And winters last gas . Heavy snow leading to accidents and Power Outages from the midwest to new england. While millions deal with a drastic blast of cold that has temperatures plunging by as much as 40 degrees today. Thursday, march 13th, 2014. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everyone. We welcome you to today on this thursday morning. Im matt lauer along with tamron hall. Savannah is off. Joined by Natalie Morales and al roker as well. Busy news day. Its so hard to believe so few answers related to that flight 370. Were almost at a week since this happened. Thats right. Well have much more on that story coming up. But our top story today is that tragedy at the south by southwest festival overnight. It was caused by an alleged drunk driver. Our nbc affiliate kxan is at the scene. Sophia, good morning to you. Reporter matt, police say a suspected drunk driver tried to escape police, but then led them on a chase, plowing down a crowd of people and then eventually crashing into several cars. Everywhere you look, somebodys been hit. Reporter a terrifying scene overnight after a suspected drunk driver refused to stop for police, taking them on a highspeed chase before plowing through barricades set up for the south by southwest festival and into a crowd of people. The car barrels down ninth and red river, goes down red river and hits multiple people. An unfortunate, very sad, multiple people down all the way down the street. Reporter the aftermath deadly. At least two people on a moped were killed, and five more in how long ago did this happen . Ten minutes ago. Not even. Maybe five. Probably five. Yeah. Were still kind of shooken up about it. Reporter minutes after the incident this video posted on youtube captured the reaction of eyewitnesses who were headed to a concert. We were waiting to get into the show. And we were, like, around the side. And all of a sudden this car just, like, came driving through, like, hit ten people. Probably going, like, 70 miles per hour. Took off, hit all these people right here. I just saw all these people, like, flying. It was terrifying. Reporter police say the driver tried to flee on foot but was tased and is in custody and is expected to be charged with two counts of murder. Police say this area will be blocked off for the remainder of the day as they continue their investigation. Reporting from downtown austin, back to you. Sophia, thank you very much. Well, there are new developments in the hunt for malaysia air flight 370. Weve learned the area in this chinese saltellite image showin possible debris has already been searched, but nothing was found. And there was a report overnight that data transmitted from the plane suggests it flew for four hours once it lost contact. But malaysian Officials Say that that may not be the case. Nbcs tom costello covers aviation for us. Good morning, tom. Reporter hi, tamron. Yeah, the wall street journal reporting this morning that the data transmitted by the planes engines suggest the engines kept running, and the plane kept flying for four hours after the plane went off radar. The malaysian government this morning insists its been in communication with boeing and the engine maker, rolls royce, and the reports, it says, are inaccurate. Meanwhile, no sign of the debris the chinese say their satellites may have captured images of. There in the waters south of vietnam, images that a chinese satellite took and that the Chinese Government News Agency Says could be three large pieces of wreckage from flight 370. The photos were taken at 11 00 a. M. Sunday. But this morning malaysian Officials Say so far theres no sign of that debris. Maritime Surveillance Team was dispatched this morning to investigate potential debris shown on chinese satellite images. We deployed but found nothing. Reporter whatever the chinese photos captured, it would have been very close to flight 370s original flight plan which took it over the waters towards vietnam. Radar tracked the plane making a slight jog to the right as it followed its normal flight path. Then nothing. No turn, no radar contact, no transponder, no radios. So for me, this is, like, yeah, its a big mystery. Ive never seen anything like this. I really dont know what to believe. Reporter meanwhile, the malaysian military says its still examining radar tapes to see whether the plane it tracked making a sharp lefthand turn, flying over malaysia and towards the indian ocean was indeed flight 370. With confusion over where the plane might be, the defined search zone has grown to 31,000 square miles. To the east of malaysia, the South China Sea and the gulf of thailand. To the west, the strait of malacca and the andaman sea. A very large area, just to give you some comparison, its about as large as the caribbean. Thats about the comparison. Reporter in kuala lumpur, nbcs keir simmons says officials involved seem confused at times. Every day you hear malaysian officials trying to explain, but as yet inexplicable, they still cant say for sure whether the plane even changed direction. Their answers at times contradictory. Reporter meanwhile, the question remains this morning just where is flight 370 . U. S. Military and intelligence agencies say they have no information on those chinese images. Meanwhile, if the plane had kept running for four hours after it disappeared, then this plane could have flown 2,200 miles further. Still no trace whatsoever. Matt, back to you. Yeah, that expands the search area considerably. Tom, thanks very much. So all eyes now are turning to the pilots of that boeing 777. Did they play a part in its disappearance . Nbcs Kevin Tibbles is in the cockpit of a 777 Flight Simulator up in toronto with more on that. Kevin, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt. We are actually flying on autopilot right now in this simulator of the 777, the same sort of plane that the Malaysian Airline pilots would have been flying. This is what tom was just talking about, the autopilot here. This plane at the moment is flying on autopilot. And if the plane was going to divert its route, the route either would have had to have been punched into the autopilot, or the autopilot would have had to have been disabled in order for that plane to turn around. Many questions about what was going on with the autopilot during the flight because, of course, it should have been working properly at the time the plane disappeared. A lot of other questions are focusing down in this area of the cockpit here. This is the transponder. The transponder is what tells the pilots where they are and perhaps most importantly, matt, it tells people on the ground where the plane is. This transponder apparently was not working. And what is interesting about that where the questions are coming from there, the 777 has five backup Power Sources on board the plane in case theres any sort of a power loss. Backing up those five Power Sources, matt, are eight hydraulic Power Sources. People here that run this simulator tell me it would be a lot easier to win the lottery several times over than lose complete power in the cockpit of the 777. So the big question is, why wasnt this transponder working . Was it turned off . Matt . Kevin tibbles, thank you very much. Let me bring in greg fite, former ntsb investigator. Good morning. Good morning. Youve seen that kevin has given us a tour of the simulator cockpit. Is there anything in that cockpit that you think investigators need to look at first . Given the fact that there are five Power Sources, that we probably know that the airplane stayed powered for it to fly not only that hour and a half for the radar data but continued on. Youve got radar i mean, youve got radio and transponders. Lets talk about the transponder. Kevin showed us where it is. Said that it could be turned off. I know there are a lot of people who speculate that a poilot or someone in that cockpit deliberately turned it off, and you think thats one of the possible scenarios. Why, though, can it be turned off . Why would you want that . Because when the airplane is operating on the ground, you dont want it squawking the data code because it clutters all of the groundbased radar. And if you have a problem in the air with the transponder, lets say the air Traffic Controllers lose your data tag, theyll ask you to recycle it. So you either turn it off or hit a button. And talk now about if this is a situation where one of the pilots decided to deliberately down this aircraft, that pilot would have had to neutralize the other pilot because youd have to assume both wouldnt be involved in this. And in the small confines of this cockpit, if one of the pilots managed to get a weapon on board, thats not that difficult. And we have to go back to silk air because that was the scenario that we were investigating and found very good evidence of it, especially when we had the cockpit voice recorder. Greg, thank you very much. Youre welcome. The more information, the more we see, the more questions. Every day its something new. Greg, thank you very much. Lets go back over to tamron. Matt, thank you. The death toll is rising from a tragic gas explosion here in new york city. At least seven people were killed when two buildings collapsed. More than 70 others were injured. And this morning crews are still searching through the rubble for still others who are missing. Nbcs katy tur is at the scene. Katy, good morning. Reporter good morning, tamron. You can still see the smoke and steam rising from that charred pit. Officials believe it was a gas leak that caused all of this. The explosion was so strong, it shook the earth for blocks, blew out windows and has now left at least seven dead, and many more still unaccounted for. Two buildings reduced to rubble in an instant. It sounded like a bomb went off. All my windows shattered. We thought that the train had exploded. Reporter an explosion and fivealarm fire in east harlem sent people on this busy new york city street running for cover. On the buildings first floors, a church and piano store. Above them, 15 apartments. Family members frantic to find missing loved ones. We just want to know if hes all right. Thats all we want to know. And the dog, too. Thats it. He doesnt pick up. I just want him alive. I just want to find him. Thats all i want right now. If youre listening, george, please, if youre outside, whatever, give us a call, please. This is a tragedy of the worst kind because there was no indication in time to save people. Reporter the victims identified so far include 22yearold rozar barrios, a Security Officer and 67yearold dental hygienist carmen tanko. Con edison was called to a building down the street for the smell of gas 15 minutes before the explosion. By the time workers got there, nothing could be done. Ruben left his now decimated building minutes before. He said he smelled gas tuesday and that it was even worse a month ago. A few months ago. Thats when it was the worst. Thats when we couldnt enter the building. Reporter the fire that had been burning underneath that rubble is now finally out, allowing rescue workers and recovery workers to get in there. Also, investigators to get in there so they can try and pinpoint exactly what went wrong. Matt and tamron . Katy tur, thank you very much. Lets talk now about the latest brutal blast of winter. Parts of the northeast are dealing with blizzard conditions this morning while millions from washington, d. C. , up to new york cope with dramatic temperature drops. Nbcs dylan dreyer has made her way to syracuse, new york, where its snowy and very cold. And dylan, according to a tweet you sent out last night, it was a difficult trip to get there. Reporter matt, you dont even understand. It was no small feat trying to get to this Winter Wonderland here in syracuse. I ended up driving here from new york city, if i can get my way through this ended up driving from new york city. It was 50 degrees when i left. It was 7 degrees by the time i got here. And i drove through it all. Heavy rain, sleet and freezing rain and then the heavy snow. And it was the heavy snow that caused some Serious Problems on the roadways yesterday. Take a look at this 40 to 50car pileup on the ohio turnpike yesterday. It caused about a tenmile backup. Three people were killed and an ohio state trooper is in serious condition right now. And other areas hit hard, western new york where buffalo has had its second blizzard this season. Thats the first time in history. They ended up with about a foot and a half of snow. Parts of vermont ended up with about two feet of snow. Here in syracuse, we have about a foot of snow on the ground. But now the big story is the brutal cold. We have ten degrees below zero for our windchill. And you can see that the campus is pretty much empty. Why, al . Well, its spring break here in syracuse university. Everybody trying to head somewhere warmer, which today its not too hard to find all that warmth. If you need to find someplace warm, go to dinosaur barbecue. The barbecue pit there is fantastic. Its fantastic. Reporter ill gladly do that. Best barbecue going. All right. Lets show you whats happening. Again, here goes the storm. Its finally moving out. Thats the good news. It is going to dump a little more snow. About three to six inches generally in northern new england. But in far northern maine up to another foot of snow before its all over. And as dylan mentioned, we are looking at strong winds barrelling around this lowpressure system. So windchills a big factor. Right now it feels like its about nine below in syracuse. Nine in cincinnati. Washington, d. C. , its 25 but a windchill of nine. And afternoon highs, look at this. This is 36 degrees in washington, d. C. Thats 18 degrees below where it should be. 22 in cleveland. 11 in caribou. We dont really see much in the way of a warmup until we get to about mid weekend. And then sunday, monday, maybe it will start getting better. No. Or wednesday. I guarantee you this is over by july. Thank you. Going out on a limb. Appreciate it. Bringing light wherever i can. Thank you for the light, mr. Roker. Natalies here with the headlines includining more developments on that General Motors recall. More tough questions. After handing over documents in the wake of that massive recall. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is at gm headquarters in detroit. Gabe, good morning. Reporter natalie, good morning. Gm now says it noticed a problem with its ignition switches back in 2001. Thats three years earlier than it had previously reported. Overnight federal regulators released the updated timetable. Gm just submitted explaining what the company knew and when. The carmaker now says it found the problem with an ignition switch back in 2001 during preproduction of the saturn ion. And in 2003, there were reports of ignition switch problems linked to ion stalling. Gm had previously said it only became aware of similar issues in 2004. Last month, gm recalled more than 1. 5 million older model compact cars including chevy cobalt and pontiac g5. The company asked consumers to avoid heavy keychains because they could cause the ignition switches to shut off suddenly, disabling power steering, making brakes less effective and disarming the air bags. The problem is linked to 12 deaths. So why the revised timetable that suggests concerns popped up earlier than first reported . Gm says its now conducting a more indepth analysis. And the automaker is stressing that its cooperating fully with federal regulators. A gm Spokesman Says todays gm is fully committed to learning from the past while embracing the highest standards for quality and performance now and in the future. Gm is now facing scrutiny on multiple fronts. The Justice Department is looking into whether gm may have violated a federal law that requires carmakers to report problems to the government promptly. And natalie, congress is also now planning hearings. All right, Gabe Gutierrez in detroit for us, thank you, gabe. Ukraines acting Prime Minister will be here in new york today to address the u. N. Security council. President obama welcomed him to the white house on wednesday. The president warned that the west will apply a cost if russia continues its aggression in ukraine. He also called a crimean secession vote scheduled for sunday illegitimate. There is a beer controversy brewing in boise. Minor League Hockey fans are suing the owner of a local arena over beer cup sizes after a fan discovered that you could take a 16ounce beer sold in the arena there for 4, and you could pour it into a large size cup listed at 20 ounces which sells for 7. The problem is the two cups hold virtually the exact same amount of beer. Hmm. The arena president says he was unaware of the discrepancy, or mouthwash, and he plans to order 24ounce cups to give fans a better value. Which explains why most of our crew members here are wearing black arm bands today in solidarity. Yeah. I bet that happens a lot. I love that a guy discovered that. Like wait a minute fool me once, shame on you. All right. Mr. Roker. Quick look, show you whats going on out there. Weve got a gorgeous day down through texas into the southwest.

Reporter this forensic expert back on the stand today and oscars lawyer is grilling him about how the evidence was handled. When we looked at the photographs on that day, the bat was found in different positions. Were trying to find out who preserved the scene and how it was possible for the bat to change positions. Reporter oscars lawyer even accusing police of misplacing wood pieces from a bathroom door. You say you had the wooden pieces. I cant remember. I spoke during the conversations about the missing pieces. I could not i could not determine the location. Reporter a key element of the prosecutions case, all those neighbors who testified they heard screams and then gunshots. But the defense is fighting back, saying at that distance, neighbors couldnt tell the difference between gunshots through that door and the sound of oscar hitting it with a cricket bat right after. Lets see what kind of noise we can make while striking this against the door. Reporter in court this morning, this Youtube Video taking center stage. The defense says it supports their case. This california man, a selfdescribed crime scene analyst, set up an experiment. Thats pretty loud. That sounded to me Something Like a gunshot. Reporter he placed an audio recorder about 580 feet away. The distance of oscars neighbors. Heres the cricket bat noise. Then he fired a. 9millimeter pistol, the same type of gun oscar used. Okay, now heres how they sound on the recorder 580 feet away. Cricket bat first. Now the gunshots.

Al, thank you very much. Now to idaho where the governor has signed a bill that will allow guns on college campuses. Its a controversial measure thats generated a lot of debate and an eyeopening letter from one professor. Heres nbcs joe fryar. Im a biology professor, not a lawyer. And i had never considered bringing a gun to work until now. But since many of my students are likely to be armed, i thought it would be a good idea to even the Playing Field. Reporter at boise state university, greg is a dna expert suddenly diving into politics, concerned about plans to allow guns on college campuses. He recently wrote a satirical law to lawmakers published in the New York Times and headlined by a shocking question. When may i shoot a student . Reporter when may i shoot a shun student . Reporter thats provocative. Mass shootings like virginia tech, newtown and columbine often tom to mind when discussing guns in schools. But his tongueincheek letter focuses how teachers might feel in a classroom where guns are legal. He writes about past encounters with disgruntled students. I always assumed that when they reached into their backpacks, they were going for a pencil. But now that well all be packing heat, i would like legal instruction in the rules of classroom engagement. Reporter he asks, if i am working out a long equation on the board and several students try to correct me using their laser sights, am i allowed to fire a warning shot . Do you have any concerns about your safety if this passes . No. Honestly, no. Reporter rather he hoped his letter would draw attention to a bill in the Idaho Legislature thats opposed by the leaders of all eight public colleges. But supporters say those with enhanced concealed carry permits have a right to protect themselves within campus borders. I personally look at this more of an individual protection, not for the masses but for the individuals. Reporter state representative jason monk has three kids in college including kelby who plans to carry a gun on campus. Hes more worried about everyday criminals, but School Shootings concern him, too. I wouldnt be able to live with myself knowing that i watched something so horrible and heinous happen and that people were murdered, and i just had to lay down and just hope that i wasnt next. Reporter with so many opinions, the professor opened up debate in class. In a situation where when youre defending yourself, you are reacting to an attack, why not try to level the Playing Field as much as possible . People are going to carry whether you restrict them or not. I have a concealed carry. I dont necessarily think its appropriate on campus. Im kind of torn on it. People are talking about it. All over the country. Reporter he says he just wanted his letter to generate opinions. Something everyone has a license to carry. For today, joe fryar, nbc news, idaho.

Its been a year since pope francis was elected the leader of the worlds catholics. A wall street journal poll states they believe the pope has strengthened their faith and the Catholic Church. All you have to do is listen. In one short year pope francis has changed the conversation about the Catholic Church. At loyola university, chicago, they talk about him in theology and business classes. What did your marketing class think of pope francis Brand Management . Thinks its great. They all agreed that the pope certainly is changing the image of the church. Reporter he gets high marks from these student faith leaders who think of francis as one of theirs because the pope from argentina is a jesuit, like the priest who runs their school. He does a very good job representing our generation or the community i have here a loyola. In our generation people can identify with him because he just talks about how to love each other. Reporter jorge was one of 3 Million People on rios beaches for the popes mass. He gets down to the people and just talks to them where its normal, not look up to the visionary stuff. Reporter a message he delivers in his italian or his native spanish. To be able to hear and speak spanish and for my mom to understand it and my family to understand it, its just so important to me. Being a gay catholic, what he says about gays and lesbians, its not changes what the Catholic Church has to say but it is changing the voice of how it is said. Reporter they love that this pope prefers the bus to the limo, carries his own brief case, will stop for a selfie and laughs at himself. He is, they say, just like us. Do you like the fact that he doesnt like the bling . I love it. The red shoes are a little much. Reporter you like the brown ones better . Yeah. I think that the voice of the pope is a really great voice, but i think its i mean, the church is us. Hes just like us. Reporter now these young changes dont expect change on issues such as gay rights, contraception and abortion but they like thats not all the pope talks about, they love his emphasis on the poor and helping your neighbor.

We have an update now on a story that generated an awful lot of debate around here and online. Its about that new jersey teenager whos suing her parents to pay her bills. Thats after she says they kicked her out of the house. The parents say she moved out. Either way, 18yearold rachel canning is now back home with her family this morning. This, after a judge denied her request for Financial Support and recommended instead that the family try counseling first and fast. Well, a lawyer for rachels parents says the honors student has moved back home without conditions. In Court Documents rachels attorneys says her parents are pressuring her to drop the lawsuit as you would expect them to do. Im hopeful with both sides being in the home, maybe they can reconcile as opposed to rachel being at the neighbors home and having that middle person which the judge said they needed counseling. Its hard. Right now its a legal issue. Maybe they can become a family when theyre under one roof. Whos going to play her in the mtv movie . Mila kunis. There you go. All right.

All right, all right, all right. Tens of millions of americans are currently living paycheck to paycheck all too often struggling to decide which bills they can pay. In february Maria Shriver released a report. Now shes telling one womans story in the hbo documentary paycheck to paycheck, the life and times of katrina gillmer. Even nurses say a nice job is the back bone to the nursing field. It can be rewarding. You meet very good people, but you also lose them and its very hard. Yeah, john, ill be back tomorrow. 9. 49 an hour for what we do. Maria shriver and katrina gilbert, nice to see you both. In this country we talk about the very, very poor and the very, very rich. This is a group that katrina is a part of that encompasses so many layers of our society. Why did you want to tell her story . Because her story is the story of 42 million women and the 28 million children who depend on them. Katrina has three children herself. Its the story of people, regular americans working really hard and cant get above the brink of poverty. You see every issue thats being debated kind of unfold in katri katrinas life. You come out and say i understand that. So many people say thats me and we can do better. Katrina, this is very personal. You talk about things that a lot of people dont like to talk about, especially with cameras following you around. Why did you decide to let that happen . I decided to let it happen hopefully to inspire somebody that was in the same circumstances as i was, to inspire them and show them that they could do it. Do you think that there are misconceptions about people who are in your situation living paycheck to paycheck . I think there is. I think there is misconception, yes. In my case, i was married for ten years, it just didnt work out. You struggle with the same things that a lot of people do. Youve got to make car payments, house payments, health care payments, things like that. I know you got a raise recently. Yes. What did that take you from and to . It took me from 9. 49 an hour to 9. 63 an hour. 14 cents. Thats how the film actually ends, first raise in two years. I think katrina 14 cents extra an hour. Yeah. When you see in the film the work she does, taking care of peoples parents who have alzheimers who are in nursing homes, working so hard seven days a week, eight days a week to provide for her family, we live in a country that doesnt provide child care. She doesnt get any benefits whatsoever. And i think when you talk about misconceptions, people often think that people who are on the brink of poverty are sitting around. She is a working woman with children who depend on her trying to better herself, go back to school. Cant get financial aid. Its a kind of box that she finds herself in. Carson, weve put this up online. Carson is in the orange room. Hes got some people who are i guess have questions. Carson, what do you have . People giving some tips here too, matt. We found walk more, save money on gas and transit fare. Try it for a week and see how much save. Thats a good tip. Stephanie wrote in, what helps me is taking my lunch to work with me and taking my coffee at home. I save 240 a month. Use coupons. Never go Grocery Shopping without a list. Youll always overspend. Use paychecktopaycheck. Do you mind that we do this . Can we bring the special people in your life into the studio . Yes. These are your kids . And these are the people that you are working so hard to support. Hi, guys. Hi. How are you doing . Good. Everybody good . I mean, this is the face of a family here. This is an american family. When you hear what shes making per hour trying to support this family, its incredibly difficult. And give them a better life. Whats really exciting, matt, had this airs on hbo, were having gatherings all over the country. More than 500 people have signed up to talk about these issues debated in america. When you see these kids in the film, your heart opens up. I think you drop judgment and you say that i dont think you can look at a Woman Working like katrina again, or a man, and think they dont deserve better, something we cant do. Katrina, thank you for sharing your story. I think its very brave of you and very smart that youre trying to spread the word. Thank you. Good morning. Guys, good morning. Thank you to you. We appreciate it. Maria, as always. Paycheck to paycheck appears monday on hbo. Go over to tamron. So powerful, matt. Thank you so much. To one of the oldest and best known stories in the world, noah and the big flood. Its headed to the big screen at the end of the month. Critics are lining up. Heres nbcs janet shamlean. Reporter with headliners and a budget set to top 120 million, its on track to be a hollywood best seller. Build a vessel. Reporter but weeks ahead of its opening, the biblical epic noah about the great flood is already awash in controversy. In a rare move Paramount Pictures has put a displame k claimer. It will appear in all marketsing going forward. The film is inspired by the story of noah, it reads. Artistic license has been taken. It concludes the biblical story of noah can be found in the book of genesis. Its clearly a move to apiece religious critics. The studio is doing this because theyre walking a very fine line here. They want this movie to be a wide mainstream hit that will appeal to global audience bes regardless of faith, but they want to do that while at the same time not alienating people who see the noah story as gospel. Reporter paramount confirms it has been banned from several middle eastern countries. Its not the first time religious leaders have clashed with movie makers on a faithbased film. The passion of the christ was criticized as, antisemetic. Noah could end up to be a boon as it creates curiosity. For today, nbc news, london. No question. Quite a controversy on the movie. And, yet, the more you talk about it, the more controversy, the more people are curious to see that as janet mentioned. Such a hunger for faithbased movies. Yes.

You always think that obama is being weak. Wa would you have done differently than he did in the days before Russian Troops went into crimea. First of all, it should have never happened. But what would you have done . It should have worked so that a thing like that doesnt happen. With all of that being said, it their but we should definitely be strong and show sangs. Putin has eaten our lunch for a long period of time. I hope that obama, who is not looking too good, doesnt do something very foolish and very stupid to show his manhood.

Welcome to today on thursday morning, march 13, 2014. Im willie geist along with al roker, tamron hall and Natalie Morales. It was almost like being at the Winter Olympics because so many people have been responding. I got a great tweet from somebody who said, is that a sochi ice skating outfit . I take that as a compliment. Our producer al in the orange room said they had how many people have responded to natalies dress . The dashboard is full of tweets right now. I borrowed it. I love it. Men dont face this as much when the weather is this dicey. We change out our closets. You switch your wardrobe. He is an exceptional man. Most guys are like, let me put a jacket on. Al is like, let me see what ive got. Like clueless. It rotates around. I have to take a number when i go into my closet. Crazy. Like the shoes from sex in the city. How much longer . June. July you said earlier. I backed it up a little. Tomorrow we are better . A little bit. Not by much. Its a roller coaster. We might have something on monday, then again on wednesday. Out like a lion, i guess. Exactly. It was in like a lion and out like a wildebeest. Weve got more news to tell you about this morning. I wish we had more good news. Nothing definitive. No. The Malaysia Airlines flight. Yesterday china released photos taken by satellite in waters in south vietnam. There was excitement. The Chinese Government new agency said it could be three large pieces of wreckage. Malaysia officials sent a surveillance plane to investigate and so far found no debris there. Whatever the chinese officials captured, it would have been close to that flight path. This morning wall street journal reporting aviation investigators and National Security officials believe the missing plane kept flying for four hours after it was off radar. That comes from people who made the engine tracking data in there. They based it on it was automatically downloaded and sent to the ground from the planes engine, but the malaysiian government is denying that report saying that is not accurate either. We get pieces of information. They turn out to be refuted by the government. Bottom line, no sign of the plane. Terrible saying it, but i dont at this point believe anything. From day to day, it change is. Its day six. Going back to the families who are waiting in the staging area and one day youre told this information, the next day youre told something completely different. What we do know at this point is that someone has been incompetent here. I think a lot of the attention has been directed at the malaysian government. Its hard to believe that. We can focus on technology, but it sounds like there has been a lot of mishandling of information, especially given to the families. Thats why they are so outraged. And centralized how they are disseminating the information. They have 12 nations involved in this search and investigation. It gets to a point where there is no centralized effort. China stepped in because of incompetence, they say. Who knows. China may have ulterior motives. Another story we were following yesterday and is getting a lot worse as far as number of people who lost their lives. A horrific explosion in harlem. A fivestory Apartment Building leveled in a matter of seconds. Someone reported 9 14 eastern time smelling the odor of gas outside that building. Soon after there was an explosion. Overnight more fatalities confirmed. The number right now, at least seven people, 70 others injured. In the midst of all of this, yet again you see the heroism by people in the middle of fear could flee the situation, but they go in to help one another. The New York Post is reporting a man found himself safe under a cloud of a flying piano. There is a piano repair place in that building. Colin paterson was a piano tech who lives behind the ground floor of the piano store. He heard a loud explosion. Said the whole building was moving. Its miraculous he was under a cocoon of pianos. You are hear miracle stories like that. I talked to a woman running out of the building. 50 people were behind her and they were trying to pull each other to safety there. I was watching our nbc station, news 4 new york. They were saying residents were saying theyve been smelling gas for at least a week. Some said even longer. Makes you wonder how could it go that long without somebody checking that out . This is a massive explosion. Columbia University Said it registered on the Richter Scale as a 5. We were talking about the story last week. The new jersey teenager who left home, sued her parents, wanted them to pay for her high school and college. Now she is back home. She has been reunited with her family. The parents attorney said yesterday the teen is home without any conditions. The attorney also said the dispute had been settled amicably which we hope is the case. He refused to comment further on the litigation. He said there is a long road ahead. This is not something that is going to happen overnight. The point of this process, the healing needs to begin. Rachel canning claimed at the time she had been kicked out of the house after she turned 18. Thats when she moved in with her Friends Family and they funded that lawsuit. Last week rachel and her parents were in court. A lot of people, i think, it certainly sparked a lot of conversation around the country about what a child can do when it comes to not getting along with their parents and how far they could take it. The fact it made it through to at least the first judge, who seemed to have a lot of good sense to say, take this at home. Get a counselor. Lets get mediation here. Try to be a family again. It seems that is going to work out. No one at this table knows what is going on inside that house, inside that family. Hopefully we can let them work it out. It is interesting the dynamic between the two different families. The one family that took her in and funded her to hire a lawyer. I didnt know legally you could sue for your education in the state of new jersey. That is incredible. I will not have a kid. Ill borrow all yours. Youre willing to pay for their education.

That missing malaysian airplane has been dominating the news. It can be really scary. But this morning, we have a reality check, just something to ease your fears. We have with us a clinical psychologist and a life coach. How we deal with fear is the key, dr. Lombardo. Absolutely. Theres a lot of bad news out there, what are we going to focus on and concentrate on, we get to choose so lets choose wisely. And its natural. When things happen over which you have no control, that can cause a sense of learned helplessness. Its important to listen to the statistics. For example, the chance of dying in a flight and airplane crash, 1 in 7,229. Keep things in perspective. Logic tells us were way more likely to die because the bad eating habits and unhealthy behaviors that were in full control of. The fact that were worrying about things that are very unlukely are not good. You say its important to watch what we put into our brains and thoughts. And what else you surround yourself with. Especially right before you go to bed. Bring something more positive aufr watch the news, whether its reading, meditating. And worrying is counterproductive. Its about shifting your focus. Part of our problem as human beings is we confuse worrying as doing something but it diverts our attention from what we care about. What we should be doing is calling someone or meeting someone in person that we love. These fears remind us that we love, we care. And what about superstitions . People surround their fears by that. I wont get on the elevator to go to the 13th floor, i wont walk under a ladder. I call it umbrella syndrome. If i bring my umbrella, its not going to rain. Thats not true at all.

The great thing about being human is you can change your thoughts, choose your thoughts, press a pause button and decide what you are want to think about. You cannot be thinking about how much you love your children, your familiar or your friends or what youre going to do today thats going to be great and also be worrying at the same time.

Good thing we have Home Improvements experts shane duffy here. Good to see you. How are you . Im great. Talk to me about what im wearing right now. It looks good. Our producer wanted me to wear it but theres no buckle. If you dont have a buckle, thats a great way to do it. This is great. I love this because its super easy and convenient. Lets say youre missing a glove or one of them wore out. It happens. You can make it into a makeshift tool belt. You got your hammer here, flashlight. Youre like mcgyver. Let me show you how to quickly do this. Instead of wearing a big tool belt just wear this little thing. Cut a little slit here, cut a little slit right there, beautiful, drop the hammer. Cut it right here for the belt loop. Let me put a disclaimer about this. You might get laughed off the job site. Not going to happen. What are we doing with soap and nails here . This is a clever tricky learned, passed down from generation to generation. Instead of nailing in or screwing in, put it through so and it gives you a little film and you can hammer it in much more smoothly and its less friction. Does that help the wood from stopping splitting . It helps it from stopping splitting because theres less friction on there. I use this tip more for when you buy furniture thats already prefabricated. Sometimes the holes arent as big as the screws so you run a little so on it. You have a ladder. Lets say youre up here, you got your hammer and you dont want to hold your hammer. Grab a cclamp, drop it in. Willie, how many cclamps do you have at home . I cant even count them. Not an aclamp, a cclamp. This is great. You always get those antislip rug pads. Take acrylic latex caulk, flip your rug over, go down a Straight Line. Thats a lot of caulk there. You dont want too much. You want to be generous but wow. You like that . So you want to let this dry for 24 hours before you put it down. You put it down and then its glued down to the floor. This one here, theres an example. Now it doesnt twist. So it dries in 24 hours make sure its acrylic latex. How do you keep a mess from happening when you drill into the wall . Is this you, by the way . You have framed photos of yourself in your home . Somebody set me up for that. Amazing. If i looked like you, id have a picture of myself. Nobody likes to clean up when theyre on a job site. A quick fix, i call it the envelope trick. You take an envelope, run some painters tape. Use painters tape so it doesnt take off any paint. So lets say youre drilling a hole right here. Take this look at that. It goes right in there. Shane duffy, we have a lovely parting gift for you. Thank you so much. Thats me. I got a couple extra tricks, though. You save those tricks. Im sure somebody will take you up on that. Mommwanna see whats in it . Ou. Yeah gasps you put it in here . Yeah.

When your little one is sick, you want to go above and beyond easing the pain but sometimes waiting is the best medicine. Why some benefits may benefit from a waitandsee approach. Good morning, doctor. Good morning. We hate to watch our kids suffer. Often its a high fever. I think a lot of us, our tendency is to rush to the medic medicine cabinet. You tell us to wait a little. Why . Fever is caused by a bacterial infection. I always say this dont treat the thermometer, treat your child. If your child is really flopping on the couch, not moving around a lot, isnt drinking and keeping up with fluids, treat with a fever reducer. There are some takeaways where you want to keep in touch with your pediatrician. If your baby is an infant, under three months of age, fever is not acceptable without a doctor visit. And if fever goes on for two or three days, we wonder what may be happening. If your kid is playing in the corner with their lego and happy, no need to treat the thermometer. Ear infections. The kid are so miserable. Well, theyre painful. Thats a great reminder that the most important medicine when it comes to ear infections are those fever reducers and pain reducers. Just in the last year the American Academy of pediatrics set out new guidelines. Over 50 of ear infections go away without an antibiotic. You want to make sure your pediatrician sees the eardrum before you treat with antibiotics. If your child is over age 2, you can use pain meds for the first couple of days to avoid that antib antibiotic. Sometimes ill see a patient in the office and ill write a prescription and say if your 6yearold is not better in two days, then start it. And with pink eye, wait a little bit first. Arent you concerned i mean, it is super contagious. It is contagious. Sometimes can you avoid antibiotics when, for example, if your child is older and over age 6 and if the gunk in their eye isnt causing the eye to be swollen shut, you might be able to get away with not using antibiotics. And ct scans. These can be life saving. At what point do you need to worry about getting your kid a ct scan . Youre right, they can help us diagnose things we didnt used to see. Theres ban fivefold increase in the number of ct scans children get. They provide ionizing radiation, which we think can lead to cancer later on. You can ask the radiologist to dial down the dose of radiation for a child. They really get pint sized doses. And ask for alternatives. Were out of time. Thanks so much. Great information. Were back in a moment. This is today on nbc kathie lee and hoda coming up next, what do you have . We have m good thursday morning to you. It is 9 56.

Hey must be the honey [ sparkle ] sweet. From nbc news, this is today with Kathie Lee Gifford and hoda kotb, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Hello, everybody. Its thirsty thursday. It is march 13th. And we have a big show today. Actor Christian Slater and former full house actress Lori Laughlin is here with our regular ambush makeovers and everybody still just loves. Crazy about. And everyone has a story. All today. Pretty amazing today. Very rarely do we get the person who writes in the story be the one who actually performs it. I saw her in the green room downstairs. Looking forward to that. What . Yesterday was a day i picked for bambinos birthday because we know he was born in march, but dont know the exact date. We have so many family, you know, birthdays in march. I picked one that somebody else didnt already have. So i just thought, all right, ill pick march 12th. Last night sitting there in front of the fire with frank and me and bam and the doggies, i thought you know what, lets celebrate a little bit. Lets do your first selfie. So thats it. Oh, my a long day. He had been celebrating all day long. I just said, you know, bambinos selfie. Thinking nothing of it. I actually have too much time on my hand. You cant believe the amount of people that wished him well. And their dogs and their cats wished him well. It was just no matter what you post on instagram or twitter, you put your dog up, and everyone clicks on it. You can put a newborn baby, maybe youll get clicks, but not like bambino. It is really crazy how it works. It really is. So, thanks, everybody. Its fun. Lets dish some dirt. What are we going to do about the bachelor, hoda . Juan pablo, everyone hates him. Is pablo his last name . No he has another name but nobody cares abo s abous about. Juan pablo is on the cover of people magazine. He may be the worst bachelor in the history of the show, but hes not going down without a fight. He says hes not that bad guy. No, hes not. Well watch a couple of clips. Well watch what happened on the show this is what happened to his runnerup, the one he didnt choose. Clare. Clare. Lets watch. Oh, dear. I want them to know that they want to be with me. Orf course, i understand. I want you to be here. Youre special to me. Im going to follow what i think is best for me, and i have to say goodbye to you. Ill tell you what, i thought i knew what kind of man you were okay. But what you made me go through, i would never want my children having a father like you. Okay. And not over there. Maybe i will start watching this show. After she walked away, he whispered under his breath, he was happy he didnt choose her. Happy i didnt choose you. What a jerk. He makes her spill her guts, he practically tells her shes the one. Chosen. And in front of everybody, he dropped her like a bag of dirt. Worse than a bag of dirt. A bag of manure. Lets watch happened with nikki, the woman he chose. Im not 100 sure that i want to propose to you, but at the same time, im 100 sure that i just i dont want to let you go. I like you a lot. A lot. So, nikki, will you accept my final rose . Absolutely. Ew. I wish she said no, jerk. Wow. But wait, theres even more. Oh, my gosh. Im loving this. After the rose, there is a show called after the rose. Chris harrison was interviewing them. Chris got tense. Take a look. How much of it was real, do you think . Like you can actually express your feelings. This is the time to shine. I can express my feelings. This is what the hoe show is about. The show is about meeting somebody and falling in love and being happy. Did you . Did you fall in love . Im with somebody, look. Im happy. Ive been four months happy. I dont know what im looking at. I dont know what im looking at. You dont . We do. Are you happy . What was her answer . Is she happy . Mumble. Mumbling. Wow. Why cant chris be the is he married . He might be married. Hed be a good bachelor. He seems like a nice guy. Here is the funny thing, he did not say he loved her. It is hard when youre so in love with yourself. Right. But there are other guys on the show and i think three of the 18 if those numbers are right, 3 of the 18 people have wound up together. Of the rest of them, they didnt work out, they said i loved you, they proposed, they did all the things they want you to do on the show, it didnt work out. Im not defending the guy. He seems like a real you know what. What, hod. Elaine stritch is not here. Im not going to say anything. Golly day. I guess i can see why people are just glued. You cant believe that anybody is allowing themselves to be seen in such a light. Im not saying people should be phony and all that, but this is a huge life decision. To his credit, he didnt say i love you, if he doesnt. But he did say things to the girl the day before and a total switcheroo and sounds like some producer got to him and said, you know what would be awesome for television . I know too many people who do reality shows and theyre not the people on the show that are the people that i zblsnow know. There is such a fine line between charming and con. It looked like he was totally conning her and baiting her and making her it was horrible. And guys who are charming you have to look out for because theyre trouble. They always there is always another side because theyre so good at it. They need to charm everybody. Waitress, the girl over here, the those guys are trouble. Im just saying not from experience, i just heard. Oh. Those guys are trouble. All right. Lets go on to Matthew Mcconaughey. Something fun. Everybody has been wondering where all right, all right, all right came up. Well, we now know. In 2001 interview canadian talk show host. Not the mayor. Anyway say the name. I wont bother because george in interview, he was listening to the recording of the doors on jim morrison album and later that day, i guess they said the word in between songs. He went all right, all right, all right. They did it like four times or Something Like that. Later that day he was filming dazed and confused. His first film. And they were discussing his character with the director of the movie. The director told matthew four things that should motivate his character. His car, getting high, rock n roll and picking up chicks. What else is there in life. Look at what matthew had to say about that. All right, all right, all right, all right. I go, im in my car, im high as a kite, im listening to rock n roll, action. And there is the chick. All right, all right, all right. Three out of four. He actually had all four if you do it that way. Hes so charming. You know what, seeing something that old, thats from just 2011 yeah. Couple of years. Before he lost all the weight and everything, hes always hes a handsome guy. Still in love with his wife. She looked so great at the oscars. She was she was standing there with me and with al and matthew was talking an i was hardly listening because i just shes this far away and im going, oh, my gosh, shes so lovely. The nicest lady. Shes trying to get rid of my ihoda, but you cant. This is an oldie. You might like it. Jim croce. I will like it, i promise you. Okay. You know who you shouldnt miss around with . Leroy brown. No. Jim. Dont miss around with jim. Lets go. Not my favorite. What . No. I heard this in the park. Uptown got it the bowery got its bumps 42nd street son of a gun big and bad as a man can come stronger than a country hunk they say you dont tug on supermans cape dont spit into the wind dont pull the mask off the lone ranger and dont mess around with jim lets do that chorus one more time, shall we. Dont tug on supermans cape dont spit into the wind dont pull the mask off the lone ranger and you dont mess around with jim great songwriter. Great songwriter. Jim croce. He was awesome. He left behind such a legacy. Great, great music. Once in a while, you do it right, hoda. Is it okay or not okay to quit public life . Thats the question we were asked in okay magazine, which it says Jennifer Aniston is now getting married. But not specific. In june, but no mention if shes pregnant with twins. Okay, so, lets see what we had to say. Its best not to make sweeping declarations in the heat of an emotional moment, hoda. Calm down, honey. Take a breath and plan your next step without broadcasting it to the whole world until youre sure. That was very thoughtful. And lengthy. Heres mine, sure its okay, but why proclaim it. It is about what you do, not what you say. My gosh there is growth in you yet. Yeah. I like the sound effects. Coming up, ambush makeovers. And Christian Slater with a very provocative new film, right after this. My name is jenny, and i quit smoking with chantix. Before chantix, i tried to quit probably about five times. It was different than the other times i tried to quit. [ male announcer ] along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Its a nonnicotine pill. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke. That helped me quit smoking. [ male announcer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking, or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these, stop chantix, and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of mentalhealth problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away, as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or bloodvessel problems or if you develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping, and unusual dreams. My quit date was my sons birthday, and that was my gift for him and me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. I dont compromise. [ female announcer ] loreals excellence helps care for your hair as it colors. It protects, replenishes, conditions.

A guy who named for himself in heathers and true romance, he now plays in sorry. He knows how to sell a movie. Yes, he does. We like a guy that comes to play. Sorry, sorry. This is a very what would you call it, it is rrated, i would have to say, isnt it . Definitely what this is the rating on it . I dont know. I dont know. These things are kind of important to know before you do an international true, true. The armed forces carries us, you know what im saying . Very important. And big in prisons. You need to know that before you come on. Sure, sure. I think it is i dont know what the rating is. I have no clue. Have you seen the movie . I have seen the film. I saw the extended version of the movie extended. Yes. Dont even there is a shorter version and a longer version. Okay. Lets talk about your the directors cut. Right, exactly. We had a no, thats not. I cant even say that. I dont know. So your character you play you play the father of a nymphomaniac. I play the father. You have no sex scenes. Correct. Why not . You had sex at one time. Sure, of course. Had to be creative, so, yeah, that is true. But in this particular movie, no, i do not have to expose i do have to expose some parts of myself, but not the you seem a little young to be playing a dad of a how old is she . In her 20s . I play the father from the time shes about 12 to about 18. Okay. So the formative years of her life. And why does she become a nymphomaniac . I think she has a natural desire for sex, at a very early age. It is a natural thing. But as the course of the movie takes place, it becomes something that she starts to use to escape from feeling other things, like shes shes trying to avoid shes not in pain . She has a wonderful relationship with her father, she trusts her father greatly, but then she loses her father and i think she spends a lot of time trying to fill that void this has an unbelievable cast. It does, yeah. A lot of people were attracted to it in spite of its subject matter. Shia labeouf is in it. Shia labeouf. He went a little cuckoo afterwards. We were concerned after the News Conference. What happened . Were a sensitive bunch and, you know, we like to push the envelope and take a lot of chances. I think thats why working with somebody like von treer is so exciting. He is that type of director. He likes to do controversial things and do things that are terrifying. Denmark. They are much more open about a lot of this stuff. Thats true. I was happy when i saw the film in berlin with a european audience. They were less blown away by like the sexual aspect of the movie, more interested in the characters. That wouldnt happen here. I can tell you for a fact, my mother isnt going to see focus. If youre expecting them to okay, well, we know what audience that were going for. I have a were keeping you too long, but hes fun. A grandmother who is in her 80s and grandfather who is and they theyll go see it . Yes. Im desperate for them to see it. Theyre a fun couple. They had seven kids, and they have a big family. Theyre still i think theyre still having a good time. I think your mom listen, thank you, we love it when you come by. Thank you so much. Volume one.

And i always thought, i would pray i would have children and thankfully i do, and i said, i never want to put anything on film that my kids would one day be embarrassed. I wish kids would think about that. I tend to gravitate to family driven projects. Has he always loved everything you did .

You guys look so good [ male announcer ] this is jim. A man who doesnt stand still. But jim has afib, atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. That puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. For years, jims medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But now, with onceaday xarelto jims on the move. Jims doctor recommended xarelto. Like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesnt require routine blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. Not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. Get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto if you have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto. Onceaday xarelto means no regular blood monitoring no known dietary restrictions.

They melt in your mouth, while you kick up your feet and forget everything you thought about caramel. Like a throwback to the past, yet totally new. And thats new lancaster. Its caramel reimagined. Time now for everyone has a story. Jamie petron wrote us to tell us about her story of the journey she never thought she would take. Well meet jamie in a minute. But first, lets listen to her amazing story. My name is jamie petron and im a working actress. Though these days i find myself living a very different role. It all began in the fall of my sophomore year of college. I was a musical theater major and before the semester began, i was required to complete a routine physical. What i brushed off as a nervous stomach, the doctor took to be an undiagnosed ulcer. He started me on a prescription and a few months later i woke up unable to feel my legs. I was diagnosed with a severe allergic reaction known as Stevens Johnson syndrome. The doctors explained that this was the worst type of allergic reaction a person could have. And that i was lucky to be alive. Because Stevens Johnsons syndrome can be fatal. One more pill and i could have died. There was no prognosis. And no one seemed to know when or if i would ever walk again. Amidst the pain, frustration, fear, and confusion i looked around at everyones extravagantly normal lives, and i was convinced no one would ever understand what i was going through. Having been asked by the director of the Musical Theater Program to leave the school and come back when im better, because you cant be an actress in a wheelchair was enough to put me on the verge of breaking into pieces. This is one of those defining moments in life, where your heart outweighs any reason, and it was then that i made an unwavering decision. Why would a fellow no matter what, this is what i was going to do. If you want something bad enough, you find a way to make it work. The ironic part of it all, i spent half of my life trying to stand out. Now i seem to be fighting just to fit in. But i choose to see past my disability. For me, part of making it work now is proving to the next generation that anything is possible. Wow. Thats beautiful. Jamie is here with her mom. That was so well done, sally and her good friend. Lets say it together, shall we. Laura reyes. With jazz hands. Wow. What an amazing letter you wrote to us. Never had heard of this syndrome before. How rare is it . Very rare. This allergic reaction. It is rare here and in third world countries it is a lot more common, but here it is very, very rare. The way that you found strength, i mean, you muscled through it, and when you see yourself singing, you know, after you thought that maybe that would have to go up on the shelf, that must feel really good for you. It does. It is humbling, you know . I feel like there is so much to be grateful for because when you look at it, and you see that you could have been dead, you know, that thats only god. It is only god that got me through. And you it is funny because god gives you hindsight for a reason, you know . You look back. If you knew then what you know now, i dont know that it would be so easy. One thing to go through it yourself, another thing to have your child going through it. Tell us youre crying even now. Thats why we want to plan ahead. Tell us what you were going through. You see your talented, beautiful daughter going through this, out of the blue. Yeah. Well, yeah. It they called she called me from college and said, i cant walk. So went down there, got her, and it was tough. It was tough. Still tough. It is tough, but as she said, our faith got us through. You know, you just put it in gods hands. And he has a reason. So he does have a reason for her now and for her future. Shes doing great. She has an optimism that is infectious. So contagious. It really is. How big of a part did you play in this whole thing with your friend . The broadway community, that the acting community is very, very loving and supportive. Yeah. When theyre not ripping each others eyes out trying to get the same role, theyre very loving and supportive. We know. So what was it like for you . You know, you run the gamut of emotions watching jamie struggle, it was so frustrating for her and at the same time youre just in awe because shes so determined and such the way that she meets the world and life and her positivity, it is so inspiring and just unmatched by anybody. She wants to do something, shes going to do it. Shes going to find a way, you mean . Yes. Thats what we titled her song. By the way, i love when you have broadway singers come and sing the songs. Im excited to hear jamie sing the song you wrote for her. The song that David Friedman and i wrote for you. Ready, sweetie . A little bit of a rehearsal. The woman can sing. All righty.
