this is really that you want to ensure that people are

getting what we would think of as medically and developmentally appropriate care. a quick example would be age 21 you start cervical cancer screening for women. are pediatricians going to perform that function? >> are they trained for that? are they trained for patient care past the age of 21? >> right now strictly speaking pediatricians are trained to take care of people, including cholesterol and obesity and stuff you would think of as applying to adults until the age of 21. of course as natalie pointed out with the affordable care act, people are extending coverage with pediatricians and they can handle that. >> let's talk about other good reasons to change over. you're moving. >> if you think about 18 to 21, that fits nicely with your time that you go to college. maybe you're not coming home for breaks all the time. maybe your insurance is changing. that's another reason you might switch your insurance. 23 year old looking for a

pediatrician in all likelihood not. starting a family. i think that's self-explanatory. okay. and then needing a specialist. of course. if you have an autoimmune disease, and those doctors can perform the function of being a primary care doctor for you. >> it may seem like an obvious question when you go from a pediatrician do you go to primary care physician? >> there are two people under that umbrella. an internist which deals with adults or a family physician. i think family practice medicine is a really nice and appealing thing for a lot of people. they take care of people throughout the span of their lifetime from infancy into old age. also some ob-gyns can perform the function of a primary care physician. the take home is that just because you're graduating from high school or graduating from college, you're not graduating from medical care. we want to transition people

into continued health care with another provider. >> important information. thank you very much. appreciate it. now, let's get a check of the weather from al. >> what about dora band-aids? we're looking at showers off the eastern seaboard. we've got a little wet weather and monsoonal moisture out of mexico and that's going to bring showers there. look at these temperatures though from the southwest inland into california, temperatures well over 100 degrees. cool up near the great lakes and for today we are looking at a slight risk of strong good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. don't forget your umbrella. lots of clouds and chance of showers throughout the day. possibly some thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening hours. strongest storms in the suburbs and lehigh valley. for new jersey and the jersey

>> they grab your attention for sure. >> they make a point which a lot of people need to pay more attention to. >> we're looking at animation and stick figures and a lot of people think is it still goes too far. >> i think it's a big problem. >> i remember as a child in elementary school they showed us this video and we talked with a little bit who was amputated because of it and stuck with me for the rest of my life. i taught my kids. it's one of the things that stick with people. i don't know. >> in high school some of them bring in cars torn up as a result of a teenager driving drunk and park it in front of the school. >> in new york they run commercials about lung cancer. >> i think they're effective. >> i do, too. kids these days know how to work a smartphone. we know that. is that know how coming at the expense of other basic life skills. it looked at kids under the age of 5 and 58% can play a basic

the dredging station is simple. the crucial thing is i add some garlic salt and pepper to my breadcrumbs. what people don't realize they do so often is they forget to season every layer of their dish which is really important. you don't want just the top to be seasoned. you want every layer to be seasoned. and then you just dredge into the flour. dip into the egg, shake off excess and dredge in your bread dru breadcrumbs. you have perfect chicken cut le cutlets. light olive oil. sunflower oil. nothing strong like extra virgin because it will burn up and be terrible. >> how long does it take to cook? >> about two minutes on each side and that's it. what you do is once you have

your beautiful cutlets ready, layer them with your favorite marinara sauce. you layer your sauce. do a trio of cheeses. why not. it's a parm. at the end of the day we love that from the mozzarella. i love sharpness. >> this is going in the oven look at what temperature for how long? >> doesn't matter until everything is golden and bubbly. and that's what it looks like for a side of spaghetti. >> going to eggplant parm. >> no garlic powder and no breadcrumbs. get yourself a firm egg appellant and slice it nice and thin. i've done a terrible job. the culinary crew does an amazing job. no breadcrumbs.

you want salt and pepper your flour. >> i want to look downstairs. we have tasters talking about this all morning. >> we're loving it. so good. >> so good. this is how we do it in naples, italy. we don't do breadcrumbs. you don't want breading to compete with bread. you fry them until golden and crispy and that's what they look like. nice and thin. same thing, you layer. layer of eggplant, you have your parm and bake until golden bubbly. everything is cooked. you look for cheese to melt. probably will take a good 15, 20 minutes. >> can we show this here. who did portion control on that one? that is massive. >> you can do it like that or in subs. >> we'll dig in right after we

answer to that. >> i'm a fan and i don't know if i was before. >> i feel like i'm very fortunate. i feel like i have a lot of kid fans which is great. >> kid fans give it up for danica. i mean, there's been middle age men and i love when older people are big fans. that to me is a big compliment because they've been around a long type and seen a lot of people come through. but i think kids mean the most to me. if i'm busy at the racetrack, i at least try to make time for the kids and thankfully most people understand that. i only have time for kids right now. but that can change your day. i have to remember that when i have a bad day. >> think about the moment that is about to play out right now. we have hoda, natalie, matt and al in a showdown of epic proportions. are you guys ready? >> what are we doing? >> tell them what they're doing.

reaction than the one i'm currently having. i don't have a hip, cool reaction because seeing a woman i love like taylor swift, a woman i admire like rihanna reduced to a pair of waxy breasts made by some special effects guy makes me feel safe and unsafe and worried for teenage girls who watch this. went on to say kanye is cool. you can see there's some of the folks. that's the wide shot as it were. we reached out to kanye, taylor swift, their teams. they declined comment. i don't know. >> i guess it's based on a painting according to kanye. it's based on -- he says it's basically a comment on fame. the painting is sleep, which we have at the bottom. >> lined up. art is supposed to be controversial. >> gets you talking. >> talk about comment. >> lena dunham's artistry is

seen as controversial as well. her show "girls" something she created. i remember when "girls" started people commented there was no diversity and commented on the intimate scenes. art brings debate. i think that's kanye probably embra embraces lena dunham debating. it's also amber rose, his ex-girlfriend. the man who kim kardashian did the famous tape that many say is the reason she became famous. and kanye west said that this was not an endorsement of anyone's behavior or -- he wasn't looking at guilt or innocence with bill cosby being in there. it's a look at fame. like him or not, think about that row of people there.

>> the question though is if you don't -- okay, you're taylor swift or whoever. you don't have a choice in that. is somebody allowed to use your image without you giving -- >> she jumped a leap to say that she's concerned about safety of young girls. that's the treacherous territory. the fact about image kanye did tweet out someone sue me already. >> pulled that down. >> he pulled it down. i don't know. >> if kanye had done that of you or myself or natalie, how -- >> something with kim's wax figure. >> they don't care. she's been naked on everything. >> if we own it and -- >> i don't know what the law is. what are imaging laws? you have people who paint photos of folks all the time or paint

pictures, portraits, put them up. i don't know. i don't know. by the way, that's a good question. i don't know how i would feel. i would probably -- i don't know if i would care. i don't know if i would care. >> somebody trying to profit off your image without your permission is just -- i don't think kanye would want people pirating his music. >> is it like sampling your music without your permission. >> is it okay if i take your music and put it out as my own? >> this goes back to the weird al yankovic. >> he got permission from those artists. >> that's great point. >> that's the point. using people's images to make money and gain more fame for yourself and to do it in putting them in positions they may not want to be in. >> promote your message. >> that's where i draw the line. >> i think that's the problem. >> again, kanye, knock it off.

you're a talented man. >> again, guess what, we're talking about it. >> i think there is something to be said for that. >> maybe we should have a kanye-free zone. >> i don't think he needs to be banned. >> i'm not saying banned. let him do it. we don't need to talk about it. >> he's an artist. that's what we do. you can go down a litany of artists that we talk about in our society that have been controversial. i just read this great article on the impressionists talking about this huge debate of their art being rejected and seen as trash and now everyone is in a major museum. larger issue here is this is what we do. we talk about madonna when she first started out rolling around in the wedding dress and people thought it was the end of the world in tv. she is still one of the greatest. i don't know. we'll look forward to kanye putting you in the next video. let's move on. here's a question. when it came to picking your

children's names, did you reveal names to anyone beforehand? did you have them picked out before you saw the baby? >> yes. >> you did? >> i don't weigh in on other people's kids' names and we did not give anybody an option to weigh in. everybody has an opinion. >> my parents asked me straight out, what do you think you're going to name your kids? i remember saying should i tell them or should i not. i kind of need to see how it feels with them. i mentioned at the time names like taylor or hudson and my parents both were, like, what? nobody is going to know if that's a boy or girl. >> did you change your mind as a result? >> luke is luke hudson. it didn't affect me at the end of the day. it's my child. i can name my child whatever i want, okay. you may not like it. it's my baby. the reason we talk about this is a woman wrote to "the daily

mail" saying she was worried because baby names her daughter was considering like pixie rose, primrose bean. the columnist said -- the mother was, like, i'm worried that names are a little too cute. when she grows up she's stuck with two kucute names. the columnist said some names you don't weigh in on. >> our producer adam miller naming his daughter lebron james. >> she's cute. >> and the baby's middle name will be kanye. >> you brought him up again. you have the kanye obsession. starbucks yesterday we had the cheeto mac and cheeto. today we are going to bring into your life something at starbucks. it's an orange drink. i didn't know you could go to starbucks and they have a secret menu. i didn't know this.

unlisted drinks that you can order if you know to ask for them. so the latest, this secret drink has gone viral. it's simply known as the orange drink. it's orange, mango juice, vanilla bean powder, coconut milk and ice. >> it's like an orange julius. >> exactly. but with protein in it. >> is there protein? vanilla bean powder. this is orange julius. are they still open? >> i don't know if they are. >> we have so many questions. can you legally use someone's image and is orange julius still open. >> let's check your weather. >> that's got a lot of sugar. >> that's why it's so good. a front pushing through bringing showers and thunderstorms out of the northeast. you can see a risk of strong storms stretching from new england all of the way just to

the north of washington d.c. look for airport delays later this afternoon. the good news is, it will stay fairly dry in west virginia. no more flooding for additional rain thank goodness. that pushes through and then drier air moves in and a decent day although again some areas could pick up two to three inches of rain in new england and the front stretches down in the good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. don't forget your umbrella. lots of clouds and a chance of showers through the day. possibly thunderstorms as we go into the afternoon and evening hours. stronger storms in the suburbs and lee lhigh valley. a chance of thunderstorms in pepperton this afternoon. 82 degrees. look at the 70s for the shore. a bit warmer in delaware for dover and newark into the 80s. cloudy skies and chance of showers.
