morning. >> i'll go first. >> thanks for watching. today show starts right now. enjoy the day. >> happy wawa day. good morning. the deep freeze. >> right now we're not getting along with russia at all. >> the president says u.s./russia reltations have reached the lowest point, perhaps since the cold war. >> the war's two most nuclear powers cannot have this lationship. >> as president trump reverses his long-held hard line on china, why this morning he's singing a different tune. breaking overnight, two more security officers placed on leave involved in dragging that passenger off a united flight. the man's family and lawyer set to speak out this morning. is that airline about to get hit with a massive lawsuit? face-off. the battle between two new york statues takes a surprising twist. the sculptor of the famed

charging bull now demanding the fearless girl be removed. and close call. a 4-year-old girl sits down in a barbershop and seconds later gunfire erupts. the bullets narrowly miss her head. incredibly, she's okay and the suspects are under arrest, "today," thursday, april 13, 2017. >> this is "today" on thursday, april 13, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> who do you win, fearless girl, charging bull? >> what team are you on? >> i don't know. >> it's a fascinating story. how much can you determine how much people interpret.

president trump does appear to be warming when it comes to major issues he railed against in the campaign. our team is covering this, we'll start with kristen welker at the white house. hi, kristen, good morning. >> reporter: hi, savannah. today president trump leaves for mar-a-lago to celebrate the easter weekend. the white house aiming to pressure russia to stop propping up syria's president bashar al assad. this morning a spokesman for the kremlin called tillerson's meeting with russia's president vladimir putin fairly constructive. but both sides say relations are at a new low. this morning president trump turning up the heat on russia unleashing a stunning accusation wednesday. russia likely knew about syria's chemical weapons attack. >> i would like to think that they didn't know. but certainly they could have, they were there. >> reporter: the strong words came during a joint press conference with nato's secretary

general in which mr. trump, who was once criticized for being too praise-worthy of president putin, offered this stark assessment. >> right now we're not getting along with russia at all. we may be at an all-time low in terms of a relationship with russia. >> reporter: the white house wants russia to pressure assad to stop using chemical weapons. like the attack last week that resulted in a u.s. missile strike on a syrian air base. >> young children dying, babies dying, fathers holding children in their arms that were dead, dead children. there can't be a worse sight. and it shouldn't be allowed. that's a butcher. that's a butcher. >> reporter: the president's tough talk echoed 5,000 miles away in moscow by his secretary of state, rex tillerson meeting with president putin and his russian counterpart, saying for the first time the u.s. might consider war crimes charges against syria's president, one way to force him out of office.

>> it is possible that the threshold necessary to charge individuals, including bashar al assad, may be achieved. >> reporter: but does russia have the upper hand in the relationship with the u.s.? for the first time in decades, the answer may be yes. western diplomats at the g-7 summit failing to agree on the sanctions against russia in the wake of syria's chemical attack. then at the u.n. security council, russia blocking a proposed resolution condemning the attack. >> the draft resolution has not been adopted. >> reporter: add to that, russian foreign minister sergey lavrov dismissing the u.s. position that assad is to blame for the chemical warfare, instead calling on the u.n. to launch an independent investigation. the secretary of state acknowledging the tensions are an issue. >> the world's two most nuclear powers cannot have this kind of relationship. >> reporter: while the trump administration grapples with foreign policy crises, it's also focused on immigration, identifying ways to more

effectively deport undocumented immigrants. according to a dhs memo, the administration already found 33,000 more detention beds to house undocumented immigrants and is filing through with the president's directive to ramp up border security. matt? savannah? >> kristen welker, thank you. the president's hard view on russia is not his only notable shift. on wednesday we saw him reverse his stances on other key issues he took during the campaign, including china and nato. nbc's chief white house correspondent hallie jackson has more on that story. hallie, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, matt, good morning. you're right, president trump's cooler toward russia, warmer towards china and nato citing their fight against terror. and on the economic front, he's moving more to the middle. for him, a series of significant shifts in just the last day. from president trump, a flurry of flip-flops. >> so here's the problem with nato, it's obsolete.

i said it was obsolete, it's no longer obsolete. >> reporter: that rhetorical reversal on nato, just one of several in the past 24 hours. as the president backs up key campaign promises. remember this one on china? >> we are going to label china a currency manipulator. >> reporter: again and again, blasting beijing as recently as ten days ago when president trump called china the world champion of currency manipulation. now? he tells ""the wall street journal"" they are not currency manipulators, changing his mind because they stopped doing it and he wants china's help in dealing with north korea. that's not the only about-face. in the same interview, the president said he likes and respects the head of the fed, janet yellin. last fall, his descriptions sounded very different. >> she's very political and to a certain extent she should be ashamed of herself. >> reporter: as a candidate, he

blasted the export import bank, the conservatives label it crony capitalism. that was then. now in a move with a shift toward the center, president trump calls it a very good thing suggesting it may help small businesses. a senior administration official downplayed the u-turns telling nbc news that the president hasn't strayed from the big principles of his campaign, like jobs and national security, adding he always said he wants to keep his options on the table. on the international front, she's still keeping one option open when it comes to the kremlin, even though his administration's clearly cooler toward moscow now, the president's been consistent, he wants to keep the door open just in case. >> it would be a fantastic thing if we got along with putin and if we got along with russia. that could happen and it may not happen, it may be just the opposite. >> reporter: the president argues he's still keeping his promises one by one. but his most recent economic declarations, matt and savannah,

could be seen as a sign of the rising influence of advisers like gary cohen here in the west king as opposed to his chief strategist steve bannon. >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. any we'nicolle wallace is w now, good morning to you. all presidents learn on the job and you have certainly been in the white house, you know that to be true. is that what we're seeing here, kind of a realtime learning about some of these positions? that is why it's changing? is it a true change of heart? good, bad, different? >> we are watching the education of a president. and what is different is that this normally happens during the campaign. and presidents of both parties, especially ones that didn't come from the united states senate, where they have grappled with some of the important policy issues, you covered george w. bush, conde rice, we are watching a president become educated about issues he railed against but didn't know anything about as a candidate. >> is it partly that and is it partly this is the reputation of donald trump as a deal maker?

you need a safe and secure europe, so nato's not obsolete. you need china's help with north korea, so china's manipulator. >> that's part of it. and it's also a sign, we talk about the struggle as being between the new yorkers and the keepers of the trump plain. i think it is more about his impulses toward the pragmatism you describe. and the reality, you can't do much on the world stage without a strong nato. >> is there also a little part of this softening toward china where he's playing china against russia and saying, hey, vladimir putin, take a look at me and my new friend, the president of china. >> absolutely. and back to the education point, he now, i think, has a better understanding of the grave threat posed by north korea. and he needs china. >> we talked about it and hallie said the bannon wing in the white house and the west-wing democrats, as steve bannon likes to call them, people like ivanka

trump and jared kushner, people with a more centrist position. i mean, in terms of the politics of it, are trump voters going to be disappointing if suddenly he's not saying, china, you're ripping us off, for example? >> i don't think so. i think the trump voters were so tapped into his strengths and weaknesses and understand the whole composite. i'll be out talking to them next week, but i'm going to be very surprised if they are disappointing in the pivots on foreign policy. they voted for him on jobs. as long as he stays on track, we have not heard him talk about that much, but as long as he returns to the central issue, i think his core voters will be just fine. >> nicolle wallace, thank you very much. we just mentioned north korea, there's now growing fear the country could soon conduct its sixth nuclear test despite stark warnings from the united states. new satellite imaging shows increased activity at north korea's main nuclear testing site. it comes as the country prepares to celebrate the birthday of the nation's founder, kim il-song,

the grandfather of kim jong-un. north korea is known to mark significant anniversaries and celebrations with displays of military force. also this morning, united is facing new problems over that passenger who was dragged off a flight earlier this week. he appears set to take legal action with his family and his attorneys, planning to hold a news conference later today. tom costello covers aviation for us and has been following this all week long. tom, good morning, bring us up to speed. >> reporter: united airlines says it will compensate everybody that was on the flight on sunday for witnessing this hybrid police security force ripping dr. dao out of his seat and dragging him down the aisle. and now this case may be about to take a major turn. today attorneys for dr. david dao appear to be poised to take legal action. >> my god, what are you doing? >> reporter: for the first time later this morning we expect to hear from both attorneys and the family member of dr. dao's, four

days after airport security dragged him from a flight bloodied and dazed. >> oh, my god, look at what you did to him! >> reporter: simply for refusing to give up his seat so united's crew members could board. late wednesday, the chicago department of aviation put two more security officers on leave, which means all three officers involved are now suspended as part of the department's ongoing review. >> no, i'm not going. i am not going. >> reporter: hours earlier, lawyers for dr. dao filed an emergency court petition, naming united airlines and the city of chicago to preserve what could be key pieces of evidence, surry r say lance video, surveillance video, incident reports, protocol and the personnel files of the police. on board sunday's flight, history teacher jason pao, so upset by what he saw, he pulled his students off the plane. >> what they did is totally opposite of what needs to happen. it was really, frankly,

unbelievable. >> reporter: three rows behind dr. dao, anthony johnson shot this cell phone video. >> as it was happening, i couldn't believe it. it took me a while to comprehend what i just saw. >> i have to go home. i have to go home. >> reporter: if united airlines was hoping its p.r. nightmare would fade away, it may be in for another day of bad headlines. united has apologized now to dr. dao and to all of the passengers on board. also, promising the result of an internal investigation by the end of the month. and meanwhile, as you know, their stock has suffered losing hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of the past few days. guys, back to you. >> tom costello, thanks very much. here's disturbing video from sacramento, california. it's landed an officer there under investigation. it shows him beating a pedestrian. and what did he stop him for? jaywalking. here's nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer. >> this is right here -- >> reporter: stopped for jaywalking, the brutal takedown

and beating of a pedestrian at the hands of a sacramento police officer was caught on camera by a woman driving by. >> hey! hey! why are you doing it like that? >> reporter: pummeled by more than a dozen punches, this morning sacramento police call the officer's smackdown disturbing and unacceptable. >> he's breaking his arm. >> reporter: police launching a criminal investigation into one of their own. >> if she didn't take that video, i would probably be a dead man walking right now. >> reporter: he says it went down as he was walking home. >> my hands were prettity banged up, my face. they got me in the throat, punched me in the stomach, my ribs. i just thank god i'm still alive. >> reporter: quickly releasing dash cam video -- >> get down on the ground now. get down. >> reporter: police say the standoff escalates when cain refuses orders to stop walking and take off his jacket. >> get down on the ground now. >> reporter: moments later, the

officer's fists fly. >> we don't condone this behavior with any of our officers. we hold ourself to a higher standard. >> these things are happening on a regular basis. and we don't always get to know when it's happening because there's not always a witness videotaping it and making it public. >> reporter: with cain not facing any charges, the officer is off the force and not commenting. but some say this video already speaks volumes. for today, miguel almaguer, nbc news, los angeles. we should tell you that along with the criminal investigation, the sacramento police department also launching an internal affairs probe to the officer's conduct. he'll remain on paid administrative leave pending the results of that investigation. and now back to this video we showed at the top of the show, a frightening close call caught on surveillance camera. a 4-year-old girl nearly shot. this happened inside an arizona barbershop. and here you can see her taking a seat by the front window when

moments later gunfire erupts in the parking lot. the bullets just miss the girl by an inch or two. she was hit by glass and treated for minor injuries. police say the suspects were apparently aiming at the tattoo parlor next door following a very sbal dispute. two men have been arrested and face a list of charges. >> that's so horrifying. >> horrifying and thank goodness she's okay. al is off, dylan is here with a check of the forecast. >> it's a pretty nice forecast for most of the country. yesterday we did see some pretty nasty storms move through kansas. look at this thunderstorm that stalled out over hayes, kansas, just dumped so much hail. it's starting to cover the streets there. cars were stuck in some of the flooding because the rain was passing over the same area over and over again for a very extended period of time. cars there trying to drive through the flooding, which you probably shouldn't do. and there's the hail continuing to pile up, and even the hail landing in some of the puddles. so we are going to see some storms today, especially a little farther south of the

kansas area, down to southwestern texas. you can see the cloud-to-ground lightning there and heavy pockets of rain, but nothing too severe today. we could see the storms continue to move eastward throughout the day into tomorrow. but really, as we go into the upcoming weekend, that's when we're going to see more widespread severe storms possible, especially on saturday across parts of the midwest. basically extending from iowa right down to texas where we could see larger hail and damaging winds. of course, the rain that comes with it, too. we could see as much as two to three inches of rain near southwestern oklahoma. that could lead to some brief flash flooding again if it happens in the same area like we just saw in that video. so heavy rain possible today. mountain snow out west. and also very windy conditions in the southwest. that's a look at

lit bit of a breeze out of the northwest. keep the temperatures in 60s today. humidity low. 67 for delaware. sunshine and scattered clouds in the lehigh valley. up to 64 degrees this afternoon. for new jersey, 66 degrees, but the wind shifts this afternoon. so bit chillier at the shore. high temperature at 61 degrees with that sea breeze. well into the 60s for the suburbs and philadelphia. have a glareat day. and that's your latest forecast. >> dylan, thank you. coming up, they call it the winter white house. how much are president trump's visits to mar-a-lago costing

currency manipulator. all right. here's a sight that was waited for for 108 years, the chicago cubs receiving world series rings. it happened at a pre-game ceremony last night. the rings feature the words "we never quit" and 108 stones, yes, one for each year of the team's drought between championships. >> good for them. also today, president trump heads to mar-a-lago once again, this is his seventh trip there since inauguration day. so, how much are the trips costing and who is profiting from them? this morning, nbc news investigates. gabe gutierrez is at the so-called southern white house for us. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: matt, good morning. the white house as well as the department of defense and homeland security won't say exactly how much these trips are costing, but while the white house insists there are no conflicts of interest, ethics watchdogs say the taxpayer-funded trips are to promote a family business and exploiting the presidency for personal gain.

when barack obama was president, donald trump had harsh words about his travel trips. >> what's better than the white house? why these vacations? you're in the white house, there's so much work to be done. >> reporter: but now mr. trump's traveling often to mar-a-lago, his glitzcy, sprawling, florida estate. also a private club owned by the family business. seven trips since he took office including another one this week. more than half of the weekends. >> i have the southern white house in florida. we get a lot of work done, not a lot of rest at the south white house, a lot of work. >> reporter: who's who of the administration, policy consultants and members of congress, many flown down at taxpayer expense and staying in high-priced rooms in mar-a-lago. plus foreign officials like china's president xi jinping. last week he stayed overnight in a nearby resort and the japanese prime minister shinzo abe and

robert kraft who traveled on air force one and marine one. how unprecedented is this? >> i can't think of anything like this that we have seen at any time in the modern era. >> reporter: steve soon scooner says what is so different that unlike president busch's trips or president obama's trips to martha's vineyard, he's visiting a privately owned family business to mingle with club owners where he can pay money just to join. >> the president should have invested in properties to begin with. he shouldn't be traveling there on a regular basis on the public's dime and driving business to his own commercial interest. >> reporter: shinzo abe's trip was a personal gift from the president himself and the plan is to do so for other foreign officials. for transportation, secret service protection, military support and the coast guard are all paid for with taxpayers' money.

the white house won't say exactly how much, but the government accountability office estimated that a weekend trip in 2013 by president obama to chicago and south florida cost about $3.6 million. the cost for air force one alone, $142,000 an hour. >> this is where he goes to see his family, he brings people down there. this is part of being president. >> reporter: but critics including a conservative budget watchdog group say the frequent trips cost too much. >> there's room for improvement. and the president should do well to figure out ways to save money for the taxpayer in the white house operations. and moving them around. >> reporter: every time the president visits, how much does it cost your department? >> it's about $60,000 a day. >> reporter: palm beach county sheriff rick bradshaw says that added up to $2 million since the inauguration. >> we can sustain this a while longer. if it goes many more months, then we have to make decisions on talking with the county to get contingency funds.

>> reporter: in the eight years of his presidency, barack obama's total costs were at least $97 million. at the current rate, the cost of president trump's travel could well exceed that. but what all this really adds up to, ethics watchdogs say, is a president spending lots of taxpayer money to conduct presidential business while promoting his family's business at the same time. >> this is a privately-owned club. and for all intents and purposes, was just another gulf property in florida before that almost now is something that americans immediately recognize, imagine what you would have to pay to get that kind of brand recognition. that's extraordinary. >> reporter: at the request of senate democrats, the gal will review the mar-a-lago costs to find out if they are fair and reasonable. officials here in palm beach and new york where trump tower are located, when asked when they will be reimbursed, they have not officially heard back. and one local county commissioner is looking into the possibility of extra taxes on the mar-a-lago property to

possibly recoup some of the money. back to you. >> gabe, thank you very much. let us turn to dylan who is in for al this morning. good morning, again. what do you got? >> we have warm temperatures across the country. we are going to see very much above average temps going into the upcoming weekend. we have the jet stream sitting up across canada that allows all the warm air to come in from the south. so today we're going to see highs in st. louis about 80 degrees. charleston, west virginia, 76. new york city, 64. minneapolis, 67. right around average. going into the weekend, temperatures max out on saturday and 83 in st. louis. charlotte in the lower 80s through easter sunday. new york should get up to 83 degrees by the time we get to sunday. dallas, looking like you'll be in the lower 80s, too. then on monday, it starts to cool off a little bit but still very pleasant, mainly in the 70s and the 80s pushing to the south. and the rain is possible across the plains but nothing too severe. and the windy conditions could spread fires in # # 60s today and

mumt low. 67 for delaware. sunshine a few scattered clouds on lehigh valley up to 64 degrees this afternoon. for new jersey, 66 degrees, but the wind shifts this afternoon. bit chillier at the shore. high temperature of 61 degrees with that sea breeze. well into the 60s for the suburbs and philadelphia. have a great day. try it out live on "trending." that's exciting. but first, is apple set to revolutionize an entirely new industry? what could be the tech giant's what could be the tech giant's next big thing, ♪ predictable. the comfort in knowing where things are headed.

back now at 7:41 with a secret plan from tech giant apple to tackle something you may not expect. >> joe pryor is here with this story, good morning. >> reporter: apple has a team of biomedical engineers trying to develop a better way to treat diabetes, technology non-invasive that continuously monitors blood sugar levels. it's a highly challenging endeavor to say the least, but the break through would be the holy grail for battling disease that affects millions. with the iphone, apple revolutionized how we communicate. now with sensors, perhaps in a watch-like device, the tech giant hopes to dramatically improve the life of those with diabetes. >> they are trying to track blood sugar without actually ever piercing the skin and taking blood. >> reporter: cnbc spoke to multiple sources familiar with the project. they say over the last five years, apple has built a team of about 30 experts quietly working in a secret location miles from

the corporate headquarters. >> a lot of companies and life sciences have tried this before and haven't been able to make it work because it's a really challenging scientific and technical problem. >> reporter: such a break through would be life-changing for this family. >> when i give you a finger prick to check your blood sugar, does it hurt or do you not feel it anymore? >> sometimes it hurts. >> reporter: every six hours they have to prick 6-year-old oscar's skin to check his levels. >> as long as you can be confident it is representing the right blood sugar. >> reporter: more than 29 million americans have diabetes. that's nearly one out of every ten people. many more are pre-diabetic and don't know it. but with better tech not, they might. >> so if you had a very simple tool for assessing your blood sugar levels, that would be very powerful in the diagnosis and hopefully and encouraging people to make the lifestyle changes. >> reporter: according to cnbc, apple founder steve jobs, who died of pancreatic cancer,

mmm! sheinelle is covering for carson over in the orange room. and this morning she's talking about a big battle on wall street. >> good morning. i can't wait to hear what you think. so there's a war brewing over two statues, the charging bull and fearless girl. the creator of the charging bull which originally put in place nearly 30 years ago to symbolize america's resilience following the stock market crash, says the newly-installed fearless girl statue has changed the meaning of his work and violated his legal rights. the 4-foot tall defiant girl was added a month ago on the eve of international women's day and quickly became a tourist

attraction and social media sensation representing the lack of gender equality in the workplace. in a press conference on wednesday, he requested the statue not be destroyed but moved to a different location. social media users are seeing both sides of the dispute. one tweet says, the fearless girl statue is already a symbol of strong women struggles. she's offended a man just by getting more attention than him. allen writes, 90% of fearless girl photos also include the bull. i can see the moral rights infringement argument. even new york city mayor bill de blasio weighed in online tweeting, we wouldn't move the charging bull statue if it offended someone. the fearless girl is staying put. the lawyers have filed a lawsuit saying they have hopes the dispute can be resolved ammicbly. guys? >> okay. i think he's right, it absolutely changes the meaning of his statue, because she looks like she's standing up to something menacing. i don't think he has a legal leg to stand on. >> it's like fearless girl,

charging bull and lame lawsuit. however, i do agree that, you know, he feels like they've changed the meaning. asking it to be moved is a reasonable request, but i don't know he has a legal leg to stand on. what do you think, dylan? >> since the girl is there, i think it is a great idea, but do see how it changes what the bull represented. >> on the other hand, that's art. you put something out into the public arena, it's always going to be subject to somebody's interpretation. >> yeah. >> so if you put a painting next to the mona lisa and the painting's going -- would the artist of the mona lisa say, what the heck? >> let's move that one. sheinelle, thank you. just ahead, we'll introduce you to a remarkable woman using her love of cooking to bring the community together.

line. it's clever advertising. about three hours after the ad launched, google home put a stop to it. >> i always wonder when the alexa commercials come on why my alexa doesn't go off. i don't know if the volume isn't loud enough? >> we had a problem on "today's take," people were tweeting us their device didn't work. >> do you think it crosses the line? >> it's clever but intrusive. how many times in the last month or so have we been in the first half hour of the show covering a story on syria, and she didn't do it this time, but a lot of times siri will jump in in the middle of the show. >> she didn't answer to siri either. >> at first google said it would fix it, but then apparently burger king released additional ads last night that still trigger it. moving on, what is the most common thing you hear after a break-up? we can still be friends. >> i was thinking of something a

it started with this photo, a twitter user revealed something her mom discovered. if you put a rectangle like that one on the floor, your cat will get into it. so this goes viral. everybody has to see, will my cat do it? yes, apparently it does work for many, many cats. >> why? >> why is the question. we called our own "today" show expert, jessica, in to bring her cat. princess is here. has she tried that before? >> princess -- >> she's a little camera shy. >> oh, no, she's going to go back to this box. >> did she see the box? she's out. >> she's out. >> i bet if princess were not in a studio with all these distractions and you did that at home, is it possible that it's a litter box? >> it does make sense. then they are going to go to the bathroom. >> that's true. >> at least you know where they go, right in the little spot. >> put her right next to and see if it happens. >> will she stay?

box. >> no. >> do me a favor, jess, will you grab princess one second? >> yes, i'll grab her. she's excited to look around. >> because i see your cat, and you have to take her out of here for a second, i see your cat and i raise you a dog. charlie. sit. charlie, place. >> oh, my gosh. >> oh, my gosh. >> yay! >> proving once again that charlie -- >> yay, charlie. >> good boy, sit. what a good boy. oh, best dog in the world. >> i know. >> best dog in the world. >> i'm in love. >> take that, princess. >> exactly. >> if you could adopt charlie right now, you would sign the papers. >> in a heartbeat, absolutely. >> it is love. it is love. >> come on, charlie. let's go back. >> oh, he's adorable. >> good boy. >> what a good dog.

we've had 29 states with reports of tornadoes. a lot of those down across the southeast. 13 reported tornadoes in south carolina so far. georgia, in general, though, 104 reported tornadoes. so it has been a very active season. luckily, we're not talking about widespread tornadoes today, although texas with 69 reported tornadoes this year, has the best chance of seeing some stronger storms today. heavier rain through texas up into oklahoma. but we're not looking at a whole lot of severe weather today or tomorrow. takes until saturday before we do start to see severe weather work into parts of iowa and st i'm meteorologist bill henley. the temperatures coming up into the 60s today. a little bit of a breeze out of the northwest. that will keep the temperatures in the 60s today and the humidity low. 67 for delaware. sunshine, a few scattered clouds on the lehigh valley. up to 64 degrees this afternoon. new jersey, 66 degrees. but the wind shifts this afternoon, so chillier at the

shore. high temperature of 61 degrees with the sea breeze. well into the 60s for the suburbs and philadelphia. have a great day. and you can also find "today" on our sirius channel xm 108. now to a special passover and easter week series we call soul searching today. >> we tell you about a woman using her passion of cooking to bring different faiths to the table. craig melvin has her story, good morning. >> good morning. nice to see you this morning. our faith can divide us but also give us a reason to come together. one muslim woman is opening up her home and engaging her community through food. >> faith is such an important part of my life as demonstrated by the hijab i wear so visibly for people to know that i am a muslim. and i am proud to be a muslim. and this is something that i practice every day. and i hold it near and dear to my heart.

>> calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> during the presidential campaign, american-born muslim amanda saab, felt the rhetoric towards muslims had become increasingly uncomfortable. >> i did cry. i was like, oh, my gosh, i can't believe this is happening. i was feeling, like, i needed to do something because i was kind of feeling helpless while watching the news. and all of the things that were being said about muslims and american-muslims, and i wanted to create my own platform to share my experiences. hello! >> reporter: saab and her husband, hussein, took a bold step and opened up their home to total strangers through social media and created a movement, dinner with your muslim neighbor. >> i love cooking. like, there's no better way, i think, to show and welcome somebody into your home than by breaking bread and sharing a meal. >> reporter: their guests are from diverse backgrounds.

>> reaching out to our black brothers and sisters to make sure they are represented, our christian brothers and sisters, our jewish brothers and sisters, someone from the lgbtq community, just so we have the opportunity to hear their experiences. and we can share and learn from one another. >> reporter: the meal starts with a prayer. >> we always start with a prayer. and it is a traditional muslim prayer. but i think it also helps normalize american-muslims, many people in their faith traditions say a prayer before a meal. so i think it is important to be true to our customs and beliefs at these dinners. >> amen. thank you. >> islam wouldn't be where it was today if it wasn't for a strong, successful woman. my faith plays into my dinners because i'm showing people what american-muslims are like, what islam is like, to be hospitable and generous and kind to our neighbors. >> so why do muslim women choose to wear hijab? >> i think a consistent question

at every single dinner has been about hijab and what it means for muslim women who cover. it empowers me, it really does. it has people get to know me based on my personality, not on my looks and i love it. it's my flag for my religion and it's beautiful. >> do you think now is like a good time for reform? >> why do you think that has occurred? >> i think we're okay with being vulnerable and put ourselves in a position to be asked difficult questions. >> islam is not believing in imposing anything on anyone. >> hussein and i are two american-muslims, we are not practicing scholars, we are just people who practice a different faith. >> it was great. >> i don't regret coming at all. i feel like i need to keep in touch with these people. >> i think people after they leave the dinner feel more comfortable in talking about things that are sometimes taboo.

>> thank you so much for coming. >> reporter: saab and her husband have hosted 12 dinners so far. >> we have gotten invitations back to their homes and to their places of worship. so i think it's a lifelong friendship because we shared something so special. thank you so much. >> this is for you. >> reporter: by bringing neighbors of different faiths together, the saabs hope to share more understanding of each other. >> i think it's absolutely incredible to know that we can make even the smallest difference in our own little community. i want people to know that american-muslims are just like all other americans. we're in this together. and i think the success of this country and our world is in our unity and diversity and embracing that. >> so as you can see, amanda and hussein, even give their guests desserts as they leave. the dinners have been such a success, they are now working on a "how-to guide" to help others host dinners fo.

food always brings us together. >> it's a great way to ask questions you may not be able to ask otherwise. >> very approachable in that sentiment. >> and they have become friends! >> if you're there and curious and wanting to make that connection, that sets a nice tone to it. and like you said, food. food is good. >> food, music, occasionally a little alcohol. there are very few things that bring us together. >> let me get this right, now you're doing food bringing people together over faith. earlier it was beer. >> can you see a theme has emerged? >> there's a thread here. a good segway because we have a tease for tomorrow's, which is two friends what are really defying their limitations. and look at this, taking their faith to new heights. very cool. still ahead, danny devito. that's all you need to say. danny devito, live in our studio. but first, on a

take a look. >> you're looking like a maniac. >> this is bad for america, bad for jews, it is bad for everybody. >> that's right. i want to help. >> how can you help? this is a political war going on 7,000 miles from here. they are going to use this story to take him down. there's nothing you can do about it. don't get involved. it's too big. >> richard, good morning, good to have you here. >> you, too. >> it's really good. >> i said, he hasn't seen the movie. no, it's okay, trux st me, it's really good. >> i understand. i got to meet the director a second ago. >> joseph is getting very shy. joseph, are you here? joseph! >> he doesn't want to come out. he doesn't want to be seen with you. >> no makeup, no nothing. he's got the leather jacket on. joseph! >> you said to him when he first came to you about this project that if you were directing this movie, you would not cast you in it. >> absolutely not. >> why not? >> no, because it was -- you haven't seen the movie yet.

but when you see the movie, you'll know why. he's a shlub. his instincts are completely different than mine. so really, it went from starting from ground zero to build this character. >> as a matter of fact, they took steps to not make you as handsome as you normally are. and i thank you for showing up in character. that's really good of you. what did they do to you? >> well, it was they, it sounds like there was a team of they getting hysterical all over me, but it was -- you know, joseph wanted to change -- he spent a day, which is usually what i do, i give people a day to play and do whatever they want. and then in the end, i decide what i'm going to do. he said, okay, i want a day to play. so he put funny eyebrows on me and hairline back and mustache. it all looked ridiculous to me. and i had seen, i had just come back from india, and a friend of mine, a wonderful indian actor,

he had a poster of his latest movie. and it was a goofy movie. and the poster had his ears sticking out. and i said, all this is ridiculous. what about this? and he went -- that's it. so you'll see in the movie that my ears are a little more protruding than in real life. >> well, we talk about a fixer, we use fixers in our business, as the people who kind of grease the wheels and they connect people. is that the right definition for this guy? >> yeah, but he's not really a fixer, he's a maha. >> explain what that means. >> he wants to be a fixer, basically. >> he's a wannabe. >> fixer sounds like he actually does it. but this guy is on the periphery of things that are happening. people who have money or power or influence or whatever, i know you have no one like that around you. >> i was going to ask you, do you have a norman in your life? >> there are no normans in this life. >> no. >> everyone is looking at each

other. >> is he a pathetic character? >> you know, there's a -- no, he's not pathetic. i don't find him pathetic. i find him very human. and i find his situations -- we continually see him being humiliated. and joseph has allowed us to feel that with him at certain times in this movie. i think there's a chaplain-esque quality to this guy. he's kind-hearted and everything he says is a complete untruth or half untruth. but he believes his own fantasies of these schemes that ultimately -- he does believe it's going to make everyone happy. >> well, as you say, it is really good, take my word for it. >> joseph, come here, quick. >> just come in for a shot, joseph. he's not going to let you go without coming in. >> and i'm going to dominate the rest of the show until you do. >> you were looking for norman so -- >> yo receive wrote and directed this wonderful movie i'm very proud of. >> thank you, richard.

okay, i can go now, right? >> congratulations. i read something and sometimes these aren't right, that you are starting to choose roles based a lot on can they keep you home and close to family here in new york, is that true? >> we talked about this before, the last time i saw you. i have a 17-year-old son and figure i have, maybe another year or two that i'm going to be really in his life. and so, i don't know, four or five, six years ago -- >> do you turn away a lot of things that require travel? >> i say, i like the script, i like you guys, if you can do it in new york, i'll do it. but they say, it costs too much. then i say, then i'll basically do it for free. then they go, oh, okay. >> you're coming back in a couple weeks. >> i have another movie. this is hysterical, two movies and another one in the parking lot. >> and embarrassment of riches. >> i apologize to everyone. >> "norman" opens in theaters tomorrow. just ahead, another star we

love. danny devito. >> i love danny. hey, danny. >> hey, how are you doing, guys? >> but first, this is "today" on nbc. now you're excused.

back now with a bright new face on the great white, danny devito. after 50 years in movies, tv shows, he's making his debut in arthur miller's "the price." >> he plays gregory solomon praising assets from the family home of two estranged brothers and will stoop to any level to get the best price. >> i think maybe you got a few nice pieces. not that the rest can't be sold, but it will take a year, year and a half, and that, for me, is a big bet. i don't know what to tell you. >> okay, let's forget it. >> why are you jumping?

>> danny devito, good morning. >> good morning. >> i love how we say you're a bright new face because on broadway, you are. this is your debut. >> yeah. >> why does that surprise me? >> so much fun. >> why does -- >> yeah. >> well, i'm a new york guy, i have done theater, years and years ago, before i went to do movies and television, and, you know, did off-broadway, off-off broadway, summerstock, children's theater, all that good stuff, but never broadway. >> it's arthur miller, too. >> oh, baby. >> so the dialogue, if people aren't familiar -- >> it's amazing. >> it's intense dialogue. you can't just phone this in. >> no, it's intense. and you also can rely on it. it's a great play because, when you have that kind of construction and dialogue from a master like arthur miller, you know, it's -- it's challenging, but it's also a wonderful safety net. because the words are like, just so great. >> it's capable of interpretation, too.

because i had heard that, in some incarnations of this play, some stagings of it, your character went in more of a darker direction. you don't exactly do it that way. >> no, i keep it -- solomon is 90 years old. he's seen it all. he's -- he comes into this situation, and there's conflict in the family. but really what i want is the furniture. i mean, i'm on a furniture deal, i'm trying to get a good price. it's interesting, ironic, i've been away from the stage for so long, i mean, i did "the sunshine boys" in london, but it brought, you know, solomon's been out of business for a while, too. so it's kind of -- because he comes back to it. he's brought -- he's all of a sudden taking on such a load. >> is he a crook? >> no, no. >> is he trying to dwindle men out of money at all? >> no, he's trying to make a great deal. and he makes -- he's trying to make a great deal. you come see the show, he makes a pretty good deal.

>> the reviews say you're a scene stealer. and there's a scene, in particular, featuring eggs. >> well, this is in the play. arthur miller is -- the idea is i'm 90 years old, he gives me an argument and i can't -- i say, okay, i'm going to buy the furniture. and then -- he says, i'll give you a good price. i sit down and i take out an egg out of my bag. >> out of your briefcase, you peel it right there, okay. you peel it and then you jam it into your mouth. >> we may just have a couple of eggs right here. >> we have done our calculations. you eat an egg a show, eight shows a week, you have already eaten more than 60 eggs. and if you stay, the desired amount of time, you'll eat something like 120 eggs. >> 120 eggs. >> do you like eggs? >> i love eggs. see, in the beginning, just before rehearsal, i usually get up in the morning and make a couple scrambled eggs. so i just stopped doing that now. even when i go to work. it is really cool.

>> you're on lipitor. >> you need to support the show and the sponsors. but it's an interesting thing, you want to see it? >> we do. >> well, the egg is in the briefcase. so we have a paper bag here. and what i do is, i have a cane, so i take the -- i take it and crack it on stage. and now, by now, the audience is like, beside themselves, because they don't know what to think. and mark doesn't know, mark rufulo, who is wonderful in the play, let's see. >> i hear he cracks up every night. >> so i peel it, right? and then, he says, i can't remember the dialogue of what he says, and i say, well, you give me such an argument that i got hungry. so then i start eating. and this is all. i said, what do you want me to do, stop? we have dialogue.

and then -- there wouldn't be a little salt, would there? and, you know, this is a morning show, so i haven't had my egg yet. >> you can have another one today, though. >> yeah. what is today, thursday? yesterday i had two. wednesday was a bad day. long story short, that's what happens. and we, you know, and -- it is very interesting. it is very interesting on stage, i spit through it. a couple nights ago, he had a piece of white on his cheek that he couldn't get off. the audience likes that because it's like -- you can't, you know, milk it, because otherwise, this is arthur miller. you have to get back into the meat of the play. but, you know, it is really -- serious stuff. but try eating and talking. why don't you try it? >> it's hard.

>> you get back into it. sometimes, like, i got -- one night i got a piece of -- sometimes you can't get it all off and you have to keep the play going. i got one stuck, choked for ten minutes, the audience loved it. broadway history. >> broadway is a better place because of you. it's great to have you on. >> thank you very much. >> danny, good to see you. we want to tell people "the price" runs through may 14th. check him out, he'll have eaten 120 eggs here at the american airlines theater here in new york. coming up next, from fashion to beauty products, the season's best of the best according to our style squad. but first, this is "today" on nbc. vanessa: i got hurt and was given painkillers. by the time the drugs ran out, i was addicted. it happened so fast. i ended up on the streets, where the drugs are cheaper and easier to get. i was a full blown heroin addict, selling my soul to get high. when i realized i needed help i didn't know where to go.

watching. oh, i'm sure she's dvring. i'm sure she is telling everybody, adam is talking about me right now. but she says, i hate when you impersonate me on television. but i've grown up watching al and heard him say, here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. so to have any kind of friendship with al or matt is tremendous. and the fact i'm sitting here with you is the best. >> all the celebrity chefs this week have been signing different copies of their books or what have you. you have your cookbook. >> i do. "straight up tasty." >> "straight up tasty". >> a costaster for three jumbo beverages. >> so it's multipurpose. >> i'm happy to sign this for you. >> you have been all over the world. what is the craziest thing you have eaten?

>> i would say, i get asked this a lot, and depending upon when i'm asked the answer changes, but generally i'm going to say moose nose. i think moose nose -- >> is it tough? i would feel it would be chewy. >> it makes your entire filet mignon. but, like, the thing is it was something i learned from my mentor at travel channel, andy zimmer, for us, it's like, you're eating a nose. that's gross. but the thing is, i think, you have to realize that for other people, this is a way of life. this is a food that is a delicacy. in fact, a nose is sort of a very prized sought-after part in areas like -- >> in large quantifities or pieces? >> whoever wants to o.d. on nose. >> how do they serve it? do you saute it? >> the guy actually told me, don't worry, i boiled it down and brushed it really good to get the hair off. i chewed it so long he gave me a beer to wash it down. i was in alaska. i sat it down in the ground in the snow and chewed so long it

had become slush. like a beer slurpie. >> can you imagine? >> that sounds delicious. >> that sounds delightful. >> my jaw is so ripped. >> you have a very defined jaw line right now. >> you are also involved in common threads, a charity, talk to me about their mission. >> absolutely. so common threads, simply put, raises awareness for childhood nutrition. and i'm one of the people promoting a series, a one-night series of dinners across the u.s. we are in l.a., miami, new york, austin. but the simple fact is, most kids, obviously, one in three kids is obese, but beyond that, some kids can't identify broccoli. so the idea of putting nutritional education, nutritional incentives in schools and creating partnerships with educational entities such that kids, especially in underserved communities, can have better nutritional awareness and better access to better food. and i'm sponsoring these dinners. i'm with two other great people, chefs like fabio, it will be amazing.

so if you go to commonthreads.org, you can coming and have amazing dinners. >> awesome. >> i think you're right. so you guys have had chefs on this whole week, and ryan scott was here yesterday. so i wasn't here to witness this whole hairstyle battle. but there is apparently a hair -- look at this going on. >> so this is his old do on the left. and this is his current do on the right. i still say that the picture on the right, it's better in person, but that is his do. we started the twitter question about the old do versus the new do? and here to join us via phone is chef ryan scott. good morning to you, ryan. >> hi, everybody, how are you? >> oh, no, you don't sound excited. is he back on the west coast? >> no, the producer is smiley face emoji all over my e-mail, you know what that means. >> are you ready for the results? >> i just scrambled some moose nose and had coffee so i'm ready to get to it. >> cheers. >> here's the deal, these are the results.

70% of people prefer your old hair! >> why? i literally need to go see my therapist right now. >> cut it out. >> here's the thing, you made the comment you would cut your hair on the show. so you just let us know what day is good for you. so sorry. i'll save some of your hair and put it in a lock or something. >> that would be creepy. you just took everything to a whole new level. she gets very attached to her co-hosts, adam, so watch out. >> i care about each one of you. i tried to root for you. i feel like he had a nice look with the glasses and everything. >> the whole look together, live in person -- >> come on, now. >> i love your shirt in that photo. i'm just gel soujealous. i'm fighting the flesh yamika

every day. >> that's a good description. >> thank you very much. it can withstand a bullet, wind tunnel, very macho hairstyle. >> guess we'll see you soon, buddy, when you come here. >> i'll bring the moose nose. >> yes, buddy. all right, see you all soon. >> all right, thank you. every thursday morning i wake up and look forward to dylan's throwback pictures because she has a treasure chest of old school photos. >> which i noticed you tapped into old photos because you posted two throwbacks this morning. >> i did. well, it was your fault. this is the thing, i post current ones two or three years old. but dylan has things from the 1920s. so i have to, like -- >> i wasn't born in the 1920s. but -- >> you look great for being born then. >> let's take it back to the late '80s or early '90s. this was early easter. i got my big easter basket. do we have the photo? this is a classic easter basket. if you can't see in that picture, there's big league chew

anything. >> and just peel it just like this. and you can, actually, i made the cheese a little thin on this one. and you can shape it by putting another bowl on it, melting more cheese on it, and it will hold the shape, exactly. >> i love this. >> salad, super duper easy, a fun way to serve a salad or side dish. >> we have to get to this one because it is delicious. avocado with an egg. >> i'm an avocado junkie as these people can attest with my avocado socks. >> can you raise them high? >> i can. >> this is a disaster waiting to happen. >> that is sexy. that's the shot they always want in the morning. all right, so we're going to taken a avocado, make a ring of aluminum foil so it stays upright. crack the egg directly right inside, broil it for five minutes and then treat it with paprika. exactly, just brush it with a little olive oil. and then devito may have eaten all the raw eggs. >> we already cracked it for

you. >> i'm not dissing. i love "taxi." we have paprika and pepper. >> for any time, huh? >> any time. completely ease, broil it five minutes, comes out like this, lime zest, done and done. >> ketchup and barbecue sauce. >> or hot sauce. >> right? a new recipe. >> there's the heart. love it. i didn't have time for weather because we haveoo much love in t good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. plenty of sunshine. a little bit above normal. 67 degrees for this afternoon in philadelphia. sunshine in the suburbs. a high of 65. you'll see a northwesterly wind in new jersey. 66 degrees. but that wind becomes southerly at the shore. that's a sea breeze, means very low 60s for the shore. but inland, lehigh valley and delaware, warm well into the 60s. have a great day.

breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com. creamy, crunchy, chocolatey, hershey's. packed with cookies or almond pieces. hershey's has the taste you love in every bite.

going to see it coming. this show is going to continue to get more intense, more dangerous and dark. >> dangerous and dark? >> oh, yeah. >> people unravel a lot. we have, so far, episode seven, which is next sunday, is my favorite. and inner demons come out. and it gets kind of ugly. >> because you both have mysterious pasts, your characters, i should say, not you guys in real life. talk to me about how your fans reacted. off camera, we were talking about it with our crew here, this show has been able to breakthrough when there are so many shows out right now, but people love "the arrangement." what is it about it and what are you hearing? >> everyone wants to hear about hollywood and what happens behind the scenes and how it is very intriguing. but these are real characters. and you want to know why kyle is involved in an institute, like he is, or why is megan signing a contract? it's kind of like -- you kind of question it yourself, too. would i do something like this? would i sign a contract? >> i think the answer is yes, but go ahead.

>> i went to drama school and remember sitting in the audition rooms with a bunch of other stocky, dark-haired dudes. and i saw you in the early audition scenes and i'm like, hitting very close to the bone. for you guys now playing someone with so much fame and obviously playing someone that is kind of on the come-up, do you find any touch-tones from the struggle days, from the hi, here's your read for romeo? >> a little too real. >> this business is a business of rejection. that's something you have to get used to. and, you know, we have both ben through that as actors and actresses. but kyle west is now in a point where he can do whatever he wants film-wise and his life is kind of crazy. so megan morrison coming into his life and bringing reality back to his life is something refreshing for him. but our audience is going on this ride of, like, people are obsessed with tabloids and are obsessed with stories and everything else. so this is kind of the show about that world. and people are really addicted to it. >> well, congratulations on the

second season. thank you so much for being here. and you can catch "the arrangement" on sunday nights at 10:00/9:00 central on our sister station e! station e! and coming station e! and coming i had a wonderful time tonight. me too! call me tomorrow? i'm gonna send a vague text in a couple of days, that leaves you confused about my level of interest. i'll wait a full two days before responding. perfect! we're never gonna see each other again, will we? no-no. wouldn't it be great if everyone said what they meant? the citi double cash card does. it lets you earn double cash back. 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay. the citi double cash card. double means double.

my advice for looking get your beauty sleep. and use aveeno® absolutely ageless® night cream with active naturals® blackberry complex. younger looking skin can start today. absolutely ageless® from aveeno®. this morning on "today food" we have easter dinner on our mind. ham is a popular easter dish and it is versatile to eat it at breakfast, lunch and dinner. this morning we have a flavorful ham recipe and an easy and quick way to use the leftovers if you have any. courtesy of mr. adam richman, good morning to you. we have been all over this morning. >> we had you and tevin ca campbell.

this is a flavor i come to enjoy. maple, pineapple juice, cola, orange zest, just shave off the orange bit there, oil, dijon, we have some cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and some red pepper flake. >> easy enough. >> so the first thing i'm going to do, if i may, lightly score the skin. make a diamond pattern. don't go too far, but what that is going to do is create beautiful little bits for the texture on the surface. >> that's why they do that. >> right. you can even make a small hole. and these are the cloves, just puncture and put them -- >> all along the section there. >> right. you can punch it right through the surface of the skin of the turkey. then we're going to make the sauce. we basically put the turkey inside aluminum foil. >> it is still a ham, right? >> did you say turkey? >> sorry. that's coming through. we have maple syrup. we're going to put in our cola. >> colan. >> exactly right.

>> it smells sweet. >> there are no brand names in this cooking segment. pineapple. a little bit of some sugar. we have our dijon mustard. exactly right. >> can i be honest with you, did you know about cola on a ham? >> it makes sense with the sweet in it. >> it does. and also the carbonation. it helps to break the stuff down. >> that's what i didn't know. >> carb what? no carbs. we have the dry spices, we have the zest. we'll mix this in, let it all incorporate. >> it smells so good. >> i'm glad you like it. then we'll reduce it, let it come to a much more syrupy consistency, kind of like that. exactly like that. so we're going to glaze the ham like this and put it back in the oven for its final 20 minutes. >> how long do you put it in? >> initially, roughly, you want to think about 15 minutes a pound. you can actually go up to an hour a pound depending on the

bone-in and the size. but always trust your butcher when it comes to the cooking time. it can be an hour per pound. then you'll have your turkey leftover. this is my -- quick -- still ham. i'm rejecting the ham. my body is rejecting the ham. >> so really quickly, we have, i don't know what we have here. >> this is my version of easy pasta grecia. we have fava beans, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, olive oil. so we have our ham bits that have crisped up in the pan. we're going to actually just move them. we want to keep the lovely brown stuff. and then we'll just remove them from the heat. just put them all right here in front because we want to actually keep the ham fat in the bottom. exactly. >> put the other stuff in the -- >> exactly right. so in our pasta, right to the ham. a little bit of the pasta starchy water. >> you do. >> not as sloppily as i added

it. it's okay. it's the "today" show. >> we have 25 seconds. how do we make this? >> we bring the onions up to temperature. honestly, that's the nice thing about this. there's garlic, onions, mix it all together. and then finally, it's sort of the white verse of the pasta, ham, taste of romano. >> isn't that great? >> thank you so much. >> no worries. >> go to today.com/food to get this recipe and so many more. but first, this is "today" on nbc. >> it's ham.
