"today," wednesday, january 19, 2007. 2011. captions paid for by nbc-universal television good morning. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. i'm matt lauer. >> and i'm meredith vieira. president obama hopes the visit with hu jintao can help strength strengthen. >> they have to over come tensions over the economy, north korea and china's expanding military. hu jintao arrived in washington tuesday ahead of today's talks and tonight's state dinner at the white house, a first for a chinese leader in about 12 years. we'll get the latest from

a live report in washington straight ahead. >> also a memphis high school with as many as 90 young girls expecting or recent mothers. what's going on there and is there anything school officials can do to deal with the problem? details coming up. >> that's at a high school. unbelievable. also, conservative radio and television host glenn beck is a tough talker when it comes to politics. this morning he's here to open up about personal struggles he's dealt with in his life depression, drug addiction, divorce. alcohol addiction. we'll talk to glenn beck later in the meeting. we begin with high stakes meetings between president obama and his chinese counterpart. andrea mitchell has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. how important is china to the united states? china is now providing half of what we need every day to finance our budget deficit. that puts the administration at a real disadvantage when it comes to hard diplomacy. they rolled out the red carpet for china's president, even

having the vice president greet him at the airport, a first. then a small white house dinner in the family dining room in advance of tonight's formal dinner. from times square to cable television china is promoting its stars including yao ming and ylang lang. the fanfare on both sides can't hide both tensions over human rights and expanding chinese military. >> right now it is characterized by mistrust. a sense of apprehension about what the chinese military is doing. >> reporter: u.s. officials worry over whether president hu is in charge. during a meeting with it was defense secretary robert gates last week, the chinese leader didn't know his own military had tested and shown off a stealth fighter jet. >> a major question in u.s. china relations is whether the civilian leadership in china controls the military.

>> reporter: there is growing pressure over human rights. critics want mr. obama, who won the nobel peace prize in 2009, to speak out forcefully about the 2010 laureate. the jailed chinese dissident represented by an empty chair at his awards ceremony. beijing wouldn't let him attend. >> the idea that they could throw a white house state dinner for a person who jailed another laureate and not demand him to be released would be unthinkable. >> reporter: during hu's last state visit here in the bush years he ruffled chinese feelings. this time he'll get a state dinner but not without controversy. john boehner, the highest ranking elected official after the vice president has said he won't come. >> we hope that because of the importance of the relationship that they would attend. i don't know why he declined on this occasion.

>> reporter: boehner aids explained he isn't a state dinner kind of guy and we'll be seeing president hu on capitol hill this week. the snub is unusual and it has been dually noted. meredith? >> i spoke to secretary of state hillary clinton tuesday about the meeting with china's leader and accusations the u.s. bullied the chinese in the past. i began by asking her in the obama administration is changing its strategy. >> well, i have read commentary that says we are too hard, too soft. in part i think it reflects how challenging it is to make sure that we stand up for our values, stand up for our interests, yet look for common ground wherever we can find it with china. because this will be one of the most consequential relationships of the 21st century. and i think on so many of the strategic and economic issues, the last two years really are a good news story.

can you imagine how we would have navigated through the economic crisis if president obama had not been very forward leaning in working with the chinese both bilaterally and through the g 20 to try to chart a very steady course? we are recovering, making progress. we have a ways to go, but the world economy, thankfully, did not fall into the deeper recession and even depression that so many people worried about. >> two things. what needs to be accomplished over the next couple of days and if we don't get it right in terms of our policy vis a vis china could we be headed for another cold war which is what some predict could be happening? >> we hope to avoid that. we don't think that's in america's interest. we want to have an open trading system. we want to have a lot of interchanges between our countries. we'll be announcing additional people to people measures

because it is not just between governments. we want more cooperation on the economic front. we want to see more cooperation dealing with the thorny problem of north korea, its nuclear ambitions, its provocative behavior that's destabilizing northeast asia. and we want to continue to build those ties of understanding and trust. i think we have to chart a steady course and stay on it and never forget that we stand for american interests and american values. they stand for chinese interests and chinese values. we don't want a zero sum relationship. we want to look for as many win win opportunities as we can because this will determine the peace, stability and prosperity of the 21st century. >> i want to move onto something that former vice president cheney said on our program yesterday in an interview. he was asked about president obama's political future.

this is a little bit of what he had so say. >> his overall approach to expanding the size of government, expanding the deficit, those are weaknesses as i look at barack obama. i think he'll be a one term president. >> what's your response beyond the laughter? >> well, i am pleased that former vice president cheney is healthy and resuming public activities but i could not disagree with him more. i don't think that will surprise anyone who is watching your program, meredith. i think president obama has been playing the hand that he was dealt by the bush/cheney administration very well indeed, rescuing not just the american economy but the global economy, beginning to deal with a lot of our long term competitive challenges. so clearly it's a diametrically opposed view. >> will you be a one term secretary of state? >> oh, i am very pleased to be

working in this position now. i have said on many occasions i'm looking forward to returning to private life, something that i haven't had the experience of for a long time now. and i'm proud to serve this president. i think we have made a real difference in restoring american leadership and credibility around the world, but i do look forward to having a little more spare time and a few more hours just to take a deep breath which seems hard to have in this job. >> do we expect any time soon you are planning to retire like defense secretary gates? >> no. i have committed to president obama i will stay with him this first term and i intend to do so. >> how about the second term? >> well, that's not something i'm committing to or thinking about. by the way, if secretary gates is watching, i sure hope he'll stay as long as he possibly can. he's a great colleague and a

great leader and has served our country very well. we've got turbulent waters to navigate through and it would be nice to have him at the helm of the defense department. >> our interview with secretary of state hillary clinton. it is 7:09. here's matt. >> thank you. another victim injured in the shooting spree in tucson is expected to be released from the hospital today. this as we learn more about what surveillance cameras captured during the tragedy. miguel almaguer is in tucson with the details on that. good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. investigators found a key piece of evidence here surveillance tape which has not been released to the public and nbc news has not seen it, but sources who have tell the washington post it outlines a very gruesome day. 9:54 a.m., the post sources say jared lee loughner enters safeway. surveillance video reportedly shows the 22 year old headed to the restroom.

here, investigators believe he puts on ear plugs. nearly 15 minutes later, loughner exits the store. the video is said to show loughner walking quickly out of safeway. he circles a table, heads toward congresswoman gabrielle giffords. from two feet away the suspect fires a single round. giffords falls to the ground. the congresswoman hit in the face above her left eye. >> the source we talked to in la law enforcement say this is a gruesome video. it's very clear that it is a suspect resembling mr. loughner. they are holding it for trial and evidence and they say it is something you don't want to see. >> reporter: sources say loughner next fires on the crowd. the gunman turns to his right, shoots rob barber. judge roll pushes barber to the ground and jumps on top of him. the two men try to take cover under a table. "the post" sources say the video then shows the gunman shooting roll in the back.

barber, who works for giffords, survived. roll, a federal judge was dead at the scene. vicky stubs and nancy bowman tried to give roll cpr. >> i looked at judge roll and said, i'm so, so, so sorry. >> it was a massacre. >> reporter: meanwhile, most of the injured are now out of the hospital including suzy heilman, the neighbor who took the youngest victim 9 year old christina taylor green to meet giffords. her husband said she's been riddled with guilt but christina's father said his daughter's death is not her fault. >> there is no fault to place on suzy heilman. they were doing something that my daughter would have loved to have done. >> reporter: later today, 76 year old george morris is expected to go home. dorothy, his wife of 50 years, died by his side. giffords remains hospitalized in

serious condition, a week and a half after the shooting. >> i have spoken to gabby maybe an hour before that. >> reporter: mark kelly is giffords' husband. >> it's just not right. but, you know, she's injured. she lived. she survived. she's going to recover. there are six folks that don't get that opportunity. >> reporter: sources now say they believe 32 bullets were fired here at the crime scene. earlier that number was thought to be 31, but a woman standing near the gunman said a few days after the shooting she found a spent shell casing in her purse. matt? >> miguel almaguer in tucson. thank you as always. >> now a check of the rest of the top stories with ann curry at the news desk. good morning. >> good morning, everybody. as matt mentioned earlier in the broadcast a 50 foot tall fireball rocked a northeast philadelphia neighborhood overnight. it was caught on tape. the explosion killed one gas company employee, injured five and forced dozens of residents

from their homes. a gas main exploded. an investigation is under way. a teenage girl is clinging to life after a gun went off in a los angeles classroom. it happened when a 17 year old boy dropped a backpack on a desk wounding the girl and another student. witnesses say the boy apologized and left the room before being arrested at the scene. today the house votes on president obama's health care law and republicans are ready to repeal. kelly o'donnell is on capitol hill with the details. good morning. >> reporter: hi, ann. this is a test of campaign promises and campaign style rhetoric. republicans say the health care reform law is a government overreach and both parties say they can fight it out more politely. >> the resolution shall be debatable for seven hours. >> reporter: at first democrats and republicans traded lightly. >> i pray the debate today is civil and respectful.

>> reporter: feeling pressure to keep heated rhetoric in check. that did not quiet the passion. >> if you like the efficiency of the post office, the competency of fema, and the compassion of the irs you will love the new health care bill. >> reporter: and the new civility didn't mean no sarcasm. >> they were used to saying glib things like government takeover, job killing, but i would urge you to read the bill. >> reporter: house republicans can deliver on the pledge to repeal the health care reform law today. but ultimately the fight may go nowhere. >> others have been saying, well, this isn't going to pass the senate and the president won't sign it. why bother doing that? if that's the logic we take on every bill on the floor we ought to go home. >> reporter: democrats called on real life story. >> this law represents protection from the uncertainty and fear that came with being denied health insurance. >> reporter: republicans say they will come up with an improved version of reform but

first -- we must repeal the new health care law that kills jobs, raises taxes. >> reporter: today, a big change on the senate side where senator joe lieberman, a connecticut independent who works with democrat said he'll announce his retirement. ann? >> kelly o'donnell this morning. thank you. another major bombing in iraq and, again, targeted police recruits. driving an ambulance a suicide bomber killed at least 12 and wounded more than 85 others at a police training center outside of baghdad. meantime the death toll from tuesday's attack has risen to 65. now to wall street. amanda drury is at the new york stock exchange. what's on tap today? >> the market will be watching reactions to the earnings after the bell from apple. they were blowout earnings. the currency markets will watch how much pressure is put on chinese president hu jintao to let their currency appreciate and tune in at 10:00 p.m. for

the season premiere of "american greed." back to you. >> thank you so much. news about nbc. comcast won federal approval to acquire a majority stake of nbc universal from general electric. the deal is expected to close by the end of the month. freezing rain on tuesday made for a slippery and treacherous ride for drivers.qu a majority stake of nbc universal. freezing rain on tuesday made for a slippery and treacherous ride in pittsburgh. trucks and cars down a steep hill coated in ice causing it to slam. looked like bumper cars slamming into other cars and utility poles. just wait for the cars to come down. okay. it is now 7:17. let's go back to matt, meredith and al. >> remind me of my first driver's test. but i got my license.

>> you weren't tipsy for that? >> of course not. >> let us check -- those conditions when we think about this more snow coming tomorrow night. >> more snow and possible big storm friday. just leave. >> get out. i know. let's show you what's happening. there's a storm right now out in the rockies that's generating some snow. starting to generate freezing rain, rain and snow. here's what we look for as far as accumulations. six to nine inches from kansas city to st. louis. but here's what happens. tomorrow that storm starts to trek through, spread snow through st. louis on into western ohio as we move through thursday it starts to make its way through west virginia and then a secondary storm forms off the coast and makes it way up the coast friday. depending on how close that storm stays to the coastline we could be looking at a significant amount of snow friday morning into friday afternoon. >> what's significant.

>> anything more than four to six inches. again f-it stays close to the good morning to you. well, we do have high and mid level clouds above our sky. and for us today, that means that we're going to see pretty nice conditions. the formation of fog not a problem this morning. we've got clear conditions across the peninsula, in fact, the north bay not seeing any fog right now. 67 degrees is your forecasted high in santa rosa. 67 in los gatos and 61 in santa cruz. we're going to keep the 60s in the forecast all the way throughout the extended period. and that's your latest weather. meredi and that's your latest weather. meredith? >> al, thank you.th? now to the legacy of service left behind by sargent shriver. the first director of the peace corps and kennedy inlaw died on tuesday at the age of 95. nbc's andrea mitchell is back with the story of a life well

the phony facebook accounts with graphic sexual images were the talk of this high school in southwest florida where fellow students feel sorry for the victim, a teenage girl. >> i'm sure she's probably really embarrassed. i would be. >> reporter: according to a police report two facebook accounts were opened in the name of a student, without her knowledge. pictures of her face were superimposed over nude and obscene images and comments. >> this is a very serious crime. the sole purpose of the page was to embarrass and terrorize the victim. >> reporter: arrested are 16-year-old taylor wynn and 15-year-old mckenzie barker. they are accused of aggravated stalking of a minor, a third-degree felony. one of the girls said she picked on the victim because nobody liked her and because she thought it would be a funny joke. police say for the victim the teasing at school was very difficult. >> this did cause extreme

emotional distress for her. we have been staying in touch with her and her father throughout this process to take sure she was weathering the storm, if you will, the best she can. >> reporter: debbie johnson knows all too well the pain of cyber bullying. her son jeffrey hanged himself six years ago after he was bullied in school. >> eventually, you know, you just get better at going on. but it doesn't get easier. the pain doesn't go away. >> reporter: a florida anti-bullying law bears jeffr jeffrey's name. around the country, authorities say criminal prosecutions for cyber bullying are on the rise. in a recent case in connecticut two college students were arrested for allegedly impersonating a high school friend on facebook, cruelly taunting her about her weight. the victim appeared on "today." >> it's really not about them anymore. it's about how i'm handling myself now. >> reporter: the principal at estero high agrees cyber bullies should be arrested, even if they are teenagers. >> there is too much out there that's hurtful to other

weather.com online. meredith? >> thank you, al. glenn beck spends most of his time on air talking about ways to change the country. now he's opening up about the darkest moments in his life and how he finally found a path to success. it is all in his new book with psychiatrist dr. keith adlow called the seven wonders that will change your life. nice to see you. first time on "today." >> it is. thank you. >> this is a self-help book, not about politics. you say it could help change this country. what was the goal in writing the book? >> actually, it started with keith and i having a conversation as two friends. he said, how did you get from down in a fetal position on the floor to where you are now? we had this conversation and it started with me trying to find the answer to how we fix our country. we fix our country by fixing ourselves. it's not going to be fixed in washington. >> it starts with the individual. >> it has to.

unless we fix ourself, we go the way of the french, not the americans. even thomas jefferson and thomas paine missed that in the revolutions. we had successful -- they ended in horrible bloodshed and it's because the people were different. what the people were here in america was decent and connected to themselves and the things that were real. if we don't have that connection we're going to spiral out of control. >> speaking about individuals. let's speak about this individual. this is a controversial guy. a lot of buddies and enemies out there. >> who are my buddies? >> you have one here. >> one. >> that's all it takes. >> seriously. >> i had no second thoughts. i'm pleased that my instincts were as good in this case. >> he's a lightning rod. >> when i was on his show back at cnn when we first met i was amazed by how willing he was to come forward with his pain and what he had been through.

that's what began this discussion, where the book started where i thought to myself, how did you get to be so self-revealing and why does it match what i know about the way people get well? you have to surrender. i don't know what his political views are and we're friends. i don't care. he's a decent guy. he conducts himself with honor and integrity. >> that's good enough for you. >> yeah. i got the same heat at cnn and i was taking on the bush administration. >> in this book, you talk about being in the depths of despair, depression, your mom committed suicide when you were a teenager. you dealt with those issues yourself as an adult, suicidal thoughts, trouble holding down a job. you sounded like a nasty guy. >> oh, i was. i was a guy that i would have hated. i don't know why anybody stuck around. most of them didn't in the end. i was a very bad man.

>> you say the seven steps turned your life around. what makes you confident it will work for anybody? >> because they are universal principles. the courage to be able to look at the situation, look at the things around you and say, okay, i don't want to believe these things about me or the country. i don't want to believe them, but i better look at them. >> courage, faith, friendship, family. >> compassion. >> and how to use them. one of the things we arrived at together is don't wait for a clean, clear runway for courage. courage is not pure. it keeps company with fear and with doubt. if you can focus on that and say, of course i'm afraid. yeah, i have doubts, but i'm going to take one step. when glenn stood up off a shag carpet -- not his choice. >> olive green. >> and decided he wasn't going to die, one of the key things he told me is, you know, when i stood up, i didn't feel any

better. it's important. don't expect you will feel better right away. >> it's a journey. one of the chapters is titled "isn't there anyone to hate." and you say stop using anger as a shield against truth and you will find the compassion you need to forgive people you love. there has been a lot of discussion about anger in the political discourse. do you believe compassion could apply there? >> absolutely. i tell you, it is the hardest -- that is the hardest one for me. that was the hardest one. in my own personal life, especially people who were injuring you and continually injuring you. it takes a lot to let go. you will find a time where all of the sudden you start to feel sorrow for them. i mean, somebody who i was really angry with for a long period of life, i actually started to feel sorry for them.

i remember it was a point where i drove away with my wife and i laughed because i was like, what happened to them? that was a shock to me. >> you talk about steering anger in your personal and professional life. there are people who criticized you and said that you're part of the problem. >> i know. >> let me just finish the thought -- >> there are people who tell me that in my office, too, meredith. >> there is a parallel here. if you're the therapist for the country, you have to tell the truth. >> but there is a difference between telling the truth -- >> you're an alcoholic. he says to the country, you're drink. >> but you say more than that. i guess this is where the critics say you have added to the dialogue of hatred. >> let me tell you -- >> let me finish the thought to get it out there. >> do you really -- wait. do you really think people don't know the things that i say? >> i think some people do, some don't. a lot of people do.

i'm picking up a couple of them. that the president is a racist. joking around you wanted to poison nancy pelosi, beat charlie rangel to death with a shovel. >> eight years ago. >> that doesn't matter. it's in the past. i understand that. but in the spirit of the book do you regret that now? >> i regret anything that i said in jokes, no. ask jon stewart. ask "the simpsons." >> you don't think that contributes to a climate of anger or hate? >> no. ask jon stewart that question. >> i'm asking you that question. >> but i'm saying if you ask that question to those guys, i think you will get the same answer. no. comedy is comedy. this is why the lines become blurred and it's very difficult to do what i do. anything that i have said like with the president, i have already apologized for.

and i have explained several times -- >> have you shifted your lines at all? >> no. some things the media doesn't seem to pick up on is when i started the project -- what was it? >> it was about honoring your de bene esse. >> principles and values. >> and values. >> it wasn't the tea party. 9/12 project was, okay, find out what you believe. educate yourself. go into your principles and values and make sure they are there to guide you. 828, everyone said it would be a hatefest and i would be a monster. >> what was it? >> it was about honor. there wasn't a word of politics. >> again, because this book is about finding your truth and owning it, do you look back over what you have done -- >> absolutely. >> there are places where i crossed the line and i have to adjust my discourse? >> absolutely. you're not human if you don't look back and say, that was a mistake, that was a mistake. >> what are mistakes you made

that you say, geez, i wish i hadn't done that. >> let me answer it this way. back it sha-- we have such an interesting view of history. political discourse is sometimes really in your face. telling somebody that you've got a problem, sometimes you really get into their face. just like thomas jefferson and john adams went back and forth, john adams was called a hemaphrodite. adams said, your children will be raped and your towns will be burned if he becomes president. let's keep political discourse in the context of history. children weren't raped and nobody killed each other. the problem in tucson was the individual. let's look at the individual and be responsible for ourselves. >> so the continroversy around sarah palin using the term "blood libel," what are your

feelings about that? >> i think, again, political discourse is dicey sometimes. people don't like it. when the president said -- what was it he said? if the republicans bring a knife, i'm going to bring a gun. did he mean that? or was that political discourse. he didn't mean that. let's put things in perspective. let's stop dancing around the corners and looking at republicans and democrats and let's start to find real answers. and the real answers are the principles that you will find in this book that will change you. just change yourself. change you. >> thank you so much this morning. >> thanks, meredith. >> still ahead, the countdown to prince william and kate's wedding hits 100 days. first, these messages. 00-pound ice sculpture means i don't have any margin for error. one wrong turn, and i could end up unloading a puddle of water. >> gps: turn right ahead. >> man: so i make sure i have the right guidance

birth. officials dispute the number but say they clearly have a problem. >> whether it's 90 or one, it's too many. >> reporter: while the exact number of girls at frasier high school in memphis have gotten pregnant or had a baby is up for debate, officials agree they have to do something about it. >> do we have a community-wide issue of babies having babies, the answer is yes. >> it's a number that shocked the newsroom. >> reporter: media reports suggest as many as 90 girls like this 16-year-old student are expecting or have had a baby since school started. >> she's probably sleepy. >> reporter: sutton has a 2-month-old daughter. >> it's a shame that all these girls are pregnant. but it ain't nothing new. some do it because they think it's cool. some be an accident. >> reporter: there was a series of initiatives announced tuesday aimed at reducing teen

pregnancies. >> this is not a pact to get pregnant. >> reporter: and say it doesn't appear there is a pact. several years ago a so-called pregnancy pact was suspected of being behind baby bumps at a massachusetts high school. >> the key is not how bad is it. the key is how many people are working on it and i think by that measure we are off to a good start. >> reporter: officials dispute the reported number of 90 girls saying upwards of three dozen transferred to fraysher to take part in a program for teen moms. they are also launching a program called no baby and  planning to address idle time after school. >> a lot of issues arise when they are without supervision between 2:00 and 5:00 or 6:00 when parents get home. >> reporter: for sutton, the demands of parenting and school are now an every day reality. >> in the morning time, she

wakes me up about 5:00. i get up, find something to wear to school. >> reporter: it's a problem that's especially acute in memphis. in one neighborhood they have the unfortunate distinction of having the highest infant mortality rate in the united states. meredith? >> ron mott, thank you very much. dr. janet taylor is a new york city psychiatrist and dale atkins is a psychologist. good morning. >> good morning. >> if you look across the board nationally the birthrate of u.s. teens is down 6% which is good news, but not in memphis. what is going on there, do you think? >> well, you know, it's a multi-factorial problem. number one the county has a high rate of teen pregnancy but it is a problem with self-esteem. sometimes anxiety, depression. also family problems. the more connected girls are with mothers and fathers the less likelihood they will have a baby and a community problem from a school perspective and what's tolerated.

teen moms who have babies, only 2% will go to college. so the economic impact is tremendous. >> it's huge. >> they made it clear in the piece that they don't believe this is part of a pregnancy pact like the school in massachusetts. but when you see a cluster like this what does it say to you? >> it says there is support amongst the girls themselves and also says something more important to me and, i think to janet as well. the kids need education, knowledge, information about how to make healthy responsible decisions. >> who should be giving them the knowledge? >> i think the participateents,. >> the health care system. there is no ob/gyn in the county. there is a disconnect that happens. >> we have a responsibility to our children. i think that whomever is available to teach these kids, not only abstinence but how to protect themselves from getting

pregnant unwantedly and when you ask them afterwards many of the girls wish they hadn't gotten pregnant. they feel pressured from boyfriends. we have to educate the boys, too. it is not just about the girls. >> there was an attitude that some girls think it's cute. >> and think think it brings love, girl. >> and that's just one girl's reply. we have to talk to our daughters and sons. >> when does it start the discussion? >> you start early. 8, 9, 10. this is not just about sexual activity. this is about saying no to sex. abstinence certainly but also i will not touch you without a condom. really give them the power to say no and the belief that they can do it. >> i think it starts earlier. i think quote/unquote sex education is about awareness of your body and it's your body and how you handle it and treat it

and what you can say yes and no to. we start early with children to feel good, proud so they don't have to be in situations where they feel compromised. >> the kids may go home and watch "teen mom" on mtv or pick up a movie magazine and see about teenage moms like jamie lynn spears who had a baby at 17. it glamourizes the whole thing. >> no question that the media play as role in terms of exposure. the most important kids learn is what's at home. parents have to have expectations. moms need to talk frankly about their own sexual experiences, their own disappointments and what they expect their young girls and sons, how they expect them to behave. >> a lot of girls could be coming from broken homes. so a parent needs to have the conversation or the parent isn't equipped. >> i think the parent often isn't equipped to have the conversation. we need to give parent it is words and give them opportunities to say these are the things you can say.

you can have a trusting relationship with your daughter, with your son. it is our responsibility, each of us, to talk to children about making responsible healthful decisions for themselves. i mean, the impact is incredible. what janet mentioned but also on the child that's being born. low birthrate, difficult pregnancies, hypertension in the mother. these are things that happened with babies who are born when the mother is too young and not taking care of herself. >> it's a public health issue. we have to address it from the school, family and community. this is all of our responsibility. >> all right. janet taylor, thank you so much. dale adkins, as always, thank you. up next, we cat up with the kardashian sisters. ♪ express yourself ♪ ♪ express yourself ♪ ♪ oh, do it ♪ oh, do it ♪ express yourself

coming up on 8:38 now. back with an exclusive interview with actress kelly preston. she and john travolta are new parents again. the proud mom spoke with "today" national correspondent natalie morales. >> good morning, matt. i sat down with kelly preston in los angeles on monday for her first tv interview since benjamin was born. we talked about everything from mother hood to her religion and how baby benjamin brought her a new sense of purpose. >> it's so wonderful to bring another child into the world and to look at things through his eyes. he's so innocent and just so sweet. >> reporter: i understand that john actually came up with the name benjamin. >> he did. >> reporter: where did it come from?

>> two of our favorite names were benjamin and jett. so we would jockey between the two. always loved the name ben. i don't know. it's really a great boy's name and a man's name. it's also a gentle name and he is. he's just peaceful and gentle and very present. >> reporter: i love this issue of "people" magazine. i can't get enough of the picture and the gorgeous family shots. who does he look like? i see john's baby blues. >> exactly like his daddy. >> identical. >> we just saw a picture of johnny when he was an infant, the same age and jetty, too. three same pictures. >> reporter: benjamin is john and kelly's third child. their daughter ella blue is 10. their son jett died tragically in 2009 at the age of 16 after suffering a seizure. now kelly says the public support following benjamin's

birth is something that helped ease the family's heartache. >> it's been wonderfully healing. it's still every day, of course. but it's been -- i think a really nice gift for a lot of people throughout the world. we have gotten the most beautiful letters and the most beautiful notes of happiness. i think just sort of a sigh of relief. that's been really nice to sort of share that with people. >> reporter: you and john have both called benjamin a miracle. i know you went through a lot to have him. you tried for about three years. how is he your miracle? >> just for that reason. with both of our ages and that we tried for so long. we tried earlier as well. it was off and on for a while. but really for quite a few years. i just think any time you get pregnant at this age it is a miracle.

>> reporter: you have talked openly about your age. you're 48 years old. i know your doctors probably told you the risks. did you consider the risks of having a baby later in life? >> i didn't. not the risks. i just considered that it was difficult. i never thought that would be me at all. i think we're just really happy that we are so fortunate. >> reporter: why do you think it worked this time? >> just that we kept trying, i think. and we were blessed with just being lucky to be able to still conceive. >> reporter: i know, it's obviously well known that you and john are scientologists. you talked about having a silent birth. for those who don't understand, explain what that is. >> silent birth is just no words as much as possible. if you need to moan, cry out or all of that, of course, that's normal. but just bringing them in in as peaceful and gentle a way as possible because l. ron hubbard

found the single source of aberration of psychosomatic illness, stress, fear, worry, things like that have to do with the reactive mind. in that part of the mind is different words and commands that can come back to affect you later in life. i'm blessed with three -- you know, my kids have always been amazing. just very calm, peaceful, happy. i absolutely know that it's very much because of that. >> come to bed. the kids are asleep. >> reporter: these days kelly preston is a busy working mom. in addition to a new baby she has a new movie out "casino jack" starring kevin spacey based on the true story of disgraced washington lobbyist jack abramoff. she plays his wife pam. >> you work in washington now.

>> babe, washington is hollywood with ugly faces. >> reporter: why did you sign on for this? >> first and foremost because of kevin spacey. he's just so brilliant and always good in what he does. innovative and exciting as an actor. >> what was it about the relationship you had with each other? i know you were going through a hard time so you needed that. >> he was a lifesaver really. i didn't want to go back to work, but every day -- he's so naturally funny. he made me laugh and that was the greatest gift he could have given to me while we were working. >> as for her movie career kelly said she has no plans to go back to work right away. she wants to focus on her new baby, on her family. >> she's glowing. she really is. >> absolutely. >> good for them. congratulations. natalie, thank you very much. up next, the surprising truth about why some women cheat. first this is "today" on nbc.

back at 8:46. this morning on "today's relationships," why women cheat. the answers may surprise you. gary is here with kathy who was unfaithful to her ex-husband and was part of the research. good morning to you. gary, you researched 500 women for the book. you think of men as being the ones who cheat. you found a lot of women do as well. >> it was really shocking. four out of ten women said they had physically cheated on their husbands and more than half of the faithful women say they were seriously considering separation and divorce. >> most of the women who cheated

had not confided in their husbands. >> i think that's why we don't know about it. 62% of the cheating females said they hadn't admitted or told their husbands yet. >> kathy, you were married 15 years, two children. >> yes. >> what went wrong in the marriage that led you to cheat on your husband? >> you know, i think normal things went wrong in the marriage. marriage isn't perfect, especially after 15 years. you throw a couple kids into the mix and the fireworks can go out to a certain extent. but there were also things going on within me that, had i gone inward and addressed, i'm not sure it would have led to the divorce. >> so it wasn't just about sex? >> oh, no, no. it was far more about communication, number one. and just staying connected. i think there are so many distracting things in our society. we are not staying connected the way we should. >> and what happened to kathy is she met a man while training for

a half marathon and then running together they had that private time alone, that chance to communicate that she wasn't having with her husband. >> if you take some of the principles and apply them to your relationship you would be happy there. the number one thing women told me, which was brilliant, was that they were missing time with their men. >> that was the reason they strayed. >> that was ultimately what happened. happy women were spending 30 to 60 minutes or more a day uninterrupted and the unhappy women were spending much less. 22% were spending less than five minutes a day talking. >> so how did your husband figure this out and what was the reaction of friends and family? >> he figured it out by reading e-mail. the reaction from friends and family was harsh. i'm not going to say that i wasn't pretty obnoxious at that time. i was. i did push people away. i did that out of shame. but i lost most of my friends and even my family for almost a

year. >> you talk about a door being closed in your face. is there a double standard when it comes to infidelity for men versus woman? >> there is. let me tell you. we call her the mistress. what do we call him? we don't have a word that say what is he is. here are all these women suffering, nobody talking about it and it's great that people like kathy come forward in the research to say, yes, we need help. there are things you can do to prevent it and have a wonderful marriage. we can all learn from that. >> what can you do to prevent it? >> spending time. appreciating each other more because it costs nothing. women are so underappreciated and under valued in our system. they have to make money, take care of children and it goes by the wayside. surely getting men to understand women better is very important. we discussed it a lot in the works. then we get to sex. one of the surprising things is that women do enjoy lovemaking. as a matter of fact, women in a

happy relationship had double the amount of sex per month than women who were in unhappy relationships. when men say, my wife doesn't want to have sex, i say, she wants to have sex. maybe not with you. when you have the emotional connection it really speaks to everything including the bedroom. we have to work on it before it gets out of control. >> women so need the emotional connection for that healthy sex life. that's so important to women. >> your husband, i guess you tried to get back with him and he said, no go. >> too little too late. >> you have to live with that. >> guilt and regret are hard. >> thank you so much for being here. this will raise a lot of discussion. thank you so much. the book is connect to love. m. gary newman. up next, we head to the kitchen for a spin on the classic italian dish but first this is

tied. so season them up. we have a nonstick pan with a little bit of oil or stainless steel. we're going to sear those. >> this is a two-stage cooking process. you sear it in the pan -- >> and they go right into the oven. the key is we take the pan and we get a nice caramelization on the outside. so start it hot and then turn it down a little bit if it gets too much action going. >> okay. so after you have seared it for a little while you will use the same pan to make a medley of vegetables. >> a medley? >> you keep pounding. what kind of vegetables do you like? >> a medley. >> this could be anything. in the wintertime, i like nice bright vegetables to bring a little bit of springtime. broccoli, sugar snap peas,

julienne a carrot raw and red pepper. >> what's this? >> sherry vinegar. so we have the pan that's been in the oven. these have been finished. >> how long? >> they are in the oven about 15 minutes. there we go. >> so you're going to put in the vegetables now? >> we're going to take our chicken breasts out, use the same pan because i'm like everybody else. at home i don't like to wash. little bit of onion in there. saute that and we get all the vegetables in the pan. >> same pan. >> that is chicken saltimbocca. >> then we have pork stuffed with a little bit of vegetable and radicchio underneath. that's on the .

a few years rates will be higher and the last thing you want to run into is a situation where you can't afford your mortgage payments. if you decide you want to rent your property, the best way to be a landlord is to know exactly what your fixed overhead is. go for the refinance. lock in these rates. you'll be happy years from now. >> there you go, tiffany. best of luck. >> thank you. >> thank you for helping serve your country. let's go to some viewer e-mail. we have sharon from new orleans. she says, my parents have six credit cards owing $65,000. rates from 7% to 18%. fixed income, not enough to cover the expenses of power of attorney, they offered 30% of all totals. they offered a 10% reduction. then suggested her parents file for bankruptcy. reversed mortgage, not an option. don't know what to do. any suggestions or insight on how to deal with the credit card companies?

carmen? >> the credit card company knows something that you guys know. that you've got equity in that home. that your parents have assets. here's the thing. a credit card company is not going to want to settle with someone who has assets. they'll settle with someone who has no assets. they know you have money tied up in that home. they're not going to settle with you. what i suggest is -- you said this, they're looking to relocate in the near future. make that the very near future. don't forget if you take that 10% reduction on the debt, that's $6,500. that's a substantial reduction. you'll have to pay taxes on it as gains because it's forgiven debt. keep that in mind, too. >> now we'll go to the phone. we have melissa from florida. what is your question? >> caller: hi, al. where just got married last december. >> congratulations. >> caller: thank you. i already have my social security and i'm trying to

establish credit. i applied for a credit a couple of weeks ago, and they just told me that it's -- so i would appreciate if you can advice me how i can build my credit since i'm new in this country in my first attempt to have a credit card was denied. >> this is a great question for so many people who have limited credit history and want to build credit quickly. the first thing you need to do is look into getting a secured credit card. what this does is allow you to put a security deposit about $200 to $500 on this card. if you ever default on the card, they'll use that money if you went into problems. but this is a way to build your credit quickly. the other thing is you perhaps may want to become an authorized user on your spouse's card. that's another way to go. or to get him to co-sign on a card with you. don't keep applying for regular credit cards and getting denied. that's not going to help your credit history. and keep in mind if you need plastic, a prepaid card may be

one way to go, but you're not going to build credit with a prepaid card. >> thanks very much. now let's head back to the phones. michelle from maryland has a question for us. good morning, michelle. >> caller: good morning. the house we currently live in is owned by my husband and my brother-in-law. my brother-in-law due to a change in personal circumstances told us that he is moving out soon and will no longer be contributing to the monthly mortgage, an amount that he caninate afford by ourselves. since they bought the house, they have lost about $74,000 in value and cannot sell the house for what they paid for it. my husband and i would like to continue to live in the house and have my brother-in-law taken off the mortgage. would a loan modification make this possible or if we have to sell the house, what could we dee to make up the difference that we would owe on the house? >> david? >> oh, i hate when they have family partnerships. the first thing, do you know if your husband did a partnership

agreement with your brother-in-law prior to buying the home? >> caller: no. >> okay. very important. >> we've got to do a quick answer. >> you don't want to take him off the mortgage. if anything, you want to take him off the deed so you own the property without him. you want to leave him on the mortgage because he's liable for half of it. what are your options right now? see if he'll quitclaim the property to you, require him to pay for part of that mortgage. bring a renter in to help you out with cash flow. >> all right. short and sweet. there you go. much like myself. sharon, david and carmen, thank you so much. sharon is going to be sticking around for a live chat for those of you with additional questions. log on to todayshow.com sglchbl. coming up, glenn beck. hunds until william and kate walk down the aisle. you can feel the excitement.

what i realized is we are all alike. we have different problems but we are all generally alike. when we can open up and talk to each other and really be honest and really search for the truth and just let the chips fall where they may, we can fix things. >> i know the turning point for you was what you say your darkest moment. christmas eve, 1996. you had just been divorced at the time. what happened in that exact moment that you said, i need to turn things around? >> i couldn't afford gifts for my kids. just not even at cvs. i felt like such an amazing failure. i had lost everything. i didn't even know how to fix any of it. i just knew i couldn't live this way anymore. i knew that i had caused all of my problems.

that was probably the worst thing. it's easy to blame somebody, hate somebody else for it. it's hard when you really go, this is me. this is my fault. >> the reckoning moment. >> it was the moment of, okay, so now what are you going to do? are you just going to end it or figure out what you have done wrong, try to make amends for it and change your life? i stood up on that night and as keith and i have talked, i kind of expected that i would feel better after i stood up. i didn't. it was like four years later that i was like, oh, crap, i still feel like this. it's a long journey. >> it's been a long journey for you. dr. ablow, the book deals with the seven wonders -- courage, faith, truth, compassion, friendship, family, and common sense. they seem like basic concepts. how do they really transform a life when you feel like you are basically at the bottom? >> it's the way to use them. first, focus on them because i think it's important to think of each independently, but they

play off of each other. so it's important to know that the first step that glenn took included a lot of doubt, a lot of fear. but he had courage. if people can find that, they come to my office for that. if they can find it in themselves through the book, and i believe they can, to take the first step and beyond that in faith to say, you know, i'm not journeying into confusion. there is actually a path for me. there is something i'm meant to do in this world. i'm meant to be loved and love other people and bring gifts to this world. those two things together are powerful. >> you were never glenn's therapist. >> no. i will not take responsibility. >> do you think he needs therapy though? >> you have to understand, from my perspective -- >> you had to overcome and are still overcoming. >> the most intelligent people on the face of the planet should be getting therapy if they can pay for it. can you? >> i don't know.

depends on how the book sells. to answer the question, do i need therapy? i happen to be wearing a shirt without it. i'm sewing into all my shirt tails a little tag i made that says "be who you were born to be." so when i get dressed in the morning i have the reminder. don't be the person you have allowed yourself to become. be who you were born to be. that is a good, decent person that tries. >> let me ask you. a lot of people will say, one of the things appears to be now you being a very outspoken critic of liberals in particular. let me get to this. >> i knew you were going here. people don't like me -- >> you compare liberals to the if a sh fascists and nazis -- >> progressives, not liberals. >> since the tucson shooting

where people have criticized you, sarah palin, among others and they said it's exactly that tone and the political vitriol that's fuelling the fires? >> that's so crazy. i'm sorry to interrupt. but really we have so much work to do to repair the mental health system in america. a system that would send jared loughner home from college and say, don't come back. imagine if he had diabetes and was collapsing all over campus. what doctor would say, go home and never come back? >> they don't want the distraction. >> you look at the seven things. the 9/12 project. nine values and principles. look at those and say, don't read the book. if you're just going to read it, don't buy it. if your going to activate the words in it. if you want to change yourself. forget changing the country in washington because it's not going to happen. that's one thing i have learned. it's not going to happen.

we must change ourselves. our spending in our own lives is just as out of control as in washington. who are we to say, fix that? >> how do you respond to the accusations of people making to the criticism that they have been saying in the past week since the shooting that you may be somewhat to blame with the political discourse in the country? >> you go back to jefferson and adams. in 1800 the election of 1800 and listen to what they said about each other. jefferson was -- adams said if jefferson was elected your children were going to be raped and your villages would be burned. come on. come on. we had this kind of passion before. i'm not telling you that anyone's coming over to rape your children or burn your town down. >> well, we'll have to leave it there. clearly you will turn to the book for more answers. the book is called "seven wonders that will change your

life." great to have you with opwe houe y b're we hope you're bk for more, glenn. we'll be right back after this. what makes peter, peter ? , well, i'm an avid catamaran sailor. i can my own homemade jam, apricot. and i really love my bank's raise your rate cd. i'm sorry, did you say you'd love a pay raise asap ? uh, actually, i said i love my bank's raise your rate cd. you spent 8 days lost at sea ? no, uh... you love watching your neighbors watch tv ? at ally, you'll love our raise your rate cd that offers a one-time rate increase if our current rates go up. ally. do you love your bank ? lose those lines for up to a year! juvéderm® xc is the gel filler your doctor uses to instantly smooth out lines right here. temporary side effects include redness, pain, firmness, swelling, bumps, or risk of infection. ask your doctor about juvéderm® xc. go to hotwire.com. when four-star hotels have unsold rooms they use hotwire hot rates to fill them, so you get ridiculously low prices, backed by our low price guarantee.

this morning on "today's woman" how to wear long hair at any age. some women believe if you are over 40 long hair adds years to the face. but louis licari says all you need is the right cut to look great. good morning. >> good morning. >> where did the notion about once you turn 40 you have to chop the hair because it doesn't look good anymore? where did that come from? >> i think it's from the '60s when people wore their hair long and straight. it's not so much how long your hair is but the shape of the hair and how it goes with your face. >> and having a good style. >> great style so it lifts your face and makes you look young and pretty. >> is there any hair type or person -- shape face that

shouldn't have long hair? >> i think that a big mistake people make is if they have a full face they think they can cover it with long straight hair. doesn't work. it needs layers. you have to be careful as you become older. your hair does become -- the condition isn't as pretty. >> becomes more brittle or you get more gray. >> more gray. so it changes texture. you don't want it too light or too dark. all that's too aging. >> we have a good example. the celebrities are all wearing their hair long. everyone from sandra bullock to now on the cover of allure magazine jennifer aniston with the gorgeous hair she has. she's a person who consistently -- now she has the new bangs. looks great on her. she's consistently kept her hair longer. >> beautiful. the girls that can wear their hair really longer are genetically gifted. >> she is. we can't all be her.

>> for the mere mortals, there are tricks that we can -- tips, i should say, to make our hair look more pretty. >> let's talk about tobi. she has a round face. we look at the before picture with straight, long red hair. what was the problem here? >> she's a perfect example. her face is round so she did the cover. in fact, she used her hair not only to cover her face but she explained it as her protective blanket. she hid behind her hair. >> now she's gorgeous. >> look at her today. number one, this is dana actually. she layered her hair around her face. so the hair is long but shaped. it shows off her face shape, her cheekbones. her face is thinner. we see it, number one. it opens it up.

two, i changed the color. i made it softer. it was just very strong red. i like red to be more. that. so we made it a brown with soft highlights to show off the layers that make her look prettier. >> her hair looks so lustrous and healthy. >> young hair is shiny. hair becomes finer and loses the shine with age. hair color adds to both. >> speaking of finer hair, onto the next model. luca has fine, thin hair which is a problem for women as they get older. the hair was long so dragging her down. what did you do to give her the new look? >> let's look at luca now. >> beautiful. >> look at that. >> big difference. with luca, if you look at her, she loved her long hair. she found comfort in it. she felt young in the long hair but it was dragging her down.

>> yeah. >> she has made her face look more narrow. now. >> >> you look amazing. >> she has this layered hair cut that's completely tousled and i changed the highlights which were actually making her hair drab. i made her this slightly warmer color. >> made her fab. >> it belongs to her, not me. >> gorgeous. just vibrant hair. great texture, too. very nice. okay. let's take a look at the last model, miriam. she has long, wavy, gray hair. >> okay. she grew her hair, and grew it and grew her hair some more. >> and the color she didn't change either. >> she never changed the color. >> 20 years younger. >> 20 years younger at least. >> absolutely. >> we gave her a great chic bob, dana did. of course i covered the gray.

i find most people can appreciate gray on other women, not themselves. she felt comfortable with the gray but was ready for a change. of course the other tip to looking younger is a pinch of makeup. all the makeup was done by enid today. >> beautiful, ladies. you did cut their hair and you cut lengths but they still have a style and body. >> well, the thing is they look young, chic, and sexy. >> lovely ladies. >> there are no soccer moms here. >> nothing wrong with a soccer mom. what are you saying? coming up, a taste of south africa with delicious seafood recipes. but first this is "today" on nbc.

this morning, seafood dishes from south africa. we have the executive chef at

ruben's at the one and only capetown. his restaurant is inspired by the local food. nice to see you. >> good to meet you. >> using seafood to create fairly simple dishes. >> yes. i think when it comes to seafood you want to try and keep it simple. just to sort of like keep the pure flavors of that. in south africa now i think we like cooking with fresh ingredients. >> what are we using here? >> in south africa we use snook and yellowtail. this is red snapper. >> not to be confused with snooki. >> no, no. what is that? >> we ask the same question many times. what else are we putting in? >> just to start off i'll blend that up first. just to get it nice and smooth. i want it smooth but at the same time slightly chunky, so we are going to mix the prawns in there

that we just chopped up. we'll put that back. pulse it again. just going to fold that in there. just want to quickly add egg whites. >> that binds it together. >> binds it together. i have some rice flakes that we are going to use to coat and keep a bit of crispiness. >> gluten free. >> yeah. so there we have sesame oil. this i'm going to scoop in there. >> it's almost like a paste. >> like a paste. it cooks quickly. i try and make the little bowls not too big. that we just mix through there. >> right. >> like so. >> so you have chunkiness. >> just a little bit of chunkiness, just like that. get it in there.

then just take a spoon to make a little bowl. i put that in there. just to make it easier. >> so you dredge it in the rice flakes. make a little ball. i have made some already. >> mm-hmm. >> i just added that in there. >> how long do they take? >> when you have the color they are there. a little bit more than a minute. >> that's lovely. >> then we just remove it and a little bit more of the south african touch. i use rooibos tea. i don't know if you know it. >> yes. >> very nice. and a little bit of thyme leaf, sea salt. that's just ground up. like so. as a little snack ball canape you can serve it like that.

sprinkle a little bit of that over. >> that's wonderful. what do we have back here? >> our second dish, again, this is beautiful with barbecued snook. i'm going to use grouper which is locally available to season that up. >> hi. >> hello. >> that looks amazing. >> then put it in. >> i like to keep the skin on. some people don't. >> gives it the crispiness. >> and i think it adds more flavor. >> right. >> that's how i'm going to put that in there. >> wow. >> barbecue, you need a big steak like that. >> that's a big one. >> that's a lot of fish. and we're running out of time here. >> the marinade, i have soy sauce, apricot jam, butter. >> ends up like this. what is the condiment here? >> salsa. cucumbers, cilantro, tomato. >> very fresh. >> nice to top it off with that. >> thank you so very much.

>> some day we'll visit south africa. >> good to see you. >> nice to meet you. thank you very much. >> coming up next we have holly madison stopping by to talk with hoda and kathie lee. >> after your local news and weather.

big night knows that coffee and aspirin helps. >> aspirin and water. lots of water. >> no. because coffee dehydrates you. that is not what it is. >> they're always messing with us. i get tired of it. don't you? >> by the way, how is your wallet? i hear a rumor that suze orman wants to take over your wallet and organize you. >> here's the thing. >> it's still the same? >> yes. my wallet doesn't bother me. it might bother everybody who sees it like the guy in the gym today who said to me, show me this thing. here's the deal. for instance, today we had to go do "morning joe." for us to walk from our studio to the "morning joe" studio.
