A beautiful start to the day but a busy one. Dylan is standing by with your holiday forecast in just a moment. First, President Trump, setting off fireworks of his own this fourth of july weekend. On sunday, the president posted this video to his twitter account, that shows him wrestling a figure with the cnn logo on it. Hes been ramping up his attacks against the media in recent days. And thats not all. Still insisting his november victory was tarnished by voter fraud, the president also took aim at some states that refusing to hand over their voter rolls. We have it all covered this morning, beginning with nbcs chief white house correspondent, hallie jackson. Good morning. Reporter good morning, craig. While its quiet at the white house today, not so much on twitter, where donald trump is decrying coverage of his presidency. His advisers would rather be talking policy, one day after that clip of a president slamming the Cable Network, literally. This morning, a fake fight with what the president calls a fake news network, generating real controversy for the commander in chief. I dont think anyone would perceive that has a threat. But i do think hes beaten up in a way on cable platforms that he has a right to respond to. Reporter the throwdown. Shown here, back to Donald Trumps wwe cameo, modified to show a cnn graphic, instead. A spokesperson for the Cable Network said, it is a sad day when the president of the United States encourages violence from and against reporters. Citing this comment from the press secretary just last week. The president , in no way, form or fashion, has encouraged or promoting violence. If anything, quite the contrary. Reporter the wrestling video appeared to have generated from the online forum reddit. Where supporters cheered the clips notoriety. And another tweet that took aim at msnbcs morning joe asked questions. Better rate berating those that talk about it. Your program, with the history of meet the press and thats what you want to talk about . I dont. Mr. Secretary, with all due respect, youre blaming me for what the president of the United States has spent his entire week focused on . No. Listen to me. With all due respect. The American People are concerned about a Health Care System thats not providing choices. Why isnt the president as devoted to this as you are . Well, i think that he is. Absolutely. The fact of the matter is, he can do more than one thing at a time. Reporter in the last five days, the president has tweeted 11 times about the media, just once about health care. With republicans still conflicted on how to move forward with repealing and replacing obamacare and when that might happen. Were getting close. I dont think were getting anywhere with the bill we have. Were at an impasse. Reporter as republicans grapple with that, some democrats defiant with something else. The president s election i Integrity Commission to fight voter fraud. Some states refusing to turn over information like dates of birth and last four digits of Social Security numbers. Some worried about voter suppression. The white house calling that backlash, a political stunt. While the president has tweeted about that this weekend, hes tweeted about whats happening on the Foreign Policy front, too, hinting it calls, today, with the leaders of germany and france, with plenty of headlines coming up this week. The president spoke with the heads of china and japan about the threat from north korea, something that will almost certainly come up when he leaves for his Second International trip this week to the g20 summit in germany. That will also be his first facetoface meeting with Vladimir Putin. Plenty of news on this holiday week. Craig and sheinelle. Hallie jackson, thank you. For more on the president s latest actions, were joined by elise jordan. Good morning to you. Hi. The president has gone after the media via twitter. And occasionally cnn specifically. Whats different this time . This is really his favorite twitter activity media criticism. And its a great punching bag for him. The medias Approval Rating is hovering below his. This is a battle, a fight he wants to pick. Whats different this time is there were some in the white house who were actually upset that the president has chosen to engage in a spat with the host of morning joe. And it deflected from cnn. So, this is a way to bring it back to cnn. Lets talk about health care for a moment, as the republican plan to deal with Health Care Fell apart last week. Trump had a plan of repealing and replacing it. The president may want to get something done, anything at this point. But what are the political implications for all of this and the realities an consequences for a member of congress and for the Trump Administration . Congressional members are going home to their states this week and seeing the local coverage of the impact that the senate bill would have on their constituents. Theyre facing pressure at home that President Trump is removed from. And hes disengaged from the policy process. You see how Vice President pence is quarterbacking this on the hill. Keep President Trump out of this. He is not engaged on policy. He would rather engage in media spats on twitter. Never a dull day. Elise, thank you for coming by this morning.

We saw women. We saw children. While we were in the old city, we had an opportunity to visit the nuri mosque.

Whatever your mood, we have a bean for you. Back, now, with a special Holiday Edition of today food. Whats the fourth of july without a little barbecue . Of course, this one we are grilling up ribs and some corn. Two different ways with eric, the executive chef of the tupelo honey bar and grill. I love ribs. Me, too. My favorite barbecue dish. You have pork ribs here. Were doing the home cooked version. Were not going to smoke them. Were going to cook them low and slow. Were going to give all these things here. The incredit yegreed yedient. Chili powder, mustard. You put it on both sides of the ribs . Got to get it in there, too. You get what youre looking for. There you go. So, 300 degrees covered with foil, in the oven. What cut of ribs . The st. Louis cut of ribs. They cut the membrane off. So, its cleaner, more beautiful, nice cut of pork. We go from there to the oven. From here to the oven. And we have, what does the cooking in the oven do before the grilling . You need to cook low and slow. It breaks down the collagen and it makes it tender and juicy. If you throw a raw rib on the grill, it will seize up and not taste delicious. What you do on the grill, is you want to finish them. The grills going hard. You want to go on the bone side. It protects the meat. It doesnt allow it to get hard. Bone side down. About a minute, minute and a half on this side. And well flip it when we sauce. And we can throw the corn on here. Were using charcoal. But you can use gas, as well. Charcoals the way to go. You sound like sheinelle jones. Husk on, i notice. You dont have to. Well boil the corn and soak the husk in cold water so it doesnt burn on the grill. It looks nicer. I think we need to flip those. These over here. Right here. Its smoking. These are amazing. You keep talking. Sweet, its not going to. Lets talk about this sauce. This is probably my favorite sauce ive ever made. Blackberry has beBarbecue Sauce let me help you out. Please do. That would be awesome. We have brown sugar. Ginger. Pretty much thats it. A little bit of honey. When do you start baste sg. About right here. Go for it. Flip these back over and give them 30 seconds to get a little char on the sauce. Dylan said we should have flipped them about five minutes ago. Dylan knows better than we do. Fair enough. Learned that a long time ago. Flip these over. About 30 seconds on that side and were golden. How can you tell on the grill when the ribs are ready. When they look delicious and bubbling and beautiful. Got to eyeball it. Thats why youre the chef. If i didnt know, i wouldnt have a job. Blackberry habernaro Barbecue Sauce. So easy. Go in a sauce pan about 20 minutes. Strain it. Tip on the ginger as well. Back of a spoon, just of course its not going to work on tv. Just like this. Nice and easy. Nobody gets hurt. Oh, thats useful. Right. Cool. So were going to go with blackberrys, ketchup, brown sugar, honey. Probably not going to turn this on. Thats a lot. That is a lot. Can i stick my finger in. Interesting. Thats a nice contrast. Whats the verdict down there. We really like it. Its very different. Make sure we get delicious double dollar. Whats the story on the fruit mixed with the pepper. Fruit, savory, sweet, acidic. Little bit of everything. Fruits are good medium for that. We do another Barbecue Sauce here. Thats so tender. Another sauce. Have to get to the website to get that one. Whats on the corn . We love everything. Ranch dressing with potato chips and country ham with red peppers and parsley. Big thanks to you. Go to today. Com to get this recipe. Today. Com food.

Roads are closed and evacuations are under way near a fastmoving wildfire in central california. The spring fire is burning in mariposa, forcing many families from their homes this Holiday Weekend. Right now, the fire is just 10 contained. Firefighters say the mountainous terrain is the biggest obstacle theyre facing. While many structures are threatened so, far there have been no reports of damage. Meanwhile, starting today, cal fire is suspending burn permits in several bay area counties in an effort to prevent any wildfires here. The hot weather, dry lands, and fireworks make for a bad combination. Since the start of the year, cal fire already has responded to more than 2,100 wildfires statewide. And happening now its a good day on wall street. The dow rose 150 points, the highest its been since march. The boost comes from strong showings by several banks on the stock market. And a man accused in the deadly shooting of an east bay mother is set to be sentenced today.

For afib patients wellmanaged on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop.

Sunny anderson, giving us her take on bbq chicken and the pound cake. You eat a slice, you gain a pound. My grandma made fun of me growing up. All of the grandmas out there. They are so simple. This is what i do. These are recipes that you can see now and do today. All right. The first thing that we show you how to do is my o. J. Barbecue butterfly chicken. Okay. A long sentence but very simple. It takes a Little Orange juice, light brown sugar, dark brown sugar, use it. Grainy dijon mustard. I have the chicken here, its been butterflied. Were taking out the backbone. And dylan and i were talking about this before. You can pull out the breastbones right here, the ribs. I like to leave them in, more bone, more flavor. You can ask your butcher to do this. Dont smile too much, ladies, he might ask you out. Somebody that speaks for experience. If we go on a date and it doesnt go good, where do i get my meat from . It wasnt going to happen. Salt and pepper on both sides. Youre kwoigoing to let this si room temperature. I know what youre doing, al. You move on from the chicken. The number one mistake that people make when grilling, is they put the meat on the grill when its cold. This is our orange juice from the fridge. Little light brown showinger. Or dark if you like. Just more molasses with the dark brown. Grainy dijon and hot sauce. You cook that up. When it cooks down, it thickens nicely. Nice and thick. Well move down to this. Its been sitting for a couple hours. Its salt and peppered up. We have olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, who cares . If you do this on the grill, direct heat or indirect . Direct heat for the sear. Incorrect heat for flipping it. If you start it on the grill, you do a baste moment over the ribs. I say, leave it with the salt, pepper and olive oil. This will take about ten minutes to sear and youre going to flip it. The oven temperature is 375. And the grill is just as hot as you can get it. Were going to come around here. Well show you what happened. We have this over here and its been searing. You dont have to put a weight on it. You dont have to. A lot of people do, like the brick oven chicken moment. Sometimes i will do a heavy pan. Or im a tender. I will push it down. Just falling in love with the skre scents. Thats datie ining out of yo species. Youre going to get this in the oven. The goal temperature is 165. You take it out about 145. And you start glazing it with the o. J. Barbecue sauce. Its so good. So simple. You dont have to brian this chicken. You can do this today. Have you heard of a poke cake . I have. The poke cakes are coming back. Poke cake. This is simple. You can do this today. Go to the bakery section, and get the pound cake they already made for you. Right . Now, youre talking my language. Poke cake started some housewife made a really dry cake and had to fix it. You poke holes into it. Make even spaced holes. I like to go almost down to the bottom. And i have a really simple syrup. This is just some jam that i loosened up with a little bit of lemon juice. This is raspberry jam. You take a funnel and you pour it in. You continue with the holes. Then, what youre going to do, is then, i have some scour cream. A little bit of brown sugar. A little bit of vanilla. Stir this up. That alone. This is a good fruit dip. Heres the thing, youre making holes on top of your cake. You have to cover it. When we cover the holes with the actual sour cream thats sweetened, a little bit of tart, what am i going to do . Thats good. For the first time, i think im getting stuffed. Girl, the way you buttered up that corn earlier, you can come over any day. Sunny anderson, thank you so much. Thank you. For the recipes head to coming up tomorrow i think youre all adults.
