some are saying that building was an accident just waiting to happen. we have all that plus the father of the american student freed from a north korean prison speaking out. the wrong-way crash that could have been much worse. and quegwyneth paltrow gets ready to host a special hour of "today," thursday, june 15, 2017. >> this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everyone. welcome to "today." it's a thursday morning. glad to have you with us. >> suffice it to say, we have a lot going on in your world. let us get started. the president is meeting with steve scalise who remains in critical condition this morning. we have the investigation into that shooting covered from all angles. and we're going to speak with congressman roger williams and his staffer zach barth both injured in that attack. zach was shot. but let us start with national correspondent craig melvin at the field where this just began just about 24 hours ago. craig, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you. it was actually roughly this exact same time yesterday morning, less than 100 yards from me, where that gunman opened fire. this morning we are learning more about what likely fueled his rampage. we are also learning more about those officers whose actions likely saved many lives. overnight, president trump visiting congressman steve scalise in the hospital where he remains in critical condition. trump tweeting, scalise is in very tough shape but he is a real fighter. this barely 24 hours after the baseball field scalise was on turned into a war zone. >> we need medics. we got a suspect shooting. >> reporter: scalise, the house's third-ranking republican, shot in the hip. >> we can't help him, we're helpless. we have bats versus rifle. >> reporter: the gunfire early wednesday reportedly lasting for ten harrowing minutes, aimed at republicans practicing for a charity baseball game. the gunman, 66-year-old james hodgkinson, reportedly started firing from behind the fence along the third baseline, moving toward home plate and then back toward the dugout unable to find a way onto the field. texas congressman joe barton there with his children. >> i was behind the dugout. my son jack got under an suv and he was very brave. and my other son brad was in the batting cage and he also was very brave. >> reporter: along with scalise, three other victims shot. congressional staffer zachary bart th, matt mika, a lobbyiest for tyson foods and u.s. capitol police officer crystal griner. griner among those who returned fire. james hodgkinson came to maryland in march and was living out of his van. hodgkinson did ask if the players on the field were republicans. >> he asked me if this team was the republican or democrat team practicing. i responded that it was the republican team practicing. and he proceeded to shoot republicans. >> reporter: on hon kinlgsdgkin media post, a number of anti-republican posts. >> we may have our differences but we do well in times like these to remember that everyone who serves in our nation's capitol is here because, above all, they love our country. >> reporter: congressional leaders echoing those sentiments on the house floor. >> we are united in our anguish. an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. >> reporter: meanwhile, the congressional baseball game will go on as planned tonight, just over the potomac here at national stadium in washington, d.c. president trump apparently wanted to attend. secret service telling him because of the late hour, they would thought be able to make the necessary, take the necessary precautions to get him there. meanwhile, it was revealed yesterday that the gunman had volunteered for the bernie sanders presidential campaign yesterday. yesterday bernie sanders took to the senate floor to denounce violence of any type. >> craig melvin where it all began 24 hours ago, thank you. we are also learning more this morning about the two capitol hill police officers being credited with stopping that attack from becoming a massacre. that in the words of one of the elected officials who was there. nbc's tom costello is at medstar washington hospital center this morning where congressman scalise and one of the officers are still being treated. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. quick update now on representative scalise. he's in critical condition. we are told the bullet entered his left hip, it traversed across the pelvis causing significant injuries, fractured bones, internal bleeding, internal injuries. he received several units of blood, underwent emergency surgery and more surgery is planned. meanwhile, also here is that officer crystal griner who is credited along with her partner with saving many lives yesterday morning. after an all-out gun battle in the park. >> shots being fired. and there are people running, possibly victims involved. >> reporter: this morning two u.s. capitol police officers, crystal griner and david bailey are being hailed as heroes for immediately returning fire and saving the lives of members of congress, family members and many others. >> if they would not have been there, this would have been a massacre of major proportions of innocent people in a park where innocent civilians walk their dogs. we have kids at practices. >> officers griner and bailey prevented that and my family will be forever debateful. grateful. it was a thin blue line that held today. >> reporter: the officers were only there because the gop whip has a security detail. most rank in file members of congress don't. >> the capitol police were firing from behind the dugout we were in, the first base dugout. i kept yelling back, are you friendly? are you friendly? we didn't know if there was another gunman or this was return fire. >> reporter: within three minutes, they had backup from alexandria police, but officer griner was down, shot in the ankle, later airlifted to the hospital. officer bailey suffered a minor ankle injury himself. one of the most seriously injured, matt mika, a lobbyist for tyson foods was shot in the chest. zachary barth, a congressional staffer shot in the leg, was treated and released. on the house floor, speaker paul ryan. >> it is clear to me, based on various eyewitness accounts, that without these two heroes, agent bailey and agent griner, many lives would have been lost. >> reporter: arizona senator jeff flake tweeted out he had personally gone to the hospital and met with both the officers and thanked them for saving his life. really, a sentiment echoed across the political spectrum. but, in addition, a lot of thanks as well to the officers from alexandria who responded immediately also, engaged the suspect, spinning him down and the gun battle going on as you know for ten minutes. >> tom costello, thank you. congressman roger williams injured his ankle during that attack and his congressional aide zachary barth was shot in the leg. gentlemen, good morning to both of you. it's good to see you. >> good morning. >> congressmen, forgive me for addressing zach, but this is the first time we have gotten to see him and talking to him. zach, how do you feel and what about yesterday? >> i'm okay. i'm very blessed to be alive. and thank goodness for agents bailey and griner. as you all said, without them, there would have been tremendous loss of life. and i probably wouldn't be talking to y'all. >> zach, you were shot, you were out in the outfield, you managed, though, to get yourself into that dugout. what happened once you got into the dugout? >> sure. so they started shooting at me, i was pinned down in right field. at that point, i got struck in the leg and made a run for it. i was running for my life. got into the dugout, and i was bleeding pretty badly, but i was really just trying to keep my head down, keep everyone's heads down, and prevent anything else from happening. we were -- we didn't know what was going on. there was a lot of uncertainty and we were just trying to stay alive. >> as i understand it, zach, you more or less jumped right into the congressman's arms, right congressman williams? what happened from your perspective? >> well, i was hitting ground balls on the third base side, our third baseman, trent kelly, not knowing frankly the shooter was probably just 20 yards away from where i was. then i went around and started hitting balls to steve scalise. i hit the first grounder to him and all of a sudden we heard this pop. and a lot of us thought it may have been a car backfiring, but then it came, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop and people were yelling, he's got a gun, get cover. and i turned and i immediately, it was a reaction, i guess, i dove into the dugout. the dugout is six foot into the ground, so it's a pretty far -- it's a pretty far dive head-first on a concrete slab, but i did it. when i got there, i was immediately with congressman flake and mo brooks. and all of a sudden here comes zach and he jumped in there and all of a sudden we were arm to arm and mo brooks took his belt off and gave it to flake and i. and we helped put a tourniquet on zach's leg to help his bleeding. and then we stayed down. and we had -- we had generations in this dugout. we had everybody from my age to the late 60s to a 10-year-old, joe barton's son was in the dugout with us. and people were protecting him. so we bonded that day, but it was a scary thing. and i just want to say real quick that the thin blue line worked. these two officers were fabulous. they saved all of our lives. there's no question that it would have been different if they hadn't been there. and we owe it all to them. >> if you think about what would have happened had that gunman not been opposed by those two officers during those first three minutes before the alexandria police got there. another thing that struck me, i don't know if you saw that animation we had, this gunman started on the third base side, went up and down the line around toward home plate and back up because he couldn't find a way to get on the field. had he stopped to think about what would have happened had he made his way onto that field? >> well, it would have been a lot different. and the amazing thing was, he was trying to get through a gate and the gate was locked. so he couldn't get through the locked gate. he had nowhere to go. but if he had gotten onto the field, we would have had nowhere to go. we had baseballs and bats to defend ourselves. so the lord worked his -- the lord worked yesterday. he saved us. and we're grateful for that, but also grateful for the capitol police that saved all of us. >> zach, i always wonder what it must be like to lay down your head on a pillow after the day like the one you had yesterday and what thoughts go through your mind. can you share how you're feeling and how you're thinking about what transpired? >> yeah, i mean, i'm receiving plenty of prayers and thoughts. the people around me, we've got a great community for houston, texas, plenty of people back home have reached out to me. and the people around here, you know, on both sides of the aisle, we've got a great community up here on capitol hill. and everybody has just lifted me up want andand i couldn't be mo blessed. >> it has to be one of the most watched congressional games in history. >> it's not softball, it's baseball. >> we know your thoughts and prayers go to people affected by this tragedy. >> we do hope people come to this game tonight. we hope the next day can be full of 50,000. it can go to charity. speaker ryan and i, joe barton and i talked about it, we need to play this game, it's baseball, it's america. when america gets punched, america punches back and we'll do that tonight. >> congressman roger williams and zach bart h, best wishes fo both of your recoveries, thank you. and now we'll turn to the investigation into the russia involvement in the 2016 election now led by special counsel robert mueller. "the washington post" says mueller's team is actively investigating that president trump obstructed justice. national correspondent peter alexander is joining us from the white house. what can you tell us? >> reporter: this could be a significant turning point in the investigation. the president the subject of a criminal investigation into possible obstruction of justice. just moments ago, president trump tweeted writing, they made up a phony collusion with the russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. nice. as president trump was wrapping up his 71st birthday, an unwanted gift from robert mueller. "the washington post" expanding that robert mueller is expanding the russian inquiry, now saying the president may have obstructed justice. investigators working with mueller are reportedly preparing to interview three top intelligence officials including director of national intelligence dan coats and the head of the national security agency mike rogers. it's a dramatic development in an investigation that's been looming over the trump administration since day one. the post reporting the obstruction of justice investigation began days after mr. trump abruptly fired fbi director james comey on may 9. the move appearing to confirm what comey told senators under oath last week, when asked whether he believed the president's request to back off the investigation into national security advisor michael flynn amounted to obstruction. >> that's a clon collusionclusi the special counsel will look to, to figure out what the intention was there. >> reporter: comey said that mr. trump did not try to stop the russia probe. not denying the post report but saying the fbi leak of information regarding the president is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal. mueller on capitol hill on wednesday meeting privately with the leaders of the senate intelligence committee. the chairman of that committee richard burr called their meeting constructive. the latest headline 24 hours after the president's aides tried to knock down speculation he may try to fire mueller. the spokesperson said, while the president has every right to fire him, he has no intention to do so. and new this morning, "the wall street journal" reports that the former deputy of the national security agency wrote a memo documenting a phone call that his boss, mike rogers, had with the president. president trump reportedly cast doubt on the intelligence committee's conclusion that russia interfered with the election and tried to persuade admiral rogers that there was no evidence of collusion between his campaign and russian officials. >> peter alexander, thank you. let's bring in msnbc's chief legal correspondent ari melber. good morning to you. let's play this out, two of the key intelligence officials, mr. coats and mr. rogers, have already said that they didn't feel, they said this under oath, that they were not pressured in any kind of investigation. so is this obstruction investigation now going to boil down to the word of james comey verse the word of the president? >> probably not. that's because the doj doesn't care about their feelings in the way they put it in the now famous testimony. the doj cares about the feelings and intent of the president. this is by far the largest development legally in the trump era. it is a sign that the inquiry is not just about the campaign in the past, it's a criminal inquiry into the president's conduct in office, the present. >> and how is that likely to proceed? i mean, in a normal investigation, one might try to get the testimony of the person you're investigating. could mueller conceivably get the testimony of president trump under oath? could it set up a situation where the president could say, i don't want to testify because of the privilege or fifth amendment? >> all those things are possible. previously, we have seen prosecutors or independent prosecutors seek testimony of white house aides, senior officials and get it, it's tend to be hard to resist, but when president clinton was faced with this, and we are not there yet, they agreed voluntarily to do grand jury testimony under oath. whether a president would not agree and be forced is a legal question that has never been answered. >> ari melber, thank you very much. another big story we have been covering this morning, that terrible inferno in london. the death toll has raisin overnight and is expected to go higher. at least 17 people lost their lives in the fire that consumed a high-rise apartment building. and this morning many more people still remain missing. authorities are calling this the city's worst fire in a generation. bill neely is there for us again this morning. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. amazingly, this building is still on fire, the death toll rising, dozens still missing. most of them lived on the top floors of this building. among them, whole families of five, six and seven people. it's another terrible blow for a country that recently has been hit hard. high up in the smoking tower block, they are recovering bodies. down below, the shock is still sinking in. >> people calling mom, dad, their loved one, and i couldn't do anything. >> reporter: relatives wait helpless. >> i don't think they are alive. >> reporter: you don't think so. fire swept the tower in minutes as people slept. at least 600 inside. >> there's a family, there's a kid! >> reporter: they signaled with flashlights, tied sheets to escape. firefighters battling to save them. >> he's going, he's going. >> reporter: and distressing scenes inside, a woman failed her attempted escape. she and her children are still missing. like five of this man's family. >> the whole family went up, complete. >> reporter: there's grief and anger. the building recently covered in plastic clouding. no sprinkler was required, but there was no central fire alarm. a couple people have described this to me as a death trap. is that going too far? >> obviously, it was a death trap. >> reporter: and a death toll, police say will rise by dozens. so real anger here. the singer adele has come to this area. she visited last night. she's from london. she met residents, just one of the millions here really shocked by this tragedy. matt and savannah? >> bill neely in london, thanks. now we'll get a check on the weather. al is on the road this morning in florida. al, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. we'll talk about that in a bit, but also let's look into what is going on right now. we have some severe weather that's firing up through the plains and the upper midwest. strong storms from kansas city on just to the south of indianapolis heading on into parts of kentucky. we do have a risk of severe weather today stretching from the plains all the way into the southeast. 16 million people at risk for isolated tornadoes, damaging winds and severe hail. that's what's going on, we'll good morning. i'm meteorologist, bill henley. nice cool start but we have sunshine, warm temperatures in the 70s and low 80s. congratulate degrees, partly cloudy skies for delaware. the cool neighborhood is in new jersey, especially at the shore where a sea breeze will keep temperatures in the low 70s. sunshine and suburbs warm in the low 80s in philadelphia, up to 81 this afternoon. have a great day. >> that's your latest weather. guys?

>> nice and sunny and some clouds moving through the area and the clouds will not bring us showers today. humidity is low and that allowed the temperatures to drop down overnight, still cooler at this time. 66 degrees at northeast philadelphia and 66 degrees at wildwood and mostly cloudy skies in lehigh valley. >> if you're headed out we will check with jessica. >> an overturned vehicle on 295 southbound side around creek road. traffic is still getting by the scene right now. we're not seeing major delays because of that. from the southbound side moving towards philadelphia or heading to the 42 freeway, you will see delays there. the schuylkill stop and go for an hour on the west side. back to you. jurors in the cosby trial heading into their fourth day of deliberations today. yesterday, the panel asked to hear testimony from a detective as well as the cosby accuser, andrea constand. cosby is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2004. when we have a verdict you will hear from us first. we will have another update in 25 minutes. join us weekday mornings. all right. we are back now, 7:30 on this thursday morning, the 15th day of june, 2017. there's a look at nationals park in washington, d.c. that is where members of congress will hold their charity baseball game tonight. it's a tradition that has been going on since 1909. and that charity event will go on as planned tonight. >> i think it will be a very emotional night. lots of people there. and i think they are raising more money for charity, which is wonderful. let's check some of the other headlines this morning. the president is under investigation for obstruction of justice. that's according to a report in a "washington post." the special counsel robber muer mueller has requested interviews with three intelligence officials and seeking documents related to the white house's interactions with the nsa over that russia investigation. and meanwhile, the jurors in the bill cosby sexual assault trial may have another long day ahead of them after failing to deliver a verdict on day three. they fought fatigue while re-hearing large chunks of testimony on wednesday. so far, they have been deliberating and reviewing evidence for a total of 28 hours. and the dashboard camera captured a terrifying wrong-way crash on a utah highway. a pickup truck was driving north in the southbound lanes near salt lake and slammed right into an oncoming car. amazingly, everybody walked away from that crash. police, though, are still searching for the driver of the truck who fled the scene on foot. marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found inside that vehicle. >> a close call. lets turn back to the big story of the morning, the attack on congress. as we learn more about the shooter, james hodgkinson. the team is standing by with the latest justice correspondent. pete williams, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, investigators are discovering more by the hour about this illinois man who was accused of being the gunman and killed at the scene, except the answer to one of the big questions. why did he do it? for nearly three months james hodgkinson lived in his van parked near the ball field he attacked early wednesday morning. residents say he often showered at the nearby ymca. >> i would see him down in the locker room as we're interacting. >> reporter: neighbors say he sometimes slept in the park where the congressional team practiced. >> i've seen him in the neighborhood just walking around the neighborhood and sleeping on a bench in a park. >> reporter: others who came in contact with him say he didn't seem dangerous, though some say he was odd. >> he's always been a little strange every time he comes in. one of those things where you can't quite put your finger on it. >> reporter: he came here from belleville, illinois, a suburb where he was a home inspector. just before he left for washington in late march, he was target practicing in the woods. >> i said, i'm going to call the sheriff. he's like a coop nannon out the. >> reporter: president trump he wrote about on facebook. during the occupy wall street demonstrations in 2011, he talked to the st. louis fox affiliate. >> 99% are getting pushed around. and the 1% are just not giving a damn. >> reporter: and last year illinois democrats say he volunteered for the bernie sanders campaign. the fbi's asking now for tips from anybody who talked to him recently as investigators seek answers to why he came to washington in the first place. and why after being here nearly three months he suddenly turned so violent. back to you all. >> pete williams in washington, thanks. of course, a lot of washington is on edge and on high alert after this shooting. just about everybody's crediting the security detail assigned to the house majority whip steve scalise for preventing a bigger tragedy. kasie hunt is on capitol hill with more on that part of the story. hi, kasie, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. many of the lawmakers we have spoken to said they typically have felt safe here at work in washington, d.c. but after yesterday's terrifying incident, they say that's all changed. a gunman opening fire in broad daylight on the republican congressional baseball team. hitting majority whip steve scalise and three others. scalise's security detail helped take down the gunman, preventing what could have been a massacre. >> if scalise wasn't there, we would have had real trouble. this guy had an ar-15 or something. and he was ready to go. >> reporter: only the top leaders in congress get full-time security protection. typically rank-in-file members don't. >> i never thought i would come to a baseball practice for a game for charity, local d.c. charities and have to dodge bullets. >> reporter: members of congress have typically felt safe inside the beltway. but wednesday's incident has them thinking it's a false sense of security. >> i will tell you, somebody with a carry permit that i've had for 30 years, i think for my own safety and others i'm going to go back to probably carrying a lot more than i did when appropriate. >> reporter: others are calling for a change in clearance security measures. >>. we just need to wake up and have standard protocols in place. >> reporter: members of congress have been targets before. in 2011 congresswoman gabby giffords was shot meeting with constituents at a supermarket. giffords tweeting wednesday, i'm heart broken and saying, quote, she knows the courage it takes to recover from a shooting like this. now congress members receiving threats like this voice mail are the norm. >> almost every week that i've been a member of congress i've received some kind of threatening message. >> reporter: the latest threat? after the shooting she received an e-mail that said, one down, 216 to go. others like senator claire mccaskill says she feels safe on and off the hill. >> i hope we don't go too far because that would be a mistake in a country where we cherish our freedoms. >> reporter: now they are left wondering how to balance freedom with security. in the aftermath of yesterday afternoon, the republican manager of the team joe barton stood next to his democratic counterpart and made a point that is sometimes lost in this harsh political environment that we're living in. he said, members of congress are often no longer looked at as people, but they feel these threats as personally as anybody would. so it's a good lesson for everyone right now, matt and savannah. >> you think about congressman barton's two little boys being there. thank you very much. now we'll get a check on the weather from al who is in florida. good morning, again. >> reporter: good morning. we are on the east coast of florida. and our crew found so we can hide from our dad we are going to surprise, the swampiest, buggiest place, so that is why i'm shiny right now. we are coated in bug spray, but you are not going to need that where it is going to be awfully hot today. and that is out west. adagno guadagno from central california into the southwest. 22 million people from this weekend into early next week will be looking at building temperatures that will continue to bake. you can look at this, temperatures triple digits from sacramento, las vegas, palm springs, on into tucson, arizona. and into next week, it spreads from redding all the way to phoenix. look at phoenix in death valley, 121 degrees by tuesday. and in the midsection of the country, we are looking at that expanding heat as well. we're going to see that growing warmth for early june. temperatures more like mid-july with those temperatures getting into the mid-90s to near 100 degrees today, going into the weekend. good morning. i'm meteorologist, bill henley. nice cool start. we have sunshine and warm temperatures in the 70s and low 80s. partly cloudy skies for delaware. clouds partly cloudy in lehigh valley to 82 degrees this afternoon. the cool neighborhoods will be in new jersey, especially at the shore where a sea breeze will keep temperatures in the low 70s this afternoon. the suburbs warm to low 80s and 81 in philadelphia this afternoon. have a great day! don't forget, any time you need to check out the weather, check out our fcheck out our fr weather channel. we are going to surprise our dad next hour. and you won't believe his story. >> are you going to get home for father's day, bud?

>> al, thank you so much. to say that olivia wilde is a busy woman is an understatement. the actress, activist and producer is a mom to two young children and is now adding broadway star to her lengthy resumé. in her latest role, she's bringing big brother to the big stage. in the ad andation of george orwell's novel, "1984." olivia, good morning to you. >> thank you for having me. >> your broadway debut, just chose something light and frothy. "1984," this is heavy stuff. >> it is heavy stuff, but heavy times call for heavy stuff. >> now, "1984" is the book everyone read in high school or said they read in high school. >> it's the number one book people lie about having read. >> i know. i actually was thinking, like, did i read it or just pretend i read it? >> cliff's notes did well in "1984." >> this is not just staging, we were talking about it in the commercial. >> it is intense. >> in what way? >> it involves multimedia where you're shooting video simulcast onto the stage. cameras and back to the stage. there's a lot of light and sound work really immersivmmersive. and it is a different experience. it's not like watching a play, it's like going on a really scary ride. >> scary and it can get physical. talk about this. four members of the audience have actually passed out. >> yes. >> you busted your own lip during a performance. >> yeah. >> and you broke your co-star's nose. >> i did. but it was in retaliation because he broke my cosyx, which i didn't know we had. >> why are you breaking bones on this production. >> we are doing everything necessary to tell the story right. and it is an intense story. so we are throwing ourselves in. it's worth it. >> you play julia for those who don't know or didn't read it. the story is about an oppressive state, kind of, trying to police our thoughts. >> exactly. dystopia totalitarian state with surry va say lance and people are loyal to the party and bad things can happen to you. julia may or may not be a spy. and there's a love story that ensues and it is very intense. >> it sounds like it. so you've got to go home, you work late nights and then your kids who are 3 and 1, i'm sure they just let you sleep in. >> oh, they love to sleep in and make me brunch. no. they like to get up around 6:30. and it's -- >> is that the new one, daisy and otis? >> she's 8 months and he's 3. and they are amazing. it's great to be living my dream. broadway was something i always wanted to do but never felt like i could call myself an actor until i had done it. and now i feel like i'm earning my keep and get to come home to those little amazing people. >> jason, your fiance, just did a play himself. did he give you any advice, kind of? >> he did. he told me to be patient with the process. i'm a perfectionist and typically with a film you put something out that you know is right and ready. with a play, you go through this preview process where you put something out that is still kind of figuring itself out. and it's -- it's really a vulnerable and amazing and humbling process. >> you're working out the kink in front of everybody, yeah. >> in front of people. but the audiences know that and love to be a part of the process. we have had a lot of people come at the beginning of previews and want to come back after opening. this is a show people want to see a bunch of different times because you pick up different stuff from the storyline. so it is fun to have the repeat audience members. >> and we always say when you're here that you and i are on the same page and schedule. you have a baby, i have a baby. you have a baby, i have a baby. just so you know, i'm done. >> i'm done, too. >> we're done. it's a wrap. it's a wrap. your boy is the oldest, is he adjusted to the little one? >> no. >> does he try to throw her out or anything? >> he absolutely wants her out. i think he secretly really loves her. but he's making her really tough by giving her a hard time at the moment. but it's making her a very tough patient little woman. >> yeah. it's good. siblings are the best. thank you so much for being here o live olivia wilde. the official opening is june 22nd, check it out. coming up, our style squad has assembled their must-have picks for fath we're back now, 8:39 with a special father's day edition style squad. and we have great gifts for dads of all ages thanks to the style squad. jill martin, lilliana marquez, and we'll get to these people in a second. we'll start with the father/daughter swimsuits. they offer coordinating styles for the whole family, so not only matching father and son. but even mom can get in on it. it is father/daughter here, but my husband and daughter miles are wearing the coordinating -- you can get the full body which is great for a little one or the matching shorts. it is really great. i love the style. super practical and affordable price point. >> nice job. now these are water-resistant swimsuits. it sounds like an oyxmoron. >> new technology is out there. frank anthony, this is going to repel 95% of the water. check that out. it's never wet. >> so you keep going in the pool and keep coming out and the suit is dry. >> and they have women styles, too. but this is a great fashion-forward digital prints for dad. love this brand. it's the fastest drying swimwear. >> very good. golf, now you're speaking my language. >> i had you in mind. you have your shoes usually rolling in the trunk. but this is a great golf organizer. under 50 bucks from picnic and ascot. you can have the shirt and shoes ready to go. >> it is nice because there's a vent that your shoes can dry out after playing on a hot day. and check out the pocket rounds. >> i am a huge and if of sebastian gray. not the traditional square pocket. this is easy to tuck and fit into the pocket. and then what you're picking up, great collar stays with quotes. and it is an uber slim wallet that holds everything in a suit jacket for someone like you. >> you have father /son underwer and father/son socks. >> it has matching styles for the little guy. and they have little guy socks to go with dad. >> nicely done. thank you very much. let's go to carson. thanks, matt. i'm here with jill martin and to start off with more ideas for sunday, father's day. this is a great sentimental gift. a book. tell me more. >> we are going to eat and drink our way through this segment for an early father's day. but this looks like you have been planning for months. log on to cvs.com. when you get there, upload your photos. it takes a few minutes and pick it up the same day. leave yourself two hours before the store closes so you can do it today or tomorrow. so this is you. >> that's awesome. >> you can make an entire book. >> this is great if you're watching and you haven't done a gift yet. because you can do it in the same day. the photos you already have. >> look at the montage and the print. this is really amazing. we did one for all the "today" show dads and my dadaddy. >> and a way to dad's heart is through his stomach, we know that. >> i'm doing a morning breakfast and evening treat. these are metro. if you are on amazon prime, order them today. they will get there in time but you have to be on prime. everything we're about to show you is $50 or under. so let's go retro. you have the popcorn machine starting there. and then you can just get the little bins if you want to sort of have a movie night. and then a hot dog maker. it is really cool if you're having a barbecue instead of traditional barbecuing. and i love the way it looks. >> super fun. put it in the man cave or the office. >> and milkshakes. let's get to the last item. if golf is for matt, beer is my language. >> this is for the pool or if you're in a lake or in an ocean. you tie this up to your boat or raft and it is a floating beer cooler or for your kids, soda cooler. you asked how many beers it fits?

we're about to give him the surprise of his life. >> my father's name is melvin bradley. he's 64 years old. and retired. you know, he started working when he was 16 years old. he graduated from high school and went straight into the military. he was a meteorologist in the air force. and that's what i remember the most is, like, my dad always did weather. he lived in germany for four years and it was just me and him. and that was probably some of the most precious time that i've ever had in my entire life. we hung out and, you know, he had to learn how to do a girl's hair. and deal with girl drama. >> they expect their package to be delivered. >> he worked for fedex for 20 years doing meteorologist again. the cool story about fedex is there were no meteorology jobs open. so he started working in the hub in memphis like you see on tv, late nights, you know, moving packages. and he moved up from, you know, working meteorology to being a manager before he retired. there was an opportunity to work for a local memphis station doing the morning weather cut-ins. >> well, we're starting off this morning with pretty mild temperatures. >> it was so neat to, like, wake up and see my dad on tv giving the weather for all of memphis. my dad and my stepmom got married september 1st, 2001. i can honestly say when he met her, his entire life changed. i have never seen two people that, while they met later in life, it's as if they have known each other since they were kids. so we have five kids and 11 total grandkids from 6 to 21. he absolutely loves all of his grandkids. and would do anything in the world for them. everywhere he's gone, he's had a grill. and it's really neat to see him pass that down to my son who now enjoys grilling and wants to learn to grill like his grandfather. i've never experienced a love like i have for my dad. you mean the world to all of us. and i hope you enjoy this father's day. >> reporter: all righty. well, we are pulling up right now in a fedex truck to melvin bradley's house. i don't think he knows exactly -- i can see him there standing with his family, his grandchildren, his wife, his daughter. and i think we're going to surprise him. all right. melvin bradley, how are you? >> i'm good. how are you? >> i have a fedex surprise for you. >> i don't believe it. i don't believe it. surprise, surprise. >> you are live on the "today" show right now. >> am i on the "today" show? >> you are. you can blame this young lady. >> you did this, didn't you? >> you thought we were about to do a commercial for fedex employees. i see you have your hat on. well, first of all, i wanted to meet you because i finally can meet somebody that knows how to do the weather. but not only that, but this young man behind you, do you know who this is? >> no idea. >> this is chris lily, world champion barbecue mavin. >> is that right? >> that's right. and he, you and i are going to do a cooking segment grilling your world famous ribs live on the "today" show. >> that will work. >> are you surprised? >> no, i'm not. i'm in weather, you're never surprised. >> well, what makes him such a great dad? >> he's just been so loving and just so caring. and he's giving great advice and just an amazing grandfather. >> melvin bradley, happy father's day a little early. we'll be grilling with you. we've got more from palm coast, florida, and the rest of the "today" show coming up. but first, this is "today" on nbc. all right. welcome back, everyone. we talked to green.nwyneth paltd now she's joined by jessica alba and will.i.am. >> they are here to co-host next hour. they are excited to hear that. >> it's news to them. >> we just dropped that on them right now. they are going to tell us about apple's first original series, the tech giant is entering reality television. >> it's called planet of the apps following in the aspiring app developer that is compete for the million-dollar start-ups. hi, kids. first of all, i like your outfit. >> thank you. >> tell us about the planet of the apps. >> well -- >> i feel like gary is really good. >> go. >> go, gary, go. >> thank you, guys. i think to show where we are looking at the reality of this new ecosystem that dominates our society, apps for culture. and we are looking at people pitching to us. we're mentoring, getting them prepared and pitching it to try to raise -- >> like an escalator, you have to say it fast. >> they have to compete for them to join our team. so we each have a team and compete for them to join our team. we mentor them for a couple of months and then they go in front of one of the top people in the world. and you see them in all of our offices because we mentor them while we're at work. so they get to see the type of people, how we operate our businesses. >> a cool concept. >> so it's a raw app at first. we are trying to add our two, three, four, five cents. >> sounds like "the voice" of silicon valley. nbc 10 news starts now. good thursday morning. a couple minutes before 9:00. i'm tracy davidson. let's check with bill henley with the most accurate neighborhood forecast. >> not bad at all. the humidity is low, temperatures are climbing in spite of mostly cloudy skies in easton. there are some breaks of sunshine. you'll see more of those during the day. what we won't see is rain showers. even though there's clouds around, it st dry. the temperatures are climbing. 70 in philadelphia, wilmington, trenton, 71 in allentown and 60s in south jersey, warm up to the 70s for jersey and 80 in philadelphia. check the roads with jessica boyington. >> we're seeing delays and we're watching a disabled vehicle. here it is right around eighth street. the delays aren't on the eastbound side past this disabled vehicle here. moving towards 95, no problems, we're seeing delays on the westbound side that was an earlier disabled vehicle around the ben franklin parkway area. but that's now clear. this is around 95 right around washington avenue, an accident where the two left lanes are blocked. today funeral services will be held for a 1-year-old boy who police say was raped and killed in philadelphia. found unresponsive at a home on south conestoga street. the boy's father faces charges that he murdered and sexually assault the child. a bill to prohibit municipalities from taxing or banning the grocery bags. it will protect jobs. but taxes and bans on bags can help communities fight litter. i'm tracy davidson. another update in 25 minutes. you can stay updated on the latest news and weather with the free nbc 10 app. to that end, the faith-based initiative offers. this morning on "today's take," will.i.am, gwyneth paltrow are our celebrity co-hosts. and then our summer dos and don'ts. and we're throwing a full-on animal house party coming up now. >> from nbc news, this is "today's take" live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> it is 9:00 on the dot here on the east coast. welcome to "today" on this thursday morning, june 15, 2017. we hear the music and are listening to "i've got a feeling" by the black eyed peas. >> can we turn that up?

jessica? >> how did we all get involved? well, it was will's idea, really. >> yeah. a year and a half ago, ben silverman and howard owens approached me about the show. >> and they come from -- >> they come from tv. they are, like, big tv guys. i told them, hey, why don't we go to apple and pitch it to apple. so i flew up to apple to pitch them the idea. then everyone started throwing around ideas and never thought gwyneth paltrow, jessica alba and gary v. would be here. >> we know about the elevator pitch. but in this show, the contestants ride down the escalator pitching their ideas. >> it is kind of genius. >> that's a ben and howard thing. the production team jumped in to figure that out. when you have a limited amount of time, a lot of people don't realize a lot of the pitches, they may be scheduled for 30 minutes. by the time the meeting starts, the reality is you have a couple minutes to convince someone to change your life in real life. and we replicate that with the escalator. >> how does it work? they come down the escalator and give them your pitch. then do you choose if you like it and they become on your team, you're a mentor? >> we have to pitch against each other. >> then we all compete if we all want the same person to join our team. and we try to convince them to join our team. >> so does it get competitive?
