computer problems force delta to ground all domestic flights overnight. they're back flying, but scrambling to make up hundreds of cancellations today, monday, january 30th, 2017. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning, everyone, welcome to "today" on a monday morning. hoda filling in for savannah this week. thanks for filling in. >> great to be here. what a busy weekend it was. >> and we're starting off with a busy week. let's get right to that breaking news overnight. there's been a deadly shooting at a canadian mosque during evening prayers. it is being labeled a terrorist attack. ctv news is at the scene in quebec city. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, matt. this morning two suspects are in custody after gunfire erupted at the islamic center here in quebec city.

it is an act that the canadian prime minister is calling a terrorist attack, and it has left six dead, eight others injured. fear and confusion after gunfire interrupts evening prayers at the quebec city islamic cultural center. paramedics rushing to the mosque filled with more than 50 worshippers when the shots started ringing out. in a statement overnight, canadian prime minister justin trudeau calling it a terrorist attack on muslims. adding it is heart wrenching to see such senseless violence. this morning police confirming two suspects were arrested shortly after the shooting. investigators say the motive of the attack remains unknown. it comes just days after president trump's controversial immigration ban sparked international outrage. the president's executive order prompting prime minister trudeau to tweet to those fleeing persecution, terror and war, canadians will welcome you regardless of your faith.

diversity is our strength. the premier echoing trudeau's message. >> we should work together, strive together with society. >> reporter: the quebec city mosque has been a target of hate before. last june someone left a pig's head during the muslim holy month of ramadan. this latest incident has authorities in the states beefing up security. we're told demonstrators will gather in front of the mosque tonight in support with the muslim community here. back to you, matt. >> thank you very much. and now to more on that growing outrage over president trump's controversial immigration order. demonstrations were held coast to coast last night but the white house is showing no sign of backing down. we have complete coverage from the white house to the airports and we're going to talk to senate minority leader chuck schumer. let us begin with nbc's peter alexander. peter, good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning to you. the criticism has been fierce.

this morning the white house is claiming the implementation of president trump's travel ban is, quote unquote, a massive success story, but the swift reaction from around the country shows a very different reality. overnight another surge of protests against president trump's controversial executive order. demonstrators at san francisco's airport met by riot police, capping off a weekend of massive demonstrations. including many at airports across the country and the streets around the white house. hillary clinton offering her support to demonstrators, tweeting this is not who we are. in the face of those protests, this assessment from team trump. >> what you're seeing is a small reaction from a small number of people. >> reporter: amid the chaos, president trump is defending his actions. the statement reading to be clear, this is not a muslim ban as the media is falsely reporting. this is not about religion, this is about terror and keeping our

country safe. but trump's argument is seemingly contradicted by one of his advisers, rudy giuliani telling fox news trump consulted him and others. >> when he first announced it, he said muslim ban. he called me up, he said put a commission together, show me the right way to do it legally. >> reporter: while trump's order bans refugees, migrants and foreign nationals from seven mostly muslim countries, the president points out 40 different majority muslim countries worldwide are not affected. >> it's working out very nicely. you see it at the airports, you see it all over, it's working out very nicely. >> reporter: a growing chorus of critics disagree. >> this executive order was mean-spirited and unamerican. >> reporter: even some republicans are urging caution. >> you have an extreme vetting proposal that didn't get the vetting it should have had. >> i think we should be careful. we don't have religious tests in this country. >> reporter: senators john mccain and lindsey graham slamming the move as a self-inflicted wound against terrorism. trump firing back accusing the two of always looking to start

world war iii. the reaction worldwide was swift. canada's prime minister tweeting this photo welcoming a refugee, said his country would take those banned by the u.s. iran's foreign minister attacked trump's order blasting it as a great gift to extremists and their supporters. late sunday the new head of homeland security insisted green card holders would not be blocked from returning to the u.s. white house officials backed up their boss, comparing trump's order to action taken by president obama in 2011 restricting visas to iraqi refugees after a threat. >> i can't imagine too many people out there watching this right now think it's unreasonable to ask a few more questions from someone traveling in and out of libya and yemen before being let loose in the united states. >> i think in terms of the upside being greater protection of our borders, of our people, it's a small price to pay. >> reporter: also fueling a fierce backlash, trump's

reshuffling of his national security council making chief strategist steve bannon a regular member while top-ranking intelligence and military officials will attend only when discussing issues per taping to their responsibilities and expertise. >> having the chief strategist for the president in those meetings who has a significant military background to help make -- guide what the president's final analysis is going to be is crucial. >> reporter: to be clear, bannon's addition to the national security council is unusual. advisers from the political side of the white house are generally not included in the meeting, certainly not on a permanent basis. president obama's former national security advisor, susan rice, put it bluntly on twitter calling president trump's move, quote, stone cold crazy after a week of crazy. the white house is also trying to tamp down another controversy after it failed to mention jews or the jewish mention by name in its statement on national holocaust remembrance day friday. aides here say they took into account all those who suffered, including the jewish people. hoda and matt.

>> peter alexander, peter, thank you. ari melber is nbc's chief legal correspondent and has the fact check on all of this. ari, good morning. let's talk about terminology. you hear people referring to this as a muslim ban? are muslims even mentioned in the executive order? >> that is the controversy, matt. we can show you this executive order does not mention muslims or islam by name. it uses countries. but experts say that in its effect, it will ban muslims from those selected countries and still allow in likely more christians. >> when you're talking about the refugees, ari, trump seems to be wondering what all this fuss is about, the demonstrations and all the court orders and all that stuff. we did talk about it in peter's piece, that president obama had done something similar back in 2011 when it came to iraqi refugees. so is there a difference here? >> there is a difference. this is all about basically donald trump saying, look, barack obama did this. when you look at that, what that was all about, though, was

slowing the vetting and the entry for iraqis because it was a war-torn country based on a specific threat. it was never a complete ban and it didn't involve those other countries. >> when you look -- president trump says this is about protecting us from terror brought in from overseas. if you look at the last 15 years and the terror attacks that have taken place on u.s. soil and you compare the sources of those attacks with the countries on this list, is there overlap? >> this is the most important point and probably the largest legal problem for the administration. the travel ban list is these seven countries. it is true that they have been cited in prior laws. it is not true that they were cited by the congress as a source of immigrant exported terror. that is very important. and to your question, matt, you can look at some of the largest attacks we've had on the home front in 9/11. 15 of the 19 from saudi arabia, 2 from uae, egypt and lebanon. other attacks a similar story. pakistani immigrants on

basically a basis of being a family member as well as that terrible orlando nightclub shooting, that was an american there born to afghan immigrants. so even when you look up the chain in the family, what we find here and what is an important distinction is none of these seven countries have actually sent people who have been involved in these deadly attacks. they were named for a different reason, matt. they were named as a place that were basically dangerous to visit when europeans on the visa waiver program were coming in, not as a place sending killers. >> thank you very much. joined now by senator chuck schumer. senator, nice to see you. >> glad to be here. >> everybody knew this was coming. democrats knew, republicans knew. anyone who paid attention to the campaign for the last year new that donald trump was going to do this in some form. you got very upset about this. is it the breadth of the order, the implementation of it, the message, what? >> yes. all of that. first, it was done in such a sloppy and careless way.

major agencies, the border patrol, customs didn't even know about it. there were major holes in it. it seems like back of the envelope. even for those who might be for this, and i am certainly opposed, the slap dash way it was done was appalling and created the chaos. much more importantly, this will make us less safe. john mccain is exactly right. it will encourage lone wolves here in america. they have created most of the terrorism. the biggest problems we've had with terrorism are not from these countries. in fact there's something called the visa waiver program which allows people from france or belgium, places where there are known terrorists to come in, no questions asked. i don't even get what they were getting at because they're not stopping terror, they're instead doing what is in effect as rudy giuliani said a muslim ban. now, that is against what america is all about. >> we set together on the day of the inauguration in washington a little more than a week ago. you said you thought it was crucial for democrats to be the bull work against some of the

things donald trump wants to do. not to sound like we're on the playground but what do you intend to do about it? >> i will ask for a vote to repeal this. senator feinstein has very carefully thought out legislation to repeal this. i hope mitch mcconnell allows that vote. already 11 republicans have spoken out against it. we should repeal this and then we should silt down in a careful, thoughtful way, figure out ways we need to tighten up things against terrorism. >> speaking out against it on the republican side is very different from them taking the next step. >> let's hope they'll do it because this is what america is all about. you know, yesterday i sat with two families. one, a brave man from iraq who had served as a translator and his life was threatened because he was translating for our soldiers. he came in january 5th. had the order been january 1st, he would have been dead. another family who had parents, grandparents were americans. suicide bomber blew up stuff in

front of their house because of their affiliation, their religious affiliation. they too could have been dead. this is a blanket ban, hurts innocent people and doesn't stop terrorism. it's just appalling. >> all of this happens as many of donald trump's nominees for key cabinet positions are still waiting action. i think only two of 15 have actually been approved. are you willing to connect the dots? >> yes. tonight another thing i will do is ask that they delay the nomination, the vote on mr. tillerson for secretary of state because when he was questioned in committee and asked about a future muslim ban, because we didn't know that it was occurring, he was very mealy mouthed so i'm going to ask for a delay. whether mcdonnell grants it is another thing. >> what about the other cabinet nominees. >> we're going to ask for every one. >> you're going to be told you're taking political hostages. >> aren't the american people entitled to know the positions of these cabinet people before they come in? >> real quickly, there is word

that president trump's pick for the supreme court could be announced as early as today or tomorrow. given what happened with merrick garland last year how messy is this going to get? >> we're not looking for pay back but we're looking for two things. number one, a candidate who will be in the mainstream. the last four nominees to the supreme court, two by a democratic president, two by a republican president got bipartisan support. >> has the white house reached out across the aisle? >> they have asked in general our views with nothing specific. >> senator chuck -- >> i told them we wanted a mainstream judge. let's hope and pray he listens. >> senator chuck schumer. nice to have you here this morning. thank you very much. >> why don't we bring in nicolle wallace and jerry bash. he served as chief of staff at the defense department and cia and is now an nbc news national security analyst. good morning to both of you guys. nicolle, let's start with you. donald trump said he was going to do these things in the campaign and, lo and behold, in

all the chaos he did do these things. were you surprised by what happened over the weekend? >> well, i think that matt hit the nail on the head. it was the implementation that destabilized sort of the political mood, which was already very, very shaky after donald trump's rather -- you know, i think steve kornacki said it was a political shock to the system. even if you are a widely enthusiastic supporter of a ban of immigration to these seven countries, it was implemented in a manner that is far less than methodical or sound. >> and less than 36 hours before implementing it, they had to roll back key elements so it seems they weren't prepared for the fallout. >> for all those people whose hair is on fire, it does aptly describe what's going on on windchi capitol hill, the checks seem to be appointees like general kelly and general mattis. that played out. general kelly suggested letting in green card holders and that

will begin to calm the political waters. >> what does that tell you about all the people around him because he made these executive orders without consulting a lot of these people. >> it throws into the spotlight something that i know kept jeremy up last night which is the addition of steve bannon to the national security council and the intermingling of campaign promises and campaign staff in the deadly serious business of this country's national security. >> that move to put steve bannon at the national security table, how unusual, how troubling is it to you? >> it's a strong break from precedent. in the obama administration, the director of national intelligence and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff had a regular standing invitation to that principals level committee meeting. now they have basically said someone who is the editor of breitbart, a website, can be there but the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff has to get an invitation. >> going back to the executive order, jeremy, there obviously are people who think that this is going to make us safer,

donald trump among them. you have heard from some key republicans and senator schumer. he thinks this will be used as a powerful tool by the very people we're trying to diminish. >> counterterrorism requires focus, it requires following leads, penetrating plots. if you put an entire civilian populous under suspicion, you're not going to go after the true threats. with the stroke of a pen, the president has handed isis a major propaganda victory. they have been on social media all weekend basically inspiring,in citing people to attack americans. this is not going to make us safer at all. >> both of you, thank you very much. i appreciate that. let's head over to mr. roker for our very first check of the weather. hey, al. >> nice stretch. well, we are looking for a little bit of a clipper coming off the midatlantic coast bringing snow into parts of new jersey. this next one comes in and we'll look at that in the next half hour. plenty of sunshine from the southwest into southern california. we're going to get to (vo) maybe it was here, when you hit 300,000 miles.

responding to growing protests, the white house says the action is not about religion but terror and keeping our country safe. but the world's largest body of islamic nations voiced its grave concern overnight, saying trump's order will only embolden extremists. delta says there could be more cancellations today in the wake of the nationwide ground stop. it was caused by a systems outage that forced delta to cancel at least 150 flights. let's get more on that situation from nbc's tom costello. he's at dulles international airport. tom, good morning. >> reporter: hi, malt, good morning to you. the ceo of delta is apologizing for what he calls an unacceptable situation involving in computer outage and the delays that it caused. this all started at about 6:30 p.m. last night. as you mentioned, 150 flights or so cancelled yesterday and you can imagine the big hubs affected rather dramatically. that includes atlanta, l.a.x., minneapolis, jfk, here at

dulles, the list goes on. this morning about 95 flights are delayed. not a lot of cancellations that we see, but the airline very much in the recovery mode today. no precise discussion about what exactly the computer problem was. some early discussion that may involve the weight and balance computers which really determine how much fuel you have to load onto an aircraft, but no confirmation. it was just last week that united airlines suffered its own significant computer outage. that caused a ground delay for several hours until they got up and running. last summer, delta airlines had another big computer problem affecting more than a thousand flights. that cost them $150 million. this morning, delta says this problem they think has been resolved. they're waiving the change fees. if you're caught in the delay or if you had to miss a flight or you have to reschedule, they will waive the change fee because of it. it should be back to normal today but could take some time before the entire thing is kind of ironed out. matt, back to you. >> thank you, tom. the screen actors guild

gridlock. but where the average l.a. commuter has limited options, the billionaire who helped create the first luxury brand electric car has made space exploration more affordable and is working on making train travel space age came up with a novel if not boring idea to do something about it. tweeting traffic is driving me nuts. i'm going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging. for years the presumptive thought was to look to the skies, but in typical atypical elon musk fashion, as others have gone high, he seems to have decided to go low. >> we started digging a hole on crenshaw just in front of spacex headquarters. there's a giant hole. >> reporter: there had been a question as to how serious musk was about the tunnel idea, but at a hyperloop development competition at the spacex headquarters this sunday, musk not only confirmed ground had already been broken on the tunnel, but clarified that beating traffic wasn't the only

goal. >> i'm actually quite optimistic that tunnelling can be improved by at least five fold, maybe tenfold and that's really key to a lot of technologies. road tunnels, hyperloop tunnels, train tunnels. >> reporter: even for the rarefied tech air that elon breathe breathes, this is ground-breaking stuff. >> this is somewhere near the top. >> reporter: ashley vance, elon musk's biographer says where others see blockades, elon finds success. >> he really is like a real-life tony stark so when he comes up with a totally nuts idea, he's the only person that has a track record of making these things come true. >> reporter: for those not in the know, tony stark also moonlights as ironman. rather than flying through the air fighting criminals, this real-life tech avenger seems content at moving humanity

forward one big innovative hole at a time. to be clear, technology is one thing. the logistics and bureaucracy involved in digging a citywide tunnel beneath los angeles will be quite complex. for now this first tunnelling adventure will be contained to the spacex campus. matt and hoda, back to you. >> i want to be elon musk. i just want to come up with ideas and try them. coming up, just ahead on popstart is a "9 to 5" reunion in the works? what dolly parton had to say about that. and steve you gotta go harder. come on. hey, yo brian, brian... stop, stop playing yourself. hello mr. khaled. did you have a tax question? yes, miss tax lady. i'm in the personal training game now. the khaled exercise program. you know, shreds pounds. you feel me? i feel you. can i deduct some of the training equipment? you know this is my business, i put my own money up.

now to our start today, live to 100 series. all month long we've been trying to get a handle on our diets. >> how have you done? >> pretty good. >> today joy bauer created plans for each of us. energy and immune boosting one for me. >> so as this month winds down, joy is here with recipe redos to help us stick to healthy eating throughout the year. >> and you guys have been doing great, by the way. >> we should give joy just a little badge of honor here because you created foods for us on our diets that actually work that i am still implementing. not all of them and not even most of them -- >> that makes me so happy. >> this is the thing. i found and i think a lot of people do this, we both sort of do it. we went out the door, we find whatever we can in the morning. >> a bagel and cream cheese. >> so many people's go-tos. this bagel 500 calories and offers you nothing in return. there's no nutrition whatsoever.

>> so what should jenna eat instead? >> this is pretty cool. i am claiming the new avocado toast for 2017 is sweet potato toast. take your sweet potato, slice it lengthwise, pop it in the toaster oven. put on a little peanut butter. >> and you said watch how much peanut butter we eat because we like to slather it on. >> put a tablespoon on each slice. >> you're taking a raw potato and sticking it in the toaster? >> yes, yes. >> or you can put it in the oven, right, or no. >> two slices just 310 cal reese. you get potassium from the banana, which by the way beats bloat. is that delicious. >> pretty good. >> and look what else you can do here. put some greek yogurt on the bottom of it, even put an egg on

top. >> i would never think of toasting a piece of sweet potato. >> sweet potato toast. >> i love cupcakes. that's one of my problems. >> so when you get a cupcake at the bakery, it's going to start at 300 calories and it's only going to climb depending upon how big it is. >> like this baby looks like it's a lot of calories over here. >> that is probably about a thousand calories, but normally they're about 300. there's a lot of frosting on that one. so the first thing to know is most of the bakeries now have mini cupcakes so you definitely want to go for the mini. when you think about it, it's the first few bites that really do it for you. that's the sweet satisfaction. but i'm going to take it to the next level. pick this up, we're going to frost this. for people that were willing to put in a little effort, i have a little recipe that is on the website. >> what is that? >> you're going to taste it. give this a taste and tell me if you think there is -- >> anything good in it? >> anything suspicious in there or does it just taste like a

cupcake. >> tastes like a cupcake. >> is that avocado? >> well, in the actual cupcake i pureed in a can of black beans. >> what? >> instead of oil. you follow -- >> so this is good for digest 81. >> and the frosting is made out of avocado and each of these little guys just 70 calories. you could have two for 140. >> do you not like it? >> i love it. >> two for 140. >> one of the tips that i thought was genius was hoda had to put all of her snacks in a bag. >> are you trying to remind me of that? >> it helps with the impulsive eating. >> let's move to craig, who by the way i think he lost 15 pounds. >> he looks amazing. he was a soldier. you guys were great too. >> one quick thing, i don't like competing with guys because they lose weight so fast and we eat a cracker and gain a pound. >> so when you order chicken

parmesan out in a restaurant, remember, he went meat-free, he loves this stuff. i needed to give him another alternative. this is actually a double portion. but when you order it, it's at least 1,000 calories. that's not considering the starchy mound of pasta you get on the side. instead, you don't want to order eggplant parmesan because it could be worse because it's such a spongy vegetable and sops in all that oil. so make it at home. season it, roast it in the oven about 20 minutes, put on some sauce, some cheese, red pepper flakes and oregano. this whole thing, 200 calories. >> joy, we want to thank you so much. she can make your favorite recipe healthier. just text joy. head to today.com to find out how. tomorrow it's our big start "today" finale. just ahead the woman behind the "fifty shades" phenomenon, you know you want to meet her. e.l. james is here.

you're insulting both genders by saying sex is so important. one, that that's the only thing a woman has to offer so you reduce her to just that and, second, that men are so stupid that they'll give up anything just for sex. so i think that was a really important point for the generation of today and josh and i spoke -- we spoke to each other about it and he and the writers just really went with it. i think the scene is just a really important example of the kind of conversations people need to have, keeping in mind the atmosphere in the world today. >> and the way you just explained that is part of the reason "time" magazine named you one of the 100 most influential people. granted that's a scene and that's a character, but that's reflective of who you are as a woman as well and what you portray in your life. >> supentertainment to me is entertainment and, yes, it's fiction. but wherever you can have something that is relevant or a point of view, which is what makes "quantico" such a cool show, one of our new episodes we're talking about fake news,

main components in all of your food. ginger you like to use. so does al roker, he's a big fan. >> then we add all the chicken to that. >> do you like chicken thigh or breast? >> i like chicken thigh because it doesn't dry out. so you marinate that for 12 hours. and then we have some skewars soaking. >> once i did not soak them and they were like charred is it ix. >> so then we put them on the grill pan. you want it nice and hot. we're going to cook them for 12 minutes, six on each side and then garnish it with some scallions and some garlic. >> now this is the thing that i eat every single time i enter your restaurant. tell us about your wings. >> this is my favorite. these are wings. we have our southern curry ingredients over here. again, it looks like a lot but you can find everything. >> which is important. >> and then so we have the southern curry already made and we're going to marinate the

wings. so we have some buttermilk, some southern curry and we have a little sriacha and some fish sauce. and then we're going to mix that all up and then we're going to -- if you want to pour that over the chicken. >> inside this bag? >> yes. and then we marinate it for 12 hours overnight. so these are marinated wings. and then the key to making these extra crispy is we double flour them. so we're going to flour it once. >> okay. >> and then put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. take it out and then flour it again. >> it's a double dredge. >> a double dredge. then we also double fry. you start at 325. take it out when they're light golden brown. >> i'm hungry. >> and then we bring the temperature up of the fryer to about 350. >> okay. >> and then fry it for a second time. that's how you get it super, super crispy. this is more of the southern curry.
