Why he says he could no longer remain silent. And omg. The giants Odell Beckham jr. Makes a jawdropping onehanded catch. How in the world. My goodness. The play that has many asking is this the greatest catch ever . Today monday, november 24th, 2014. Announcer from nbc news this is today, with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a monday morning. Its 7 00 on the west coast. And omg, other initials come to mind. Odell beckham jr. What a catch. I have not seen action like that since al at the Christmas Party last year. It was something. In the end zone. And from a rookie. A great rookie. A lot of people talking about that. More on that. Let us start with breaking news out of washington. Chuck hagel stepping down as secretary of defense. From the white house. The decision coming as the u. S. Fates threats around the world including the campaign against isis. Jim miklaszewski is at the pentagon. How did this go down . Reporter well, according to one Senior Defense official we talked about moments ago, they describe it as a mutual agreement reached over weeks between hagel and the president , after which hagel decided a tough decision, to submit his resignation. Others say here at the pentagon and at the white house that essentially hagel was forced to resign, that he had a hard time articulating u. S. Policy, and many times didnt appear to have a grasp of what the u. S. Military policy was in many cases. And with the impending and ongoing war with isis and syria and iraq, the withdrawal of troops and new fighting for u. S. Troops in afghanistan, budget battles with capitol hill, sequestration which would mean cuts to spending here at the pentagon, one Senior Defense official told us that it was felt by the white house and officials here at the pentagon that hagel was simply not up to the job. He will remain on the job, he says, were told by his officials, until the president finds a new secretary of defense is confirmed by the senate. Jim miklaszewski at the pentagon, thank you very much. On that point lets bring in Chris Jansing. Good morning to you. The question is who would replace hagel . Reporter yes, and i think there is a short list already. Three names, topped by rhode island senator jack lee. He was with the 82nd airborne. Two other names, both former defense officials, Michelle Flournoy and ashton b. Carter. Somebody who is not high profile. I can tell you that this Administration People close to the president were stung by the book by former defense secretary robert gates which is critical of the president , and picking up on what mick just said there was concern here that some of the comments made by chuck hagel were notonthesamepage with the president , particularly the threat posed by isis. And so they are going to be looking for someone potentially who is a little less high profile, somebody who will work with this team, i think in a better way than they feel that they have seen over the last months as they head into the final two years of this administration. Im told a few minutes ago by a senior official, savannah, that whoever that person is they will not be named today. Chris, thank you very much. On that breaking news. The weather now, the temperature is heating up in the east. We could hit 70 in manhattan today. But thats welcome news for some people, it is creating a dangerous situation in the Great Lakes Region in the wake of last weeks massive snowstorm. Nbcs Kristen Dahlgren is outside buffalo. Kristin, good morning to you. Reporter hey there, matt, and just take a look at this rushing water. The fact that its moving is actually good news. They have been so concerned about ice dams causing the water to back up. New yorks governor has tweeted to people in flood prone areas have your bags packed because really t question of the day is where this seven feet of snow goes when it melts. Along buffalos creeks, growing concern. That the snow that once plagued them with unpassable streets and collapsed roofs could soon start melting into neighborhoods filling basements or worse. The fire chief is barely slept since the snow started tuesday. He knows today could bring more calls for help. The creek runs along the back of these houses here and will just come overflow and start coming in through your yards and everything. Reporter the water is already damming up with ice and snow. The state stockpiled pumps and boats, the National Guard is ready with food and water. While crews work tirelessly to try to keep drains and neighborhoods clear. A nearly constant stream of trucks adding to a mountain of snow piled up away from the danger zone. Everybodys going at the fastest that they can possibly go. Reporter hoping that its fast enough. The trucks are still out in force, that effort not slowing at all. A little bit of good news, we didnt see some of the rain that could have given us that worse Case Scenario but there may be more rain this afternoon, another big concern the winds have been picking up expected to gust 50 to 60 miles an hour. That could push water against the lakeshore, cause flooding there. Also could cause more power lines down. Absolutely. Weve got a lot going on. As we go to radar we can show you that we are looking at in fact, some winds that are going to be pushing in, were watching all of this warm air come into the region as it does. And as the heavier line of showers and thunderstorms that are pushing across the great lakes probably going to reach buffalo later this afternoon so well be watching that very closely. We also have some Severe Weather now starting to fire up into the southeast from tallahassee, albany into savannah, georgia, a risk of strong storms, dangerous lightning, heavy downpour, damaging gusty winds, liz city to jacksonville. Then the big system we are watching by Tuesday Morning, low pressure develops along the florida coast, makes its way up the coast, heavy rain in the southeast. And then the return flow of air brings colder air in here so an icy mix along the i95 corridor into thursday morning and out, but before it leaves, look at the snowfall totals especially inland. Maybe in new york 1 to 3 inches, new york city, but as you get inland or interior pennsylvania, new york, into new england, 3 to 6 up to a foot of snow moving into that area. And then behind it very windy conditions, so travel on probably the busiest day of the year could be impacted from west coast to east coast because of the storm system. Not good. Al, thank you. Well check in with you in a minute. In ferguson, missouri, with the grand jury considering whether or not to indict the Police Officer who shot and killed Michael Brown and the grand jury will be back at it this morning. Today craig melvin is following this story. Good morning to you. Reporter savannah, good morning. The 12member grand jury set to start behind me, the Justice Center any moment. What we do not know is whether they will vote today. They could very well continue to pour over evidence. Meanwhile, in the area tensions mount. So do prayers for peace. Protesters took to the streets once again. Calls for understanding. Prayer and protest are both the expression of the unheard. Reporter at well Spring Church prayers for a grand jury decision. Kind of like waiting for a hurricane. We dont know whether it will be a bad hurricane or if it will just kind of die out in the ocean. Jesus may be praying. Its waiting for a different decision. Its a bit disheartening to know the preparation is boarding up and calling the National Guard versus walking down the drive and engaging residents facetoface. Reporter captain ron johnson insists officers have been doing that. Sometimes violent clashes between police and protesters in the wake of Michael Browns death. Since the shooting the Law Enforcement has had conversations, has had meetings, they have been talking and theres been understanding. Reporter but few here seem to understand why its taking so long. There are cases where a grand jury goes over several days. To have it stretch for as long as this jury has been is really unusual. Reporter also this morning originally we were told that if officer wilson was not going to be indicted that the prosecutor here in st. Louis was going to go to a judge and ask that all of the evidence be made public. Yesterday we heard from a Court Official who said that may not happen. Thats the latest from here on the ground. Back to you guys. Thank you so much. Student leaders at the university of virginia are holding a News Conference this morning to address the shocking allegations of Sexual Assault on campus. They were exposed in a Rolling Stone article and have led the university to suspend all activities involving fraternities and sororities. Nbcs Peter Alexander is in charlottesville.

Just last week, the university at Charlottesville Police to investigate, with uvas president announcing the suspension of all fraternities and related social activities for the rest of this year.

Reporter the house that was the target of vandals after the publication is promising to cooperate with any investigation, saying the acts depicted in the article are beyond unacceptable, they are vile and intolerable. Uva is under scrutiny by the federal government which announced title 9 investigation and 54 other schools for handling of Sexual Assault complaints, as students head home for thanksgiving many are demanding the schools culture change. Clearly something is not working, something is not right. People are getting hurt over and over again. That has to stop. Reporter nationwide the statistics are alarming, one in five women will be sexually assaulted in college and some students here say the administration isnt going far enough, suspension for the remainder of the year is insufficie insufficient.

He now comes forward to say he routinely brought young women to bill cosbys room and it was his job to guard the door. I felt like a pump. Every time he had somebody, i had to watch, go, stay there. I felt dirty. Reporter scottie doesnt know what happened behind closed doors. He said he was asked to send money to women over the years, sometimes thousands of dollars a month.

Its been played by my best friend, jimmy nail. Extremely well. Big shoes to fit. He has passed me the baton for five weeks and said take it on. Was this always the plan when you were coming up with the idea for this show, that you would take on one of the shows or is this more about shaking it up . Frankly, no. I didnt think i would do this.

Up next on trending, do they bother you . Why one of the worlds most beautiful cities trying to ban those rolling suitcases. Well show you what this is an nbc news special report. Here is Savannah Guthrie. Good morning, president obama is about to speak from the state dining room at the white house where he will announce officially the resignation of defense secretary chuck hagel. Hagel was brought in to oversee the troop drawdown in afghanistan and military budget cuts. Less than two years in the job and in the wake of new threats like isis, Administration Officials have told nbc news that hagel is, quote, no longer up to the job. Lets go to nbcs Chris Jansing at the white house. Good morning to you. What can you tell us about this . Reporter i know this conversation has been going on for the last several weeks between chuck hagel and the president. It started last month. He offered his resignation. Obviously it was accepted this morning. He becomes the First Casualty after that disastrous election for the democrats in the senate, the senate now being taken over by republicans. There were a lot of questions raise friday the very beginning. He had what was widely considered to be a bad confirmation process, never seemed to recovered and make his way into the president s inner circle, in spite of the fact that they had been friendly during the time they both served on the Foreign Relations committee when they were both in the senate, hagel being the only republican on the foreign policy, on the National Security team here at the white house. So the decision was made that they needed new leadership at the pentagon. Ill interrupt here. Weve got the president. About a year ago, secretary of defense chuck hagel was visiting our troops in the republic of korea, thanking them for their service and answering their questions. They asked about the usual topics, about our National Security, future of our military, and then one soldier, a sergeant from ohio asked him what was the most pert meant question of the day which was what is your Favorite College Football Team to which he replied, born and raised in nebraska, i dont have a choice, i have a strong corn huskers fan. There was a time when an enlisted soldier might have been reluctant to ask that type of question to the secretary of defense. Chuck hagel has been no ordinary secretary of defense. The first enlisted combat veteran to serve in that position. He understands our men and women like few others because he stood where they stood. Hes been in the dirt and hes been in the mud. Thats established a special bond. He sees himself in them, and they see themselves in him, and their safety, their lives have always been at the center of chucks circles. When i asked chuck to serve as secretary of defense, we were entering a significant period of transition. The drawdown in afghanistan, the need to prepare our forces for future missions and tough fiscal choices to keep our military strong and ready. Over nearly two years, chuck has been an exemplary defense secretary, providing a steady hand as we modernize our strategy and budget to meet longterm threats while stim responding to immediate challenges like isil and ebola. Thanks to chuck, our military is on firmer footing, engaged in these missions and looking ahead to the future. Last month chuck came to me to discuss the final quarter of my presidency and determine that having guided the department through this transition, it was an appropriate time for him to complete his service. Let me just say that chuck is and has been a great friend of mine. Ive known him, admired him and trusted him for nearly a decade since i was a greenbehindtheears freshman senator and we were both on the senate Foreign Relations committee. If theres one thing i know about chuck, its that he does not make this or any decision lightly. This decision does not come easily to him. I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to have him by my side for two years and im thankful that chuck has agreed to stay on until i nominate his successor and that successor is confirmed by the senate which means hell continue to guide our troops at this challenging time. Ill have more time to pay tribute to his life of service in a few minutes. For this, let me say this chuck hagel has devoted himself to our National Security and our men and women in uniform across more than six decades. He volunteered in vietnam and still carries the scars and shrapnel from the battles he fought. At the va, he fought to give our fellow veterans the benefits they have earned. As head of the uso, he made sure america always honors our troops. As a senator, he helped lead the fight for the post 9 11 gi bill helping our veterans and families realize their dreams of a college education. As secretary, chuck has helped transition our military and bolster americas leadership around the world. During his tenure, Afghan Forces took the lead for security in afghanistan. Our forces have drawn down, our combat mission there ends next month and well partner with afghans to preserve the gains we have made. The Nato Alliance is as long as it has ever been, and we are reassured our allies with our increased presence in central and eastern europe. We modernized our alliances in the asia pacific, updated our defense posture and recently improved communications between the u. S. And chinese militaries. Chuck has been critical through all these accomplishments. Meanwhile chuck has ensured that our military is ready for new missions. Today our men and women in uniform are taking the fight against isil and iraq and syria, and chuck helped build the International Coalition to ensure that the world is meeting this threat together. Today our forces are helping support the civilian effort against ebola in west africa. A reminder, as chuck likes to say, that americas military is the greatest force for good in the world. Finally, in a very difficult budgetary environment, chuck has never lost sight of key priorities. The readiness of our force and the quality of the life of our troops and their families. Hes launched new reforms to ensure that even as our military is leaner, it remains the strongest in the world and so our troops can continue to get the pay, the housing, the health care, the child care that they and their families need. Reforms that we need congress to now support. At the same time, after the tragedies that weve seen, chuck has helped lead the effort to improve security at our military installations and to stamp out the scourge of Sexual Assault from tn racks. Chuck, i also want to thank you on a personal level. We come from different parties, but in accepting this position, you sent a powerful message, especially to folks in this city that when it comes to our National Security and caring for our troops and families, we are all americans first. When i nominated you for this position, you said youd always give me your honest advice and informed counsel. You have. When its mattered most, behind closed doors in the oval office, youve always given it to me straight. For that i will always be grateful. I recall when i was a nominee in 2008 and i traveled to afghanistan and iraq, chuck hagel accompanied me on that trip along with jack reid. Its pretty rare at a time when sometimes this town is so politiciz politicized, to have a friend who was willing to accompany a nominee from another party because he understood that whoever ended up being president , what was most important was that we were unified when we confronted the challenges that we see overseas. Thats the kind of class and integrity that chuck hagel has always represented. Chuck, you said a life is only as good as the family you have and the friends you surround yourself with. In that you are blessed. I want to thank lilly beth, your son and daughter for the sacrifices theyve made as well. I know as reluctant as we are to seeing you go, they are equally excited to get their husband and father back. Im sure the cornhuskers are also happy that a fan will be there to cheer them on more often. Today the United States of america can probably claim the Strongest Military the world has ever known. Thats the result of the investments made over many decades, the blood and treasure and sacrifices of generations. Its the result of the character and wisdom of those who lead them as well, including a young Army Sergeant in vietnam who rose to serve as our nations 24th secretary of defense. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you, chuck. [ applause ] thank you, thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. And we will leave that press conference, the president making the announcement that chuck hagel, defense secretary, will be stepping down as soon as a successor is named and confirmed. On that topic lets turn to our White House Correspondent Chris Jansing. Chris, what are you hearing about potential replacements . Reporter a short list. Michelle flournoy, the highest woman ever to hold such a position in that male dominated organization. She is considered to be somebody who has a lot of respect both on the pentagon and the hill, very important when you talk about the confirmation process. Also jack reid, an officer in the 82nd airborne in the army and ash carter, a former Deputy Defense secretary, a theoretical physicist. His time goes back many generations. We shouldnt expect the new person would be named today. In fact, it would be very difficult for them to get the ball rolling in such a way that they could actually have confirmation hearings before the end of the year and the republicans take over the senate so that pressure is not on. Of course, with the thanksgiving holiday, this is a short week. Well be watching. Chris jansing, senior White House Correspondent. Well have more on nbcnews.

Except hes a leg breaker loan shark and he has for some reason takes a liking to this guy and decides to get him into a different place in life. Yeah, hes steaking him. I think hes gambling on this guy, as well. Hes a gambler, too. This is a remake of a movie i think was made in the 1970s. Jimmy connell was in that. Mr. Connell. Mr. Con. Mr. Goodman, you apparently wrote this, spent the last two decades as master of a certain type of role. The potentially menacing regular guy.

And the gambler opens december 19th. Look who i am with. He will put all of our knowledge of mens health to the test. Really hard questions. Tough questions. Were going to try to stump the guys.

This is an nbc news special report. Heres matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie. Morning, everyone. We come on with some surprising news out of the pentagon this morning. A shakeup at the top in the midst of all the global crises we face. Nbc news has learned that defense secretary chuck hagel is stepping down under pressure from the white house. Hagel was brought in just last year to manage the troop withdrawal in afghanistan. Nbc micktis at the pentagon. Another that the president asked him to resign and, yet, were hearing that chuck hagel is not being fired. What is behind all this . Senior defense officials tell nbc news, matt, that secretary of defense chuck hagel is, in fact, being forced to resign. During his tenure he, it was felt that he just didnt grasp many of the issues. Had a hard time articulating many of the complicated issues and now with the rise of the war against isis in iraq and syria, the troops in afghanistan and continued fighting there were now told and the budget and sequesteration and all that. One Senior Defense official told us it was felt by officials at the white house and here at the pentagon that chuck hagel just was not up to the job, matt. All right, jim miklaszewski, thank you. Lets go to Chris Jansing at the white house this morning. Chris, good morning. It seems like a surprise at least from our vantage point. Was there rumblings that there could be a shakeup at the pentagon . It is a surprise. I think a lot of expectation that given the results of the election and the loss of the senate that there would be changes. We have gotten every indication that chuck hagel at least wanted to stay but also been very clear that this administration has come under some heavy criticism for what has been viewed as a slow response to National Security issues. Mick mentioned one of them. Isis, ebola being another one and a feeling that he was not up for the job. He wasnt the right person for it. He and senator obama were both friendly when on the Foreign Relations committee. It is clear he never got into the inner circle here and didnt have a lot of support. And, so, later today were told its going to happen, 11 10 eastern time in the dining room here at the white house officially this announcement will be made. Savannah . Chris, stand by there. Lets go back to the pentagon and jim miklaszewski. Are you hearing any rumors or any chitchat who might be a possible replacement for chuck hagel . One of the top runners is michelle, who was under secretary of defense and thought to be a replacement for 8 33. Good morning. Meteorologist christina loren. Same clear sky over emeryville. Its hard to find a cloud in the sky at this hour. Although, later on today, we will see a few high passing clouds. Temperatures are going to be comfortable. Upper 60s to low 60s all across the board.

She has a very good chance, she is now in remission and will probably stay in remission. This speeds recovery, which helps to keep the cancer away. Marlo, you are a force. Congratulations to you. And now lets turn to carson with the story. You appeared just like a dream to me i love singing. Its my passion. Its what i can see myself doing probably forever.

San jose Police Investigating a Security Breach at san jose airport. Police say 39yearold miguel made it on to the tarmac near Atlantic Aviation yesterday morning. Employees saw him, tried to detain him and called police. Officers later arrested him at terminal b. This is the third time Something Like this has happened at the airport this year. So far, neither the giants nor the Boston Red Sox are confirming the report. Some giants fans are no doubt dreading. Pablo sandoval apparently signed a fiveyear deal with boston. Some are calling it a done deal valued at nearly 100 million. His agent says it hasnt happened yet. Another local news update in half an hour. c3c3ccc from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today. Its monday morning, november 24th, 2014. This is thanksgiving week, the crowds are getting ready for the parade. Oh, yeah, the parade. Its going to be here. You know, earlier this morning, we had kind of a religious experience on the show. What happened . One of our one of our members one of us on this table outbound members was born again hallelujah a balloonkel came out of nowhere and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Take a look at what im talking about. Here comes chloe. Thats right. And suddenly, matt lauer, dr. Lawyer, if you will, goes around. And watch what happens. Watch what happens live. Here we go. Live tv. Oh its a miracle you know, tamron, get on back in there. Come on, get back in. Yes. Seriously poor girl. The number of tweets ive received about this, staggering. I have a lot of questions, but you go first. Heres what happened. Friday they come to me and they said, can you make sure you wear pants on the today show, because we want you to ride in a balloon. Oh, i need pants . I never heard of it, but im like cool. I wear my pants, boots on, ready to rock. Im just riding in a balloon, why do i need to rehearse . Okay, fine, we go out there. And going into something is always easier than coming out. Now i know. Thats how kids are born. Thats how theyre born. And i dont have any, so i dont know of this fully. Ive seen it on tv, pictures, but i didnt know it. So i get in this thing, and im told, ladies and gentlemen at home, and those in the congregation of reverend al, that someone will catch me. Tamron, someone is going to catch you. And i say, well willie and al because they always have my back when i got plunged into the pink water, you were there. Of they said al is there, but willie is at mortgamorning joe matt will catch me. You believe that . No one thought you would come shooting out like that. We thought you would slowly work your way how do you slowly they told me i had to go headfirst. It was like a breach birth. It was. And then they tell me, when you get out, someone is going to be there. Well, the thing is closing behind. I was in a tube like three feet long. So im pushing out. Wow. And its literally like somebody said push. Im just glad it was on the side of chloe i thought it was going to out of the legs. There were legs there. Well, thank goodness our viewers have put it in beautiful terms. One woman said i was squirteded out. Thank you, meredith con swalo. It goes on and on. One question. Yes, babe. Why . Mary ann dellner, one of our amazing producers, who i love. I mean, weve bonded. Sure. Weve bonded in a great way. Actually, now that youve been birthed. Today she looked at me and said, how do you feel . So anyway, thats what happened. I took it in i dont want to appear to be a whiner. No. It was fun. You werent you werent expecting it. I wasnt. No one was expecting you to come shooting out like that. And my teeth are all fake capped. This could have been a disaster. I would have been a snaggel tooth. All of the visuals. Now we know. All right, mom. One more. One more. But im happy that all of you said im just glad you didnt scream as you were coming out. It could have been worse. Yes, natalie, as you continue to laugh. It doesnt help when people say, are you okay, and then they laugh while doing it. But thank you to twitter. Im okay. Ive got all my parts. Nobody looked better being birthed. You were beautiful theyre going to hand that to the parade. Popping out. Celebrities shooting out of balloon kels. The next time they say matt lauer is anywhere near me, my man willie, my man, al in fairness to matt. None of us and were going to move on here. But that you come i mean, like a shot. It was amazing. If an nfl player can catch a football with three fingers, then matt lauer should be able to catch a 130pound woman spewing out of a balloon. A balloonkel. Whatever. If only if only Odell Beckham jr. Had been there. Bend over backwards. Where was Odell Beckham when i was squirting from the balloon. Squirting . Did you see the game last night . No. Giants, nbc, prime time. The whole country is watching. And unbelievable. Eli manning throws one up for grabs. Odell beckham is a rookie from lsu, catches it with three fingers. Cris collinsworth said that is the greatest catch ive seen in my life and hes been in the game a long time. A receiver, by the way. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. There were some internet memes after this. The sistine chapel, i think thats good. And it wouldnt be a meme without kim kardashian. Lets see here. Yes. Not my favorite. Not my favorite either. But that was amazing. Plus he was interfered with. The cowboys player. Sadly they lost. Youre a cowboys fan. I think the cowboys won, and i love he made that catch. A Little Something for everybody. The cowboys are having a tremendous season. And many people believe theyre going on to the super bowl. Thursday they play the eagles. And the weather, speaking of thanksgiving, is going to be crazy. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, a lot of people traveling. Theyre going to have to be watching al. Yeah. Another noreaster, right . Yeah, we are. Which we will get to in a minute. This epic snowstorm out west. Western new york. Buffalo. Near buffalo. This woman last tuesday actually got stuck in a snowbank for 13 hours. How does that well, she got plowed in a plow jammed her in, and the snow kept falling. And she was so she is buried completely. Her phone battery dies. Oh, my god. She is actually writing goodbye notes to her daughters on scraps of paper from her purse. Eventually, she rolls down the window, and is able to start starts digging. And addition digs to get out, gets to the end of the jam, and she uses a snow brush one of those red snow brushes. Pokes it out for air. Gets the attention of a passing motorist who continues to help dig her out. But its got to be a nightmare. She literally described it as being in a coffin. For 13 hours. Yeah. If her phone battery is dead, no way to get anyones attention. Writing goodbye. 13 people died in this snowstorm. So, you know, that could have this could have turned out much worse. And thankfully, she made it. But, boy, what a nightmare. Now there are concerns of flooding. Yeah. Because its going to get up to 60 degrees there. Right. And youve got rain. And all of the storm drains are blocked, because theres literally feet of snow on top. Wow. So some of the creeks and rivers may rise, and and by the way, just not to digress too much, but the National Weather service in buffalo did a spectacular job of forecasting this storm. And i i sadly, 13 people died. But a lot more peoples lives were saved and prepared for this thing because the National Weather service in buffalo did a spectacular job. You know what other scene i love, is people showing up from out of town on buses with shovels, where can i go, what can i do to help. Help you dig out know speaking of doing your part, we all did a great thing this weekend. Its called cranksgiving. Willie had a couple other events. But i was down in miami, al, you were in d. C. Along with savannah. Alexander in our nbc 4 local news team there. And tamron, you were in new york. I was here with lester holt, and erica hill. Ericas little boy sawyer joined us, and michael from the nbc station, as well. And i should mention the local team as well in miami, jawan came and joined us as well, nbc 6. Such a great, great thing. We went around and a lot of us did a couple of miles. I did 11. The scenic route of miami. Donated over 4500 pounds of food to local homeless food banks. Ive never heard of cranksgiving until they brought this to our attention. Its a fantastic idea. 60 across the country. Im definitely now on board forever. Its a great way to kind of raise peoples attention to the need for food this time of year. Especially. To help raise awareness for homeless shelters. Exactly. You had a great event this weekend. Yeah, actually, my dad and i. My dad and i went to orlando on friday. And we got to spend some time with an Incredible Group called the american speech language hearing association. They help out with, you know, hearing impaired, autistic kids, people with strokes, that kind of thing. But the picture youre seeing there, we were introduced by, can you believe it, john glenn. Wow. And his wife annie. They have been married going on 72 years. God bless. They met when they were 2 years old, they grew up together. The man fought in world war ii and korea and orbited earth, and ran for president and everything else. So just to sit backstage with him for an hour was a master class. Really cool. And another great event. Saturday i was back in new york for the michael j. Fox foundation gala, which every year is incredible. They do such a good job. As you know, my dad has parkinsons. And it was great. I got to talk to thats paul simon. Oh, wow. And michael j. Fox gets up and plays guitar with the musical guest. He can still shred it, by the way. Amazing. And ryan reynolds, his dad has had parkinsons for some time. Got to interview him before the event and well play that tomorrow. Great. A check of the weather. Talking about the weather, weve got a lot going on right now. Lets show what we have. First of all, in the northeast, were looking at a lot of wet weather, especially in buffalo. Weve got high wind watches and warnings. So big problems this. Heavier showers and thunderstorms firing up through the southeast. In fact, weve got Severe Weather watches and warnings. Weather might approach severe levels from the carolinas down into the georgia florida border. And were watching this low pressure that will develop. We think Tuesday Morning off the florida coast. Heavy rain will develop moving southeast during the day wednesday. High winds and so travel going to be a big problem. As the system moves off, colder air funnels in, so the rain changes over to snow. Look at some of these snowfall amounts. Were talking about up to a foot of snow in interior sections of new york, pennsylvania and new england. Could be a fit or more as bullseye hits interior new were looking pretty good for travel all the way through wednesday. Thanksgiving looks good, as well. Then we bring in the rain on friday. So getting home could be problematic. Temperatures for today, looking good. Upper 60s, and your inland valleys, same for the coast. Tuesday into wednesday, temperatures jump even more so. Thanksgiving day, nice dry, comfortable day, 72 in san jose and 65 degrees in San Francisco by friday, we bring on the rain. Mostly for the second half of the day, showers in the north bay after 2 00 p. M. Hope you have a fantastic monday. And thats and thats your latest weather. Al, thanks a lot.

Police right now are investigating a deadly overnight shooting in a quiet San Francisco neighborhood. This happened a little bit after midnight near henry street. That location is close to a popular park. Investigators so far have not released a description of who theyre looking for or what may have actually led up to that shooting. Authorities in cupertino are looking for two men in an Early Morning Home Invasion robbery. Sheriff deputies locked down the area, this around garden gate. The robbers managed to get away despite the perimeter there. Authorities have now left the scene in search of the suspects. And so far, neither the giants nor the Boston Red Sox are confirming a report. Some giants fans are no doubt dreading to hear. A few Media Outlets right now reporting Pablo Sandoval has signed a fiveyear deal with the Boston Red Sox. They say the value of the deal somewhere around 100 million. But weve also heard this morning that sandovals agent is denying any kind of deal is actually in place. He told knbr that his client is still open to an offer from the giants. Well have to say to be continued. Continued right after this break, well have a look at your weather and traffic. 9 28, welcome back. We have a Beautiful Day shaping up. Mild conditions, dry conditions, nice air quality courtesy of the showers that rolled through. And brought upwards, almost 7 inches of rain. I just got off the phone with marin municipal water. Of that 7 inches, about 3 1 2 made its way into the watershed. Thats such good news. 72 degrees throughout your tuesday, 73 by wednesday, beautiful conditions, rain returns on friday, rains a good thing, mike. It is. Well take all we can for the watershed over here. Were looking over here, west 580. Still recovering, this as youre approaching. Look at the map, we have a slower drive still continuing. But for the last half hour, weve seen steady improvement as the disabled vehicle right there at the dublin interchange cleared. For our overall lighter commute, south bay looking good as is the northbound route through oakland. Still have metering lights on the bay bridge toll plaza. You guys cleared from 101. Heres the last slowing you see. 87 and 85 looking a lot lighter. Back to you. Maybe the commute a little bit better with not all of the kids in school this week. You get a momentary reprieve. Well see you again in 25 minutes. Welcome back, its monday, november 4, 2014. Im willey along with al and i love when you go to see the gorillas, they seem almost human. Sitting with their legs crossed. Sometimes they dont like the way youre looking at them. Take this gorilla at the berlin zoo. A couple tourists from ireland got a little too close. He reaches down, threw a rock. Good arm. And just heaves it at them. Luckily it didnt hit anybody. Geez. He was coming after. He didnt like the way they were, i dont know, talking a about him . Whats great hes just kind of walking. Youre not even expecting it then hey get out of the way. Theres no wind up to it. Theres nothing. Pure power. That was our monday moment. Share your monday moments with us. Grumpy cat on, now we have a grumpy gorilla. Whats up with that . And how about a Little Something happier for your monday .

Still windy as you make your way across the souther california area and more wet weather coming in to the Pacific Northw 9 32. Happy monday to you. Im meteorologist christina loren. Big holiday week. You might have family, friends coming into town, or if youre trying to get out, good news is, were going to see really comfortable, calm conditions all the way through thanksgiving thursday. 63 degrees in San Francisco today. 64 on the east shore, and 66 degrees on the peninsula. Heres the deal, temperatures warm up into the 70s for the next couple of days. Well stay nice and comfortable through your thursday. Then the rain moves in 2 00 p. M. On friday, were expecting the showers to arrive in the north bay. Thats your latest weather. Guys . Now to a look at what had you racing to your devices to search the web. All the excitement at the amas about a birthday shotout gone wrong. Daniel sieberg is back to break it down. Daniel, good morning. Lets talk about the hot searches. First up, the amas, of course, star studded as always. What were most most curious about . The American Music awards which was a great recap of the top artists of the year, fantastic performances. You see there pit bull was hosting and performing. One direction was performing. Bangbang, taylor swift gotten a awa award. Diana ross was up there at one point. Lorde, iggy azalea, all the big names in muse wirk there. It was a fantastic collection of all these artists in one place. Leading up to the event we saw interest in fashion, the red carpet. I would say that some of the searches may have been because there were positive connection to what people were wearing, others not so much. You see here j. Lo. She looked great. Fergie there as well. And then maybe this was one of those ones people had some questions about. But plenty of search interests and well leave it up to the viewers to decide. I agree. Lets move on to julianne moore. She recently revealed her role model. Meryl streep, which is probably not too surprising. A lot of female actors see her as their role model. Shes in the new hunger games mov movie. She says her kids convinced her to appear in the movie. Shes getting oscar buzz for the movie still alive. So lots of attention around her and a great actress. I love her. Shes phenomenal. And shes one of the nicest people whenever shes visited us. Now to birthday oops. John calipari was doing what he thought was nice thing. Wishing his daughter to happy birthday. What went wrong . He said happy 25th birthday, were so proud of you. Just off by a day which is a little embarrassing for a dad to do and to post to his 1. 3 million twitter followers. He was called out by people. His daughter posted awkward reminding him that its the next so she is 25 now. He wanted to be the first. He was just eager, he loves her so much. Did he clean it up . He kind of acknowledged it and apologized and during one of the recent press conferences with the university of kentucky there was a happy birthday balloon sitting next to him while he was giving his press conference. His birthday is not until february, in case youre wondering. [ laughter ] mea culpa. Love it. How about thanksgiving, what are people looking for specifically . Weve got, as you would expect, some recipes, foods. Pumpkin cheesecake was one of the ones that was popping up a lot which to me sounds like a fantastic sort of shift on the traditional food. Cranberry sauce was up there. Weve seen deep fried turkey, all sorts of recipes that come up. Not surprising people want to have that in advance and search for it before they invite everybody over and look like they know what theyre doing. And during thanksgiving everybody looking for sales online and the big sale not so much the black friday but cyber monday. Cyber monday and leading up to now is the beginning of the Online Shopping season, really. And weve seen searches for toys. Weve seen searches around American Girl dolls, my little ponies. Ive got to check my list here. Paw patrol. I feel like ill be buying half of these for my daughters. On the devices side you see Wearable Technology like the fit bit, tablets, portable speakers. Game consoles like that xbox 1 and ps 4. So id be happy to have the latter list. Im not so much sure about the kwirs one. You dont want the ouiji board . Daniel sieberg, thank you.

But you i went to florida to do a little pro am tennis tournament. I havent played tennis in three years. Look who i ended up playing with, Martina Navratilova and we played chris evert and timothy olyphant. He played in college. I felt i could have been awesome at tennis. I didnt know what to do. Martina is like, where are you going . And i didnt know. Youre always in the wrong place. There is a place youre supposed to be. Can i tell you how i got yesterday. Two years ago, you knew that three years ago. They knew i couldnt play. Do they think youre taking tennis lessons every week. She raised a lot of great money. For a great charity. Let me tell you how i got this is so humiliating and it happens sometimes. Humiliation story. My family is coming to the house so i need to make room in the closet. I started taking clothes out and give it to my doorman, downstairs, he gives it to church. I started bagging it up, bagging it up and so in the middle of it, there is this bag of stuff that wasnt good enough to give away and wasnt great and i threw it in the bag and i thought what should i do with this bag . I said ill stuff it down the trash chute. Well, sometimes you do, and it says no hangers and whatever. Im like, whos going to know. Wait, so i jammed it, like the grinch on christmas, down the this is a theme with you. Then i called philip to tell him about the bags and i couldnt carry them all downstairs. I said, when you get a minute, could you come up and grab the bags so you can take them to church. He said, sure, but were busy right now because the compacter is broken. I was, like, should i confess . I didnt know what to do. I didnt then, i hung up. I felt so guilty, i was, like, why did i do that . I broke the compacter. I felt terrible. This morning, at 5 00 a. M. , when im leaving my apartment, the doorman goes, hey, hoda, is this yours . It was it had fallen into the bag, and was in the compacter and they found it. Busted hard evidence. I looked at the doorman holding my badge and i thought to myself, well, now, thats it. Now i have to pay for the whole trash compacter. You should pay for it anyway. You should have said i did something so stupid, im so sorry to inconvenience you. A thousand dollars, no problem. I will pay for it. You think . Im scared. Probably going to be a bill when i go home. I felt terrible. I was already busted. They already know it was me. Dont put hangers and other things that arent they say please dont because if you have this but anyway if any of you have been on an airplane with hoda watching the overhead bin, please let us know your hoda stories with the overhead bin. It is just like that. Ive seen you climb up on the seats with people in them. It can fit. Heres the rule, it can always fit. All right. Speaking of traveling, you want to know what airports have the most delays . This didnt surprise me at all. Yeah. So they picked four of them. Number one, chicago ohare. Yeah, they always have weather issues going in. Like the major hub for the 42 of flights were delayed. 42 . During the winter, 2013. Thats two out of every five. Other terrible performers. Ft. Lauderdale, 38 . Maybe they were waiting for weather to clear up north. Right. At ohare. Liberty international. That didnt surprise me either. And denver. No. They all seem to be weather. Except for ft. Lauderdale, which is maybe like you said waiting. The ones that were the best. If you want to travel somewhere, they say go to honolulu because only 14 of the flights were delayed. Yeah. Thats usually because something the lava something, just never i dont know. I dont know why. Mechanicals. We dont even ask. I stopped asking questions about that kind of thing. A lot of people travel. I think wednesday, this coming wednesday is the biggest travel day of the entire year, right . And then sunday is the second . Are people coming to you. Is that whats happening . Theyre all converging . What is happening . Now regis and joy arent. Theyre out. But other people might. I dont know exactly how many yet. But all pretty local. My brother and his wife sandy. A small, nice one. Your goal theyre all coming to see me. Have you ever considered instead of hanging with your family getting away from your family for the holidays. Yahoo kept track of the most searched vacation destinations for thanksgiving. Here is where people are going. Puerto rico, hawaii, san diego, california, and steamboat springs, colorado. And scottsdale. People are going for the snow or the sun. Yes. Those are the two places that people are going. I cant imagine disliking my family so much that i would want to get away from them on a beautiful the one day when you thank god for all your blessings. Got to get away from my family. Maybe it is at the end of a long trip, a long stay. At the end. What are you saying . I dont have that, but, you know, occasionally i know people who do. If you want to go to venice, italy, come may, this next year, youre going to have a big, big problem because theyre going to ban these noisy suitcases that have wheels on them. The city council wants to ban rolling suitcases, residents in the beautiful city i love venice, it is awesome. They complain it is too loud. Yeah. Clunking along the streets with the luggage, which i thought was weird. How loud can it be . There are cars that not in venice. They dont have cars . Oh, right. Right. I didnt remember. Okay. The sound is giving venetians serious discomfort and it also says that it is leading to progressive deterioration of centuries old paving slabs, marble steps and foot bridges. I bet it is. Plus they have the theyre afraid of being taken over by the water. Imagine how you get your bag around. Thats hard. I mean thats not a nice thing to call your wife. And it is not even friday. You can get fined 500 euros. Theyre letting you use these kind of rolling luggage that have airfilled wheels, which like a bicycle. Like a bicycle kind, the soft tread, i guess. I would just get in the business of those if youre selling bring a backpack. Thats going to where are you putting your clothes . All your stuff . In the trash compacter, i guess. That is i wonder how much do you think it is going to cost . I dont want to know. I hope it is not really broken. Do you have Homeowners Insurance . No, i rent. I dont have anything. I think what probably happened is they probably cleaned it up and fixed it. Its fine. Im not going to worry about it. So if youre wondering who is going to perform at halftime of the super bowl, we have the answer. Okay. The super bowl folks officially released it. Katy perry will be performing. We were supposed to she was rumored and now it is true. There was some issue about how katy perry kind of hinted that the nfl wanted her to pay to play. And she said on one of the television shows, you know, i dont pay to play kind of thing. Anyway, so thats that. And then she also there is controversy surrounding katy perry this weekend. She was at a beach in sydney, australia. And i guess it was a nudist beach or i dont know. Anyway, she was stocked by paparazzi and she was wearing a bathing suit and i guess according to her, somebody said to her, one of the paparazzo said to her, drop your towel, well take a picture of you and well leave. Trying to make a deal with her. And she went you saw the picture of her pointing, she was very angry at them and refused, good for her and she wrote on her twitter page, you should be ashamed of your paparazzi and tabloid culture. They have no respect, no character, no humanity. One she claims was not wearing clothes at the time. This was all allege ealleged. She specifically named the australian paparazzi, jamie fawcett, the guy taking hes naked, hes taking pictures of her and hes had a history of getting a little too close to celebrities. Nicole kidman had once applied for a court order against him. And when he purr sued her in a manner she felt endangered her life, yeah, it happens. And she did take him to court for allegedly bugging her home. Hes got hes got some other things where he sounds like, yeah, hes got some issues. Very aggressive. Yeah. When frank and i got married, we had paparazzi, we were at a friends house in the hamptons and they were climbing through the dunes to get pictures. We went tearing out of there. We were just going to montauk for one night because he had a Football Game the next day. We knew it was endangering people. We just pulled over, let them take a shot and went on. They hadnt asked me to show them a bikini shot or something. I understand her being, you know, offended by that. That is really exploitive and sexist. Terrible. You know whats not . What . Our favorite things. Im so excited about this. Remember what i told you about rapid flash years ago, how it made my eyelashes grow to the point i had to trim them .

It seems like the way were online, is it a big deal anymore . There are still sales to be had. It is a big deal. Cybermonday, though, is still coming alive in terms of there are deals there, but what we this is a shift in consumers where we know well find deals at other times of the year. Better time, black friday or cybermonday . Depends what youre buying. A lot of the stuff you see stores sell where people line up are not always the same thing that you and i would buy, say, the next day. Made specific for that day, so it is not necessarily the same quality. Lets talk it is gone that day. Of course. So cheap, too good to be true. Just like anything else. Let me show you, first of all, historically we have a list. We also have where cybermonday deals have really gone well in the past. Okay. So here is some, like, last year over the last three years, these have really been the winners. Ralph lauren, tommy hilfiger, best buy, 6 00 p. M. , home depot nail it out of the park. Tommy hilfiger, half off that day. This year, what is going to happen this cybermonday . We have a list of bookmarks and youll see it at today. Com, and walmart, macys, amazon, all the big brands made their own cybermonday pages and what they they dont know whats available. When it populates, you can see what theyre going to sell. You got to get on it right away because the volume is only it is set. Right. And it is going to run out. And if you want that master clearinghouse, this is where it all started. This is a website called cybermonday. Com. We all heard about this one. 800 different retailers are here.

And this this is a duck, the moscave duck. I bet most people dont realize there is a difference between a domesticated turkey and a wild turkey. Arent they beautiful . Much more sleek, theyre fast, they can run, longer legs, they can fly 55 miles an hour. And the domesticated turkey, which, of course, was bred for meat, right . You can see the difference and they also are very alert. These guys down here. This guy, hes kind of just content. Im just hanging out, you know . Im fine. So really important the differences. Okay.

This is this is natures engineer right here. Peanut. Hi, peanut. What is his name, peanut . Yes. You know what, peanut was the sole survivor of a bear attack.

Yeah. Hes still traumatized by the bear attack. Yeah. Hes not used to come here. I feel so bad. Thats all right. Come here. Oh, wow. Thats a yes, peanut weighs about 50 pounds. About the same amount as a turkey. Okay. And these guys are amazing because they create habitat for all the other creatures in their area. And they actually are kind of considered the pied pipers of biodiversity. All these other animals follow when beavers come into an area. Theyre really critical. They are. Thanks. Who is next . Peanut right there. Im going to grab a glove. This is one of the most well, one of the largest most beautiful and most common hawks in north america. You guys know what this is . A red tailed hawk. Yes. Okay. This is also a rescue, like peanuts with a rescue, actually about 20 years ago that this bird was rescued. Has been an ambassador at our bush gardens Williamsburg Park and this is an animal that eats mostly rodents. Okay. Even though have you heard of pale male who lives in the city . On west side. Yes. Long lived birds, they live up to 35, even 40 years, so this guy has a longer life. But they really, really are great for pesk control, not just the pigeons out there, but up to 95 of their diet is rodents. Lets bring out the last guy. We have got this is the stinkiest of all.
