them to get home and they're not there. >> how hannah is doing today, thursday, october 10th, 2013. >> from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a thursday morning. i'm savannah guthrie. >> i'm matt lauer alongside al roker and the guy gets a lawn mower, a leaf blower and he said the government is not going to be able to cut the grass here at the lincoln memorial, i'm going to do it. >> any silver lining, it's how we seen private citizens really step up in these days of washington dysfunction. >> apparently been doing it for days and got chased away from the police. wasn't supposed to be doing it. but chipped in and rolled up his sleeves.

we'll talk more about that in trending today. but first today's top story. the kidnapping of libya's prime minister. he has been let go, but still a lot of questions about the group that took him and why they did. nbc chief foreign correspondent richard engel is here with more on that. richard, good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. it seemed that no one is really in charge of libya these days. in the early morning hours gunmen abducted the prime minister and held him at gunpoint for several hours and then released him. this grainy photograph is of libya's prime minister disshelved and disoriented as he was snapped from a hotel in tripoli by gunmen before dawn. libya's transitional government in a cryptic statement said prime minister ali zeidan was taken to an unknown place for unknown reasons. with the prime minister missing, the rest of the government rallied in support at an emergency meeting. prime minister zeidan had had been living at the five-star

crithia hotel in tripoli until according to the director 15 cars and around 100 men surrounded the building at 4:00 a.m. the gunman came in with a paper. they said it was a warrant for the prime minister's arrest. and they took him, he said. no shots were fired. a militia of former rebels who fought against gadhafi known as the control room of revolutionaries claimed responsibility for taking the prime minister, arguing it was "a legal arrest based on allegations of corruption." the government said no such warrant exists. sources in tripoli tell nbc news the detention was also retaliation for a raid in tripoli last weekend by u.s. special operations netting an accused al qaeda militant. some libyans were furious that their government was too weak to prevent the u.s. operation. or as the "new york times" reported wednesday, maybe even sanctioned it. more than two years after

washington helped rebels drive out gadhafi, libya remains lawless. a sanctuary for extremists operating with impunity they can and this morning said they did detain the prime minister. in another very strange twist to this strange story, the militia group that initially said it was responsible for kidnapping the prime minister later came out and said it wasn't them, it had nothing to do with it. imagine this matt and savannah. you have an armed group taking hostage the prime minister, holding him at gunpoint for several hours, releasing him and then denying they had anything to do with it. >> a lot of questions as we said at the onset, thank you. >> thank you very much. growing anger this morning from veterans around the country over the government's failure to provide for families of fallen u.s. service members and now we're learning politicians were, in fact, warned about this. nbc chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell is on it for us. good morning.

>> good morning, savannah. when we first reported the story how could the u.s. government not pay emergency death benefits to families of men and women who had died serving their country. this morning it is clear that despite all that public outrage over the past few days, people in washington knew this would happen even before the government shut down. for days now, we heard the outrage on capitol hill. >> it's disgraceful that they're withholding these benefits. >> now being denied death benefits because of this senseless shut down. >> i'm ashamed. i'm embarrassed. >> reporter: lawmakers complaining that families of u.s. service members are not getting emergency death benefits because of the government shutdown. the outrage spread to the white house. wednesday, president obama told doreven gensler -- >> when i heard about this story i told the department of defense within our administrative powers, we should be able to get that fixed. >> reporter: but at a press

conference several days before the sut down, the pentagon warned this could happen. >> some examples we couldn't pay death gratuities to those who die on active duty during the lapse. >> reporter: wednesday as the remains of four service members killed in afghanistan last weekend arrived at dover air force base the house passed a bill that would restore the emergency benefits for families. >> we not provide the grieving families with their needed support in their time of need. >> reporter: late wednesday, the white house and justice department scrambled to find a fix. >> no one wants to be a political and that's how a lot of veterans feel right now. they're stuck in the middle of this political debate. whether it be death benefits and whether it be v.a. comp and pension. >> reporter: so ken fisher who heads a private organization for veterans and their families stepped in to pay the benefits after seeing our report on "today." >> they're grieving and they

suffered enough, why on earth should they have to worry about where their next dollar is coming from. >> reporter: also stepping up, jefferson's restaurant in belleville, illinois, which posted a message on facebook offering to donate 100% of their profits wednesday to the families of the fallen. >> maybe if one person does it, 100 more will do it and then we'll help more people out. >> reporter: the pentagon will reimburse the fisher house charity once the shut down is over and today the special operation warrior foundation a nonprofit in tampa, florida, is also stepping up to present $20,000 to each family of those troops killed in afghanistan this past weekend. matt? >> all right, andrea, thank you very much. retired army journal jack jacob haun honored for his hero actions. got the blame game going now. we have the pentagon and we have congress and actually both ends of pennsylvania avenue. where does the blame lie in your opinion? >> well, plenty of blame to go

around. lies at both ends. somebody recently said, the biggest threat, the most dangerous place in the world, the biggest threat to the united states is that terrain between the white house on one end and the congress on the other. they both have a lot to answer for. >> the national commander of the vfw, jack, had this to say. absolutely appalling and nothing short of a travesty that elected officials continue to receive paychecks and benefits while providing for those who deserve it the most. if the government is unable to take care -- what has this done to the trust that needs to exist between the military and the government? >> it is eroded it quite substantially. the most vocal people are those who have been in the service and are now out. people who are inside the service are very, very quiet and for good reason. t the people who have been in service, the veterans, are speaking out quite dramatically and if this continues, by the

way, we ain't seen nothing yet. >> let me mention a couple of things because eric shin shecky said if it continues nearly 4 million vets won't be sent disability checks and surviving vets and dependents will not receive pension payments. >> if you think it can't happen to you, when the government runs out of money which will be honored before the first of november unless the debt ceiling will be raised, no social security payments either. a lot more people will be affected by this, by this malfesance in washington. very, very unpleasant. >> colonel, good to see you. >> let's hope some progress is made in washington later today when house republicans sit down with president obama for a meeting they say they have been waiting for. peter alexander is live at the white house with more on this. peter, good morning. >> savannah, good morning to you. there are some possible short-term solutions floating out there. consider the intensity of the stalemate. ahead of the meeting here at the white house the president and republican leaders couldn't agree on a guest list.

president obama inviting all 232 house republicans, but speaker john boehner insisting only 18 will come. how dysfunctional is d.c., even the invite list for this afternoon's white house meeting required negotiations. with the u.s. barreling towards its borrowing limit, the so-called debt ceiling deadline now exactly one week away, few signs of real progress. house democrats huddling with the president late wednesday. >> the debt ceiling needs to be lifted. >> reporter: among the glimmers of hope, some republicans are weighing their willingness to accept a short-term debt limit deal and top republicans shifted their focus away from gutting the president's health care law. in an interview with wrc, president obama warned of economic turmoil if the u.s. doesn't cover its debts. >> the financial markets can't even imagine that we would get to a point when we wouldn't be paying our bills. >> reporter: still, a group of hard core republicans who summed

up the debt limit deniers said the president is exaggerating the impact. >> i'm not advocating we go through the debt ceiling deadline. but what am i saying is if you go through it, you will not default. >> the debt ceiling does not equal default. >> reporter: most federal budget experts call that talk, dangerous. >> this is the equivalent of saying, you know, let's push the button on a nuclear bomb and see what happens after it goes off. >> reporter: still texas senator ted cruz who spear headed the opposition to obama care touting the strategy as a success. telling "people" magazine he opposes the shut down but adding, i think we accomplished a great deal already. we have elevated the debate nationally. both parties are taking a hit in their aprival ratings as a result these days for the republican brand aporing to be much worse. a new gallup poll shows only 28% of americans say they have a favorable view of republican party.

that's the lowest number since they began asking that question 21 years ago. >> all right, peter alexander at the white house, thank you so much. >> the republicans seem to be taking the bigger hit. >> i saw a poll recently that congress's approval rating is now at 5%, which makes you wonder who is that 5%. >> all-time low. news overnight, edward snowden's father has arrived in moscow. natalie has that and much more. >> he is in moscow in an effort to meet with his son. he spoke to journalists at the airport where edward was stuck for more than a month before he was granted temporary asylum in russia. he said he wasn't sure whether his son would ever return to the united states. >> and i am thankful, extremely thankful, again, to the russian people. president vladimir putin and his staff for the support that they have provided my son in terms of keeping him safe and secure. >> meantime edward snowden is still wanted in the united states for charges including

espionage. a three-star admiral was fired wednesday amid allegations that he used counterfeit chips at an iowa casino. the deputy commander of u.s. nuclear forces is being reassigned to the navy staff until an investigation is over. iowa officials say the admiral used $1,500 in fake chips during a recent visit. he has not been charged with a crime. it is every roller coaster rider's worst nightmare getting stuck right at the top, but that is exactly what happened at universal studios in orlando, florida, wednesday night. 12 people were left stranded when the rip rocket came to a stop at the worst possible time right there. a computer glitch was to blame. riders were rescued after about 2 1/2 hours. no one was hurt and universal studios owned and operated, of course, by nbc universal. and caught on camera. a moving train slams into an 18-wheeler sending large metal pipes flying. this happened in midland county, texas. the truck driver had gotten out after his big rig bottomed out at the track.

watch as the train, though, smashes into the truck and it launches those pipes everywhere. one crossing arm was damaged in the crash. unbelievable that no one was hurt in this crazy video. and crazy incident there in midland county, texas. >> got lucky. >> they really did. >> that video is unbelievable. >> speaking of unbelievable. natalie, man. >> i'm very bright. >> can you stand over here and model. >> very bright. >> talking about your outfit. >> all right. >> it's that you're reminded as a creamsicle. >> you don't see that at the end of every newscast. >> you stole walt d-- >> talking about a coastal storm coming up along the northeast coast. areas that were already affected

repeatedly to get help for him. fbc's john yang is at minneapolis airport. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. this morning, the father does want to keep his and his son's identity a secret. he also desperately wants to get help copeing with his son's behavior. a hooded sweatshirt and baseball cap may have hidden the face of the 9-year-old's father, but nothing could hide his frustration. >> will somebody help me, please? >> reporter: two days before getting on a flight to las vegas, his 9-year-old son stole a delivery truck, slamming into a parked suv and crashing into a police car, all on suspension from school for fighting. >> they said he was a minor. they couldn't do nothing because he was a minor. so i'm asking for help. >> reporter: child protective services have been locking in on the boy since december but

hasn't taken any action. psychotherapist adrian schroetter was a social worker in new york city. >> probably at his wits end. a lot of times he is set up for crisis. many parents saw that same story, they say, that's my child. i know how he feels. >> reporter: in las vegas the boy is ending a full week in child protective services. a nevada family law attorney says that's likely because of his history. >> i think they are going to investigate in minneapolis to make sure it's a protective environment and that he's saved. >> reporter: meanwhile, his father admitting once the boy arrives hope, he'sed a his wits end at what to do next. >> they're talking double jeopardy, with my son i get locked up. if i let my son keep on doing what he's doing, i get in trouble. i'm a parent. i'm not perfect. >> reporter: a family spokesman says authorities here have told him they expect the boy to be returned to minneapolis as soon

there at his house is the plan. >> so you get in the car, where do you go and at what point did you realize something is really wrong? >> when we got to his house and my mom's car wasn't there. >> did he say something that let you know he had some pretty bad plans? >> when i got into the house, he handcuffed me and zip tied my feet. he told me that he was going to kidnap me and take me to idaho where my intention was just to carry his backpacks to the river and that he was going to live there and he'd get me home afterwards. >> did he say anything about where your mom and brother were? >> he told me my brother was in the garage and ethan was upstairs and that the whole time that they were alive, the whole time that i didn't know. >> did you feel in fear of your life? >> yeah. when we got into the house, after he told me the plan, he made me play russian roulette with him sitting on the couch

and that -- >> with a real gun? >> yeah. and when it was my turn i started crying and like was freaking out and he said, do you want to play? i said, "no. "i started crying. then he was like, okay, he stopped. >> how long do you think you were at the house? >> from what i remember about two or three hours and then he drugged me and i was out and then i woke up in idaho. >> when you say he drugged you, do you know what kind of drugs? >> we believe he gave me ambien. >> there was a time in the house i thought you heard your brother? >> yeah, i heard him trying to yelp upstairs. but he was gakleak like gagged. i couldn't do anything. >> he was restraining you. >> yes. >> the next thing you know, are

if you say something, i'm going to have to kill them. so i'd have to sit and act normal. and they'd come up and look at us and we would be quiet but jim would talk to them and then they'd left. >> well, as we now know, those hikers were suspicious. they saw the amber alert, they called the authorities. the authorities found you and confronted jim. >> mm-hmm. >> what do you remember about that moment? >> i was on the ground in front of the fire. he was trying to start a fire to signal for help. then all of a sudden the fire wasn't working. so i told him, i said i'd rather not if you fire the gun in the air three times, it means sos. he fired once, he fired at this time second time and lowered it. then a bunch of guns went off. i looked and he fell on the ground. i looked over, i said, are you

gues guess? >> all right. this has been such a terrible unspeakable ordeal. how do you think hannah is doing? >> first, in getting help and talking with each other, trying to get strong and know that we need to move forward, that's what her mother would want. >> you got on social pedia pretty soon after you got back. one of the questions people asked apparently in the home they found a series of letters between jim and you from i think about a year ago or more than a year ago. can you explain what those letters were about? >> a year ago my mom and dad split up and me and my mom really didn't get along a year ago so when i was having problems with her and i didn't have anyone to talk about it with, me and him instead of talking face to face, if we didn't have time or like calling, we'd write letters back and forth talking about like the situation and how to get through it. >> i think this is so puzzleing

because all of you describe somebody that you would never guess would do something leak this. but there was that time that he said something about having a crush on you. what did he say and what did you think? >> i'd always want to bring my friend up to his house because we'd always play games and stuff and he'd get upset that it was a boy. and he would, he told me, he said, it's not that i don't want your friend up here, it's that i don't want to see you kissing your friends or anything like that because i have a crush on you. not a crush that like feeling a crush other than family, like i care about you and it kind of seemed like really weird. >> did you try to kind of keep your distance a little bit more? >> yeah, exactly. he got upset about that and would always text me and say that i was rude and i was trying to stay out of his life. basically, i was after that, but i couldn't because he was my dad's best friend and he was

always there for my mom. >> hannah, when you think about him now, how do you feel about him? are you angry? are you sad? >> disgusted, shocked, mostly sick and angry. >> there was an amber alert out for you, that's how the hikers put the pieces together. what would you want to say to them, if you could? >> that would you i probably wouldn't be here right now and thank you. >> would you like to meet them some day? >> yeah. >> what if i told you they're here? >> right now? >> yeah. i can bring them out. would you like to meet them? >> sure. >> okay. we got christa and mark john and mike and mary young. >> hi. >> they really wanted to give you a hug. >> how are you? h

>> we are back now at 8:36. graffiti, of course, in new york, nothing new. when it's done by an artist so secretive almost no one knows his name. it garners attention. >> we know this guy goes by the name of bankcy, he has a huge following. claire simmons is trying to track him down. >> i have searched high and low for this guy. he's the world's scarment lt /*

scarlett pimpernel. who is bankcy, have you seen bankcy? >> no who is bankcy? >> a vandal, an artist. >> ever seen what? >> controversial commenter, always clan dec teened. have you seen bankcy? >> i guess i can't. >> reporter: he began in the '90s, inspired by an american graffiti artist, notorious in britain and has spread around the world with a members of politics, humor and interest. they are in hidden places like down this side street, past the coach and horse's pub, there it is. now he's hiding them in new york locate if you cross the bridge, here in brooke len, there it is.

always unseen, bankcy's here for a month. i think he's called better out than in. a new banksy appears in new york. the next one, celebrities like brad pitt and angelina jolie have a banksy. >> folks, i have absolutely zero respect for this elusive slimy street fan. >> reporter: bank is see's worth can be worth millions. they get torn down and sold. >> folks, this terrifies me. it's a little phone fact, my studio has walls. >> reporter: and to some, you can listen to all your commentary like a museum. well, almost. are you looking at one of the great artworks of the 21st century? if so, are you in the wrong place. >> reporter: even more bizarre, this delivery truck stopping in an undisclosed location every

night. banksies are sometimes trashed in minutes. the fleeting life span driving fans of social media, to hunt down banksy before it's too late. banksy himself is as fleeting as his art. some reports say he has been spotted. even a 2010 documentary had his face hidden. in london, we tracked down his former barber. >> what did he look like? >> i can't tell you. that's a no. >> reporter: in new york, he agreed to an interview with the village voice, anonymously, of course. why is he here? new york calls the graffiti writers, he says, we all want to prove ourselves here. even while he hides in the shadows. >> are you banksy? >> so just to recap, banksy is an english guy about my age. he lives in london. right now, he's in new york so who could he be, guys?

>> someone with some artistic talent. >> i think it's outrageous this new york graffiti artist is wiping out his stuff. that's not cricket. >> that's not cricket. no. >> that's terrible. >> so the question is, though, is this vand ammism or is it art? you can't complain about someone coming and sweeping up your spray paint you put on someone else's wall. >> he will be in paris next week. >> you have to follow him. it's beautiful. some real works of art. that one is real. >> stephen colbert is calling these people. >> are you a fan? >> did he say that? >> welcome to new york. >> strong letters to follow. thank you so much. coming up next, we talk to first time actor and tom hanks' co-star in the new movie

over the bridge of the miersk alabama, so the first time you laid your eyes on tom hanks was when you shot that scene, were you disappointed you didn't get to meet him beforehand? >> i was a little scared, disappointment. me and my friend, too, we wanted to see tom. i understood the situation of the scene like how important it was for the director. so i just took it. >> and paul greengrass said to you, when you enter this bridge and shoot this scene, you into ed to own this scene. >> yes. >> so you are acting. you have never acted before, you are acting opposite one of the greatest actors of our time, how did you own the scene? >> i had to come out with all i got. i used a lot of imagination, i know where he's coming from. i talked to a lot of people that came back from somalia and i read a lot of pirate stories and i let it be. i used my imagination.

>> you say you used your imagination, that line we saw in the opening clip, you look at tom hanks and you go, "i'm the captain now," that wasn't in the script? you ad libbed against one of the great actors there is. >> i didn't ad-lib, i became the character, you know, i tried to get, you know, to be that guy for that moment. >> now, tom hanks, by the way, he said when he first laid eyes on you coming in that bridge shooting that scene, he called you the skinniest most terrifying guy he had ever met. you have a lot of pressure on you, not only as a first time actor, but you also were a little concerned at how this movie would portray somalis and how they would be perceived in the community where you lived. >> absolutely. i'm just a person, you know, i live in america. so i just wanted to do the best

i can. you know, i love acting. i just wanted to swhee i can do as an actor. >> i think it's important to note even though this movie or as this movie is getting academy award buzz, people are talking about your performance and tom hanks' performance. at the moment, you are back driving a limo in indianapolis. >> i'm not sure, i moved on to my brother's store. >> you moved on to your brother's store, you want to continue to act? >> i will continue to act. >> you think can you find roles? >> i hope so. >> you are amazing in this movie and i think, you know, no offense to tom hanks, in some ways you stole this film. so congratulations. >> tom helped me a lot to get the part out, you know, he would motivate me in a lot of ways, paul, too. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, what a pleasure to meet you. captain philips hits theaters tomorrow t. real captain philips, by the way, will be

chris, good morning, good to see you. >> how are you, guys? >> the slow cooker can yield a gore pay meal. >> this is leak i can't believe you did that in a slow cooker, think about a slow cooker. people think it's bones and soups and stuff. it's a teeny oven. it's a moist environment. it's small, so it's great for doing stuff that other people would do in an oven. so the french cook whole chicken, an oval casserole. this is perfect for it. the only thing we node to do is create flavor, slow cookers tend to take flavor out of things because there is a lot of moisture. so we have some garlic here in oil. we have some chili powder, garden salad. mix that in. we put that in a microwave for a minute. >> why the microwave? >> it blooms the spices to bring them out. so now we have that mixture here. >> this is why i'm doing this

if you think about shrimp the problem is they overcook for 30 seconds and they're done. we will create a poaching oil. we have slivers of garlic. we have also smoked paprika and red pepper flakes. we put that in. this is the mixture that goes in here 30 minutes on low, you are creating a lot of flavor. we have two pounds of shrimp. we have to shelf them. one way is to take your finger leak this, go through, take the legs off, separate the urschel. >> why couldn't you get them peeled? sorry. a crazy question. >> you can boy them and they're peeled. you might want to use a paring knife like this, see if there is a small vein in here. those go in. this is the liquid in now for 30 minutes. put the 2 pounds of shrimp in, the top on for 20 minutes. >> wow.

a year ago, so when i was having problems with her and i didn't have anyone to talk about it with, me and him, instead of talking face-to-face because we didn't have time or like calling, we'd write letters back and forth talking about like the situation and how to get through it. >> there was that time he said something about having a crush on you, what did he say and what did you think? >> i'd always want to bring my friend up to his house because we'd always play games or stuff. he'd get really upset that it was a boy and he told me that it's not that i don't want your friend up here, it's i don't want to see you kissing your friends or anything like that because i have a crush on you, not a crush like feeling a crush other than friends, like family, like i care about you. it kind of seemed like really weird. >> did you troy to keep your distance a little more? >> yeah, exactly. he got upset and would text me

and say that i was rude and i water staying out of his life. basically, i was after that. but i couldn't because he was my dad's best friend and he was always there is for my mom. >> hannah, when you think about him now, how do you feel about him? are you angry? are you sad? >> sick, disgusted. shocked. just mostly sick and angry. >> so sad when she made remarks about still missing her mother and brother and waiting when she comes home from school, waiting for them to walk in the door. clearly, it's only been eight weeks, she's got a lot of healing to do. i'm sure there is a lot of emotions that come through this. to back it up a bit the reason she brought up those letters and the relationship with dimaggio, a lot of people question, was there something going on will? what kind of relationship was there beforehand? she explained it well.

she was clearly a trouble teen, her parents were going through divorce, she was looking for someone she trusted. >> there had been those whispers, innuendo, what was going on? she was scared. >> when you hear about the creepiness of him saying he had a crush on her. >> thankfully, though, those strangers on horseback were a good-send, in fact, we reyou fighted them earlier with savannah. take a look. >> you have them? >> okay. we got christa and mark john and mike and mary young. >> hi. >> they really wanted to give you a hug. >> i feel in a grandma's place, how i would feel. we are so thrilled to see you and we brought you -- >> they hugged each other. there was a real emotional moment there. but just a remarkable young lady. you hope she has a lot of people helping her and a good support system to get through this.

>> that was a nice thing. they saw something that didn't make sense, they alerted authorities. >> it didn't square up. >> in effect, they saved her life a. super life. you can watch that whole interview by the way on today.com with savannah and hannah anderson. on a lighter note, kenye and jimmy kimmel getting together. >> it was awkward. >> a twitter feud you will remember him kenye went crazy on jimmy kimmel on twitter a. war of words after kimmel hired child actors to portray kenye and portray a video. >> you say i'm trying to rejurnlgtate myself. what about design? i'm a protector. anything can you think about brought six years ago to sandy and they said no. i mean, how many have you done?

where is the callture at? where is the culture at? >> that's the original gaffe several request weeks ago. that's what kenye was responding to when he went off on jimmy kimmel. i think a lot of people thought this was a publicity stunt. it was not. here's the interview. >> i'm not running for office, you know what i'm saying. i'm just here to make good music, make people feel good when they hear my music. you know, when i did that interview, i was vocal about a lot of things i have been dealing with over the past ten years and classification of guest of celebrities. for me, i'm a creative genius, there is no other way to say it about yourself. i am totally weird and totally honest and totally inappropriate at times. for me to say i wasn't a genius, i would be lying to you and myself and the way paparazzi talks to me and my family is

disrespectful also. we bring something of joy to the world him when people hear my music, they have a good time. i should be respected. don't ask me a question about something you saw in the tabloids, don't try to antagonized me, it's not safe in this zoo. don't think i'm not from chicago for one second. >> it is the gift that keeps giving. >> in the gings, it's almost like kimmel was apologizing sort of. >> he was. >> jimmy, come on, we expected more from you. >> jimmy tried to explain the joke a bit. kenye took over. i will say something, i watched the whole interview, it was 30 minutes long. he went in to reflect. after 30 minutes, i totally understood what he was talking about. i did. >> do you think he's a genius? >> i don't say you should compare yourself to michelangelo and jesus, that's kenye

prerogative. >> really? >> i understand people want him to be a rapper and stay in that box. he's more than that, he wants to do all these other things, it's okay to be weird. it is. >> you got somebody like jay-z who is, i would think. >> a creative genius. >> on a level if not a little higher than kenye. >> don't you start something here. >> he lets his actions and all the other stuff speak for him. you don't hear jay-z speak about himself. >> he does koul call him good hova. kenye knows he is worried. he the telling people, deal with me. >> totally uninhibited. he speaks his mind. good for him. >> by the way, do you think he cares? the funny thing, he'll go on twitter and people will start junk on us for jumping on kenye.

>> i want to go on the record, i'm pro-weird, which makes me pro-kenye. >> you are in the kimmel camps. >> watch the interview. >> he did make valid point when he talked about the paparazzi, how they view these animals, like zoo animals. it's true, they get hounded every day. that's unfair, i agree, i do think he's a little way out there. >> he is. >> that's why i love him. >> watch the full interview. watch the interview. this one, i don't know about, a brooklyn restaurant that has banned talking. for the talking. >> for 90 minutes. >> a 90 minute meal twice a month. there is a four course meeshlgs 90 minutes long, no conversation allowed. >> it's like going to a buddhists, the owner said he wanted people to focus more on the food. can you imagine like if you have to sneeze or you have to comment

on the food. one of the diners said they actually left the restaurant to sneeze, because they were afraid of making so much noise. >> is there a punishment, like a blow dart in maybe knock you down? >> i think we should go try it out. >> no. >> could you not talk for 90 minutes? >> if i'm by myself, even thoen then i think i can only make 30. >> it's refreshing, actually. >> who do you think of the courses? do they take the plate? >> does the waiter go, how's your meal, sir? >> no, you can't talk. the waiter gives you whatever you want. >> it's like, marseilles marseilles. >> honey, i got to do the weather. >> no talking. >> are you going mime it? >>

individual officers who are at the exits of sweeney hall, staking out that area. again, a shelter in place has been issued, but only for sweeney hall on the san jose state campus. reporting live in san jose. back to you. >> all right. before you go, are they keeping their students inside at all? are they -- what are they doing -- telling students in that area? it sounds like it's kind of a fluid situation out there. >> reporter: it is an extremely fluid situation because according to the officer i just spoke with a few seconds ago, he said they have not actually specifically seen the officer -- rather, the gunman. there was just a report that ju the gunman going into sweeney hall, but he has not been visibly spotted by officers as of yet. what they are doing is they're issuing a shelter in place, meaning that the students who are already inside sweeney hall cannot come out. they're supposed to shelter in place in their individual classrooms.

i can tell you that other professors have been coming out in nearby buildings encouraging students not to hang out in front of the buildings and to get inside as quickly as possible. overall students are pretty casual, and they are walking right along side the buildings that are right next to sweeney hall. >> all right. we got a report from san jose state university. the report, a description of the gunman. a white male, all black clothing, possible handgun, and now an update that the gunman could be hiding that handgun in his waist band. anything else? anything new that you are hearing from them? >> reporter: no. i just talked to officer mackey on the scene. they did not disclose any more about the description of the gunman at this point, but they are looking at everybody as a possible suspect. >> we're hoping to get another update from san jose state university campus officials at 10:45 this morning. meantime, we're going to stay on the story as we return you back to the "today" show this morning. reports of a gunman on san jose state university campus. we'll have the very latest

♪ everyone has a moment that changes their life and then it's suddenly clear ♪ today we meet our newest "everyone has a story" contest winner. teresa sario. >> a devastating accident on a street in new york changed teresa's life. we'll meet her in a moment. first, let's listen to her amazing story. >> my name is teresa sareo. i'm a singer/songwriter from new york city. on june 11th, 2002, less than a month afterify 40th birthday, i was walking in midtown manhattan and was suddenly struck by an impaired driver. i lost my entire right leg at my hip on impact. i woke up from a coma at bellevue hospital a week later and was told what happened to me. i was utterly devastated. disabled and disfigured, i thought my career as an entertainer was over. i had no idea what life on one leg would be like.

at this point, my long journey of recovery began. it takes a village to survive trauma. i relied on the support of loved ones, doctors and caregivers, but ultimately it was my life of music that saved me. music therapy was immediately implemented during my inpatient rehab treatment. from the nurses playing my original cds in the icu to using vocal exercises to help regain my respiratory strength. but it was the act of visiting and singing for other trauma patients that truly transformed me. by sharing my experience through song with others in need, i found a new life's mission. i have since dedicated my life and career to advocating for trauma survivors, especially our wounded military. i became the first civilian to sing the national anthem at walter reed army hospital. and the first u.s. performer to tour our wounded warrior

transition units in europe. it was one of the proudest moments of my life. >> okay. and teresa is here along with her doctor. dr. david rockaforte. there's a beautiful relationship here. because you were -- we were listening to your story. you were -- you can't keep your hands off the man. he means a lot to you, doesn't he? >> david was one of the first people to know me from the moment i was changed forever. and so it's a special relationship. >> you know what's interesting about you. we're watching you watch the piece and we watch you go through the trauma and you are watching the piece in an inquisitive way. as soon as you start talking about how you're helping other people, that's when you get emotional. it's not about you. it seems like it's always about the others out there. >> you know, i started giving back really for selfish reason was to help make me feel better because, you know, when you go through a trauma and a loss like this, you are completely

devastated. you don't know what -- no one gives you a rule book or a hand book. >> your future never looked like that. >> exactly. >> in any scenario. >> so you trend to gravitate towards people who know what your suffering is like. >> that really caught my eye because i did the same thing with my sister during the vietnam war at walter reed, right where you were. we had a little group and we used to sing to the guys. and it changed my life forever. >> it does. it just does. >> and they're so grateful you come and see them and you understand. you, far more than we did. you are one of them. and so it's a club you never want to join but once you are there, i can imagine the friendships you're making now. >> the blessings behind every tragedy and there are many, and it takes a long time to open your heart to see them, but, really, it's the people you meet along the way. and when you sit with our wounded troops, there's a blessing that comes to you that, really, you can't describe. >> as a doctor and now -- when

you watch how far she's come, it's got to be remark believe. >> we're always happy treating trauma patients when we can get them back doing the things they were doing before they were injured. and she was singing within a few weeks, which, that was rewarding for us. but what she has done since then has really been impressive and humbling to see and especially coming back to bellevue and volunteering as an amputee peer counselor and helping out injured patients. >> i love all of the -- "everyone has a story" but what i love is you are actually going to perform the song that kathie and david wrote for you. it makes it extra special. >> it's very special. very rare performance. she's about to take the stage and sing the song that david and i wrote for her right after this.
