then. >> it appears at this point in time to be a tragic case of apparent suicide. but it is early in the investigation. there was a suicide note left at the scene. >> reporter: this morning, a single question surrounds spade's apparent suicide, why? in an interview with npr last year, spade suggests she suffered with anxiety. >> i am also a very nervous person. i worry a lot. >> you're like the sleepless nights person? >> yes. and always, the sky is falling. >> reporter: top names in the fashion world, like anna wintour, remember spade like her bags, as unpretentious. the "vogue" editor in chief said, kate designed with great charm and humor and built a global empire that reflected who she was and how she lived. before we came up with authenticity, she defined it. >> hi, i'm kate valentine spade.

>> reporter: for a generation of young women, kate spade was the bag to have. former first daughters, chelsea clinton and jenna bush tweeting they got their first kate spade bag as gifts in college. mindy kaling, honoring how spade's clothes made her feel. they were colorful, bold and cheerful. they encourage with women to find the twinkly person inside them. david spade, her brother-in-law, posting a photo to instagram, writing, she was so sharp and quick on her feet. she could make me laugh so hard. i still can't believe it. it's a rough world out there, people. try to hang on. in 2002, spade had a poignant message for "glamour" about her legacy. i hope that people remember me not just as a great businesswoman, but a great friend and a heck of a lot of fun. >> stephanie, if there's not a greater example of not knowing what is going on in someone's mind or heart, i guess we are

learning now she did have mental struggles, according to her family. >> reporter: yeah. that's right, savannah. nbc news received a statement from her sister, rita saffo, she believes her sister suffers from bipolar disorder, as a result of the immense pain she wasn't prepared for. she adds, describing her sister, as a precious, precious person, and calls her death a tragic and sad ending, to the life of a colorful and delightful being. it's a good time to remind people that if they know someone that is suffering from depression or suicidal thoughts, to contact the suicide prevention lifeline. that number is 1-800-273-talk. it's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. back to you savannah. >> i'm glad we put that number up there. stephanie, thank you so much. also this morning, the former president bill clinton, expressing some regret over his controversial remarks about monica lewinsky here on "today." but still making false allegations about that

interview, with craig. >> overnight, the former president said that his interview with us was not his, quote, finest hour. speaking with mr. colbert, he made an apology with the monica lewinsky but took question with the interview. >> i watched you on the "today" show yesterday morning. i noticed you didn't enjoy that entire interview. >> reporter: overnight, bill clinton responding again to his contentious interview that aired monday here on "today." >> my question is, would you like a do-over on that answer? >> reporter: the former president suggesting that nbc news took his words out of context. >> when i saw the interview, i when i saw the interview, i thought that because they had to you know, distill it. and it looked like i was saying i didn't apologize, and i had no intention to. and i was mad at me. >> at issue, mr. clinton's comments on monica lewinsky and whether he ever apologized to

the former white house intern for the sex scandal 20 years ago that led to his impeachment. >> i didn't like this one, it started with an assertion that basically i had never apologized, as if i had never tried to come to grips with it and as if there had been no attempt to hold me accountable. >> in fact the exchange began with a question. >> did you ever apologize? >> not -- yes. and nobody believes that i got out of that for free. i left the white house $16 million in debt. but you -- typically have ignored gaping facts in describing this and i bet you don't even know them. >> i asked if you apologized. >> i have. i apologized to everybody in the world. >> but yed to her. >> i have not talked to her. >> do you feel you owe her an apology? >> i never talked to her.

but i did say publicly on more than one occasion, i was sorry. that's very different. the apology was public. >> you don't think a private apology is owed? >> i think this thing -- it's 20 years ago, come on. >> our report included part of mr. clinton's public apology 20 years ago. which the former president expressed again last night saying his "today" interview wasn't his best moment. >> it wasn't my finest hour, but the important thing is, that was very painful thing. that happened. 20 years ago and i apologized to my family, to monica lewinsky, to her family, to the american people. i meant it then, i meant it now. i've had to live with the consequences every day since. >> tuesday night, mr. clinton also appeared at a "new york times" event in manhattan. >> what surprised me was the flat-out assertion that i never apologized. >> echoing his comments to

colbert, acknowledging his missteps while taking nbc to task. >> i got mad about not being asked about it. and i should have remembered that that man is young enough to be my son. i messed up and i own that. and no mistake by anybody else, including that ill-mannered aggressively saying i didn't apologize, can justify the fact i got mad when i should have been saying i got a chance to tell a whole new generation. which is a journey the one i've been on the last 20 years is one i had to take. >> it must be surreal hearing the former president speaking about you. the tape proves that you did not assert he had never apologized. i asked whether he had ever apologized. >> he told stephen colbert that he believes the me, too movement is long overdue. our full conversation with him and james peterson lasted 22 minutes. it had minor edits for clarity and length.

we have put the entire uncut interview on our website and we encourage to you take a look and listen to it, it's at today.com. moving on, also breaking overnight, new devastation from two volcanoes, guatemala's volcano of fire has erupted once again, setting off new evacuations and new panic there. while in hawaii, lava has claimed hundreds of homes. we've got two reports from the disaster areas. let's get started with nbc's gabe gutierrez, who is in gut maula with us. gabe, good morning to you. >> good morning. roads here remain blocked as authorities fear there could be another eruption. this is the so-called volcano of fire. at least 75 people are dead and 200 are unaccounted for. >> entire towns in guatemala are wiped out, encased in mud, rock and ash. the landscape, apocalyptic, quiet, eerie. >> they're leading us up the side of a mountain, this is one of the neighborhoods that was hit the hardest. >> we mean an 18-year-old

desperately looking for nine of his relatives, including his parents. >> i need my mom, he says, as tears streak the ash on his face. what you can feel standing here is the overpowering heat, some of this ash more than two days after the eruption, is about 500 degrees. what's clear is the sheer power of the so-called volcano of fire. first responders fear yet another eruption after a new explosion tuesday forced them to evacuate, disrupting the frantic search for survivors. this dog was rescued, but this man tells us his wife and two children are gone. the most difficult thing someone can lose is their family, he says. this morning, aid is pouring in to thousands of people in emergency shelters, some with incredible stories of survival. julio lopez saved his 2-year-old daughter. i thought i was going to die, he

says, he managed to hold on to his children, but eight other relatives are still missing. lost in the worst disaster he could ever imagine. the search for survivors resumes this morning, several patients are also being flown to the u.s. to be treated for severe burns. savannah and craig? >> gabe, thank you. >> the volcano crisis in hawaii is only getting worse as well. the slow-moving flood of lava has destroyed hundreds more homes. and now fills an entire scenic bay. nbc's jacob rascon is there with more. what can you tell us? >> craig, good morning, it has been a slow-motion disaster here for weeks now. but everything changed when the giant rivers of molten rock reached a couple of densely populated coastal communities and buried them in lava. it's been the most destructive 24 hours since kilauea roared back to life over a month ago.

rivers of lava devouring hundreds of homes. the two communities wiped out. one of the island's most popular beaches now transformed, filled with molten rock. volcanic fissures spewing lava as high as 250 feet. earthquakes shaking the island in record numbers. jim and jo west felt the full force of kilauea's power over the weekend. >> it was nothing but smoke and lava and trees burning everywhere. and it was rushing across the road. >> and it just like freaked us out. it wasn't supposed to do that. >> jim says he managed to outrun a lava flow that followed his truck down a steep road. >> we were zig-zagging back and through, dodging lava. pretty awesome thing, pretty amazing. the power of it is overwhelming. >> when the lava meets the sea, plumes of toxic steam rise skyward. this is the source of all of

that lava, as active as it's ever been. what they call fissure 8, spewing lava that's covered eight square miles, forcing the evacuation of 2500 people. the impact to islanders like the west family is overwhelming. >> we lost our source of income. well every time i think about it, i have to cry, sorry. but we did, we lost everything. >> now so have hundreds of others, one of the world's most active volcanoes showing no signs of slowing down. >> and they are still counting, there's no official number of the homes lost. but some local reports are calling it the single most destructive day here of any eruption here in modern history. of course no lives were lost, thankfully, but the locals will tell you, sometimes with a lot of emotion that it's much more than property damage. it's even cultural damage this is a bay where a lot of them taught their kids to swim. it's where they went often and it is now disappeared. and then of course there are the thousands of people displaced,

and they are still looking for long-term solutions. live in pahoa, jacob rascon. back to you and craig. election day, voters in eight states went to the polls to cast ballots in key primaries. here's what happened in california. republicans avoided being shut out of the race for governor. republican businessman john cox finished second, setting up a general election showdown between him and democratic lieutenant governor gavin newsom. in other races, senator diane feinstein advances to the general election. in a quest for a sixth term and in iowa, democrats nominated 28-year-old abbey finknaure. turning to president trump's decision to disinvite the philadelphia eagles to the white house. holding a patriotic event instead as stars from other sports start to weigh in on the coroversy. c's chief white house correspondent halle jackson has

the latest. good morning. >> hey, craig, good morning. what the white house describes as the celebration of america, rather than a celebration of a super bowl champs, is now over, but this broader controversy -- certainly is not. the president picked up a political football, reignited a cultural debate and now it seems to be spreading in the sports world. talk of a boycott building, one league to another. basketball stars lebron james and steph curry, fighting each other for the nba title, but not on whether they would visit the white house if they won. >> i know no matter who wins this series, no one wants to invite. >> i agree with bron, the way we handled things last year, kind of stay consistent. >> it's another front in what's become a culture war over players protests and patriotic. with the president pushing his point by turning a planned party for the philadelphia eagles --

into a star-spangled sing-along. he invited fans, while disinviting the team itself to a celebration of the national anthem. even there, a personal protest. with one attendee taking a knee. no mention of the super bowl champs from donald trump as the white house blamed its abrupt about-face on crowd size. saying too many eagles players pulled out too late, calling it a political stunt. that's after the president initially pointed to players protesting police brutality and racial injustice by kneeling or staying in the locker room during the national anthem. something no eagle ever did during the regular season. >> the president doesn't think this is an issue simply of free speech he thinks it's about respecting the men and women of our military, it's about respecting our national an them. >> is the president aware that taking the knee is about police-involved shooting? >> the president has made his position crystal-clear. >> the fallout frustrating some fans -- >> they won the championship, they should be able to go to the

white house. >> and players. like star safety malcolm jenkins. writing online -- the decision was made to lie and paint the picture that these players are anti-america, anti-flag, anti-military. we will continue to fight for impacted citizens and give a voice to those who never had one. phil philly's mayor, more blunt about the president. >> he has a big concern over krout size and the sidze of things, that's him, he's a dysfunctional person and happens to be president. >> the president is focusing now not on sports, but what he has called spy-gate. in a mini tweet storm. including a fox business guest railing against the russia investigation and applauding senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's move to cancel the august recess to keep senators in town. you get some lawmakers will be scrambling to reschedule their late summer plans in a couple of months. let's get our first check of

the weather. >> good morning and thank you for getting your first weather from us. this is carrollton, texas just outside of dallas, hail, strong storms firing up. look at the hail, that's huge and strong storms firing up through texas, making their way through minnesota, we've got a risk of strong storms from wyoming into iowa and parts of minnesota. 5 million people at risk tomorrow. more of the same. we're going to be watching this closely. possibility of tornadoes and heavy rain down through the gulf coast, scattered showers and downpours, more coming tomorrow with dangerous lightning and a flood threat.

lengthy chase. today, june 6, 2018. more from our interview of scot peterson. on tuesday, he shared his moment-by-moment account of what happened that day. today, we pick up the story when he was being forced to resign and later would be accused of being a coward. >> it was surreal. i didn't know what was going on. it was a shock to me. >> reporter: they never said, explain your actions here. we have a few questions. >> no, nothing. i know i didn't violate any policy or procedure. i've been with the agency 32 years. i know the policies. i know the procedures. i communicated right on that scene. i did everything i felt at the time was appropriate. >> reporter: you cannot violate policies and procedures and not get it right. >> exactly right. >> reporter: is that what happened here? >> exactly. like i said, savannah, this will haunt me the rest of my life. it will. you know, those were my kids.

and that's why it hurts the way it does. >> reporter: eight days after the parkland shooting, it would be scot peterson's last day as a police officer, but he didn't know why until this. >> and he never went in. >> the captain was driving me home. and my phone started going off, you know, sheriff israel is basically, you know, ripping you apart. people started to text me. >> what matters is that, when we in law enforcement arrive at an active shooter, we go in and address the target. and that's what should have been done. >> reporter: he said you did nothing when you clearly knew there was a shooter inside. he said, you clearly knew, based on what he had seen. >> not true. it's untrue. >> reporter: joe darusso is peterson's attorney. >> i don't think a crime scene, that big, that many witnesses, that many people injured, that you could have completed a full

investigation within eight days. i don't think it's poszable. >> he waited and didn't want to go in the school. >> reporter: president trump weighed in. did you hear what he said? >> part of it. part of it. and, you know, president trump, the only thing i can think is he went under the false narrative of sheriff scott israel. we live in a fre country, it just hurts. that's the commander in chief, that's the president. it's tough. i have two kids in the military. it's tough. my boys. >> this man standing outside of the school the other day, doesn't love the children. >> reporter: president said, he thought a school resource officer doesn't love the kids. that's what he said. >> he doesn't know. he wasn't there. it's easy to make comments and say things in washington, d.c. you weren't there. you didn't know what i believed and what i assessed and heard on the scene. it's easy for them to make me the punching bag.

>> reporter: this is one of the worst things that's ever happened. one of the worst school shoots. and you're getting blamed for not stopping it. >> if i knew everything, i would have been in there and engaging that shooter. and you know what? hopefully i would have shot him. he might have shot me. i don't know the what ifs. but it just, it's been hard. it's nothing compared to what the families went through. they lost their kids. kids were killed and injured. they lost them. i'm alive. going through what i went through, it's horrifying. as a police officer, if you're a coward, that's the worst label you could have as a police officer. and it's just not true. >> reporter: since the shooting, peterson says he's been leaning on his faith and his family, a fiancee and four grown children. what have your kids said to you? >> they're all adults. they support me.

i mean, i told them everything that happened. you know, they support me. >> reporter: when we first started talking, you said, in a way, you wish you could have an opportunity to talk to the families. in a way this is sort of that opportunity. >> it is. >> reporter: what would you want to say to them? >> i'm sorry. i'm sorry that i didn't -- i'm sorry that i didn't know where he was. or that it was one person. i didn't know who it was or where they were. it's tough. it's tough. and knowing what i know now, it makes it even tougher. i know about active shooters. it's not like i have no knowledge, like what can happen. i just didn't believe, when i first got there, that's what was going on. like i said, that's going to haunt me the rest of my life. >> what's he going to do now? what's the rest of his life going to look like? >> i think he's not sure. he still lives in the area.

he told me, you know, it's hard to be there. he goes out to dinner or something and wonders if people are looking at him and saying, that's him. he will collect his pension, which got a lot of headlines. but it went through the process and the sheriff's office had no reason to deny him his pension. he was a police officer for 31 years in good standing. and so, i think he's going to try to put the pieces together. as he said to me repeatedly, it's something he will carry with him for the rest of his life. i should mention, he also faces a wrongful death lawsuit for his role that day from one of the parents. and the parents, i've seen a few of their comments on twitter. this is painful for them to hear him. and i think a lot of people are having differing reactions to it. >> fascinating conversation, though. thank you. let's take a turn and get a check of the weather from mr. roker. what are we looking at, sir? >> it's rare we get weather video from alaska. this is fairbanks. they have a rare thunderstorm

we're back with an oscar winner in the spotlight. mirra soa sorvino stars in a sh called "condor." she's also one of the women that accused harvey weinstein of misconduct. this is the first interview since weinstein was charged with sex crime charges.

hollywood veteran mira sorvino was a screen staple in the '90s, starring in "quiz show," "roammy and michelle's high school reunion." she won an academy award for that role in 1996. >> when you give me this award, you honor my father, paul sorvino who has taught me everything i know about acting. >> reporter: while she was promoting that miramax film, she says harvey weinstein sexually harassed her. trying to pressure her into a physical relationship during a hotel room encounter. it happened again weeks later at her apartment, sorvino told "the new yorker." both times she managed to avoid his aggressive advances. after that, she says her film roles dried up because she had been blacklisted by harvey weinstein, and iced out of hollywood. including a potential role in the record-breaking trilogy, "lord of the rings." in december, the director peter jackson said that weinstein disparaged the actress. his company saying she was a

nightmare to work with and avoid her at all costs. in a statement provided to nbc news, a spokesperson for weinstein says the producer has nothing but respect for peter jackson, adding that miramax had nothing involved with the casting, whatsoever. sorvino feels vindicated by sheering her story. we must change that culture right now. i will fight so my daughters and sons don't have to endure what i and every generation that came before, has had to. mir mira sorvino, good morning. good to have you here and i'm grateful for your time. >> thank you. >> the good news is, you have a lot of great projects to talk about. you have a new tv show. you're shooting a movie right now. you took a day off to talk to us today. >> i'm shooting for fox. it's hilarious and fun and wonderful. i'm here to talk about "condor"

on the audience network, premiering tonight. things are going well. >> there's lots to talk about. i want to talk about "condor" in a moment. not your fault, but you found yourself the subject of advances by harvey weinstein. the subject of retaliation by harvey weinstein, according to peter jackson and your own experience. and i wonder, how you feel in this moment? he was indicted by a grand jury. he has been perp walked. how does that feel? >> it's a good first step. it's him finally facing real, real criminal consequences for his criminal behavior. for that, i feel jat if i grati. last weekend was an emotional one. just seeing him brings up a lot

of bad feelings. he's raped many people that i love. so, it's not really a happy occasion. i think maybe there will be some celebration when he gets convicted and goes to jail. that's when the process will be complete and we'll see justice being served. until then, this is a great first step. >> there's an array of allegations against him. i think last count, 97 women that made claims against him. this was a secret you held for a long time. it took a lot of courage to speak out. >> at the time it happened, i told everyone i knew. and a lot of people will tell you that. all these people wrote to me online, i remember you telling me about that. quentin tarantino corroborated i told him about it, right away that september. he said it in "the new york times" article. i told everyone i knew.

no one said, hey, this is sexual harassment, you should go to the authorities. you have a case. you should go to the police, maybe it's assault. no one said anything like that. everyone was just kind of comforting about it. i didn't really understand the law. and i didn't -- i didn't think i was important enough to make a big deal over. so, i just kind of tried to put it to the side and keep working and go on about my life. you know, i think a lot of people felt that way. none of us compared notes. i only knew one other person. >> were you shocked when you saw how many people? >> i couldn't believe it. i couldn't believe how many people. if we had known about each other then, there would have been, oh, boy. that's crazy. i'm sorry. >> it's overwhelming when you see it. >> i think we would have found strength in numbers and would have done something a lot sooner. i knew of one other person,

soph sophie dix, who told me her story after mine occurred. i even spoke to somebody at miramax about it. nothing happened and it kind of went away and i tried to go on with my life. >> you did go on with your life. you were a rising star. i was a huge fan of yours. i loved "mighty aphrodite." you won the oscar. and to you, it felt like your career kind of stalled. peter jackson, who, of course, the influential director of the "lord of the rings" trilogy, came out and said it. he had heard from miramax, don't work with mira sorvino. it's so rare to actually have living proof from someone of something that you suspected for so long. what did you think when you read that and how do you feel now? >> i don't even know if i suspected. i knew my career slumped. i thought, maybe it's my fault. i've been pregnant too many times. and sometimes you have bad luck. i was like, okay. maybe it wasn't meant to me that my career was going to continue at the same level it had been.

but that morning to wake up and see peter jackson's tweet that he had blacklisted myself and ashley judd, based on harvey's, you know, telling him not to work with us. and then, the next day saying the same thing about "bad santa," it was like a thunderbolt. it was crazy. it was this malevolent hand that changed the course of my life and my professional horizons? look, i still have worked all these years and i've done great projects. some of them have been lower profile. but i'm proud of all of them. i have the most amazing family in the world. i have four most beautiful, wonderful children and the most incredible husband who is starting his own series for a major cable network. but he's on a new show. everything is going great for us now. we probably wouldn't have met if i had done "lord of the rings." and i wouldn't have had my four, beautiful children. at the end of the day, i am fine

with everything. but to know this was done to me, rather than it just being fate, was kind of world-rocking at the time. right now, i'm really excited to be a part of this movement, of #metoo and #timesup. i'm working on promoting legislation in california, four bills that are among the strongest anti-sexual harassment legislation in the nation. there's a #takethelead. about training workers in every organization that works in the state of california, about defining who can be a sexual harasser. not just your immediate boss but all these other people that you have business relationships. in my business, that would be a director, producer, casting director and investor. a lot of times, investors go with a quid pro quo thing with female and male prospects, saying i'll give you money for your project or your movie and your business, if you play ball with me, if you have a sexual

relationship with me. that's horrendous. but that's the way it's been in this field and every field and in power forever. men have raped and abused and harassed people weaker than them, people in positions subordinate to them. and i'm not just talking women, i'm talking men, women, children, transpeople, forever. rape has been with us forever. if we're at the cusp of this moment, where all of this action, all of this legislation and culture changing where we're working with children and high school students and men to change the idea of what being a strong man is, and how to not do this to people and for women and boys and girls to know their rights, then all of this will have been worth it, in some crazy way. if culture is going to change and less people will be sexually assaulted because of this movement and this outcry among millions across the world, then it was all worth it. >> mira, you have said it so

eloquently. you are a voice in this movement now. i know it's not easy. i appreciate you talking about it. we're kind of out of time. i want to talk about your project. >> yes, "condor." on audience network. >> tell us what it's about. >> three days of the condor, the redford movie but a new it rati itration. it's how people are manipulating world events at an unbelievable deadly scale. and this one man, joe turner, played by max irons, who is jeremy irons' son, an amazing actor, is the man on the run, being hunted. i, and a bunch of other people, feel this group hurd of 11 of his co-workers, i'm going toe-to-toe with william hurt, my ex-lover and former boss. >> it sounds good. >> it's a great, gripping,

incredible thriller, nail-biter, cliff-hanger, no one is safe. every episode is safe. you play lose someone you love. it ee's pertinent to today's wo and all of the cast is uniformly incredible. >> sold. huge, incredible cast. >> really amazing. and you at the top of that list. mira sorvino, thank you for being here and thanks for your candor. thanks for talking about all of it, appreciate it. "condor" tonight, 10:00 eastern time and pacific, on the audience network. we head to al for the weather. >> tropical downpours through gd morning, i'm meteorologist kari hall. we're enjoying sunshine and cooler weather for the area today. with highs reaching into the 70s. we'll see the same thing tomorrow and a touch warmer for

the necklace out of the vault. hack the security system, thank you, 9 ball. and infiltrate the gala, which is considered to be one of the most exclusive -- >> the most exclusive. >> i'm looking around at this group and i'm thinking wow. and i'm also thinking, what took so long? it's 2018, we have -- >> i thought you were asking how long did it take us to get ready? every passing year. >> can you believe it's 2018 and we finally have this? we have an all-woman cast in an action-packed heist. >> ensembles of women just don't sell. you know, it's lazy thinking. >> who thinks they don't sell? >> lazy, stupid people. >> they don't think of that anymore. aren't you proof of it? >> isn't timing so interesting? we see a big shift for women. all of a sudden, poof, during

this time, this movie comes out. >> publicly, the shift did not happen when we started filming this. so, we were -- i don't think we were looking at this like, this is timely. it was like, we'll try it. >> you started shooting before #metoo and #timesup. >> we came out after i think was an atrocious male-dominated reception of "ghostbusters," which was a great women. those women were hilarious. and that film was treated in a way i don't it would be treated now if it was released. >> the reception that "ghostbusters" got, the media glommed that narrative and it took over whether the film had merit. it was men's feelings about it. i don't think that would happen nowadays. i hope not. >> if you could wave a magic wand, would you change other parts of the industry? >> i would change the pressure

of appearance on women. >> i couldn't slide my fat into the dress, as i was getting help zipping it. i was having a 4-year-old meltdown. >> why do you have to be so thin? why do actresses have to be so thin? >> the big elephant in the room is the media. i don't feel pressured by other women. i really don't even feel pressured by male directors that i've worked with or the stories i'm part of. it's the way it's talked about. >> a lot of people think when you get this many powerful, strong, driven accomplished women together that somehow it didn't work. we kind of got a little of that. like, do you two really get along? does it really work? >> the media wanted us to be fighting. they tried to drop bombs. like, no, no, no. >> i noticed when you do a movie like this, it feels so special, it is almost an overt political act. if you look at what the movie is, it's an incredibly fun, funny movie, that's extremely

glamorous, with tons of jokes. it's a great summer movie. >> do we have to steal stuff? >> yes. >> let's talk about the movie. who signed on first? >> i did. >> you're pals with george clooney. >> i play george's sister. >> did he talk to you before and say this is a good thing for you? >> he said, don't do it. don't take my franchise. i said, i'm taking it and i'll run it. the nice thing about george is that, he's just happy when anything works. he wanted the same connection, the same mumme rmemories that we for them, for us, as well. >> we have a list here, too. should we do that one? >> sure. >> who is most likely to be the ring leader? >> wait. you? >> sandy versus kate. >> why are you giving me the death stare? pick me. pick me. >> most likely to break up laughing on the set?

what does it to you? anything? >> air. >> somebody tripping on a line. >> somebody tripping on a foreign line, yeah. >> most likely to flub her lines? >> helena. i'm just kidding. that was a joke. >> nobody. >> most likely to live a life of crime? >> oh. okay. >> will there be another one? >> we have to see if this works. >> i'm really busy. >> yeah. >> so busy. >> i'm renovating my house. >> don't call cate. she'll call you. "ocean's 17." >> you guys, thank you. that was fun. thank you. >> i love you guys so much. >> we love you. >> oh. >> too bad they couldn't find any star power for that movie. >> i know. it was incredible. >> girl power meets girl power. as mindy said, it's a fun movie

and a popcorn movie. i don't know if it was sandra or one of them, who said, you're going to want all our outfits. and it hits theaters on friday. just ahead, would you know how to handle an emergency situation if a loved one or co-worker was having an allergic reaction? or maybe a heart attack? we're going to find out exactly what to

this morning, more of our series "your health." and today, it's "save a life today." emts and paramedics from the new york health department are going to show us how to save a life. if you're in that situation, it's important to stay calm, assess the scene, call 911 immediately and then take action. do not assume others are going to get involved. we have elvis valez here.

how are you? >> good. >> nice to have you. let's come over here. the first thing we want to talk about is cardiac arrest. what are the biggest signs someone is having a heart attack? >> if you see someone collapse or you walk into a room and they're unconscious. you want to tap on their shoulder. hey, are you okay? do you need help? >> like hard? >> just a tap. we are not assaulting them. we want to see if they're moving or breathing. we look at the chest to see if there's a chest rise. if they're not moving or breathing right away, call 911, give us the exact location and tell us the person is not breathing. you want to place the heel to the hand of the chest. >> if you're a matter? >> it doesn't matter. >> we have them on the table but you do cpr on the floor. elbows locked, back straight, lean forward, and you're going

to push down. something to help us, do compressions to the beat of "staying alive." press, press, press. >> you are pressing hard. >> you have to press hard. you may break ribs but you keep pressing. you place him on the side and allow for fluid to drain out. and it makes them hard to breathe. >> i love the "staying alive" trick. everyone knows that song. you want to get the heartbeat. >> showing the ead. you follow the prompts. you know the pads. it shows you where to place it. once you do that, you make the connection. as soon as the orange button flashes, you shock this person. >> let's go over to craig. >> let's tackle another situation here. this is lisset barias. i want to talk about choking. in the movies and in tv, when someone's choking, it's loud,

it's obvious. that's not the case in real life, right? >> no. >> how can you tell if someone is choking? >> a lot of people, when they start choking, there's no airway coming through. the universal sign of choking is having their hand around their neck. they're not going to be able to cough or breathe or anything. you find the person's naval, their belly button. you make a fist on top of that. you make a fist and start doing upward tlhrusts. just like that, you saved his life. you do upward thrusts until the object comes out. >>te s opver so folks can see you. should we be concerned about hurting a choking victim? >> you can't be scared to do this. you have to do it until the object comes out. you'll be scared to hurt them, but no. you can't be scared. >> i saved your life. let's head out to carson.

>> craig, thanks. how about handling an allergic reaction. stanley is a paramedic here in new york city. there's a difference between having a normal reaction or a severe reaction. how can you tell the difference? >> some of the signs and symptoms of a severe reaction, may might have difficulty breathing. you might hear wheezing, or you can see the hives and the rashes on the body. >> let's go through the epipen. they're pretty intimidating. >> you want to respond immediately. you're going to assist in their prescribed epipen. you're going to take off the blue cab. and you're going to point it on the outer portion of the muscle, like so. you're going to press, hear the click and hold the spot for ten seconds to get absorbed in the muscle. >> how quickly until this works. >> you see reaction in that minute. >> a full ten seconds and then, release. >> release.

this is a one-time use. it's better to give it early if you suspect a severe allergic reaction. >> how are you feeling? feeling better? >> much better. >> i want to thank stanley and everybody from the new york city fire department for helping us out. you can go to today.com/health. coming up, giada's recipe for the ultimate father's day feast. hopefully you don't need
