A surprise appearance for jay leno jumping in on fallons monologu this morning jay is live with us from tonight to today, today, wednesday, october 7th, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller aza. And good morning, everyone. Weve got willie in this mornings for matt and some breaking news at the top this mornin a startling revelation. The Associated Press is repoating this morning that the fbi has helped foil several attempts by russianlinked smugglers to sell Nuclear Materials to muslim extremists, including isis. Lets get right to nbcs key simmons in london reporter . Implications are chilling, an attempt to Sell Nuclear Material to jihadists in the middle east. The fbi has uncovered four such instances acourt the to the associated pres a and in one case earlier this year its claim and arm smuggler offered to sell creasium for 2. 8 milkllion and this manage toedor chetrus wanted to sell uranium ch of this, as you might expect is a little confusing. Chetrus was elected back in 2011 be fore people heard of isis and while in some cases Radioactive Material was seized in every case it was small amounts or not very potent but we do know isis would certainly like to get its hands on the materials which is known as a dirty bomb which may not spread radiation far but can cause mass fierce of it and in our own hour Pete Williams has en speaking to his own sources saying the fbi has been involved in stings like this, but its not clear yet what their role was in these particular stings. Savannah . Zier with the breaking news out of london. Lets turn to michael leitey r who joins us by phone. On the one hand you have russian smugglers who want to Sell Nuclear Material and we know frurom the past that isis is any time you have reports, the extremists and terrorists being interested in nhclear materials or any weapons of mass destruction precursor its a real concern. I will say its not a terribly new ncern. Weve really bee w ried about th t since after 9 11 and al qaeda had an even more focused effort to get weapons of mass decstruction than i think isis did, and in many cases hat the sellers are selling isnat as nuclear or isnt as dangerous as first appears but all tfat being said this is something at the u. S. And we hope ussia has to take very seriously because the consequences of mi bssing Nuclear Material and allowing it to get to a group like isis would certainly be catastrophic. Concern that has been going on for many, many years now. Mike leiter, always good to get your perspective on it breaking news. Lets turn now to a precarious situation were watching in South Carolina where several dams could give way at any moment. Residents looking to see what will happen next after massive rains and flooding over the prst week. Nbcs Kerry Sanders is live in columbia, South Carolina this morning. Good morning.

The truck went into the water. Three pdople were able to swim out. Two, however, are still missing. Its a sign that there s really danger here literally around every corner. This morning South Carolina is keeping a nervous eye on its struggling dams. More than half a dozen hanging on but in danger of giving way. National guard helicopters dropped huge oneton sandbags to plug breaks trying to hold back the Rushing Water. A lot of holes in the system were filling right now but well turn it around. Reporter capital city of columbia has a massive mopup job. 40,000 residents have no water and forced to rely on bottled water and Officials Say it could be nother four or five days before service is restored.

Staggering pictures coming out of South Carolina. Kerry sanders, thanks. Move now to politics and time is running out for vp joe biden to decide if hes going to run for president. This morning were getting a first look at a new ad campaign thats urging him to get in this race. Nbc News National correspondent Peter Alexander is here from washington with all the headlines were politics. Good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. The Campaign Calling for a Biden Campaign is now up and running. Today nbc news is getting an exclusive first look at the first probiden ad to hit the air, produced in hopes of drafting the Vice President into the 2016 race. All thats missing is the candidate. Youre on the cusp of some of the most astonishing breakthroughs in the history of mankind. Reporter this powerful and personal ad produced by a group of biden supporters with a simple message. Joe, run. When joe biden sees this ad i hope he understands that theres millions of americans who are eager to see him enter the president ial race. My dads definition of success is when you look at your son and daughter and realize they turned out better than you, and they did. Reporter ad debuts on cable tv next tuesday, the day the first democratic debate where biden is not expected on stage, and just this morning a new poll shows democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton still in the lead but losing ground in florida, ohio and pennsylvania, but biden outperforms clinton in general election matchups in those critical swing states. It all comes as bidens aides are blasting as offensive and categorically false a report accusing him of being politically calculating while mourning his sons passing. The report maintains biden himself first leaked his sons death bet plea to run. And bill clinton sat down with Stephen Colbert. Please be impartial here. Who do you think is the most qualified to be president . The woman i say singing on saturday saturday . And weighed in on the republican. Hes a master brander and most interesting character. Did you call donald trump and ask him to run for president of the United States . No. No. No . Because that would be pretty smart, man. Yeah. Lot of things i didnt do like that. Reporter a longtime biden supporter says the Vice President is still deliberating so for now biden 2016 remains a hypothetical, and as another biden friend said to me the moment he gets in he becomes another candidate and their words the warm and Fuzzy Feelings quickly if away. Peter, thanks so much. Lets turn to mark halperin, managing editor of bloomberg politics. This story had a pretty devastating thesis, the notion that the Vice President himself talked to the reporter for the purpose of floating a potential candidacy and told them this incredibly heart wrenching story about his own sons death. The Vice President s office shot this down pretty hard. What do you make of in . Joe biden likes to talk and he likes to talk now allotted about whether he wants to run for president , the personal aspects of it and politics of it so hes talking to lots of people, including reporters, including his friends and including donors. I dont think he was out there he just likes to talk and hes emotional right now over all of the confluence in his life i dont think this is a big deal. Mark, however the story got out there, clearly the death of beau biden and family considerations will factor into the Vice President s situation. Hes not sure he has the Emotional Energy to run a campaign. Where do you think he is over that . Hes conflicted and thinks some parts of his conversation and thinking are about could he run, the mechanics, when could he get in, should he get . A lot is still personal. Is it the right thing for his family . Is he up to it . And people who talked to said hes not prepared to do it, running for president and being Vice President at the same time, two pretty big jobs and the jobs hes thinking about, as often as anything else is father, grandfather, husband and someone who is still very much grieving the death of his son. And Hillary Clinton has this ghost candidate in terms of biden and his potential run and Bernie Sanders on his left and so far she hasnt really engaged on biden. Do you think thats going to change. Engaged a little bit with you when she asked about the possible run and went out of her way on monday in New Hampshire say you get in this rough and things are tough. Peter alexander cited a biden adviser who said if you get in, things change. A lot of people around joe biden say, hey, look, joe biden is a competitive guy. Look at headtohead polls mythical matchups with republicans, doing better than Hillary Clinton in a lot of places. When he thinks not about the personal stuff but when he thinks about the competition, get in now, maybe wait and get in in january, if Hillary Clinton loses. Could he get in the that late . A lot of people in democratic politics, including people around joe biden wait and see. Dont worry about the benghazi debates. Wait to see if she loses to Bernie Sanders, because if she loses to Bernie Sanders in iowa or New Hampshire or both, i guarantee you, look at history of the democratic party, there will be panic and joe biden i believe maybe thats the right time. If she loses people say we need somebody else in this race and when he thinks about the possibility of getting in, he thinks about winning, not about the some message, not about fulfilling some family obligation. He wants to be president of the United States, and as i said before hes so competitive. He thinks hed be a better president than Hillary Clinton and thats what is fueling a lot of this. Well see what happens there. Mark halperin, lots to talk about, thank you. The ntsb will be on the scene today to help find out what happened to that missing cargo ship. So far debris has been found but no sign of the ship that disappeared during hurricane joaquin. Nbcs Kristen Dahlgren is here with us more. Good morning, kristen moo its been a week since the el faro set sail and one key piece of evidence they are looking for now is the black box. Out at sea, more evidence of a broken and battered ship, debris for miles but still no sign of any survivors. The crew was remembered in a candlelight vigil at the Maine Maritime Academy tuesday night. While the ntsb met with family members in florida, the agency is now investigating the disaster. Questions like why the el faro set sail into the path of such a powerful storm, and what cause the it to lose propulsion at the worst possible time . And we will be studying the meteorological conditions and all of the factors that went into the decisionmaking to sail on that day. Reporter merchant marines like Kenneth Benton on the el faro last month say the crew would have had little say in the decision to leave. I feel that the company and the captain are going to decide whats in their best interest moneywise as opposed to how the crew feels. Reporter the 790foot cargo ship was on a regular run, delivering supplies to puerto rico, but tote maritime insists the storms forecast shifted after its ship el faro set sail. The company is now hiring a third party to conduct an independent an Public Safety assessment. He was my son.

Just lost his father and, you know, my whole insides are just being ripped out. Reporter the coast guard is considering when to suspend its search. Meantime, that data recorder will only ping for 30 days so time is of the essence. The ntsb will be looking at maintenance records and any emails between the captain and the company about its decision to leave, guys. So many human stories in the middle of all this investigation. Thanks, kristen. We turn now to natalie. Calls for a new investigation after this air strike by the u. S. At a hospital in afghanistan. Thats right, good morning to you, guys. Doctors without boarders is calling for an unprecedented Factfinding Mission under the rules of the geneva conventions into a u. S.

The medical Aid Group Says its call would mark the first time such a Factfinding Mission would be launched under the conventions. According to the New York Times the american commander in afghanistan now believes that u. S. Troops probably did not follow their own rules in calling in the air strike. A big conte is heating up this morning in the unregulated world of Fantasy Sports. New yorks attorney general has sent letters to Fantasy Sports websites draft kings and fan duel demanding they turn over details of any investigations into their employees. The move is prompted by media reports of possible insider trading, that a draft kings employee may have had access to valuable company data before then winning 350,000 in a fan duel contest. The Companies Say there is no evidence, however, that anyone misused company data. Nbcs Parent Company comcast and nbc sports have invested in fan duel. And the Major League Baseball playoffs swung into action tuesday night as the Houston Astros beat the new york yankees 30 in the American League wild card game. Lots of sad yankees fans.

The best time ever with Neil Patrick Harris tuesday at 10 00 central, 9 00 central right here on nbc. Every loves Neil Patrick Harris. Willie . Thanks a lot. Now to the star of one of the most buzzed about movies. Kate kinslet is a movie about steve jobs. She plays johanna hawthorne, a marketing expert, who stood up to the notoriously difficult steve jobs. You dont think youre having a bizarre overreaction to a 19yearold girl allowing her mother to list her own house . She could have tried. Shes supposed to stop her mother. That particular mother from living. She gave the blessing to sell the house and did to spite me. I dont care if she put a parttime bomb in the water heater, youre going to fix it now. Shes been acting weird for months. Fix it. Take it easy. Take its or i quit. How about that. I quit and you never see me again, how about that . Kate winslet, good morning. Kate. Good morning. Youre playing this real person joanna hoffman, and we found video of her from this time period. We wanted to troll for you because you nailed it. Ive probably seen it. We trold everything. Distortion is reality, distortion and it has motivational value and thats fine and i think has a very strong point. You captured everything about her but that accent in particular because its actually such a light trace of an accent. Yes, thank you, thank you, because i have to say i think it probably was the hardest accent that ive ever had to do because she was born in poland. The real joanna went to armenia and some of her family was speaking russian and came to america as a teenager so there was a lot to fit in. I had to be a little bit forensic about the whole thing . One of the few people who could stand up to steve jobs in a room. Who was she exactly within apple . In apple she was in reality part of steves working life for five years and remained friends with him for a lot longer, head of market for the macintosh and start right until his time at next and there were strong women and a composite character in many ways representing several of those women, i would say, and yeah, she just wasnt afraid of him and she also respected him and add mired him and had great affection for him so there was a lot of camaraderie and, you know, they definitely kind of drove each other along i think. And we saw you transform yourself for this role, and we see joanna over time. I was watching with my husband and he said thats kate winslet but it was like halfway through the movie. I hear that you really fought for this part. You wanted in on this. I really did want in, for sure. You know, when you hear about a project like this one which just sounded so extraordinary, you know, directed by danny boyle and written by aaron sorkin with Michael Fassbender with the lead. I want to sign up for the lead and i want them to send me the script. Luckily it went my way. You heard some of the criticism of the movie and steve jobs widow doesnt want to the see it and she in fact tried to get move killed and tim cook the head of apple right now said its an unfair portrayal. What do you make that have criticism . Well, people are obviously going to react in very sensitive ways, especially if they have had something very specific to do with steves personal life but ton honest, you know, i dont know that those people who say the film and this is speaking from Joanna Hawthorne herself and said it was really lovely to seat real steve and side of him that she got to experience as a friend, and the stiller sides of him that i do think that the film really do reveal in ways that they perhaps havent been seen before and hes very much a man and a father in this story as well as perfectionist that he was and, you know, im very proud of the film, i have to say. I think its a very, very honest portrayal of who he really was as a man. Were all talking in the commercial. You just recently turned 40. I did. How are you liking the 40s so were all in the 40s club now. Its wonderful, you know. I sort of feel like ive been preparing to be 40. I was kind of building up that moment. I wanted to go rocketing to 40 and when i got to it that day on monday i really did feel pretty triumphant and calm and happy, and, yeah, its a good place to be. You made it across the finish line in the book the. I got there and i said oh, my god, i did it. Im there. Well, kate, its great to see you. Thank you so very much. Thank you. Steve jobs from our parent today. Coming, our conversation with grammy winner christina were back at 8 40 with viva today our week long series that looks at latin music heritage and culture. Recently natalie sat down with Christina Aguilera and her recent trip to ecuador. Thats right. She was in ecuador as the ambassador of the World Food Program, and while she told over 50 million albums worldwide, she told me its trips like this that keep her grounded. The fivetime grammyaward winning singer is one of the biggest names in pop music. Lady marmalade but she also lends her voice to helping others. You just got back from ecuador as an ambassador to the World Food Program. What was that like for you . The World Food Program is so important. I was approached by yum brands who partnered with the World Food Program in the u. N. To help provide feud and nutrition and meals. Aguilera has served as food ambassador since 2009 traveling to ruined ark, haiti and guatemala. And now ecuador. It gets emotional for me because it is really, really hard to see some other situations. I love going on these trips and going into the field and meeting these people that have these incredible stories of survival and of struggle. For the 34yearold mother of two her trip to ecuador was a personal one. Being half ecuadorian, going to ecuador and seeing the kids there, was that personally more meaningful for you as well . Well, it was interesting to go into a place that you know your blood line is from. I mean, im literally half ecuadorian right down the middle, and my father, my grandfather having been born there, i were sort of look into the faces and think oh, these are my people, this is where im from. I got to see a little bit of the video from the trip and the interaction you had with the kids and you even got to sing to the kids a little bit. I did. Yeah, it was so cute because i was like, okay, whats something that we can sing together, that they might know. And their little faces just light up with joy with song. In 2000 aguilera released a spanish album, and the shes currently working on a followup. Whats it mean for you to be latina . It means everything. It means passion. It means fire. It means, you know, part of my blood. Shes also working on her eighth album. Ive been loosely working, you know, and sort of accumulating ideas for what my next album will be over the next im excited for my nance to finally be getting something from me. Its been a while. I am beautiful but its her experiences that make her music meaningful. You come back from these trips in ecuador and all of these places, and you think, you know, you are humbled and you truly are appreciative of everything that you have. Gracias. Thanks, guys. Oh, you see how much that means to her and some exciting news also for all the Christina Aguilera fans. She will be returning as a coach to the voice next season and is working on her two albums and a mom of two kids so shes got a lot going on. A lot on her plate. Very busy. And good on the voice, too. Good to have her back in the rotation. Up next, singer and songwriter Sara Bareilles on how shows taking on a new venture as author. First, this is today on nbc we are back at 8 46 with Grammy Nominated singer songwriter Sara Bareilles who we know for long song and brave and shes using her talents to write her new book writing a memoir sounds like me. Good to see you. Nice to see you. I love how you put this in the forward to the book. I said yes to the project because i loved the idea of writing a book. Thats like buying white jeans because you like the idea of looking good in them. Well said. When you started to write, did you think, maybe i bit off more than i could chew here . That was the phrase i was going to yeah, i loved the idea of a challenge and loved the idea of getting to express, you know, sort of my story from pulling back the curtain from that perspective but once i got into the nittygritty of how much time and attention and internal mining takes place in terms of writing a book, it was much more challenging than i thought it would be. Well, i have to hand it to you because its a true memoir, and i think theres a word to describe it brave. Oh, thank you. Youre very honest in it, and i could tell that meant a lot to you. Going to do a memoir then be real about it. I really feel like thats part of my legacy is just wanting to put art out and expression out that at least feels very oughttic to who i am anund d thats the easiest way for me to express is kind of dig into whatever it is that feels the most honest. You look at different parts of your life. I think one part that people will really relate to is you saying in third grade that you were singled out as a fat gadd kid which as a fellow fat kid i can relate to and how that affected everything in your life and you talk a lot about body image. I do. It was a very formativee experience for me. Its something i still i say see that girl every single day so its been a real exploration in learning toapractice positive selfspeak and to and also to share thatwbecause i think i have a younger sister and two young nieces and lots of young women in my world, and i think about them and wanting to encourage them to know that you dont necessarily grow out of it. Yes. Ts something that you have to continue to practice and to nurture. You say you still see that girl but you say thats also one of the reasons why you became a singer. Yes. Explain how thats connect sglid felt ostracized and felt sort of invisible in my Peer Community and so i i went towards a place where i i felt like i could find my voice, and that ended up for me initially being the theater, the theater community, and then eventually just kind of finding my voice through finding my songs, and i went to journal writing because i didnt know where else to sort of pour out horribly embarrassing journals. Dont weall. Letters to leonardo dicaprio, kate winslet was on the show. We love your song brave of course but we learned in the book that you didnt necessarily love it at first. I loved the song and then i got very nervous about how it was being presented and i was worried that it was too slick and too shiny and it was an experiment in kind of releasing what felt precious about it, and believing in the message and the song has taken on a life of its own. Im so grateful. And i have to mention that you have a huge project in the works. You are part of the Broadway Musical waitress can the writing the music. Yes, yes, i came on board about three years ago and we just finished our run up at the american repertoiry theater in boston and just a blissful project, i have to say. Its been a lot of hard work, dont get me wrong, but it will be opening on broadway in the spring. And your new record is all the music. Yes. Thank you so much. Coming up. How to get together for a meal your friends can help others. This morning in today food one organization is taking a different approach raising money to combat hunger in this country and abroad and making it social and fun. Todays food analyst sam cass is here. So great to be here. Wonderful. All have dinner parties at our home but were trying to turn that into a mission to actually solve hunger worldwide. An amazing organize saying. You guys should have a look. Across the country the power of the plate is being put front and center. For one month feed, known best for fighting hunger through fashion is trading totes for totes inviting you to share a meal. A big part of feed is empowering individuals to take action so talk to me about feed is uppers. Folks are already hosting suppers, getting together with thei sur friends and family around the dinner table. Why not make for a good cause and gine. Ack. And anyone can host a supper, anywhere. The cave. Guests are asked to make a donation. Feeds goal is to raise 2 million meals by october 16th, world food day. You measure your impact in terms of meals instead of dollars. Why do you make that decision . Because it makes it more real and tangible for folks participating. You know, feed is really founded on that power of the individual consumer to make that one purchase, to help that one kid and really help move the needle on hunger. Needs like this where you have so many different types of people asking different types of questions and sharing different types of perspectives and thats where we can help them. Around the world close to 800 Million People go hungry every day, and in our country one in 48 million americans need help putting food on the table in front of 15 million children and yet a Single School meal can lost as little as ten cents. The unfortunate reality is 1 in 19 people around the world are hungry and what weve seen is this incredible kind of coming out of our community to support hunger. One meal, one supper at a time. What a cool idea. Yeah, i love it. Youve inspired us, sam. I think whats brilliant about feed is they use innovative models, using fashion, really a business and a business for a service of a Global Community and now taking a supper we would all have with our friends and making that a really powerful tool to solve some of the greatest issues of our time. I think its just growing. Mekes you feel better about drinking all that wine, right . Wine with a purpose. Weve got at dinner party and youre cooking. Im in. Not me, tamron. If you wantluo learn more ab out how you can host a spuper go to today. Com food, youll find out all the details. Nice job, sam. Thanks. Coming up next hour, guys. J leno. Yeah. Jays garage.

The today show is coming right back. Just ahead, adam lambert from American Idol performs a song this morning on requested odays take jay leno back in the drivers seat in primetime and hes taking us along for the ride. Then real housewives star joe giudice breaking his silence for the First Time Since theresa was sent to prison and a rocker performance by adam lambert coming up now. Announcer from nbc news this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall live from studio in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a lovely wednesday morning. October 7th, 2015 here in new york city. Im willie along with al, natalie and tamron and this mornings jam didnt come from us. Your idea last week was to get the viewers to send us the son. Brenda parish, Beautiful Day of course by u2. It is going to be a Beautiful Day. Goo 11d portion of the country and thankfully for our friends down in South Carolina, even though the dams are still on pressure. Yeah. The weather is good. Wow. Drying out a little bit. Wow, good news. Well talk f more about that in just a little bit. Lets jump into president ial poalitics. Dr. Ben carson is a guy who has supurprised a lot of people, at or near many of the National Polls tied with donald trump in some them and he lit up the gun control debate with some new mments on mass shootings, of course, reflecting on last weeks terrible day in oregon. What dr. Carson said in fox friends and how he would have responded if a gunman asked m what religion are you. Not only wouldyi probably not i would not just stand there and let them shoot me. I would say, hey, guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot m but he cant gpl us all. He said that this morning yesterday morning and then reiterate it had again when he was asker again and again. A lot of people taking great offense to someone stepping back from the comfort of a president ial campaign and say heres what i w ld have done at nine people were shot, many of them reportedlydi asked what their religion was when they said christian. They were gunned down. Yeah. I mean, its beyond insensitive. Its hard to hear that. Bill kristol, the coponservative columnist, legend in the conservatve world attempted to defend the remarks this morning on morningdjoe, the show that willie is on as well and his point was dr. Carson was not saying that these victims did anything wrong. Right. That he was pointing, to for example, 9 11, with nited flight 39 when we know those passengers fought back. Thats at least one persons explanation perhaps for dr. Carsonseremarks. Right. But then he went on and made similar comments on another ogram, dr. Carson did. I just think as a rule, dont explain what you would have done in a moment none of us could imagine. Are you dont know how youre going to react. If he wants to comment on it, good for him, but i think there are many people who would probably say, you know what, im not in those peoples shoes, im not going to even begin to presume. And isnt it more important that we hear your policy proposals potentially on this conversation, a more substantive conversation rather than if then scenarios that certainly lead people to assume that you are saying that these poor people who lost their lives were passive and that you somehow would have been aggressive. Ou and that wasnt the point i think he was intending to say, that these people were not passive. I think it was just more his idea of if we, you know, Work Together and take down the shooter, but, yeah. With a semiautomatic weapon, it wasnt this case in th,s shooting and bottom line is one of those conversations that we have. I always think when we all watch the same video and majority of people go what did he say . Thats usually not were not all crazy here. Part of his explanation last night when he was asked about it on a different show is i want to plant the seed for the next victim so that they react in a different way, but my goodness, who would ever second guess people in that situation. I dont understand it. You mentioned policy. Part of it is here. Dr. Carson suggested in an interview with usa today that if he had a child in kindergarten he would want School Security guards an even possibly that childs teacher to be armed saying if the teacher was trained in the use of that weapon and had access to it i would be much more comfortable if they had if they had one than if they didnt. Later in the day he appeared on the view and was asked to clarify that comment. Not only kindergarten teachers, i said people who are trained. Eokay. And understand all the are not just going to have a weapon sitting on the kindergarten teachers desk. Where would the weapon be . Secured in a place where kids could not get to it. If a gunman if a gunman comes in with an cuak45 or ar15, h i fast can that teacher go to the locked drawer and get that gun . Well, i want that teacher trained. You want that teacher trained. I want that teacher trained in divers ionary tactics and whatever needs to be done in order to get there. By the way, thats not an unpopular position. A lot of people that feel that way. Theres a strong argument to be made that you could employ a retired Police Officer or a veteran who is looking for work to be in the parking lot, in a are can a and to be a Security Guard at a school. What the other argument is that there were Armed Security people at columbine. Right. And so, again, thats a part of the substantive conversation that you can have, but it has to be an informed conversation, and statement from dr. Carson and ny people do there is the other side of columbine. Its such a sad commentary, you know, on where we are in the world today. Absolutely. Were desperate to find a safe way. Need a conversation about arming our teachers and i think a lot of people are h aving that conversation across the country, but at the same time it just makes you as a parent the sick to your stomach the thought that you have to think that way. Now our schools have our school put multiple security features on top of whats already there. I dont know if you saw this oregon mom. Her daughter was inside the Community College umpqua when this happened and she said very clearly that if her daughter had been armed she feels that her daughter could have helped out, and there she is a parent frightened to death that she lost her daughter. Right. And she strongly believed and to your point about, you know, this is something that many people support. She said if my daughter i wish my daughter had been a ed. Yeah. And thats a parent speaking. Obviously, but theres a lot of back and forth thats going to continue. Yeah. To a lighter story, one that might put a smile on your face. 50yearold michigan want julie leach pick pentagon up a powerball check for a cool 310. 5 million. Gosh. Yesterday. Shes adorable. Yeah. She drove to the fiberglass factory where she worked for cl years and didnt realize she had think the big. Went to work, having a real bad night at work and went to mcdonalds for lunch, thought, well, i might as well check my numbers while im sitting here waitinlefor my lunch, and thats when i realized that i was the winner. Did i believe it. I had to go back to work and get verified from a couple other coworkers and just just couldnt believe it. Im going to take care of my kids. I dont want them to have to work like i had to work and deal with the kind of things that i i just want to make it a good life for them. Good bless her. So sweet. Fantastic. She quit her job right away though. Right away. And shes got three kids, 11 grandchildren. Oh, wow. She will take the lump sum which is almost like 198 million after actually it already140 million after taxes, so its just terrific. They will buy a couple of houses, get the kids houses. Shes she and her husband are going on tript to hawaii and alaska, god bless her. She said they used to fant sides, if we live the lottery well all build houses together and live together. And then she will build another mansion away because she is like here i am. A vacation place. When i first saw the check, i thought oh, look, thats nice, 300,000. More zeros there. 310 million, amazing. You know whats not so bad having tom hanks rescue you. Wow. Talking about this earlier. So tom hanks tweet the out a picture of an i. D. Card actually. It says, lauren, i found your student i. D. Do you still need it . My office will get to you, so obviously tom hanks tweets. People listen. The university, laurens friends, professors, everyone tried to get in contact with lauren. You would think it would be pretty easy in this age of social media. Well, laurens not on twitter, so everyone saw it except for her. She ended up getting a call from a professor. Take a listen. I checked my email and had an email from one of my professors, and so i opened it. And it said youre famous. Hearing from people i havent really heard from in a couple of years. Media has reached, you know, as far as england i saw something online so its pretty cool. I said she got an email from the professor, but heres the catch here. She paid 20 already to get a replacement i. D. 20 bucks for a college kid, wants her money for shes like hoping she can get her cash back. Shes a celebrity now at school and on campus. She said she wants her money back celebrity or not. I want my 20 back. Had that one great tweet and now people are going to go around dropping their i. D. S wherever celebrities hang out. Leonardo dicaprio found my i. D. Thats a good one. Im going to litter the world with my i. D. All right. Lets get a check of the weather, al. Well show you some video.

They had flash flooding, washing out roads, a real mess there, and we got the potential for more today. Lets look on the radar, and you can see this upper level low spinning. Its a closed off low pressure system. Theres no jet stream to steer it so its just going to kind of hang out so weve got the risk of Severe Weather from albuquerque all the way down to presidio and what were looking at is favorable conditions for some super cells, large hail possible and were looking at wind gusts over 50mileperhour and look at rainfall.

Look who is pack with us, jane leno who reigned Supreme Court on late night for two decades and now the car enthusiast is back on television with his hoe jay lenos garage why the on cnbc. I got a chance thanks to jay to check out his one of a kind car collection. This is a steam car, Howard Hughes car. Howard hughes owned this car in 1925.

With ancient technology restored to perfect sitting next to futuristic custom built vehicles created by jay and his team. A car we built here at the shop. Used a jet engine out of an attack helicopter. Built the whole car here, yeah. Jays encyclopedic knowledge of cars is on full display on his cnbc show jay lenos garage.

Leno now owns more than 200 cars and motorcycles but jay says the big collection was never the goal.

Jay drove himself. Like you drove yourself. I mean, people seem generally amazed that youre able to comb your own hair and perform hygiene functions on your own. Success it comes, leno says, from keeping it simple whether on stage or under the hood. What a thrill to drive around in that car. I loved the eulogy. I didnt pass away. It was a good ride.

The fire trucks, the goal leaf, all beautifulfully and hand leathered and i have a friend of mine and thats what he does and the fire truck costs enormous, its enormous, 60 feet long, and hes got his gold paint and brush and bottle of scotch. He takes a drink and he draws a perfectly Straight Line all the way down the truck, which is really hard, try it. I saw it. All the way down and finishes takes another swig and goes the other side, another perfectly Straight Line and then he did some of the filigree in the front and then after about he just passes out. And i have to wait until tomorrow, and he sleeps all day and then he wakes up the next day, okay. Takes a swig, and draws i mean, it took three days. Its fantastic and looks great but he can only do it drunk. Couldnt draw the line straight and you would think it would be exactly the opposite.

You write jokes which dont require sets and cgi and all kind of stuff like that and if something is funny, you know the monologues usually takes up, when we did the show 10 or 11 minutes, so thats 10 or 11 minutes which is pretty cheap to do yeah fangsly for the network. So, yeah, yeah. I think its in great shape. Colbert is doing well, jimmy fallon is still number one and im really proud of him. Amazing about you, a guy that can rest on what hes done, youre out on the road more than 200 nights doing standup.

The five new jersey families took the nation by storm when their tableflipping passion and personal drama hit the airwaves. Six scenes later its the giudice family that continues to grab headlines but for much different reasons. Last year joe and his wife teresa pled guilty to fraud charges and now as teresa served the rest of her 15month sentence joe prepares for his time behind bars. I sat down with joe ahead of braffas threepart special, the real housewives of new jersey, teresa checks n. The giudices are one of realitys most famous families, appearing on all six seasons of prafes housewives of new jersey. Joe, teresa and their four daughters are reality royalty but fairy tale came crashing down when they pled guilty in 2014 to multiple counts of fraud. John salas has imposed a 41month of sentence on joe guide ice and 14 months of imprisonmentment for teresa and now joe is talking for the first time in a no hold barred interview set in their famous home. Youre facing four years, is it . 41 months, yeah, 41 months. Do you even think about it at this point . No. Why . Why not is the. Because if i did youre just going to drive yourself craze tlnd knows point. Guy sax 14 and gabriel is 11 and milania is 9 and adriana 6. In four years you will come home to big girls. One will basically be an adult. Yeah, pretty much. So the question is was it all worth it . No, of course its not worth it, but, you know, why it happened i dont know. You believe teresa is behind bars not because of something you didnt do anything wrong or illegal . I wouldnt say i did anything wrong or illegal but there were definitely people behind and talking to them and telling them that we did this and did that and being in the attention and being in the public help didnt help. I hear the economy is crashing so thats why i pay cash. 120, 360, 120,000360. Also a lifestyle that was presented here. Yeah. Im in your home right now. Theres a lifestyle presented of great wealth. The things you were accused of and accused of were things prior to going on national television. Yeah. It was prior. If you know that your xs and os arent adding up, why go on this show presenting an opulent lifestyle that could land you behind bars and is . Well, i didnt anticipate, you know, going on this show. I didnt want to go on the show number one. They were bothering us for over a year. We just thought we were going to do it and it would be like no big deal, you know what i mean, and we didnt know it was going to turn into this. Phenomenon. Yeah. And thats how we ended up here. You didnt think you were doing anything illegal . You know what i mean. I was just i was just signing my name. I wasnt, you know it wasnt my i wasnt an accountant, wasnt a mortgage person or a banker. A number of people that ive told that i was going to do this interview with you, a lot of them women, fans of the show, for good or for bad, and repeatedly i heard from more than a few this is joes fault. Teresa took a fall for joe. What do you say to those who believe that you are to blame for it . I was to blame. I took full responsibility for everything and they still put her away. You still feel guilt . I was supposed to go away, not her. That was part of plea. I dont know what happened in the courtroom that day. When you realize that had she would serve 15 months in addition to the years that you will serve, what i mean . I feel like Somebody Just snapped my neck. I mean, it was i felt the pain, a chill going down my spine. Ieart couldnt believe it, but, you know. Part of being on this show is youve become a tabloid obsession. You google your name, there it is. Joe on a date allegedly with a strip club employery while his wife is serving time behind bars. Whats the truth . Whats the truth . Were you on a date, have you dated since teresas been behind bars . I dont date anybody. I dont go on dates. None of that is true. That person just happened to be out one night with a friend of mine that knew her and they came and sat at the table and somehow pictures got taken and thats how that came about. Listen, anybody that does anything for money, you know what i mean, so if they feel they can make a couple bucks, they are going to make it. They are going to say whatever they want to say. I know that this interview were able to talk about it, some things more delicate than others, some things more sensitive and i know one of those things is the issue of deportation. So ill ask you this, joe. Youre not afraid of going to prison. Youve and i think in your words youll toughen it out with all of this. Are you afraid of being deported . You doesnt want to answer it . No. Wow. Ive never had an interview with someone remain silent that long. Yeah. And he would have sat there and we would still be there. He doesnt want to answer that question. He wont find out if hes going to be deported or not until after he serves the four years but that is the topic that scares this macho guy. He he knows that its a chance. I think his reaction right there told you everything you need to know. By the way, they are good reality tv because they are real. Thats not an act, and i oh, yeah. I was suspicious at them. They were living that life before the show and now they are living the fallout from it. I think about those four kids. Forget about it. Thats what gets me. So sad. For more on the interview head to today. Com and trust me theres plenty more of it and the threepart special, the real housewives new jersey, teresa checks in premiers on our Sister Network and i asked about rumors hes being paid for all of this.
