good spirits. >> great to see him after all he's been through. we want to get right to our top stories out of washington. the overnight expiration of key provisions in the patriot act. >> that includes the bulk collection of phone records and other tools used to track potential terrorists. kelly o'donnell is the nbc news capitol hill correspondent. >> reporter: good morning. this is beginning the this morning and the government can no longer sweep up your phone records and one is calling that a victory. a national security showdown. and rand paul's campaign against government surveillance. >> do you think you'll accomplish something tonight, sir? >> yeah. government's bulk collection of records going to end. >> reporter: senator paul's fury over how government intelligence keeps track of when and where you make phone calls has

alienated his fellow we shouldn't be disarming unilaterally. >> supporter insist that saving massive phone records can help track down terrorists. paul joined by some liberal democrats blocked repeated efforts to extend them and he made a stunning claim about his critics. >> some of them secretly want there to be an attack on the united states so they can blame it on me. >> reporter: indiana republican dan coates says paul is not telling the truth. >> americans will be put at risk because of a false narrative being presented and maybe presented for political purposes. >> reporter: paul mobilized the supporters on social media with the #stand with rand. drawing more republican complaints. >> i have run for president twice, but i would never stoop to something like this. >> reporter: but paul told me he's not playing politics. >> i don't think many people question my sincerity on this issue. i forced the issue in two un11. that's always going to be

cynics. >> reporter: this morning the white house calls this lapse irresponsible. t happens next? both parties say they expect they can pass some kind of fix over the next few days where instead of the government collecting the phone records the telephone companies would hang on to them in case they're needed for the investigations. matt? >> and kelly, before you go, this comment that senator paul made to his critics, some of them i think secretly want there to be an attack on the united states so they can blame it on me. i mean, it's a very dramatic comment. this is a victory for him politically, but it seems like it's a polarizing victory. >> reporter: highly provocative. while his stand is popular among the younger voters and others who don't like the bulk collection it's put him apart from his own party. in trying to run for president that's a tough place to be when he's pushed aside and stands

apart for most republicans. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you very much. meantime let's get to the weather. that same storm system that brought historic rains to texas now causing flooding problems across the east coast. and al has the latest on that. >> we were in a moderate drought, we needed the rain, but we didn't need it in all in 90 minutes' time from last night. amazing video from yesterday. this issious outside newark new jersey, apartment buildings, businesses, a real mess and while much of this is now drained, we have more drenching rains today right on into tomorrow. newark over 4 1/2 inches boston an inch. philadelphia close to an inch of rain. we'll watch this system. a stationary front so we're looking at one to three inches. locally could be up to five inches of rain over the next 24 hours. this will lead to more flooding. speaking of flooding it's been

the wettest may ever for texas. austin 17 inches 17 in wichita falls. brownsville, almost ten inches of rain. wettest month ever for the entire state. the average rainfall across the state, 7 1/2 inches. way above the average in june of 2004. why? an active el nino and that stub stubborn pattern. the good nice is guys we are looking for a change in the pattern. and as you see over the next several days dry conditions across all of texas and oklahoma. they do still have major flooding in some of the major rivers including the trinity. that will subside toward the end of the week. >> at least some good news. >> absolutely. >> thanks very much. i want to turn now to the emotional reaction from people all around the world to the death of beau biden. nbc's white house correspondent kristen welker has the outpouring of support for the biden family. good morning to you.

>> reporter: matt good morning to you. vice president biden has cancelled all events today. he's at home with his family in delaware where flags have been lowered to half-staff and the entire political world and people all across the country mourning beau biden who at 46 was taken far too soon. a grieving vice president biden called his son beau the finest man any of us have has ever known. a special father/son bond that was clear to everyone. >> my friends, my father, my hero. >> born in 1969, he was often by his father's side growing up. but he was a decorated iraq war veteran. family came first. >> this is an incredible loss. he was an extraordinary person. >> reporter: the grief gripped washington where lawmakers offered emotional tributes sunday. >> i'd like to express my sincere condolences to the

entire biden family. >> think of a life cut too short. >> reporter: the obamas travelled to biden's home in a smaller than usual motorcade. the president said beau was just like his dad and made a difference in all the lives he touched. this is not the first time tragedy has hit the biden family. beau was barely 4 when he was in a car accident that killed his mother and sister. joe biden just elected to the u.s. senate was sworn in by beau's hospital bed side. >> one of my earliest memories was being in the hospital. my dad always at our side. >> beau was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago after and after treatment was given a clean bill of health but this spring he relapsed. the vice president kept his pain private but became deeply personal at a graduation speech days before beau checked into the hospital for the last time. >> my dad's definition of success is when you look at your son and daughter and realize they have turned out better than you and they did.

>> reporter: now, we expect the vice president's office to release details about the funeral services soon. he was surrounded by the entire family when he passed including his wife hallie and two young children. matt and savannah back to you. >> thank you so much. ron claim served as the vice president's chief of staff and ron, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> there has been such an extraordinary outpouring from all walks of life every political stripe. i think it's a testament to beau and the biden family. how are they doing? how are their spirits this morning? >> obviously it's a horrible tragedy. it's hit everyone in the family very very hard. i know they want to be focused not on their loss but on beau's extraordinary life. and the amazing things he accomplished in his 46 years here. and the kind of person that he was. a great man, a person described by two -- some big words, duty and honor.

heed he of will lived up to them. and ever what the finest man any of us have known.nest man any of us have known. >> we heard some of his accomplishments and they are many. but what strikes people about beau biden is what a warm kind humble person he was. >> yeah. beau grew up as the son of a senator but you would have never known that. he was completely down to earth and really dedicated, of course first to his family but to public service as well. i mean this is a person who signed up for the national guard when he was in his 30s though he was the sitting attorney general of delaware went to iraq and served in a combat unit there where he was decorated. then when he came home he had the chance to run for his father's seat in the u.s. senate. and really would have had it handed to him on a silver platter almost. beau was in the middle of prosecuting one of the largest child abuse cases and thought it was his duty to see it through to the end.

and that kind of character is just extraordinary and that's the kind of person that beau was. >> i think what has touched a nerve so much is just the thought of what vice president joe biden has been through in his life. having lost his young daughter and wife at such a young age. little beau survived. but now to have lost him at the age of 46. knowing him as you do how do you think he will handle this and how is he doing now? >> well i think -- as i said before i think it's obviously an unbelievable tragedy. as you said -- the vice president said before when his wife passed away and his daughter was lost in that accident in 1972 his mother said to him that something good would come out of it somehow. though it's hard to believe, he always always believed it was his relationship with his sons beau and hunter that was so special out of that tragedy. now to lose one of those sons is an excruciating loss on top of

an excruciating loss. the vice president is incredibly resilient people. the biden family is the closest most loving family i know. they'll be there for each other. as the president said yesterday, all of us are there for them. the bidens are loved around the country by political allies and foes. and i know there's incredible outpouring of love and affection for them right now as we think about beau and outpouring of affection now as we think about beau and we think about the family. >> thanks for sharing your memories this morning. i really appreciate it. >> thanks savannah. >> and our our con doledolences go out as well. >> there is fallout from the dennis hastert matter. that follows hastert's resignation in the wake of his charges on lying to the fbi and

federal banking fraud. >> he's agreed to pay $3.5 million to compensate for and conceal his prior miscon conmisconduct according to the indictment when he was a high school teacher and wrestling coach. the prnerson receiving those payments was a male and dennis hastert is expected to be arraigned this week. >> new york's mayor is thankful that not many people were around sunday morning when an air conditioning unit fell from a crane and crashed down to the street below, sheering the side of a 30-story building. ten people were injured by falling debris. the crane was lifting the unit to the top floor when the cable snapped. an investigation is under way.

>> scary moments at los angeles international airport when a car crashed injuring three people. the porsche came to rest on the utility level. a girl is in critical condition. >> john kerry hit a curb and fell on a tour de france route about 25 miles southeast of geneva. he had to cancel the rest of a four-day trip. >> senator lindsey graham will launch his bid later today. he's been one of the president's harshest critics on middle east issues. now to a terrifying fall during

a circus acrobat during a performance in houston late last week. thankfully she's going to be okay. she was hanging from her hair from a replica rocket ship. suddenly she fell into the seats down below. amazingly she only suffered bruises. they say the accident was due to her failing to properly latch on to a safety cord. >> surveillance video shows a car slamming into an auto repair shop. the driver was injured but is expected to survive. no official word yet on how or why it happened. >> got to be a story there. my goodness. >> natalie, thank you. >> a lot of action there. >> mr. roker. >> we have more wet weather up and down the eastern seaboard. also a risk of strong storms in the northern plains. we'll get to your local forecast

authorities are remaining quiet about any additional arrests. so far daron wint has been the only arrested in connection with the killings. wint has a criminal history. his family retained an attorney who spoke to the suspect in jail. >> he believes that they are holding him in hopes that somehow they will find out who really did the killings. >> reporter: and that attorney dismisses the much-publicized dna evidence on a pizza that ties wint to the crime scene. >> there's a substantial time difference i believe i've read between the delivery of the pizza and the deaths. furthermore furthermore, dna analysis is sort of a junk science. >> reporter: some believe the authorities maybe came in on the $40,000 cash that was delivered to the home shortly before the fire and discovery of the family's bodies. >> the interesting thing about money is it usually comes from

places that has lots of cameras. and that will help them with identifying potential sources of information if not actual perpetrators of the crime. >> reporter: so again, while daron wint remains the only person being held so far, he's being held without bond authorities maintain they insist it would be very difficult if not impossible for one person to capture, torture, then kill then set the house on fire all by himself. >> so that investigation still very much going. craig, thank you very much. coming up a "today" exclusive. for the first time since a car accident that killed his friend and nearly took his life tracy morgan speaks out. he'll open up in a live interview about that crash his recovery and the goals he has set for the future. then little leah still suffering a setback in her fight against cancer. hoda just visited her in the hospital and she'll have the latest. also coming up the popular

the comedian suffered brain trauma in addition to a broken leg, ribs and nose. he's undergone physical therapy and has only been seen in public a few times. >> i'm brian fellows. >> reporter: the "snl" alum even admits the 40th anniversary special for the show this year. >> i wish tracy morgan was here tonight. he was hoping he was well enough to be here too. >> reporter: last week he reached a statement with walmart issuing a statement saying walmart did right by me and my family and for my associates and their families. the retail giant adding we are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved. tracy morgan is with us now exclusively along with his attorney benedict morelli. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> you're a sight for sore eyes. >> thank you. >> how do you feel?

>> i'm -- i'm -- i can't believe i'm here. i can't believe i'm in front of you. i can't believe i'm just here. just seeing the tragedy that happened it kind of -- it touches me. >> give me a sense of what the last year has been like for you emotionally. >> i've been down. i have my family. you know i have my wife. we're about to be married. and my daughter my son. to keep my spirits up. then i have ben and mark and all these people to help me get my spirits up. and tina fey and all the people calling me. the case is settled, but the pain is always going to be there for jimmy mac. a he was a close friend of mine. he was a loving man and a warm man. he was a good man. it's hard that he's gone. that's it. >> can i ask you to take me back to june of last year tracy and

that accident? >> i don't remember the accident. i just remember when i came through, megan my fiance was right there, my son was right there. and mark was right there and ben was right there. and that's basically what i remember. >> you were in a limo type of a van or a because that was hit by a tractor-trailer that was going over the speed limit. the impact was devastating as we've seen those pictures. you say you don't remember the accident. did you see james mcnair after the accident? >> the last time i saw jimmy, jimmy wrote a joke for me. it was a donald sterling joke and i asked him to come with me the day before. he said i'll be there. i love you, peace. we went there and i did the joke and everybody got an applause break and i saw jimmy there laughing. >> when did you find out he died in the crash?

>> two weeks later when i came out of the coma. my lady told me we put jimmy to rest. i had just come out of a coma. then when i got home it really hit me. and every day i would just watch the accident on youtube and one day i came across his funeral on youtube and i just -- i lost it for about a week. >> a lot of people wouldn't have wanted to go to youtube and see that. why was it important for you to go see that? >> because i had to know what happened to my friend. i had to know and i had to pay my respect. and that was my way. >> after the accident tracy, there were so many varied reports of your condition. some said you were in a coma. some said just broken bones. what injuries exactly did you suffer? >> well as you can see the scars on my head there are times where i have my good days and my bad days where i forget

things. you know there are times where i got the headaches and the nosebleeds. i won't even let my lady know because i don't want her to be worried about it. but i have my good days and bad days. >> you speak about your lady. you told me something in the green room a moment ago that you almost always travel with your family. that when you do gigs you already always bring them with you, and this one time because your daughter was teething, you did not bring them. >> yeah. i told megan, i said you and the baby stay home. i'll go to delaware and be right back. because i know when i look at that accident i don't think -- my daughter was 10 months old. she wouldn't have made it and megan wouldn't have made it. i don't know man. that's really been the thing that tears me up. >> one thing we want to say is that tracy went from robert wood hospital in new jersey to jfk

because of his head injury. and they did such a great job there for him. and i know tracy has told me many times including yesterday that he wanted to thank dr. brian greenwald who is a brain injury expert and he still sees and takes care of tracy. that's a great hospital at jfk. and i think you also wanted to thank a few people. >> nurse jackie. when i first came out the coma i was a mess. i would curse her out every day. i would throw things at her. the only thing she would say to me is everything is going to be all right. so one day i went to see dr. greenwald and i've been having these dreams about my room that he was in. he said do you want to go upstairs and see it. when i got off the elevator i seen all these faces coming to me that i remembered. guess who came around the corner. nurse jackie. and i just grabbed her and wouldn't let her go. i said i'm sorry, i'm sorry. she said i told you everything

was going to be all right. and i had david. he was a nurse there. he would rub me on my hand and say everything going to be all right, young blood. >> and the thing is matt that you want to know that walmart took full responsibility for this. >> i wanted to get to that. has the emotional side been harder for you to deal with than the physical side? >> well, bones heal. but the loss of my friend will never heal. because we known each other a long time. but i'm happy that walmart stepped up to the plate in a tremendous way. and they took full responsibility as you said because it's true. they took full responsibility. i'm just really happy that they looked out for jimmy mac's family. i know my friend can rest in peace now. in the beginning there was a misunderstanding but that got squared away and they came through in the clutch.

>> what are your goals? do you want to get back to performing? >> i love comedy. i love comedy. i'll never stop loving her. i love comedy and i can't wait to get back to her. but right now my goal is just to heal and get better. because i'm not 100% yet. i'm not. and when i'm there, you'll know it. i'll get back to making you laugh. i promise you. >> you always have. >> there's one thing, matt that i want to say. and tracy -- >> i'd like to say to my son and the brother and all the people that stopped that night to get us out, my drivers ty and ed because they literally tried to pull us out, please let me say this. and i want to thank the helicopter people that took us to the hospital. and the ambulance drivers and police that was on the highway that night and just the passerbies that tried to help. everybody helped our lives.

everybody. >> i just got ten seconds left. >> that's okay. the ceo of walmart reached out to me and tracy and i are going to be speaking to him personally this week because they want to say they're sorry -- he wants to say sorry to tracy directly. and apologize. i think that was a huge gesture. >> and harris i love you. >> benedict morelli, tracy morgan don't be a stranger. you are a sight for sore eyes. >> thank you. >> thank you. and we'll have a check of the weather now from al. >> announcer: "today's" weather is brought to you by trivago.com. >> this weekend it was kind of a scene out of the old west. they had 600 head of cattle at liberty bell ranch just outside houston. they got volunteers and cowboys

doing, how you feel on this anniversary? >> it's hard to believe it's been ten years. that just -- it's just amazing how time has gone by. and, you know where i am today is in a good place. and i've been able to redefine my life and i've been able to find joy and happiness through my son, through my son's new family through my work. so i think i'm in a good place now. >> i know you have a new grand baby. that always kind of brings a smile to your face. >> oh, i do. just the love of my life. just adorable. so i have a lot of good things in my life to celebrate and to have joy back in my life. >> these anniversaries have to be hard and one of the reasons is there always seems to be a crop of stories that come up around these times about new leads. we had this report that natalie's father was pursuing a lead in aruba, somebody who claimed he may have seen her body being disposed of at this construction site. what do you think about that

story? do you think there's any truth to it? >> well actually there is no truth to that story. we have to think about it. every time there's an anniversary coming up whether it's the five year mark the ten year mark there's always -- i hate to say it some craze yis that come out and they have so placed themselves in natalie's story and, you know it's empty. there is nothing to that story. and this particular -- in particular this individual he's been around for a while trying to get traction to get attention, but he has no information. >> does that make you angry? >> make me angry? i think it just makes me sad that you know he would just keep trying to insert himself into this role of her disappearance and that he has information when it's actually untrue. there's nothing about it that's true. >> from almost the very beginning joren was a prime suspect and certainly a focus of the investigation. of course he never was prosecuted in aruba but as fate

would have it traveled to peru was convicted of murdering a young lady there and is convicted of serving a 28 year sentence. he's been permitted to get married and have a baby. i wonder how that sits with you? >> the way i look at it is i don't -- i don't care about that. i don't care what peru allows joren to do because i can't control it. do i like it? no. i wish the peruvian judicial guidelines but since i can't control it i don't care about that. what i care about is information as to what happened to natalee. i just try to stay focused on the facts and just let the other information go because i can't control that. >> does it feel like justice to you that he is in jail right now even if not for the killing of your daughter? >> well i think right now what is happening is stephanie, for the murder of stephanie, justice is being served for stephanie, but until joran faces extorsion

charges in the u.s. then justice is not being served for natalee. >> that's sometimes a decision in the midst of this case to give him $25,000. he said to you, i will tell you where the body is. instead he made off with the money, that's what the accusation is, and went to peru. >> yes. >> this is the basis of the extorsion charges. what are the fact that he will be extradited? >> he will be extradited. the u.s. tried to get him to face charges and serve out the sentence but peruvian court said no. there is a hold on him and he will be brought directly to alabama so he's got a long way to go. >> it's a 28 year sentence. what are the chances he has to serve the 28 years. >> he could get time off for hard work or good behavior none of which is in his dna. >> he's facing another 28 years.

>> it's been ten long years. i know you've never given up hope of finding the answers that you so deserve. i don't know why people use the word closure because i never understand what that means. but are you at peace? >> i don't use the word closure because it's never over. you do find peace, joy and begin to live your life again. it's never over but joy can be found. >> you deserve every bit of joy. beth it's good to see you. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> john good to see you as well. >> sure. >> we will be back in a moment but first this is "today" on nbc.

we're back now. 8:41 with "game of thrones" >> we're back. he puts characters on that show.

it shows a much softer side. >> we'll be able to see each other every day. >> i'll be concentrating on my work. >> lap dogs let's agree. >> kit harington, good to see you here. >> thank goodness. the game of thrones, i'm a germ phone. the dirt the filth, the fact that you don't wash your hair for weeks at a time shooting that freaks me out. >> this wasn't too much better. i lay in a muddy trench for a full day getting rained on. it's not -- this movie isn't without its sort of grosser

side. >> so what is it about showering that you don't like in your acting career. >> i don't know. it's not for me i guess. >> tell me about this story. he plays a writer following in the footsteps of his mom who's also a writer but there's a dark side to this story as well. >> yeah. it's mainly the story of vera britton who's the young lady you can see behind me. the first world war, the men around her go off to war and get killed. it's a harrowing tale and that generation and what they lost and being a woman in that war. >> because the role on "game of thrones" has given you a lot of popularity you get access to great stories and great roles. what do you look for these days? do you look for something that's a change of pace? >> had i to fight for this one. the great thing about "thrones" it opens up doors for you. this one came through. it was a story i knew based on

a book that i had studied at school and it just felt like what i really wanted to do. it was a chance to be in a kind of different period of drama, so to speak. >> i was reading a bunch of articles about you last night. one of them said that your mom has a -- has trouble watching "game of thrones" because of all of the violence in it. >> she said -- what did she say to me on the phone last night? she said are you in danger in this one? i said yes, mom, i'm in danger in this one. she said i don't like it when you're in danger. >> will she watch this one? >> this one i'm in mortal danger again. i don't know i'm not going through a very easy ride with my career. >> the other thing i read about you is that you don't love the hunk status that has been bestowed upon you. why? >> i -- it's not that i don't love it i just don't like being asked about it i guess. someone said do you like being a hunk? which is a kind of ridiculous question. >> so i did it in slightly a

different way. >> maybe slightly different, yeah. >> the other thing, you have an action figure? >> yes. >> we don't get a lot of people here who have their own action figures? >> no. >> are you satisfied with yours? does it live up to your expectations? >> he's in my attic at home. >> not on your mantle or by your bed? >> no. >> what are you going to do next? >> i don't know. i took some time off from working this year which is really nice. then i've got something lined up for next year which is really exciting. i want to get back and do some theater at some point in the u.k. >> will john snow survive with head intact through the current season? >> can't tell you, matt. >> oh, come on. >> i can't. i'm afraid you have to wait and see. >> kit harington, thank you here. >> thank you. up next could you make it through? the thrill of american ninja warrior live on our plaza. see who survives it.

the quality has gone up too. we doubled the prize money. a million dollars on the line. somebody wants to win this year. >> but is it strategy? is it sheer strength akbar? what is going to take to get across? >> i think it's a combination of strategy and upper body strength. because you see a lot of guy who is are successful are the one who is actually ran obstacle courses. you get guys like on this episode tonight -- >> and girls. >> and girls as well. you get guys like tyler braton who played in the nfl. big guy. upper body strength comes into play. >> speaking of girls, casey where is she? >> hey guys. >> one of these things is not like the other. >> 5' even. >> don't take that inch from me. >> she'll punch you. >> and what does it take for

you, someone of your size he talked about upper body size which you have and strategy. what does it take to get through these things? >> i have to approach things differently. sometimes you can get to step you have to step on something, take a little something different. i have to go about it differently but i know i can make it. >> you have experience this year. will that help? >> comming in as a veteran is awesome. it's a lot about mental. it's nice to come back and know what to be prepared for. >> what are we going to see here? >> the salmon ladder and then the ring toss. >> i thought you guys were going first. >> no, no. [ cheers ] >> all right, guys. do your commentary. >> this is a mon ladder she's propelling herself up. >> look at the muscles in the back. you can see all the muscles that you think she's 100 pounds but

she's got a lot of muscle. >> now the modified ring toss. >> hey, guys! >> and there's the transition. her wingspan isn't that long so she's using momentum there. but that was impressive. >> it's amazing. she opened up the door for women. they're competing on the same level as men. >> way to go. >> you inspired us. we're going to have salmon sushi now. guys ladies good luck. season seven. you can catch it here on nbc. >> we will be back in a moment. but first this is "today" on nbc.

from washington, d.c. and the death of vice president biden's son beau. 46 of brain cancer. our thoughts and prayers to the vice president's family and everybody there. just to hear the accolades from all different sorts of people talking about this man. is really life affirming. >> well deserved. what an incredible young man who lived with such honor and dignity and did so much for the state of delaware as attorney general, two terms and also served his country. we pass along condolences. >> great father husband and son. people talk about him as joe biden's son but this guy's life was incredible. >> and dr. natalie azar was on nightly news last night talking about people who battle brain cancer. i found it to be so educational. she was asked about his young age, 46 is that rare she said no. that the survival rate is very

low. >> a clean bill of health too. >> it's not unusual but through this sadness you learn so much about the battle that so many others go through. it's heartbreaking. >> taken in isolation it's a tragedy. you put it together with joe biden's life and the loss of his wife and young daughter in a car accident in which beau biden was also in the zpent. >> is he was sworn in as senator he was at beau biden's bedside at 4. beau remembered that. the vice president said something touching a couple weeks ago. he said as a parent there is nothing more fulfilling than looking and seeing that your children have done better than you and become better people than you. i look at my son i can see that. >> we're thinking about the bidens certainly this morning. our hearts go out to them. we're also thinking about tracy morgan a guy we love he spoke today for the first time in an interview to matt right in this studio. remember tracy was critically injured in a car accident last

june almost a year ago, june 7. tracy was traveling back to new york from a comedy performance in delaware in a limousine bus carrying him and six others turned into its side after slammed into by a tractor-trailer going over the speed limit. the accident killed tracy's good friend comedian james mcnair. tracy calls him jamie mack. matt asked how this past year has been for tracy. >> the case is settled but the pain is always going to be there for jimmy mack. he's a close friend of mine comrade in comedy he was a loving man, and he was a warm man. he was a good man. it's hard to's gone. >> is one of his oldest buddies who was with him. tracy also spoke about a lucky twist of fate that his family who typically traveled with him, was not with him that night.

>> i told megan, i said you and the baby stay home and we'll go to delaware and i'll be right back. because i know when i look at that accident my daughter was 10 months old. she wouldn't have made it and megan wouldn't have made it. i don't know man. that's the thing that tears me up. >> tracy was in a coma for a couple weeks after. didn't find out that jimmy mack died until after he came out of the coma and said his only way of paying respect was to go on line and actually watch the funeral on youtube. he talked to matt about that. >> i would watch the accident on youtube, and one day i came across this funeral on youtube. and i just -- i lost it for about a week. >> a lot of people wouldn't have wanted to go to youtube and see that. why was it important for you? >> i have to know what happened to my friend. i didn't know. and i had to pay my respects.

and that was my way. >> tracy really if you watch the full interview the at today.com, how much he loved these people but also the people he took care of. he thanked the staff, nurse jackie he went down the list of all those that took care of him from the bystanders that night that pulled him out to the helicopter pilot who medevaced him out. he did say he is not 100% but wants to return to comedy and make people laugh. he had a brain injury facial fracture that he pointed to his leg was shattered and he had blood clot in one of his eyes. very serious injury. >> he came in the studio here it was really -- you were there. he came around and hugged everybody. a lot of the crew members worked with him on "saturday night live" so emotional to see him back. matt's taking him over to

"saturday night live" studio which he has not been back into in a long time. that's going to be on nightly and i guess tomorrow. but it's so good just to see him back and on the way back. >> you know he will be back and making us laugh again as he said he would. >> absolutely. >> we have good news to share. we got another plus one. a little addition to our senior producer christine and her husband sal becames amelia. look at that perfectly round little face. born at 9:25 in the morn 6 pounds 10 ounces. a peanut of perfection. her happy parents say she is eating like a champ and already apparently got her dad wrapped around his little finger. >> even at that young age can spin a pizza. i never have seen anything like it. it's just -- important like that. >> admiring her cheeks. something in the water with the "today" show baby cheeks.

my god, look at that, beautiful. >> she looks emotional. so happy. >> look at that little hand. >> sending you big hugs. can't wait to meet the little one. amelia. >> and she's holding on to christine. look at that grip. like that's my mom. >> beautiful. congrats. >> congratulations. also congratulations to elizabeth smart. her father gave an interview an revealed three months ago elizabeth and her husband gave birth to a baby chloe. she made headlines when she was kidnapped in utah she was just 14 at the time. since then she has become an advocate for victims of different crimes and survivors of crimes and she was held captive nine months now 27 married to matthew gilmore. they got married in hawaii. now she's a mom of her own. a baby girl.

her dad revealed this they are proud, they kept it quiet for many months. as soon as he was asked like yes, by the way, we have a grand baby. so that is so sweet for them. >> so blown away by her strength. those things hit me when i see her. the way she carries herself. >> incredible. >> still doing terrific work on behalf of those who don't have a voice. that's terrific. you know we're all looking for an edge when it comes to trying to lose weight. and control our dining. chef? >> he wears so many hats. >> which would you choose? do these meals, these two meals, look -- i guess we each have a fork and taste different? we got grilled chicken, grilled veggies. >> they look different off the top. it's really about the color. >> this is fancier. the red plate looks fancier. >> more appealing?

>> i would dive into that. >> all of my plates are white. >> interesting you say that. an oxford university professor says serving on a red plate may make it look and taste less desirable. >> really. >> yes. according to dr. charles spence a lot of multisensory influences come into play serving food on a red plate, red denotes danger. primtive. danger. and also gives the food less contrast and a white plate which makes it less desirable. >> chefs always say they like a plain white plate. no fancy design. >> now i know why people say my food is good distinguish. i have a white plate. trickery. >> but if it was on a red plate they may not be as impressed with it. >> if you are dieting try a red plate. >> smaller red plate would be even better. there you have it. >> how does it taste? >> the same. >> i tried the other.

so i guess does this work for kids? give them veggies on a white plate? >> didn't go that far. >> he zrus an interesting theory about gastrophysics is what he calls it, how the environment around you really shapes your process of -- for example when you are given a glass of wine in a really beautiful goblet how that wine will taste better than if you drink it out of a plastic cup. >> and where you are eating. >> the music, the lighting. >> the lighting affect it. >> lighting affects it. you like this like fluorescent lighting in a restaurant. >> some restaurants actually keep the music loud and uncomfortable seats to get you out faster. yes. >> full of factoids. >> if you are in the northeast yesterday, i mean deluge in two hours, newark picking up over 4 1/2 inches of rain

they're preventable. one of the major things to focus on is hand hygiene. not only your own hands, but the hands of your caregivers the doctors, the nurses, the staff that surround you every day. first of all take care of yourself first. when you're going for a test, when you're touching any surface in the hospital, you have to remember a lot of patients have been touching them who could have very serious infections you don't want to get. you want to wash your hands carefully. you want to keep the sanitizer ready at all times. and you want to encourage those who visit you and the staff to make sure they wash your hands as well. >> even though they are cleaning the hospitals up and down and doing everything possible to maintain the pristine clean, somehow infections still manage to live on the surface. >> they do. and fortunately many of the germs you'll find in thedeadlier. they're more resistant to antibiotics because they've been exposed to so many in the hospital. these are not the infections you want get. you may go in with one thing and

vand her sloot and his two friends. there were relentless searches and >> i'm not leaving aruba without her. >> van der sloot would become a main suspect although never charged. he repeatedly changed his version of what happened the night natalee disappeared. in a shocking twist, he was arrested in 2010 accused of murdering college student stephany flores in peru. they met at a casino exactly five years to the day of natalee's disappearance. >> do you want to be extradited to the states? >> reporter: van der sloot is now in a peruvian jail serving a 28-year sentence for flores' murder. for a time, there was hope the turn of events would lead to information about what happened to natalee but that has not happened. today natalee's disappearance remains a mystery. >> oh, my gosh. hard to relive the whole thing, isn't it? natalee's beautiful mom beth holloway is with us now. haven't seen you in a few years. you were struggling, as any

faith, so of course with you know, my faith and then just being proactive. everything i did in the search for natalee. even when i was traveling around the country talking to our young adults about personal and travel safety i felt that was -- at first it started out as a cathartic experience but then it turned to where i saw how the impact that it had on these young lives. >> gave your life purpose. >> it did. >> beyond finding your daughter. >> yes. it gave it purpose and meaning and, you know, i was able to then, you know, see the silver lining in our tragedy. through our tragedy, i took our -- what all that we learned into a learning experience for others. >> as it's been a roller coaster in a sense, hasn't it that you would get leads and i'm sure your hopes soared, we're going to find out. have you given up hope that you will find natalee ever? or do you think -- given up hope on finding out what happened to her? two different things. >> well, actually i do think
