peninsula today. right, al, thank you so much. well, here it is. the memoir a lot of people are talking about, waiting to read, "hard choices" by hillary clinton. we happened to find this copy at a bookstore in los angeles just days ahead of the official release. nbc's kelly o'donnell has got more of what's in the book. kelly, good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. hillary clinton is giving us what may be seen as an opening argument for her next presidential campaign. if, if she decides to run again. in this book "hard choices," that doesn't come out until next tuesday, that's the big day. but we've been poring through it and we can tell you that in her memoir, she writes about her time as secretary of state. on a range of issues where she could make news again. while hillary clinton writes that she tried but could not win the release of p.o.w. bowe bergdahl, she did predict the controversy. opening the door to negotiations with the taliban would be hard to swallow for many americans.

but on iraq, clinton writes, "i got it wrong, plain and simple." backtracking on her 2002 vote to authorize military force in iraq, a position that cost her with liberal voters against barack obama in 2008. >> part of the argument that i'm making in this campaign is that it is important to be right on day one. >> reporter: clinton's reversal could help block a 2016 challenge from the left. >> it does neutralize it. it does allow her to start on a much cleaner slate. >> reporter: clinton gets more personal about her secret meeting with obama in 2008. >> they went to extraordinary lengths to throw reporters off the trail. >> reporter: "we stared at each other like two teenagers on an awkward first date, taking a few sips of chardonnay." they each had "long lists of grievances. it was time to clear the air." but when sarah palin was picked by john mccain, clinton refused to back up a dismissive statement from obama's campaign.

"i was not going to attack palin just for being a woman appealing for support from other women, so i said no." years later, clinton readily shared the victory, watching the bin laden raid unfold. "i looked at the president. he was calm. rarely have i been prouder to serve by his side as i was that day." and she talks more about that secret meeting, saying that she and barack obama had some really painful moments from the campaign in 2008 that in some ways have been taken out of context, she says. she wanted to go over that in the secret meeting and she refers in particular to painful exchanges about charges of racism against bill, as she writes it. and she says that barack obama said he and his team knew that was not a real thing with bill clinton during the campaign. that was one of the many issues they had to sort out before the relationship that became the one we all witnessed when she was secretary of state and he president. lots of interesting detail. lots to read in this book. it doesn't come out until next

tuesday. matt? >> all right, kelly, thank you very much. we'll be talking to hillary clinton. we'll have that conversation for you here on the show. let's bring in bill o'reilly. the author of the current "new york times" bestseller "killing jesus" and the soon-to-be released "killing patton." he's the host of "the o'reilly factor." >> is it really good to see me? >> it's always good to see you. "people" magazine has an article on hillary clinton. the headline is "i have a decision to make." let me give you a couple of dates. back in november 1999, george w. bush released a book, he went on to run for president a short time later. july 2006, barack obama releases "the audacity of hope," goes on to run for president. mrs. clinton's book comes out next week. you complete the thought for me. >> well, i'm not running for president after "killing patton" comes out. >> she's definitely running, isn't she? >> of course. she's stocking in the pantsuits. the big trucks are coming in. >> you need a lot of pantsuits to run for president. >> absolutely.

i need three or four a day myself. >> in the book, she talks about the release of bowe bergdahl, and what was happening when she was secretary of state. so let me ask you about it. if you are president bill o'reilly and you're in the oval office and your advisors walk in, given the circumstances we know right now, and there's probably a lot we don't know, but given the circumstances we know, do you make the deal for his release? >> i said on my program i would not make the deal, but it's not an easy call because you do have the life of an american serviceman in your hands, as commander in chief. but these are war criminals, you have to understand that. not prisoners of war. they're war criminals. we ran down last night the atrocities that the taliban has committed over the past ten years, and it's horrifying. >> do you think the administration either didn't see the reaction coming or misread the reaction. >> it's a mystery -- it's such a mystery that they wouldn't know. first of all, president obama knows what bergdahl did, because there's a classified report on the guy. he's already been investigated. they already know what he did, and it's not good, because if it were good, they would have

already leaked it. second of all, hillary clinton -- all right, the first thing she did yesterday was leak out that she didn't want the deal. so now everybody, almost, is turning against the president. i sympathize a little with barack obama, but i think he's got a blind spot for what the folks think. he doesn't understand how angry the folks get. they don't like deserters. bergdahl's a deserter. there's no question about it. he deserted. guys were killed looking for him. that makes it even worse. and the third thing is, these taliban monsters are going to kill people again. >> real quickly, i want to talk about apathy. you wrote something on your website recently. "half of the american public totally disengaged from political reality. they don't know anything they don't care to know. many live in a high-tech bubble lost in cyber space, caught up in their own selfish pursuits." i'm watching the events in normandy this morning. >> yeah. >> do you worry that we're fast approaching a generation in this

country that will soon not even understand what happened on that beach 70 years ago? >> they don't know now. that's why i wrote "killing patton." they have no idea what happened in world war ii. they don't know now. this is a fundamental change in america. these machines are taking over the world. these little blackberries, whatever you have in your hand, the iphones. people now can create their own little universe, their bubble, and they don't have to go out of it. they don't ever have to go out of it, and they don't. and public schools don't teach history. >> we know what happened with patton in world war ii. >> do you really know? >> i think you also focus in the book on conspiracy theories surrounding his death. he was in a car accident. >> no, you read "killing kennedy." i'm not a conspiratorialist. we presented the evidence surrounding his death. do you really know what happened in world war ii? do you know why patton wasn't in d-day? ah-ha!

eisenhower was furious with him. >> they sent him off on the sidelines. >> they wouldn't let him anywhere near d-day. why? >> because they thought patton was a glory hog. they thought he loved attention. >> no, he did something. and that's a micro thing. lauer -- i mean, we're getting into the micro now. but the big picture, public schools don't teach history and geography anymore. kids don't know anything. >> let me ask you this. would you agree patton, starring george c. scott, one of the top movies ever made? >> but "killing patton" will be better. >> one of the top five books ever written? >> it's going to be a good movie. we're working on a movie. general patton was a hero. >> bill o'reilly, good to see you. >> you know, i don't believe it. >> it is. savannah, over to you. >> you two are adorable. much more on this morning's events to mark the 70th anniversary of d-day. tom brokaw joins us from normandy. plus, the u.s. men's soccer coach under fire for what he is saying about team usa's chances

killing one person and two others be wounded. another student saw the gunman reloading and then managed to tackle him before anyone else was hurt. and the statewide inspection of all major bridges in delaware has now been ordered. the move comes after a bridge on i-495 was closed indefinitely because several columns are tilting. engineers are now trying to figure out why. >> that's not good. meantime, would you ever consider giving birth anywhere but a hospital? coming up, wait until you hear about a rather unusual new reality show. but we're going to begin this half-hour with the preparations under way for a historic weekend in the sport of kings. california chrome looking to win the belmont stakes and become horseracing's first triple crown winner in 36 years. "today's" dylan dreyer is at belmont park this morning. dylan, good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah.

i am here in belmont park for the 146th belmont stakes. it is called the test of the champion, and now just one and a half miles stands between california chrome and that elusive triple crown. several horses have come close, winning two of the three races. and now we are waiting to see if california chrome can do it as well. now, again there have been only 11 horses that have won the triple crown. could he be the 12th and the first in 36 years to take home the crown? a lot of people will be watching on saturday to find out. belmont park, where legends are made, but more often dreams are dashed. when california chrome steps into the starting gate saturday, he'll be the favorite, but history says the odds are against him. four times in the last 12 years, the winners of the kentucky derby and preakness stakes have lost their bids for the triple crown at the belmont. one of the reasons, the course itself.

at a mile and a half, the belmont is longer than both the preakness and the kentucky derby. >> california chrome reaching for the wire! >> that extra quarter mile can spell trouble for horses like california chrome, running that distance for the first time. >> it's about the jockey knowing when to ask the horse for what it has left and seeing how much the horse has left on a track like this. >> california chrome's jockey says he's ready to take the 3-year-old colt to the next level. >> whatever i tell him to do, he's ready to do it. >> while all eyes are on the favorite, contenders like wicked strong, commanding curve, and ride on curlin will be pushing to derail california chrome's date with destiny. >> he's ready to run. he's ready to rock 'n' roll. he's our rock star and he's ready to rock. >> now, if you're looking for some sort of sign if this is california chrome's year, how about this for a coincidence. in 1973, triple crown winner secretariat won the kentucky derby from the number five post position, the preakness from the number three post, and the

belmont stakes from the number two position. california chrome has drawn all three of those same post positions. so, we'll see how that plays out. >> gave me goosebumps, dylan. that's interesting. thank you. >> dylan's here. he's going to be talking about this. >> carson. >> i'm not near as beautiful. >> thank you, dylan. sorry about that. >> i don't want to be debbie downer here, but we would like to hear from you. which horse has the best chance to upset california chrome. go to our facebook page and vote. >> you're going to jinx it. >> we want to believe in chrome. >> this is like your second choice. you can catch the belmont stakes tomorrow starting at 2:30 eastern on nbc sports network and live race coverage begins at 4:30 right here on nbc. >> a lot of people going to be watching that tomorrow. let's head outside, al's got a check of the weather and the first clue in today's new york edition of the treasure hunt. >> it's our bonus day. we're going to get to that right

people. >> however, his work at the museum freed him from the trauma, because he realized it was killing for a greater cause. here you are a decorated member of the 82nd airborne who jumped in. they only look at you as a hero. >> i don't want to be a hero for anybody. >> what about these people who are in these graves behind us? were they heroes? >> they are the heroes. they're the ones that did it. gave the best that they could. >> and one final question for you, tom. if i get in trouble anywhere in the world, i pull that out. >> you got it. >> matt, i know i can count on tom. the question is, can i count on you? >> yes, you can. i wish i had a click we are me. i've watched you cover these stories so often over the years. i've read so much of what you've

a new reality show being launched by lifetime is bound to make a lot of people raise their eyebrows. it centers on natural childbirth, but this is taken to the extreme. they're talking about childbirth that takes place outdoors. here's nbc's national correspondent kate snow. >> reporter: this youtube video of a woman having her fourth child at a creek in a rain forest has more than 20 million hits. we won't show the gory details. but want to see more? lifetime hopes so. the network says an upcoming reality show "born in the wild" will showcase moms giving birth outdoors in decidedly nonclinical settings.

it's still very rare for american women to have a baby outside a hospital. only 1% of births. but the numbers are on the rise. celebrities like singer alanis morrisette brought attention to the trend. she spoke with us in september about her home birth. >> i think what is happening is a hearkening back to the naturalness of doing it at home. >> reporter: most births outside a hospital setting are at home and usually with a trained professional like a midwife. >> i've seen an increase in home birth for people that maybe don't have a great birth experience or are looking for a different experience. >> reporter: debbie will be helping melissa brant have her baby at a birth center that's attached to the hudson valley hospital center. >> you can never stick with a plan 100%, it always changes. so you trust your doctor and know they're making the right decision for you and the health of your baby, then you trust them and listen to them. >> lifetime's senior vice president says their show will

feature only women who have had a baby before, with an balance and at least an emt on site during production. >> home birth can be a choice for certain types of patients who are low risk, who have less chance of any -- they don't have any complications during the pregnancy, and i think that is an option for some people. >> for "today," kate snow, nbc news, new york. >> let's get more on this with dr. evelyn menia, good to see you. >> good to see you also. >> the reality show premise might be a little unusual, but home births are really rising dramatically. why do you think that is? >> i think it's people are kind of dissatisfied, at least in the past, with their birth experiences. but i will tell you, hospitals have now really, really changed their birth experiences. they're taking the home into the hospital setting in which you can sit on a ball, you can bond with your baby, you latch immediately afterwards. the medicine part of it has taken out with the option of safety, options for you, and

listen, i've done over 3,000 deliveries, and this is true, true, true. you never know, just because you've had three other uneventful deliveries doesn't mean that you cannot be prepared for this one. >> do you think it's safe to do an at-home birth, obviously with a midwife? >> midwives are wonderful, but they're still not surgeons. in a crucial emergency, you might not have enough time to get to the hospital. so, isn't it wonderful -- and for example, in our small community at riverview medical center, we have a wonderful staff that is very, very willing to do everything that you want to do, and then some. so like i said, you can experience all the things that you do at home with that safety. >> that's one of the appeals of the home birth. the other thing you hear is people feel like hospitals are quick to do an intervention or a c-section. is that a fair criticism? >> sort of. it depends on what we're talking about. we are trained to save lives. so just like midwives are

trained to save lives. what if you get stuck? who is going to take care of you then? if you're willing to accept those risks, that's fine. however, there are option for you and that relationship with your o.b. is number one. >> you feel like that's what's the most important thing, to have a good line of communication with your doctor. >> right. and speak out. say what you want. and trust me, it does look good on paper, but when you have a birth plan, well, i don't want any pain relief and everything else. when it comes down to it, at least you have that option. it's not going to be given to you unless you ask. autonomy. you can ask for what you want, as long as you're in a same environment. for the what ifs. >> just curious, will they bring a chocolate milkshake if that's what i want? >> yes, and for the doctor, too. i'll be ready for you. >> dr. minaya, thank you so much. good to see you. we'll head over to matt. a memorial service will be held tomorrow to honor the life and legacy of the late dr. mya

elusive triple crown. everyone is talking about california chrome. after his impressive wins at both the kentucky derby and the preakness, and he could be the first horse to win the triple crown since affirmed in 1978 and perhaps become the 12th winner ever of the triple crown. he has pulled the number 2 post position and will be ridden by his jockey victor espinoza who led him to victory in his previous two wins. these guys are reaping the benefits of those wins with their first endorsement, check out this blanket courtesy of sketchers. the belmont track is the longest and toughest of all three tracks and just to put it in perspective and let you know how hard this accomplishment is. 31 horses have won the kentucky derby and the preakness, 19 started in the belmont stakes and only 11 won the triple crown. the controversial nasal strips that california chrome has worn. they are similar to nasal strips that football players wear and

the new york racing authority have said it is okay to wear those. now the 1 1/2 mile fracture is worth $1.5 million. first place takes home $800,000. not a bad pay day for the breeders and owners who paid $10,500 for the horse f. he can bring home the win. fun to watch on saturday. >> nearly got watered there. luckily you escaped that. >> i was watching out of the corner of my eye. >> thanks. let's get a check of the weather from mr. roker. >> we have with us our day four bonus winner, jenny diaz. >> how are you. >> treasure hunt. how did you find this? >> how did i find this well, based on the first clue that you gave. >> you got on the subway. >> yes. on the subway. >> so your husband was on the phone with you? >> yes. he gave me the second clue. i'm a smart lady so i figured it out on the first clue. just confirming.

>> on the first clue? impressive. then you reached in and you found it. >> yes. i did. >> all right. >> oh, booty shot. >> apologize for that. i don't apologize for the fact you won. >> there i am. >> a little victory happy dance. very nice. all right. and you've got to go to a concert of your choice. here? that's what's going on -- thank you, jenny. 8:34. good morning. i'm meteorologist christina loren. you made it to the end of the week. the fog is clearing quickly in san francisco, and we have very little low cloud cover here in the south bay, as a result. temperatures are going to be pretty warm today in your inland valley spots. 86 for the south bay. 92, meanwhile, out in the extreme east bay. you'll hit the 70s today, even in san francisco. that is a warm day. warmer, by average, maybe 5 to 8 degrees. as we head throughout this weekend, temperatures are going to climb even more so.

we'll be 10 to 15 degrees above average for saturday. 20 degrees above for sunday. congratulations. >> thank you. >> good snooping. guys, back to you. >> coming up next taye diggs is going to talk about his new detective drama and this twitter spree he's on. >> sara bareilles live in concert on our plaza which is moments away. first this is "today" on nbc. "t.

we're back now at 8:37 with taye diggs, star of the new series "murder in the first." he plays a homicide detective ves gacing two seemingly unrelated murders, a man who display as protective side when it comes to his partner. take a look. >> i killed him. >> you didn't put the knife in his hand. >> he'd be snipping it off.

>> and probably coming home to beat out a woman and a child till he couldn't any more. you stopped that from happening. you get that? >> welcome back. good to see you. >> all right. good to see you, my man. >> i think people are going to love this. in a lot of crime dramas on tv, to me it seems too easy. crime committed in the first part of the show, a little bit of investigation, case closed, case solved. all done. that's not the way it happens in real life. that's something you tackle. >> 100%. that was one of the reasons i joined this project bass the fact it's a crime that gets solved within that duration. it gives audience members a chance to invest more as well as the actors so as the characters. >> it requires a lot of loyalty on the part of the audience. >> it does. we are trusting that short attention spans you know, will not dissway them. >> the story is one reason to do the show. i imagine two other words get

you to do a show. >> yeah. he's a monster. i've been lucky. i've been able to work with some really big names and he's one of them that i can add to my list. >> like a lot of other actors when you do a show like this you did try to kind of get into the mind. >> sure. >> of real detectives. what was the experience like for you? >> for me, it was -- i was pretty kind of taken aback because you know, we ate with some of these officers in san francisco, because the show takes place in san francisco. and to look at them you would think that they were regular people but to hear some of their stories it's amazing how these people can have lives and families and relationships. so that was something that both me and my partner took away with us. >> you are making a lot of news for this show. ur also making news for this other thing. let's talk about it. back in april you were following -- on twitter you were following what, like 44 people.

something like. that you are now following over 45,000 people. >> yes. >> why are you doing this? >> literally i'm embarrassed. everybody telling me i needed to have more of a presence on twitter, so i met with this dude that deals in social network and said instead of focusing on always disseminating information why not you focus on kind of you need to get a ticker. so i gave him people i was interested in from athletes to people in politics and just a bunch of people and then he started following people for me and now when i want i can just look at my phone and just hear what's going on with all of these people. >> so like on the couch there, you're following by the way, all of those people. did you even know that? >> of course. >> hi. thanks for following us. >> what's the last tweet you read of natalie's?

>> honored. >> we love it. >> i feel like we have a relationship. >> i shared airplane seats with daly. >> interesting? >> i looked at my twitter account based on you were going to be on. i tweeted 478 times in about three years. so no, i'm not all that interesting. savannah tweets every 30 seconds. >> she tweets in her sleep. >> how far are you going to go? >> i think it keeps it more interesting. >> can you make 50,000 in the next couple weeks? >> i'm not trying to do that. >> you did tell me before the interview roker, he just blocked you. >> aw. >> taye diggs. >> that is a lie. >> show is called "murder in the first." >> good to see you. >> premiers monday night on tnt. up next, grammy nominee sara bareilles.

the toyota concert series on "today," brought to you by toyota. >> seven years after sara bareilles released her breakthrough hit "love song," the hits just keep oncoming. her latest album "the blessed unrest" earned sara two more grammy nominations, including one for coveted album of the year. take a look. nominated for five grammy awards, over two million records sold, a judge on nbc's "the singoff," sara bareilles is a singer, songwriter, and pianist with many hits to her name. and she performed her latest single with carol king. now she's taking the stage in

our summer concert series. and sara joins us now. good morning. good to see you. >> it's so exciting to be here. i've never done this one before. >> by the way, off huge crowd. this is a really big crowd. >> it's amazing. very attractive. you're all very attractive. >> you better get used to big crowds. you're going out on tour on july 10th. is this your first headlining tour? >> well, no. we've definitely done that before. this is sort of the bookend headlining tour for this particular record. so this is still supporting my latest record, "the blessed unrest." >> do you like being on the road? is it hard to be on the road? >> i love being on the road. it is hard to be away from home. you miss your bed and the comforts of what is familiar, but i love it. it's getting to see the world through the lens of sharing music. it's a really beautiful experience. >> okay, i looked at your twitter account recently. you just got back from england. on your way to london, you tweeted three statements.

one, emma thompson is on my flight to london. it's like everything i have wanted is happening right now. then you tweeted, and david bowie is playing a live set. and three, the princes are here too and everyone is eating bangers and mash. this is unreal. which of those three statements were true. >> i kind of hope it's obvious which one is true. emma thompson was on my flight. >> but then you just launched into a dream sequence? >> like what else would i wish to have happen. >> in addition to your tour, you're also scoring a musical, which is incredible. based on the movie "waitress." >> that's right. yeah, i'm working on that. we're still in the workshop phase and getting all of the bugs worked out. i have a lot of work left to do on that. but it's really, really fun. >> in the meantime, everybody's waiting to hear from you, so take it away, sara bareilles. >> thank you.

[ cheers and applause ] >> sara bareilles. sara's going to be back with more music in a little while. but first, a look at these we begin with breaking news at 8:56. i'm laura garcia-cannon. it's going on right now in san jose. dea agents, sheriff's deputies, police, and fire crews have surrounded a home on north 20th and east julian streets. this is a live look at it right now. it's happening not far from the san jose high school. our photographer on the scene says there are several fire trucks there as well. we see crews that are suiting up in hazmat gear. there's also large fans of sort

sitting out on the street. we don't know exactly what the situation they're going into. we do have crews on the way there as well. these details just coming into our newsroom. we're, of course, continuing to follow this situation. we'll bring you the very latest information as it becomes available. check with nbcbayarea.com, and of course, i'll post some things on twitter as well.

from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and welcome to "today" on this friday morning, june 6th, 2014. the 70th anniversary of d-day, the invasion of normandy. al along with natalie, tamron. willie taking the day off. >> a beautiful ceremony today. >> it was so emotional. >> stunning. >> really was. >> let's get started with some of the stories that we're talking about as well, along with d-day as well. seattle, unfortunately, another tragic shooting there. a man in custody this morning after he allegedly opened fire on a crowd of students. this happened at the campus of seattle pacific university yesterday. one student was killed. two others are recovering.

they're in the hospital. one is in critical condition. the other is in stable condition. the really incredible part of the story everybody's talking about is a student there actually intervened and may have stopped this from becoming a much more tragic situation, more violence occurring there. the gunman has been identified by police. he is 26-year-old aaron ybarra, and police say he entered a hall, he was armed with a shotgun and a knife. the hall was packed with students studying for finals, and that's when he opened fire. but he was taken down by this 22-year-old student jon meis. such a hero. he saw the suspect reloading his shotgun. he had mace, because he's a student monitor as well, and he single handedly tackled the gunman as he was getting ready to reload and open fire once again. he was able to pepperspray him and subdue him. other people also jumped in and helped subdue him as well. he is not a student, police say, ybarra, the alleged gunman.

they do not know his motive at this time. >> that's the scary part. >> no association so far with the school. that's terrible. >> no idea why he did this. but what we do know is thank goodness that students rallied around, took action. they prevented this from becoming a much more critical situation. >> which is what we've seen more and more happening. in fact, some law enforcement officials say that this might be more of the way to go. it's not so much flight or hide in place, it is either flight or fight. >> it's amazing to have that presence of mind and the courage. this person is heavily armed, according to police. and to run and face what could have been your own death to save others. it's incredible that people are able to step up to that occasion. you always wonder if you could do it and if you'd have the courage. and he did. >> thank goodness somebody did. >> thank god for him. >> hard choices to make, which kind of leads us to hillary clinton. >> smooth. >> mr. segue. >> this book. we were just marveling. we went straight for the

pictures. what does that say about us? >> it's 600 pages long. a lot to read. >> hillary clinton, we happen -- and i love that word. happened to get a copy on hillary clinton's "hard choices" before its official release date. she writes about her time as secretary of state. and even touches on the sergeant bowe bergdahl -- it wasn't a controversy at the time she was writing about it, but she did discuss the release of this soldier and what was happening behind the scenes. in the book, she says opening the door to negotiations with the taliban would be hard to swallow for many americans. again, perspective here. this is before the actual deal was brokered last week. >> as secretary of state, she was handling certainly some of the negotiation behind the scenes over the last five years when he was in captivity. >> and she anticipated obviously the backlash, and she herself admits to being torn. what message does this send if you negotiate with the taliban. what i also found interesting is

that she reveals some personal details about that secret meeting she had with barack obama in 2008. she wrote in part, "we stared at each other like two teenagers on an awkward first date, taking a few sips of chardonnay." again, that story -- this was after that brutal primary. there were allegations of racism, some thought he had been dism dismissive of her during the debate he said hillary is likable enough. >> contentious. >> so they discussed some of the back and forth, which then resulted in him selecting her to be the secretary of state. >> during that date, they did play kenny g. that really helped. >> no, no, they played kenny g. bill clinton came in with the sox as kenny g. >> we fantasize a lot around here. >> just in our little world. >> bottles and bottles of chardonnay. >> the larger conversation is whether this is the lead-up to 2016. >> i'm sure she wrote that book

just for the heck of it. >> the part with the president, the part that was amazing, as you read it i think is when she talks about when they captured osama bin laden, being there in the briefing room and she said i've never felt prouder, serving with this president. so it's a pretty remarkable story in there. >> do i get to keep a copy? >> that is savannah's copy. >> it's not signed to savannah. >> i tell you what, you walk away with it. >> and a pregnant woman chase me down. i can't handle that. i'm too afraid. >> i'm going to tell you. i wouldn't want it to be me. >> nothing like an angry six-foot pregnant woman. i'm going to get your book back to you. i'll buy it tuesday. >> here's an interesting thought. you wonder about oscar winners. are they just like us? >> sure, they are. >> no, they're not. >> yes, they are. >> i know a guy named oscar. but that's another story. we've all experienced getting up to the cash register, we realize that we forgot our wallet. charlize theron found herself in

that very position on tuesday. a pinkberry employee revealing she came into a shop on sunset boulevard for some fro-yo. but then when she went to pay, she didn't have her money with her. promised she'd be back. and guess what, an hour later she came back, paid for the $3.75 yogurt with a $100 bill and told the cashier to keep the change. >> wow. >> all right. "tmz" reporting another crucial part of the story. >> crucial. >> i'm on the edge of my seat. what is it? >> charlize ordered chocolate hazelnut with chocolate shavings. harvey called and told us that himself. >> because he's a lawyer. he investigated it. >> i love the shirts he wears. >> how many times has that happened? at the post office, saturday, worst time to go to the post office. i'm talking about not having money. i'm sure he was wearing his tight t-shirt then, too. but i'm at the post office with my big package trying to return

it. and i get up there and realize i just have 20 bucks, and it was going to cost 30 to send this thing back. so a lady behind me says, would you like to borrow some money? and she was so nice. i didn't get her name or anything. >> did you take her money? >> no, i didn't take her money. no, i was embarrassed, s i was like i'll come back later. >> the great thing, people don't know, natalie does this all over new jersey. >> you never realize how close to being scammed she was. >> don't tell my secret. it's working for me, guys. come on. all over town. >> and she brings josh with her. my mommy's run out of money. can we have some more? >> $30 to send a package back. my gosh. >> all right, moving on. >> we've got great pieces of video for you guys to see. first want to show you this one. a baseball moment. take a look as kansas city royals outfielder nori aoki suffered an unexpected head

blow. yeah, that's going to hurt. yadier molina looking like he's feeling sorry for that. >> how did that happen? >> right there, smack in the head. >> that's like the 50 cent throw. >> he's fine, though. he stayed in the game. got right back up. and they ended up beating the cardinals 3-2. >> thank goodness he's all right. >> story ends well. he got back up. maybe a bruised ego. >> and a bruised head. >> luckily he had that batting helmet on. check out this video from canada. al and betty perry on a rural highway in alberta on saturday afternoon. they get struck by lightning. watch this. this is amazing. boom! >> wow. >> watch it again in slow motion. boom. the truck's air bags deployed. metal body rippled by heat. smoke fills the cabin. parts of the smoke completely melted. electrical systems destroyed. >> they've okay, though, right? >> they're okay.

police officer happening by, helps the couple escape. the thing that saves them, and that's what makes it the safe place to be in the car, is because of the rubber tires, you're grounded. but still, that's amazing. >> does that happen a lot? lightning striking, but a car like that? >> yeah, in people's cars, electrical systems get blown out. >> i'm a sci-fi junkie. that bolt there, end of the world. i'm a sci-fi free. i can't help it. >> tomorrow, a lot of people are racing freaks, and it's the 136th running, belmont stakes. dylan dreyer is at belmont right now. she has a fantastic frosting on top of her head. >> oh, my gosh. >> that hat is spectacular! >> is that a hat or is that a fascinator? >> it's a fascinator. >> it's got a head band and everything attached. >> it's adorable. >> this one's called the hatinator. >> oh, a hybrid.

>> it's like a hybrid, yes, exactly. >> i like the furry thing. >> thank you. my feathers that go along with it. it was all planned out. good thing they wear hats at the belmont, too, because otherwise it might be a little embarrassing right now. we are at the 146th running of the belmont stakes tomorrow. everyone is watching california chrome. a couple of the horses that could upset california chrome, ride on curlin, wicked strong, and also commanding curve. but with his impressive wins at the kentucky derby and the preakness, california chrome is the horse to beat, that's for sure. and the belmont stakes is nicknamed the test of the champion. it is the longest and the most grueling of the trio of races, and, you know, it is going to be interesting to see how california chrome performs tomorrow for this mile and a half course. he'll be ridden by jockey victor espinoza who led him to victories at the kentucky derby and the preakness. he is now draped in a blanket by

skechers. so they are certainly reaping the benefits of all of these victories. the song for the belmont stakes, rightfully so, is "new york, new york" made famous by mr. frank sinatra. frank sinatra jr. will be here tomorrow to sing "new york, new york." it is going to be an exciting day. everyone watching california chrome. it will be interesting to see how this all plays out, guys. >> dylan dreyer, thanks so much. you've been doing a great job there all morning long. >> don't forget, coverage of the belmont stakes starting tomorrow, 2:30 on the nbc sports network. race coverage starting 4:30 right here on nbc. >> and how's it going to look for the belmont stakes? >> and i'm off! making my way over to the map and show you what's going to be going on. we have got some weather to talk about over into europe. normandy, much better weather today than it was 70 years ago when the invasion was almost cancelled because of the weather. but people there are honoring the memory of all those brave

soldiers, have a fantastic day today. we've got a lot of wet weather and stormy weather making its way through the midsection of the country. again, we've got another risk of severe weather stretching from denver all the way into much of georgia. heavy rain, thunderstorms, damaging winds, tornados possible. we're looking at generally three-plus inches of rain from dodge city all the way over t 9:12. our neck of the woods, already warming up inland. but we're still getting a little bit of a marine influence at the immediate coast, and that's going to keep your temperatures down in the low 70s for today in san francisco, versus the low 90s. out in the extreme east bay, we'll hit the mid-80s here in san jose. about 86 degrees for us today. now, this weekend, we're going to crank up that heat even more, so peaking on sunday with triple digits on the way. the hot spots across the bay area, 70s and 80s at the coast, san francisco on sunday, temperatures close to 80 degrees. >> today's weather is brought to

one more sound from summer concert sound. >> let's show you what we have going on. looking ahead toward the weekend, we are expecting a decent day today here in the northeast and out west it's going to be spectacular. we do have a risk of strong storms stretching from the southwest into the central plains. beautiful weather in the northeast. look for sizzling conditions in the southwest. breezy, sunny, nice and mild. along the west coast. for tomorrow, sunday, sunday, i should say, we're looking at more wet weather down through the gulf on into the central plains. the heat is going to continue. a little cactus, hot cactus dance there. we love those cactus. sunshine making its way from the great lakes all the way into the northeast. that's what's going on around that was pretty impressive. good morning to you, al. love that suit, as well. 9:31 now, temperatures are climbing already. we're on our way to the 70s in san francisco, the 90s out in the extreme east bay, and the

mid-80s here in the south bay for today. your microclimate, making for some extreme differences, as this very hot air settles into the bay area. we're talking about 70s and 80s at the coast, around the bay, 90s, and triple digits in your inland valleys. cool off a touch getting into next week. >> well, that's your that's your latest weather. >> ten years ago a little girl in pennsylvania raised the nation to raise $1 million in the fight for childhood cancer. >> it started with a lemonade stand. it's raised tens of millions of dollars to help find a cure, one cup at a time. alexander skcott battled a cancr neurobl neuroblastoma most of her life. at 4 years old, alex set up a lemonade stand so she could give the proceeds to her children's hospital in philadelphia.

the stand was a success and soon kids across the united states were selling lemonade in alex's name to raise money for cancer research. >> it makes me feel good. >> in 2004 alex and her family appeared on "today" with a big goal. >> you want to raise $1 million for pediatric cancer research. how hard do you think that's going to be? >> i don't know, but i think if enough people with donations and and have lemonade stands, i think we can do it. >> they did. two months later alex found out her fund-raising was going to reach the $1 million milestone. she died shortly after at age 8. alex's lemonade stand foundation has continued on, raising more than $80 million and helping fund hundreds of research

projects since alex passed away. it's all thanks to the vision of the selfless little girl who dreamed that selling lemonade could one day help find a cure. >> all right. today marks the start of national lemonade days. this is an annual weekend where more than 2,000 lemonade stands and events will raise money for alex's foundation. >> that's right. liz scott is alex's mother, and co-executive director of the foundation. brigette smith, 10 years old, a cancer survivor, her with her mom. they'll be hosting their own lemonade stand this weekend. good morning. >> good morning. >> alex inspired so many people. ten years later, almost ten years later since she's been gone. are you still shocked at how much this has meant to people and how big the foundation has grown? >> i am. she amazed me in her life. i feel like her legacy has continued and the generosity of people every day. i feel so fortunate. >> i remember meeting her when she was here on the show ten years ago and how inspired i was

to think that $80 million later, this is what the foundation has grown to. talk about the research, though, and some of the things -- the advances in cancer research that you have seen in that time. >> it's been an exciting time the past decade because of the way they're studying cancers in kids and how targeted the therapies are. we know we've funded a lot of projects and it's important work. the most rewarding and amazing thing for me is to hear from parents whose children were effected. i heard from a mom a few weeks ago whose son passed through a three-year clean scan. the drug he's on alex was part of bringing to clinical trial. he had no other options. here is a kid now enjoying a life and has a baseball game this weekend. it's just amazing. >> gratifying. that's wonderful. brigette, you and your family started hosting lemonade stands after you were diagnosed. how are you feeling good? >> i feel good to now be in remission. >> that's great. you look amazing. why is it so important for you to also do the same thing that

alex did and to give back in this way? >> well, i don't want kids to go through what i went through because it was really hard, so i want to raise money. >> so, marg, brigette has gone through treatment for neuroblastoma. how important was this foundation? >> brigette's hospital benefitted from the lemonade stands so that's why we felt obligated to get involved. >> for all those hosting lemonade stands this weekend, brigette, what is your secret recipe? >> well, it's -- >> ice? >> yes, lots of ice. and just we have to make a lot of lemonade. >> lots of love, too, right? it's such a great foundation. liz, going back to knowing that your daughter started something so selfless and just wanting to help because she knew how much it helped her, talk about her legacy and for you to be involved in this foundation for ten years now. >> it's -- it's very

bittersweet, obviously. i wish alex was here. she would be graduating from high school next week. but her legacy is something that i think i can't even put my head around. the fact that she has inspired so many people to raise money for pediatric cancer research and also do something positive in their life is really something that's to be celebrated, which is what we're trying to do this weekend. >> we have a little something here. our stage hand, sal, has a a little check for. >> you oh, my. it's a big check. >> $1,000 in honor of alex. brigette, i love your yellow nail polish. >> for alex's lemonade stand. >> thank you so much. we really appreciate all you do to raise awareness and to help keep this going. for more information on alex lemonade stand foundation and national lemonade day, head to

"today in the bay's" bob redell was on the first one on the scene today. and bob, we're hearing two kids actually live in that house? >> there were two children who live in this house according to a san jose firefighter. good morning, sam. we're talking about this home right down the street on the right, a few doors down from where we're standing. it was early this morning that authorities served a warrant on this home. they discovered inside, that there was, in fact, a meth lab. according to this firefighter, they found 15 pounds of the drug, street value, $100,000. and they did point out there were two children who lived in the home, somewhere in the ages of 7 and 10 years old, was there their estimate. there's been at least one arrest made so far. this is an operation that's actually being run by the department of homeland security investigations, along with the dea, san jose police, and as i mentioned, san jose fire, their hazmat unit has been out here as well. one thing that the department of homeland security press person said to us is that the

neighborhood is safe, that there is no threat. right now, from what we've seen based on at least one person wearing a yellow bunny suit, as they're trying to clean this up, and given the fact there are dangerous chemicals inside, it's a good guess it could be quite some time before the authorities are able to clear the scene and do whatever they have to do inside that home to make that house safe again. reporting life here in san jose, bob redell, tod"today in the ba. >> no doubt unsettling for residents there as well. for a look at how traffic is being impacted, let's check in with mike i knnouyinouye. >> this is south san jose. avoid the area of 20th and julian streets. take 17th and 24th south santa clara streets. it will get you around it. this may affect the 64th bus line, but the freeways are clear. >> back in 25 minutes with more news and updates.
