Without filing charges . And today exclusive, a candid interview with the captain. Derek jeter opens up for the First Time Since stepping away from the game he loves. I went from an old man in baseball to a young man in life. Jeters thoughts on his fans, his final game and his future today, wednesday, october 1st, 2014. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. Im matt lauer, alongside tamron hall while savannah is on maternity leave. Weve got natalie morales, and carson daly sitting in als seat this morning because hes traveling. Its a good one. Real warriors, by the way. He is in afghanistan at Bagram Air Base right now. And he is shining a light and taking on a project that is near and dear to his heart. Al, good morning to you. And who is your buddy . Good morning, guys. Jay leno, what are you doing here . Im going to be fighting this guy. This is manny. Ill be fighting him in about ten minutes. Loser stays here, winner gets to go home. Im going home the real reason is weve got a uso comedy tour. Jay leno, Iliza Shlesinger, Kevin Eubanks all doing a show here today for the uso here at the Bagram Air Force base. This guy, actually we saw him last time we saw him, he was getting killed by indiana jones. Oh, my. Well have more from Bagram Air Force base a little later. Leno is going down. No doubt about it. By the way, were all wearing pink for pink power, raising awareness for the fight against Breast Cancer. Joan lunden is back with us, along with a lot of survivors out on the plaza. Lets start with that top story, the first case of ebola diagnosed here in the United States. Ron mott is in dallas where the patient is being treated. Good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning to you. This unidentified man is a patient here at presbyterian hospital. Doctors say he is very ill. He is in isolation. A team of specialists to monitor the situation going forward. For a lot of americans, the fact that ebola came into this country undetected is very scary. Health Officials Say the unidentified patient is an adult who is in this country visiting family in texas and developed ebola symptoms after returning from liberia. Theyre confident the disease can be kept from spreading. There is no doubt in my mind we will stop it here. Reporter according to the cdc, the patient left liberia september 19th with no symptoms and arrived in the u. S. The following day. He first developed ebola symptoms the 24th but wasnt admitted until four days later. On tuesday, the test came back positive for ebola. Doctors believe the patient only came in contact with what they describe as a hand fful of peop after becoming contagious. We know there are several Family Members. There may have been one or two, or three other community members. Were there to do additional investigations. Dr. Content brantly, nancy writebold, dr. Rick sacra and one other have come into this country after contracting the disea disease. Three have recovered, the fourth is still under treatment. Theres increasing concern that ebola will find its way to the u. S. In larger numbers. Unlike africa, the u. S. Is a strong, integrated health care system. The specific flight path that this man took is unknown. We believe there was a layover over in europe before that flight landed here in dallas. Officials say they know of no other new ebola cases in this country at this time. Matt . Ron mott, thank you very much. Cdc director tom friedman is with us. Good morning to you. Good morning. You said there is no doubt in my mind we will stop it here and i think anybody hearing those words hopes youre right. How can you be so sure . How can you be sure that youve identified everyone that this patient came in contact with after he became symptomatic . We will stop ebola inity tracks in the u. S. First, make sure that the health care that he gets not only does everything we can for the patient but minimizes the risk that anyone else will become infected and, second, the tried and true Public Health measures of identifying everyone who might have come into contact with him, when he might have been infectious and monitoring them for 21 days. And if they do become ill, have symptoms, have fever, isolate them, track their contacts and stop it. How do you get your arms around that . He became symptomatic on the 24th of september. He wasnt admitted to a hospital for four days after that. I mean, if you said to me right now, matt, name all the people youve come in contact with in 24 hours, i would be hard pressed to identify all those people. How are you so sure you know everyone he came in contact with . Thats why we have a sevenperson team in dallas today, helping to review that with the family and make sure that we identify everyone who could have had contact with him. Because its not just talking with someone. It has to be physical contact. And thats one thing that reduces the circle of people that we have to identify and monitor. Weve stopped every Ebola Outbreak that has ever occurred in africa until this one. This one could have been stopped had we gotten in there earlier. Yesterday we published information on how cdc and the Nigerian Government and the government of lagos stopped a cluster in lagos, a city which is much more difficult to deal with than any place here. Can you tell me right now how many people do you have under observation as a precaution connected directly to this case . Right now its a handful. The team on the ground will review that very intensively to see if theres any other groups who, out of an abundance of caution, we would want to monitor. You and i have talked about ebola on a number of occasions. Theres been so much about it on the headlines and something alarming here this patient goes to an emergency room with symptoms. He is turned away. It wasnt until two days later when he arrived in an ambulance that he was admitted. With all the talk of ebola and with the fact that this guy had flown to this country from liberia, how did that happen . Thats something well be looking at with the hospital and with others. One of the things we emphasize for any Health Worker in this country is if you have someone who has been in west africa in the past 21 days and they have a fever or other symptoms that might be consistent with ebola, immediately isolate them. Get them tested. Weve already identified 100 people who have that level of concern. Weve tested 14 of them. This was the first person to test positive. I know you have a lot on your pla plate. I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me. Thank you very much. You think about this guy being on a plane over to the United States. Yet they dont think he was sympt symptomatic at that time. They dont think theres a risk that he spread the disease to others on that plane. They want to assure people but yet naturally you will have questions. Absolutely. The secret service, armed contractor allowed to ride an elevator with the president. Nbcs Kristen Welker has more. Good morning. Reporter tamron, good morning. The alleged fence jumper makes another Court Appearance today as we hear another embarrassing headline that you mentioned, another security lapse during the president s visit to atlanta. When president obama visited the centers for Disease Control in atlanta on september 16th, a secret Service Official confirms that agents allowed an armed contractor with a criminal history in an elevator with president obama, a violation of agency procedure. Im kind of surprised, shocked and very disappointed. Reporter its adding to the mounting concerns in the wake of this fence jumping intruder, who made it deep inside the white house, armed with a knife. On capitol hill tuesday, Julia Pearson acknowledged the failure. I take full responsibility and i will make sure that it does not happen again. Reporter one of the pressing questions, why werent dogs released or shots fired . Dont let them get in the white house, ever f they have to take action that is lethal, i will have their back. Reporter why did the agency initially suggest suspect Omar Gonzalez was tackled almost immediately inside the doors when he actually made it much farther . Were you lying to the American People or were you misled by your own agents about where the suspect was tackled . The secret service is conducting an ongoing investigation. Reporter pearson was also pressed on another situation. Tempers flared with lawmakers accusing her of being evase zblif. I want a short answer. I wish to god you protected the white house the way youre protecting your reputation here today. Reporter there is broad agreement change is needed. Somebody has to go in, scrub it hard and find out if theres a cultural problem, a management problem. Either way, it needs to be corrected and it needs to be corrected sooner rather than later. Reporter the white house says it has confidence in the agency. Meanwhile lawmakers are calling for an independent review. Gonzalez was indicted tuesday. He will face a judge on charges unlawfully entering a restricted area with a dangerous weapon. One of the agents who tackled him was off duty and headed home at the time. The secret service says theyre investigating all of these incidents. A story developing out of california right now. The mayorative small Los Angeles Suburb shot dead by his own wife during a domestic dispute. Nbcs Miguel Almaguer has the latest on that investigation. Miguel, good morning to you. Matt, good morning. The mayor of bell gardens was, indeed, fatally shot by his wife. After she was interviewed for several hours overnight, this morning she has not been arrested and no charges have been filed. The shooting took place inside the mayors home. Detectives say 45yearold Daniel Crespo was gunned down by his wife after an argument in their master bedroom. Their 19yearold son, daniel jr. , tried to intervene. And we do know that the father, daniel sr. Became physical with the son. Shortly after, the wife got firearm and shot the mayor multiple times. Reporter with at least three shots fired, crespo was pronounced dead. Lyvette, his high school sweetheart, was taken into custody but then released. The mayors brother in disbelief. Why did she kill my brother . Why cant she talk, let me know something . Reporter l. A. County probation officer for 15 years, crespo was elected to the city council in 2001 and became mayor of bell gardens last year. His family, a fixture in this small, tightknit community. Im actually really shocked that it happened. I really cant believe that. And right in front of my house. Reporter a shooting that claimed the mayors life and, for now, has left his wife free of any charges. Prosecutors are still reviewing this case. Charges could still come down the road. Investigators have not released any details about what the couple may have been arguing about leading up to the fight. The mayors brother says the relationship was often strained by money problems. Miguel almaguer, thank you very much. Natalie is here with more on the u. S. Led fight against isis. Thats right. Good morning. So far, the results have been mixed and for the first time now, britain has joined the aerial bombing campaign. Richard engel has the latest. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, natalie. There were more air strikes against isis today. There have been a couple hundred so far, but the militants are still advancing toward baghdad. Baghdad is under attack again. Car bombs and mortars killed more than 30 in shiite neighborhoods today and more attacks could be coming. Nearly two months of u. S. Led air strikes in iraq have so far had mixed results. In the north where the u. S. Has strong allies with reliable kurdish forces, there has been some progress. The militants suffering setbacks. But the iraqi army, which this summer ran from isis, even where it outnumbered the militants 201 is still floundering. The British Military joined the air war tuesday, but isis continues to hold dozens of iraqi cities, towns and border crossings. Iraqi troops, unable to dislodge them. And the militants appear, once again, to have their sights on baghdad, squeezing the city from three sides. Its unlikely the militants could capture all of baghdad without a major fight. But isis could try to grab a neighborhood or two to show the world they havent been weakened by the u. S. Led war. Activists tell us that isis is actually growing in numbers as other Groups Joined the militants to protest american air strikes. Natalie . Richard engel in turkey for us. Thank you, richard.

Id just felt this way for too long. So i finally talked to my doctor about my symptoms. Id tried laxatives before. He prescribed Amitiza Lubiprostone for my chronic constipation. It works differently than laxatives. Man amitiza is clinically shown to help relieve common symptoms like bloating, abdominal discomfort, hard stools, and straining and help people with chronic constipation go more often. Dont take amitiza, if you have a bowel blockage or severe diarrhea. Tell your doctor, if your nausea or diarrhea, becomes severe, or if you experience chest tightness or shortness of breath. The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Woman amitiza helped me find relief from my chronic constipation. Ask your doctor if amitiza is right for you.

Its also the first day of october, 2014. It is the start of Breast CancerAwareness Month. Were taking part with pink power here in the studio. Out on the plaza, a Remarkable Group of survivors out there and their Family Members as we kick off our pink power series. Well hear more from them and joan lunden coming up a little later.

Get to the chopper get to the chopper. Theres a bomb in the trees, get to the chopper this is going to go really weird, no question. Health officials are trying to ease the public concerns after announcing a patient in dallas, texas does, in fact, have ebola. This is the first case diagnosed in the u. S. The man originally flew from liberia to dallas but had no symptoms at the time. He is now in isolation, receiving treatment. The secret service is investigating another embarrassing incident when president obama toured the cdc last month. He rode the elevator with an Armed Security contractor who has a criminal record and a violation of protocol. The agency says technically, the man was doing his job but he should not have been so close to the president. And an investigation is under way in the shooting death of a california mayor. Daniel crespo was shot and killed business his wife during an argument. She was questioned overnight but then released. An app that has a lot of people talking. Its creator thinks it can be a tool to fight against sexual assaults but others are not so sure. Hallie jackson has more. Reporter sexual partners slow down and check in with each other before things get too hot and heavy. The founder of this app hopes to make that talk a little less awkward for the cell phone generation. Will it work . Depends who you ask. What, is everyone hooking up overnight . When consent on campus has become a hot button topic, now theres an app for that. When the time comes, app, good 2 go, directs them through a series of options, no, thanks. Yes, but we need to talk or im good to go. From there it goes on to how sober they are. If the answer is wasted theyre ultimately not good to go. I think it would be a real buzz kill for all parties involved. But pressing pause is partly the point. In a college culture, shown in movie Like Neighbors and asocial network where actions speak louder than word. I want to have drinks tonight. Wow leann aulman created this app along with her College Student kids to help explain what affirmative consent means. Its more than no means no. You have to get over being uncomfortable about these things and just talk about it. Reporter some wonder whether College Students will really use good 2 go. They can barely send a proper text message. For them to open an app and launch it, i dont think thats going to happen. Reporter even if it doesnt involve an app, the concept of affirmative consent raises awareness at college where one in five women report being sexually assaulted. If she doesnt consent or she cant consent its a crime. Supporters say yes means yes isnt a buzz kill. Just the opposite. The word yes is a really sexy word to hear during a sexual encounter. So whats better than asking your partner, how are you doing and hearing them say, yes, yes, yes . Reporter whether it comes from swiping screens or a real live talk, campus leaders hope for a little less action without at least a little more conversation. There have been some privacy concerns about the app. Leann aulman says other users cannot see the information you put in. By the way, even though adults may fumble through the different screens trying to swipe an answer, it only takes college kids about 60 seconds to make it through the app if they dont want to just talk about it. Hallie jackson, thank you, hallie. Al is at Bagram Air Base in afghanistan, hanging out with the men and women of the military. Al . Along with jay leno. Hey, i know, guys.

I hesitated when i heard al roker. I said yes anyway. Its al roker. All right, yes. We have Craig Robinson, iliza shlesin gechlt shlesinger. Shes really funny the last comic standing. Yeah.

Back now at 7 43. It was a fitting end to a storied career for yankee captain derek jeter. Gamewinning hit in his final atbat at Yankee Stadium followed by a very classy tribute from the arch rival boston red sox. We stat down with derek on tuesday, his first interview since retiring, to reflect and look forward. Why dont we start with the obvious and say congratulations. Thank you. How does it feel . It feels good. I dont know if it will necessarily hit me until, you know, when i would normally start working out for the next season. No, no, i mean now that clooney is married youre the most eligible bachelor on the planet. What are you talking about . Dont you get a crown or something . No, i try to stay away from that. When we sat down with derek jeter, it had been less than 48 hours since taking the final bow of his legendary 20year career with the new york yankees and as one of the best and most respected players in baseball. Could you have ever imagined at the height of the yankees success 10, 12 years ago when youre winning all the championships that the last day of your career in baseball would include a standing ovation at fenway park . No. No, no, no, no. I could not. No, no, no. I mean, ive had them stand and say some things, but it was never an ovation. Lets talk about the last day at Yankee Stadium. Derek jeter ends his final game with a walkoff single after you drove in the winning run on the walkoff, you took a bow. The part that got me, that i broke up over was you walked back out to shortstop. And you kneeled down out there and afterward that you wanted to take something away from Yankee Stadium, that you wanted the view from shortstop. Close your eyes and tell me about the view. Man. 50,000 people. I feel as if ive never been an actor on broadway but it feels like youre on a stage when you play at Yankee Stadium. Thats the feeling ive always had. To have everyone there, standing up and cheering for you and saying thank you, just never wanted to play another game out there. Did you soak it up enough, derek, that youll remember it forever . I hope so. If not, someone captured it. With their cell phone . With their cell phones, yeah. They recorded it. But, you know, i have mental pictures that are enough for me. 99 of athletes, they retire and most people dont even know it until they go see the team the next year and realize that guys not here anymore. Or they go out with some kind of indignity. You managed, throughout 20 years, to escape any of that, which is almost unprecedented. Ive been lucky, i guess. Why have you been lucky . Why hasnt it been hard work on your part . Well, it has been. I mean, i always have tried to treat people with respect, the way i want to be treated. Ive always been very cautious with what i do. You know, that started at a young age. Ive always had the approach or the mentality that i never wanted to embarrass my parents. It sounds odd saying it now. Its powerful, though. 40 years old.

Hoda is outside with our very special correspondent joan lunden. Hoda . Oh, my gosh. We are in a sea of pink. Joan is a Breast Cancer survivor. Im a Breast Cancer survivor. We are surrounded by dozens and dozens of incredible survivors here with us on the plaza. We talked about how brave joan was to show herself bald on the cover of People Magazine. As joan will tell us in just a minute it wasnt such an easy decisio decision. I dont care what you say, yourself with no hair is just youre never prepared for it. As i understand it, 250,000 women in this country had Breast Cancer last year and a lot of them are going through chemo and theyre losing their hair and they might not say it, because, ill be honest with you, ive never really voiced this with my husband. But you feel less like a woman. You feel less feminine. You feel less beautiful. You feel kind of embarrassed. You feel kind of like the ugly duckling. You lose a part of a sense of yourself. Given all that, when People Magazine approached you. Oh. And said we would like to do the cover with you without a wig, what made you say yes . At first, i kept going back and forth and, i mean, i dont i have children who are 9 and 11 and were they going to be embarrassed . Were they going to have someone come up to them and say, gee, is your mommy dying . I kind of talked myself out of it. I need to be the lioness, the mommy first. And the closer i got, i said, wait a second. This is going to be out of character for joan lunden not to do this. Maybe i need to talk to my children. They came and got on the bed and said i have a decision to make and its a national magazine, which means everyone is going to see it and you guys havent even seen me with no hair. They havent seen me bald. How come . I dont run around the house that way, because i guess it says im afraid it will shock them or make them fear i dont want them to worry that im going to die, because im beating this. Right. It was just theatrical, what do you guys think . Should mommy do this picture without hair or should i have them do the one with the wig on, be safe and just talk about it . Right. My little max, 11 years old, hand shot right up. What did he say . Definitely do it without hair. I said really . Absolutely. You can make a difference and save lives, you have to do it that way. And kate, his twin, said, daddy did talk to us a little bit about this last night. He said it was the hero decision. I think you should make that decision. And, you know what . Were doing this. Were losing our hair in order to live and survive and be there for our families and our husbands and our kids. Thats a whole different ball of wax. That is right, joan yes. Yes. We should also point out there are a lot of people going through Breast Cancer, men as well as women, who are not losing their hair, but theyre still battling the war. Ive got to say, joan has a lot of fans, obviously, on this plaza. Absolutely. You are inspiring them. There are a lot of women you were talking to some women over here who said they dont have much hair but you said thats more than ive got. You were really encouraging them. Surgical oncologist and director of the Breast Care Center in michigan. Thank you for joining us. Good morning. I want to talk about resberch where you a research. You have Angelina Jolie having a double mastectomy. How would you Score Research at this point . The most important thing to say about Breast Cancer in 2014 is that we are continuing to see improvements in survival. It is still a potentially very dangerous disease, but thanks to these wonderful advances in Early Detection and in treatment, the majority of patients in the United States will have a favorable outcome, as evidenced by all these fabulous women here today. Screening, mammography after age 40 reduces Breast Cancer. Less disfiguring surgery, better medical treatments, we tailor, personalize therapy. I had the 3d mammogram several years in a row and it did not show anything. I walked out there, yea and then i walked across the hall, got my sbults heard you have Breast Cancer. Thats an extremely important message, joan. Mammograms, all the most advanced imaging, none of it is perfect. If a woman notices a change in her breast exam, danger signs as such as a new lump, bloody internshipple discharge, all of these are dangerous signs that should prompt medical attention. Your Mental Health is so important. I can tell all the ladies out here, you have to be strong. You have to have a strength inside you. Joan, what was it inside you that helped you fight on, beyond the doctors, beyond the chemo, beyond everything . As soon as you empower you start feeling empowered, then youre ready to fight the battle. You have to be in there, asking questions, like what were talking about. Women, you need to be asking the radiologist when you go for the mammogram, what kind of breast tissue do i have . Is it fatty breast tissue, which mammograms are great on, or is it dense fibrous tissue . You have to be your own best health advocate. For me i turned it completely around. I decided to learn as much as i could and share my journey because that was my natural instinct. Youre a journalist, sure. And share it with others. That completely changed my perspective. We have questions from many of the women who are here right now. Whos up first . Here is our lady up first. What is your name . Annie. What is why your question . What are your thoughts on genetic testing . Have your kids considered this . Im going to throw this to the doctor. I got the testing and i did not test positive for any of the brca genes. That was important for my daughters to know. Theoretically, they should begin at age 40, correct . Correct. It also had something to do with how they were going to further watch me, as to whether we had to be concerned with ovarian cancers and other things. What is your suggestion to women . Women that have a Strong Family history of Breast Cancer, ovarian cancer, male Breast Cancer should seek genetic counseling and potentially testing. Some families have Breast Cancer and melanoma clustering in the family. Triple negative Breast Cancer even in the absence of a Family History can be a red flag for inherited susceptibility. All of these features should prompt genetic testing and counseling. We have time for one more question. Im gin. What do you do to stay so positive . I help other people like this, then i get all of their love and support back. Staying positive is really important. Somebody wanted to know about telling your children. Yeah. For me, one of the most difficult parts of my Breast Cancer diagnosis was telling my two young sons and i was wondering, how did you tell your children . We were warned not to keep it a family secret. The mystery of the unknown is much more difficult. Its bad news but its better that it comes from mommy and daddy. And we do mommy updates constantly so they feel i love that. Great advice. Thank you. Staying in a good mood is important. Theres a song i know that this group is crazy about. What is the song called . Happy we have a soul train line. Dr. Newman, thank you. Joan, thank you. Well have many more Inspiring Stories tomorrow.

So nice to meet your mom. Blake shelton has a new album. Well have a performance from him. Up next, Neil Patrick Harris in his role of gone girl. And hes making little gestures, doing magic tricks. First this is today on nbc. Neil Patrick Harris has had a really big year, on screen and off. He plays in gone girl, desi, the exboyfriend of a woman that disappears and when she does, ben affleck wants some answers. Shes my first serious girlfriend. Why did you break up . Thats a strange question. Did you treat her bad . Thats a rude question. Amy told me she dumped you, you completely unraveled. You stalked her, threatened her and attempted suicide in her bed and were institutionalized. Your wife is missing and you came all this way to tell me this . I thought there might be another side to this story. Hey, neil, welcome back. Creepy. A lot of creepy things in this movie. Its a fantastic movie. Your character, desi, is mirror than a little creep. I well, yeah. You know, hes not hes introduced throughout the movie but you think hes just a suspect and you only really get to know him a little bit in the second half. Theres a lot of its a David Fincher film and a classic hitchcockian kind of way. I cant say much about what i do. Thats one of the problems of having you here. Ben was here a couple of days ago and i said theres a lot of unexpected twists and turns and perhaps none more so with your character. Agreed. So theres a lot that you can say. Which makes it, i think, a great movie. Its part whodunit thriller. A woman is missing. Youre not sure if shes dead, what her story s as you start feeling like you know whats happening, the movie keeps switching and turning it on its head. As i watched desi, i thought he reminded me on the creepy scale of the guy you played in a million ways to die in the west. Oh, wow. They tend to start coming to you more and more. Maybe. Im suddenly arch nemesis . I dont know. Ill take it. I like working with good people on good projects. It takes the curtains and throws it back on relationships. We always think we know what goes on. We see people in public and say we know what happens in their marriage and we dont. Sometimes you dont. I think the conceit of relationship when you first get together is youre putting on a bit of a guise, trying to show the best version of yourself. If you couple up and thats going well, suddenly you have to take that guise off through conflict or something bad that happens and then you have to look at each other again sbee if youre really meant to be together. And in gone girl, i dont think they ever got to that next step. They certainly missed that step. No question. You were here a while ago. Edwick and the angry inch. You won a tony award for best actor. I d congratulations. You wrapped how i met your mother. And you got married. Indeed. Its been quite an amazing year. You and david have been together, what, more than ten years . And weve been engaged for seven or eight of those ten. And it wasnt legal to get married in our state until recently. And now then we were working so much that it was really just finding the right time to do it. What i liked, as you were talking about it hey, look. Thats a nice shot. You got married in italy. You say youve been to a lot of weddings and watched People Exchange vows and say thats cute but when it happens to you, you stand up there, you get blubery . Vows are something you write yourself that you dont share anyone, the tenants with which you believe and are committing to for a longterm relationship for the rest of your life. And so to vocalize those is just intense. Its not pressure for the people watching. But i thought about weddings in general, it was like a lot of wonderful chaos, but it was mostly an amazing time for everyone that was there. While youre in the process, youre worried about weather and youre worried about someone not showing up on time and this hasnt arrived. So its hard to get out of the minutia. Congratulations. So many things happening wonderfully in your life and you are amazing in gone girl. I only wish i could tell people every little part. Theyre going to have to watch it and see. Go see it. Neil Patrick Harris, thank you so much. My pleasure. Neil is sticking around to answer your questions. You can use the orange room. Up next, Blake Shelton and the voice. First this is today on nbc. Theredelaware just like us. Fire companies in the state of something went wrong with the new Health Care Law that threatened to shut us all down, and then chris coons got involved. Chris did one heck of a job. He got senators in both parties to see that there was a problem. They fixed it, so now volunteer Fire Companies can stay in service. Most guys in washington just want to argue. But our chris coons got results. Im chris coons and i approve this message. Its not easy to get things done in washington, but im working hard to find common ground. Announcer the toyota Concert Series on today brought to you by toyota. Blake shelton pulls double duty as a coach on nbcs hit show the voice and one of the biggest voices in Country Music. Bringing back the sunshine. We recently caught up with blake. I started by asking him what that title means to him. Theres a track on the record called bringing back the sunshine but to me i wanted to name the album first of all, i hate naming albums. Why . I dont know. Who cares . I want it to be like Blake Shelton number two, number three, part four. All of that. Oh, my gosh. Anyway, to me, that kind of means im bringing back some of the more traditional sounding stuff. And as much as you can in Country Music these days and still try to blend in out there. Is there pressure to keep the traditional sound and, i guess, funk it up, especially since youre hanging out with the kids at the voice, agagwen stefanid pharrell joining the voice . No. I dont think theres pressure. Its kind of a blend of whats going on today with traditional. I know every single lyric. Do you really . In the neon lights will you sing it with us .

Ill find you a pink tie and go shopping for it tomorrow. You got a new tie. Pink and purple. Spread the love. Yes. Big news, though, people are talking about this morning. Cdc has confirmed the first case of ebola diagnosed in the United States being treated at Texas Health Presbyterian hospital in dallas. This patient was actually visiting family in texas from africa and developed ebola symptoms after he returned from liberia. He is critically ill, now in isolation. Friday he went to the hospital but was not admitted. Then came back in on sunday and that is when he was admitted to the hospital and then tested for ebola based on some of the symptoms he was showing. Health officials are trying to identify any people the man has come in contact with since he returned to the United States on september 20th. The cdc, though, says there is, quote, zero risk of transmission on the mans flight to the u. S. Because he wasnt showing any symptoms at the time. Didnt have any symptoms. Someone with ebola is not contagious until theyre feeling symptoms and, by the way, its also not contagious via the air. Earlier, matt spoke to cdc director dr. Thomas frieden and asking how theyre monitoring who hes come in contact with. If you said to me, matt, name all the people youve come in contact with in the 24 hours, i would be hard pressed to identify all those people. How are you so sure you know everyone he came in contact with . Thats why we have a sevenperson team in dallas today, helping to revow that with the family and make sure that we identify everyone who could have had contact with him. Because its not just talking with someone. It has to be physical contact. And thats one thing that reduces the circle of people that we have to identify and monitor. Weve stopped every Ebola Outbreak thats ever occurred in africa until this one. And this one could have been stopped if we had gotten in there earlier. Its transmitted via bodily fluid. Right. That includes sweat. If he shook somebodys hand and they have a break in their skin, which we all have, it could have been transmitted there. They did take his temperature before he boarded that flight as per now the requirements, especially traveling in that part of the world. A lot of concerns. Especially that 48hour period after he went home from the hospital. Right. And thats the concern you have. I mean, how many people he was exposed to, as matt asked that question. I dont think you can say with 100 certainty that you can talk to everybody or, you know, contain it to just that group of people. And the questions about symptoms, you know. I know and the doctors have gone back, looking at his calendar, looking at when he first spiked with the fever. But a lot of people are asking, is it unreasonable if you were on that flight or if you were sitting next to this person, if you should be notified . Maybe not put out an allalert, but should someone be told . What is the Public Interest here . Definitely. I definitely want to know. And when he initially did go into the hospital, he was sent home. Its proof that things are not foolproof. Mistakes can be made. You can over or underestimate something. So in this case, while the doctor says that weve been able to contain and control every Ebola Outbreak in africa up until this one, i think its fair to still ask questions and express concerns without being alarmists. And not being an alarmist, but we are coming up on cold and flu season and you Start Talking about symptoms of ebola starts off with fever. All very similar. Enterovirus 68 as well. You think about all the things that are out there now here in the u. S. And how we are so international. This is in my home state of texasment we were talking with the executive producer of the show, listen, when i was growing up in texas, people had this stereotype of what we were. J. R. Ewing. Wait, its not like that . Gosh, no. I dont live on south fork. People all over the world, we travel, interact. My mom is a substitute teacher and said every other kid was from africa in her class. Their families had moved to texas, great state to live. Nevertheless, we are more international, we interact all the time. The emergency workers, by the way, who treated this man, they are now being monitored as well. They came in contact with their Family Members. Theres a balance here. But theres still questions. Cdc is working hard to trace everybody he came in contact with im. Lets go to al at Bagram Airport, and will act as emcee for a great show tonight, featuring jay leno, Kevin Eubanks, Craig Robinson and Iliza Shlesinger. So good to see you out there. Weve had a wonderful time here at the Bagram Air Field. Theres so Many Missions that go on here that are actually weather critical. And behind me are members of the 19th expeditionary squadron under the command of major stacey coleman. Major, nice to see you. Great to see you, al. How important is weather here .

Earlier, we asked you to weigh in on your would you wednesday survey . I eat these potato chips, excuse me, would you Say Something to a loud eater . You, the viewers, have spoken. 6 2 say yes. Perfect stranger . You do it in a funny way. You just say Something Like you must want me to ask for some of those chips or those are good. Not to be a scold but like, wow, that sounds good.

Say something to the stranger if you dont like being chomped. I cant stop eating these, though. This is terrible. Lets go back to al in afghanistan for a look at the weather. Hey, al. Hey, guys, thank you so much. Our troops are stationed far and wide all across the world, including here in afghanistan. And to give us an idea of what they go through day in and day out, Bagram Air Force commander, Major General steven townsend. Thank you, sir, for being here. And, you know, i dont think people can appreciate i know i couldnt until i was here what life is like in a country like this, day in and day out. Well, afghanistan is a really rural country and pretty poor. Our soldiers live, you know, not as well here as they do in the United States. They live pretty good on bagram here except for the occasional rocket attack. We have soldiers out on the frontier that live in fairly rough, rugged conditions behind barbed wire. I think people forget how important the uso is to the mission here. Yeah. What does it mean to the soldiers, both the men and women, here on the base . It boils down to two things. First its like bringing a little piece of america here to afghanistan. The second thing is to kind of forget about the war for an hour or two and enjoy a uso show and all the other things that the uso does here. I think its absolutely critical for our armed forces. I think people tend to forget that this is going on here. Yeah. What do you want the folks back home to know about these men and women warriors we have here . First of all, i want them to know that our nation is still at war in afghanistan. And were doing the nation and the worlds bidding over here. Its important work. We dont forget that we were attacked on 9 11. Thats why we came here in the first place. The second thing is remember that americas sons and daughters over here in harms way, doing what the nation sent us to do. Major general steven townsend, thank you so much. Thanks, al. We appreciate what you do every day and what your troops do every good morning im bill henley. Lots of clouds and were watching for some breaks of sunshine and isolated showered. Dry tomorrow, partly sunny skies, a morning low of 58 degrees. Clouds will be increasing. 75 on friday, showers could increase on saturday morning, chillier with a healthy braze on sunday. Have a great day. Were about an hour away from our first today show uso comedy tour. If you want to help raise money for the uso go to crowdrise. Com roker. All donations gladly accepted. Back to you. Break a leg, al. Good luck. Well see you in a little bit. Now to the new film whiplash. One reviewer is calling it the movie that could make miles teller a star. A music student pushed to the limit by his instructor, getting a lot of critical acclaim. Miles plays a driven drummer whose audition for a brilliant teacher doesnt go exactly as planned. Double time swing. No, double time. Double it. Faster. Faster oopsie daisy. Forgot my jacket. Unbelievable. Miles teller, good morning. Thank you. Thanks for having me. So amazing. Im going to say you are a breakout star in this movie. You were fantastic. Thank you. Great that you actually knew how to play the drums. Yeah, it helps. The director, he had no idea that i played the drums when he cast me. So it was just really a nice set of coincidences, but j. K. Studied music in college and damien was a jazz drummer himself. It gives the film a nice authenticity. You and j. K. Going back and forth. It was so intense, these scenes. What was it like being in those moments where hes throwing chairs at you, smacking you in the face . J. K. s face was right next to mine the entire movie and hes an incredible actor. We didnt, you know, rehearse this movie at all. Really . It was one of these things where both our characters have very clear intentions on what they want to accomplish, become the greatest swr esest jazz stu drummer of all time and he wants to teach one of the greatest players of all time. It was pretty clear cut. Damien wrote a great script. Going to work with j. K. , who will surprise you every time and could easily go to comedy to drama makes for a fantastic, intense relationship in the movie. It absolutely does. You point out both characters are clear on where they want to go. They are focused in your life, like the rest of us, you had other career options. Including you wanted to be a sportscaster . Yeah. Originally i thought about it. I used to host the morning show at my high school. I love sports and watching sports center, where the guys were witty and funny and getting to talk about sport. All the things that you are. Yeah, exactly. Your words, not mine. I dont know. Favorite football team. The eagles. Go, birds. Good. But what years . I mean complete . I started mostly with mcnabb, ricky water. Nba. Laker fan. Hockey . Hockey, i used to be a bigger flyers fan when it was legion of doom but not as zblch soccer sh. Not so much. Team u. S. A. Team u. S. A. There you go. Ive run out of sports i know. And fightin phils for baseball. Im all philly except for the lakers. Do you get out and play in clubs, anything like that . Can you show us a Little Something . Could you play in a club today . I have a drum key at my house but its one of those things where i enjoy the most if somebody plays the guitar with it. If one of my buddies is coming over and plays, well grab a couple of beers, jam. But for us and the neighbors because it gets a little loud. Right. You cant play whenever you want. Youre a star now. Hey, ill give you an autograph. Ill knock on the door. Before the movie i wasnt a star but now im a big deal so im going to play a tenminute drum solo. Ill advise you not to do that, as your publicist. You must be tired of the whiplash song, though. Famous before but now im going to jam on this thing. Own it, miles. Own it. Deal with it. Exactly. Miles teller. Great to have you here. Hes famous, did you know, by the way . He looks behind him for the famous guy. Whiplash hits theaters october 10th.

Balloons, a lot of Breast Cancer survivors. Forbim the first day of brea Cancer Awareness month. We ended up taking one of those great selfies with that longarmed what do you call it .

Anyway, theyre by alex and annie, arms of strength bangle bracelets, 28, 20 of the proceeds go to the gloria jemma Breast Cancer foundation. Great. I havent seen this video. Its going to be interesting. Why dont you tell youre munching on the cookies. Why dont i take it over . Have you ever been out in public and caught somebody actually looking at your breasts instead of your eyes . I actually met a guy that way. I said excuse me, those are my breasts. My eyes are up here. He laughed about it because he was caught, not that i didnt blame them theyre quite the rack. Do you like when someone looks there . No you kind of do. Okay. A little. I dont, i dont. Some women put them out there and theyre begging you you cant take your eyes off them. In honor of Breast CancerAwareness Month. Which seems counterintuitive. Theyre saying since other people are taking a glance, you should take a glance at your own and check yourself. However, this is the story. A woman put a camera into her cleavage and walked around to see how many people were looking. Lets see what happened. Whoa. Okay. Shes doing check yourself. I got a floater so i couldnt see if they were looking anyway. I am going to the eye doctor. Thank you for checking on me. Michael phelps. What are we going to do about Michael Phelps. 22time olympic medalist, hes in trouble. In hot water this time. He was arrested for driving under the influence in baltimore yesterday, charged with dui, speeding and crossing double lanes. About 1 40 in the morning. This is the second one, second dui. And lets not forget the bong picture with the hookers in between the 10yearold dui. Thats true. The first one when he was 19. Now its ten years later. The question is when you are Michael Phelps age, he was going 84 in a 40mileanhour zone. He could have harmed somebody. He sure could have, and himself. The question is, this guy has a lot of eyes on him because he is a sports hero. He is to a lot of people. What do you think of all this . I think when he was 19 and all of this was new to him, we gave him not a pass but a boys will be boys which i would be newer yous with my son if it happened. Not that hes a perfect kid. But ten years after, and the statement sadly is very similar to the one he gave ten years ago. He says i understand the severity of my actions and take full responsibility. I know these words may not mean much right now, but im deeply sorry to everyone i have let down. The thing is, hes very, very successful guy. Makes a fortune in all these endorsements. He can afford a driver. He knows hes going to go partying, he can afford to call uber. Everybody does. Or a cab. A cab, anybody. I dont understand. Doesnt he know hes drunk . I sort of see it more when youre 19, 20, 21, but hes almost 30 years old. Ryan lochte, he told tmz sports i guess theyre close friends, right . I dont know. Are they buddies or competitors . Buddies. Im not concerned, this is what he says. He just makes dumb decisions. Hell become smarter from this. Luckily he didnt hurt himself or somebody else. Then you should be concerned. If he makes dumb decisions, its a reason to be concerned about your friend. Right. You never know. He got caught twice. Im not piling on. But you would imagine that there are many other times in between there where he didnt get caught and was driving. If you want to do that, do it, party all you want. Do it in your own house. Just dont endanger other people. Fall down the stairs if thats what youre going to do. Im saying, if youre going to do something. Its your choice, but not if you endanger other people. What if you endanger a puppy. This is so cute. Stop eating the cookies. I wasnt eating. By the way, one time i was on a plane and i was into a movie and i was chewing gum. And when i chew gum, i get involved. I go in and i feel it. A cow. A woman tapped me on the arm and said, i am sorry, will you please stop that. I felt terrible. Did you stop . Yes, i stopped immediately. I felt terrible. She shamed me. I still thought about it. Its seven years ago she did it. Do you know when you think about something. I know. But i feel terrible. You just said it now and i thought about it again. Im going to try to be better. You do the story. If youve ever had a puppy, you know what its like. You have to train it. Endless energy leads to problems. I guess the guys name is joseph foria, a tight end for the detroit lions, he was trying to potty train his 3monthold puppy rufio. He saw the dog starting to pea. He tried to chase the dog outside, missed the last two steps. Sprained the ankle. This is a picture he tweeted. Look at these pictures. This is the puppy saying please no death threats. Hes just a pup. He posted all these picks of the puppy on instagram and twitter. Rufio couldnt help it. You know when you pick them up as theyre peeing, you have to scoop them up. Then they pee through the whole. They say if you wait too long after, they dont remember. What do you suggest . Scoop them up and run like a football out of the house. So the voice is in full swing. Last night there was a 17yearold named tanner linford. He auditioned last year, sang his heart out, and not one of the chairs turned for him. He said this year is going to be different, this year is going to be different. Well, no chairs turned again until the very end. Take a look. You say it best when you say nothing at all you say it best when you say nothing at all [ cheers and applause ] you were freaking out. I know you. I know you i know you hes saying i know you because he remembers him from last year. Your boyfriend saves the night. My boyfriend is the best. Your boyfriend is going to be with us very soon. He is later on this week. Oh, my god. What a nice kid it seems like. Waited until the last note, and the family. I love blake. The voice returned and tanner. The voice returns with more blind auditions next monday. Time to seize it up. One of the biggest names in hollywood, starring in one of the biggest films this year. Tyler perry will tell us about gone girl. And joan lunden this is volume. This is colossal pumped up mascara from maybelline new york. Our biggest brush wraps lashes with a double collagen formula, root to tip. Lashes amplified. For our most filledout volume. Colossal pumped up maybe its maybelline. What shall we do for dinner . Pizza with a little help, its easy to whip up a great meal on a week night. Pepperoni on your side. More pepperoni. Cheers pillsbury pizza crust. Make dinner pop he told me theres a whole new way to treat sensitivity. He suggested i try new crest sensistop strips. [ male announcer ] just apply to the gumline of sensitive teeth for a quick 10 minutes. The special ingredient forms a lasting barrier that provides immediate relief and up to one month of protection. See why dental professionals endorse crest sensistop strips to treat sensitivity. Thats 1 strip. 10 minutes. And up to 1 month of protection. Satisfaction guaranteed. [ woman ] life opens up when you relieve sensitivity. Earlier this morning on the plaza we kicked off Breast CancerAwareness Month with pink power. A courageous woman, joan lunden. For 17 years the face of good morning america. Now the face of strength and determination. Earlier this year she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and bravely bared it all for the cover of People Magazine hoping to empower other women. For nearly two decades from 1980 to 1997 millions tuned in to joan lunden on good morning america. Im joan lunden from fair oerks california. This is my daughter jamie. A beloved Television Personality and health advocate. Fans have kept up with her growing family. She has three daughters from her first marriage. And with the help of a surrogate mother has two sets of twins with her current husband, jeff coningsburg. With is support of her family, she went public on june 24th. I heard the words that every woman fears and never wants to hear, you have Breast Cancer. She had aggressive stage two triple negative Breast Cancer. She chose to do an experimental treatment, 12 rounds of toxic chemotherapy, then a lumpectomy. It gives you this much, much greater appreciation for life. Its a shame that you have to go through something that almost takes life away to appreciate it more, but it certainly does do it to you. Joan is with us now. Hi, guys. Good to see you. Good to see you looking so well. Im actually feeling well. Im sore because i just had a lumpectomy. A week ago. Whats going on now . You did the chemo, removed the tumor with the lumpectomy. Where do you stand now . Well, there still may be the need for more chemo, because it was not a complete 100 response. Its only you only get that in about 18 of women. Were talking about just from the first round of chemo which is something a new drug being used in Breast Cancer. Now theres another round of chemotherapy that i probably will have to go through, because you cant really take shortcuts. You cant say, well, maybe its gone. Maybe its not. Somebody asked me to ask you why you chose to have a lumpectomy and not a mastectomy . I didnt have any cancer in the other breast at all, and because we did the chemo first, its called neo add ju vungt, and then the surgery, it means we shrunk the tumor down so tiny, to a minuscule of the size it was, it became a very minimally Invasive Surgery that required no breast reconstruction. So why wouldnt you that . Why would you go through all that . You have such a Strong Family which we showed in the video and also your husband is here. Handsome guy. Your daughter is here. That support must be one of those things that just helped you get through everything. It really does. Either my husband or one of my grown daughters, my three older girls who i had while going through 20 years of good morning america, they have been at every single therapy with me, every single point. And then the little ones, we were the olderly on dont try to keep it a secret. You be in charge of the message. Thats the best way, be honest. Family secrets are dangerous. Tell them. How did you tell the little ones . I know a lot of moms are probably watching thinking how could i ever tell my kids . We got them together. One had a little birthmark that we had laser work done on. You know how jeff said each time youve gone, its gone a way a little more. He said mommy has something on the inside and shes going to have these treatments and each time it will be gone a little more and little more. He does mommy up dates like once a week. Anybody want a mommy update . Its good hes just smiling. Watch are your daughter and husband watch you on the screen feels so good. Can you imagine go through this alone as many women do. Lets talk about that for a minute. I consider myself really lucky, and there are a lot of women out there or you might know a woman out there who is working in an office, working on a factory line, whatever, doing their best to maybe they dont even tell their boss because they dont want it to jeopardize their job. Years ago you didnt tell your friends, you didnt tell anyone. This is something you hid in you or were in secrecy. Thats what this Breast CancerAwareness Month is about, what pink power is about. Being able to talk about it, share it. Thousands of women are sharing their stories on my website. I think it makes them feel a little connected, theres a healing part to that. A woman outside who wauz Flight Attendant on one of my flights. She was bald. She said, i know you dont recognize me. She said i was the Flight Attendant. She wears a wig and shes strong. You never know who youre meeting with that may be struggling with it. Let me be perfectly candid. I was bold enough to take my wig off and stand two feet from that photographer, but im not bold enough to walk down fifth avenue. Im going to say it as it is. By the way, you have a beautifully shaped head. Thank you. It is very brave. You look beautiful. We are grateful that you are doing so well. Youll be with us all week. Yes, absolutely.
