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. >> jeter's thoughts on his fans, his final game and his future today wednesday, october 1, 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. i'm matt lauer along side tamron hall while savannah is on maternity leave. we have natalie morales and carson dally. al is traveling. he is a road warrior. >> he is a real warrior by the way. >> he is in afghanistan in bagram air base. and he is shining a light and taking on a project that is near and dear to his heart. good morning to you. who is your buddy? >> good morning, guys. jay leno, what are you doing here? >> i'm going to be fighting this guy, this is manny. i'm going to fight him in ten minutes. loser stays, winner gets to go home. i'm going home. >> the real reason is we have a usa comedy tour. craig robinson, kevin eubanks all doing a show at the uso here in bagram air base. everybody, yeah! going to tell you more about it coming up. this guy actually we saw him last time he was getting killed by indiana jones. yeah. we're going to have more from bagram air force base later. >> all right. leno's going down. by the way, we're all wearing pink for pink power raising awareness for the fight against breast cancer. joan london is back with us along with a lot of survivors on the plaza. much more on that throughout the show. on this wednesday morning let's start with our top story, the first case of ebola identified and diagnosed in the united states. ron mott is in dallas where the patient is being treated. ron, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. this unidentified man is a patient here at texas health presbyterian hospital, he is in isolati isolation. the cdc has a team on the ground that will be monitoring his condition, but the cdc is trying to calm fears because for a lot of americans just hearing that ebola made its way to this country 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. doctors say they are confident the disease can be kept from spreading. >> but there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here. >> reporter: according to the cdc the patient lie peeria september 19. he developed symptom os on the 24th but wasn't admitted until four days later on tuesday the test came back positive for ebola. at this point doctors believe the patient only came in contact with what they describe as a handful of people after becoming contagious. >> we know there are several family members, they may have been one or two or three other community members and we're there to do additional investigation. >> reporter: until now only four parents, dr. brantly, nancy writebol and one other patient have been brought in after contracting the disease in africa, all under strictly controlled conditions. three have now recovered, the fourth is still in treatment. but health officials worry as the ebola outbreak continues to spread there is increasing danger the disease will find its way to the u.s. in larger numbers. doctors are confident it can be contained. unlike africa the u.s. has a strong health care system. now the exact flight path that the man took to dallas is unknown at this point. he left liberia, we believe had a layover flight in europe before boarding a plane that landed in dallas on september 20. they know of no other new ebola cases in this country. >> tom frieden is with us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> when talking about this ebola case in the u.s. you said quote there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here. and i think anybody hearing those words hopes you're right. how can you be sure? how can you be sure that you've identified everyone that this patient came in contact with after he became symptomatic? >> we will stop ebola in its tracks in the u.s. and we'll do that by two key things. first, make sure the health care that he gets not only does everything we can for the patient, but minimizes the risk of any one else will become infected. the tried and true measures of identifying everyone who might have come into contact with him, when he might have been infectious and monitoring them for 21 days. if they become ill, have symptoms, fever, isolate them, track their contacts and stop it. we stopped -- >> how do you get your arms around. he became sim symptommatic on the 24th of september, wasn't admitted for four days after that. if you said to me matt, name all of the people you have come in contact with in 24 hours i'd be hard-pressed to identify all those people. how are you sure you know everyone he came in contact with? >> that's why we have a seven-person 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 it's not just talking with someone, it has to be physical contact. and that's one thing that reduces the circle of people that we have to identify, and monitor. we've stopped every ebola outbreak that ever occurred in africa althis until this one. this could have been stopped if we had gotten in earlier. we published information how the cdc and the nigerian government and the government of logos stopped a cluster in a city much more difficult to deal with than 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 it's a handful. the team on the ground will review that very intensely to see if there are any other groups who out of abundance of caution we want to monitor. >> we've talked about ebola on this show on a number of occasions. there is so much in the headlines. this patient goes to an emergency room, with symptoms, he is turned away, and it wasn't until two days later when he arrived in an ambulance that he was admitted. with all of the talk of ebola. and with the fact that this guy had flown to this country from liberia. how did that happen? >> that's something that we'll be looking at with the hospital and with others. one of the things that we emphasize for any health worker in this country is that 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. we've identified about 100 people who have that level of concern, we tested 14 of them and this was the first individual to test positive. >> dr. tom frieden, thank you. i know you've got a lot on your 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 and yet they don't think he was symptomatic at that time so they don't think there is a risk that he spread the disease to others on the plane. >> we know the medical professionals want to assure people but naturally you will have questions. >> absolutely. >> we have another alarming incident involving the secret service to tell you about. armed contractor with a criminal record allowed to ride an elevator with the president. that revelation coming hours after the director of the secret service was grilled on capitol hill about other breaches. kristen welker has more for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the alleged white house fence jumper will appear in court today as we learn more about the other embarrassing headline for the secret service you mentioned. a security lapse during the president's recent trip to atlanta. this morning we're learning the latest revelation of another security lapse, when president obama visited the centers for disease control in atlanta on september 16, a secret service official confirmed agents allowed an armed security contractor with a criminal history into an elevator with president obama. a violation of agency procedures. >> i'm kind of surprised and shocked and very disappointed. >> reporter: adding to the 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, secret service director julia pearson acknowledged the failure. >> i take full responsibility and i'll make sure that it does not happen again. >> reporter: one of the pressing questions, why weren't dogs released or shots fired? >> don't let them get in the white house ever. and if they have to take action that is lethal i will have their back. >> reporter: the other big concern, why did the agency initially suggest that omar gonzalez was tackled almost immediately inside the doors when he actually made it much farther. >> were you lying to the american people or misled by your own agents about where the intruder was tackled? >> the secret service is conducting on going investigation. >> reporter: pearson was pressed on the 2011 incidents when it took four days to realize gun shots hit the white house residence. tempers flare wtd lawmakers accusing her of being evasive. >> ma'am, i want a short answer. >> i wish to god you protected the white house like you're protect your reputation. >> reporter: the director insisted the president is still safe but there is broad agreement change is needed. >> somebody has to go in and scrub it hard, find out if there is a cultural problem, if there is a management problem, either way it needs to be corrected and sooner rather than later. >> reporter: the white house says it has confidence in the agency, meanwhile some lawmakers are calling for an independent review. gonzalez who was indicted tuesday will face a judge today on charges of unlawfully entering a restricted area with a deadly weapon. one more twist we're learning one of the agents who helped tackle him was off duty and headed home. they are investigating all of the security breaches. >> every day a new bit of information coming out. thank you. >> we'll tell you about a story developing out of california. the mayor of a small los angeles suburb shot dead by his own wife during a domestic dispute. miguel almaguer has the latest. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. detectives say the mayor of bell gardens was fatally shot by his wife. but 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 mayor's home. detectives say 45-year-old daniel crespo was gunned down by his wife after an argument in their master bedroom. >> their 19-year-old son daniel jr. tried to intervene, and we do know that the father, daniel sr., became physical with his son. shortly after the wife shot the mayor multiple times. >> reporter: with neighbors reporting at least three shots fired crespo was pronounced dead. his high school sweet heart was taken into custody but we leased the mayor's brother in disbelief. >> why did she kill my brother? why did she do it? why couldn't she talk, tell me something or let me know something you know. >> reporter: in 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 fall tight-knit community. >> i'm really shocked that it happened. i really can't believe that and right in front of my house. >> reporter: a shooting that claimed the mayor's 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 leading up to the fight. the mayor's brother says the relationship was often strained by money problems. matt and tamron. >> miguel, thank you very much. >> natalie is here with the latest on the u.s.-led campaign against isis. >> good morning. the united states has been in a war with isis since early august but so far the results have been mixed. for the first time now britain has joined the aerial bombing campaign. richard engel is in turk we the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there were more air strikes against isis today. there have been a couple hundred so far. the militants are still advancing towards baghdad. baghdad is under attack again. car bombs and mortars killed more than 30 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 force there is has been some progress. the militants suffering setbacks. but the iraqi army, which this summer ran from isis, even where it outnumbered the militants 20 to 1 is floundering. the british military joined air war tuesday. 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. it's unlikely the militants could capture all of baghdad without a major fight. isis could try to grab a neighborhood or two to show the world they haven't been weakened by the u.s.-led war. activists tell us isis is actually growing in numbers as other groups join the militants to protest american air strikes. >> richard engel in turkey, thank you, richard. huge crowds of protesters back on the streets of hong kong as the country celebrate's china's national day. china's leader attended a flag raising behind barricades so demonstrators yelled at him to step down. for days thousands of students protesting. pennsylvania police say they have found two pipe bombs capable of causing significant damage in the wooded area where they are searching for an accused killer. eric frein has been on the run now for more than three weeks since he ambushed two state troopers, killing one of them. on tuesday police made a personal appeal to frein to give himself up. >> i am calling on you, eric, to surrender. you are clearly stressed, you are making significant mistakes. our troopers' resolve is very strong. we are not going anywhere. >> state police urged hunters to noi notify authorities if they find anything suspicious. >> tracy morgan is responding to walmart's claims that he was partly to blame for the injuries he suffered when his limo van was hit by one of its trucks. walmart said that morgan and the others were partly to blame because they weren't wearing seat belts at the time. in a statement morgan said quote i can't believe walmart is blaming me for an accident that they caused. my friends and i were doing nothing wrong. >> and if you stayed away lake you know that baseball's postseason off to an exciting start. kansas city hosted oakland in the american league wild card game on tuesday night. the royals came back from four runs down to send the game into extra innings. in the bottom of the 12th perez comes up big. the royals win it, 9-8. they move on to play the los angeles angels in the next round. the the royals last played in a postseason game in 1985. so we dug up, well, "the new york times" dug up facts. only six states had seat belt laws at the time. smoking was still allowed on planes, and back to the future the number one movie at the box office at the time. 29 years. >> congratulations to them. >> what's the weather like?

>> it feels good. i don't 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 you're the most eligible bachelor on the planet. what are you talking about? don't 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 20-year 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 you're winning all the championships that the last day of your career in baseball would include a standing ovation at fenway park?

>> at first, i kept going back and forth and, i mean, i don't -- 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 it's a national magazine, which means everyone is going to see it and you guys haven't even seen me with no hair. they haven't seen me bald. >> how come? >> i don't run around the house that way, because -- i guess it says -- i'm afraid it will shock them or make them fear -- i don't want them to worry that i'm going to die, because i'm 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? we're doing this. we're losing our hair in order to live and survive and be there for our families and our husbands and our kids. that's 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 they're still battling the war. >> i've 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 don't have much hair but you said that's more than i've 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 3-d 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. >> that's 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 you're ready to fight the battle. you have to be in there, asking questions, like what we're 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. >> you're 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. >> who's 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? >> i'm 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. >> i'm 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. it's bad news but it's 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. there's a song i know that this group is crazy about. what is the song called?

>> that's a strange question. >> did you treat her bad? >> that's 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. it's a fantastic movie. your character, desi, is mirror than a little creep. >> i well, yeah. you know, he's not -- he's introduced throughout the movie but you think he's just a suspect and you only really get to know him a little bit in the second half. there's a lot of -- it's a david fincher film and a classic hitchcock-ian kind of way. i can't say much about what i do. >> that's one of the problems of having you here. ben was here a couple of days ago and i said there's a lot of unexpected twists and turns and perhaps none more so with your character. >> agreed. >> so there's a lot that you can say. >> which makes it, i think, a great movie. it's part whodunit thriller. a woman is missing. you're not sure if she's dead, what her story s as you start feeling like you know what's 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. i'm suddenly arch nemesis? i don't know. i'll 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 don't. >> sometimes you don't. i think the conceit of relationship when you first get together is you're putting on a bit of a guise, trying to show the best version of yourself. if you couple up and that's 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 you're really meant to be together. and in "gone girl," i don't 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. it's been quite an amazing year. you and david have been together, what, more than ten years? >> and we've been engaged for seven or eight of those ten. and it wasn't 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. >> that's a nice shot. you got married in italy. you say you've been to a lot of weddings and watched people exchange vows and say that's cute but when it happens to you, you stand up there, you get blubery? >> vows are something you write yourself that you don't share anyone, the tenants with which you believe and are committing to for a long-term relationship for the rest of your life. and so to vocalize those is just intense. it's 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 you're in the process, you're worried about weather and you're worried about someone not showing up on time and this hasn't arrived. so it's 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. >> they're 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. >> announcer: the toyota concert series on "today" brought to you by toyota. blake shelton pulls double duty as a coach on nbc's 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. >> there's 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 don't 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 i'm 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 you're hanging out with the kids at "the voice," agagwen stefanid pharrell joining "the voice"? >> no. i don't think there's pressure. it's kind of a blend of what's going on today with traditional. >> i know every single lyric. >> do you really? ♪ in the neon lights >> will you sing it with us?

sorry to let you down. >> you've got tomorrow, it's a whole month. >> in honor of breast cancer awareness month, also october is domestic violence awareness month. so a lot to think about this month. >> pink or purple or you can do both. and it's the entire month, so you started out with a ribbon. i'll go shopping for a pink tie tomorrow. pink and purple. >> spread the love over the month. >> yes. >> the cdc has now confirmed the first case of ebola diagnosed here in the united states. it's an unidentified male patient being treated at texas health presbyterian hospital in dallas. health officials say the patient was actually visiting family in texas from africa and developed ebola symptoms after he had 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 the 20th. the cdc, though, says there is "zero risk of transmission" on the man's flight to the u.s. because he wasn't showing any symptoms at the time, didn't have any symptoms. someone with ebola, we should remind everyone, is not contagious until they're feeling symptoms. and by the way, it's also not contagious via the air. earlier, matt spoke with cdc director dr. thomas frieden and asked how they're monitoring there who he's come in contact with. >> if you said to me right now, matt, name all the people you've come in contact with in the 24 hours, i'd be hard pressed to identify all those people. how are you so sure you know everyone he came in contact with? >> that's why we have a seven-person 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 it's not just talking with someone. it has to be physical contact, and that's one thing that reduces the circle of people that we have to identify and monitor. we've stopped every ebola outbreak that ever occurred in africa until this one, and this one could have been stopped if we had gotten in there earlier. >> so, ebola's transmitted via bodily fluid. >> right. >> that includes, by the way, sweat. so, if he shook a hand and there was a break in somebody's hand, which witness all have, it could be transmitted that way. the cdc's very clear about the plane, saying zero risk there, but we don't know what happened after he arrived in dallas. >> and they did take his temperature before boarding the flight, as for now are requirements, especially traveling in that part of the world, but a lot of concerns, especially that 48-hour period after he went home from the hospit hospital. >> right. >> and that's the concern you have, how many people he was exposed to, as matt asked that question. i don't think you could say with 100% certainty that you could talk to everybody or contain it to just that group of people. >> and the questions about symptoms, you know. i know that 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 all alert, here, this was the flight, but should someone be told? what is the public interest here? >> i would want to know, definitely. i would definitely want to know. >> and when he did initially go into the hospital, he was sent home. >> right. >> right. >> so, it's proof that things are not fool-proof. >> right. >> mistakes can be made. you can over or underestimate something. >> right. >> so, in this case, while the doctor says that he's been able to contain and control every ebola outbreak in africa up until this one, i think that it is fair to still ask questions. >> right. >> and express concerns without being alarmist. >> and again, 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. >> they're all similar, yes. >> and the enterovirus 68 now as well. i mean, it's a concern when you think about, you know, all the things that are out there now. now here in the u.s. >> and how we're so international. i mean, this is in my home state of texas, and 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. >> was it like that? >> oh, gosh, no. but you know, people from all over the world, we travel, we interact. my mom is a substitute teacher. she was at a school the other day and said every other kid was from africa in her class. their families had moved to texas. it's a great state to live. but nevertheless, we are more international, we interact all the time. the emergency workers, by the way, who treated this man are now being monitored as well. >> yes. >> they came in contact with their family members. so, there's a balance here, there's no question. >> t cdc's working hard to trace everybody he came in contact with. we'll keep you posted on that story. let's go to al now at bagram airfield in afghanistan, where he's acting as emcee for a great show tonight, u.s. comedy featuring jay leno, craig robinson, kevin eubanks and iliza shlesinger. >> hey, guys. we have had a wonderful time here at the bagram airfield. and there's so many missions that go on here that are actually weather critical. and behind me are members of the 19th expeditionary weather squadron. 23 members. i want to make sure they all get in here. they are under the command of major stacy coleman, a major. nice to see you. >> great to see you. >> well, how important is weather here? >> oh, al, weather is extremely important here. not only do we give weather so that people know whether or not just to put on a raincoat, but we also give weather to the pilots and the commanders so that they know how to use their assets to make sure the mission happens based on how the weather will impact those missions. >> i don't know if you've ever seen my weather, but how does it stack up to what these folks do? your weather forecast is really serious. >> oh, our weather forecast is serious. and these guys do a fantastic job. you forecast for the ground, al. we forecast for the column of atmosphere. we forecast way up at 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 feet. >> wow. >> so, we're concerned about a lot. >> well, we are proud of the job you're doing and that's why we're here. doing this uso show. but guys, as you know, it's part of our "shine a light" program, and we want to raise money for the uso. it is not a government-supported organization. and we don't want to forget these brave men and women who are protecting our freedom every day, 24/7, 365 days a year, not only here in the middle east but all around the world and back at home. so, please go to crowdrise.com/roker to donate to the uso. i would like to make an extended forecast that you are going to donate and donate big. all right, major coleman, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you, al. >> thank you. back to you guys. >> she keeps throwing al a little shade on his forecast there. >> yeah. forecast up above. >> the lowdown stuff. al, we'll talk to you in just a few minutes ago. >> very nice. by the way, what's this wednesday situation? >> we're starting off this would you wednesday, something new. we want to know, what would you do in this situation? would you say something to someone if someone near you was eating loudly? you know, like smacking, chewing their gum or eating? pranksters justin stewart had that question. they went to a college library to find out what would happen if they started eating loudly around studying students. take a look at what happens. >> any chance you could not sit right exactly behind me? >> oh, i'm sorry. too close? >> a little bit, please. >> oh, i'm sorry about that. >> hey, would you like some bread? would you like some bread? >> no, thank you. >> all right. no problem. >> so -- >> the video goes on. at one point, he's got a little hand like foreman grill. he's got sizzling meat on the grill behind the woman -- >> that is so hilarious. >> should have known. >> would you say something to a friend or family member? go to today.com for our survey. would you say something to a loud eater? we'll reveal results later in the hour. >> do you? >> i do it to my kids all the time, close that mouth, close that mouth! >> i would. i would say something. >> in a movie theater? >> i can't. >> you could do it in humor, can i have one of those? those sound good. all right, let's go back to al at bagram air base in afghanistan for a look at the weather. hey, al. >> hey. i thought we would have one of the members of the 19th expeditionary weather squadron take care of this. this is tech sergeant david drader. go ahead with the forecast, sir. >> yes, sir. it's going to be another hot and dry day in afghanistan, al. we've got highs in the upper 80s, lows in the upper 50s tonight, and it's going to be a little bit breezy, but should be good to go for all the flights going on today. >> that's what's happening in this country. >> we're going to talk to our cast of comedy all-stars coming up. back to you. >> thanks a lot. as al said, it's not often that the big names of comedy get together in one place. they're doing it for our men and women serving overseas. jay we get our speed from mom and dad. they do stuff super fast. and now they got this new kitchen... so they're even faster. so they can help us with our free throws.
