mind, drought concern. >> that's what. happening "today in the bay." back at 7:25. >> join us at 11:00. good morning. double whammy, a powerful storm several countries reportedly received letters threatening their athletes and warning their team not to go to sochi. how american technology could help prevent terrorist bombings during the games. failing grades. with startling results of new crash tests on those popular sub

compact cars. and in harm's way, a woman grabs an 8-year-old boy and runs to safety seconds before an suv slams into a restaurant. the terrifying scene today, wednesday, january 22nd, 2014. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1-a in rockefeller plaza. >> and good morning. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning, i'm matt lauer. >> and i'm savannah guthrie alongside al roker and tamron hall in for natalie this morning. and baby, it's cold outside. >> this thing performed as predicted. and now the cold is setting in. and it's going to impact a wide part of this country. >> well, that's our top story this morning. record snowfall totals up and down the east coast. we've got 8 inches at dulles international airport in washington, 11 inches here in central park and new york, and 15 inches along the jersey

shore. >> in all, about 4,400 flights have been canceled coast to coast because of this storm. and across the east, people are waking up to temperatures that have fallen more than 30 degrees overnight. as we said, sam, al and dylan have it all covered. dylan dreyer is up in hard hit sandwich, massachusetts up on cape cod. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. and here on the cape, we are seeing not only really heavy snow, but also wind gusts at 40 to 50 miles per hour. and this light fluffy snow just blows and drifts all over the place reducing visibility to at times zero. now, these whiteout conditions have already hit hard parts of the midwest and mid-atlantic. and we are going to see this continue around here throughout the next couple of hours making a mess of the air and also, especially on the roads. >> deep freeze, double-header. the second massive storm of the season buried much of the country overnight followed up by

subfreezing temperatures lasting through the weekend. like 2014's first blizzard, new england was hit hard, more than a foot of snow piling up in some parts of massachusetts. but places like philadelphia, long island and chicago didn't fare much better. >> we're stuck in it pretty good. >> outside of louisville, kentucky parts of the highway were shutdown after traffic conditions were considered too hazardous for travel. while the weather also got the better of drivers in indiana. west virginia -- >> i had no problems all the way down the road until i got here and it just wasn't nothing i could do. >> reporter: and new york city where a taxi took to a sidewalk to get around a snowed in truck blocking the street. conditions so severe in new york that one of the glass panels at apple's iconic cube store shattered with images posted on social media overnight. airports were also inundated

with thousands of flights canceled across the country. in washington, d.c. where 8 inches of snow fell, the federal government was shut down. visiting school children had to brave the conditions outside the capitol building. while a little closer to home, some kids were able to enjoy the weather. our viewers sharing some of their favorite pics on the "today" facebook page with the #todaysnow. the arctic cold today and the days to come is an offshoot of that dreaded polar vortex. which wreaked havoc a few weeks ago. and with two months of winter still to come, we probably haven't seen the last of conditions like these. >> reporter: and we are still looking at perhaps up to another 6 inches here on cape cod. but where the snow has already ended in some of the hardest hit areas, now the arctic blast is moving in. we are going to see temperatures in the teens and 20s with windchills at or below zero up until the weekend. matt and savannah. >> dylan dreyer, thanks very much. >> you've seen a lot of reporters out there with their rulers or yardsticks to get the

snow totals. we've got al roker with the official word. >> records falling back and forth up and down the eastern seaboard. d.c. with 3.8, baltimore, 5.3. philadelphia, 13 1/2, first time they've had three 6 plus inches of snow before february 1st. and here's the snow right now, dylan still in it. it's going to hang out. bring at least another 3 to 6 inches from south of boston all the way down to nantucket. and much colder weather coming in here. as we were talking about the polar vortex. this is not the main branch of it. it basically right now makes its way down south, we've got the jet stream down there. this is a piece of the polar vortex that's going to push these cold temperatures on in here. as it does, look at these windchills, 28 below it'll feel like in chicago, 6 above in

pittsburgh, new york it feels like 3, and then during the day tomorrow or this afternoon, 4 in new york city, cleveland, 9 below, feels like 43 below down in minneapolis, and it even gets down south. look at this, right now for today, atlanta, 32 a windchill of 18. that's where we find my good friend and my weather channel colleague sam champion. and those rosy cheeks and nose i don't think has anything to do with rouge. >> reporter: al, frozen, not rosy. you know this area, centennial olympic park, we here in atlanta cool off in the water that is now shut down in these colder temperatures. we've got the windchills down in the deep south. and let's go over that again. al just showed you, talking about that arctic express for lack of a better expression. look at the east coast and the west coast, everything you see green there is all warm and happy. but on the eastern seaboard, we're dropping these temperatures. al showed you that 39 degrees in

atlanta on wednesday, 64 in miami, barely getting into the 60s even in the deep south. they're a hard freeze. watches and warnings out for the gulf coast into florida, as well. those temperatures are cold. if you look later on in the week and you may think there's a warm-up coming, there isn't. reinforcing shots of cold air coming through here. and that means ahead of each shot, you might get a chance to warm up, maybe 73 in miami on sunday, but i really see, al, and i think you do, too, this opportunity for the cold air to get in here and stay in here for a while. >> sam, thank you so much. we'll check in with you in a little bit. let's go to duxbury, massachusetts. they're driving there live. and you can see what this is like on the east end of massachusetts. it is rough going, slow going, it's a tough slog. and because this is such a light, fluffy snow. we're talking about snow generally 1 to 10 inches usually for the ratio. this is 15 to 20 inches of snow for every 1 inch of precipitation. and we're going to have more clippers coming across.

that means more snow. and not to be ominous, guys, but coming up on super bowl sunday, talk about a nexus, groundhogs's day and the super bowl. >> on the same day. >> they're going to play the third quarter six or seven times. >> exactly. >> al, thanks. you showed us how hard traffic is. well, guess what, crippled airports across the region because of this storm. nbc's tom costello in washington this morning. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. freezing here, we're well below zero. this is recovery day at this airport and across the country as all of these planes, many of which were out of position yesterday because of the storm, they now try to move back in a position today. let's get you the latest on the cancellations. so far today, 1,400 flight cancellations, then we have 3,000 yesterday. so that combined 4,400 number. now they've got to recover or start to recover from that. we're not even talking about the delays yet. as you can imagine, those would snowball.

pardon the pun. inside the airports, virtual ghost town yesterday, flights canceled up and down the eastern seaboard. today, the challenge is to get all of those airports and passengers to where they need to be. we're talking boston-logan, connecticut and the new york city airports, washington reagan, washington national and washington dulles, all of those will be airports struggling to get back up to speed today and a big de-icing day as you might expect. amtrak picked up slack. their trains were not effected. but today, modified service on the northeast corridor. so folks trying to get by on amtrak may be seeing a little bit of a slower day today. and then on the roads, you saw all those terrible roads. interestingly, you know, the salt they put down on the roads that really only works until you get about to 15 degrees. below that, it doesn't work very well. as a result, they have to switch to kind of a chemical mix. that's going to be the challenge today. back to you. >> stay home and snuggly if you

can. thank you so much. meanwhile, another day and another threat to the winter olympic games. several delegations have reportedly received letters vowing terror attacks and to keep their teams at home. nbc's richard engel made his way to sochi. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. nbc news confirmed two delegations, hungary and germany received the threatening letters. they came in e-mail in english. saying that the athletes should stay away from the game. they are not considered credible. no one is in a panic. olympic officials are saying they were sent by a private individual. that does not mean they are not taken seriously. u.s. officials say the terror threat in sochi is the highest of any olympics. yet, russia isn't cooperating

much with the u.s. about it. vladimir putin, president and former kgb chief says russia can handle it. >> certainly vladimir putin's past history, the long cold war history between the united states and russia make any likelihood of request before the games or catastrophically after an event far less likely in this case. >> reporter: but the u.s. is taking some precautions on its own. a small number of fbi and state department security officials will be on hand. mostly to protect the american delegation. and two u.s. warships will be positioned in the black sea in case americans need to be evacuated. but experts doubt russia would ever ask them to intervene. >> there's too much bad blood, too much mistrust between the security services for them to link arms and say we're going to work on this together. >> reporter: but that may be changing. russia's top general asked

martin dempsey was asked for sophisticated sensors from the u.s. if they are sent, u.s. military personnel would have to go along with them. the terror threat in russia comes mainly from the caucuses, from suicide bombers, including women known as black widows. russia is on the hunt for at least five suspected bombers, two men and three black widows. yet, most u.s. team members like snowboarder kelly clark says they're not worried. >> i'm not worried about any safety issues in russia at this point. and, you know, we're so focused on our competition and on our sport. >> they did discuss security. very few specific details have been released with president obama and putin. the games are totally safe and putin promised they would be the safest games ever. now, however, we are seeing something of a recognition that

russia might need help. here inside the ring of steel, this is the secure area where the main stadiums are located. security is very tight. every person and bag that comes in here is inspected. matt. we have another school shooting. >> we're learning more details about the suspect in the deadly purdue university shooting. the 23-year-old is being held in the fatal shooting of fellow purdue student andrew boldt. police say cody cousins shot the 21-year-old inside the classroom in the electrical engineering building and gave himself up. purdue officials say the shooting was not a random attack. a warning today from the insurance institute for highway safety, the group is steering people away from mini cars until they're made safer to drive. now, after testing 11 models of mini cars, the chevy spark is the only one that passed getting the acceptable rating.

the other ten were rated marginal or poor in a small overlap test. that replicates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle. the poor performers in these tests were the honda fit and the fiat 500. suggesting drivers go with a bigger vehicle until the mini cars get safer. new video has emerged of embattled toronto mayor rob ford that shows him slurring his words and trying to talk in a jamaican accent. >> yeah, man. >> okay. so the video comes two months after mayor ford said he'd stopped drinking when reporters asked him about it tuesday night, he admitted he'd been drinking but said it was no one else's business. >> what i do in my personal life, that's up to me. this has nothing to do with you guys. it's my own time, my own friend. >> ford, as you recall, was

stripped of most of his powers last year after he admitted smoking crack cocaine. newly released surveillance video shows the dramatic moments when an suv crashed into a florida popeyes restaurant. take a look at this video. they're next to the window. she sees the suv coming, grabs the child's arm. the incident happened back in december. the woman and 8-year-old boy were injured. but certainly when you see that, it could have been worse. the driver of the suv was initially jailed for driving with a suspended license, but later charged with driving under the influence. all the vantage points there and to know that the woman had the presence of mind to see and process and move is incredible. you always wonder what would you do god forbid something like that happens. >> did the right thing. >> exactly right. >> exactly. mr. roker, the morning forecast. >> lake effect snow to talk about. the lakes have iced over for the

most part, cutting off the snow information and ingredients, but you can see right now, we're looking at lake effect snows between green bay and wisconsin, up to marquette, about 3 to 6 more inches of snow. pesky fog continues in the pacific northwest. it's been this way for more than a week. we will explain why coming up. we'll explain sunny but chilly in the northeast and mid-atlantic states. we'll get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds. 7:16, wednesday. i'm meteorologist christina

some states have a long tradition of seeing their top officials indicted, but not virginia. bob mcdonnell becomes the first man charged with committing crimes in the virginia governor's office. but he says he did nothing illegal. >> reporter: in response to the charges, bob mcdonnell describes himself this way. >> someone who has been falsely and wrongfully accused. and his public service has been wrongfully attacked. >> reporter: federal prosecutors say governor mcdonnell and his wife maureen asked for and received thousands in money and gifts from a virginia businessman johnny williams, eager for state help in promoting his company's line of dietary supplements. prosecutors say mrs. mcdonnell asked the businessman to take her dress shopping in new york where he spent almost $11,000 at oscar de la renta $5,600 at louis vuitton and $2,000 at high-end retailer bergdorf goodman. she wanted them, court documents say, for her anniversary and daughter's wedding. but prosecutors say two years

later after they started investigating, she sent some of the dresses back to the businessman suggesting they were only loaned and a charity might welcome the chance to auction clothes, quote, worn only once by the first lady of virginia. prosecutors also say she persuaded the businessman to give the mcdonnells a $50,000 loan and pay $15,000 for catering at their daughter's wedding. and the charges say mcdonnell persuaded williams to make a $50,000 loan to a business co-owned by the governor. standing with his wife and daughter, mcdonnell said all of it amounted to personal favors. >> i never promised, and mr. williams and his company never received any government benefit of any kind from me or from my administration. >> mcdonnell also said he repaid all of the loans with interest. he and his wife appear in court friday to face the charges. savannah? >> all right, pete williams in our washington newsroom, thank you. now the powerful storm hitting the east coast is all the talk on social media this

morning. let's go to the orange room and check in with carson. >> good morning, guys. it is, matt. these pictures we're getting and seeing in social media are telling how people are dealing in the northeast. i've got my own. my commute home normally takes 45 minutes, i took this shot, 3 hours and 45 minutes to get home. inching along the l.i.e. a lot of the pictures in today. the snow angel here from portland, maine. we have gandhi in the action. our executive producer sent us this one. keep your pictures coming, #todaysnow, and we'll have many more later. back to you guys. >> more on the snow in a little while from al, sam champion and dylan dreyer coming up. also ahead, the new documentary giving the public a rare and candid look inside the final days of mitt romney's presidential run. the man behind it speaks out in a live interview right here. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

whipper snapper who comes up here and knows nothing? >> reporter: mitt romney's older son tagg, says the film is real, unprecedented window into the family's hard-fought unsuccessful presidential campaign. peter alexander, "today," nbc news, washington. >> good morning to you. presidential campaigns are notoriously locked up. it's hard to get access. somehow you were able to get inside for two presidential campaign on the romney side. pow did you convince them to let you in? >> i'm not sure to this day. back in 2006 i read a blurb in the newspaper that the governor of massachusetts would be getting together with his family to discuss whether or not he should run for the president. something about that sounded like the beginning of a great movie. i reached out. a mutual friend introduced me to tagg romney. pitched him the idea. he said, great. took it to mitt.

mitt said no. ann said yes. he said, if you show up on christmas eve, don't think my dad would throw you out. i packed up my family, drove to park city, stayed with a friend. i knocked on his door christmas eve. mitt romney opened the door, rolled his eyes and i filmed that night and i kept filming for the next six years. >> the family warmly embraced you. you said the staff of the campaign didn't. they really didn't want you inside strategy sessions and that kind of thing. >> right. i didn't take it personally. i think the idea of a candidate being filmed by a documentarian that the campaign had no control over was nerve-racking and anxious. these are guys that are smart. they've been through the battles and wars of electionses past. they've seen elections fail -- or campaigns fail for reasons that are very small. so, they saw me as a large risk. >> much more personal side of mitt romney. the film doesn't get into things like the 47% remark, some of

these issues that were political issues in the campaign. was that by design or a function of the kind of access that you got? >> well, i felt like my strategy in making the film was just to show up, shut up and just film. i asked him about 47%. he just didn't give me an answer that he hadn't already given a hundred other time to reporters and that wasn't the strength of my footage. over six years of filming him, when i was done after the election, i didn't want to just rehash stuff that people had already rehashed. the strength of my footage was these very candid, personal family moments and we strung them together into a 90-minute art. >> what did mitt romney say to you after he saw the film? >> he didn't say anything. even if he d i don't know if i would believe him. he's very polite and gracious.

afterwards there was a screening and he said there were things he wouldn't have put in but he was touched by what he saw his family go through and touched by their support in the film. >> an extraordinary look. congratulations on the film. we want to mention mitt romney will be our guest here live friday on "today." thank you. >> thank you. coming up next, an investigation exposing hidden danger facing drivers. trailers becoming unhitched and turning into deadly missiles on the road. and then later on on "trending" ready for another spice girls reunion? you may be but victoria beckham is not. why she says it will never happen again. first, these messages.

careening out of control all over the road. just imagine this crashing through your car. >> christy, there's been a terrible car accident. >> christy cox lost nearly everything when this trailer broke free in another lane. it was missing a safety pin and chain. the trailer slammed into her husband's suv, tearing through the windshield and crushing the left side. this is all that was left. >> jeremy and izzy were killed and i just fell to the ground. >> jeremy, her husband and izzy, her 3-year-old daughter both killed instantly. only her son survived. >> how can they be gone?

they're my life. >> according to federal officials, unhitched trailers have killed more than 300 people in recent years. in many cases, the trailers aren't latched correctly and can pop off, which is why you need two safety chains as backups, in most states, it's the law. and here's why, kare out of minneapolis set up a demonstration. at 50 miles per hour, the trailer detaches. and flails side to side. but look, those safety chains hold, no one is hurt. now, watch what happens when they take the safety chains off. same trailer, same speed, it breaks loose and swerves out of control. there's no way to stop it. on a real highway, this could

have been deadly. >> they're a missile going down the roadway. >> it's such a big problem oklahoma state troopers patrol for this every day. when we tagged along -- >> there we go. >> they quickly found trailers that could be dangerous sharing the road with you. >> i noticed you didn't have your safety chains connected to your trailer. >> this driver admits he's been out all day without chains. >> this is an accident waiting to happen. >> that driver promised to fix it within a minute, police spot another trailer in violation and pull him over. >> you only have one chain connected to your trailer, you're required to have two. >> the driver told us the chain broke and he didn't have time to get it fixed. >> have you thought about how dangerous this could be? >> not until today. >> wake-up call. >> wake-up call. >> get that fixed. >> i will. >> a one-minute fix to a $10 part that could literally save

lives. >> two chains are pretty basic. that decision, which could've taken just moments and they would still be here today. >> i want to thank christy cox for being brave and sharing her story with us. police say these accidents are completely preventable, takes only 30 to 60 seconds to secure these trailers the right way. if you're not sure how to do it and about to get on the road today with the trailer, all you have to do is go to today.com, we have posted there right now step by step instructions how to hook these trailers up safely and save some lives here. >> jeff, thank you very much. coming up on "trending," the remarkable story behind this picture of a young plumber and muhammad ali. and carson's in the orange room with what you were talking about online. we'll check in with the man in shades after this. this is the quicksilver cash back card from capital one. it's not the "juggle a bunch of rotating categories" card.

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i've got three important reasons to up my game with eliquis.

had record snowfall in philadelphia, over a foot. in new york city, central park, over 11 inches of snow. we saw traffic jams all over the place. today we are going to start to see some improvements but not so much here. we're actually going to see ocean-effect snow kick in because of all this wind. we could iend up with another 6 inches of snow and then it's about the arctic cold with tens and 20s expected into the weekend and even colder windchills. >> dylan dreyer on cape cod, thanks very much. >> let's turn to al for the rest of the forecast. >> the snow we've been looking at, these are impressive numbers. record cold and snow in washington, d.c. philadelph philadelphia, 13.5. first time they've had three 6-inch plus snowfalls before february 1st. 15.5 inches of snow in weymouth. you can see it's clearing montauk. now we have the snow into eastern massachusetts. snowfall amounts generally about

potomac river. it's 10 below here with the windchill. it's a blue sky day which is good for flights. faa reporting really no airport problems this morning. what airlines are struggling to recover. as a result, the most affected airports today will be, no surprise, boston logan airport, the three airports in the new york area, philadelphia, baltimore, washington's national and dulles airport, and other airlines including -- airports, rather, including chicago, toronto, also being effected by the significant impact from all these airlines canceling flights. about 4,500 now because 1,500 flights canceled for today as well. i just walked through the airport here at reagan national. i would say about 20% of the outbound flights are now canceled just as they try to recover. so, the airlines may have a beautiful blue sky day but they've got to recover now, get their planes back into position. they're still dealing with snow and ice on some of these runways

girls' reunion in london in 2012 because it may never happen again? >> look at that. >> i'm not okay with that. turns out that victoria beckham, posh, well, what does she really, really, really, really want? is to never sing with her friends again. she's nixing the idea. her exact words, if you're wondering, "i won't ever do it again." victoria says sometimes you've got to know when it's time to leave the party. i agree with that in principle because you don't want to be the old girl at the club. however, come on. the spice girls. >> their music lives on. >> when they showed up in london, i won't even reenact what i was doing, but i fainted. it was amazing. >> you fainted? >> true story. in chicago 199 years ago i stood outside when they pulled up in their bus, the london-style bus and screamed with the fans. i was grown a woman. >> this is devastating news for you.

>> pretty much. i thought i was scary spice. >> you're going to be off tomorrow, aren't you? here's yet another reason why we love jennifer lawrence. the "american hustle" star on the red carpet with access hollywood at the s.a.g. awards when she spotted damian lewis. turns out, she's a big fan. >> stop looking. stop it. stop doing that. stop it. seriously, i'm not good. stop it. >> it's great. >> it's like a double interview. >> oh, my gosh. >> let's hug. >> this is amazing. my ears are so red, aren't they? >> but then, it all went to -- >> i can't believe you said that. i said the first and second season. i haven't watched the third season. i have to wait for it to come out on dvds because i'm not patient. i can't believe you did that.

lot of attention for the tenth anniversary for the campaign for real beauty, dove partnered with the sundance institute and challenged a group of teenage girls and their moms to see beauty in a different light. >> for young women today, the pressure to be perfect is everywhere. >> i think that a lot of girls compare themselves to what they see on tv and to what they see in magazines and to fit in, you have to fit this mold. >> while social media can be part of the problem, photographer michael crook set out to make it part of the solution. >> she asked this group of teenagers and their mothers to use their smartphone to take selfies and capture their own natural beauty. >> often times mothers pass on their insecurities to their children. >> i want my mom to know she's beautiful. and she doesn't have to change for anyone. >> she challenged them to embrace their insecurities. >> i hate my braces. i hate my glasses. i don't know, i want to say i

those off moments, moments before the picture is taken. and the selfie on the surface seems really simple. but when you think about how many selfies people take and delete or filter or somehow change before they put it out there, i really wanted to explore the honest selfie. >> and you've asked people to embrace their flaws in their selfies. was this an intimidating thing to take on? >> yeah. >> scary? >> yeah. >> what about you, harper? >> i mean, it was intimidating, but i think part of the magic of like documentary film, they didn't come in and they were like we're going to make you a star. just come and be yourself and let's start this conversation and i think it would just -- it had a huge impact on me on how i think about myself, how i think about the world. >> what i think is so interesting about this project is the mother/daughter aspect of it. and dove has a survey, 2014 survey found that 22% of

daughters learn about beauty from their mothers. and i thought, boy, all right, moms, if these daughters of yours are watching you and how you relate to yourself and your own beauty, what do you think they would have learned? >> what i don't like about myself. and intend to share that on a daily basis. >> and you're honest about that surprised you how much harper picked that up. >> i -- doing this was such an eye opener for me. i always thought that i didn't pass any of those insecurities on to harper. in fact, i didn't even know she knew about them until cynthia started asking her and she started rattling off all the things i only thought i knew about myself. and it made me think, you know, moms, you really are passing things on whether you know it or not. >> yeah. it's an interesting question. i'm sure you don't want to hear your mom be down on herself. but did it affect how you see yourself and the criticism you make of yourself?

wind. it reduces visibility, makes it very hard for drivers. and you're not really seeing that many drivers out here right now because everyone is just staying indoors, which is probably the safest place to be. now that north wind once it really starts to get going is actually going to produce ocean-effect snow just like lake-effect snow. and that's going to keep the snow going here on cape cod up through early this afternoon where we could end up with another six inches. it is going to be rough going out on southeastern massachusetts. but elsewhere, we are starting to see some improvements. but the cold is going to be the next story, that arctic blast is with us all the way through the weekend. al? they're getting the really bitter cold. we are getting this unseasonable warmth and it continues. 47 degrees in san francisco. you're at 32 in the north. it feels like winter to start the day but feeling like summer,

the game claiming the sport lacked broad appeal. one male official insisted jumping was inappropriate for women from a medical point of view. >> are you resentful it's taken this long to be olympic hopefuls. >> you know, at this point it's too much energy to be resentful. and i jump because i love the sport. i never jumped really for any other reason. >> talking about the failed court bad bttle to get into the 2010 olympic games. she and jones joined a group that sued to compete and the fight left a scar. >> all i remember from that was hating the fact that i was in court. we should have been home training and we weren't. >> the ioc finally realized that in 2011 jessica jerome won the trial and was going to compete. sarah hendrickson blew out her knee in august but is jumping

>> and -- >> does this open the door to other things, like going into a mall or movie theaters? >> listen, i'm one of those people, i don't mind being inconvenienced. for me, i want to be safe. if i'm taking my nieces and nephew to a game, i want to feel safe. nothing is foolproof, we know that. but when i stand in line and the security line which i never do because i cut. but when i do on the one time i ever have. >> what do you say? how does it work? >> i say bombo genesis. >> i think these are not tdroid you're looking for. >> our bag is always checked. you don't carry bags, so we're used to -- >> willie and i do. >> your man bags. but women, we're used to our privacy being violated in that way. when you walk into a game and it's a bag check, every woman, one guy has a little man purse,

but nothing else. >> a lot of people have asked what's stopping someone from walking into a game and an open area. thank god it hasn't happened. but thank god it hasn't happened at a game. i guess they're taking precaution. >> and there have been incidents not at the game but near games where there's been incidents of violence. there have been brawls that can escalate. and when you mix drinking and passions for sports -- >> there's drinking at sporting events? >> it's amazing. >> really? >> i think philadelphia, you know, you can't drink at an eagles game or after halftime or something like that. >> yeah. halftime or third quarter. that's when the flask comes out. did you see who is singing the super bowl national anthem? what a cool choice. this is an off-beat choice, right? usually have a beyonce something

like that, alicia keys, all these different people, now we're getting renee fleming will sing in the virginia area, four-time grammy winner, the first opera singer chosen. she did do the anthem at the 2003 world series in new york city. >> i like that for the national anthem. halftime you need a bruno mars, somebody to rock it out, i think it gives it grace and beauty. and i was at a concert i hosted a charity event she performed. it was like heaven. i mean, you feel like you're in the presence of a real angel, something celestial. >> and a graduate of the system. >> do they give you something every time you mention it? >> i'm proud of where i went to college. this is one of the greatest public university systems in the country. and they had such a -- the idea that somebody like renee fleming could graduate from it and somebody like me. >> come on. >> gives you the depth and breadth of the system. and i heard she's going to be

backed up by macklemore and ryan lewis. >> that would be awesome. i don't know about this next one. a group has proposed a ballot initiative in colorado that would require couples who want to get married, any couple to get married to take mandatory pre-marriage education classes. the colorado marriage education act would require engaged couples to complete ten hours of prewedding marriage education. >> you stop at the marijuana store. >> right. >> and then you go -- >> go right in. >> it's really smooth. >> and you work it all out. >> the second marriage, you have to get 20 hours, third marriage 30 hours. on and on and on. >> it's like you're a third-time offender. i just did an interview for this station. and the guy, the male asked me, you've got all these things going on, why aren't you married? which i should have smacked him. i digested it and said i don't want to fail. that makes me think if you go to this kind of class -- that's why

i'm not married, i don't want to fail at this thing, i want to get it right whenever i do it. i'll probably still fail. you never know. i might not fail in the sense of divorce but he would be greatly disappointed when i take all this make-up off -- >> no, uh-uh. hold on a second. hold on -- hold on. >> tamron, you are beautiful. >> let me reel in that compliment. >> no, no, seriously, i was asked that and the reason i -- and it's so true that i do worry about failing, seriously. not because -- it's true. i fail at a lot of things, that's something really i hold sacred and i think everyone does when they take the vows. when you take a class, i think that helps, maybe give you confidence. >> because it's worked so well with the motor vehicle. >> that's true. i am a terrible driver. >> i've been through this. christi christina's catholic so we did

when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza® has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza® is not insulin. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza®, including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), which may be fatal. stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back,

with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza®. it's covered by most health plans. lactaid® is 100% real milk? right. real milk. but it won't cause me discomfort. exactly, because it's milk without the lactose. and it tastes? it's real milk! come on, would i lie about this?

to go and you'll have a real honest conversation. >> and what if you're uncertain about your partner's feelings toward you. do you set time to talk about it? >> of course. my rule of thumb is, if you can't say it now and it's going to break up the relationship, if you deal with it, it wasn't the right relationship to begin with. you have to get it all out on the table and make a plan to address it. it could be in-laws, your sex life, your fitness level. it's something that is making you uncertain, get it on the table, make a plan and deal. >> yeah. >> and then careers. a lot of people when it's time to make that transition in your career, it's tough to step out of your comfort zone. >> it is. and for that, al, i would say know why you're doing it. if you're doing it because we all want to feel significant like we're making a contribution. if you feel your career's not giving you that, then by all means step out and try to find something new. if you're a little bored, i would say try to find a new focus within that line of work. look at a new challenge. a skillset within that to kind
