Sunday night neighbors her two gun shots. She is said to have shot her dog and herself in a place that had great meaning for the singer. I just keep telling myself the more suffering i go through, the greater character ill have. Reporter in her final interview last month before reportedly taking her own life, Country Singer Mindy Mccready sounded hopeful, but things apparently became too much to bear. I dont know why he did what he did. Hes gone. I cannot get him back. Reporter dan hanks, Los Angelesbased private investigator and longtime friend advised mccready on personal matters over the years. For business purposes and with her consent, hanks often says he recorded their phone conversations. The last one on saturday afternoon. I would have never guessed that she would have gone ahead and done what she did. Reporter she got emotional, talking about her new song ill see you yesterday. Its such a beautiful song. It must be heard. Reporter ironically written to try to help those contemplating suicide. Now its so clear that that was what she was doing, preparing her last statement in this video. Reporter authorities found her body on this porch shall the same place where her boyfriend, david wilson, died last month. Police have not ruled yet whether his death was murder or suicide. The police have not called you a suspect, but do you feel like just the way that it came out in the story that it was damaging in itself . I was hurting so bad and then they just did whatever they could to make it hurt even more. Guys do it all the time reporter the country star was once at the top of the charts. Was better known recently for her public struggles with addiction. She had recently won a bitter custody battle to get her son back, but in the days following David Wilsons death, her two boys were placed in foster care. Friends say she had a brief stay in a Mental Health facility but was released. My life hasnt ever really made sense to me, because i i do know what kind of person i am. And i do know that i i try to be as good a person as i could possibly be every day. Police say it does appear to be suicide, but they are conducting an autopsy at the arkansas crime lab, the same lab where her boyfriends death is being investigated as well. Her two young boys are still with the foster family and she told me they werehe reason she got up every day. Thats where your heartbreaks here is for those two little boys, one of them just 9 months old. Terrible story. Thank you, andrea. Billy mcknight is mccreadys exboyfriend and father of their 6yearold son. He joins us exclusively. Good morning. So sorry for your loss. Good morning. Thank you. Youve known mindy for 15 years. Youve watched her struggle. What was your first reaction when you heard she did this . As sad as it is, it didnt come as a major shock, because shes just been battling demons for so long. And, of course, i was around her when she attempted suicide twice. So, you know, i knew it was in her. I feel for her mother and her family and especially my son, you know. But i cant say that it shocked me, no. A lot of people are thinking of your son and zain as well. Mindy was institutionalized by the court because of her grief after david wilson took his life and your son, xan dechlt r, was put into foster care as a result of that. Whats your reaction to that . This whole thing he shouldnt have been taken from me to begin with. He was taken out of florida. He has a happy home here. I can provide for him. Its just been a really big mess and enough is enough. Hes up there, all alone. He has no family in arkansas. He has plenty of family who love him here, cousins, aunts, uncles. He needs to come home. And, you know, zain i dont know whats going to happen with zain. If he does go to ft. Myers where her family is from, its only an hour and a half difference. I would like to keep those boys being brothers together and try to turn my sons life around. He has had a rough first 6 years. He deserves better than this. And my heart is broken for him right now. Im very worried. Billy, mindy was in the hospital for two days, then moved to an outpatient program. Do you think she might still be alive if she had been kept in the hospital for treatment . I would like to think that. I dont know how she got out. I dont have those exact details. Mindy does have a way of talking her way out of situations that maybe she shouldnt have been so good at, perhaps staying in there and grieving around people that could help her over the death of her fiance, could have calmed her down. But the demons that she hasnt beaten were there. And until she was going to face them, something was going to happen. And everyone who knows her personally knew that. You talk about it. So, you know, i dont know how much she would have had to probably stay in somewhere for quite a long time until she really healed and started looking into herself or getting better. Billy mcknight, we appreciate your time. Our thoughts are with you, your family and your son. Thank you. Thank you. Folks in the northeast are digging out this morning after the latest winter storm. Al is upstairs with the latest on that. Good morning, al. Good morning, carl. This one really is almost adding salt to the wound after all the snow we got from last week. You can see this system pushing itself up, making its way up along the coast. Some places getting blizzardlike conditions. Look at the snowfall totals. Boston, picking up to five inches of snow, howotiz, six inches. Theyre looking at more snow. Theyve picked this up. Rhode island also saw a decent amount of snow throughout that region. Again, folks digging out, trying to keep things clear. And down in florida oh, my gosh, this cold air goes all the way down there, where there are frost and freeze warnings up. Here are some of the temperatures weve got this morning. Pensacola, 39. Tallahassee, 26. 38 in tampa. Miami at this hour, 39 degrees. During the day today, temperatures will rebound. Not by much. 71 in miami. 67 in vero beach. Tallahassee, 62. Jacksonville, 64. Weve got a couple of big storms coming during the next week or so. Well have a very active week weatherwi weatherwise. Savannah . Al, thank you. Well check back in with you in a few moments. In the case of olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, accused of shooting his girlfriend to death on valentines day, Michelle Kosinski is in pretoria, south africa, with the latest. Reporter his career had him set to race in four continents and his agent just canceled everything. Quoting Police Sources about what allegedly happened inside his home that morning. You fall in love with being in love with love, just one love everywhere. Reporter full of life is how friends remember Reeva Steenkamp in her new television show. I take with me so many things, things in here and things in here that ill treasure forever. Reporter for many, too painful to watch as new details keep coming as she was allegedly killed on valentines day at the hands fs her love. Reevas skull was damaged, cricket bat is being xmed. She was allegedly first shot in the bedroom then through a bathroom door. Friends say he frantically call them before 4 00 am that morning. I said to him, what are you talking about . He then repeated himself, there has been a terrible accident. I shot reeva. The other friend says she reportedly arrived to carry a barely breathing reeva down the stairs and they both tried to save her life. The young woman who seemed to savor every moment, every goodbye. I think the way you go out, not just your journey in life, but the way you go out and make your exit, is so important. Youve either made an impact in a positive way or a negative way. Always be true to yourself. And im going to miss you all so much. I love you very, very much. Reporter so, pistorius bond hearing is tomorrow. Some legal experts feel theres a chance he will be released, which some womens groups here have vocally opposed. Savannah . Michelle kosinski, thank you. Karen maun is a reporter for the news station in south africa. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. This comes down to whether this is a premeditated murder, as police allege, or whether it was an accident, as Oscar Pistorius family claims. How difficult a case will this be for Oscar Pistorius to make, that this was an unintentional shooting . Reporter if he cant prove this is an unintentional shooting, he faces charges of premeditated murder, the most serious kind that you can have in the South African system. Premeditated murder means not only that it will be incredibly hard for him to get bail from the court but also that he faces a possible life sentence in jail if he is, in fact, convicted of Reeva Steenkamps murder. I know weve not seen all the evidence, not even close. Youve been talking to your own sources within the Police Department there. What does the forensics tell us so far . Reporter well, we know that when Oscar Pistorius was carrying his girlfriend down the stairs after he allegedly shot her three times in a very confined space, a little bathroom stall upstairs, that her heart was still beating. Now he says he was desperately trying to save her. Thats what he has told family and friends. Forensics would show that she was in an incredibly confined space, she could not have possibly gotten away. What will be crucial to him is convincing a court that he had no idea that it was, in fact, her inside that bathroom stall, that he reasonably believed it was an intruder. Problematic for him, however, is consistent with this evidence from the residents who live in that complex, that they heard the shouts of screaming and arguments in the moments before the shooting and then three or four shots fired in very close succession. What will be problematic for him is convincing a court he didnt know it was her and that there hadnt been some previous altercation in the moments before the shooting. A lot of reports flying around in the tabloids. What do you know about this report that there was a bloody cricket bat at the scene . We know he kept a cricket bat next to his bed because of apparent sbangt paranoia that he would be under attack. The gun he kept was fully loaded at all times and the picture is emerging of someone who lived in complete fear and apprehension for most of his life, particularly these last few years. However in this stage theres no evidence that that bat was actually used to bludgeon Reeva Steenkamp. We know it was seized and under testing but no evidence that she actually suffered a head wound as a result of that bat. The head wounds we suffered at this stage, from what we understand, was from the bullet he shot her with in the head. Reporter very, very quickly, tomorrow is the bail hearing. Do you think he will get bail . Are we likely to see more of the evidence at this stage in the case . Reporter it would be incredibly unusual for him not to get bail. We know the state will put up an incredible fight, arguing that this was planned and premeditated murder. In the South African Justice System unless absolutely exceptional circumstances exist, it is highly unusual for someone in his position, have iing the status that he has, not being a flight risk and being prepared to hand in his passport not to be given bail, particularly the argument that his lawyers will make. It will take some time because the investigation involved in this case for the matter going to trial and keeping him in jail for that length of time would not be in the interest of justice. Karyn maughan, thank you. Natalie morales is over at the news desk with a look at our other stories this morning. Good morning. Good morning. Pope benedicts successor, Anne Thompson is there with more. Good morning, anne. Reporter good morning, natalie. The conclave to elect Pope Benedicts successor is scheduled to begin between march 15th and march 20g9, but there is talk it could be moved up because the karmds who will elect the new pope are coming here to rome to say goodbye to Pope Benedict february 28th. We should hear some word perhaps this week. Asked who will succeed Pope Benedict the pope himself yesterday set off a flurry of speculation at his weekly blessing when he addressed the crowd in spanish, he asked them to pay praise for himself and the future pope. Some wondered was he sending a secret signal that he would prefer to see a pope from latin america . I spoke to a vatican spokesman who said there was no secret signal, just the pope offering a prayer. Anne thompson, thank you. Nbcs White House Correspondent Kristen Welker is in port st. Lucie, traveling with the president. Good morning. Reporter good morning, natalie. President obama heads home later today after a weekend of golf, including a game with tiger woods on sunday. The debate over Immigration Reform back in washington is escalating. New white house chief of staff Dennis Mcdonough on meet the press after a leaked copy of the president S Immigration proposal, creating a new visa, allowing Illegal Immigrants to become legal residents within eight years. Mcdonough says the president has not proposed a bill yet and is hoping congress will act first. Well be prepared in the event that the bipartisan talks going on on the hill which, by the way, were aggressively supporting. If those do not work out, well have an option that well be ready to put out there. Reporter republicans slammed the report, including a key player in the bipartisan talks, marco rubio saying if actually proposed the president s bill would be dead on arrival. Senator john mccain accused the white house of playing politics. Leaks dont happen in washington by accident. Reporter democrats engaged in damage control. Weve talked to senator rubio. He is fully on board with our process. I am very hopeful that in march we will have a bipartisan bill. Reporter an Administration Official says that leak was not planned. Now that Bipartisan Group of senators continues to work on Immigration Reform but passage is not certain with lawmakers still sharply divided on key issues. Natalie . Kristen welker, port st.

It also prohibits advertisers from publishing digitally manipulated images without a clear, written warning that the pictures you are seeing are photo shopped.

Reporter an iconic fashion photographer until one of his models died in his arms from anorexia. Shocked, he put down his cameras and reached out to hundreds of sick, young models, offering help.

This is the difference between life and death. Reporter model whose lived on crash diets are flocking to his studio and eating burgers during breaks. But not everyone is happy. An International Model whose image appears on some of the worlds top magazine covers, but her bmi is too low to work in israel. She thinks its a stupid law. Im a healthy person, she said, but this law deprives me of the right for me to practice my profession. Indeed, it never would pass in another country that suffers from eating disorders. America. That would not fly here. It would be an impermissible abridge to free speech. Reporter spreading, embraced by young models, putting the pounds back on and loving it. Some israelis leading that charge say theyre coming to new york in april to persuade top Fashion Companies to ban super thin models there as well. The fight, they say, has just begun. Well see.

Announcer brought to you by citi, supporting progress for 200 years. Back now at 8 19 with stories of progress today. Msnbcs alex wagner is here to tell us about a school here in new york city putting students of different abilities in the same classroom to learn side by side. Good morning. Good morning, carl. As more and more attention turns to learning disabilities and education, the ideal school is expanding the definition of diversity and adding inclusion to the lesson plan. D. What was the word . Democracy. Reporter max is not a typical child but his mother wanted him to have a Typical School experience. When it came time to looking for school for kindergarten we wanted something that was similar to the preschool experience we had, go to school with his peers and other kids his age regardless of their ability or situation. Reporter audit ra zuckerman and the parents of two other children with down syndrome founded the ideal school in new york city. Arrested in 1964 reporter representing a school with a new learn alongside children with no special abilities. When we talk about inclusion. Education and mental ability, ideal offers unique solutions. Teachers build a curriculum based on each child. Entire class will focus on the same top he can, each student has a lesson plan drawn to his or her needs. The sixth debride is reading beowulf. They can learn something, maybe by differentiating through the different books. They do know when someone is bragging or boasting, they do know when someone is putting their lives on the line to save others and they also know what its like to be at a table saying beowulf, beowulf. Reporter students never miss lessons or feel stigmatized for being pull out of class. The head of the school believes that a social education is as important as an academic one. If you are only in a class with peers who have special needs youre not having role models for the typical behavior that would perhaps help you move at a faster pace. Reporter she says for children without mental or physical disabilities, diversity teaches important lessons. Those students also are gaining so much from being teachers from learning empathy, compassion, kindness. Reporter parents see the effects firsthand. The kids are partners with each other. They support each other. They advocate for each other. Reporter ultimately, ideal believes accepting others begins with accepting yourself. You dont have to leave part of you at the door when you come to this school. Reporter in the best case, that acceptance becomes something much bigger. Pride. He is a ham. Hes accepted for that. That is part of who he s he is so proud of the fact that he has down syndrome that he doesnt think of it as a negative. Its just something about himself and who he is. We should mention that the ideal school is private and students with special needs do pay more to attend the school, which is how its able to have multiple teachers in every classroom. Financial aid has been a big part of the schools mission, to ensure, of course, a diverse student body. Carl . Watching some of that video, alex, the impact on those kids with special needs must be amazing. The kids with special needs grow up not thinking that anything theres nothing different about them, that they have nothing to be ashamed of. On the other side, the kids that grow up, quote, unquote, normal, have a completely different conception of what it means to have down syndrome. They just treat each other in a really, actually, beautiful way. Its a very special place. How easy would this be to replicate around the country . Should parents who see this in california think maybe this is coming my way, too . Resources are part of it. Raising the money for it, tuition piece and Financial Aid piece is definitely a consideration. It begins with parents and teachers and educators saying, look, this is the kind of environment we want to establish. Maybe if the school isnt singularly dedicated to bringing these students together, its about integrating the classroom. If your kid is, say, gifted or talented and slowed down some way in this classroom . I think its mitigated by the fact that they have tailored experience. Youre getting special attention in the classroom no matter what. Alex, thanks for the story. They say you cant be a little bit pregnant. One man who tried to be, after your local news. Youre getting special attention 8 30 now on this monday morning. Its the 18th of february, 2013. Chilly day out here on our plaza. We have a lot of hardy folks who decided to come by, say hello.

Its true, there have been a few reallife episodes of this. Really our show is more of a fictionalized version of that. But its really a story of this very complicated marriage of these two kgb spies living very, very deep cover in suburban d. C. And all the things that spies have to do. During the 1980s cold war era. Does that mean 80s fashion . Yeah, a lot of that. No cell phones. Not the only thing you have going on. Dark skies is coming out. Tell us about this. Thats true. Its a really good, scary thriller.

I thought it was horrible that you got kicked off after your goal was to lose 11 pounds in a week and you lost 10. Lost 10. 10 pounds is a lot of weight to lose.

Were so proud of you. Theres still so much left of you to love. Congratulations. Biggest loser airs tonight, 8 00, 7 00 central here on nbc. Steve harvey will come face to face with that man who decided to live as a pregnant woman in that suit. The story is coming up. First this is today on nbc. Well, folks, a lot of men have wondered what its like to be pregnant. Benjamin percy decided he wanted to find out himself. He wore a socalled pregnancy suit for nine weeks, visited a laboratory in japan where they were able to simulate the different stages of pregnancy. He wrote about his experience for the march issue of gq magazine. Benjamin, good morning to you. Morning. Morning. Good, good, good. So, this is kind of groundbreaking right here, right . Tell us exactly what the empathy belly is. Well, this is the empathy belly, also known as the zero dark thirty. And i had to wear it for nine weeks to compress the version of the nine hadnt month temonth. The idea behind it is that our grandfathers never held babies and fathers never changed diapers. These days its grounds for divorce. I have a lot of pals who are stayathome dads and pals who are involved with their kids and i feel a little inadequate in that regard sometimes. Wait a minute. So you wanted to accomplish what by doing this . To make up for my mouthbreathing, hairy chested caveman deficiencies. So by putting this on that did it for you . Its a sort of stunt, of course. When i say that i wore this for nine weeks, you know, i am a novelist first and fiction writer second. I punctuate that claim with a i took it off now and then. What were the reactions you were getting . You wore this, i take it, under your clothes. Actually, i had to wear it on top of my clothes during the most armpity time of the year between july and august. I started smelling fungal and rashed over. You can see from these flattering picks theyre putting up on the screen this i was glistening for nine weeks. Whats been the reaction from women, though . Theyve got to be a little bit perturbed about this whole thing. Here is a guy that puts on a suit for nine weeks. Youre saying it was a rough time of the month in july when a lot of women spend time being pregnant in the summer months. You really think that showed what it was like or i was expected to get a nice pat on the back. Women were completely fixated on the suits inadequacy. They wanted me to have heartburn, varicose veins, pee every five minutes, be consequence pated for a week and jab me full of hormone oozing needles essentially. Once they saw me in the suit, they were like, nice try, wuss. Well, this was a successful venture. You wore this suit but, i mean, you have to understand womens reaction to this whole thing, though, right . Well, sure. I mean, i have, from waking up in the middle of the night to accommodate my children crying and from changing thousands of diapers, learned that im not man enough to be a woman. And this suit just sort of underscored that. You know what . I think thats a good place to be. Because i think women just dont get enough credit for what theyre doing. I mean, its a nice try for you to do it, of course. You realize it didnt quite measure up to the actual business of being pregnant. Sure. And i knew that from the very beginning. Okay. Well, its good for women to know at home. I thought you put it on because you thought you would actually simulate pregnancy. Have you ever bit a man before . Ive never bit a man before. My pregnant wife bit me. Im wondering how you could work it in next time you put the suit on. Im never putting this suit on again. Great experiment. Wish you the best. Thank you very much. Up next, a woman with a groundbreaking career at the helm of brides magazine. First this is today on nbc. This morning this morning on the grio 100, list of africanAmerican History makers and brides magazine head honcho made that list. She has risen to the top but it was a journey that required a leap of faith. Mara schiavocampo has that story. Determined to chase her dreams.

Theres historical note worthiness but she has the job because she has the talent and will to succeed. Reporter has it sunk in . Has it sunk in . No, not really. The appointment is wonderful and worth celebrating. I still every day want to be the best editor that i can be. Reporter she didnt start out in publishing. The 40yearold who called d. C. Home graduated from Howard University law school and spent four years in corporate law. She soon realized it wasnt for her and started to plan her exit. A years worth of mortgage payments. I wont be able to eat but at least i wont be homeless. Reporter following a lifelong passion for magazines, and taking an 85 pay cut. Within two years, she was editor in chief, a title she would hold at two bigger publications before moving to brides. What do you think it is that makes you good at this job . I think it starts with being passionate about it. I really do love it. And Love Learning about my craft. If youre passionate about something, i really do believe that the success will come. Reporter and it did. Now minor oversees every aspect of brides, including how they adapt to the digital landscape. Thats not the only thing thats changed over time.

How does steve harvey keep his figure . He will tell us about the diet hes on right now. Its a cleanse. But first hes very clean. First this is today on nbc. Announcer todays kitchen is brought to you by new smooth roast coffee, only at burger king, where taste is king. Back now at 8 51 with todays kitchen. On the lighter side. This morning, we take a look at the Marthas Vineyard diet detox, a tough 21day regime with juices and soups only for three weeks. The author behind one pound a day. Shes a registered nurse and has a phd in natural health. Madelyn fernstrom is todays diet and nutrition editor. We should mention, steve currently on the program. Good morning to all of you. Steve, your on it right now, like on day six. Im on day six right now. What is it and what is it like . For me its a great way to get healthy and cleanse out my system and give it all a chance to rejuvenate and start over again. Ive been putting a lot of bad stuff in it, processed foods. It helps me clear it out. Side effect, benefit is that im going to lose weight. The real benefit for me is to get healthy. The book makes clear people dont understand the toxins that our bodies take in all the time. This is sort of a way to try to reverse that, right . Absolutely. Its over 300 different toxins that we come across on a daily basis. So this is a program for 21 days only fruits and juices to transform you from the inside out. And not only do you lose weight, but the whole purpose behind this program is to get healthy. How is it different from all the juice cleanse that are the big craze right now . Right now we tell everyone, this program is you have to be really careful. You just cant go out and drink five, six different juices in a day. You have to be careful of the sugar content. But the way i designed the program is for many years of studying the Science Behind detoxing. Its convenient. Packages that we use are vegetable and fruit based. Youre not drinking sugar all day but drinking vitamins and minerals and vital nutrients. The whole thing is designed for you to get healthy. You not only lose the weight but deinflame your body. Your skin looks better, hair looks better. At the end of 21 days your focus and memory you just feel healthy and lighter. I hear you saying yes to all these things. I did it before but i only did it for 14 days. In the 14 days, my focus was really good. I was really sharp. But i lost 18 pounds, but i was really clear. Im on it right now and im not lethargic or anything. You really do get the energy. Madelyn, are there concerns about going for 21 days without any solid food to speak of . The issue is not solid food but the protein. The really low level of protein for a few weeks. After a couple of days, your body gets it from itself and thats the protein source like muscles. Thats something to be aware of. If your body can tolerate that, youre a healthy person like steve, youre doing well on this. The important thing is to not extend beyond, as roni says, 21 days. Youre reintroducing real foods and lots of protein. And thats why its always important to talk to your doctor if you want to do this. As steve said last time he went on it for 14 days. You really have to listen to your body. When youre feeling great, youre do iing fine. If you dont feel great roni, im sure youve seen many people like this as well. You have to have a heads up. If you have any medical illness and youre not 100 a healthy person, heart issues, diabetes. If i go 21 days without ice cream or Fried Chicken on the 22nd day im going to want some, right . Whats to keep you going from right back where you were 21 days earlier . Its a lot of information. Go to my website and grab the book and the program. The Martha Vineyards diet detox. One thing you have to remember is in one day you get more nutrition in one day on this program than the average person gets in two weeks. On the third or fourth day, youre not hungry. After 21 days, you have to transition yourself back to a Healthy Lifestyle not for a week but for life. Thats what the book is going to teach you. Its going to teach you how to be healthy forever. Have you been able to do that, steve . Can you go back to regular eating in a healthy way . Yeah, yeah, yeah. Except this time ill be more focused about it. And i didnt lose muscle tone last time. I can tell that. I got you boys in college. You have to find a plan that works. Ronni deluz, madelyn fernstrom, thank you very much. Steve will stick around and dish out some relationship advice. First your local news. Youre watching today in the bay. Its 8 56. Im laura garciacannon. Police are looking for a man in a sketch that they say he attacked a woman walking on bartlett two weeks ago. Two weeks before that a woman was beat on the the ground after walking past a man. Meteorologist Christina Loren. This time were changing back to winter, laura. Good morning to you. 56 degrees inland today. Weve got rain on the way as of tomorrow and temperatures are going to be cold additionally with that rain. Its going to be a cold day for tuesday. Hope have you a fantastic president s day. U know me. Believe im just glitz and glam when im so much more. Im downtown and ocean front. My nights are just as busy as my days. The arts are my passion. Food my obsession. And when you finally think you know me. Youll realize, theres still so much more to discover. Los angeles. Endlessly entertaining. Plan your getaway at discoverlosangeles. Com welcome to today on this monday morning, february 18th, 2013. A chilly president s day in new york city. Im willie geist along with al roker, Natalie Morales and back with the special coanchor of the day, mr. Steve harvey. Inside at the top of this hour inside. Its really fun, steve. This is amazing. You should try this more often. No kidding. Especially in february. Its like 5 outside. How cold is it out with the wind . Its 18. 18. A couple of degrees. But the windchill, it feels like thats what i meant. There you go. Including the windchill. You should know that about me by now. Steve, before we get into our take three, were just talking about what youre doing right now, how busy you are. Your talk show is great. Youre doing family feud. The radio show every morning. Every morning. Do you eat, sleep, bathe . No, none of that. Just get a lot of cologne and make it work. You smell great, by the way, too. Thank you. Im pretty busy but i care about every minute of the day. People ask me how do you do all of this . I care about every single minute of the day. You can get a lot done if you just keep it on track and work it right. Family feud is great. Its probably the best thing that happened to me to propel me into mainstream america, that game show. Whats your approach on that show . You have Richard Dawson making out with all the ladies in the 70s. Whats the steve harvey approach . I just try to have fun. Families that are there are excited to be there. Of the 500 some episodes i shot, a family has never canceled. Theyre excited about being on tv. They got a chance to win a car, they got a chance to win a lot of cash. And that right there, if you feed that back to them, they feed it back to you. And then i dont have to write any jokes. The peoples answers are the jokes. Makes my job pretty easy. You get to play the straight man. Exactly. Is that double windsor . It almost looks triple windsor. A lot of people are worried about that. Looks good. You havent succumbed to the thinner tie thing . I dont think thats whats happening. Thats a european look. Im a big guy. Thats not going to work. You have a little more stealth built. It works. Thats what we call it. The wider knots if you wear a vest because you can use more of the fat end of the tie, but no vest, i would have to go thinner. Plus the wide knots look better with the spread collar. There you go. I knew steve would probably have the vest. Fashion tips from steve harvey. Thats right. You can wear your vest. Al, not doing too bad. Lets get to our take three, with a little help from steve harvey. Our first take, golf with the president. President obama still in florida, spent the weekend, at least yesterday, playing golf with tiger woods at the floridian golf club. Tiger and obama met in 2009, although this was their first time playing golf together. White house prohibited media coverage. Not a single White House Reporter was allowed inside to see what was happening but tim rose ford of golf world and golf channel tweeted president has arrived awaiting tiger woods. One of the most prominent golf writers found his way into the club. Not a bad way to spend the weekend, steve harvey, playing golf with tiger. Apparently the president did pretty well, i think he shot in the 80s. Not bad. Do you golf . Yeah, i golf. Thats a great day for me, in the 80s. Im having a good day. Im a bogey golfer. Thats my dream foursome. I would love to play with the president and tiger woods. And who is the fourth . Im not going to have a fourth. Okay. Its a threesome. Probably have some secret service guy next to me, watching me, my background check was a little weird so ride with me. Its kind of hard to play with the president. How far weve come with tiger woods. Imagine a couple years ago, the president being seen alongside tiger woods . It wouldnt have happened. I think forgiveness is in order for everybody. Everybody has to be forgiven so they can correct it and move on. Im okay with it. Hes not that plus he was making 1 billion, you know. What did he have, 12 chicks . I was disappointed. Wow okay. More money, more chicks . 1 billion, you should be in the 40, 50 range. Then you dont have time for golf. Game slows down a little bit. Like steve harvey said, make every minute count. And every dollar apparently, too. Okay. On that note well bring in a little booze. Do we have the booze . I think we do. For our take two. Willie is a very happy man this morning. Im a bourbon man. I dont know what you drink. Are you a drinker . No, just red wine. Makers mark, i guess were doing shots. Didnt realize it was going down like this. Makers mark, you may have heard this story last week, announced it would dilute its whiskey from 90 proof to 80 proof. Because of the backlash online water it down . They control supply because they were selling out. It was too popular. What . There was this outrage online that said you cannot cut into my booze three percentage points. Set the nation ablaze about their whiskey. Now the company has gone back and said you spoke, weve listened. Were sincerely sorry we let you down. Were going back up to 45 . There never really was any watered down booze. Some cynics are saying this is the most brilliant marketing ploy of all time. True. I agree. Steve harvey is holding the bottle. Oh, yeah. I noticed nobody took a sip. Are we not there yet . Are you kidding me . Go ahead, willie. Not a bourbon kind of guy . No. I drink, this show is going to be real different. Lets get kathie lee and hoda down here. Exactly. Cheers. Go for it, willie. I think it was a gimmick. I think it was. If you water it down, it takes more to get the effect so they sell more. Right. True. Thats got to be the concept behind it. Theyre not trying to help us out. Theyre trying to help themselves out, yeah. Water it down and charge you the same amount. Who is going to go for that . Thats why nobody went for it and they decided not to go for it either. Go ahead. Youre not going to take a sip . No. Sure. Go ahead. Whoo wow thats good stuff. You drank that whole thing . This is going to be an interesting hour, folks. Stand by. Hold on willie, here you go. Hoda and kathie lee hour. Who drinks this . Whoo this is bourbon. You never worked with our director, joe michaels. You like that . Jet fuel, right . Ill save this one for joe. We should point out that makers mark is not from the prop department. Its from my office and it is half full. Not a lie. That explains morning joe. Part of it, yes. Lets move on now to take three as the burning goes down our chest. Down your chest. We got some research out just the other day. Parents actually, one in every two of them on facebook admits now theyre only on facebook to spy on their kids. Absolutely. Yeah. 43 of parents say they check their kids profiles every single day. This comes from education database online who polled a bunch of parents. Anybody surprised at this . Half the parents online. You have teenagers at home. Yeah. I check it all the time. Are you on facebook because of them . I check everything. My sons cant lock their doors. They didnt pay for the door. True. I just walk in. Theres no privacy in my house. Me and your mom got i check everything. I think you have to. Todays society is too much stuff that they can get at your kids with. And without some type of guidance, it could get out of hand. Do they know you check the facebook . I think so. I dont really care. Are you stealth . No, im not stealth. Pull up your facebook. I dont know how to go online half the times. I got to make them pull it up. They probably have a fake page theyre showing me or something. You but know that theyve got a fake page. Thats pretty good. Al, do you check facebook . Yes. You do . Yes, i do. Have you talked about it with your kids . Especially my oldest. Sweetie, you cant be doing this. This lives online forever. Weve had discussions about it. Your kids are too young. Yeah, thanks goodness, but, you know its coming. What will be next, thats the question . What you have to concern yourself with as your popularity and fame increases, your children become a target for people out there trying to get at your kids from different ways for a fast buck. That makes it doubly tough. True. You have to be careful. Have either of you guys seen something online with your kid that you said, whoa, ive got to go talk to my son or daughter about what theyre posting . Yes, i have. Like good dads. 25yearold woman befriended my son on facebook and set up to meet him at the mall in a food court. I think that was my daughter. Id have let that happen. And my wife found out about it and i had to do everything in my power to keep my wife going to the mall. To meet her. To meet her. Yeah. Thats what it was going to be and the harvey name would have been all over we would have been in enquirer. Nobody even gets in the enquir enquirer anymore. Whats the new magazine, National Star . I dont know. Its hard to keep track. Moving on. Time to get a check of the headlines. In the news this morning a life troubled by addiction and domestic problems has end ed in an apparent suicide for Country Music star Mindy Mccready.

But first these messages. [ male announcer ] this is bob, a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. The usual, bob . Not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib Atrial Fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. I dont think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But not anymore. Bobs doctor recommended a different option onceaday xarelto®. Xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesnt require routine blood monitoring. Like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afibrelated stroke. There is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. No routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. New zealand xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. And with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. Stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. Get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. Ready to change your routine . Ask your doctor about onceaday xarelto®. For more information including cost support options, call 1888xarelto or visit goxarelto. Com.

Announcer todays relationsh relationships is brought to you by kcadbury. This morning on todays relationships, the right time to call it quits. Couples therapist is director of training at Drexel University and Elizabeth Lombardo is a psychologist. Good morning, ladies. Good morning. Ive had a lot of women ask me through the years how to get their boyfriend to pop the question and all. But were actually here, talking about some of your experiences based on counseling. How often do you find that problems arise in marriages before people even get to you . Steve, you know, what i say is that people like to plan their weddings but they dont plan the marriage. What i see in the practice is that people come to me and theyve got a lot of questions but they dont want to broach those questions because they feel like thats going to end the relationship. Youve got to ask those questions on the front end so you dont have problems on the back end. What kind of questions are you talking about . Ask questions about finances, about how many children youre going to v you want to ask questions about even what lifestyle you want to live, whether somebody wants to go back to school. All of these things. And even your sexual preferences. I know its morning tv, but thats important. Many people often dont know when to end a relationship. And there are some clear indicators leading up to that moment you both say. What should you be looking for . What are signs that this relationship cannot be fixed . If you are unhappy more than happy, thats a sure sign to get out. If youre anxious. If you dont feel good about yourself in the relationship, thats telling you that this isnt right for you. I also would say if youve exhausted every possible healthy way to salvage your relationship and its still not working and the person is not willing to help you, thats a problem. If you have these deal breakers and every deal breaker has been broken, thats a problem. Yeah. What else . What are the other signs . I heard you say when it comes to comparing a person. Right. If youre constantly comparing your spouse or your partner to someone else, you probably should be with someone else, because youre looking at that other person and youre saying, this person is better. Your spouse or your partner is never going to live up to that. Either change your perspective or change your relationship. What if youre the one who is the problem, though . If your always comparing the person that you want to be with but absolutely. One of the things i find is that when people themselves are unhealthy, their relationship is unhealthy. They see negative in their partner. So address your own happiness. Address your own self confidence. Elizabeth talks about happiness in her book. No one else can make you happy. We have to be responsible for our own happiness. That partner is not really responsible. They can contribute to t you have to do the work in a relationship. It requires work. It doesnt happen overnight. Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the insight. Coming up next, four days of [clucking]. Everyone wants to be the cadbury bunny.

True or false, in todays dollars George Washington would be the poorest president ever. Raise your hand or applaud if you think its true. Okay. Applaud if you think its false. Nope. Everybody is very noncommitmental. Well, those of you who said it was false are right. He would be the richest. worth 525 million. After taxes its not so much. He didnt do so well. Heres another within. True or false Warren Harding who knows who he is was an avid poker player who once bet the white house china and lost it all. True or false . False, false. The answer is true. Can you imagine explaining that to the secretary of the treasury . By the way sorry. Im sure there was alcohol involved. True or false.

Losing everything. Everything. No, my phone was lost for a whole day. It was under the seat of the car. Uhhuh.

I kind of agree with that. Yeah. Well, they said thats second. Second. What was first . I dont read the note. I dont know what was first. Number one is he makes you happy and gives you emotional security. That makes sense. For men ask women. I think number two, though. The fact that your friends and family have to like him. If my best friend doesnt like the guy im dating, i start to see the flaws. Let me ask you a deep and probing question. What is it . Do you have the same best friend type now at the age of 40 as you did at 20 . No. Say youre 22 and your friends think this guy is awesome, thats different. You dont even have your frontal lobby developed and you are making huge decision bz your life partners. In your 40s if you dont have good friends, you have not learned much.
