Plus all the buzz you might have missed with brian balthazar. Hi. Hi, sweetheart. Thank you for taking over last week. I was able to watch it the first day and saw you and the precious jenna just do so beautifully and thank you. And we want to welcome to our today show family before we get into our talk today her precious little baby girl. Poppy. Poppy is the cutest she literally left and went here and gave birth. She and her husband henry and big sister mila welcomed poppy louise haguer. She weighed seven pounds nine ounces and she worked up to the last day. She has your work ethic. She was working up until the last day and i texted her the day after and said are you coming in . And she said no, she wasnt. [ laughter ] she would have if she could have. Its a beautiful picture and a great name. Well, thats what they called her grandfather when he was a little boy, poppy. Its sweet. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away and thats something my family and i have been through this past week when we lost frank on august 9, your birthday, hoda, at around 9 00 in the morning. And i want to thank everybody for your love and your texts and your tweets and just the outpouring has been extraordinary. Its a heck of a way to find out how loved you are but believe me, my family and i got great strength and comfort from it. And the tributes to frank, i think, were just extraordinary but he would have loved them. He would have loved them. And, you know, we all knew when you read the tributes about him, we knew about his six halls of fame and hes a comeback player of the year, eight pro bowl, the only person to ever play three different positions in the nfl. And, you know, started along with one of the people along with the kennedys and the shrivers who started the special olympics. There he is with cody at our home. And, you know, the public frank was always sort of out there for everyone to witness the way he lived his life but i thought id share something with you guy this is morning about the private frank because he used to say to me when id get miffed at him, every marriage you have that. Id say and hed go you know, a lot of people like me. And id go yeah, well they dont live with you. We laughed up to the very end and i just want everybody to know that this is a man who was at complete peace in his life. He might have been the happiest, most contended person in the world at this point in his life. But i want you guys to know something about frank and that is when he was a young boy born into a very different world than the world we live in today, the depression, he was born in 1930 into a poverty stricken home where his father was an oil worker and they the new poverty the way so many people cant even he ate dog food sometimes as a child, the family did, and was grateful to have it. He lived 29 different places before he was even at Bakersfield High School because his father couldnt get work during the depression. And we know that from his mothers bible where she would Say Something like june 6, 1938, arrived in wink, texas, dad cant find work, moving on tomorrow. And thats shaped the man that frank became very, very much. He knew what it was like to be hungry. He knew what it was like to literally have no clothes on his back, even when he went to usc to play football he had one pair of jeans and a white shirt. So people who think that she was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he goes we didnt have spoons. But it made him so grateful. Honestly, hes the most graceful human being ive ever, ever known and its that colored everything he did. And he would want you tuul know that when he was a little boy we know where he lived and all that because of his mothers bible, they had nothing, but they had their faith and every time they moved to a new city well, they werent cities, a new town his mother and father would put him and his siblings, theyd go to church. Every week as a family. And that kept them together as a family through the darkest, darkest times. And as a young child frank asked jesus into his heart and that remained with him for the rest of his life. He strayed from his faith on occasion but his faith never left him. Especially after we found each other and started sharing our faith together it became more and more and more important to frank his world got smaller as his god got bigger and hed want you to know that he died in complete peace. He knew every sin hed ever committed was forgiven. He had the hope that he would be with the lord and that we would someday be with him as well. That is the foundation of the Christian Faith is forgiveness, grace, and hope. And those of you who are hurting today or feel hopeless, it might be the answer for you. In fact, i know its the answer for you. And one thing i do know about him is when we went to the holy land a couple of years ago he came back a completely different person. We went to a place called the valley of elah where shepherd boy david bought a different kind of giant named goliath and our friend ray took us down to the brook of elah and he said pick up a stone because thats what david the shepherd boy did. He picked up five stones, he thought he might need more than one. He did that, the slingshot, and slew the giant. But as ray pointed out to us, the miracle wasnt that the shepherd boy was able to kill the giant. The miracle was that the shepherd boy who already had all the skills he would ever need in life trusted in a living god, not a religion, but a living god. And frank came back with a completely new perspective and towards the end, after that trip, hoda, you know because you came with joel, if somebody wanted to see his trophy room, they went into it and he didnt take them to the bust of his hall of fame, his emmys or his rings or all of his trophies, he took them straight over to the stone that he brought back from the brook of elah and we got home from the holy land and cassidy graduated from high school. I dont know what she was expecting but she got a stone. And we said to her cass, where are you going to throw your stone for the kingdom of god . What is your stone and where are you going to throw it a week later cody graduated from college, usc, film school. He got a stone. If you ever leave a legacy for your children, let it be that youve taught them friendship with god and youve taught them find their stone and show it. Show it, throw it hard and well and transform this hurting world that needs gods love so much. And so my children have been extraordinary. Theyve been a blessing to me. You have been an amazing blessing, hoda, my family here, all of you out there whove watched, we felt your prayers. Were so grateful. And frank would want you to do this today. If you see a stone somewhere, pick it up and ask yourself that question what is my own . What is the gift that only i can do in this world to make a better place . And then spend the rest of your life trying to throw it well. And then he would want you to stop a policeman and thank them for their service. He would want you stop every fireman you see and thank them. Go into your local fire house. He did it all the time. He would stop passing guards stopping traffic to roll down the window and say thank you for keeping the children safe. But he was so grateful. He knew what hard work was. He never had an entitled moment in his life. And we will miss him so much. We all keep expecting him to come around the corner. I keep expecting them to go you know what time is church . He passed away instantly that morning all dressed in what he knew was my favorite outfit white shirt, very tight black jeans. He knew he looked good. Having his of feerks watching tv, getting ready to go, getting ready for church and excited about what we were going to have for launch. Im grateful that the lord took him that way because the only thing frank has been afraid of in his entire life was being a burden to those he loved. He never wanted to be hooked up to machines. He never wanted to lose his diggs anity. Hed seen so much of that through the years and i prayed the lord would take him the way he wanted to go. I thank the lord for that for his grace to us as a family and i pray his grace on all of you as well. Thank you. Oh, we love you, kath, love you. The love for you is overwhelming, as you know. Sal here here today . Timing, sal, is the new show business thing. Thank you, sweetheart, give it to hoda. No, sals good. Thank you. [ laughter ] the numbers of people who wanted to reach out sal i mean, as you know there were thousands of people on facebook, millions of people who watched all the tributes and there were so many of them.

This may be the movie for you. Its called learning to drive and it stars twotime Emmy Award Winning actress Patricia Clarkson. She roan emmys for the hbo drama six feet under and she was nominated for a tony for her performance on the broadway stage opposite Bradley Cooper in the elephant man. Now shes back in the drivers seat putting the pedal to the medal alongside ben kingsley in the movie to drive. I used to go from sidewalk to sidewalk. This is my kind of movie. Im sorry i havent had a chance to see it. Its been busy, patricia, you think youre the only one . I just want to say im so sorry for your loss. Kathie lee, ive never married and i think maybe its because i never found a man like frank. I went to an event and he was so kind, so beautiful, just a very gracious gentle hearted man. Beautiful. He never changed that way, thats for sure. Beautiful. Thank you. This movie such an interesting idea. It seems like a simple concept but its obviously a lot more than a woman learning how to drive. Its like a metaphor, right . Its a metaphor. Lots of metaphors, yes. Its a film you know, its a woman who has everything, you know . Shes smart, i get to play a really smart woman. They do exist and we still have nice hair. Its about a very, very, very smart intellectual brilliant woman who has a beautiful husband, beautiful daughter but shes just forgot to take it all in. To appreciate it, you mean . She forgot to really appreciate what was flight front of her. And suddenly her husband walks out on her. She says you never you were never present, you were never here. And shes thrust from an intellectual life to an emotional life. With no skills. No she has all the skill of the world. But shes never learned to drive. Shes a hard core new yorker. Who appears, the one and only, most gorgeous man in the world other than frank sir ben kingsley. Who wouldnt want to drive if sir ben kingsley . Youre dont think about it but when youre driving your senses have to be heightened, you have to Pay Attention to life, you cant let the world pass you by. Im a person who used to drive and because i became such a new yorker i was born and raised in new orleans and i drove. My father taught me to drive and then as i became more and more a new yorker i stopped driving and i had to learn to drive again in this movie, in the middle of this movie there are scenes that are life in that is right are merged. Sir ben kingsley allowed me to drive him over the queensboro bridge. [ laughter ] thats called trust. Now talk about driving over a bridge, you also have you are a beautiful, beautiful woman but you are saying youre getting your sexiest offers since you entered a different era of your life. When things were a little high, where are the offers . I was naked on broadway with bradley. How was that, by the way . Come on. Was that unnerving . What, being fwhakd bradley ever night . You know, it was good, it was just fine. It was such an emotional and beautiful scene at the moment and hes such a gifted and stunning actor. And hes a gentleman. Hes a real hes one of a kind. Hes the real deal. Its never easy being naked on sta stage. I cant imagine. I said be careful what you wish for you might wake up and be naked on brodway. Well, you are extraordinary and i look forward to the movie. Great luck with this. Thank you so much thank you. Learning to drive open this is friday.
