We cant help him, were helpless. I mean, weve got bats versus rifle. Reporter the gunfire early wednesday reportedly lasting for ten harrowing minutes, aimed at republicans practicing for a Charity Baseball game. The gunman, 66yearold James Hodgkinson, reportedly started firing from behind the fence along the third baseline, moving toward home plate and then back toward the dugout unable to find a way onto the field.

Reporter on hodgkinsons social media account, a history of antirepublican and antitrump posts. The president calling for unity. We may have our differences but we do well in times like these to remember that everyone who serves in our Nations Capital is here because, above all, they love our country. Reporter congressional leaders echoing those sentiments on the house floor. We are united in our anguish. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Reporter meanwhile, the congressional baseball game will go on as planned tonight, just over the potomac here at National Stadium in washington, d. C. President trump apparently wanted to attend. Secret service telling him that because of the late hour, they would not be able to make the necessary take the necessary precautions to get him there. Meanwhile, it was revealed yesterday that the gunman had volunteered for the Bernie Sanders president ial campaign yesterday senator sanders took to the senate floor to denounce violence of any type. Savannah, matt . Craig melvin where it all began 24 hours ago. Thank you. We are also learning more this morning about the two capitol hill Police Officers being credited with stopping that attack from becoming a massacre. That in the words of one of the elected officials who was there. Nbcs tom costello is at Medstar Washington Hospital Center this morning, thats where congressman scalise and one of the officers are still being treated. Tom, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Quick update now on representative scalise. Hes in Critical Condition. We are told the bullet entered his left hip, it traversed across the pelvis causing significant injuries, fractured bones, internal bleeding, internal injuries. He received several units of blood, underwent emergency surgery and more surgery is planned. Meanwhile, also here is that officer crystal griner who is credited along with her partner with saving many lives yesterday morning. After an allout gun battle in the park shots being fired. And there are people running, possibly victims involved. Reporter this morning two u. S. Capitol Police Officers, crystal griner and david bailey, are being hailed as heroes for immediately returning fire and saving the lives of members of congress, family members and many others. If they would not have been there, this would have been a massacre of major proportions of innocent people in a park where innocent civilians walk their dogs. We have kids at practices. Officers griner and bailey prevented that, and my family and i will be forever grateful. The thin blue line held today. Reporter the officers were only there because the gop whip has a security detail. Most rank and file members of congress dont. The Capitol Police were firing from behind the dugout we were in, the first base dugout. I kept yelling back, are you friendly . Are you friendly . We didnt know if there was another gunman or this was return fire. Reporter within three minutes, they had backup from Alexandria Police, but officer griner was down, shot in the ankle, later airlifted to the hospital. Officer bailey suffered a minor ankle injury himself. One of the most seriously injured, matt mika, a lobbyist for tyson foods, was shot in the chest. Zackary barth, a congressional staffer, shot in the leg, was treated and released. On the house floor, speaker paul ryan. It is clear to me, based on various eyewitness accounts, that without these two heroes, agent bailey and agent griner, many lives would have been lost. Reporter arizona senator jeff flake tweeted out he had personally gone to the hospital and met with both the officers and thanked them for saving his life. Really, a sentiment echoed across the political spectrum. But, in addition, a lot of thanks as well to the officers from alexandria who responded immediately also, engaged the suspect, pinning him down and that gun battle going on, as you know, for about ten minutes. Back to you. Tom costello, thank you. Congressman Roger Williams injured his ankle during that attack and his congressional aide Zachary Barth was shot in the leg. Gentlemen, good morning to both of you. Its good to see you. Good morning. Congressmen, forgive me for creation this first question to zach, but this is the first time weve gotten to talk to him and see him. Zach, how do you feel and what happened yesterday . Yeah, im okay. Im very blessed to be alive. And thank goodness for agents bailey and griner. As you all said, without them, there would have been tremendous loss of life. And i probably wouldnt be talking to yall. Zach, you were shot. You were out in the outfield. You managed, though, to get yourself into that dugout. What happened once you got into the dugout . Sure. So, they started shooting at me. I was pinned down in right field. And at that point, i got struck in the leg and made a run for it. I was running for my life. Got into the dugout and i was bleeding pretty badly, but i was really just trying to keep my head down, keep everybodys heads down and prevent anything else from happening. We were we didnt know what was going on. There was a lot of uncertainty and we were just trying to stay alive. As i understand it, zach, you more or less jumped right into the congressmans arms, right congressman williams . What happened from your perspective . Well, i was hitting ground balls on the third base side, our third baseman, trent kelly, not knowing, frankly, that the shooter was probably just 20 yards away from where i was. Then i went around and started hitting balls to Steve Scalise. I hit the first grounder to him and all of a sudden we heard this pop. And a lot of us thought it might have been a car backfiring, but then it became pop, pop, pop, pop. People were run yelling, hes got a gun, get cover. And i turned and i immediately, it was a reaction, i guess, i dove into the dugout. The dugout is six foot into the ground, so its a pretty far its a pretty far dive headfirst on a concrete slab, but i did it. When i got there, i was immediately with congressman flake and mo brooks. And all of a sudden here comes zach, and he just jumped in there and all of a sudden here we were arm to arm. And mo brooks took his belt off and gave it to flake and i and we helped put a tourniquet on zachs leg to help his bleeding. And then we stayed down. And we had we had generations in this dugout. We had everybody from my age to the late 60s to a 10yearold, joe bartons son was in the dugout with us. And people were protecting him. So we bonded that day, but it was a scary thing. And i just want to say real quick that the thin blue line worked. These two officers were fabulous. They saved all of our lives. Theres no question that it would have been different if they hadnt been there. And we owe it all to them. If you think about what would have happened had that gunman not been opposed by those two officers during those first three minutes before the Alexandria Police got there. Another thing that struck me, i dont know if you saw that animation we had, this gunman started on the third base side, went up and down the line around toward home plate and back up because he couldnt find a way to get on the field. Have you stopped to think about what would have happened had he made his way onto that field . Well, it would have been a lot different. And the amazing thing was, he was trying to get through a gate and the gate was locked. So he couldnt get through the locked gate. He had nowhere to go. But if he had gotten onto the field, i mean, we would have had nowhere to go. We had baseballs and bats to defend ourselves. So the lord worked his the lord worked yesterday. He saved us. And were grateful for that, but also grateful, again, for these Capitol Police that saved all of us. Zach, i always wonder what it must be like to lay your head down on your pillow after a day like the one you had yesterday and what thoughts go through your mind. Can you share how youre feeling and how youre thinking about whats transpired . Yeah, i mean, im receiving plenty of prayers and thoughts. The people around me, weve got a Great Community. Im from houston, texas. Plenty of people back home have reached out to me. And the people around here, you know, on both sides of the aisle, weve got a Great Community up here on capitol hill. And everybody has just lifted me up and i couldnt be more blessed. I have to say, its going to be one of the most watched congressional softball games in history. Its not softball. Baseball, excuse me, baseball. With good reason. I know your thoughts and prayers go to everyone impacted by this tragedy. Certainly has. We hope people come to the game. We hope nat stadium is full. 50,000. It goes to charity. Some people thought maybe we shouldnt have played it but as speaker ryan and joe barton and i talked about, we need to play this game. Its baseball, its americas game. When america gets punched, america punches back and well do that tonight. Congressman Roger Williams and zach barth, best wishes to both of you for your recovers, thank you. And now well turn to the investigation into the russia involvement in the 2016 election now led by special Counsel Robert Mueller. The Washington Post is reporting that muellers team is actively investigating the possibility that President Trump obstructed justice. Nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander joins us from the white house. What can you tell us . Reporter this could be a significant turning point in the investigation. The president the subject of a criminal investigation into possible obstruction of justice. Just moments ago, President Trump tweeted writing, they made russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice. As President Trump was wrapping up his 71st birthday, an unwanted gift from robert mueller. Washington post reporting they are expanding the russian inquiry, now saying the president may have obstructed justice. Investigators working with mueller are reportedly preparing to interview three top intelligence officials including director of National Intelligence dan coats and the head of the National Security agency mike rogers. Its a Dramatic Development in an investigation thats been looming over the Trump Administration since day one. The post reporting the obstruction of justice investigation began days after mr. Trump abruptly fired fbi director james comey on may 9. The move appearing to confirm what comey told senators under oath last week, when asked whether he believed the president s request to back off the investigation into National Security advisor Michael Flynn amounted to obstruction. Thats a conclusion im sure the special counsel will look to, to try to see what the offense was and whether it was the intention. Reporter comey said that mr. Trump did not try to stop the russia probe. Mark caz the lawyer, not denying the post report but saying the fbi leak of information regarding the president is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal. Mueller on capitol hill on wednesday meeting privately with the leaders of the Senate Intelligence committee. The chairman of that Committee Richard Burr called their meeting constructive. The latest headline 24 hours after the president s aides tried to knock down speculation he may try to fire mueller. The spokesperson said, while the president has every right to fire him, he has no intention to do so. And new this morning, the wall street journal reports that the former deputy of the National Security agency wrote a memo documenting a phone call that his boss, mike rogers, had with the president. President trump reportedly cast doubt on the intelligence committees conclusion that russia interfered with the election and tried to persuade admiral rogers that there was no evidence of collusion between his campaign and russian officials. Matt and savannah . Peter alexander, thank you. Lets bring in msnbcs chief Legal Correspondent ari melber. Good morning to you. Lets play this out, two of the key intelligence officials, mr. Coats and mr. Rogers, have already said that they didnt feel, they said this under oath, that they were not pressured in any way to end any kind of investigation. So is this obstruction investigation now going to boil down to the word of james comey verse the word of the president . Probably not. Thats because the doj doesnt care about their feelings in the way they put it in the now famous testimony. The doj cares about the feelings and intent of the president. This is by far the Largest Development legally in the trump era. It is a sign that the inquiry is not just about the campaign in the past, its a criminal inquiry into the president s conduct in office, the present. And how is that likely to proceed . I mean, in a normal investigation, one might try to get the testimony of the person youre investigating. Could mueller conceivably get the testimony of President Trump under oath . Could it set up a situation where the president could say, i dont want to testify because of the privilege or fifth amendment . All those things are possible. Previously, we have seen prosecutors or independent prosecutors seek testimony of white house aides, senior officials and get it. Grand jury testimony is hard to resist. President clinton was faced with it, and we are not there yet, they agreed voluntarily to do grand jury testimony under oath. Whether a president would not agree and be forced is a legal question that has never been answered. Ari melber, thank you very much. Another big story we have been covering this morning, that terrible inferno in london. The death toll has raisin risen overnight and is expected to go higher. At least 17 people lost their lives in the fire that consumed a highrise apartment building. And this morning many more people still remain missing. Authorities are calling this the citys worst fire in a generation. Bill neely is nbcs chief global correspondent and is there again for us this morning. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. Amazingly, this building is still on fire, the death toll rising, dozens still missing. Most of them lived on the top floors of this building. Among them, whole families of five, six and seven people. Its another terrible blow for a country that recently has been hit hard. High up in the smoking tower block, they are recovering bodies. Down below, the shock is still sinking in. People calling mom, dad, their loved one, and i couldnt do anything. Reporter relatives wait helpless. I dont think they are alive. Reporter you dont think so. Fire swept the tower in minutes as people slept. At least 600 inside. Theres a family, theres a kid reporter they signaled with flashlights, tied sheets to escape. Firefighters battling to save them. Hes going, hes going. Reporter and distressing scenes inside, a woman failed her attempted escape. Hello. Come here. Reporter she and her children are still missing. Like five of this mans family. The whole family went up, complete. Reporter theres grief and anger. The building recently covered in toughened plastic. No sprinkler was required, but there was no central fire alarm. A couple people have described this to me as a death trap. Is that going too far . Obviously, it was a death trap. Reporter and a death toll, police say will rise by dozens. So real anger here. The singer adele has come to this area. She visited last night. Shes from london. She met residents, just one of the millions here really shocked by this tragedy. Matt and savannah . Bill neely in london, thanks. Now well get a check on the weather.

That is where members of congress will hold their Charity Baseball game tonight. Its a tradition that has been going on since 1909. And that Charity Event will go on as planned tonight.

Lets check some of the other headlines this morning. The president is under investigation for obstruction of justice. Thats according to a report in the Washington Post. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has requested interviews with three highranking current or former intelligence officials and also seeking documents related to the white houses interactions with with nsa over that russia investigation.

Amazingly, everybody walked away from that crash. Police, though, are still searching for the driver of the truck who fled the scene on foot. Marijuana and Drug Paraphernalia were found inside that vehicle. A close call. Really close. Let us turn back to the big story of the morning, the attack on members of congress. As we learn more about the 66yearold shooter, James Hodgkinson. The team is standing by with the latest. Justice correspondent pete williams. Good morning to you. Reporter matt, investigators are discovering more by the hour about this illinois man who was accused of being the gunman and killed at the scene, except the answer to one of the big questions. Why did he do it . For nearly three months, investigators say, James Hodgkinson lived in this cargo van near the ball field he attacked early wednesday morning. Residents say he often showered at this nearby ymca. I would see him down in the locker room as were interacting. Reporter neighbors say he sometimes slept in the park where the Congressional Team practiced. Ive seen him in the neighborhood just Walking Around the neighborhood and sleeping on a bench in the park. Reporter others who came in contact with him say he didnt seem dangerous, though some say he was odd. Hes always been a little strange every time he comes in. One of those things where you cant quite put your finger on it. Reporter he came here from belleville, illinois, a st. Louis suburb, where he was a home inspector. Just before he left for washington in late march, he was target practicing in the woods. I said, im going to call the sheriff. Its like a cannon hes shooting out there. Reporter on social media he expressed bitter opposition to republicans and President Trump, writing on facebook, trump has destroyed our democracy. Its time to destroy trump and company. During the nationwide occupy wall street demonstrations in 2011, he talked to the st. Louis fox affiliate. 99 are getting pushed around. And the 1 are just not giving a damn. Reporter and last year Illinois Democrats say he volunteered for the Bernie Sanders campaign. The fbis asking now for tips from anybody who talked to him recently as investigators seek answers to why he came to washington in the first place. And why after being here nearly three months he suddenly turned so violent. Back to you all. Pete williams in washington, thanks. Of course, a lot of washington is on edge and on high alert after this shooting. Just about everybodys crediting the security detail assigned to the House Majority whip Steve Scalise for preventing a bigger tragedy. Numbers nbcs kasie hunt is on capitol hill with more on that part of the story. Hi, kasie, good morning. Reporter savannah, good morning. Many of the lawmakers we have spoken to said they typically have felt safe here at work in washington, d. C. But after yesterdays terrifying incident, they say thats all changed. A gunman opening fire in broad daylight on the republican congressional baseball team. Hitting majority whip Steve Scalise and three others. Scalises security detail helped take down the gunman, preventing what could have been a massacre. If scalise wasnt there, we would have had real trouble. This guy had an ar15 or something. And he was ready to go. Reporter only the top leaders in congress get fulltime security protection. Typically rank and file members dont. I never thought i would come to a baseball practice for a game for charity, local d. C. Charities and have to dodge bullets. Reporter members of congress have typically felt safe inside the beltway. But wednesdays incident has some now thinking its a false sense of security. I will tell you, somebody with a carry permit that ive had for 30 years, i think for my own safety and others im going to go back to probably carrying a lot more than i did when appropriate. Reporter others are calling for a change in clearance current security measures. We just need to wake up and have standard protocols in place. Reporter members of congress have been targets before. In 2011 congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot as she met constituents at a supermarket. Giffords tweeting wednesday, im heartbroken and saying, quote, i know the courage it takes to recover from a shooting like this. Now Congress Members receiving threats like this voice mail are the norm. Almost every week that ive been a member of congress ive received some kind of threatening message. Reporter the latest threat . After the shooting she received an email that said, quote, one down, 216 to go. To me thats a little scary. Reporter others like senator Claire Mccaskill say they feel safe on and off the hill. I hope we dont go too far because that would be a mistake in a country where we really cherish our freedom. Reporter both sides of the aisle wondering how to balance their freedom with security. In the aftermath of yesterday afternoon, the republican manager of the team joe barton stood next to his democratic counterpart and made a point that is sometimes lost in this harsh political environment that were living in. He said, members of congress are often no longer looked at as people, but they feel these threats as personally as anybody would. Its a good lesson for everyone right now. Matt, savannah. You think about congressman bartons two little boys being right there. Kasie, thank you very much. Let us get a check of the weather now from al whos in florida. Al, good morning again.

Ron mott is outside of the hospital where he is being treated in a hospital. Ron . Yes, the father of ott toe warmbier wrapped up a News Conference in front of the high school. And he says that the family has a long road ahead after a 17month imprisonment. Reporter this morning ott toe warmbiers parents are speaking out. I am proud of ott tow and the count that he showed going to north korea. Reporter and the comments coming after fox news told him that the son is not in great shape, and adjusting to a new reality after spending a year in a coma. They lure americans and take them hostage and do things to them. That is what has happened to my son. He was taken hostage at the airport as he was trying to leave the country. And then he was put through the trial, as we have seen, and he performed amazingly well, and here we are today. Reporter it is hours after ott tow warmbier was carried off of a plane in cincinnati. They said that he wu relouised on humanitarian grounds.

He has had two procedures and he will have to undergo several operations according to the hospital. Meanwhile, we are learning a lot more about the 66yearold shooter and what may have fueled the rampage, and we are also learning more about the officers whose actions on this baseball field yesterday likely saved many lives. Reporter overnight, President Trump visiting the Washington Hospital where congressman Steve Scalise remains in Critical Condition.

Hodgkinson had brieflile volunteered on Bernie Sanders campaign. Senator sanders denounced the action. I denounce this in strongest possible terms. Reporter on capitol hill, shock and emotion and rare display of the bipartisan unity by the congressional leaders. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.

President trump, we are told had tried to plan to attend and perhaps throw out the first pitch, but secret service telling him that they wont get the necessary security precautions in place in time, savannah. Thank you, craig melvin. President trump is pushing back on the report that he is under investigation for possible obstruction of justice. Our chief White House Correspondent al Hallie Jackson has more on that. Good morning, matt, and this morning after what could be one of the biggest developments in the administration so far, President Trump is lashing out on the reports that he is being investigated for the possible obstruction of justice in a series of tweets, and most recently writing this, you are witnessing the single greatest witch hunt in political history led by very bad and conflicted people. This is coming after the Washington Post is looking into bob mueller looking into whether he did obstruct justice. He is going to interview dan coats the head of the National Intelligence and mike rogerers, the head of the nsa. And the in a phone call to rogers the president questioned whether russia had really interfered with the election and tried to force mr. Rogers to say there was no evidence of collusion between his campaign and moscow. And inspector mueller entered this phase after the president fired james comey last month. The legal team is not issuing a denial, but the fbi leak of information regarding the president is inexcusable and illegal. And other than the news the to apparently include the president , it is not going anywhere any time soon. Matt. All right. Hallie, thank you very much. The police have the lead in two escaped Prison Inmates accused of killing two Police Officers. They say they have found the green honda that was stolen and hauled away to be examined for clues. They escaped after being transported in a prison bus. After ditching the car, it is believed they were in a stolen white pickup. We will keep our eye on that. And mr. Carson, you have some more fun .

Thats all im saying. All right, its wedding season, right . June, full swing. Lets bring it to how it all starts. Popping the question. How to pop the question, carson . One knee . Just ask. Wait ten years and ask. Pop the question . Same thing, waited seven years, yep. Mine was in a carriage in central park. It didnt end well but it started off awesomely. All right. Trending in the wall street journal. What did you do . Its not important. The headline, do you still need the parents blessing before you propose marriage . Times are changing but should that tradition hold . In other words, if the guy wants to marry veil in however many years, should he call you and mike to ask permission . Well, it is interesting because veil is not ever going to get married and live home with mom forever. But it is not necessary to ask permission but it is lovely to ask parents. I think it is sweet, it is nice, yeah. There will probably be an app in the future where you still get to be traditional and ask for the hand in marriage but do it via snapchat. Apple is, what, 13 . Yeah, 13. So when the guy wants to pop the question, does he need permission . 100 . Yeah . Okay, i like that. Gwyneth has a 14point questionnaire they also have to fill out. I think that its a really lovely tradition. Im Old Fashioned in that way, too. But i think, i mean, i dont think they are really asking, are they . But it is nice to bring the family in to make everyone feel included. Im with her in formality, but what happens if the guy says no . You mean the dad or mom . Yeah, the dad says, i dont want you to marry my daughter . That never happens. Thats a land mine. Do you do it anyway and start with that mark on your marriage . Im not going to ask what you would do. I think if youre asking, you know what answer youre going to get. We surveyed our viewers on twitter. Do you still need parents permission before proposing . 65 said yes. Yep. 35 said no. Right. So there you go, a lot of traditional people out there. A lot of parents.

The theresre is a party in subway with why lumiley cyrus a jimmy fallon. That was a fun daily click today. This is out of sunny san diego. Lets get right it to. This is 29yearold Jesse Orlando using his jet pack out there flying high over mission bay. When he saw a catamaran tip over nearby, orlando quickly lowers himself into the water and swam over to the catamaran. He grabbed it by the top of the sail, a little help from his jet pack, he tips it back upright along with the person on the raft. If that wasnt enough, orlandos work was far from done. He casually does an impressive backflip and nails that as well. Helps them that is incredible. Thats pretty amazing. Orlando is a jet pack instructor in the area and he was just out there having some fun in between lessons. Hes seen catamarans tip over but never been in a position to actually use the jet pack to help upright the vessel. That is crazy. What do you say, would you try it . Yes. Would you, matt . Not right this second. When i heal, yes. Ill do that. Well do it. Done and done. Its on the record. Its happening. Well just pop the popcorn. Al is in florida. Al, a check on the weather . Reporter hey, guys, thanks so much. Were in the east coast of florida getting ready to surprise a deserving dad with als Backyard Barbecue. But first, well see what we have looking ahead to the weekend. And for the day, we have wet weather in the Pacific Northwest. Strong storms firing up in the midwest. The east coast not too bad. Wet weather down through southern florida. Temperatures are going to be downright scorching through the southwest with 90s and 100s into texas. 90s in the southeast. Nice and comfortable finally back in the southeast. And this is in the northeast of new england. For today, severe storms down along the western gulf. Hot and humid in texas. Heavy rain moves into the Pacific Northwest. And severe storms in the central plai good morning, im carrie hall. We have some nice weather for San Francisco. In the forecast over the next few days well start out in the upper 60s today and mid 70s for the week. Feeling a little warmer but nothing compared to what were going to feel in the valleys. Up to 101 degrees by the end of the weekend. Our temperatures going up several degrees each day. And the heat doesnt back off through next week. In fact, it looks like we stay in the triple binge its, up to 103 next wednesday. Thats your latest weather. Coming up, our big surprise in the next half hour including celebrity barbecue chef, chris lily, guys. That sounds good, al. Look forward to that. Meanwhile let me tell you Gwyneth Paltrow is an oscar winning actress. For the past decade or so shes been focusing on building and growing her lifestyle brand. Good morning. Good to see you. Thank you. Good to see you. I realize i just said founder and ceo and i let the ceo slip like its always been thus. Thats kind of a new development. Yeah. I think in september or october my board made me ceo, very exciting. Does it change things at the water cooler. Do people treat you differently . You were already the big person on campus . It outlines and delineates other responsibilities. The dynamics havent changed. We had the pleasure of knowing you a long time. If i had gone to you when you were 20 and you were just starting out in acting and i said one day you will have an oscar on the mantle and the ceo of a lifestyle brand. What would you have said . I would have said you were crazy. I was lucky i had an incredible acting career and deep passion to produce content and make great products and curate things. It evolved slowly and had a longest stational period and now its a great business. I want to make sure. You said i had a great acting career. Are you moving away from acting . Do you still want to act or is this dominate doing much of your time . I will do a little bit but this requires almost all of my time. Im in the Office Everyday and i have a pretty big team now, we have 85 people and i need to be at work. I was looking at the way you are expanding the brand and not trying to make a big commercial here. Youre going into goop wellness and you have supplements. One item caught my eye. One is why am i so fing tired, ones called balls in the air and ones called High School Genes, looking at me, which of those would you leave in my dressing room after the interview . Maybe balls in the air. Now, you have to explain. Yeah, gwyneth it could have been worse. So, basically this product came out of an article we did a few years ago about confusion in the vitamin aisle because everybodys like i know i should take vitamins but i dont know which ones to take and which ones are high quality. We worked with four m. D. S we love and the best best raw ingredients and we wanted to put context in it and eliminate confusion. There are four different protocols. I take the one why am i so fing tired and the High School Genes is also get back in your High School Genes for flagging metabolism. Balls in the air would refer to people juggling a lot at the same time, i hope . Correct. Thats good. I feel better about that. This brand, i thought, and we talked about this before. When you came up with this brand and put it out there and put yourself out there, there were critics, as there always are, read my twitter feed. How has the brand goop impacted this brand paltrow . Thats a good question. Were kind of intrinsically linked. Im also the face of the brand in a lot of ways although i always look for ways to build the brand without my image. We have an Incredible Group of people all are building the brand. Im not really sure. Im so focused on building the business and im sort of less focused on the kind of Gwyneth Paltrow part. Help me out. What is harder . Running your own company or raising a teenage daughter and a preteen son . We share this, by the way. I have a daughter the same age as apple. So far, apple is pretty great. Shes not sometimes she asks me to like close her door. Can you close my door. I said, like, wait, with me on the other side of the door . Other than that, its pretty smooth so far. Do you think its harder for girls to be 13 years old today than it was when you were 13 . I think being a 13yearold girl sucks no matter what century, no matter what time frame its just as hard. What was it like for you . It was brutal. That was a really hard year for me. I was really like trying to grow into this awkward gawky body which i think i half grew into, and, you know, i had braces and i decided it would be a great idea to shave the back of my head. How did that work out . Not that well, matt. Not that well. I think its a time in ones life youre trying on different personas and trying to see what kind of a person youre going to be. I think its also painful. Its awkward for kids and parents as well. Gwyneth, always nice to see you. Nice to see you, too. Thanks for having me. By the way, you will stick around and cohost our 9 00 hour with jessica alba and will i am. Savannah. Thank you. We have another talented actress right here, olivia wilde taking on broadway. It is your debut . Yes. And your kids. You have two now, too . Yes. We have much to discuss. After your local weather. We are live in oakland this morning for the big warriors parade. Closest were going to get to the trophy, sam. Yeah, i have a feeling the flat one dimensional version might be the only one that we get to touch. However, a lot of fans super excited. Talking to kids what are six, seven years old, theyre going to remember this moment with their parents. Were going to be here live at 9 30 this morning broadcasting the entire parade. This is the very beginning of it. Some of these people have been out here since 2 00, 3 00 in the morning. Theyve been traveling from na napa, liver moore, all over the place. Its going to come through this spot and were going to follow them all the way up. What about the traffic, mike . Looking over here towards the crash that has bogged down the east shore freeway. By the time the chopper got there, we have most of the lanes open but thats what blocked all lanes for a period of time. Well show you how things are shaping up. Were seeing a backup head away from the bay blridge where 580 and westbound i80 show up. All this traffic because of all the activity where sam and laura are. The rest moves well. Were back now, 8 30 on a thursday morning, its the 15th day of june, 2017. Great crowd on Rockefeller Plaza on a beautiful day. Pictureperfect. By the way, if all of these nice people stick around for 24 hours, theyre going to be treated to a great summer concert from the one and only shania twain. Shanias here tomorrow. Shes out with her first album in 15 years. Her new single hits tomorrow. As carson would say, drops tomorrow. Drops, baby. Do you all want to meet some cool people on the plaza .

We have our style squad here with great gift ideas for every dad, whether you want to go the sentimental route or give them something to toast with. Carson going, hint, hint. Al is about to surprise another dad. Well get to that, but first hes got a check of the weather. Reporter all right, guys. Its a nice day down here on our location on the eastern coast of florida. But as we take a look at your weekend, heres how were shaping up. Starting with tomorrow, your weekend outlook. Heat builds in the southwest, hot and humid in texas. Strong storms in the Mississippi River valley. Wet weather in the Pacific Northwest and showers along the eastern seaboard, which will continue tomorrow on saturday. Record highs in texas and the southern plains. Excessive heat in the southwest. Severe storms in the midMississippi River valley. And fathers day, were looking warm and muggy weather along the east coast. Excessive heat out west and showers and thunderstorms around good morning, im meteorologist kari hall. Today a little warmer than yesterday, reaching into the upper 80s for the south bay. Cooper tina will see a high of 85, 81 in heyward. Walnut creek 91 degrees today. Mid 60s along the coast right on the other side of the hill, belmont, up to 85 degrees. In San Francisco well see a high of 70 degrees there but 90 in napa and santa rosa today expect a high of 89 degrees. And thats your latest weather. Savannah . Al, thank you so much. To say that olivia wilde is a busy woman is an understatement. The actress, activist and producer is a mom to two Young Children and is now adding broadway star to her lengthy resume. In her latest role, shes bringing big brother to the big stage. In the ad andation of George Orwells novel, 1984. Olivia, good morning to you. Thank you for having me. Your broadway debut, just chose something light and frothy. 1984, this is heavy stuff. It is heavy stuff, but heavy times call for heavy stuff. Now, 1984 is the book everyone read in high school or said they read in high school. Its the number one book people lie about having read. I know. I actually was thinking, like, did i read it or just pretend i read it . Cliffs notes did well in 1984. This is not just staging, we were talking about it in the commercial. It is intense. In what way . It involves multimedia where youre shooting video simulcast onto the stage. Cameras and back to the stage. Theres a lot of light and sound work really immersivmmersive. And it is a different experience. Its not like watching a play, its like going on a really scary ride. Scary and it can get physical. Talk about this. Four members of the audience have actually passed out. Yes. You busted your own lip during a performance. Yeah. And you broke your costars nose. I did. But it was in retaliation because he broke my cosyx, which i didnt know we had. Why are you breaking bones on this production. We are doing everything necessary to tell the story right. And it is an intense story. So we are throwing ourselves in. Its worth it. You play julia for those who dont know or didnt read it. The story is about an oppressive state, kind of, trying to police our thoughts. Exactly. Dystopia totalitarian state with surry va say lance and people are loyal to the party and bad things can happen to you. Julia may or may not be a spy. And theres a love story that ensues and it is very intense. It sounds like it. So youve got to go home, you work late nights and then your kids who are 3 and 1, im sure they just let you sleep in. Oh, they love to sleep in and make me brunch. No. They like to get up around 6 30. And its is that the new one, daisy and otis . Shes 8 months and hes 3. And they are amazing. Its great to be living my dream. Broadway was something i always wanted to do but never felt like i could call myself an actor until i had done it. And now i feel like im earning my keep and get to come home to those little amazing people. Jason, your fiance, just did a play himself. Did he give you any advice, kind of . He did. He told me to be patient with the process. Im a perfectionist and typically with a film you put something out that you know is right and ready. With a play, you go through this preview process where you put something out that is still kind of figuring itself out. And its its really a vulnerable and amazing and humbling process. Youre working out the kink in front of everybody, yeah. In front of people. But the audiences know that and love to be a part of the process. We have had a lot of people come at the beginning of previews and want to come back after opening. This is a show people want to see a bunch of different times because you pick up different stuff from the storyline. So it is fun to have the repeat audience members. And we always say when youre here that you and i are on the same page and schedule. You have a baby, i have a baby. You have a baby, i have a baby. Just so you know, im done. Im done, too. Were done. Its a wrap. Its a wrap. Your boy is the oldest, is he adjusted to the little one . No. Does he try to throw her out or anything . He absolutely wants her out. I think he secretly really loves her. But hes making her really tough by giving her a hard time at the moment. But its making her a very tough patient little woman. Yeah. Its good. Siblings are the best.

Up next, als got another big barbecue surprise for a deserving dad. But first, this is today on nbc. Were back with our series Backyard Barbecue with al. Hes been surprising dads fathers day and today we find mr. Al in palm coast, florida. Hes about to street someone to a fantastic barbecue. Al, take it away. Reporter okay, guys. Well, you know, this guy, melvin bradley, i have a lot in common with. Youll see why in just a moment. Hes a former fedex employee and he thinks were doing commercials about retired fedex workers. Well, guess what . Were about to give him the surprise of his life. My fathers name is melvin bradley. Hes 64 years old. And retired. You know, he started working when he was 16 years old. He graduated from high school and went straight into the military. He was a meteorologist in the air force. And thats what i remember the most is, like, my dad always did weather. He lived in germany for four years and it was just me and him. And that was probably some of the most precious time that ive ever had in my entire life. We hung out and, you know, he had to learn how to do a girls hair. And deal with girl drama. They expect their package to be delivered. He worked for fedex for 20 years doing meteorologist again. The cool story about fedex is there were no meteorology jobs open. So he started working in the hub in memphis like you see on tv, late nights, you know, moving packages. And he moved up from, you know, working meteorology to being a manager before he retired. There was an opportunity to work for a local memphis station doing the morning weather cutins. Well, were starting off this morning with pretty mild temperatures. It was so neat to, like, wake up and see my dad on tv giving the weather for all of memphis. My dad and my stepmom got married september 1st, 2001. I can honestly say when he met her, his entire life changed. I have never seen two people that, while they met later in life, its as if they have known each other since they were kids. So we have five kids and 11 total grandkids from 6 to 21. He absolutely loves all of his grandkids. And would do anything in the world for them. Everywhere hes gone, hes had a grill. And its really neat to see him pass that down to my son who now enjoys grilling and wants to learn to grill like his grandfather. Ive never experienced a love like i have for my dad. You mean the world to all of us. And i hope you enjoy this fathers day. Reporter all righty. Well, we are pulling up right now in a fedex truck to melvin bradleys house. I dont think he knows exactly i can see him there standing with his family, his grandchildren, his wife, his daughter. And i think were going to surprise him. All right. Melvin bradley, how are you . Im good. How are you . I have a fedex surprise for you. I dont believe it. I dont believe it. Surprise, surprise. You are live on the today show right now. Am i on the today show . You are. You can blame this young lady. You did this, didnt you . You thought we were about to do a commercial for fedex employees. I see you have your hat on. Well, first of all, i wanted to meet you because i finally can meet somebody that knows how to do the weather. But not only that, but this young man behind you, do you know who this is . No idea. This is chris lily, World Champion barbecue mavin. Is that right . Thats right. And he, you and i are going to do a cooking segment grilling your world famous ribs live on the today show. That will work. Are you surprised . No, im not. Im in weather, youre never surprised. Well, what makes him such a great dad . Hes just been so loving and just so caring. And hes giving great advice and just an amazing grandfather. Melvin bradley, happy fathers day a little early. Well be grilling with you. Weve got more from palm coast, florida, and the rest of the today show coming up. But first, this is today on nbc. All right. Welcome back, everyone. We talked to green. Nwyneth paltd now shes joined by jessica they are here to cohost our next hour. Theyre very excited to hear that. All four of you. They will tell us about apples first original series.

I feel like gary is really good at it. Gary is succinct. Thank you, guys. I think its a show where were looking at the realty of this new ecosystem that dominates our society, apps are culture and were looking at people pitching to us, were mentoring getting them prepared and pitching to a vc like and escalator. They have to say it fast . And they compete to join all our teams. We each have a team and compete for them to join our team. We mentor them a couple of months. They go in front of one of the top vcs in the world to get funding. Theyre going in front of you to pitch their ideas. We see them in all our offices because we mentor them while were at work so they can see the type of people how we operate our businesses. A cool concept. Its a raw app at first and we add our two, three, four or five cents. Sounds like the pitch of silicon valley. You will learn much more about this when these guy happening now. Good morning. Happening now, were live at the warriors parade. The setup is under way and the crowd is certainly here this morning. The weather is cooperating. Security here, everything feels pretty safe. Yeah, i noticed you were getting buddybuddy with some of the officers. Theyre watching out for us at the victory parade here. Within the last 20 or 30 minutes the crowd size here has really started to swell. People were up from very early hours. 2 00, 3 00 in the morning traveling in. Weve talked to a lot of people behind us. The sidewalks here were pretty clear but now they are starting to back up with a lot of people packed bike sardines, ready to celebrate our warriors. Its going to be a generational experience for so many families. Im seeing moms and daughters and fathers and sons. Little babies. Are you a politician . Kissing babies and shaking hands for a little while before but thats all part of the experience. Its going to be absolutely incredible. Thats right. Sam and i will will be here live. 9 30 is when it all gets under way. Stay with nbc bay area for the very latest. Were also facebooking the works. We hope you to see at 9 30 this morning.

To that end, the faithbased initiative offers this morning on todays take, will. I. Am, Gwyneth Paltrow are our celebrity cohosts. And then our summer dos and donts. And were throwing a fullon Animal House Party coming up now. From nbc news, this is todays take live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. It is 9 00 on the dot here on the east coast. Welcome to today on this thursday morning, june 15, 2017. We hear the music and are listening to ive got a feeling by the black eyed peas. Can we turn that up . All right. You are going to love our show today because frankly, this is just not a normal morning. These are our cohosts. Not exactly. I love jenna, but this is not quite the same. What do you mean . Im not enough for you. We have to bring in four other people. We just turned up the volume. Well introduce everybody. We have actress and cofounder of the honest company, jessica alba. Yes we have founder and ceo of i am plus, will. I. Am. We have academyAward Winning actress and founder on goop, Gwyneth Paltrow. And entrepreneur and cofounder of digital agency, gary vaner. You go by gary v. Vaner is tricky. We should get your name in there. We should explain really quickly, they are all advisers on the new apple music show. Youre going to love it called planet of the apps. This is a really fun new show where they all are advisers to different people. Its the first original series produced by apple. And the First Episode debuted on apple music june 6. Tell us a little bit about this, how did you all get involved . Jessica . How did we all get involved . Well, it was wills idea, really. Yeah. A year and a half ago, Ben Silverman and howard owens approached me about the show. And they come from they come from tv. They are, like, big tv guys. I told them, hey, why dont we go to apple and pitch it to apple. So i flew up to apple to pitch them the idea. Then everyone started throwing around ideas and never thought Gwyneth Paltrow, jessica alba and gary v. Would be here. We know about the elevator pitch. But in this show, the contestants ride down the escalator pitching their ideas. It is kind of genius. Thats a ben and howard thing. The Production Team jumped in to figure that out. When you have a limited amount of time, a lot of people dont realize a lot of the pitches, they may be scheduled for 30 minutes. By the time the meeting starts, the reality is you have a couple minutes to convince someone to change your life in real life. And we replicate that with the escalator. How does it work . They come down the escalator and give them your pitch. Then do you choose if you like it and they become on your team, youre a mentor . We have to pitch against each other. Then we all compete if we all want the same person to join our team. And we try to convince them to join our team. So does it get competitive . Oh, sometimes. Look at her face. A little bit. Jessica is like the most incredible, smart, like winner. So when we started her pitch, we are all like, okay, nevermind. So this is for people at home, to give you a good idea, well check out one app developer lauren who worked with you, right, gwyneth . Yeah. Lets take a look. Lauren, as a team we would love to work with you. We want to show you that we have real conviction in your idea. So with that in mind, we would like to give you an offer today, 5 million on a 16 million evaluation. What . Wait. Were talk millions of dollars . Yes. That was i woke up this morning i woke up yesterday morning and watched the show, because thats my first time seeing the episode. And when we filmed the show, i dont know what happened when gwyneth went to pitch with her, you know, her app that shes representing. So that was my first time seeing that. And i got i jumped out of bed like i was so excited. Because i knew how stressful being backstage, see the developers, all the hard work, the discipline, the focus. So to see that go through, and that was an amazing win. Its really interesting. We all have the things we run, but its on you. This was an interesting thing because you get so emotionally vested into the humans. You go into this room. You have to really let them pitch. Like i was biting my tongue the whole time because its really got to be them. And then their lives change or they dont. I mean, thats just real. Its huge. This is not like, hey, now america knows about them. These are millions of dollars, they are trying to build companies. Thats a big deal. Really awesome. Well talk about that in the hour ahead. But i wanted you to explain it so they are like, okay, what are they doing . The new episode is available exclusively on apple music each tuesday. Yes. Thats cool. I have to tell you guys, i was asking earlier, i didnt realize this was possible. So you can go on apple to see a show. This is just well, its new, right . Its cutting edge. This is the first step. In every app, you can go into the app store, and it is actually available right there. So you get that instant gratification. Well talk more throughout the show, but now you have an idea what is going on. In honor of your new show planet of apps, by the way, we saw what you did, we like it. We created our own game, its called tech talk. Come on in. We always have a random game. Sometimes these go well and sometimes they dont. We got a fancy globe this morning. Do we open the globe . Okay. Oh, it opens. You explain the game. Youre going to i think i just broke the globe. We are going to take a tech question and answer it. Its not that difficult. Who wants to go first . Gwyneth . Sure. All right. You can grab one. Sure. Shall i say . You shall. What is the right age to give a kid a cell phone . Thats a good question. I have a 4yearold, shes too young. I just went through this. I have a 13yearold daughter and an 11yearold son. So she was 12. And he was 11. Thats good. Which is not technically fair. Is that late, 12 or 11 . If you were my mom, its 19, 20. Well, we were all i think thats a good age. Like 12. Yeah, i think 12. She fought hard. They kept getting moved back. Look at her face. Mom. Mom. 13, 14. Or 12 and 13. Not 19, 20. I got brothers and sisters, they cant have cell phones. They are like 19, 20. For real, right now. Its okay. Youre their brother and they cant have a cell phone, that doesnt sound right . It sure dont. Mom america knows. But the world is changing. I think 19 20 is right. What . Yes. Lets talk. Its 8 or 9 on the coasts. And its 11 or 12 in the middle. Thats what is happening. Okay, next. Guys, dont be mad at me. Thats what is happening. What app do you turn to if you have five minutes of spare time . For me its probably twitter. My main thing is i want to engage with people engaged with the content or things im up to. So i want to answer questions. So whether twitter or the comments within instagram.
