we have everything to get it started. >> let's start with the president's late-night meeting, meeting with steve scalise, who remains in critical condition this morning. we have the investigation into that shooting covered from all angles. and we're going to speak with congressman roger williams and his staffer zack barth both injured in that attack. zack was shot. but let us start with national correspondent craig melvin at the field where this all began just 4 hours ago. craig, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you. it was actually roughly this exact same time yesterday morning, less than 100 yards from me, where that gunman open fire. this morning we are learning more about what likely fueled his rampage. we're also learning more about those officers whose actions likely saved many lives. overnight, president trump visiting congressman steve scalise in the hospital where he remains in critical condition. trump tweeting, scalise is in very tough shape but he is a real fighter.

this barely 24 hours after the baseball field scalise was on turned into a war zone. >> we need medics. we got a suspect shooting. >> reporter: scalise, the house's third-ranking republican, shot in the hip. >> we can't help him, we're helpless. i mean, we've got bats versus rifle. >> reporter: the gunfire early wednesday reportedly lasting for ten harrowing minutes, aimed at republicans practicing for a charity baseball game. the gunman, 66-year-old james hodgkinson, reportedly started firing from behind the fence along the third baseline, moving toward home plate and then back toward the dugout unable to find a way onto the field. texas congressman joe barton there with his children. >> i was behind the dugout. my son jack got under an suv and he was very brave. and my other son brad was in the batting cage and he also was very brave. >> reporter: along with scalise, three other victims shot. congressional staffer zackary

barth, matt mika, a lobbyist for tyson foods, u.s. capitol police officer crystal griner. griner among those who return fire at the gunman, fatally wonding him. hodgkinson is from bellville, illinois. investigators say he came to maryland in march and was living out of his van. hodgkinson did ask if the players on the field were republicans. >> he asked me if this team was the republican or democrat team practicing. i responded that it was the republican team practicing. and he proceeded to shoot republicans. >> reporter: on hodgkinson's social media account, a history of anti-republican and anti-trump posts. the president calling for unity. >> we may have our differences but we do well in times like these to remember that everyone who serves in our nation's capital is here because, above

all, they love our country. >> reporter: congressional leaders echoing those sentiments on the house floor. >> we are united in our anguish. an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. >> reporter: meanwhile, the congressional baseball game will go on as planned tonight, just over the potomac here at national stadium in washington, d.c. president trump apparently wanted to attend. secret service telling him that because of the late hour, they would not be able to make the necessary -- take the necessary precautions to get him there. meanwhile, it was revealed yesterday that the gunman had volunteered for the bernie sanders presidential campaign yesterday senator sanders took to the senate floor to denounce violence of any type. savannah, matt? >> craig melvin where it all began 24 hours ago. thank you. we are also learning more this morning about the two capitol hill police officers being credited with stopping

that attack from becoming a massacre. that in the words of one of the elected officials who was there. nbc's tom costello is at medstar washington hospital center this morning, that's where congressman scalise and one of the officers are still being treated. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. quick update now on representative scalise. he's in critical condition. we are told the bullet entered his left hip, it traversed across the pelvis causing significant injuries, fractured bones, internal bleeding, internal injuries. he received several units of blood, underwent emergency surgery and more surgery is planned. meanwhile, also here is that officer crystal griner who is credited along with her partner with saving many lives yesterday morning. after an all-out gun battle in the park -- >> shots being fired. and there are people running, possibly victims involved. >> reporter: -- this morning two

u.s. capitol police officers, crystal griner and david bailey, are being hailed as heroes for immediately returning fire and saving the lives of members of congress, family members and many others. >> if they would not have been there, this would have been a massacre of major proportions of innocent people in a park where innocent civilians walk their dogs. we have kids at practices. >> officers griner and bailey prevented that, and my family and i will be forever grateful. the thin blue line held today. >> reporter: the officers were only there because the gop whip has a security detail. most rank and file members of congress don't. >> the capitol police were firing from behind the dugout we were in, the first base dugout. i kept yelling back, are you friendly? are you friendly? we didn't know if there was another gunman or this was return fire. >> reporter: within three minutes, they had backup from alexandria police, but officer griner was down, shot in the ankle, later airlifted to the

hospital. officer bailey suffered a minor ankle injury himself. one of the most seriously injured, matt mika, a lobbyist for tyson foods, was shot in the chest. zackary barth, a congressional staffer, shot in the leg, was treated and released. on the house floor, speaker paul ryan. >> it is clear to me, based on various eyewitness accounts, that without these two heroes, agent bailey and agent griner, many lives would have been lost. >> reporter: arizona senator jeff flake tweeted out he had personally gone to the hospital and met with both the officers and thanked them for saving his life. really, a sentiment echoed across the political spectrum. but, in addition, a lot of thanks as well to the officers from alexandria who responded immediately also, engaged the suspect, pinning him down and that gun battle going on, as you

know, for about ten minutes. back to you. >> tom costello, thank you. congressman roger williams injured his ankle during that attack and his congressional aide zachary barth was shot in the leg. gentlemen, good morning to both of you. it's good to see you. >> good morning. >> congressmen, forgive me for creation this first question to zach, but this is the first time we've gotten to talk to him and see him. zach, how do you feel and what happened yesterday? >> yeah, i'm okay. i'm very blessed to be alive. and thank goodness for agents bailey and griner. as you all said, without them, there would have been tremendous loss of life. and i probably wouldn't be talking to y'all. >> zach, you were shot. you were out in the outfield. you managed, though, to get yourself into that dugout. what happened once you got into the dugout? >> sure. so, they started shooting at me. i was pinned down in right field. and at that point, i got struck in the leg and made a run for it. i was running for my life. got into the dugout and i was

bleeding pretty badly, but i was really just trying to keep my head down, keep everybody's heads down and prevent anything else from happening. we were -- we didn't know what was going on. there was a lot of uncertainty and we were just trying to stay alive. >> as i understand it, zach, you more or less jumped right into the congressman's arms, right congressman williams? what happened from your perspective? >> well, i was hitting ground balls on the third base side, our third baseman, trent kelly, not knowing, frankly, that the shooter was probably just 20 yards away from where i was. then i went around and started hitting balls to steve scalise. i hit the first grounder to him and all of a sudden we heard this pop. and a lot of us thought it might have been a car backfiring, but then it became pop, pop, pop, pop. people were run yelling, he's got a gun, get cover. and i turned and i immediately, it was a reaction, i guess, i dove into the dugout. the dugout is six foot into the ground, so it's a pretty far --

it's a pretty far dive head-first on a concrete slab, but i did it. when i got there, i was immediately with congressman flake and mo brooks. and all of a sudden here comes zach, and he just jumped in there and all of a sudden here we were arm to arm. and mo brooks took his belt off and gave it to flake and i and we helped put a tourniquet on zach's leg to help his bleeding. and then we stayed down. and we had -- we had generations in this dugout. we had everybody from my age to the late 60s to a 10-year-old, joe barton's son was in the dugout with us. and people were protecting him. so we bonded that day, but it was a scary thing. and i just want to say real quick that the thin blue line worked. these two officers were fabulous. they saved all of our lives. there's no question that it would have been different if they hadn't been there. and we owe it all to them. >> if you think about what would have happened had that gunman

not been opposed by those two officers during those first three minutes before the alexandria police got there. another thing that struck me, i don't know if you saw that animation we had, this gunman started on the third base side, went up and down the line around toward home plate and back up because he couldn't find a way to get on the field. have you stopped to think about what would have happened had he made his way onto that field? >> well, it would have been a lot different. and the amazing thing was, he was trying to get through a gate and the gate was locked. so he couldn't get through the locked gate. he had nowhere to go. but if he had gotten onto the field, i mean, we would have had nowhere to go. we had baseballs and bats to defend ourselves. so the lord worked his -- the lord worked yesterday. he saved us. and we're grateful for that, but also grateful, again, for these capitol police that saved all of us. >> zach, i always wonder what it must be like to lay your head down on your pillow after a day like the one you had yesterday

and what thoughts go through your mind. can you share how you're feeling and how you're thinking about what's transpired? >> yeah, i mean, i'm receiving plenty of prayers and thoughts. the people around me, we've got a great community. i'm from houston, texas. plenty of people back home have reached out to me. and the people around here, you know, on both sides of the aisle, we've got a great community up here on capitol hill. and everybody has just lifted me up and i couldn't be more blessed. >> i have to say, it's going to be one of the most watched congressional softball games in history. >> it's not softball. >> baseball, excuse me, baseball. with good reason. i know your thoughts and prayers go to everyone impacted by this tragedy. >> certainly has. we hope people come to the game. we hope nat stadium is full. 50,000. it goes to charity. some people thought maybe we shouldn't have played it but as speaker ryan and joe barton and i talked about, we need to play

this game. it's baseball, it's america's game. when america gets punched, america punches back and we'll do that tonight. >> congressman roger williams and zach barth, best wishes to both of you for your recovers, thank you. and now we'll turn to the investigation into the russia involvement in the 2016 election now led by special counsel robert mueller. "the washington post" is reporting that mueller's team is actively investigating the possibility that president trump obstructed justice. nbc national correspondent peter alexander joins us from the white house. what can you tell us? >> reporter: this could be a significant turning point in the investigation. the president the subject of a criminal investigation into possible obstruction of justice. just moments ago, president trump tweeted writing, they made russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. nice. as president trump was wrapping up his 71st birthday, an

unwanted gift from robert mueller. "washington post" reporting they are expanding the russian inquiry, now saying the president may have obstructed justice. investigators working with mueller are reportedly preparing to interview three top intelligence officials including director of national intelligence dan coats and the head of the national security agency mike rogers. it's a dramatic development in an investigation that's been looming over the trump administration since day one. the post reporting the obstruction of justice investigation began days after mr. trump abruptly fired fbi director james comey on may 9. the move appearing to confirm what comey told senators under oath last week, when asked whether he believed the president's request to back off the investigation into national security advisor michael flynn amounted to obstruction. >> that's a conclusion i'm sure the special counsel will look to, to try to see what the

offense was and whether it was the intention. >> reporter: comey said that mr. trump did not try to stop the russia probe. mark caz -- the lawyer, not denying the post report but saying the fbi leak of information regarding the president is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal. mueller on capitol hill on wednesday meeting privately with the leaders of the senate intelligence committee. the chairman of that committee richard burr called their meeting constructive. the latest headline 24 hours after the president's aides tried to knock down speculation he may try to fire mueller. the spokesperson said, while the president has every right to fire him, he has no intention to do so. and new this morning, "the wall street journal" reports that the former deputy of the national security agency wrote a memo documenting a phone call that his boss, mike rogers, had with the president. president trump reportedly cast doubt on the intelligence committee's conclusion that russia interfered with the election and tried to persuade admiral rogers that there was no evidence of collusion between his campaign and russian officials.

matt and savannah? >> peter alexander, thank you. let's bring in msnbc's chief legal correspondent ari melber. good morning to you. let's play this out, two of the key intelligence officials, mr. coats and mr. rogers, have already said that they didn't feel, they said this under oath, that they were not pressured in any way to end any kind of investigation. so is this obstruction investigation now going to boil down to the word of james comey verse the word of the president? >> probably not. that's because the doj doesn't care about their feelings in the way they put it in the now famous testimony. the doj cares about the feelings and intent of the president. this is by far the largest development legally in the trump era. it is a sign that the inquiry is not just about the campaign in the past, it's a criminal inquiry into the president's conduct in office, the present. >> and how is that likely to proceed? i mean, in a normal investigation, one might try to get the testimony of the person you're investigating. could mueller conceivably get the testimony of president trump under oath?

could it set up a situation where the president could say, i don't want to testify because of the privilege or fifth amendment? >> all those things are possible. previously, we have seen prosecutors or independent prosecutors seek testimony of white house aides, senior officials and get it. grand jury testimony is hard to resist. president clinton was faced with it, and we are not there yet, they agreed voluntarily to do grand jury testimony under oath. whether a president would not agree and be forced is a legal question that has never been answered. >> ari melber, thank you very much. another big story we have been covering this morning, that terrible inferno in london. the death toll has raisin -- risen overnight and is expected to go higher. at least 17 people lost their lives in the fire that consumed a high-rise apartment building. and this morning many more people still remain missing. authorities are calling this the city's worst fire in a generation. bill neely is nbc's chief global correspondent and is there again for us this morning.

bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. amazingly, this building is still on fire, the death toll rising, dozens still missing. most of them lived on the top floors of this building. among them, whole families of five, six and seven people. it's another terrible blow for a country that recently has been hit hard. high up in the smoking tower block, they are recovering bodies. down below, the shock is still sinking in. >> people calling mom, dad, their loved one, and i couldn't do anything. >> reporter: relatives wait helpless. >> i don't think they are alive. >> reporter: you don't think so. fire swept the tower in minutes as people slept. at least 600 inside. >> there's a family, there's a kid! >> reporter: they signaled with flashlights, tied sheets to escape. firefighters battling to save them. >> he's going, he's going. >> reporter: and distressing

scenes inside, a woman failed her attempted escape. >> hello. come here. >> reporter: she and her children are still missing. like five of this man's family. >> the whole family went up, complete. >> reporter: there's grief and anger. the building recently covered in toughened plastic. no sprinkler was required, but there was no central fire alarm. a couple people have described this to me as a death trap. is that going too far? >> obviously, it was a death trap. >> reporter: and a death toll, police say will rise by dozens. so real anger here. the singer adele has come to this area. she visited last night. she's from london. she met residents, just one of the millions here really shocked by this tragedy. matt and savannah? >> bill neely in london, thanks. now we'll get a check on the weather. al is on the road this morning in florida. al, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. we'll talk about that in a bit,

but also let's look into what is going on right now. we have some severe weather that's firing up through the plains and the upper midwest. strong storms from kansas city on just to the south of indianapolis heading on into parts of kentucky. we do have a risk of severe weather today stretching from the plains all the way into the southeast. 16 million people at risk for isolated tornadoes, damaging winds and severe hail. that's what's going on, we'll get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds.

all right. we are back now, 7:30 on this thursday morning, the 15th day of june, 2017. there's a look at nationals park in washington, d.c. that is where members of congress will hold their charity baseball game tonight. it's a tradition that has been going on since 1909. and that charity event will go on as planned tonight. in the wake of that shooting wednesday. >> i think it will be a very emotional night. lots of people there. and i think they are raising even more money for charity, which is wonderful. let's check some of the other headlines this morning. the president is under investigation for obstruction of justice. that's according to a report in "the washington post." special counsel robert mueller has requested interviews with three high-ranking current or

former intelligence officials and also seeking documents related to the white house's interactions with with nsa over that russia investigation. and meanwhile, the jurors in the bill cosby sexual assault trial may have another long day ahead of them after failing to deliver a verdict on day three. they fought fatigue while re-hearing large chunks of testimony on wednesday. so far, they have been deliberating and reviewing evidence for a total of 28 hours. and the dashboard camera captured a terrifying wrong-way crash on a utah highway. a pickup truck was driving north in the southbound lanes near salt lake and slammed right into an oncoming car. amazingly, everybody walked away from that crash. police, though, are still searching for the driver of the truck who fled the scene on foot. marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found inside that vehicle. >> a close call. >> really close. let us turn back to the big story of the morning, the attack on members of congress. as we learn more about the 66-year-old shooter, james

hodgkinson. the team is standing by with the latest. justice correspondent pete williams. good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, investigators are discovering more by the hour about this illinois man who was accused of being the gunman and killed at the scene, except the answer to one of the big questions. why did he do it? for nearly three months, investigators say, james hodgkinson lived in this cargo van near the ball field he attacked early wednesday morning. residents say he often showered at this nearby ymca. >> i would see him down in the locker room as we're interacting. >> reporter: neighbors say he sometimes slept in the park where the congressional team practiced. >> i've seen him in the neighborhood just walking around the neighborhood and sleeping on a bench in the park. >> reporter: others who came in contact with him say he didn't seem dangerous, though some say he was odd. >> he's always been a little strange every time he comes in. one of those things where you can't quite put your finger on it. >> reporter: he came here from

belleville, illinois, a st. louis suburb, where he was a home inspector. just before he left for washington in late march, he was target practicing in the woods. >> i said, i'm going to call the sheriff. it's like a cannon he's shooting out there. >> reporter: on social media he expressed bitter opposition to republicans and president trump, writing on facebook, trump has destroyed our democracy. its time to destroy trump and company. during the nationwide occupy wall street demonstrations in 2011, he talked to the st. louis fox affiliate. >> 99% are getting pushed around. and the 1% are just not giving a damn. >> reporter: and last year illinois democrats say he volunteered for the bernie sanders campaign. the fbi's asking now for tips from anybody who talked to him recently as investigators seek answers to why he came to washington in the first place. and why after being here nearly three months he suddenly turned so violent. back to you all. >> pete williams in washington, thanks. of course, a lot of washington is on edge and on

high alert after this shooting. just about everybody's crediting the security detail assigned to the house majority whip steve scalise for preventing a bigger tragedy. numbers nbc's kasie hunt is on capitol hill with more on that part of the story. hi, kasie, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. many of the lawmakers we have spoken to said they typically have felt safe here at work in washington, d.c. but after yesterday's terrifying incident, they say that's all changed. a gunman opening fire in broad daylight on the republican congressional baseball team. hitting majority whip steve scalise and three others. scalise's security detail helped take down the gunman, preventing what could have been a massacre. >> if scalise wasn't there, we would have had real trouble. this guy had an ar-15 or something. and he was ready to go. >> reporter: only the top leaders in congress get full-time security protection. typically rank and file members don't. >> i never thought i would come to a baseball practice for a

game for charity, local d.c. charities and have to dodge bullets. >> reporter: members of congress have typically felt safe inside the beltway. but wednesday's incident has some now thinking it's a false sense of security. >> i will tell you, somebody with a carry permit that i've had for 30 years, i think for my own safety and others i'm going to go back to probably carrying a lot more than i did when appropriate. >> reporter: others are calling for a change in clearance current security measures. >> we just need to wake up and have standard protocols in place. >> reporter: members of congress have been targets before. in 2011 congresswoman gabby giffords was shot as she met constituents at a supermarket. giffords tweeting wednesday, i'm heartbroken and saying, quote, i know the courage it takes to recover from a shooting like this. now congress members receiving threats like this voice mail are the norm. >> almost every week that i've been a member of congress i've received some kind of threatening message. >> reporter: the latest threat? after the shooting she received an e-mail that said, quote, one

down, 216 to go. >> to me that's a little scary. >> reporter: others like senator claire mccaskill say they feel safe on and off the hill. >> i hope we don't go too far because that would be a mistake in a country where we really cherish our freedom. >> reporter: both sides of the aisle wondering how to balance their freedom with security. in the aftermath of yesterday afternoon, the republican manager of the team joe barton stood next to his democratic counterpart and made a point that is sometimes lost in this harsh political environment that we're living in. he said, members of congress are often no longer looked at as people, but they feel these threats as personally as anybody would. it's a good lesson for everyone right now. matt, savannah. >> you think about congressman barton's two little boys being right there. kasie, thank you very much. let us get a check of the weather now from al who's in florida. al, good morning again. >> good morning, guys.

talked about this before. when you came up with this brand and put it out there and put yourself out there, there were critics, as there always are, read my twitter feed. how has the brand goop impacted this brand paltrow? >> that's a good question. we're kind of intrinsically linked. i'm also the face of the brand in a lot of ways although i always look for ways to build the brand without my image. we have an incredible group of people all are building the brand. i'm not really sure. i'm so focused on building the business and i'm sort of less focused on the kind of gwyneth paltrow part. >> help me out. what is harder? running your own company or raising a teenage daughter and a preteen son? we share this, by the way. i have a daughter the same age as apple. >> so far, apple is pretty great. she's not -- sometimes she asks me to like close her door.

"1984," this is heavy stuff. >> it is heavy stuff, but heavy times call for heavy stuff. >> now, "1984" is the book everyone read in high school or said they read in high school. >> it's the number one book people lie about having read. >> i know. i actually was thinking, like, did i read it or just pretend i read it? >> cliff's notes did well in "1984." >> this is not just staging, we were talking about it in the commercial. >> it is intense. >> in what way? >> it involves multimedia where you're shooting video simulcast onto the stage. cameras and back to the stage. there's a lot of light and sound work really immersivmmersive. and it is a different experience. it's not like watching a play, it's like going on a really scary ride. >> scary and it can get physical. talk about this. four members of the audience have actually passed out. >> yes. >> you busted your own lip during a performance.

>> yeah. >> and you broke your co-star's nose. >> i did. but it was in retaliation because he broke my cosyx, which i didn't know we had. >> why are you breaking bones on this production. >> we are doing everything necessary to tell the story right. and it is an intense story. so we are throwing ourselves in. it's worth it. >> you play julia for those who don't know or didn't read it. the story is about an oppressive state, kind of, trying to police our thoughts. >> exactly. dystopia totalitarian state with surry va say lance and people are loyal to the party and bad things can happen to you. julia may or may not be a spy. and there's a love story that ensues and it is very intense. >> it sounds like it. so you've got to go home, you work late nights and then your kids who are 3 and 1, i'm sure they just let you sleep in. >> oh, they love to sleep in and make me brunch.

no. they like to get up around 6:30. and it's -- >> is that the new one, daisy and otis? >> she's 8 months and he's 3. and they are amazing. it's great to be living my dream. broadway was something i always wanted to do but never felt like i could call myself an actor until i had done it. and now i feel like i'm earning my keep and get to come home to those little amazing people. >> jason, your fiance, just did a play himself. did he give you any advice, kind of? >> he did. he told me to be patient with the process. i'm a perfectionist and typically with a film you put something out that you know is right and ready. with a play, you go through this preview process where you put something out that is still kind of figuring itself out. and it's -- it's really a vulnerable and amazing and humbling process. >> you're working out the kink in front of everybody, yeah. >> in front of people. but the audiences know that and love to be a part of the process. we have had a lot of people come at the beginning of previews and want to come back after opening.

this is a show people want to see a bunch of different times because you pick up different stuff from the storyline. so it is fun to have the repeat audience members. >> and we always say when you're here that you and i are on the same page and schedule. you have a baby, i have a baby. you have a baby, i have a baby. just so you know, i'm done. >> i'm done, too. >> we're done. it's a wrap. it's a wrap. your boy is the oldest, is he adjusted to the little one? >> no. >> does he try to throw her out or anything? >> he absolutely wants her out. i think he secretly really loves her. but he's making her really tough by giving her a hard time at the moment. but it's making her a very tough patient little woman. >> yeah. it's good. siblings are the best. thank you so much for being here o live olivia wilde. the official opening is june 22nd, check it out. coming up, our style squad has assembled their must-have picks f or

we're back with our series "backyard barbecue with al." he's been surprising dads father's day and today we find mr. al in palm coast, florida. >> he's about to street someone to a fantastic barbecue. al, take it away. >> reporter: okay, guys. well, you know, this guy, melvin bradley, i have a lot in common with.

you'll see why in just a moment. he's a former fedex employee and he thinks we're doing commercials about retired fedex workers. well, guess what? we're about to give him the surprise of his life. >> my father's name is melvin bradley. he's 64 years old. and retired. you know, he started working when he was 16 years old. he graduated from high school and went straight into the military. he was a meteorologist in the air force. and that's what i remember the most is, like, my dad always did weather. he lived in germany for four years and it was just me and him. and that was probably some of the most precious time that i've ever had in my entire life. we hung out and, you know, he had to learn how to do a girl's hair. and deal with girl drama. >> they expect their package to be delivered. >> he worked for fedex for 20 years doing meteorologist again. the cool story about fedex is there were no meteorology jobs

open. so he started working in the hub in memphis like you see on tv, late nights, you know, moving packages. and he moved up from, you know, working meteorology to being a manager before he retired. there was an opportunity to work for a local memphis station doing the morning weather cut-ins. >> well, we're starting off this morning with pretty mild temperatures. >> it was so neat to, like, wake up and see my dad on tv giving the weather for all of memphis. my dad and my stepmom got married september 1st, 2001. i can honestly say when he met her, his entire life changed. i have never seen two people that, while they met later in life, it's as if they have known each other since they were kids. so we have five kids and 11 total grandkids from 6 to 21. he absolutely loves all of his grandkids. and would do anything in the world for them. everywhere he's gone, he's had a

grill. and it's really neat to see him pass that down to my son who now enjoys grilling and wants to learn to grill like his grandfather. i've never experienced a love like i have for my dad. you mean the world to all of us. and i hope you enjoy this father's day. >> reporter: all righty. well, we are pulling up right now in a fedex truck to melvin bradley's house. i don't think he knows exactly -- i can see him there standing with his family, his grandchildren, his wife, his daughter. and i think we're going to surprise him. all right. melvin bradley, how are you? >> i'm good. how are you? >> i have a fedex surprise for you. >> i don't believe it. i don't believe it. surprise, surprise. >> you are live on the "today" show right now. >> am i on the "today" show? >> you are. you can blame this young lady.

>> you did this, didn't you? >> you thought we were about to do a commercial for fedex employees. i see you have your hat on. well, first of all, i wanted to meet you because i finally can meet somebody that knows how to do the weather. but not only that, but this young man behind you, do you know who this is? >> no idea. >> this is chris lily, world champion barbecue mavin. >> is that right? >> that's right. and he, you and i are going to do a cooking segment grilling your world famous ribs live on the "today" show. >> that will work. >> are you surprised? >> no, i'm not. i'm in weather, you're never surprised. >> well, what makes him such a great dad? >> he's just been so loving and just so caring. and he's giving great advice and just an amazing grandfather. >> melvin bradley, happy father's day a little early. we'll be grilling with you. we've got more from palm coast, florida, and the rest of the "today" show coming up. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

all right. welcome back, everyone. we talked to green.nwyneth paltd now she's joined by jessica >> they are here to co-host our next hour. they're very excited to hear that. >> all four of you.

>> they will tell us about apple's first original series. >> it's called planet of the apps. they compete for these million dollar startups. hi, kids. first of all, i like your new outfit. >> thank you. >> tell us a little bit about this, planet of the apps. >> i feel like gary is really good at it. >> gary is succinct. >> thank you, guys. i think it's a show where we're looking at the realty of this new ecosystem that dominates our society, apps are culture and we're looking at people pitching to us, we're mentoring getting them prepared and pitching to a vc -- >> like and escalator. they have to say it fast? >> and they compete to join all our teams. we each have a team and compete for them to join our team. we mentor them a couple of months. they go in front of one of the top vcs in the world to get

funding. >> they're going in front of you to pitch their ideas. >> we see them in all our offices because we mentor them while we're at work so they can see the type of people -- how we operate our businesses. >> a cool concept. >> it's a raw app at first and we add our two, three, four or five cents. >> sounds like the pitch of silicon valley. >> you will learn much more about this when these guy happening now. good morning. happening now, we're live at the warriors parade. the setup is under way and the crowd is certainly here this morning. the weather is cooperating. security here, everything feels pretty safe. >> yeah, i noticed you were getting buddy-buddy with some of the officers. they're watching out for us at the victory parade here. within the last 20 or 30 minutes

the crowd size here has really started to swell. people were up from very early hours. >> 2:00, 3:00 in the morning traveling in. we've talked to a lot of people behind us. the sidewalks here were pretty clear but now they are starting to back up with a lot of people packed bike sardines, ready to celebrate our warriors. >> it's going to be a generational experience for so many families. i'm seeing moms and daughters and fathers and sons. >> little babies. >> are you a politician? kissing babies and shaking hands for a little while before but that's all part of the experience. it's going to be absolutely incredible. >> that's right. sam and i will will be here live. 9:30 is when it all gets under way. stay with nbc bay area for the very latest. we're also facebooking the works. we hope you to see at 9:30 this morning. whoa!

you're not taking these. hey, hey, hey! you're not taking those. whoa, whoa! you're not taking that. come with me. you're not taking that. you're not taking that. you're not taking that. mom, i'm taking the subaru. don't be late. even when we're not there to keep them safe, our subaru outback will be.

(vo) love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. >> to that end, the faith-based initiative offers this morning on "today's take," will.i.am, gwyneth paltrow are our celebrity co-hosts. and then our summer dos and don'ts. and we're throwing a full-on animal house party coming up now. >> from nbc news, this is "today's take" live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> it is 9:00 on the dot here on the east coast. welcome to "today" on this thursday morning, june 15, 2017. we hear the music and are listening to "i've got a feeling" by the black eyed peas. >> can we turn that up? all right. >> you are going to love our show today because frankly, this is just not a normal morning.

these are our co-hosts. not exactly. i love jenna, but this is not quite the same. >> what do you mean? i'm not enough for you. we have to bring in four other people. >> we just turned up the volume. we'll introduce everybody. we have actress and co-founder of the honest company, jessica alba. yes! we have founder and ceo of i am plus, will.i.am. we have academy-award winning actress and founder on goop, gwyneth paltrow. and entrepreneur and co-founder of digital agency, gary vaner. >> you go by gary v. >> vaner is tricky. >> we should get your name in there. >> we should explain really quickly, they are all advisers on the new apple music show. you're going to love it called "planet of the apps." >> this is a really fun new show where they all are advisers to

different people. it's the first original series produced by apple. and the first episode debuted on apple music june 6. tell us a little bit about this, how did you all get involved? jessica? >> how did we all get involved? well, it was will's idea, really. >> yeah. a year and a half ago, ben silverman and howard owens approached me about the show. >> and they come from -- >> they come from tv. they are, like, big tv guys. i told them, hey, why don't we go to apple and pitch it to apple. so i flew up to apple to pitch them the idea. then everyone started throwing around ideas and never thought gwyneth paltrow, jessica alba and gary v. would be here. >> we know about the elevator pitch. but in this show, the contestants ride down the escalator pitching their ideas. >> it is kind of genius. >> that's a ben and howard thing. the production team jumped in to

figure that out. when you have a limited amount of time, a lot of people don't realize a lot of the pitches, they may be scheduled for 30 minutes. by the time the meeting starts, the reality is you have a couple minutes to convince someone to change your life in real life. and we replicate that with the escalator. >> how does it work? they come down the escalator and give them your pitch. then do you choose if you like it and they become on your team, you're a mentor? >> we have to pitch against each other. >> then we all compete if we all want the same person to join our team. and we try to convince them to join our team. >> so does it get competitive? >> oh, sometimes. >> look at her face. >> a little bit. jessica is like the most incredible, smart, like winner. so when we started her pitch, we are all like, okay, nevermind. >> so this is for people at home, to give you a good idea, we'll check out one app developer lauren who worked with you, right, gwyneth? >> yeah.

>> let's take a look. >> lauren, as a team we would love to work with you. we want to show you that we have real conviction in your idea. so with that in mind, we would like to give you an offer today, $5 million on a $16 million evaluation. >> what? >> wait. we're talk millions of dollars? >> yes. that was -- i woke up this morning -- i woke up yesterday morning and watched the show, because that's my first time seeing the episode. and when we filmed the show, i don't know what happened when gwyneth went to pitch with her, you know, her app that she's representing. so that was my first time seeing that. and i got -- i jumped out of bed like -- i was so excited. because i knew how stressful being backstage, see the developers, all the hard work, the discipline, the focus.

so to see that go through, and that was an amazing win. >> it's really interesting. we all have the things we run, but it's on you. this was an interesting thing because you get so emotionally vested into the humans. you go into this room. you have to really let them pitch. like i was biting my tongue the whole time because it's really got to be them. and then their lives change or they don't. i mean, that's just real. >> it's huge. >> this is not like, hey, now america knows about them. these are millions of dollars, they are trying to build companies. that's a big deal. >> really awesome. >> we'll talk about that in the hour ahead. but i wanted you to explain it so they are like, okay, what are they doing? the new episode is available exclusively on apple music each tuesday. >> yes. >> that's cool. i have to tell you guys, i was asking earlier, i didn't realize this was possible. so you can go on apple to see a show. this is just -- >> well, it's new, right? it's cutting edge. >> this is the first step. >> in every app, you can go into the app store, and it is actually available right there.

so you get that instant gratification. >> we'll talk more throughout the show, but now you have an idea what is going on. >> in honor of your new show "planet of apps," by the way, we saw what you did, we like it. we created our own game, it's called "tech talk." come on in. >> we always have a random game. >> sometimes these go well and sometimes they don't. >> we got a fancy globe this morning. >> do we open the globe? okay. >> oh, it opens. you explain the game. >> you're going to -- i think i just broke the globe. we are going to take a tech question and answer it. it's not that difficult. who wants to go first? gwyneth? >> sure. >> all right. you can grab one. >> sure. >> shall i say? >> you shall. >> what is the right age to give a kid a cell phone? >> that's a good question. i have a 4-year-old, she's too young. >> i just went through this. i have a 13-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son.

so she was 12. and he was 11. >> that's good. >> which is not technically fair. >> is that late, 12 or 11? >> if you were my mom, it's 19, 20. >> well, we were all -- >> i think that's a good age. like 12. >> yeah, i think 12. she fought hard. they kept getting moved back. >> look at her face. >> mom. mom. 13, 14. or 12 and 13. not 19, 20. i got brothers and sisters, they can't have cell phones. they are like 19, 20. for real, right now. it's okay. >> you're their brother and they can't have a cell phone, that doesn't sound right? >> it sure don't. mom -- america knows. >> but the world is changing. >> i think 19/20 is right. >> what? >> yes. >> let's talk. it's 8 or 9 on the coasts. and it's 11 or 12 in the middle.

that's what is happening. >> okay, next. >> guys, don't be mad at me. that's what is happening. what app do you turn to if you have five minutes of spare time? for me it's probably twitter. my main thing is i want to engage with people engaged with the content or things i'm up to. so i want to answer questions. so whether twitter or the comments within instagram. i'm more about replying than ame amei am creating content. >> that's a good question. >> you have ten seconds to answer. go ahead. >> what's the last item you bought online? >> what's the -- >> what's the last item you bought online? >> keep it clean. >> i love subscriptions, of course. so i always update my bundle. so i just got my honest beauty bundle. and i'm an amazon prime member. so i do all of that. but then also postmate. so basically i'm online my whole

life. my whole life is online. >> nice, we have 30 seconds. it's all you, my man. >> custom ring tone or generic. as my old job, i don't like ring tones. >> you are not telling the truth. >> i'm serious. i want my phone to ring-a-ling-ling. >> ring-a-ling-ling. >> that kind of sounds like a hit, a ring-ali-ling-a-ling. okay. i don't know where that came from. we found some of the funniest we found some of the funniest jabs of our co-hosts ♪
