There are new questions being raised about that reserve deputy in oklahoma charged with manslaughter who said he mistakenly shot a suspect with his gun instead of his taser. We will talk to him exclusively in just a moment. But first nbcs Gabe Gutierrez c3 lo siento, lo siento. Into the reserve deputy program. Reporter a summary of state records shows bates had al 300 hours of trainin 2008. He is well in excess of what you would anticipa would have that was minimum requirements reporter but t acknowledged in a ra interview this week, not been able to find all of his gun certification records. We cant find the records that she supposedly turned and so were going t her to find out for sure if he did qualify for those. Reporter now citing multiple unnamed sources, tulsa wor report said supervisors were ordered to falsify trainin records. Some who refused were transferred to other positions, the paper claims. It has not been verified by nbc news. The sheriff said we dont respond to rumors. Bates is charged with Second Degree manslaughter and is on bail. Hes expected to be arraigned next week and his attorneys say he attempts to plead not guilty. Matt . Gabe, thank you very much. Reserve sheriffs Deputy Robert bates is with us now exclusively along with his wife, charlotte, his daughters kathy and le and his attorney mark brewster. Thank you for joining us. Good morning, matt. Mr. Bates, i want to talk about your training and your Training Records in a second. But i want you to take me back to april 2nd, the day this all happened. You were not supposed to be actively involved in the arrest of mr. Harris. You were supposed to provide support from several blocks away, but you did get involved in the struggle. You write in your written statement that you were not sure whether he was armed and you say that you saw, quote, a brief opening to use your taser to subdue him. Take me back to that moment. Matt, i was actually parked down the street at a sinclair station several blocks away from where the activity took place. In other words, the drug buy of dope and the gun purchased. He decided to bolt from the undercovers truck and run and he came to me. I had two other cars that were in front. I was the last car, as i always am. I carry the equipment that the deputies use to clear a scene, whatever. Ive been involved in several hundred of these. I do clean up when theyre done. I take notes. I take photographs. And thats my job. And when you got involved in this struggle, mr. Bates, did any of the other deputies or officers say help us . Tase him . Use your taser . No, matt. I yelled taser, taser as required in training. The deputy below me ducked, he pulled away from it so that i could. Now, ive never, you know first and foremost, let me apologize to the family of eric harris. You know, this is the second worst thing thats ever happened to me or first that ever happened to me in my life. I had cancer a number of years ago. I didnt think i was going to get there. Luckily, i was able to go to a hospital where i had hours of surgery. Id rate this as number one on my list of things in my life that i regret. Let me ask you to do this. Would you stand up for me for one second and show me where on your body when you are in your uniform you keep your taser and where you keep your weapon, your revolver . Can you stand up and show me . Sure. You bet. My taser is right here on the front tucked in a productive vest. My gun itself is on my side, normally to the rear. And people are going to look at that, mr. Bates, and say how could you make this mistake . How could you think you were going for your taser on your chest tucked into that vest and accidentally pull your weapon . Country. I have read about it in the past. I thought to myself after reading several cases, i dont understand how this can happen. You must believe me, it can happen to anyone. You yelled taser, taser. You mentioned the other deputy ducked and cleared so you could use your taser. And then you heard that gunshot. What were you thinking when you heard the shot . Oh, my god. What has happened. The laser light is the same on each weapon. I saw the light and i squeezed the trigger. And then realized and dropped the gun. This was not an intentional thing. I have no desire to ever take anyones life. You can be heard on that tape saying i shot him, im sorry. And theres a lot of emotion in your voice. What was the emotion . Was it sorrow . Was it shock . Was it fear for the repercussions of what you had just done . Matt, i never considered the repercussions of what i had just done. It was shock. Im not at all sure its not still with me today. Lack of sleep, inability to concentrate, all of those plus more. You know, i still cant believe it happened. Mr. Bates, in the wake of this incident, you have been portrayed as a wealthy and generous supporter of the Sheriffs Department and a close friend of the sheriff who has been rewarded for your Financial Support with the opportunity and this is whats out there, to play cop and carry a gun. Is that a fair characterization . That is unbelievably unfair. I have donated equipment as i saw fit. When the need happened to arise to allow the task force and other areas of the Sheriffs Office to better do their jobs on the street of tulsa. Tulsa has a drug problem. There is no question. Nobody argues that. I am willing to put up equipment to assist them, to better educate the public. I deal with young people all the time, matt. 13 and 14yearold kids using heroin. You know, i talk to them once were done and try to gain an understanding of, you know, why. Why has this happened. I was a policeman in tulsa and there wasnt heroin. That was in new york city, chicago problem. Not here. Let me get back to this story now thats been reported by the tulsa world based on Anonymous Sources and by the way unconfirmed by nbc news, that supervisors in the Sheriffs Department were ordered to falsify your Training Records and give you credit for Field Training and firearm certification that you did not deserve. How do you respond to those allegations . That is not correct. I have a written piece of paper that a mr. Warren crittenden now in jail had signed off to say i had done a good job. You know, the law firm has been most interesting. They seem to represent all the people that have been terminated by the Sheriffs Office without getting off on a tangent, you did the training and you can prove that you were certified . That is absolutely the truth. I have it in writing. Matt, if i may address this briefly, that point. The socalled evidence of falsified Training Records comes from a person that was terminated by the Sheriffs Office seven years ago. He signed an affidavit. Mr. Bates would have been with the department as a reserve just about a half a year or a year at that time. So seven years ago thats their evidence. And he is a person represented by the firm thats representing the family and he has a year ago been charged with first degree murder. So the credibility of the witnesses should have been or that particular witness should have been weighed carefully by press outlets before running that story. Mr. Bates, let me end on this. Youve been charged with Second Degree manslaughter. You face up to four years in prison. Have you allowed yourself to think about that possibility . Certainly. How could i not . Robert bates, mr. Brewster and the bates family, thank you for your time this morning. And of course we will be following this story. Youre welcome. All right. Meantime, Alaska Airlines is now banning the baggage handler who fell asleep in the cargo hold of one of the flights.

Preparations in full swing for the much anticipated arrival of william and kates second child. Keir simmons is on royal baby watch at Buckingham Palace. Keir good morning. Reporter good morning. Theres a flag flying over Buckingham Palace that tells us the queen is not here. Today maybe no baby. But when he or she comes an easel will be put at the gates and announcement on social media. The proud parents coming soon to the same hospital in west london. Royal baby the sequel. We are so excited to be here right around the time of the birth of the royal baby. Got to be a girl. Ill say boy. I hope they have a little girl. Reporter kate will even have the same medical team that delivered george and will be hoping for another natural birth. It was unclear if george known to make kids cry during play dates is truly aware hes getting a brother or sister. I think george will be thrilled having another smaller younger brother or sister. Reporter once again, william and kate have chosen not to know in advance boy or girl adding to the sense of anticipation. Its a global story and there will be global interest. I think if its a little girl as well that will add to the story. Reporter kate did wear pink while pregnant. But wait. She also wore blue. And spots and leopard print. No clue there. Looking increasingly pregnant during a visit, her due date has not been revealed but its any time now. Yeah. Its very exciting news. I cant wait to see my brother with more. Reporter harry himself was born two years after william. They grew up in the media spotlight with a glamorous mother. Diana tried to give them a normal life. There was such heart ache divorce, and tragedy. As he has so many times, william must be wishing his mother was here to share another moment of happiness as the world waits and watches once again. Truthfully there isnt the same feveristic excitement as there was two years ago. This is the second baby. Something else is missing as well. Natalie morales. I was just going to say. Sorry.

My doctor and i agreed that moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. He also prescribed lyrica. Fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. For some patients, lyrica significantly relieves fibromyalgia pain and improves physical function. With less pain i feel better and can be more active. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. Fibromyalgia may have changed things. But with less pain, im still a doer. Ask your doctor about lyrica today. Lyrica. Move forward with less fibromyalgia pain. Mornings got you a little. puppy squeal grab the good energy of quaker oats.

We have an update on something that has been trending all week. Gwyneth paltrows food stamp challenge. She took some heat about how she spent her 29. Shes calling it quits. Heres nbcs hali jackson. Gwyneth paltrow accepted a simple challenge to raise awareness about hunger. Could you survive on a food stamp budget of 29 a week . Thats just 4 a day. For paltrow, the answer is no. As i suspected, we only made it through about four days when i personally broke and had some chicken and fresh vegetables. Earlier this week paltrow tweeted this photo of her haul things like avocados limes, things that are cheap in Southern California. Just 24. 40 worth, a small budget that 46. 5 million americans are all too familiar with. My perspective has been forever altered by how difficult it was to eat whole some nutritious food on that budget even for a few days. The actress who gave herself a c minus sees the failed experiment as an eyeopening lesson to millions who face. Many hard working mothers are being asked to do the impossible. Paltrow made a rare acknowledgment that the ideas she sometimes touts are not realistic for most. Im not suggesting everyone eat organic food from some high horse in the sky. Im saying everyone should be able to afford fresh, real food. A challenge that goes far beyond a trip to the Grocery Store. For today, hali jackson, nbc news. Paltrow said that she was dubious, that she could actually complete the week on such a small budget. She made a donation to the new york city food bank. She seems to get criticized. A lot. One of those people like a lightning rod. Shes trying to do something good. Shining a light on a good topic. I think people are out of line on this. 29 a week to buy fresh fruits and vegetables produce. Its really hard to do that. Unrealistic. Were going to move on to another worthy cause. Run for today leading up to sundays more fitness shape womens Half Marathon here in new york this sunday. Natalie, you of course, the athlete youre cohosting the event. Running and cohosting with erica hill. Weve been sharing remarkable stories, stories like celeste cork ran and her daughter sydney who were injured in the Boston Marathon bombing. We caught up to them one day after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty on all 30 counts. We were at home and we turned on the tv and we literally sat side by side Holding Hands just bawling our eyes out for every single thing to be guilty was just we were beyond i cant say happy. You know thats not the word, but it was a sense of relief like they got it. They got it. You know they got this right. Guilty on all counts for the attack which took celestes legs and critically injured sydney. They had been at the marathon in 2013 to see celestes sister carmen, cross the finish line. Sydney was among the first survivors to testify at the trial. I wanted to let everyone know and i wanted to let him know that he did not break me. I can do this. Im fine. Weve been documenting their recovery from the shared hospital room to the early steps, to the emotional end of last years marathon when the world learned the meaning of boston strong. This time we spoke with them in the new home being built for celeste outside lowell massachusetts. Were sitting here in what will be your dream house. I have to pinch myself. I wake up and i think, its not real. The only way i could have done this is because of all the outpouring of support, whether it was services or money or you know donations. The house, which should be done by mid summer has wider doorways for her wheelchair. The elevator which was donated, will give celeste access to the whole house. This is going to be my sanctuary where i can continue to heal. We were there in orlando florida, when she got her new feet alongside fellow survivor jeff bowman. We were one of the first people to get these feet and theyve allowed me to have a more natural kind of walk. As celeste learned to walk again, carmen kept running. Its been you know sort of therapy for me. Her sister remains her inspiration. I feel like the first year was all about just figuring out how to get up and live and the second year has been a lot about healing internally for her whole family, for all of us. That family now includes two service dogs to help her move around celeste has sebastian. Hes my gentle giant. And sydney has code a to help her deal with post traumatic stress. How important has he been to your recovery . He saved my life. Really . What do you think we can all take away on the second anniversary of the marathon bombing . That time does heal although for so many of us our lives are changed forever. My heart breaks breaks for the lives that we lost that day. I cant imagine what those families are going through because i came so close to losing her, and sometimes i think, like why was i so lucky that i got to keep her and those families lost their loved ones. What began with an attack on an endurance race is now a testament to what can be endured and overcome. The outpouring of love and support that weve gotten, it doesnt erase it but it makes it bearable and it renews your faith in the human spirit. Im stronger because of it. They are doing so well. Its like monday at the 119th running of the Boston Marathon. We found some great runners on the plaza. We did. Weve been looking for a lot of runners lately. We want to thank as well some of the runners from around the country. Our nbc stations and affiliates who partnered with us on run for today, leading 5ks to Half Marathons.

Announcer todays Parenting Team is brought to you by johnsons. Now to todays Parenting Team. Sanity savers to help you manage the craziness of raising kids. Were talking about everything i can relate to all these things. With three moms and today contributors first up were dealing with six kids. Amanda good to have you here this morning. Ive got three kids. Youve got two kids. Inevitably theyre going to get sick especially at a young age. Lets start with kids and the taste of medicine. A little bit of chocolate goes a long way. Chocolate . Chocolate fixes everything. Youre kidding me. All you need to do is take a couple of chocolate morsels. Let the chock let melt on their tongue. So all they taste is the tweet chocolate and not the medicine. You do that first. Yes. Give them the yucky medicine and chocolate fixes everything. How about the lollipops . I take a lollipop and dip it in the medicine and i let her lick the lollipop. And shes getting the medicine off every time she licks the lollipop. When shes done she gets a lollipop and mom gets one too. Thats good for cough syrup. Right. Ive got three kids. Inevitably im worried about one passing it to the other. What is the solution to keep your kids from trying to keep them from getting sick . I think the best idea is keep them separated and maybe hope for the best. Its probably inevitable its going to happen. What about ear aches . Ear aches for ear aches, the great thing to do is to create your own heating pad. A sock fill it with the coarse salt. Add a little bit of lavender tie it off. Heat it up in a skillet for a minute or two. Its like a heating pad they can put on their ear or soar. You dont have to worry about plugging it in or burning them. Itll feel good on their face. What about sick kids at night and their sheets . If youve got tummy trouble and big messes ahead, youve got to thats the way of putting it. Think lasagna. You want to have layers of towels and layers of bed sheets. Couple different layers. If you have to go in for a cleanup, strip off the top layer and underneath the bed is clean and its made. They can get into bed, get back to sleep and you get ready for round two. Think lasagna there. Be preemptive. Smart. Thank you so much. Keeping your kids organized and getting them to help around the house is a chore in itself. But guess whos here with me. Bree smith whos the mother of a toddler. Bree hi. Hi good morning. We want to keep our kids busy. Off clever way to play with. This is great for infants and babies. Theyre called sensory bags. Super easy. Zip lock bag, hair gel, nonpointy toys wrap it with duct tape. These are great. They actually you cant not poke it right . Right. And youre worried the gel may ooze out of there, but its safe enough . Double bag. Of course you dont want to give something to a baby and not supervise. All right. So kids inevitably have crayons and little toys all over the place. You found a great way to store them with baby wipe containers. Washed. Those toys when you step on them they hurt. Little toy cars. These are great. You can decorate them. And little hands fit perfectly in here. Clever. Yeah. Great way to keep them organized and when you go visit, go over to auntie hodas house, you get one box to take with you. Kids like to help with chores. This is a good way to sort for the kids. You add one person to your household and it seems like you added ten when it comes to laundry day. Make them sort. They get a white basket color basket. Theyre learning already. Instead of taking away the Electronic Device take away the charging cord. Thats playing with their brains. Essentially it reinforces good decisions. Instead of taking away the device youve still got it. You have to ration how youre going to spend the 60 im already hyperventilating. But you can use your device if you want to use it. Just you ration it out. Kids love to pour things. Let me pour let me pour. And it inevitably leads to a mess. Bree figured something to stop this. An open addition washer door is toddler height which is genius. If they want to poor their own juice, you just open the door and let them poor as much as you want. Oh look. Its in the dishwasher.

Well have a new question to weigh in on in honor of mothers day. Whats the best life lesson your mother taught you. You can share your stories by going to today. Com parentingateen. My lovely fiance. A super simple skillet supper. Dont say that ten times fast. This is today on nbc. Back now at 8 43. Sunday the 40th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. They showed up two of the survivors. A very special experience coming back after 20 years. Reconnecting with survivors. You may remember the extraordinary rescue of dana bradley from the building. She has rarely talked about it. She and her sister felicia both survived the bombing and youll see theyre still recovering all these years later. Survivors with a simple wish. Normal as they knew it ended when a church bomb exploded in Oklahoma City april of 1995. I was terrified. I was screaming for help. Reporter dana bradley and her sister felecia bradley had been running an errand. They suffered debilitating injuries, slow to heal. I cried a lot. One part of my pain was the burn. Reporter and this photo shows daina pinned under rubble powered by debris. The only way out was almost thinkable. A doctor would do a battlefield style amputation. I told him, do what you have to. If youve got to cut my leg off, do what you have to. Reporter you wanted to live . I wanted to live you know . I just wanted to get out of there. Reporter there was more. The sisters had not gone to the Federal Building alone. Their mother and two small children were killed. I would love to see her grow up. My mother was everything to me. Reporter both sisters lost a physical part of themselves. Dainas leg and felicia lost her right ear from extensive burns, but now after waiting 20 years, felecia finally received a prosthetic ear. Reporter do you mind showing it to us . Its a blessing to me. Ive got an earring. Im real cute now. Beautiful. Oh, yeah. Reporter her sister daina, a different kind of change. She had never returned to the bombing site until now. Finally sing this memorial and the chairs in honor of her mother and two babies. Theyre beautiful. Im happy to see that their names are there. Reporter two sisters who shared the will to survive. What do you think youve accomplished here . I have accomplished like 20 years of fear and success. Reporter and the courage to keep living. I like it because im with her and were together and were doing it together now. Reporter and it was really quite something to watch daina see this place for the first time and to now be able to share it with her sister for many years to come. If you notice dainas limp its he because her prosthetic is outdated and it doesnt fit well. We were able to help her meet up with experts in new york city. Shes hoping the attention around the bombing will help her get a leg that works better to keep her recovery going. Hoda . Absolutely. People who saw that should step up to the plate and help her out. Absolutely. I have a feeling somebody will. I have a feeling youre right. Were going have a lot more from Oklahoma City this weekend on today and on nbc nightly news. First this on today on nbc. All right. Were back at 8 49 with our final super simple skillet supper. In my own humble opinion weve saved the best for last. My lovely fiance siri is here. I call her bingo. Dont let that throw you. One of our favorite dishes from one of our restaurants. When we moved Cross Country last year, we were a little worried about our sons adjustments. He was 5 years old. The first thing he saw in our town benny hanna. He was like california a wha . Its hard to replicate those recipes. This is a simple shrimp and noodle stir fry. Right now we have mushrooms and zucchini in the skillet. Add the green onions. They have a prakogram there where you can be she chef. I did it and cooked the entire meal for our whole family. It was super fun. There i am there. But you learn all the tricks. Okay. Now what . This is going to saute for about five minutes. For now we can transfer them into our bowl and well work on the shrimp. Transfer them to the bowl. Just dump everything in. Dump it into your bowl. And then were going to add just a little bit more Vegetable Oil right here. Just a little drizzle. Okay. All right. Youve already got some oil in the pan. And were going to add our shrimp. You deveined it taken the tails off. Siri did. Lets be honest. I had them take the tails off this. You want to try one of the tricks . Theres the lava onion, the beating heart. I did them all. You take the tail of the shrimp with your spatula. Were going to try to flip it and try to catch it. Ill go first. One, two, three. You did it up high. Go hope hoda. Almost. Come on. Very close. Oh the shrimp only takes a minute or two to cook. You want them sort of pink. Were going to throw everything back in the skillet at the end. So you want just a minute or two on each side. And so they sort of curl. I cant believe you just did that by the way. Its still in my hat. Im going to keep it there all day. All right. Then were going to add everything back together. These are japanese udon noodles. These are cooked . Cooked. Were going to put everything back in here in the skillet. Did it take you awhile to figure out how to recreate the flavor . You know after going there maybe 45 times and every celebratory meal ever you get the shes like the norm and cliff of benny hannah. When she walks in they go bingo the most important part is the garlic butter. Youve seen them slather it on there. Dont kid yourself everybody. Its garlic butter. Its just softened butter with minced garlic. So were going to throw that in there. And then chicken sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. To make a thick sauce, turn up your heat a little bit and it will concentrate it. There you have it there. I like hot sauce on mine. Thats delicious. Siri awesome. Really good. Nice job, bingo. Can you make an egg roll . Yeah. Push it. There we go. Go to the website today. Com. And thank you, bingo. Job well done. Thank you. Were back in a moment but first this is today on nbc.

No. I just sat down. Back then they didnt care. No. You just sat there. It was the best. Hearing that music and seeing the xwing fighter, you feel like youre 10 years old again. And mark hamills voice. And how great does Harrison Ford look in that . He looks amazing. I think we all go midnight show zplp show we already said that earlier. But can we dress in costume .

Every time we say what are we going to watch tonight, if we cant think of anything star wars. Not the prequels. You know i still havent seen those . Because i didnt want to tarnish my memory. If its a bad weather day, put it in. Some great acting. There are some controversial characters lets be honest. But its good. To me one of the redeeming value of those first three, samuel l. Jackson. And yoda kicks butt against you get a texture of the characters. Its jar jar we cant move past. Heres a picture of a very odd looking han solo. I love yoda. Wow. Look at that. My goodness. So we will be in costume in line with everyone that day. Can we zip past the rest of the year and to that . That were excited about. This were not so excited about. Video of espn reporter Britt Mchenry berating a tow company employee. This is an edited portion of what she had to say. Her car had just been towed from a parking lot of a restaurant. She went to pick it up. Im in the news sweetheart i will [ bleep ] sue this place. Thats fine. Ill play your video so careful. I wouldnt work at a [ bleep ] place like this. Makes my skin crawl even being here. Yep thats all you care about is just taking peoples money. With no education, no skill set. Just wanted to to clarify that. Do you feel good about your job . So i could be a College Dropout and do the same thing . Why because i have a brain and you dont . Dont say that. Maybe if i was missing some teeth they would hire me, huh . Oh like yours because they look so stunning. Because im on television and youre in a [ bleep ] trailer, honey. Lose some weight baby girl. Espn suspended her for one week. She did apologize on twitter. This is part of it. In an intense and stressful moment i allowed my emotions to get the best of me and said some insulting and regrettable things. As frustrated as i was, i should always choose to be respectful and take the high road. I will learn from this mistake. We spoke to someone in mchenrys camp who says the tape can be edited. And it doesnt show the complete version of events. But either way this person said theyre not justifying her actions, they just want you to know it may have been moving around a bit. What is moved around . Maybe her reaction is to Something Else that was said. So theyre saying the woman caused her to react that way . Theyre not justifying it. And there is no justification. Whether or not she knew there was a camera recording which she did because the employee said it but still. You dont talk to people like that. You can express frustration. My goodness im so mad my car got towed. But the poor lady shes doing her job. Then you Start Talking about her physical appearance. And economic situation. Her education. And in her tweet apology, maybe she has apologized to the worker i dont know. But at least in the tweet, i dont know its 140 characters but it would have been nice to see one saying by the way i did apologize to this woman. Shes a human being. It is hurtful. I was riding my bike yesterday. I was at a bike and i heard something just foul language just berating somebody on a Customer Service line on the other end. Forget about treating people with respect and as human beings. Do you think thats going to really help you . Thats what i say. With what youre looking for . When you see that kind of behavior do you feel a responsibility to do anything about it . To call people out a little bit . Because were doing a whole dateline series about this coming up. Its hard. If you see somebody being abusive to Say Something. Physically abusive, i think i would. My mother says i have this savior complex. If i Say Something the next thing its escalated to why are you talking to that person way. And if they are aggressive then it picks up. Physical im going to help anyone. When ive been on the subway and heard kids using foul language i say do you really want to use that . And they tell me to blank off. And you just walk away. But you know maybe theyll think about it when they get home. Theyll say you know that jerk al roker. Your point, do you think someone will respond in a helpful way when youre attacking them . If shes upset about her car tow towed away be l that help the situation . No. But were all in that situation where you get to a point you just feel like you cant take it anymore but you dont treat people like that. Were all human. This next story shows that. Pat mccrory. Were behind. Im with duke university. Excuse me. That was on camera. Tada yes. That my friends, grace under pressure. That is grace under pressure. He was under the table. Its all about how you react. He could have been embarrassed but he went and had a good time. Nicely done. That should be the hash tag today. All how you react. Thats a good thing. Lucy teach you that . Of course. You have lots of weather to talk about today. We do. We got this low pressure system not going anywhere. What we call a cutoff low because theres no steering mechanism for it. So it is stuck. And so its creating severe thunderstorms today. We could be looking at tornadoes in san antonio, houston, corpus christi. Then hail, damageing winds. And tomorrow more of the same. Veer thunderstorms down in houston, corpus christi. Could see tornadoes out of these. And heavy downpours stretching from texas all the way to the florida panhandle. So weve got flash flood watches, flood warnings. Upwards of 8 inches along the louisiana coast. And as you get inland maybe 5 inches of rain in parts of Nebraska Kansas and oklahoma. So flooding going to be a big problem this weekend thats w 9 12. Happy friday bay area. Taking a look here. San francisco is going to be a little bit cooler for today as we get into the next couple days. Youll notice more of an on shore flow.

And the musical is being directed by diane pollock. Theyre with us this morning. Good morning. Good morning b. We had a chance to see the show. We all love the story.

No its its a big task every night to kind of tackle i sing 14 songs in the show. Wow. And he dances. A great dancer he is. But i never leave the stage. But its for as much energy as i put out there, i get back. I feel so fulfilled every night taking my bow and just i really feel like the show is telling a great story and the audiences are loving it. Its a great journey to be on. Congratulations to you, diane. It was the edge of your seat the whole time. Its so great. Youve had a lot of success already. Won a tony on broadway. But this it feels to me is a big production but theres also so much anticipation about it. Is that a little stressful for you to draw the curtain open on Opening Night . The Audience Response to this has been so tremendous. And ive been sitting for three weeks in previews watching every show. And i have been amazed. I have never experienced this kind of response across stages. Ive seen kids parents, everyone and theyre just moved. And i really believe thats why people go to the theater. To feel alive and be moved by a powerful story. And when you have a cast like matthew and kelsey grammer, you know who are giving so much every performance, its kind of a dream come true as a director. Whats it like working with kelsey . Ive been a fan of his for such a long time. He makes me laugh every night but he also is the biggest baby. This last kind of number thing, hes so connected to the show. The faith is a big part of our show. The last number we sing hes behind me and hes so into it and he falls and i can hear him crying. Like he cries every night. Hes a pleasure. Hes so emotional. And we have a special guest from the show joining us this morning. Shal . Tinkerbell. You mean the guy with the flashlight . Oh, hi, tinkerbell. Thats our little fairy right there. Jerry the fairy.

Does running burn this . 25 more calories than walking or 50 more calories than walking . Im going to say this. 25. Im saying 50. You have to do jumping jacks. So 25 unfortunately i love walking, its a great form of exercise but it is that. 50 . The reason why, when you run you have to jump off the ground which takes more energy. So walking is great, but if you can get it to a run, do a run. Loser does pumpshups. Which of these two songs are more helpful for running a tenminute song . Song number one katy perry roar.

My family, we love the kitchen. This week ive got great gluten free recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner. We are trying to cut back. We want to start with breakfast. Ive always talked about the bacon waffle. And i had this epiphany. I had leftover waffle mix and bacon. I thought why not combine the two. Any gluten free waffle pancake mix. I like one called pamelas. And you basically take your waffle batter now, when you said gluten free i was like is it tasty. It is tasty. And you said . You take already cooked bacon that you have and you close up the waffle maker. And boom. Then you take it out. Heres the waffle. Why does it taste so people think that you have to compromise something. I dont know. Its pamelas. Its a brand. You pour the syrup over youre good. Thats breakfast. Now, my daughter leila likes to be a little vegetarian. I found this recipe when i went to the white house. This young woman, 10yearold young lady mira solomon came up with this recipe. Youre going to saute garlic onions chop it up. Some spices. And then youre going to saute everything in the pan. Then youre going to put in your black beans. Youre going to let this cool for about five minutes. Then youre going to put that into the blender. Put that in. And then you just kind of take this. What binds this together . Anyway its going to and you put it in here. And then youre going to add an egg white, gluten free bread crumbs. Mix them together. And then you put them in the fridge for about 30 minutes. They firm up. And you make patties. And you cook them about five minutes a side. Im still on breakfast. Its too good. I love them. Do you toast your bun . I dont like my bun toasted. But thats just me. And theyre gluten free buns. And for dinner we like to do little wraps. Delicious. Okay. That burger is so good. You let this wrap soften a bit. Then once they soften this water is cooled off a bit but youre basically going to come along and take whatever ingredients u you have. Veggies, chicken, scallions. And youre going to fold this over and make yourself these nice little wraps. With shrimp or whatever. Dipping sauce. A little soy sauce and scallion chopped up together. Its not soy sauce. Its tamari because soy has gluten in it. Youve got to make this burger tonight. Its amazing. Recipes all on the website. Were back in a moment. This is today on nbc.

Post traumatic syndrome. Zach had hit rock bottom. Came home as a navy s. E. A. L. From afghanistan, good father and then his life was hammered by hardship. His brother died he had posttraumatic stress, started drinking and called me after he had been arrested. Yeah. The funny thing, youve been writing about resilience but werent fighting your voice until you put it in letter form to him right . Thats a nice way to put it. Ive been writing about resilience and it had all been bad. Nothing had connected. Once i was really helping my friend, my friend who i loved, i had served with suffered with who had been through the s. E. A. L. Team training everything came together and it worked for zach and hopefully for other people. Had a purpose for it. Exactly. Distinct purpose.

And in all of our lives were not responsible for everything that happens to us. We are responsible for how we react to what happens to us. Right.

Everybody does have to deal with pain you have to deal with suffering, hardship but if we have a sense of humor, it keeps a sense of perspective and find a way to work through pain and build wisdom. We confront fear and build courage, move through suffering and build strength. Also the other thing having a sense of humor does it reminds us were not alone. Yeah. We can have a joke with somebody else reminds us were not alone. You were blessed to have Great Teachers and mentors. I had so many Great Teachers and mentors growing up. Wonderful parents, wonderful parents, Great Teachers. I had really good mentors one of whom was a sunday schoolteacher who asked me to do service work at a homeless shelter. I was 16 years old. I had done some Service Projects before and he said to me and were going to spend the night in the homeless shelter. Thats a whole other magoo. When 16 years old that was a little scary but what i so appreciated about my mentor he said its important for you to understand how all of your neighbors are living.

Good friday morning. It is 10 26. Im sam brock. Californias water board will unveil its blue print for enforcing governor browns plan to cut back water usage by 25 . Most communities will have to reduce water output anywhere from 10 to 35 depending upon how much customers in that area currently use. Some Regional Water agencies are filing complaints over the cutbacks but the governor says he has no intention of backing down. Meantime. Police officers in campbell have their hands full of kittens. These three from found in a public works yard yesterday morning, and according to the merck one employee opened a car door and found them inside. Theyre bottle feeding the kittens until theyre old enough to be adopted. Well look at your weather and traffic coming up after this break. Back on this try day friday with the talented and handsome diogo morgado. Roll the r, more fun. I cant do that. Awesome. You might remember diogo best for taking on an epic role cast as jesus in the 2013 hit tv series the bible on the history channel. Year later went on to play the chosen one once again this time in the big screen movie son of god. These days diogo is doing a 180, showing his devilish side as the man in the new cw show called the messengers. Check it out. I dont want to see san thomas. Tomas. San tomas. Definitely calling the cops bro. I seem to find myself in need of some clothes. Not sure i can help you. But i insist. Oh. I was going to say, i didnt want to see it but then i saw it and said i do want to see it. Youre so sweet as jesus and this guy isnt the devil but he is devilish. Hes devilish, yes. I mean the show the messengers, this is a story basically a mysterious crashes on earth, wave that kills five strangers. They die and come back to life with special powers with special abilities. You have died in this event . I am that object. Youre the object . Thats why the burning thing. Behind you. Yeah. Behind me. You the man. Im the man. Why the man is it. Why the man . Hes not allowed to use any special powers. Thats one of the things that, you know attracted me to the role was the fact that he is not allowed to interfere in any other way than the human way, like he can talk people into situations, he can manipulate the outcome of it. It is interesting because its i mean after playing jesus a lot of stuff changes on me. Its like i bet. For me this is like playing jesus did not work for me. Lifechanging experience. Talk about that for a second. Youve been acting since you were a teenager. Since i was 15. And suddenly you get this role and how did your life change after playing jesus . So many ways. I mean you know being the face of the purest love form you know telling the story what for me is the most beautiful love story ever you know sharing love all around the world with no countries, with no race with no boundaries, just unconditional. Unconditional love. Something out of it would not work for me. It was a personal journey. This is like going back to work. But impact the way you lived your life as the father of a 5yearold . Definitely. Definitely. I used to believe we needed like a group of people could change the world, now i believe that it starts with each one of us. Yes. Our ability to change things for the best in ourselves, and then share that change with everybody around us. Yeah. Did it change the evil part works as well as the same sneaky way and the man is a proof of that. Hes wicked and sneaky like coming as a lawyer with a good argument. Were you reluctant to take the role just after playing the other roles and then . It was interesting to me i wanted to make sure of where it was the direction they wanted to do with the role. Yeah. So the fact that they told me that he will never have a special power, he will never be allowed to interfere directly with peoples lives, was really interesting to me. Yeah. Because i can see how evil operates in this world in many different forms and unfortunately in ways we all can relate with. You always say its fun to play the bad guy. Its a lot, its yeah. You dig in. Fun is not the word. Its tricky. For me the man represents the darkest. Of humanity. Of humanity. Like its our fears, he uses our fears and weaknesses against us. Sometimes, you know, hes going to bump into people that look like theyre really strong and really all in themselves and suddenly theyre so weak with a single little thing that the man knows about them and uses that. Enjoys their pain. I think a lot of our own humanity is going to be tested, you know, and showcased in this show. Well diogo morgado. Morgado. Morgado. Nice having you on. I love you guys saying that. The messengers premiers tonight on the cw. Couple things that will make you feel good yoga moves for the entire family.
