>> we talk about throwback thursdays. this is throwback friday for us. >> no, we want to go forward. nothing back. >> we have known each other since i was 25. >> that's right. >> a long time. >> yes. i have stories. we're going forward. >> i didn't hear the younger man me line. right to the top story, oscar pistorius convicted of culpable homicide. but avoiding the more serious charge of murder. jeff rossen has covered this case from the beginning. he just spoke to reeva steenkamp's parents. jeff, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey matt, good morning to you on the west coast. more of our interview with the steenkamps, their first reaction since the verdict but first what happened with high drama in court this morning. the case stretching nearly two years, the trial six months long. all came down to this moment a short time ago.

in a nutshell pistorius has been cleared of murder but guilty of a lesser crime, being negligent. a short time ago the judge extended his bail and actually let him walk out the front door. >> mr. pistorius, please stand up. >> the final verdict. everyone holding their breath. the bottom line, did oscar pistorius intend to kill, did he murder his girlfriend, model reeva steenkamp? here's the judge. >> the accused is found not guilty and is discharged. instead he is found guilty of culpable homicide. >> reporter: it is a major victory for the defense and a massive blow to the prosecutor t judge virtually ripping the state's case apart. >> evidence led by the state in respect of this count was purely circumstantial. >> she believes oscar pistorius that he thought there was an

intruder and the judge went further today, saying pistorius didn't act like a murderer. >> the conduct of the accused shortly after the incident is inconsistent with the conduct of someone who had intention to commit murder. he called 911, he called security, although he could not speak as he was crying. he prayed to god to save her life. >> reporter: after the verdict the judge allowing pistorius to walk out of court, his bail extended, the blade runner not saying a word as he pushed through a crush of cameras. oscar's uncle reacting to the verdict, not guilty of murder. >> on behalf of his family we would really like to show our deep grateful we are for the judge, that has found oscar not

guilty of murder. that's a big burden off our shoulders. >> reporter: sentencing set on october 13th, a few minutes ago i'm just back from an exclusive interview with reeva's parents. the first reaction since the verdict. they say this is not justice for riva. i ask what had sentence they think would be for pistorius? >> i really don't care what happens to oscar. not going to change anything because my daughter is never coming back. he is still living and breathing, you know. and she's gone. forever. i just don't feel that this is the right sentence. you know. they believe his story and i don't believe that story. that's the difference. >> what was going through your mind? >> there were so many mistakes made. it didn't add up.

>> i think it was disbelief. >> on everyone. >> yes. >> following the case. >> all over the world. wanting to know what happened. she died a horrible death. horrible, painful, terrible death. and she suffered you know. and he shot through the door. and i can't believe that they believe that it was an accident. >> reporter: they told me they don't want revenge, they just want the truth. they feel like oscar pistorius is holding back, like they didn't get the truth in this trial which is all they wanted. they told me they want to meet with oscar pistorius in private to talk, matt, he reached out to them at some point. they weren't ready. they are ready now. >> all right, jeff rossen, thank you very much. lisa bloom is today's legal analyst. good morning to you. no premeditated murder, instead culpable homicide. are you surprised?

>> i'm a little bit. i think preimmediate tatd murder is tough and the judge had good reasoning 0 on rejecting the reasoning that he intentionally killed reeva steenkamp. the middle charge, murder, that's pretty controversial that she rejected that. there is a concept which i think we're going to hear about. the judge said he didn't intend to kill her but under south african law if you intend to kill one and kill another under that theory that's murder. >> even if that person is deemed a threat to your safety? >> but the judge didn't find that he felt that this alleged intruder intended to kill him and therefore shot in self defense. i listened closely, she didn't say that. >> i was going to ask you about grounds for appeal, the prosecution under south african law can appeal this. the defense can also appeal and say there shouldn't even have been a conviction on culpable homicide. >> in the u.s. the prosecution can't appeal. i think the defense is going to

argue on appeal that a lot of their witnesses didn't want to testify because this is televised. the first case in south africa that was. >> the judge is known asing tough when it comes to sentencing. but there's a lot of leeway here. anything from no time in jail as jeff explained, to 15 years. what do you think is going to happen? >> if we're going to make predictions look at the fact she let him out on bail. i would say in almost every case in this decision when she had to choose between a conflict between the prosecution and the defense she went with the defense. she clearly leans toward the defense in this case. i'm going to expect a low range in sentencing, if anything from zero to 15. i think on the low end. >> lisa, thank you very much. let's go over to maria. >> now to a manhunt in ohio after three inmates escaped from prison. one of them a 19-year-old serving a life sentence for killing three students in a school shooting. kevin tibbles has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, maria.

the entire state of ohio is waking up with a collective sigh of relief this morning after a young killer who opened fire on his own classmates was recaptured after a daring prison break. >> i can now confirm that we have heard from officials involved in the search that t.j. lane is now in custody. >> reporter: words of relief from the police in lima, ohio early this morning. as they announce that school shooter t.j. lane is in custody after escaping from prison thursday night. lane was one of three inmates who escaped from the allen correctional institution. police say the men who escapeden foot who were unarmed, but considered dangerous. >> the reason that he didn't get farther is because of the perimeter. >> this is an ongoing investigation. we'll give more information as it comes about. >> 911. >> we got shots fired. gun shots. multiple gun shots. >> we need help badly.

>> reporter: on february 27, 2012, lane opened fire in the chardon high school cafeteria, unloading at least ten shots from a .22 caliber handgun. three students died in the shooting. three others were injured. during the trial he was defiant wearing a t-shirt with the word killer across his chest, smirking at families and making obscene gestures. he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. in the town of chardon police moved quickly to protect the victims' families while school officials canceled all friday classes. >> want to thank the community, the outpouring of support. i know things will get better as they have before. >> reporter: even with lane behind bars it's worth repeating the schools in chardon will remain closed today. here in lima the official investigation as to how these three men got out of jail will get under way, the authorities

say that t.j. lane was picked up no more than 100 yards from the prison behind me here. back to you. >> kevin, thank you so much. interesting. >> the baltimore ravens were back in action last night even as the scandal surrounding their former star ray rice deepened. nbc's national correspondent peter alexander has the latest on that. nice to have you in new york. >> good morning. welcome to you as well. the ravens two games into the 2014 season. and think about this. if this latest video of rice punching his then fiancee was not released rice would be on the field next weekend. instead he has been kicked out of the nfl indefinitely and the league is under tough new scrutiny. the ravens returning to action, most eyes are on what's happening off the field. the role of commissioner roger goodell. espn reports that ray rice told goodell three months ago he punched his then fiancee in the face.

a claim that contradicts goodell's statement this week. >> when we met with ray rice and his representatives, it was ambiguous what actually happened. >> reporter: he said the latest video was inconsistent with what rice told him. a source with knowledge of the meeting tells espn rice made it clear he had hit her and he told goodell he was sorry and that it wouldn't happen again. the nfl just announced an independent investigation sphereheaded by former fbi director robert mueller and overseen by art rooney of the pittsburgh steelers, who stressed our sole motive here is to get the truth. the findings will be made public. >> bottom line is there are two owner who is have franchises worth over $3 billion, together, i think it's very important for them to make sure that whatever comes out is accurate, is transparent and rapid. >> reporter: outside the ravens' stadium a surprising number of female fans wearing rice jerseys including one who blames the victim.

>> she struck him first and any woman who can hit a man can be hit back. >> reporter: thursday night's broadcast had a different feel. cbs sports in light of the rice scandal changed its pregame show. dropping a comedic segment and its opening sequence street music by rihanna, herself a victim of domestic violence. the nfl is under for other cases, the panthers owner broke down publicly this week. >> my stance is not one of indifference. i stand firmly against domestic violence. plain and simple. >> reporter: critics are furious that greg hardy is allowed to play despite being convicted of threatening his ex-girlfriend in july. hardy is appealing the conviction. so about this investigation, roger goodell promised full cooperation by the nfl and employees, investigators and workers at the casino where the video was made don't have to cooperate.

as for goodell's status earlier this week before the independent investigation was launched the giants owner, one of the guys overseeing the investigation released a statement saying the idea that goodell's job is in jeopardy is, quote, misguided. a long way to go on this. >> though questions remain about whether he can survive this situation. actually we've got carson in the orange rooms we're going to ask a blunt question. >> we are. there's the survey. a lot of angles to this. we'll be specific. should roger goodell step down? yes or no. log on now. we'll have results asap. >> thank you very much. >> we were all talking about that sound bite. >> she deserves to be hit. wow. horrific. >> complicated subject. >> by the way, coming up we'll talk to robin givens speaking out about her own experience with domestic violence and the wake of this scandal. meantime, natalie has the latest on the president's vow to take

down isis. >> good morning. secretary of state john kerry arrived in turkey overnight hoping to enlist its support in the escalating fight against isis. his mission comes as the cia reports that isis may have as many as 30 thou,000 fighters ina and iraq, times more than previous estimates. thursday kerry said ten arab nations agreed to do more to stop the militant group. we should mention chuck todd will take a closer look at the strategy to destroy isis this sunday on "meet the press." new details on the u.s. government's controversial surveillance program, yahoo! says the government threatened to fine the company $250,000 a day back in 2008 if it did not comply with demands to go along with the u.s. surveillance laws. the outline says yahoo!'s unsuccessful court fight were released when a judge ordered the unsealing of some court documents. the company said it will continue to fight requests that

it considers unlawful. >> and american doctor infected with ebola has been given blood from fellow doctor who has now recovered from the disease. physicians treating dr. rick sacra say he has responded well to aggressive treatment including two blood transfusions from dr. kent brantly. his blood carries antibodies. >> now to a story picking up a lot of steam on the internet about a wild house party and heated brawl reportedly involving the palin family. according to "the washington post" bloggers revealing details of the incident last saturday in anchorage and police confirm there was in fact a brawl then. allegedly it all started when track palin spotted one of willow's ex-boyfriends. no indication that any of the palins will face charges.

lady surprised some kids in washington on thursday by showing up for a charity event. it wasn't the guest appearance, however, that one little girl was hoping for. take a look. >> i really wanted it to be beyonce. >> i understand. malia and sasha would feel same way. >> but then i realized it going to be here. that's even better. >> i appreciate you saying that in front of the press. i know it's not really true but that's okay. >> i'd rather see beyonce. >> i think she makes up for it. kids say the darnedest things. they were helping fill back packs for the needy. >> she's honest but comes out in the end and makes up for it. >> beyonce, president. >> they told me you were beyonce this morning. >> mr. roker's got a check of the weather.

they told her i was jay-z. >> you know, the mind boggles. i digress. we've got amazing video to get your mind off of that. look at this. this is in horn lake in mississippi. just south of memphis. this car is sinking, there is a guy in it trying to get out. first responder is rushing out there as the car is sinking, he gets out, they reach him and pull him to safety. that is just amazing. another reason why we tell you when it comes to deep water, turn around, don't drown. we look out west look at this. sunday to monday if you are along the southern california coast it's going to be rough. we've got heat advisories, excessive heat watches and heat warnings that will go into effect. why? look at these temperatures. in san diego, it's going to be 95 on saturday. 13 degrees above normal. high pressure is going to building in with 104 temecula, palm springs 107. sunday, los angeles, 97 degrees for a high. that's 15 degrees above average.

why do you think that is? >> because we can see it. we've got this video, and i know that it's very difficult. it's appalling. it's heart-wrenching. it's shocking. but we get to see in many respects what's gone on behind closed doors. we can't pretend that it's not happening. and i think so much of what i've talked about in my life or what i've heard women talk about the past 20 years when i've talked to them, it's -- one of the things, it's hard to be believed. >> right. >> being believed is an issue. >> you told me last night that this is still a very emotional issue for you. >> it is. >> coming here to talk about it, you have to relive it. >> yes. it's amazing, because the past kind of becomes very much a part of your present. i feel attached to her in many respects. and it's -- i'm speaking for myself. i don't want to speak for her. but i understand her. but -- >> are you talking about janay? >> yes, but i would like to think i've been a voice for a lot of women. i would like to think there is a

purpose. even talking to you, part of me didn't want to get involved in this conversation, quite honestly. and it took my 20-year-old son -- >> you told me your son encouraged you, you've got to get out there. what do you tell your boys? you're raising young men about violence, about women, about why women stay, about why they leave. >> i think -- i really wanted to give the world two healthy and happy and whole husband and fathers. and i think there is something to being a gentleman. and my man is gentle. my older son is very involved in the conversation. he's very involved in social media. and i think in many respects, because of social media, this conversation will never be the same. you can't hide it so much anymore. i think of my experiences. if it had been on tape, those elevators, being dragged in the hallway. if that had been on tape, then it's a different conversation all of a sudden. >> we should say, we did approach mike tyson to see if he wanted to comment and he did notment do you think it would have been different for you, had the video been there and had we

seen what you were trying to say? >> absolutely. because i think it's hard for people to wrap their minds around this. i think it's hard to be the woman and wrap your mind around this happening. i think it's hard to be a person listening to somebody. you don't want this to be true. >> are you surprised when you hear a woman like we saw on the news earlier this morning saying, hey, she hit him first, she deserves it. >> it's -- i'm not surprised, because i've heard it. i've heard, what have you done, what did you say to him, stop saying that. why is it that the victimizer becomes the victim? why is it that we want to protect these men? what is it about our society, what is it about us as women that feels the need to protect them? >> well, you wrote yourself about saying after it happened, you went from don't talk to me again to wanting to protect him. >> i think that -- we talked about it being complicated. that's -- first of all, the embarrassment one feels. you feel embarrassed with yourself, first and foremost. it's very difficult to share. and a strange thing happens. you want to then start protecting the person and

consoling the person that really you're in fear. it's a very -- it's a strange inner turmoil. i have to say this. we can't allow this to happen. this cannot be acceptable on -- in any way. this is more than a male/female issue. this is a human rights issue. somebody said he would have gotten a pass even if we hadn't seen the second part of the video. >> do you understand why janay stayed? >> i do. i do. look, for me, i got -- it was hard for me to say this happened to me. and in many respects, i was more -- it was terrible that i said it. you're not supposed to tell. >> yeah. >> so i think that she's got a lot of things that she is dealing with. you want to protect your man. you want to stand by him. >> real quick, i have two daughters and i told my daughter last night i was going to interview you. and she said, what are the signs, what did you miss, what did you avoid, what can young women learn? >> the thing that i avoided -- i thought certain things -- i

thought it was love. i thought being picked up and put in the car, you're coming with me tonight, i thought that was love. having somebody in my hotel room and jumping out of the closet and going, whoa, you must really -- you feel the warning signs deep inside in your gut. and you've got to follow that. but maria, i have to say wholeheartedly, in 2014, this conversation has become a different conversation, because of that video. however difficult it is for this poor woman, she will help myself and other women. just be believed this is indeed possible. this does happen to women. >> do you think this will just be like so many stories we're talking about this week but next week it will be forgotten? >> this is what i've always felt. when men get involved in this conversation, not just women -- when men are involved and when men say, "this cannot happen. it's not cool, we're not accepting it." and i think that because it happened in this way with football -- this manly thing, standing up and saying, "no way, this ain't right, it stops here."

it is a game-changer. >> and you're going to continue talking about this, trying to explain it. >> i am. >> trying to help other women. >> i am. because it helps me. it helps me be understood. it helps me understand myself. and it gives purpose to a very difficult situation. >> robin givens, thank you for having the courage to come and talk today about all of the work you have done in this area. >> thank you. >> matt. >> thank you very much. coming up, something new to worry about. if you're not getting enough sleep, could that trigger some false memories. and up next, are they serious? halloween is just a month away. why are some stores already decking t ♪ ♪

"usa today's" cover of the sports section, check this out. female fans stand by ray rice. a lot of women last night wearing the ray rice jersey. the ravens-steelers game in baltimore. a lot of people shocked that a lot of women were wearing those jerseys. at the game, two women defending

ray rice. listen. >> she struck him first. and any woman who can hit a man can be hit back. >> i love ray rice. he's done a lot for baltimore. even though i don't condone what he did. okay? i'm not saying that what he did was right. >> but -- >> yeah. >> i don't know what to say. >> i think it says it all right there. >> yeah. and i think actually maria shriver had a wonderful interview with robin givens earlier this morning. and robin had written an op-ed in "time" magazine about domestic violence and why i stayed. it's really interesting to hear her perspective when she talked about why she stayed with mike tyson for so long back in 1988. take a listen. >> are you surprised when you hear a woman like we saw on the news earlier this morning saying, hey, she hit him first, she deserves it? >> it's -- i'm not surprised, because i've heard it. i've heard what have you done, what did you see to him. stop saying that. why is it that the victimizer

becomes the victim? why is it that we want to protect these men? what is it about our society, what is it about us as women that feels the need to protect them? >> fascinating point. >> it's true. and she made the point, again, that she views this as, you know, having the video out there. this is a watershed moment, because it is in some ways helping women see. you know, this is generally what happens behind closed doors. and if women are victims of domestic abuse, they now are seeing this and acknowledging, this is real. this is very much a problem. and she says this is a game-changer when it comes to talk about domestic violence. and coming to realize, like, i shouldn't be living like this. >> but you worry when you see reaction like that. >> yeah. >> at the stadium. that people who are -- women who are victims of domestic violence, they -- are they afraid, because are people going to take them seriously. >> right. >> the only reason all of this

happened was because of two pieces of video that came to light. if those pieces of video had never come to light -- >> would have been behind closed doors. >> to robin's point about protecting the aggressor, that's exactly what happened in this case. the baltimore ravens, the nfl, everybody said let's figure out how to handle this as a pr crisis. not as a crime. but as a pr crisis. remember, they put out that awful tweet where janay palmer regrets her role in the incident, blaming her for this. >> and the press conference where she said that, pretty much. she regretted she played a part in that. >> yeah. >> it was hard to watch. >> we were talking about this earlier this morning. we have been talking about this every day now for a week. i hope something good comes out of it so that all of our daughters and sons now know as a society this is how we feel about it. that we don't tolerate it, it's not okay, not acceptable. >> and i do too. but i always worry, whenever there is a crisis we talk about it for about a week. >> right. >> and then something else happens. and we move on. >> we move on. >> we forget about it.

i hope this is not the case. >> yeah. and adding to that, i thi think maria asked that question to robin. she said do you think this is finally going to make a difference or is it going to be a story we just talked about and move on and forget about it? and she said because men this time, especially men in the nfl, are expressing their outrage and they're so shocked and horrified and because we're all talking about it, man and woman alike are saying the same thing. perhaps this time it will make a difference. and, you know, we'll see. >> i hope so. i really do. it was a wild night in baseball last night. >> wow. >> speaking of sports. >> crazy. >> three batters in the big leagues last night getting hit by pitches. first let's start with the worst. this is marlins' superstar, could be the mvp of the national league, giancarlo stanton, takes a fastball in the face. >> hard to watch that. >> in the face! oh, my gosh. he was taken off the field on a stretcher. taken to the hospital. suffered multiple facial fractures, a laceration, has dental damage. obviously needed a bunch of stitches. brewers' pitcher mike fires, his

next pitch actually hit reed johnson on the hand. next batter, same pitcher, is hit. >> my gosh. >> ended with both teams clearing the bemplgs, the marlins saying what the heck, man. fires apologized on twitter saying i'm deeply sorry about what happened tonight. i can't imagine what you and your family are going through, talking to stanton here. my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. i feel horrible. and hope for a speedy recovery. that is absolutely horrifying. every baseball player's worst nightmare, when you stand in that box and face a big guy who can throw 95 miles per hour. >> yeah, they said that pitch was probably about 88 miles per hour. by the way, happened here to the yankees, as well. chase headley was hit by a pitch the bottom of the ninth inning. he was able to walk off the field on his own. but seems like this is happening more and more. >> same thing, though. this was in the face. took this one in the chin. >> yeah. >> hard to believe he was able to walk off. >> big old cut on his chin there. terrifying. you hate to see it happen to anybody, but stanton is truly

one of the two or three biggest stars in baseball. hope he has a big recovery. >> absolutely. so i cannot believe this, but i saw this past weekend an ad for christmas. >> no. >> yes. >> kmart ad, right? yeah. >> if you missed it, check it out. >> hello, america. it's too early for christmas. so just to be clear, this is not a christmas commercial. however, let's say you have an event in late december that you need a lot of gifts for. like maybe your entire family is having a birthday on the same day. kmart, no money down layaway. merry birthday, everyone. >> very clever. but according to national retail association, about 20% of americans have already started their christmas shopping. by halloween, they expect that to double. >> don't be so horrified. you're in the 20%. >> i have bought some presents. >> have you? >> i have. >> i think it's good. it shows thought. shows you're thinking about people all year-round. >> i hate getting caught at the last minute.

drives me nuts. >> you have to admit, if something catches my eye and reminds me of somebody, i do buy it. and i've done that for savannah's baby. a couple things that i've already started. a couple. but normally i'm way behind. >> do you think -- you know, the decorations and all that stuff and -- >> i have a problem when i was at the drugstore the other day and luke was asking for the candy corn. and it's only the beginning of september. for halloween. and i'm like, the candy corn is going to be stale by the time halloween comes. i'm not buying the candy corn this early. >> doesn't matter. >> it's like a twinkie, never goes bad? >> give me pebbles and just call it a day. there's no reason for candy corn. >> candy corn is terrible. i don't like candy corn. >> candy corn is to me only second to all of the pumpkin-flavored stuff out there. >> have you had the pumpkin latte yet at starbucks? >> no! and by the way, there is no

pumpkin in the pumpkin spice latte. >> it's the cinnamon and the yumminess. >> who determined we all want pumpkin! >> i love pumpkin. >> al is really worked up. when we did the story about the pumpkin spice latte, we sent this e-mail, do you know what's in a pumpkin spice latte? >> next time we need -- >> do you know they're coming out with pumpkin spice oreos. >> no! >> yes, oreo people, you've gone too far. >> but that's only -- isn't that just for now, for -- >> just for now. >> like a limited release, right? >> it starts with just for now. and then it keeps going. >> it's like the mcrib. >> no, now wait. >> that i support. >> by popular demand. >> that's heresy. everybody loves the mcrib. >> that would be like -- that would be like expecting beyonce and getting the president. >> well, that's exactly what happened. >> that happened? >> that happened, in fact. now, this happened, speaking of

pro segue here. president obama and the first lady were visiting a school in washington to help fill backpacks for needy kids. a little girl, they said there would be a surprise guest in the class. so she is like, yay, surprise, thinking beyonce is coming. take a listen. >> i really wanted it to be beyonce. >> i understand. malia and sasha would feel the same way. >> you thought we were going to be beyonce? >> but then i realized it was going to be you. and that's even better. >> oh, see there? well, i appreciate you saying that in front of the press. i know it's not really true. but that's okay. >> i would rather see beyonce. >> she's got a future in politics. >> good pickup. man. >> honest on the one hand, but on the other, realized she's got to make up for that. >> nicely done. >> they were packing backpacks for the needy. you know what would have made that backpack better? a mik mcrib.

>> i would take a pumpkin spice latte. just saying. let's see what's going on as far as your weather is concerned. showers and thunderstorms going on in the midwest. in fact, from des moines, iowa, on into omaha, we've had some heavy rain, some flooding going on. also down to the south, south of this stationary front, heavy thunderstorms north of san angelo, dallas on into texarkana and shreveport. we're going to be watching a lot of rain, especially between corpus christi and brownsville. 3 inches of rain. in the east coast, tropical storm edward, not going to be any problem. going to basically be a fish storm. but watch what happens. it makes -- we've got this little area of weather making its way across southern florida. not quite going to be a tropical system, but it's going to bring a heck of a lot of rain over the next 72 hours from central florida into the keys, anywhere from 3 to 5 inches of rain. then it goes out into the gulf and may become a tropical system. we're going to keep an eye on that. that's what's g

more. or else you do go to divorce court. you laugh about it. >> or therapy. and there's a difference between accepting them and not caring. apathy is like you do what you want, i'm not interested, i'm not going to fight this. >> when you stop caring, and doing for them. and effort. then they also say when you're out alone, all you talk about are the kids. >> a lot of people do that. >> when frank and i are alone together, that's all we talk about too. >> really? >> pretty much. >> i don't know why you said no you don't. i have no idea. >> alone. >> i just jumped on it. i felt like being difficult. >> remember yesterday about listening? >> yep. >> you know what a great statement for the listening thing is? >> what? >> here it is, if we could all do this, be here now. >> yes. >> wherever you are, don't think about your phone, i'm only with you, i'm not thinking about oh my weekend's starting soon.

[ man ] i think this is a good time to tell you: you're doing okay, mom. i can call you "mom," right? i know we haven't known each other very long, but you seem like a real keeper. you're not perfect. but you're trying.

anyway, i want you to know how much i appreciate you. you know, right? how much i love you. you're doing okay, mom. mom usually throws . a gogurt in there. well mom's not here today so we're doing things dad's way. which means i get... two. (singing) snack time and lunch. (singing) snack time and lunch. gogurt because lunch needs some fun. it's part of a hershey's bar. we break it. we bite it. we sneak it. we smoosh it. we savor it. we love it. hershey's is mine, yours, our chocolate. and for many, it's a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine, loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®.

it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients.

symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®. the older we get, the more we start or it worry about whether we have enough saved up for retirement. but the realtime to start thinking about that is when you're young. how much should you put away and

what should you you have in your nest feg you're a boomer? >> here with all the answers is suze orman. it's very popular as you are, okay. >> did you just hear the opening of the show you said that the time to start saving is when you are young, hoda. >> it was in the copy. >> okay. >> still young compared to frank. i mean, it's never too late to start. >> yeah, everything has changed. the way, i mean my mom worked for years, she's able to retirement and they have a great retirement program, but a lot of people don't have that. >> here's the difference, years ago when you retired, you did, you got a pension, paid your health insurance, things weren't as expensive as they are now. today you have to fund your retirement, you have to pay your health insurance, today the cost of school, education, everything is so out of sight that if you do not start saving for retirement when you are young -- >>ish. >>ish. >> and vibrant and have a great job. >> you're going to really have

to work. the other thing is we're all living longer, you guys. do you know that the average length of life was 65 when they first brought out social security? they never expected people to live long enough to collect social security. >> if you can wait until you're 70 to retire, and then start collecting, most people are going to have to work, this is not me with anything, i'm just delivering what i think is true, i think most people are going to have to work until at least 70 and shouldn't probably take social security until 70. >> full-time? >> wow. >> this could help people. myself included. okay. when you're starting out in your 20s, how much should you stock away per month if you want to save for retirement and in your 20s, you're not thinking about retirement, you're thinking about buying a car. >> the key is the sooner you begin, the more the money has to compound which means it earns more the more you will have. you start in the 20s and stay until you're 65 and do $500 a month. you would have about $1.8 million. >> is that enough?

>> it could very easily generate $90 thours tax-free especially in a roth or something like that. could you live on 90,000, only if your expenses are not high. >> right. >> it's always about those expenses. >> is the 401k good enough. a lot of people invest, they max it out. >> most don't know semi-truck a 401k and ira. me personally, i would only have a roth if your company offers it. i would only invest up to the point of the match, they give you a dollar, you put in a dollar, they give you 50 cents, after 6% they don't match. then do a roth ira if you qualify because you do not want to pay taxes later on when you withdraw it. >> you've paid taxes to get the money to put to invest. >> now let it grow tax-free. >> if you're 30 and you start saving $500, those of our viewers. >> remember you started innier 20s and now 1.8 million. let's say you start at 30.

and you do 35 years, you're only going to have like $900,000. that's 50% less. only 10 years, 50% less. >> how are you going to train kids who want to have the new cards clothes. >> that trip. >> it's not the new kids today. the kids are understanding. they are seeing their parents suffer. you know that the main people that are calling into the suze orman are saying i'm worried about my parents, they're in their 50u6 now. what am i, chopped liver? and they are all worried that their parents spending credit card debt that they won't stop and so the kids are learning not to be like their parents. >> it's too late in your how or 50s? >> it's not too late. >> when you are in your 80s. >> so what should you be doing in your 40s and 50s. >> your main goal rather than saving, obviously always up to the point of the match, if you have a mortgage, and you're going to stay in that house.

make sure it is paid off by the time you retire. >> yeah. >> okay. >> good advice. >> who knows what milk's going to cost. >> who knows. >> if anything, it's unbelievable. suze, you're so smart. >> you're smarter than us. >> i'm not. >> new season of the show premiers october 4th. >> that's what i call a hit show. >> don't spend any of the retirement money on decor. how to reinvent. we mark it fine. >> and bobby thomas gets us mad for plaid. the looks for fall after this. ar car insurance companies? yes. but you're progressive and they're them. -yes. -but they're here. -yes. -are you... -there? -yes. -no. -are you them? i'm me. but the lowest rate is from them. -yes. -so them's best rate is... here. so where are them? -aren't them here? -i already asked you that. -when? -feels like a while ago. want to take it from the top? rates for us and them. now that's progressive. call or click today.

was honest. least he said it, and i think so many women are used to dealing with men that are not honest. if he's still hung up on it, you at least need to know. how are you going to know, ask him why they broke up. what was it? it was about the person, the good question is was it to do with the woman you're with or the stage of your life? well it's a bit of both, which one it was more of. so busy with work. then you know those excuses are the common denominator. you have to talk to him about that and get to know him. >> but it might be a way of keeping the relationship from going deeper. >> it's just convenient for him to say, i'm really not over it. he may be over her. >> that's what men do. the wounded card. i'm so heart. >> i want to have a sexual relationship with you, but i don't want you to take it seriously. >> ice god because you can have it both ways. >> we're on to you now. >> okay, now we have a skype question from ashley.

ashley, what's your question? >> hi, i'm ashley. i'm 26 years old, and matthew, i've heard you say that it's public to meet men everywhere we go, well, i'm always holding my head up, always smiling, i have a positive attitude, i like to let people know i'm into it, how do i get guys my age to go past just text messaging and asking me out? >> good question. >> okay. every guy wants that combination of being able to chase you, but also feeling like he's going to get a yes somewhere in the process. you don't want to be too easy, but not too difficult. just smiling and positive attitude won't do. i remember very recently i was walk tlaug hotel lobby with three guy friends, and there was a group of women walking in the other direction, and a couple of them smiled, and they gave us every sign that they wanted us to talk to them. and we still didn't. >> why? why didn't you? >> because we're idiots. we're guys. we go they probablimented to

talk to us. >> here's what they did do, walked past and one of them turned around and said, in her head i said i'm going to give it one extra thing. she went where are you guys going? and just saying where are you guys going, we walked straight back, talked to them, we ended up spending the night and having a great time. not like that, hoda. >> you have a very steady -- >> no, it wasn't like that. >> no, or yeah you do? >> chose your words carefully. >> this is the problem with men and women and the relationships. that's the point, they went that slight extra mile. and i always say, just go one millimeter further than you normally would and you'll be surprised what the results are. >> go for it, sweetie. >> thank you. >> we have one last question from kathleen, i volunteer with a guy, and i like him and want to get to know him better. what should i do to take the next step? one who she's friendly with outside of work? >> i volunteer with the guy. with this guy, first you want to start talking to him, but a nice way would be to call out the

fact that you don't know each other well. look and say we never really talk. i don't know anything about you. and then, just in line with what we said, give him that hint that you like him a little bit. >> but don't say should we go get coffee? >> no. i recall we never speak. it's like this cute guy over here, and we don't know each anything about it. she thinks i'm cute, it's perceived, and then he keeps going. >> thank you matthew. >> you're so welcome. >> if you'd like matthew to answer your questions, head to our web and hit the connect button. danny's in the house which means the house will never be the same again. >> guess who else, joe with fall's biggest trends. and you own this one, i bet. >> right after this. hungry for the best? it's eb. want to give your family the very best in taste, freshness, and nutrition? it's eb. want to give them more vitamins, omega 3s, and less saturated fat? it's eb. eggland's best eggs.

>> there were a few legs in there too. >> anyway, nothing is hotter than wearing it as lingerie, but so i'm going to add as we go along. this is melody. and what we did is this is a casual look. wear it pair with pear of leggings, throw on a sweater, belt, hat, and then add a great tote. mix brown and black, love that as well. fab oversized glasses from old navy as well. and access pris. >> cute. >> and you're ready to go. >> so cute. >> that's casual. >> thank you. carmen. >> isn't this great weekend? how adorable is this? now you put it under the sweater, but you see the cuffs, tops, especially if you have a bigger backside, carmen does not, but this is the way to do it in a secretive way. add a necklace if you want another touch. loving this necklace and a clutch. >> and a black shoe because there's a lot going on. it evens it out. >> very cute. >> what is lauren wearing? >> elegant. >> lauren is going from day

tonight. you're in your cubicle and you have your work outfite, then you are going out on a hot date. you have the neckless on, blazer off, and then you just add a clutch. >> got it. >> you could pull. >> she's just standing there, everyone's all over here. >> then you add a clutch and she's ready. >> as a wrap. i didn't have that, see. and then this -- >> excuse us. hello. >> this is cocktail hour. now i wore this to an affair, this is out my of closet and it was leek everybody said you look dynamite. >> it remind me so much of when sharon stone did that at the academy awards. >> watt j. crew. >> then you add a clutch and a great necklace. then you go from day -- >> so beautiful. >> $49. that's from a vintage shop a million years ago. >> nice job, jill. >> you are awesome. >> thank you. do you handle stress?

we don't have any. impulse shopping or mindless eating. you need to see a shrink. >> first, this is today on nbc.

all right. used to be if you saw a therapist you kept it hush hush, over the years, seeking help has become talked about just like going to the gym is. >> and recommending it is no longer taboo, or jerry seinfeld didn't think so when he suggested therapy to george. >> you need help, regular psychiatrist couldn't help you. you need to go to like vienna or something. you need to get involved at the university level, like where freud studied and have people looking at you. that's the kind of help you need. not the once a week for 80 bigs, you need a team. >> how do you know when it's time and if it's really working.

>> here with insight is the michael list, the clinical psychologist. >> we love it when you come because you give really good advice. >> yeah, you're smart. when is it right to see a therapist? i think there are people who find themselves in broken relationships or lost a loved one or something like that -- >> struggling. >> you need something. when should you go? >> it's when you see repeating patterns like i've done this before, i've had this fight before. or the same relationship over and over again. like, i daylighted this man -- dated this man before. he had a mustache last time, now it's not working. or if you find yourself going back to the same patterns. if off bad day at work and you always hit the bars hard or you always do retail therapy to the point where you've got big credit card bills. >> i think people think, i have a good friend or sister or husband or somebody, i don't need a shrink. i'm fine with that.

is that sometimes enough? >> sometimes it is, but, the value of having a therapist is someone that's outside of your circle of friends. because imagine that you're disclosing something really personal to a friend, then you go like about a boyfriend or something like that, and you go on a double date with that person, how uncomfortable because you've talked about your boyfriend. having therapist is someone that is outside of your sucker m, but also that's -- outside of your circle, but also someone that's trained. >> do some people use it as basically to fill the void of a loneliness in their life. say they don't have friends and all of the sudden, their psychiatrist becomes the one person that listens to them. but that's unhealthy as well, isn't it? >> absolutely. sort of a dependence on therapy. if you find you're always going to your therapist and you need to ask them before you make any decisions. that's a red flag that it's time to -- >> that's neurooutic. >> what do you know its worked? what when are you cured? >> i have friends still going, i'm like you're still going,

it's like years after the fact. when is it over? >> that's a great question. i think the thing has to do with action. you know, insight into your problems is helpful, but it's about action. if you're doing something different in your life to make changes that are significant, that's how you know that therapy is working. and if you're not taking action in your life, then it's probably time to consider something else. >> are there problems that you have to carry? you think about people, i mean these are big things, people been through world war ii, big, big, big things that you can't untangle. like certain tragedies in life, you just have to carry and be a productive person, don't you sometime? >> you do. >> you can't fix it. >> you can't fix those experiences, but what you can do is transform those into something for other people. so for example, if you take --away, like help other people been through similar experiences or make an art out of something or writing about it can be helpful for other people. >> and finding the right therapist isn't always easy. how do you know who to go to? >> you know, i think it has to

do with fits. you know, having the initials at the end of your name does not make you good. it's about who you are -- >> same thing with any doctor. >> that's right. >> just show up, meet them, and find out. >> and keep trying. it's like i think about it like dating. you wouldn't necessarily marry the first person you started dating. and the same thing with a therapist, if it doesn't feel right, keep going. >> ultimately, you should end, then not just pay their rent for the rest of their lives. >> that's right. >> thank you, good to see you. >> next week, jada pinkett smith will be with us. >> and what a, wow. guess who else? your boyfriend craig ferguson. >> and bryce dallas howard will be here. >> everyone has a story, and have we got one for you, have an awesome weekend everybody. see you on monday.
