First up this morning, prominent new york senator who said shes had to put up with sexist comments from some of her male colleagues. In her book off the sidelines, Kirsten Gillibrand doesnt name names. She says one male senator told her in the gym, good thing youre working out, because you wouldnt want to get porky after she lost 50 pounds another senator said dont lose too much weight because i like my girls chubby. Gillibrand says that comment came from one of her favorite senators, by the way. She does defend some of them in some ways saying it might be a generational thing. She will be a live guest in our studio on september 9th. Does she name names . Thats what some people are saying. You put it out there and make peak speculate. When she says generational, you start thinking older and trying to narrow it down. Should she call them out . Still a boys club, 20 women out of 100 senators. Cant wait do hear what she has to say. You guys know the car brand bu gatti, right . Its really expensive. Dont feel bad if you dont. The cost is about a Million Dollars. Thats why we probably dont know it. They are among the fastest cars in the world. One owner was devastated five years ago when a pelican distracted him, causing him to crash. Is a that was his store richlt then authorities got a look at this video. It shows the man speeding down a road and crashing into the water, not a pelican in sight. Police learned about the 2 million insurance policy he had taken out on the car. They also noticed on the video the brake lights dont turn on before the crash. On tuesday the owner pled guilty to one count of wire mail fraud. It he could get up to 20 years in prison a. Long way to go. Play the powerball or something. He was driving the car . He was driving the car. A really dangerous way to get insurance money. You dont know how deep that lake is. And if you have a Million Dollars to buy the car, why do you need to crash the car. Maybe overextended. The good news is now hes making license plates. Anyway, the tv reunion fans of friends have been waiting for, or is it . Why, hello, friends, so good to see you, phoebe and monica. Good to see you, ross, but more importantly, how you doin . Thats joes catch phrase, why am i saying it .

Fans have another way to celebrate, a replica of the central perk coffee shop is coming to new york starting next month. You can get coffee and even meet everyones favorite barista, gunther. Thats great, because theres no coffee shops in new york now. We need more coffee shops. That is whats trending today. Next, televisions hottest new trend, but you wont see back at 8 19. Youve heard the saying less is more. That saying seems to ring true for reality tv these days. Todays jenna wolfe is here with a revealing report. Lets get naked tamron. No. A terrible way to start that. Im sorry. It may not be for everyone, but like it or not, there is no denying that nude is the new black for many of todays reality show stars. If you were to combine all the housewives of orange county, new jersey, atlanta, new york, Beverly Hills and miami together into one big feuding pile of hair and makeup, it still wouldnt be enough to shock todays unshockable reality tv fans. Even a little booboo doesnt cut it anymore. So what are tv execs left to do when reality isnt enough . Oh, my god. Get naked. I really like how open it is. For most people being naked in public would be an absolute nightmare. But for more and more reality show contestants, its really just another day at the office. Wait, you didnt think no. Of course not. Two strangers. One man and one woman discovery survivalist show naked and afraid leading the trend. Im not scared. Im absolutely terrified. Holy, crap, jackie. Reporter for real estate enthusiasts buying naked a real estate show where buyers are in the buff. Oh, wow, look at that. Reporter the Scifi Network opened up naked vegas. And vh1s dating naked. For a Television Executive its a nobrainer. These shows are cheap, quick to produce, easy. Guess what . You dont have to worry about wardrobes. Reporter the numbers suggest the concept is working with more than 4 million viewers, naked and afraid was discoverys most watched series ever. Its a social experiment. Before potential mates bare their souls, they bare everything else. This is an anthropological study. A social experiment, la, la, la. No, this is about ratings, people, pure and simple. Reporter as expected, not everyone is on board. Leave something to the imagination. Reporter one con ses tant showed the shows creators in a 10 million lawsuit when she was shown completely nude without the promised blur, a serious risk when youre baring it all for tv. For other contestants, the experience was much more positive. So empowering. Changed me in a really great way. Reporter say what you will about naked dating shows, for the most part this one seems to be working. Six of the original couples paired off, one couple choosing to say i do in a very, very naked wedding ceremony. Going to be the first wedding ive been to where the braids maids arent complaining about their decades. Reporter you might trade these back to the godfather of naked reality. Why arent i getting loyalties. Reporter survivor season one winner richard hatch. Hes not unhappy about that. We as a society, as humans are learning more about ourselves and learning that its a body. The facade is slipping away too slowly. But it is slipping a little bit. Reporter in terms of naked reality tv, today may be dating shows. Tomorrow naked at the ball. Naked ballet guys. I would be appalled if i had to see the today show with all the anchors naked. Whoa didnt see that coming . Do you know how hard it was to get all these guys naked for that one shot . It was like 2 1 2 weeks of scheduling. Do you watch the shows . I watch naked and afraid, obsessed with it. I am obsessed with survivalist shows. A lot of these guys said they were more comfortable if youre both starting on the same slate, youre both tately naked, get rid of the awkwardness. Ten times out of ten i would take the awkwardness. And bug bites. We posted on our facebook page, if people thought it was appropriate, if they thought it was inappropriate. 90 said inappropriate. But theres a lot of people watching. I think its more of a guilty pleasure. Who are the 4 . Youre one of them. I knew their bodition, not their names. Martha stewarts trip forgetting organized now that a new school year has arrived.

Reporter and in wallace, idaho. The entire town showed up, all 900 of them. Reporter from florida to alaska, 49 states in all so far. Where did the idea come from . How did you think, hey, let me do this . I love our military. Im always a big supporter of people who embody the meaning of the National Anthem. I thought it was a good fit. Reporter thats why stang is on a mission to take the anthem national, to thank the people who protect the star spangled banner and the freedom it represents. Instead of giving autographs after her performances, she asks her audience to do the signing. Over the last two years stang has collected hundreds of thank you notes from members of the military. They dont know us personally, but theyll do it because they love this country, they love the people theyre fighting with and what theyre fighting for and their families. I just think thats so amazing. Reporter tonight shell sing the National Anthem in tennessee, her 50th and final state. But theres still one more stop on her journey, fort mchenry in baltimore on september 14th. Thats where 200 years ago Francis Scott key wrote the lyrics we all still know by heart. That our flag was still there its the only song for 90 seconds, no matter who you voted for, no matter what team you want to win, no matter whats going on, were all as one.

Getting your family back into the daily grind can be chaotic. Martha is here with great organizing ideas from the pages of Martha Stewart living. Martha, welcome back, good morning. Hi. Theres lots to do before school starts. We talked yesterday about how it can be a shock to the system. You think organization is the key. Well, i think it helps a lot. And we start off with these little caddies. These cubbies are great and inside are caddies for each child. This is your command center. You think every parent should set one of these up in their home. It doesnt have to be as big and elaborate as the one we have here. Someplace where you can put things on the wall, have little cubbies like this. So the children when they come home from school can unpack their backpacks. They know exactly where things go. You can wash out the backpacks from the crumbs and spilled yogurt and everything. Their homework should be put here so you and they know these folders are as much for you as they are for the kids. Right. This is just a pot cupboard rack. Make sure you have staplers and tape and all colors of pens and at the end of the week, if the child has brought home some amazing artwork, you can save it in folders like this. Children love to see their work all preserved like that. At the heart of your command center, martha, is your new goto tool. You love the label maker. Oh, my god. Is the glue gun on the outs now . No, theyre still useful for crafts. You can go crazy with your label makers. Label everything, right . I made a couple for you, matt, do not forget. Put these all over you. Good, because i forget a lot. Label makers are essential because you can do theyre removable but permanent removable. Talk to me about the boards back here. These are just pin boards made out of cork. You can buy these inexpensively at the store. These are painted. We painted them so they look nice. These are magnetic boards. You use the dry erase here and you can also affix things with the magnets. Youve got the calendar up there. Menus. This is for the kids, jack and lucy have their own boards. This is for me. I can keep my menus, remind myself to do all these things, send present to brad and angelina. Good. Youll have to do that. These are really inexpensive and you can spruce them up. Somehow me how you do that. So, these are these i love pin boards like this. Just use a primer paint, which is also a final coat and just paint you can do the frame if you want or just do the whole cork board itself. It looks great. You can color coordinate this with your home, too, if you have white walls and white is good. For childrens rooms, you can paint it a different color. They work very, very nicely. But you can also do the framing. And now, you mentioned art projects. My kids bring home artwork almost every day. The question is what do you do with it . This is a very nice little setup. Just a string like this with a loop on the end on a pinup wall. Do you have pinup walls in your house . No, we dont. The kids turn them in to pinup walls, but theyre not meant to be. You can put even in the woodwork, a few little pins like that and a string and very nice, you can use this. Then they know that youre paying attention to what theyre doing and youre also displaying their handiwork. But its also good because theres a certain amount of space, and when you fill that up, its probably time to take that and store it in folders and get ready for the next wave. Is that this way or that way . Oh, come on, that is a tree. I have to learn this all again now that i have grandchildren. All of this should be part of your command center. As we mentioned, come on back over here, we tend to do things on our show in a larger way to show the full scale of your ideas. If youre home and youve got a closet or place by a back hall, you can do this. Budgetwise, you dont have spend a ton of money. Inexpensive. Whats your goto most important organizational tool . Do you have one . Not really. We like the label maker at home. Were not crafty at home. Thats why i have you as a friend. Okay. Well, i want to make sure that your kids have everything that they need, okay . Youll let me go through here and do home shopping. Maybe well send you a package. A care package. I love it. Martha will be back with dyi fashion ideas as your kids head back to school. Up next, a Creative Program teaching kids to work with their hands and keep their heads above water. But first, on a thursday morning, this is today on nbc. I gotta have that bag. Italian leather . For an amazing deal, and i love that designer. [ shopper ] you paid how much for that . [ female announcer ] two stores. Two amazing ways to score. T. J. Maxx and marshalls. [ barks ] whoo mmm oh, yeah [ whistling ] [ male announcer ] discover your new orleans. Start exploring at followyournola. Com. [ woman ] and i love new orleans back now at 8 45 with an after School Program that teaches kids how to build boats by hand. Its passing on valuable life lessons in the process. National correspondent craig melvin is here with more. Craig, good morning. Good morning, guys. The program is called rocking the boat. And its featured in the latest issue of popular mechanics. Helping to transform a community and change lives. For many of the students who show up at this dusty warehouseturnedworkshop, this is the way out. Sawing, chiseling, sanding, painting and bringing wood to life. I like to write up the blog. I didnt know the place was here at first. I been here my whole life. Reporter here is the south bronx where steven and 200 or so other teenagers spent hours after School Learning how to build boats. I told my grandpa how i wanted to do this program. He was like, good, because you break things all the time, so you should learn how to build something. Reporter the program is vision of executive director adam green, 20 years ago on a break from college, a teacher buddy asked if he would help students build a dinghy, even though he had never done anything like it. To see the impacts in kids eyes and the learning that they went through actually putting into practice some of the things they had been taught in school, but never knew the purpose of, was thrilling. Reporter soon after, rocking the boat was born. The idea, to use woodworking, math, even engineering to bring sometimes stodgy School Lessons to life in a place where life is hard. No one from the bronx. Reporter and not just the bronx, hunts point, barely three miles away from manhattan, but it could not be farther away. The Child Poverty rate here is the highest in america. A third of the families somehow manage to live on less than 15,000 a year. And its as poor as it is dangerous. 67th out of 69 new york neighborhoods in crime. My building is horrible, a bunch of drug addicts, drug dealers and stuff. We realize theres no way we can really help these kids overcome the challenges they have in their communities, in their lives and families, if we dont have social work support. Reporter so brought in social workers, added job skills training and over the years, has watched his idea build so much more than boats. My personality went from shy kid, not wanting to talk to anybody, to a kid that wants to be all over the place, wants to get to know everybody. You come to a place where you can express the worries so you can get through them together and youre not alone. Reporter since the program started, students have built about 50 boats here, a place that doesnt just anchor their lives but helps them set sail for a new course. Im going to Queens College in two days. Rocking the boat definitely made that dream a bigger reality. Thats what this whole program is about, teamwork. It shows you potential. Yeah, its awesome. Rocking the boat keeps all the boats that the students build and use those boats in their programs. In hunts point, 35 , thats the on time graduation rate. In this particular program, 100 . All the kids who participate graduate from high school in time. I would imagine a lot of them graduate and come back to help in the program. They do. They do. Thats fantastic. Thank you, craig. Thank you so much. Were back in a moment. This is today on nbc. Were back now at 8 51 with the power of positive thinking. It comes from florida mom and blogger Glennon Doyle melton who posted a random photo of her kitchen, an experience she says changed her life. I posted a picture of me in my kitchen. Immediately after i posted it, i started getting suggestions from people about how i could update my kitchen to make it better, and i started feeling kind of deflated and down about it, like maybe it was shabby and maybe my kitchen wasnt good enough. I took a breath and remembered that i really dont need different things, i need different eyes to see the things i already have. I call this perspectables. When you get rid of the discontent by putting on a fresh perspective. So i promised myself i would come into my kitchen the next morning with my perspectables on see my kitchen with gratitude. This is a corner that people suggested should be more organized. Every time i look at this corner i feel gratitude. They go to an amazing school. This is my refrigerator. It is full of healthy food that i get to feed my children. I know there are mothers everywhere to be able to fill their refrigerators with healthy food. This is a water faucet and when you turn it on, clean Drinking Water comes out. One in nine people in the world have clean Drinking Water, but my family has it every single time we turn on this faucet. This one makes me emotional. This is my medicine cabinet. Mine is filled with vitamins because everyone in my family is healthy. Hallelujah and amen. Im tired of the competition with kitchens, bathrooms, cars, clothes and even our precious children.

Natalie, can you please come back. Shes the brad of your angelina. He said you should buy better cheddar with his Thurston Howell iii voice. Thats right, and bring dijon mustard. A little thing i learned on the vmas, deejay mustard, the hot deejay out there, his first name is dijon. He has a hot album out and he was at the vmas. Interesting. Yesterday this woman tweeted me, are you drunk, get it together . I wrote back to her, not yet, got it together. Lets see you do that to him. Let me say one last thing. When youre making nachos, layer the stuff. I like it all up front when they bring it out to you. When we have nachos, two separate platters. She wants everything on top. I like it spread every time you get down a little further, theres more cheese and more cheese. Like opening a new present every time. We are so hungry. When we suggest we start the show off like ordering a dish, a different thing every day. I have a better idea, i think. Do you know what that sound is . Thats the sound of our friend christine slamming her head on the door in the control room. Christine will like this. We should have a con tft. Viewers send in your best app recipes. I, along with our staff will make them and bring them up every day. Im willing to get up a littleierier to see if i can make your meal and bring it out.

So he talked to me about xarelto®. [ male announcer ] xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. [ brian ] for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. You made great time. I found another way. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

One is you want to get them thinking about locking up their stuff and, two, you want to get them using lockers because their backpacks ramsey, my son, was so intimidated by using a locker that his backpack weighed like a thousand pads.

Now to a Great Program called angels for kids. We first told you about this back in december when founder Shannon Mccourt threw a party for underprivileged kids complete with presents and a visit from the big man himself. With a new School Getting under way, shannon and angels for kids are at it again with a backtoschool makeover for kids that can use a boost. With the first day of school just around the corner, its time for a fresh start. Thats exactly what thats deserving kids will get, at the annual angels for kids back to school bash. Some of the kids here tonight didnt even know where theyre going to live on friday. Other kinds who were here dont have any parents and theyre just going through so much. Shannon mccourt wants them all to have a fair chance when they walk through the doors on their first day of school. The first day of school sets the tone for the rest of the school year. The purpose of this day is to give these kids the confidence they need. Today the kids are getting pampered with fresh haircuts, new School Supplies and that perfect backtoschool outfit. I feel like i think its important that you dont feel left out, that you can feel form normal and have a chance to feel like you belong with others. They might not know what youve been through. This event means a great deal to me. Im a single mom. Its hard raising two kids on my own. Haircuts alone cost a lot of money. BacktoSchool Supplies, clothes what was your favorite part about today. Getting my skirt. My favorite part of today was getting my hair cut. The inspiration stems from shannons own child hoods. One of her classmates said growing up, shannon was the only kid at school that doesnt bully her. When youre picked on, it does stay with you. It gives selfesteem issues. Here we are 15 years later and shes thinking about how she was essentially bullied in high school and kids werent as nice to her. At that moment i just thought, i have got to do something to help kids because i dont want them to carry that baggage with them for the rest of their lives. 13yearold chase is here with her mom and three siblings. Theyve recently had to leave their home and are all starting new schools this year. Chase hopes this new school will be better than the last. My last school i was badly bullied. It was harder than you would think. So i actually started home school. With new haircuts and clothes, theyre now ready to walk the halls with their heads held high. I couldnt stop smiling at them. They were so psyched and really, really excited about everything. They like what they see in the mirror and i love that. My hope is that i wont be judged like i was in the last school and that ill actually meet nice people. Thats all i can hope for. I feel beautiful.

When you watch this thing, it looks like theres so much improv that you guys are just throwing things out there and spitballing. Thats what it feels like. Is that whats really happening on the show . A fair amount. I would say what you see on screen is 10 improvised because they do give us some freedom to be loose with the script. Especially sort of in later takes. We have incredible writers that put amazing scripts together, and so i want to give full credit to those guys, but they do give us the opportunity to make it sound conversational.

He is going to help some of our viewers too by answering your questions. Welcome. Why, thank you very much, guys. So these guys are available, right . These guys are available. New york city animal care and control right now. They have a lot of cats for adoption. You guys should be out there adopting no matter where you are. When you are assessing a cat, lets say you go into one of these homes, the first thing, do you assess the cat or the cats owners . Had. Owners. 5050. For sure. The cat behavior doesnt happen in a vacuum. Energy in the home dictates whats going on with the cats head. You know . It seems to me they seem to be lone rarnks. A lot of cats seem to like to do their own thing and not be crowded. Cats are incredibly loving, but they mastered the art of detached love. You know what i mean . They dont have any attachment to the outcome of the love. I like that one. Theyre always how do you know if your cat loves you . Is there something that they do . You know what, cats say i love you, and i own you at the same time. You know what im saying . If they have confidence in their ownership of the territory, and the people, then thats how they show love. They show love in predictable ways. Nose to nose contact. They love to cuddle. Some love to cuddle. What do they do . I call the cat i love you. The cat i love you is this thing where cats will blink at you to show you im vulnerable to you, im comfortable. And you can blink right back at them, and youll do a little blinking. Its like our little way in with them. Its a slow blink. So you say you do something called play therapy. Is that what were doing right now . We are doing play therapy right now. Im having fun. I dont know about the cats. These guys are about, i would say, three 3 months old, maybe 4 months old. This is a primetime for them to learn how to hunt. Theyre natural born hunters. Theyre thinking. Playing is prey therapy. We teach them to be confident hunters, and they will be confident big cats. Some people have a cat in their home, and they want another cat, so they dont feel alone. They introduce a second cat, and all hell breaks loose. Ates bad thing . It can be bad. Cats need other cats in their lives. Like these guys right now, theyre learning from each other. Whats play . At what point do i say, hey, back off, buddy . Thats the kind of thing that happens at this age. Hoda and i do that. Back up, buddy . If you have two cats, should you have two litter boxes . Everyone has their own territory, their own space . Do you mix it up . Theyre, ill poop here and pee here. The formula is for every cat you have, you have one extra litter box. Two cats, three boxes. Three cats, four boxes. Oh, so one extra beyond. Yeah, yeah. Its just are they easier to train than dogs . No. No. Theyre harder . The bottom line is they could care less about pleasing you. Thats the difference with cats and dogs. They dont care about pleasing you. Theres got to be something in it for them in order for it to work. One viewer, we have a second, but her cat pees on the bed. Issue . Issue for her. Huge problem. I mean, if shes in the bed, shes got a much bigger problem. What should you do . You know, to figure out why your cat is peeing in the bed, first, you go to the vet and make sure theyre not sick, number one. Second thing is cats who have separation anxiety tend to pee on the bed a lot. Thats one of the things if you are gone a lot, get another cat. Youre interesting. All of you, you are all fascinating. I like it. Were going to send the Inspiring Stories you sent us about acts of kindness. We asked you to send us videos describing a time when you were impact bid someones unexpected acts of kindness. The touching stories that we received. Take a look. When i was in college, i used to walk about 15 to 20 minutes a day to go to my babysitting job. One day it was pouring rain, torrential downpour. As soon as i started walking. I see this one car slow down and make a uturn, and it turned out to be one of my professors, and she asked if i needed a ride, and i said that would be fantastic. After having a pretty lousy day, i came home to find this card in the mail from my mom. I dont know if it was her mothers intuition or her just being really nice. She always knows what to say to make me feel better. I recently had major surgery. Im in a recovery. In the past few weeks i have received sufficiently loving, beautiful cards, letters, and gifts. Some from those who i have never even met or spoken to. I remember back in november i was parked at a meter in the city and had a meeting that ran a little bit too long, and on my way back to the car i saw the officer putting tickets in everybodys windshield pept mine, and i got to my car and found a little note that was tucked in the door that said i saw your meter was about to expire, and i put in a few quarters. Just please pay it forward. Its the little gesture that is make all the difference. Do something good for someone today.
