Matt has the morning off. So willie geist is filling in. Good to be with you all. Another big story were going to be talking about this morning, California Chrome failing to win the triple crown at the belmont. A lot of people talked about the interview that steve coburn gave afterward. Hes one of the coowners of California Chrome. Fiery, going after the owners of the winner tonalist. Were going to talk to bob costas about that in just a couple minutes. A lot of people are saying, the comments of a sore loser or is he making a good point . Well talk to bob in a few minutes. But were going to get to todays top story. That deadly shooting in las vegas. It all started when two Police Officers were deliberately ambushed as they sat down for lunch. Nbcs mike taibbi has the latest. Reporter it began at a pizza restaurant on the north side of las vegas. 11 22 in the morning and two suspects, a man and a woman, walked up to two metro Police Officers and opened fire at pointblank range. What precipitated this event, we do not know. My officers were simply having lunch when the shooting started. Reporter shot dead in the line of duty, 41yearold alyn beck, and 31yearold igor soldo, both with young children. Police say a witness said one of the suspects shouted this is the start of the revolution and that both suspects then stripped the officers of weapons and ammunition before they left the restaurant, crossed the parking lot to a walmart store, and shot and killed a civilian they confronted by the entrance. Police say the two suspects then entered the store, exchanged gunfire with the first police to respond, and then ended the lethal episode with an apparent suicide pact. The female suspect shot the male suspect, then took her own life. Reporter as the drama unfolded, there was panic in the store. A lot of people ran to the bathrooms. A lot of people, you know, scared. Reporter and a claim by the suspects, a store employee said, that they had targeted the two Police Officers. They said the revolution has begun. They said they shot some officers, and basically get out of the store if you dont want to get hurt. Reporter the stores employees were all bussed to a secure location, where according to one twitter posting, they would be evaluated for stress. A walmart statement called the shootings a senseless act of violence, adding that the store will remain closed during what is still an active investigation. The Las Vegas Review journal quotes Police Sources this morning as saying the suspects were antigovernment conspiracy buffs and threatened to kill cops and that after shooting these two officers, they draped the bodies with a banner featuring a coil snake and the words dont tread on me. Savannah . Mike taibbi on the case in las vegas this morning. Thank you. Were learning more this morning about the conditions faced by Sergeant Bowe bergdahl during his captivity in afghanistan. While in washington, the debate rages on over the controversial deal that led to his release. Nbcs Richard Engel is in landstuhl, germany, once again this morning. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. Sergeant bergdahl has begun to tell his story to u. S. Military officials. Its been nine days since he was freed from captivity, but he still hasnt spoken to his parents, who are now receiving Death Threats. Bergdahl has told military officials his captivity was a terrifying and lonely ordeal, with long periods of solitary confinement that only got worse when he tried to escape. He was locked in a tiny space like a box, kept in the dark, treated harshly. But did the Obama Administration pay too high a price to release him . Was his swap for five taliban leaders illegal, and will the freed men return to the battlefield . Im not telling you that they dont have some ability at some point to go back and get involved, but they also have an ability to get killed doing that. Reporter fellow soldiers accuse bergdahl of deliberately wandering off his base five years ago. The army has launched an inquiry. We want this soldier to come home, be interrogated by an expert, and lets get all the facts on the table. They will make judgments, they will evaluate it, and if he needs to be tried in a military court, he will be. Reporter public reaction has been swift, and now turns threatening. The fbi confirming bergdahls parents have received Death Threats and are reportedly under police protection. Theyve not been seen publicly since returning to hailey, idaho, following the rose garden reception. Bowe has a good heart and its going to come out somethings going to come out that will exonerate him, i believe. Reporter the taliban have also been remarkably talkative about bergdahl. They say they never kidnapped him, they were surprised to find him alone outside his base. They said that bergdahl never wanted to join up with the militant group, never tried to convert to islam, but that he was speaking angrily about other soldiers. The taliban says they found the whole thing so unusual, they were initially suspicious of bergdahl and thought he had been specifically planted there by other u. S. Troops to spy on them. More than a week since his release and still a lot of questions. Richard engel in germany this morning. Thanks, richard. Lets turn to natalie for the story of a brazen terror attack in a major city. The taliban claiming responsibility for an attack on pakistans busiest airport. The assault claimed dozens of lives and shut down the airport for hours. Nbcs keir simmons has the details. Keir, good morning. Reporter good morning. The largest airport in pakistan was burning through the night, a stunning attack on the cargo terminal of karachi airport. At least 23 people have been killed, ten of them militants. The attack clearly planned. The attackers disguised themselves as airport security. This morning, five hours after fighting, the flames are being extinguished, but the raid leaves the peace talks in ashes and highlights the challenges the u. S. Faces with the taliban in both pakistan and neighboring afghanistan, natalie. All right, keir simmons monitoring the story for us from london. Thank you, keir. A historic prayer meeting at the vatican this morning joined palestinian president mahmo Mahmoud Abbas and israeli president simon peres joined pope francis to pray for peace. The vatican officials insist there was no political agenda behind the summit. The pope invited the two leaders to join him two weeks ago while he was visiting the holy land. The Canadian Military has now joined the massive search for three fugitives who escaped from prison saturday night by helicopter. Two of the inmates were awaiting trial on drug charges. Details on the third were not released. Police say the helicopter landed briefly at a prison near quebec, picked up the prisoners and flew west toward montreal. This is the second prison escape by chopper in canada in a little more than a year. And finally, the ac was on and so was lebron james during game two of the nba finals in san antonio. After being the butt of jokes for days because of his leg cramping during thursdays opener, james silenced his critics sunday night. He had 35 points, ten rebounds, helping to bring the heat to a 9896 victory over the spurs. The series is now tied. Game three tuesday in miami. Back and better than ever. Thats how you answer your critics. Natalie, thank you. Speaking of the heat, what are we looking at this week . No heat in the east, just a lot of rain. But weve got some heavy thunderstorms going on right now down through the southwest and into the plains. In fact, right now in dallas, theyve got a ground stop at the airport. We look at those heavy thunderstorms ahead of this front. Weve got that warm front pushing in, so we are going to be looking at strong storms today. In fact, those will push in through the southeast on into the gulf coast. Heavy storms wrapping in behind this low pressure here. So we are watching a risk of Severe Weather today, stretching from texas all the way up into western tennessee. Much of texas from san angelo on into memphis. Plus weve got flash flood watches in effect stretching from texas all the way into tennessee as well. Why . Well, some of these thunderstorms are going to drop upwards of three to five inches in an hour or two. Locally three to four inches of rain in a three to sixhour time period in parts of the southern plains, so were going to be watching this very closely for flash flooding. Were going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. 0 seconds. It whispers, one more game, one more swim, one more round.

Nbcs craig melvin is at the hospital in new jersey where morgan underwent surgery on sunday. Craig, good morning. Reporter willie, good morning to you. 45yearold tracy morgan is still in Critical Condition at this hospital. That surgery was on his leg yesterday. He broke a leg. He broke a thigh bone. He broke his nose. He also broke several ribs. But a rep for morgan told us yesterday that despite that, he is a bit more responsive than he has been, and that is an encouraging sign. A deadly scene on a new jersey highway early saturday morning. A tractortrailer slammed into a mercedes limo bus carrying comedian and actor tracy morgan and six others, tossing it on its side and sending it spinning into a truck and an suv. I was driving. I was facedown on the asphalt. Reporter morgans driver never saw it coming. It was unreal. I didnt know what happened. Shattering glass and things like that. It all happened so fast. Reporter tracy morgan was returning from this friday Night Performance at a delaware casino when his limo bus was struck. Also onboard, comedian ardie fuqua, who posted these videos on facebook right before the crash. Hes also in Critical Condition. Killed in that crash, morgans good friend and fellow comic, 63yearold james mcnair, better known as jimmy mack. Police say kevin roper was driving the walmart tractortrailer and didnt see traffic ahead in time. The 35yearold turned himself in to police shortly after the accident. Morgan burst on to the scene as an snl cast member, then became a star on nbcs 30 rock. You stayed because you love me. Reporter well wishes from worried fans and friends flooded social media. Lets hope for a full and speedy recovery for tracy and the others involved in that crash from 30 rock costar alec baldwin.

Hes been charged with death and assault by auto. Hes out on 50,000 bail. Tracy morgan is expected to be in this hospital for several weeks. Willie, savannah, back to you. We are all rooting for tracy. Everybody involved in the accident. Lets not forget jimmy mack, who lost his life. A great comedian and took a lot of young comedians under his wing, so were thinking about his family as well. Thanks so much. We move now to the controversy over California Chromes failed bid to win the triple crown on saturday. His owner is grabbing headlines for comments that are stirring up a lot of horse racing talk. Todays Dylan Dreyers got the story on that. Good morning to you. Good morning, guys. After his horse came up short, steve coburn lashed out, calling some fellow owners who only ran their horses in the belmont, cowards. Is the fiery coburn a sore loser or on to something that needs to change to end the triple crown drought . Theyre off in the Belmont Stakes. The Belmont Stakes didnt give us history saturday, but it did deliver controversy. This is the cowards way out. Just moments after favorite California Chromes triple crown dream faded, finishing in a tie for fourth it wont be a triple crown this year his coowner steve coburn didnt hold back in his postrace comments. Its not fair to these horses that have been in the game since day one. Coburn blamed a fresh field for the loss, as eight of the other ten horses chrome was up against had not competed in both the Kentucky Derby California Chrome shines bright and the preakness. California chrome has won the preakness in an interview this morning, coburn seemed to regret his harsh words. I need to apologize to the winners. They raced a good race. They deserved that. Belmont winner tonalist did not run either of the first two triple crown legs. His trainer conceded chromes fatigue was a disadvantage. Three races in five weeks. Theres something to be said about having a fresh horse. As did chromes disappointed jockey. Today, i feel like his energy was not the same like before. But racing against a fresh field is a hurdle that all 11 previous triple crown winners have also had to overcome. Affirmeds got a nose in front. And a major reason that the title has eluded every horse since affirmed, way back in 1978. With California Chromes loss saturday, the triple crown drought now stands at 36 years. In that span, he is the 13th horse to win the first two legs ile coming up short in the last and longest race at belmont park. Savannah . All right, dylan, thank you. Lets bring in bob costas. Bob, good morning to you. Hey, savannah. You were there. Lets set aside just for a moment the larger point that steve coburn makes. What about the timing of these remarks . Right after the win. He calls the other racers cowards. Was that bad timing . Bad timing, bad sportsmanship, sour grapes, sore loser, bad in every respect. Plus, hes not the only one. Of the 13 foiled bids, five of the horses that thwarted a triple crown in the belmont, five of them raced only in the belmont. Another five raced only in two of the three. Only three out of the 13 that won the belmont had run in all three of the races. So coburn and his connections, the rest of California Chromes connections are not alone in this frustration. So it wasnt a shining moment for him to be bringing it up right then. But, does he race a legitimate point about whether the deck is stacked against any horse who tries to do all three races . He raises a point that should be debated, and many people who know horse racing a lot better than i do come down on either side of the issue. There are those who say look, you have to have historical coherence, and thats why its so difficult to do. And if you change the format and make it a little bit easier, then you wont be able to compare whoever becomes the 12th triple crown winner to the 11 who have preceded that horse. But it is a fact that the last nine belmonts have all been won by horses that skipped the preakness. Fresher horses have an advantage. Do you think this will lead to change, or is this just a moment in time . It will lead to a debate, and like i say, ive spoken with people like our randy moss, whos part of our nbc coverage. Bob neumeier feels one way, leave it the way it is. Randy moss says leave it the way it is. Moss says modern horses are bred and trained. Theyre less durable, at least perceived to be less durable. And if you dont win the Kentucky Derby, many trainers say lets skip the preakness, we cant win the triple crown, well be fresh for the belmont. So if you spread it out, some people say, say you put a month in between, you still have the derby first saturday in may, then go four weeks to the preakness, then go another four weeks to the belmont, then horses will be fresher. And the counterargument to it would make it easier is, well, more quality horses would then enter the preakness. More quality horses would have an incentive or their trainers would to enter them in all three races, so the overall quality of the competition would be better. The debate continues. You just outlined why it is worthy of debate. Bob, always nice to see you early in the morning. Guys, back to you. Savannah, bob, thanks a lot. This has a lot of people talking online. It was a big talker for us. We were glued to that interview. Whats up in the orange room . Thats what the social media is still buzzing about. The Belmont Stakes and tonalists win over California Chrome. And the fact that tonalist didnt compete in the other two races. The Kentucky Derby or the preakness. And then goes on to win at the Belmont Stakes. California chrome competed in all three. So we asked online, is it fair that California Chrome lost to a horse that didnt run in the derby or the preakness . And 83 , the majority of you said no, its not fair because tonalist goes in and hes wellrested, whereas California Chromes a little more tired out. 17 said yes. And they said yes because, you know, these are the rules. This is what happens. And its almost like its too easy if there isnt that added challenge there. So 83 , though, are saying that it is not fair. So lets keep the conversation going. Go on to our facebook. Com today or orangeroom and we want to hear how you feel. Guys . All right, dylan, thank you very much. Coming up, what a scare. An alleged burglar arrested at Sandra Bullocks home while the oscar winner was there asleep with her young son.

Oakland mayor gene quan is turning to social media to fight off accusations shes to blame for a car crash in oakland. She was driving alone when he collided with another car.

She was inside her Los Angeles Home with her 4yearold son over the weekend when a man broke in. Sources tell nbc news the suspect may have been targeting the actress. Heres nbcs miguel almaguer. Reporter Sandra Bullock was all smiles saturday night at spike tvs guy choice awards, as her former costars presented her with a decade of hotness award. Im here because someone dropped out and they needed someone quickly and they know im home on saturdays. Reporter just a few hours later, Police Responded to bullocks 16 million home in los angeles, where they say 39yearold Joshua Corbett broke in early sunday morning, despite the security cameras and barbed wire surrounding the property. Law enforcement sources tell nbc news bullock and her fouryearold son louis were home while corbett was going through the house taking bullocks personal items. Sandra bullock is a very careful person, she takes precaution, she has great security. So the fact that this individual was somehow able to get on to her property is very alarming. Reporter Police Sources also say the breakin was not a random burglary and that corbett may have been obsessed with bullock, even keeping a diary on the Oscar Awardwinning actress. And if anyone tried to get to me, you would have stomped them, right . Reporter during her more than 20 years of making movies, bullock has faced serious real life threats from stalkers. In 2008, this woman admitted to stalking bullock after trying to run down her exhusband jesse james. And in 2010, bullock filed her third temporary restraining order against a 45yearold man accused of stalking the actress for more than ten years. He and i are getting married. Yes. We are. Getting married. Yes. Reporter in a statement, Sandra Bullocks publicist confirmed the breakin, saying the actress is unharmed and she is fine. For today, miguel almaguer, nbc news, los angeles.

As we get into the mid part of the week where that rain area expands out east on into the ohio river valley, great lakes. Look at this, above normal temperatures. Out west where you would expect, below normal in the midsection of the country. Wide swath of below normal temperatures, and it stays wet here in the northeast, midatlantic states, with warmer than usual temperatures in the northeast. We are looking for a risk of strong storms. Texas on into the Mississippi River valley today. Were going to be watching this very, very closely. Thats whats going on around the country. Heres whats happening in your neck of the woods. Good morning to you. Bay area. Temperatures out there are mild to start. We have plenty of 50s and 60s. 60 degrees in San Francisco. Youre at 61 for oakland. And 66 degrees down in mountain view. High pressure bringing in some hot temperatures today, especially out in the extreme east bay. Triple digits on the way for you, meanwhile, 70s and 80s at the coast for today. 101 out in the east bay. 77 in San Francisco. And 90 degrees today in the south bay. Hope you have a great one. And thats your latest weather. All right, al, thank you. Now to something happening in texas that really has people taking sides. Gun rights advocates demonstrating for their cause by openly carrying their weapons into crowded stores. Nbcs Kerry Sanders is in katy, texas. Kerry, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, savannah. If you are 18 years old or older here in texas, it is legal to carry a long barrelled rifle, a shotgun, as long as youre carrying it openly in a nonthreatening way. But when a group of gun enthusiasts and activists began carrying their long guns into places like restaurants and stores, it started a debate thats raging like a texas prairie fire. Going to do a little open carry at chilis, guys. Reporter you might say its hit texas with a bang. People suddenly showing up at restaurants with rifles. And at stores with militarystyle semiautomatics. All to make the point that in texas, this is perfectly legal. They also hope to persuade lawmakers here to support legislation that would allow holstered handguns to be carried openly. We want to make sure that gun rights is the number one issue when it comes to legislation. Reporter but for many, its not legality, its the reality. Of men and women openly armed in public. You cant yell fire in a crowded theater because it frightens everybody. Walking into a restaurant with a loaded rifle frightens people. Reporter last month, an official of the National Rifle association wrote on their website that the demonstrations were downright weird, but after open carry groups reacted angrily, the nra reversed itself. An alert went out that referred to this type of behavior as weird or somehow not normal. And that was a mistake. Reporter but for many here, its not about whats legal. Im against it because when you walk into a store, its my constitutional right to feel safe. Reporter several stores like sonic, chilis, chipotle, jack in the box and starbucks have all issued statements saying they would request the patrons not come to their establishments carrying long guns. Meantime, the advocacy group, the open carry group has suggested that they are maybe going to change their tactics and will only carry their rifles now into places where theyve been invited to do so by the business. Savannah . Kerry, thank you so much. Hot issue down in texas for sure. Coming up on trending, a man who learned a very tough lesson, dont mess with a stingray. Thats an incredible piece of video.

Eggs, bacon, cheese, estamos ademas regreso a las 75 dicen que ser un padre es su surveyed says being a dad is their most important job. 54 of dads with infants said they changed diapers only 37 of their fathers say they did. 51 of the dads said they would quit their job and stay home with the kids if they could afford it. Were not the only one interested in the modern dad. Today the white house is holding a working dad summit to explore a familiar topic for women, balancing jobs and kids. Daniel murphy missed opening day for the birth of his first child. I caught up with daniel on the road in philadelphia for an exclusive interview. I never thought i would be the one who just talks about their kid all the time. Daniel murphy is like most new dads. His son noah is just 10 weeks old and everything the little guy does is worthy of a story. The first solo diaper i had was day off in new york. I texted tori and said, boys day, no girls allowed. It was just me and him. Wandering the streets of new york. How did you do . Hes still breathing. As a Major League Baseball player, murphys family life recently was thrust into the spotlight. She went into labor, tori, on sunday. She held off till about 11 00 in the morning when i got there to have him. I was there monday, tuesday. Flew out wednesday. Daniel missed the first two games of the season to be at his wifes side for noahs birth. That didnt sit well with a handful of new york radio hosts. I dont know why you need three days off. Youre a Major League Baseball player. Can you hire a nurse to take care of the baby if your wife needs help. Get a csection. Boomer esiason later apologized. Mets organization rallied around murphy. Do you feel you had total support from this organization . Oh, total support from top down. Murphys have no regrets . Dod you have any thoughts to leave to be at the side of your wife and son . No. I dont think that crossed my mind or her mind. It became a flash point for the discussion of modern dads. Fathers are increasingly playing a role raising children, caring for children, doing work around the house and increasingly have challenges balancing work and family. Jason furman, father himself, is chairman of the council on Economic Affairs at the white house where today businesses and both working and stayathome dads are meeting about the changing roles of fathers. Figuring out how to make that balance work economically, how to make it work for families, is very important. Dads are always balancing this Work Life Balance.

And a michigan teenager walked 40 miles this weekend with his little brother on his back. 14yearold Hunter Gandee embarked on a twoday quest to raise awareness for Cerebral Palsy, the condition that keeps his brother braden from walking without help. Its an ambitious goal for anyone, walking 40 miles in two days with 50 pounds strapped to your back. For Hunter Gandee, that 50 pounds wasnt heavy, it was his 7yearold brother braden. The pair set off on saturday for the trek to ann arbor. Hunter says the walk was to raise awareness about Cerebral Palsy, the disorder that robbed his brother of the ability to walk on his own. When this first started, i really expected to inform the community and other people in bedford, but really its grown far, far beyond what i ever could have dreamed. What started out as a walk for two brothers, what hunter calls their Cerebral Palsy swagger, turned into a community event. Really couldnt explain enough how much this support has helped push us through. Weve had times where were not really sure, we werent sure if we could make it, but its all pushed us through. Thank you. Proof that no matter the journey, you never really walk alone. Honestly, i cant even explain how much i love braden. He really has helped me so much in life. Hes inspired me.

Were back at 8 10, and time for whats trending today with the tributes marking the 70th anniversary of dday wrapped up on sunday, the whole weekend was spectacular, but did you see this . This was an aerial spectacle. Nearly a thousand paratroopers dropped out of the skies of normandy, reenacting the drama of those historic landings. Let us tell you the story of one british vet. He went to extreme lengths because he wanted to be part of the celebration. Bernard jordan was told there was no room left on an official tour at the last minute, so he decided to take matters in his own hands. With his war medals pinned to his jacket, the 89yearold decided to go on his own. He slipped out of his nursing home, took a train, then a ferry. Were happy to report lieutenant jordan is safe and back in his nursing room, perhaps with a few stories to tell. What a hero. Still has that courage and moxy. Still got it. And the skills to speak out. Im surprised he didnt parachute down, too. He would have if he could have. That is amazing. If that doesnt prove what a vet can do, check out this next story. Its about a device called the tank chair invented by a combat veteran who refused to give up when his wife was partially paralyzed in a car accident, so this is what he came up with. Its a motorized chair that takes wheelchair to the next level, to say the least. Its armed with two motors and a tank chair can handle any terrain, rugged hillside, sandy beaches and snowy fields. Now, it starts at about 15,000. Even more remarkable, he has no formal engineering training, not even a college degree. He tells Bloomberg Business week that it took him two years and lots of beer to develop it. Thats the brilliance of lots of beer. Beer is the secret. Who knew . Amazing. So if you had any doubt that its not smart to taunt a giant stingray, heres the video that proves it. Off australias gold coast. See this guy trying to spook the creature by charging toward it. Hey, dope. Initially the stingray seems frightened. Glides away from the guy. But as soon as he turns back, you want a piece of me . Im coming for you. Come on, pal. So someone off camera warns this guy. Thats when now hes terrified. He dives away, just escaping a sting. And lucky for him, because stingray barbs can be fatal. I dont think he can swim faster, though. Just stay away. His back is toward him, and then the thing is coming up behind him. Its a stingray version of ropeadope. Dont poke the bear or the stingray. Thats the lesson. Thats whats trending today. Still ahead, tyler modern dads is brought to you by dove men plus care, celebrating the many ways dads care. As weve been mentioning all morning, were kicking off a special weeklong series, modern dads in honor of fathers day coming up on sunday. Were looking at what it means to be a dad today and how that role has changed in recent years. In fact, were working with dove men plus care and theyve created a new video that they hope will spark a conversation. Daddy . Dada. Daddy daddy daddy. Daddy. Dad dad . Dad . Daddy dad. Dad. Daddy daddy dad we were inspired this fathers day week to talk to some kids about why their dads are so special. Today contributing correspondent Jenna Bush Hager sat down with some of them while the men watched and listened. Tell me what your like about your dad. He makes me feel happy. Is he funny . Not really. Hes not funny . Is he strong . Yeah. How can you tell . Because once, i grabbed on to his arm and he pulled me up like a monkey bar. Hes the strongest person on earth. He takes me to fun places. Tell me what makes your dad super special. Everything. What do you want to be when you grow up . I want to be a hockey player. Singer. Make clothes for dogs and cats. What type of clothes would you make . Sparkly. Oh yes . I want to be a president. Everybody in my family is going to live with me. Oh, they are . In the white house . A big old house. How is your dad different than your mom . Because ones a boy and ones a girl. Well, obviously. A familys what . Fill in the blank. Happy. If you could tell your dad one thing, what would you say . I love you. How much do you love your dad . This much. I would say, i love you, daddy. What would you say . I love you, too, daddy. I love you. Youd say i love you, daddy . What would you say . I love you, too. I love you, daddy. And put a heart on it. So tell me what listening to your kids say all that about you made you feel . I was really touched. I think even had a couple tears. It was absolutely breathtaking, special, magical. Because being a father is the greatest thing in the world. What adjective would you use to describe yourself as a dad . You know, youve got to wear many hats as a dad. Got to be a husband, got to be a father, got to be a caregiver. Wipe the booboos and all that. Definitely stay energetic. We like to fit a lot of activities in a day. Its tag team. We dont have defined roles of my wife does one thing, i do another. Ones got one in the bath, ones cooking. It could be either one of us on a given day. What have you learned from them . Definitely patience. I have learned that i have to be a little more patient. Yes. Patience. A lot, a lot of patience. Ive learned patience. Tremendous patience. Do you feel like you get enough quality time with your kids . Very much so on the weekends. During the week on weekdays, he does not get enough time. Shes with me every other weekend and i do make sure that i dont work on weekends, that its purely family time. Its the single largest priority for me to be able to have that kind of time with them. Whats the biggest impact you can make in their life . I want them to grow up and be strong women, like their mother. She knows that she can do whatever she wants to be and achieve in life. To remember that daddys always there for them when they need me, and theyre my whole world. Theyre the most important people in my life. Happy fathers day were joined now by rob candelino, Vice President of marketing for dove men plus care. And from washington, brad harrington, the executive director of the Boston College center where work and family and an adviser on dove rese good morning. We watched that video, very moving as father. Whats the message you all are trying to make . I guess when we began the work, what we realized was we werent setting out to make a fathers day video. We really wanted to make a film about fatherhood. So we did what we always do at dove and talked to a lot of dads, did a Large Scale Research study and we learned that while dads increasingly are seeing their roles expand at home, that role of diaper changer, lunch maker, chauffeur, homework helper isnt whats being reflected back to them in the media. Frankly, theyre seeing the role expand, but advertising, tv and the movies arent depicting that back to that. Brad, we know anecdotally the role of the father has changed, but you all have some research to back that up, dont you . Yes, we do. I think theres been a lot of research by our organization and by others which show that dads have tripled their involvement in caregiving. Theyve tripled their involvement in domestic care over the last generation and they really see their role these days as an equal split between providing financially for their family and caring for their familys emotional needs as well. And youre at a Conference Today being held at the white house about fatherhood and the changing role of dads. I want to throw some numbers at you, rob. 3 out of 4 dads say theyre responsible for their childs emotional wellbeing. Only 20 of dads, though, see this role reflected in the media. Do you think thats changing now, the role of fathers and the way theyre portrayed, at least . We hope so. Clearly theres a job to be done. Theres a gap between what is actually happening and kitchen tables and backyards in this country and how men are seeing themselves reflected back in the media. Thats what inspired us to create this film, to be honest. Success for us will be when we dont have to make films like this. When the depiction of men in media and advertising in general starts to catch up with the reality of how dads are contributing significantly to the homes and to their kids today. Brad, we often talk about this Work Life Balance for mothers. But obviously this is for fathers nowadays, too. Lets talk some solutions. What can we do better as dads and how can we Work Together in society to talk about this in terms of men and not just for women . Well, i think the work that rob and the team at dove are doing is important and thats one of the reasons we wanted to work with them, so that media depictions and society as a whole came to really accept fathers for this new role theyre taking on. In our surveys, almost 70 of fathers say they want to share caregiving equally with their wives but they find its a struggle to do that and oftentimes its because the organizations they work for just arent ready to accept that a fathers role in the family is just as important as a womans role these days. Rob, if this Campaign Dove for mens care is successful, what do you want to happen in the end . We hope to inspire other advertisers. We hope to change the narrative. Were very passionate about moving on from traditional outdated stereotypes and we hope if we can play a small role at dove men plus care in changing and providing a more positive, affirmative, realistic authentic portrait of dads, we will have been successful. Rob, brad, good luck at the Conference Today. Thanks for helping us kick off this week. Dove men plus care has also created realdadmoments. Dylan is in the orange room with more on that. Hey, dylan. We asked you over the weekend to send us some of your favorite pictures of those real dad moments, and our response was overwhelming. Take a look at this one sent in on facebook from cassidy morgan.

Matt was the dad driving the minivan. Al was in shotgun. Carson and i were in the back seat throwing stuff at dad. Al, youve been saying this for as long as ive known you that you always have this image in the media of these bumbling dads and thats not like you or any of the dads we know. No, were not morons. We actually do know how to raise our kids. For example, you bring your kid in and oh, youre babysitting today . No. Or congratulations on the baby. Do you change diapers . Yes, we change diapers. Up next, we have a big surprise lined up for one welldeserving father of six. This is a wonderful story. But first, your local news. Good morning. Its 8 26. A report by the Sacramento Bee said we will probably spend millions of dollars repairing the bay bridge. The report says the department of transportation picked a chinese contractor that had no experience building bridges. Officials apparently thought the company would be the fastest and the cheapest. But the report also found that in order to get things done quickly, much of the work would not meet codes and would probably have to be fixed down the road. Speaking of roadway and bridges, lets go to mike and look at the traffic report. No big issues as far as incidents on the bay bridge. Lets show you on the peninsula southbound 101 through palo alto, thats bogged down. Typical patterns, bottom of your screen, the south bay, northbound, lighter than typical monday.

All this week, were highlighting some Pretty Amazing fathers, like bruce marek, a father of six and a proud grandfather of ten. Here is his story in the words of his only daughter susanna. Hes so special. Hes a special, special dad. And everybodys got a special dad. I know that. But not everyone has a selfless dad. Hes always been so humble and have a smile on his face. Its been such a great example. My mom was diagnosed with ms around 27. My mom really started to really deteriorate after shed have a couple ms attacks, shed start to lose the ability to feed herself. During that time, my father was working fulltime and he was taking care of her and taking care of us. He just never, never complained. Ever. It was a stressful time, but i think that my dads encouragement and his smile was always something that uplifted our spirits. My mom lives in a mom, about an hour away from my dad. My dad still drives out to see her almost every day. But i just think its so beautiful that he does that. Its so selfless. I am so grateful to call you my father. I love you so much. Bruce is here along with susanna. Bruce, we brought you here under false pretenses. You did. We told you we want to talk about caring for someone with ms, and that is certainly part of your story, but really its your daughter who wanted to pay tribute to you.

Were back now at 8 39 with one of the hardestworking men in hollywood. Tyler perry acts, directs, produces, he writes. That would be me. Thats you. Now hes adding a new title to the list, narrator. He lends his voice to the new documentary spent looking for change about the millions of americans overlooked in our current economic and Banking System. Always good to see you. Welcome. Good morning, willie, how are you . Im doing well. We want to talk about all your many projects. You partnered up with American Express to talk about a problem i dont think a lot of americans are aware of, and that is 70 million, 70, americans live outside the traditional Banking System. Lets talk first about what that means exactly. What that means is about 89 billion is being spent on systems like check cashing, payday loans, or all of these Different Services outside of the regular Banking System. And there are so many people that are becoming someone said this, i thought it was very interesting. They said its very expensive to be poor. I think that a lot of people who are going through a lot of things and dealing with just trying to not living above their means, but just trying to make ends meet are faced with some pretty tragic and dire situations here, and turning to these different kinds of companies. I think a lot of people who watch this film, who do live in the traditional Banking System, will say why dont they just go get Bank Accounts . And its not that easy. These are not people who want to be going to the payday loan store. Its that they cant have a bank account. When you see the documentary this is why im so grateful for American Express doing this. Not that i dont have enough to do. I wanted to be a part of it because it lets all of america know that listen, this is happening every day. And these are hardworking people, one thing leads to another and they find themselves in these situations and are outside of a Banking System that changes their entire lives. Theres one woman, actually were looking at it right there, her name is tiffany. You can pick any one of these stories. Theyre all incredible stories. But she has something come up in her life, something unforeseen. Forces her to step out from her job and it causes a Ripple Effect in her life. Talk a little bit about tiffany. Shes a nurse. She has many degrees. Her mother got cancer. She stopped working to take care of her. She had to do a payday loan and title on a car and take her daughter out of private school. She lost everything just because of what was happening in her life. And this is a woman who worked very, very hard and earned and saved and just found herself in a very difficult situation. So the point in this documentary, its a really short one, you can find it on youtube, it speaks to everybody just to let them know that this is what happens for so Many Americans when you fall outside of the traditional Banking System. Yeah, its an incredible film. It will move a lot of people. Opened some eyes. Education about it is key. Lets talk about another one of your projects. We can spend all day talking about your projects. Gone girl. This is a book that people love. Theres an entire cult following for this book. And now youre doing the film with ben affleck and mr. Fincher. You call this the most educational, aweinspiring thing ive ever done. Thats a big statement for somebody whos done what youve done. Why do you say that . Working with david fincher, first of all, hes a brilliant, brilliant director. Hes always looking for something. Until he gets it, he doesnt move on. I have so much respect for him. It was just a joy to work with him. And, you know, hanging out with ben affleck every day and watching this guy work, he is who you think he is. Just this great, wonderful guy. He loves his wife. Theyre really wonderful. It was a great experience. So people are going to love the movie. Its really powerful. You played bens defense attorney in this film. Yeah. Talk about your character. I play tanner bolt, this bombastic really overthetop attorney who helps him figure out this path to innocence or guilt. So youll have to see the movie to see what happens. Its obviously going to be a big hit, as most things are that you touch, it turns to gold. Tyler perry, thank you very much. Thank you. The documentary is called spent. Weve got more information on our website, today. Com. Coming up next, from broadway to the big screen, the cast of the new movie jersey boys. But first, this is today on nbc. And this journey plays every out all summer long during the Emirates Airline us open series. Dont miss your chance to see some of the top players in the world battle it out to see whos best. 5 weeks. 8 tournaments. 8 cities. Which champion will prevail, which new hero will emerge . This is your chance to find out. Tickets are on sale now at emiratesusopenseries. Com one of broadways most popular musicals is heading to the big screen. Thats right. The tonywinning hit jersey boys has now been turned into a movie directed by oscar winner Clint Eastwood. Who loves you pretty mama whos always there to make it right who loves you pretty baby whos gonna help you through the night and the stars of the film are with us now, john lloyd young, vincent piazza, michael lamenda and erich bergen. Good morning to you all. Or should i say good evening because i heard you were all at the tonys. An Early Morning for us. We havent quite gone to bed yet, but what better way to wake up than this. You guys are worth it. People love jersey boys. We know of your portrayal on broadway. But i dont necessarily put Clint Eastwood and jersey boys together. Were you surprised by that . At first, and then i realized i think he was the best director for it because he did that jazz biography of charlie porker with forest whittaker years ago and he knows music and he understands working class east coast guys. So it was a really good fit. Any intimidation onset . Here walks dirty harry, here comes Clint Eastwood. Scary at all . Yeah, a little bit, but hes sort of an instantly disarming kind of guy. He creates a relaxed vibe on set. So it makes it fun to go to work and get your hands dirty. You played this role on broadway. Not all of you had singing and dancingexperience, right . Just me. Sorry, vincent, let me single you out. We know you from boardwalk empire. So when they came to you with this role, do you feel like i can do this . There was a little bit of fear right at the top of it whether id be able to live up to it, but luckily i had these guys support and the team that jersey boys sicked on me. Just trying to fit in. Without giving away too much, a little bit of the story, erich. I think people know the music but they dont always know the back story, where these guys came from and what the struggle was like. Absolutely. Unlike a lot of the bands of today, one direction, groups like that where we know so much about them and what they had for breakfast, the four seasons and Frankie Valli came up in a time when there was a shiny image that the record label certainly wanted to put out for p. R. Sake. Now were sort of getting the story behind the music, which was certainly not pretty. There are ties to the mob, and it gets very dark at times, but its this incredible story of pushing through it all. And of course, Frankie Valli himself is still on the road today. So whats amazing about jersey boys is that even though the movie ends, the story is far from over and it continues to go on. Im just being told in my ear, one direction had fruit loops for breakfast. The story is so powerful, but the music is irresistible. It is. Thats sort of what gets people in the seats. And the story keeps them coming back. The music is timeless, its good pop music. I think its artist like the fujis are making it because it is a good tune. Its just good music. Were so glad to have you this morning, especially after the big night at the tonys. It was a fun night. Oh, dish. At commercial i will. Yes, exactly. Jo john, vincent, michael, and erich, thank you so much. Natalie will have an interview with Clint Eastwood tomorrow on today. Were back in a moment.

I shouldnt be asking this question, but guys, whats coming up on our next hour . Tell us, willie. Weve got todays take. Going to be delving into again a little bit more about what happened at the belmont. Yes, steve coburn, the coowner. The rant heard round the world. And given the chance yesterday on the today show, by the way, to walk back and maybe think cooler heads would prevail. He went in for round two. Hes kind of backing off today. If you notice at one point, his wife is, like yes. Im talking right now was he like that . Very much like that. How many times have you gotten that little pat. Honey. Ive never turned on my wife like that because thats not a good move. He knew he had lightning in a bottle at that moment. Were also going to do some great breakfast starters with joy bauer.

Hot in the trivalley. 88 for the peninsula, 90 degrees in the south bay and 93 out in the north bay. Bigtime cooldown as of tomorrow. From nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this monday morning. It is not pretty out here in new york city. Its june 9th, 2014. But again, those diehard fans out on the plaza. Yes, all morning long. All morning. They are incredible. It looks like its let up maybe a little bit for them. Hopefully. Starting to mildew. Im willie geist along with al roker. Natalie morales. Tamron has the day off. Lets get right into the news. Weve been talking about this story for a week now at least. Its been nine days since Bowe Bergdahls release. Hes been telling Army Officials about his time in captivity where he was held by the taliban. Bergdahl says it was a terrifying and lonely ordeal with long periods of solitary confineme confinement. He says when he tried to escape, he was recaptured, confined in a tiny space like a box and kept in the dark. Hes still recovering at a Military Hospital in germany, although hes permitted to talk to his parents any time he wants, were told he still has chosen not to call them. The fbi confirmed bergdahls parents have received Death Threats and they are now reportedly under police protection. Theyve not been seen publicly actually since returning to hailey, idaho, their hometown following their rose garden ceremony with the president last week. The taliban has revealed more about bergdahl, telling nbc news they never kidnapped him, and were surprised to find him alone off base. The taliban said bergdahl didnt want to yojoin the militants or convert to islam, but did express anger at fellow soldiers. The taliban were thinking they deliberately sent bergdahl to spy on them. More questions than answers. A lot of questions. Whats interesting is the fact that hes chosen not to call his family, even though hes been given permission to. You wonder is that because he is still in a Mental Health aspect of this . Is he being treated . We know hes being treated. But it just seems like now hes talking about the ordeal. Youd think that would be the first phone call you would make. Like so much of this story, its very difficult to judge from afar. We dont know whats going on with him, with his family. You do think as a person that one of the first phone calls if you had the chance would be to mom and dad. But who knows . We dont know. Heres something more cutanddry, i think. Maybe not. I dont know that its so difficult. If you watched the belmont on saturday, we watched it as a family. It was really exciting. I mean, California Chrome, obviously coming up short. Tying for fourth place. And then it came time for some postrace interviews, and California Chromes owner getting a lot of heat this morning, his postrace comments after his horse finishes a disappointing fourth. Its all or nothing. This is not fair to these horses that have been running their guts out for these people and for the people that believe in them, to have somebody come up this is a cowards way out in my opinion. This is a cowards way out. If youve got a horse that earns points running the Kentucky Derby, those 20 horses that start in kentucky are the only 20 eligible to run in all three races. This is the cowards way out. Steve, i know its a tough loss. We hope to see him down the road. There it is. Wife kind of leans in. You know, sweetie, you might want to wow. I mean, dude really. First of all, its not like its a new rule. So you think its total sour grapes . I think its complete sour grapes. You know what . Your horse gave it a good shot. Didnt make it. This is the way of the sport. I mean, its been 36 years. Youve got the bargain of the century with this horse. You won the preakness, you won the Kentucky Derby. Made a heck of a lot of money. Youre going to make millions in stud fees. And the horse will, too. But instead, you turn on people. Its like, come on. Just stop. We should explain what hes talking about. The winner tonalist didnt run either of the first two legs of the triple crown. So the horse is fresh. Just shows up for the belmont. The trainer conceded that chromes fatigue was a disadvantage, but there were other horses who had been in the first two. Exactly. Come on. I think, to me, he has a point if he wants to make that point. Right in the heat of that moment is not the time. Be gracious, congratulate the winner. And its been this is the way it works. Its not like its a surprise. His horse got a break with the breathe right strips. Come on. All right . The nasal strips. The jockey had the nasal strips. He i think should have been wearing a nasal strip. Maybe more oxygen would have gotten to his brain. Look, this morning, he did apologize a little bit. But come on. This is about sportsmanship. Its interesting, i think bob costas did make the point, and a couple people have raised this in the horse racing world, that the last nine belmont winners came in as horses with fresh legs. So there is case for i mean, it is the test of champions, as they say on the traffic. It is the longest, almost a mile and a half long. If thats a problem, get him a cab, i dont know. Come on. Theres a reason no ones done it since 1978. Exactly. Its the holy grail of horse racing. I mean, to get there, it takes that special horse. You just know California Chromes thinking, you think its so easy . Why dont you run this thing . Meanwhile, the poor horse had a gashed hoof before the race. Going to be fine, but clearly, itas not his day. Not his day. To Steve Coburn Wilfred bremley was mad in that interview. I kept seeing wilfred bremley at the track. Another story is Sandra Bullock and her 4yearold son louis. They did have a scary incident over the weekend. Sunday, somebody broke into their l. A. Home. Law enforcement responded around 6 30 in the morning. Sources telling nbc news this wasnt just a random breakin. The suspect apparently 39yearold Joshua Corbett may have actually been targeting the actress. Corbett was allegedly going through the house, taking her personal items while they were there sleeping. And Police Sources say corbett may have been obsessed with sandra, even keeping a diary on her. Whats most amazing is somehow he got past her she has state of the art security. She has cameras all around her house. Barbed wire all around her property as well. Pretty scary that she took all the necessary measures but somebody got through those extra layers of security. Its not the first time shes been targeted. Shes had incidents with stalkers in the past. Fortunately, the actress is unarmed. Shes fine. And sandra, by the way, on saturday night had a fun event that she had been at. She was at spike tvs guys choice awards, winning the decade of hotness prize. Wow. You won that in the 90s. I won 12 seconds of hotness. It was because literally the airconditioning was off. Kind of the lebron james of weather. No, theres no hotness. This is pretty scary, though, when you consider the layers of security that Sandra Bullock has. Shes got security guards. The whole setup. Shes got the whole setup. Somebody in your house. If somebody has a will, unfortunately thank goodness, shes had in the past, shes dealt with this, so she has experience with this. But shes fine and thats the great thing. Thats all that matters. But they were there at home when this was happening. Thats the scary part. I have to show you this piece of tape. This is a Kansas City Royals game. This is a ball boys blunder, were calling this one. Theyve got the ball boy, or the ball girl down either fall line. They scoop up the foul ball. Once in a while, its a fair ball. And youre not sure what to do about it. Heres the Kansas City Royals over the weekend. Roberts hits one inside first and down the rightfield line. The ball boy touches the ball and he should not have. Oblivious to the fact that it was fair. Just found out the truth. Uhoh. Hit it hard and sometimes borderline dirty. Foul ball. And the ball boy want no, sir part of that. Didnt even move. He wanted to make sure. Thats tough. I feel bad for this kid. Come on. When steve coburn went after him, that was a bit much. Did he do this thing with his wife. Dont touch the ball thats like your favorite of all time. Yelling at people. What did his wife say when they got home . Oh. Dont ever shush your wife. Thats a bad move. You can do anything. Dont shush your wife. Another thing not good, weve got heavy thunderstorms making their way through the southern plains. Dallas has had a ground stop, some heavy thunderstorms there, things lightening up a bit. Ground delays also in new york city. So were watching this system pushing through. It is going to take its own sweet time making its way through the gulf coast. Back behind this low pressure system, more heavy thunderstorms are going to fire up. So we do have a fairly wide swath of Severe Weather today. Wet weather from the great lakes all the way down to texas, but a risk of strong storms. Dallas, houston, on into memphis, corpus christi, well be watching that. Besides a chance of isolated tornados, hail and damaging winds, weve got a lot of heavy rain, so flash flood watches, flash flood warnings, mainly because were talking on top of whats already fallen another two to three inches, some areas locally up to four inches of rain in about three to six hours, and the storm system, the drain systems cant take that, so were going to be watching that as well during happy monday to you. High pressure firmly in control for today. Thats going to bring around a very hot temperature into your east bay valley spots. Well be in the 90s in the south bay. 70s and 80s at the coast for today. Temperatures are going to stay hot for just today. By tomorrow, were going to drop about ten degrees. Then were going to keep that cooling going all the way into the end of the week. Back to average, in fact, as of wednesday. Hope you have a fantastic start to the week. And thats your latest weather. The warm weather is here, that means so are the mosquitos and ticks. They can be more harmful to your health than you think. Were going to show you how to protect your family right after this. Honey bunches of oats its got grains, which i like.

My dentist has told me your enamel is wearing away, and that sounded really scary to me, and i was like well can you fix it, can you paint it back on, and he explained that it was not something that grows back, its kind of a onetime shot and you have to care for it. He told me to use pronamel. Its going to help protect the enamel in your teeth. It allows me to continue to drink my coffee and to eat healthier, and it was a real easy switch to make.

But here at chobani, we think Mother Nature is sweet enough. Introducing chobani simply 100. With summer just around the coroner, youll probably be spending a lot more time outdoors, which means exposure to all kinds of pests. Besides being a nuisance, they can also be dangerous. Weve seen headlines, everything from mosquito bites causing fever, to a professional Football Player being quarantined after a mosquito bite. Here to help you stay protected, missy hendrickson, and david pryor, a doctor of internal medicine and corporate medical director here at corporate nbc universal. Let me start some of the things weve been talking about with these pests have to do with the summer pests. What are the most dangerous threats to us right now, what should we be doing to protect ourselves . Most of us really associate west nile virus with mosquitos. Were starting to hear a lot more about other mosquitoborne illnesses. Chicken gunya is something most of us are still learning to pronounce, but its something well be becoming a lot more familiar with. It can affect your bones and joints. Very painful. The cdc said in the case of chikungunya, its usually somebody thats been out of the country bringing it back in here. Thats very important. This is caused from a bite from a mosquito. Weve seen it many years in africa, southeast asia, but about six months ago we started to see it in the caribbean. Weve seen about 18 cases in florida in 2014, but all these cases have been people who have traveled to the caribbean, other countries. But the big threat is that we might start seeing some local transmission here in the United States, and so thats something to be concerned about. How do you know if you have that and not just a regular mosquito bite. How do you know its more serious . The symptoms. When you have this chikungunya or dengay fever characterized by high fevers, joint pain. It can be really debilitating. So thats something that if the fever lasts for more than 48 hours, if the pain starts, you want to see your doctor. But it is a sequence. All mosquito bites will cause a local reaction, redness, pain. But these other illnesses can be more severe, and so youve got to be vigilant about that. What is dengay fever . There were 24 reported cases i believe in florida as well. Its a viral disease caused by the bite of the mosquito. Causes fever, the joint pain. But in some cases, theres something called hard to say. Dengue rheumatic fever. It can cause bleeding problems, bruising. Its certainly very concerning. Before we move on to prevention, the jets wide receiver david nelson was bitten while on a charity trip in haiti. Hes been quarantined. Any update on his condition . As far as i know, hes doing better now. There isnt actually transmission from person to person. The mosquito really is the vector, so the mosquito bites somebody and transmits the disease. But i think theyre being very cautious in that case. Lets talk about ways to protect ourselves then, when it comes to mosquitos, ticks, all of those pests. Very important to protect yourself. Most of us know we should be eliminating sources of standing water on our properties. A lot of other things we can be doing as well. If youre doing outdoor barbecuing, invest in insectrepelling candles. Those will minimize the population of mosquitos, they wont prevent them. Mosquitos are not such good fliers. A simple fan will help keep those mosquitos at bay as well. The most important advice i can offer is to make sure to use insect repellant. Weve gotten pretty good at wearing sunscreen. We need to be equally vigilant on insect repellant. A lot of products on the market. Look for products that contain deet, oil of lemon eucalyptus. Also mosquitos and ticks cant bite what they cant access. Long sleeves, long pants will go a long way for protection as well. If youre going to be outdoors in heavily wooded areas, use clothing thats pretreated or buy a bottle and spray it on. What works on mosquitos works on ticks and vice versa . For the most part. For the ticks you want to use a product with permethrin or insect repellant with at least 20 deet. Tick bite, what are you looking for to know its a problem . Certainly the rash. One of the biggest issues with tick bites is lyme disease. It can be with a rash, a target type lesion. If you do think you have lyme disease, go see your doctor, there are treatments. All right, dr. Pryor, thank you so much. And missy, great information. Were welcoming the lords of the playground to all playgrounds. Two actors with a funny view of life as modern dads. After these messages.

President obama is issuing an executive order to ease the burden of Student Loan Debt. Hes expanding a 2010 law that bases payments based on income.

Some chaos this morning at bostons Logan Airport after two planes collided while on the ground.

But i can tell you right now, temperatures going to be hot for one more day. As we get into this afternoon, well climb out of the 60s and 70s where we are right now into the triple digits in the warmest cities across the bay area.

Jon how do we say his last name . Meis. Jon meis, an Electrical Engineering student, peppersprayed the alleged gunman after a rampage that left one person dead. The following day, a link to meiss and fiancee caylees wedding registry at target, crate barrel among others was circulated on social media and everything on it was purchased. Everything. Couple getting married on june 21st. Then someone set up an account on go fund me to pay for the honeymoon and the future. As of this morning, 48,000 has been donated. Wow, their honeymoon is paid for then. And then some. A down payment on a house. A little leg up there. God only knows how many lives he saved that day. What a hero. Absolutely. Al, whats going on outside . As you can see, its been raining. We are continuing to get some pin wheeling effect here in the northeast. So were going to continue with some showers. And then weve also got the risk of Severe Weather stretching from texas all the way up into the mid Mississippi River valley. Out west, western third of the country, spectacular.

Tomorrow we shave off about ten degrees. Temperatures will feel more comfortable towards the end of the week as we fall back to average. Hope you have a fantastic day. Latest weather. Al, thanks a lot. This morning in honor of fathers day, were kicking off our series modern dads, taking a look at how the role of fatherhood has been changing over the years. We found that 61 of dads say they are more involved with their children than their fathers were with them. Veteran actors Matt Servitto best known for the sopranos and Jason Kravitz take a funny approach to modern fatherhood with their web series lords of the playground. Going on and on and on, just yap, yap, yapping on the cell phone, talking to god knows who. The kids just running around. She cant tell because shes not paying attention. I wanted to go hey lady, wheres your kid . He could be in poughkeepsie. Wheres your kid . Hes monkey bars. Right, monkey bars. Anyway oh i told you that kid wouldnt make it across the monkey bars. Just being sloppy today. Hes going again. Two out of three. Firm grip that series is on parents. Com. Matt and jason are here with us. First of all, the monkey bars. When we were growing up, they were just basically steel pipes set in cement, right . And you just took your chances. Now theyre so wellprotected. Yeah. Theres like pillows and marshmallows around and they can make sure theyre very safe. You sound disappointed. I want the kids today to have the same hardships. You dont have to watch your kids like a hawk anymore because its all rubberized. You can sort of sit and talk as we do on the bench and ignore our children. We joke about it in the web series, but i live in new york. You go to the playground, youll see a dad on his phone with his head down, and as a parent, i just start watching their kid. Because hes not watching. Ive got an eye on him. The playground in new york city, thats where we raised our kids, playground is the only place in new york city that you can let your kid go more than five feet away from you without them literally playing in traffic. You need that kind of boundaries and thats why you end up there all the time because you can sit, they can be over there, they can eat sand, its okay. Good city sand. Good fiber. Absolutely. As an older dad of this group, when i was bringing my kids to the playground, i was usually the only dad there. So it was kind of tough being, you know, a man. Now there are lots of dads at the playground. Yeah, i think the stigma of a grown man at a playground with his children of 20, 30 years ago, you know, whats wrong with that guy, that poor man, he must have lost his job or his wife left him or something. Pretty much the same today. Well, as you said, theres definitely because the economy, divorce rates, all that. Theres definitely a lot of single dads and stay at home dads on the playground. Yet its hard, because youre sitting there, having a great time there. There are other dads there and youre having a great time with your kid and you stop for a second, and you think, shouldnt i be doing Something Else . Like killing a mammoth or hunting and gathering . You dont strike me as the type. Well go out with some spears later on, ill show you some stuff. You guys are the classic modern dads. Actors with different schedules. Youre there taking care, involved with your kids. What is the larger message to what you guys are doing in these videos . The larger message. I think its you can be a good father. You can participate. You can love your kids. And you can still use them for fun and profit. Thats pretty much what were doing. How do your kids feel about these videos . We dont tell them. I think the message is be careful what you wish for. I think Everyone Wants more time with your kids, then you get it, youre just sitting on a bench. What mothers have dealt with a long time. Theres a certain amount of boredom of being with your children for long periods of time, but we dont have role models for this. Our fathers were very present fathers and they worked 9 00 to 5 00. Hi, dad. Happy fathers day. Love you. Its just different for us. You guys talk a lot in the series about trying to be on the playground, trying to be the caregiver and trying to retaining your manhood, whatever that means exactly. How do you go about that . I think you definitely find other guys. We discovered early on when my children were young, you go to drop off at prek, all the guys with like, i got to go. Then you go to starbucks and theres three of them sitting there. Like you two . Yeah, i havent worked in a couple months. Im just between jobs. Sure enough, we start gathering together and you find camaraderie in that. So you go from talking about the yankees game to exchanging glutenfree recipes. Thats very manly. Manly glutenfree recipes. I think the next generation i dont feel like, as jason said, were still genetically still right there at the edge of wanting to be the hunter and gatherer. The next generation may be very comfortable being a provider. And even relationship with parents. Com, theyve put these videos on because they were focusing more on fatherhood. Something they really didnt do. They were a mothers magazine for a long time. And it was called parents. Okay, matt, jason, thanks so much. Great stuff, guys.

Some of the topics that had everyone on their computers this weekend. The hottest searches, here to break it down for us, daniel seeburg. Good to see you both. Our first Google Search, new season of orange is the new black on netflix. A lot of people trying to catch up on what they missed. I think bingeing is the new way to watch in some ways. Netflix released the new season of orange is the new black. People were probably searching for reviews, finding what people were saying on social media. I honestly hadnt seen it before but i did watch an episode. Its funnier than i thought it would be. You can see why it generates a lot of buzz. Its got some drama, some comedy and its really a very compelling show. So how are the reviews for this season so far . Theyve actually been really good. I think that its so good that netflix has said theyre going to already have a third season. So clearly theres a big following with this show. And online, lots of buzz. A big fan. I started watching season two this weekend already. So far, so good. Our next topic, i think all of us were stunned to wake up saturday morning and hear about this car accident in which tracy morgan was critically injured. What else do we know about it today . Of course people were searching once they heard the news, however they got wind of it. Maybe initially they werent sure that it was for real, that maybe it was a hoax. Of course we know now that he was critically injured, remains in the hospital. One of his friends jimmy mcnair was killed in this, of course, and its the kind of thing that got people searching online. Hes a star of 30 rock. A lot of fans that want to know how hes doing. The truck driver is scheduled to appear in court wednesday. So all of this has got this element to it. And just a real tragedy. He is responding now, apparently. Yeah, doing a little bit better, as we hear. But there were other people injured as well, and as you said, jimmy mack, a terrible tragedy. On their way home from a show. The next search, calvin hobbs. What are people looking at that for . On a more up beat note, calvin hobbs, the creator oof that, bill waterston. You might wonder why people are searching for it. It turns out he came out of a very reclusive state to partner with stefan pastus, who is the cartoonist of pearls before swine and they collaborated around a series of comic strips that have to do with his characters. Theyre really funny. A little racy. Especially by calvin hobbs standards. He drew this character named libby, a second grader. She kind of takes over the comic strip. Theres kind of referencing the cartoonist himself, and libby, the 2nd grader is a better artist than he is. But fans excited to hear about it. It was a big deal because bill waterston hasnt really done anything since he retired. Comic book fan girls and fan boys went nuts over this. I read all the books. Im sure a lot of fans were thinking ah, great. Something. And now im going to do the reminder for those who may have forgotten, the search for fathers day, also a big search. June 15th. Dont worry. Well take care of you. Its possible people were searching just to remind themselves that its next sunday, and wasnt yesterday. But we see searches for that kind of thing a lot. People searching for gift ideas, inspiration. Maybe searching for the dad who loves technology. Or the dad who loves food. Doesnt who need another tie. But, you know, ties are kind of a staple for fathers day. So we see that kind of thing. Of course, there are tons of ideas online and ways to remind yourself to get shipping done ahead of time. So if you do those things online, you get it in advance of when you want to give it to the dad in your life. I know a book that makes a perfect fathers day gift. Go ahead, willie, what is the name of that book again . Good talk, dad. Get it for your dad. There you go. Thank you so much, daniel. Coming up next, what is your breakfast personality .

Get started today is brought to you by jimmy dean, shine on. We are kicking off a special threeday series, get started today. Were going to help you jump start your morning with a healthy breakfast. At today. Com, we asked you what kind of breakfast personality or what type or what you typically eat. 56 said you eat on the run. 15 never eat breakfast. 6 say eat Something Sweet in the morning. 20 typically eat a bigger breakfast on weekends. Guilty as charged. Yes. Today nutritionist jill bauer is here with Healthy Options to fit your routine. Good morning. You said there are two key components that we should be having every breakfast and thats protein and fiber. I tell everybody ideally you want to use an 84 winning formula. Your breakfast should have at least eight grams of protein. And over here this is what eight grams looks like. A cup of skim milk or string cheese or couple slices of lean bacon or three scrambled egg whites. Four grams of fiber looks like this. A cup of whole grain cereal or a piece of fruit. So were going to go over the different personalities and were going to start with people that are on the go. They have chaotic mornings. You saw it was a big portion for of our audience. If youre trying to lose weight, you want to cap the calories at 300. All of the breakfast that were going to go over fit the bill. Weve done all the work for everybody. The first thing this is my overnight chocolate banana oatmeal. All youre going to do is in a bowl, half a cup of oats, three quarters a cup of skim milk, half of a ripened banana, one teaspoon of maple syrup, and one to two teaspoons of cocoa. You mix this up, put it into the refrigerator. You wake up, guess what whats this . If you want, you can bump up the health a little bit more and put in some chia seeds. Its like a cold oatmeal. I like it cold, but you can put it in the microwave 30 seconds and you have warm oatmeal. Im sold. This is an on the go person also, taking it to go. Two minutes, salsa scramble. Youre going to spray the inside of a mug with a little bit of oil. You add two egg whites, one whole egg. So you get a little bit of that richness. Thats right. And a little bit of salsa. You pop this in the microwave for two minutes. Thats why we call it a twominute salsa scramble and you have eggs right there. And if you couple it with a slice of whole grain toast, then you get that tieb fiber. It should be hot, but thats good. We made it about an hour ago. I like this one if youre the kind of person that likes something a little sweet. This is a waffle pba. A little bit of Peanut Butter and skip that sugary jam, slices of strawberry. I love that. And thats great for kids. You eat it openfaced, double the bites. For people that dont eat breakfast, heres how you go. Youre probably drinking coffee. I want you to add a little bit more milk into that coffee. Get comfortable with that. Then, next step. Youre going to add a protein item to your milk with cough fee coffee. And then add a piece of fruit. This is sweetened ricotta with berries. I add a little bit of milk, a little bit of sugar, and a little bit of vanilla extract. Take frozen berries, nuke them in the microwave. Look what happens when you use frozen berries. Its like a syrup. What about folks who like the muffin . Look at these muffins. These are the healthy muffins. When youre craving a muffin or doughnut in the morning, instead, its a banana berry muffin. You can make two to three batches of it, freeze it, and then in the morning, you take it out of the freezer, ready to go. For the weekender, you got the omelet. An egg white western omelet. Perfect.

A woman was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. The woman was crossing a street when she was hit by an suv. So far, no confirmation from the department. The womans injuries were not lifethreatening. And it is as yet unclear whether the officer was headed to a call when that crash happened. And still no agreement between uni and igts drivers after contract talks broke down over the weekend. Muni drivers staged a threeday sickout last week. But leaders say theres no need for drivers to worry this morning. They have until next sunday to reach a mediated agreement. If they dont, the current contract would remain in effect for the next few years, meaning workers would likely go without raises. A holt forecast. Hey. Look at these numbers.

Hello, everybody. On a very rainy fun day monday, june 9th, so glad youre here with us. What a gorgeous weekend it was. It was spectacular. We felt like we had to pay for it and that was today. All this week it lookslike. But i have you, my sunshine. Yes, you do. We had our hue lagh last nig didnt we . If you didnt watch the tonys, go on youtube and watch the first five minutes. Hugh jackman did something extraordinary. He literally jumped, bounced for, i dont know how many minutes but as i was watching him, four minutes straight of jumping. Not like jumping rope. Like leaping forward. Hes like like on one of those segues, it looks like, going over it is just amazing. I was watching him and i said i wonder how hard that is. In my apartment, that wasnt that big, i was jumping. After four or five jumps, i was winded. This guy kept going and going and going. And having fun with everybody along the way and hitting the high notes. Hes in unbelievable shape. He was a ten. Hats off to hugh jackman. Charming, charming job. Our favorite thing is when he turned and said, and by the way, gave a shoutout to the the cam operator. He had an even harder job than hugh. Thats what hugh does. A fun night. He had all kinds of interesting things at the tonys, things you dont expect. A little rap at the tonys. A lot of cleavage. Yeah. How about fantasia . If youre watching the opening number thats not even you can bare when shes moving around, i was terrified. Look. What is that . Is that a no, thats not a dont say nip. She turned the other way and it was there again. It might be tape that is holding the dress together. I dont know. No one knows. Okay. Big night for Jesse Mueller playing carole king. She won for best lead actress. She was singing with carole king. She walked out on that stage and everyone went bonkers. And she was such a she has such humility in her acceptance speech. She is the real deal. I love jessies speech about her as well. A little of it. Okay. Are we going to listen. I have a wadded up piece of paper. Oh, my gosh. Shes beautiful. I have to thank god because without him, nothing is possible and that is true and that will always be true. Everyone at sondheim, the cast, the crew, designers, such a pleasure to come work every day. How many times i think five times. If i had a ticket tonight, i would go again. It is that good. Really good. A million a week, doing so we well. Little show that was struggling is gentlemans guide to love and murder. It took home best musical. Thats what i had thought. You picked that one. It is so unique. It is just you want to laugh your butt off, go see that show. Phenomenal performances. Though Jefferson Mays did not take home the lead actor. Right. But somebody who, you know, ecae eequally deserving. Who . Neil patrick harris. Bryan cranston won for best play. I havent seen that. You saw it. You said it was unbelievable. Usually what i do when i go to a play, i go how long is it . You want to know. This go three hours and you go, okay. And you think, oh, my gosh. It was three great hours. It wasnt one of those, you go, oh, my god. Congrats to all of them. Lets talk Belmont Stakes, shall we . Oh. California chrome. We have been picking them all the way. And he tied for fourth, the horse. So afterwards, you guys know the drama came afterwards when one of the owners, coowner of the horse, steve coburn, was ticked off after the race. Well show you a little snippet, you know, and here we go. Because this is not fair to these horses that have been running their guts out for these people and for the people that believe in them, for somebody to come up this is a cowards way out in my opinion. This is a cordwards way out. If you have a horse, run him in all three. If you have a horse that earns points running the Kentucky Derby, those 20 horses that start in kentucky are the only 20 available of eligible to run in all three races. This is a cowards way out. Steve, i know it is a tough loss, we hope to see him down the road. How many times have you been with your partner or youre saying and something and your partner is trying to get you to be quiet so many marriages. Honey, thats enough. Youre good. No, i dont care. He happened to be on national television. He is new to the game. He did heres what happened. First of all, he did that interview. The next day after getting rest and sleeping and getting his feelings about again. Hes really mad. Hell never say hes sorry. Today he apologized. The apologize du jour. He said he was ashamed of his behavior. He apologized to his wife first, which i thought was great. He didnt apologize then he apologized to the winners and the entire horse world. World. You know what, i sensed his sincerity. Yeah, i did. Look, we have all flown off the handle. It is hard to be next to someone who is freaking because there is no pulling them back. What do you do . You sit next to me every day somehow, you get through. You know what, youre right. You are right. This is a cute story. It is. Shailene woodley, first of all, hats off to the movie, the fault in our stars. It was number one at the box office. 48 million, it made tom cruises movie look like a big zip. It did okay. It got really good reviews and but, you know. People didnt go as much as they went to this one. You know what they should realize, young girls like going to good movies and theyll buy tickets and you dont have to have one of those like the twilight franchise. I think what they were smart about is they took john is it john green, the writer, who every bit as popular as they were and went on this mall tour, selling it, preselling it to everybody. So remember the girl from fandango was here and said they never had so much was i here . Yes, hoda, that was last week. Okay. The real moms. Yeah. They wanted to go, the start of the show the movie, wanted to go and watch the movie with a real audience. And so they i think we have a picture of shailene, yes, with a wig on. Is that him . Yeah, thats him. And ansel elgort. Shailene maybe sat next to you. She wanted to hear what people thought of it, you know. Honestly. And tom cruise did pretty well, it was third. I picked this video just for you. When you go to a symphony wait, wait, wait. This is not no, it is different. At the seattle symphony, you would like it, it is a symphony.
