thank you for joining us and make it a terrific tuesday. the "today" show is up next. good morning. back to square one? with cases rising, california announces a major rollback of its reopening shutting down bars, indoor dining, and movie theaters. hanging in the balance nationwide? the fate of millions of students this fall. >> it's not do we reopen or not. you reopen if it is safe to reopen. >> as america faces a new testing crisis. >> i was in line for 5 1/2 hours and they shut it down four cars before i got to the entrance. >> why is it still so hard to get a test?

we'll ask the man in charge of the testing efforts. day in court. ghislaine maxwell faces a federal judge in new york today. inside her push for bail and why prosecutors say that cannot happen. what we're learning about maxwell's attempts to evade police including why she wrapped her cell phone in tinfoil. breaking overnight, still burning. crews continue to battle that massive fire on a ship in san diego nearly two days after it started. this morning what's making it so hard to fight the flames. a mother's sacrifice. as the body of "glee" star naya rivera is discovered, details on her final harrowing act on a california lake. >> she mustered enough energy to get her son back on the boat but not enough to save herself. >> and this touching moment between rivera's family and a group of her costars. extreme heat. record-breaking temperatures scorching the u.s. from coast to

coast. nearly 50 million people impacted. temperatures that feel as hot as 115 degrees. alal's forecasast you needed to before heading out the door. >> all that plus ready to 30 rock. jimmy fallon returns to at any -- "tonight show" after months of working from home. >> i don't know if anyone else feels this way, but any type of normalcy feels great. >> why he is so happy to be back. tuesday, july 14th, 2020. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. hey, everybody. welcome to "today." so happy you're joining us today. just seeing that video of jimmy fallon across the street made me feel so good. doesn't it? >> i know. 30 rock is the place to be.

i'll be with you tomorrow, hoda. by the way, it is going to be a hot one across the country. just check it out. this dome of heat building across a lot of the country. record highs possible in a lot of states. but who can do it better than me? al roker. we'll get to miguel almaguer. >> reporter: the governor of california is not calling for another shut down -- don't affect every county in the state but it impacts about 80 percent of the population. this as the nation's second

largest school strict also shuts down. crippled by covid. this morning as california sees a surge in coronavirus cases, the nation's largest state rolling back its reopening. governor gavin newsom ordering the closure of indoor dining, bars, movie theaters, and zoos across the state. but in the biggest county, g gy, hair salons, malls, and offices -- not critical offices, where many ls work every day, also shut down. the drastic move comes in as california closes in on new york for the record number of coronavirus cases. >> this is a new statewide action effective today. we're moving back into a modification mode of our original stay-at-home order. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci blaming the explosion of new cases in states like california on reopening too quickly. >> we did not shut down entirely. that's the reason we went up. >> reporter: with much of the state shutting down again, the nation's second largest school

district los angeles unified along with san diego unified announcing they, too, will not reopen as scheduled. classes instead shifting to online learning until further notice impacting nearly a million students and their frustrated parents. >> my children are absolutely brokenhearted. they want to go back to school. i think k that safetety measuren be taken. >> reporter: florida taking a different approach. the governor wants children back in the classroom even as the region falls deeper into crisis. the sunshine state with a bloomy outlook topping new york's record for daily covid cases and moving forward with less restrictions. >> you're misleading the public. over 4,000 people have died.

shame on you. >> reporter: this morning a continuing covid crisis as our nation struggles over how to keep businesses open and children in school. >> and miguel, you did mention that san diego and l.a. county school districts are moving to online learning. do we know anything about the rest of the state or what do we know about districts and just things across the country? >> reporter: well, that decision will happen mostly district by district not just here in california but across the country. that will largely depend on whether the virus can be kept under control in those areas. in new york governor andrew cuomo is saying schools can reopen in regions if they keep their low daily infection rates low. hoda? >> all right. miguel almaguer for us in los

angeles. savannah, over to you. >> as cases surge, so has the demand for testing, of course. but the problem is many are t t finding out there are simply not enough resources to keep up. sam brock is in miami beach which is, of course, one of the country's newest hot spots seeing this issue. sam, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. you know, in some parts of the country, there aren't enough tests. here in miami beach, the issue is man power there are cars here from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m after that once they close down, those folks are still lined up a national testing crunch right now coming as cases are exploding. for many people across the country, a recurring testing nightmare. >> i was online for 5 1/2 hours and they shut it down four cars until i got to the entrance. >> reporter: this south florida woman waited 15 days for the results of her exam. >> i think it was more stressful. i mean, thank goodness it was negative

>> reporter: so why such a lengthy lag? >> as we're seeing an increased demand for testing, it is straining the capacity of the laboratories that it is taking additional time in order to get the results. >> reporter: part of the national testing crisis that prompted former trump chief of staff mick mulvaney to break ranks with the president and pen this of sed for cnbc writing in part, i know it isn't popular to talk about in some republican circles, but we have a testing problem in this country that is inexcusable at this point in the pandemic nationally more than 40 million tests have been conducted. florida breaking state records with nearly 143,000 tests on sunday and 112,000 monday. as the percent of those testing positive in the state actually dropped back from 20% to around 13%. miami-dade's mayor says the problems go deeper than testing. >> we can do all the tests in the world you want, get all the contact tracers in the world you want, it's not going to make a difference we have to change our behavior >> reporter: still, infectious disease experts say a shortage of tests is fueling a coronavirus fire >> we are maybe at about 17% in

florida of the level of testing we actually need to do to accomplish getting the virus under control. >> reporter: at the same time, nba players in this orlando bubble receive tests daily whiteside posting this to instagram. my 20th covid test a league spokesperson telling nbc news they're partnered with a private company to ensure that tests in florida are not diverted from the community. another private company told us they have been ramping up their testing capacity to 125,000 tests a day. that is across the country the issue right now, though, is the demand for those tests is exceeding -- i should say the demand is exceeding what they can offer. at this point in time, if you are waiting for test results and you think you might be sick, self-quarantine. savannah >> all right sam brock, thank you we're joined now by admiral brett giroir good morning to you, sir >> good morning. >> we've seen the map. we know cases are on the rise. unfortunately hospitalizations

also on the rise and in many hot spots the fatality rate is going in the wrong direction. you said the other day this is an all hands on deck situation how worrisome is this outbreak right now? >> well, thank you so much for getting to the heart of the matter we are all very concerned about the outbreak i think as you and your viewers know, half the cases are in four states texas, california, florida, arizona. we are in a much different place now than we were several months ago. we have cdc teams in every single state in terms of our hospitalizations, we're at about 63,000 people now. that's much different from the 85,000 people. only about 10% of people with covid are on ventilators we have lots of ventilators, lots of icu beds the mortality rate for any given

age is way lower, but we're still very concerned as hospitalizations go up, we would expect deaths to also go up even though we're turning the corner on the current outbreak and it looks all indications are that we have that, we won't see the benefit in hospitalizations and deaths for at least another couple weeks >> that's interesting. you say we've turned the corner. in your mind, is this virus getting under control? because the situation on the ground seems to tell such a different story. >> so, again, we look at all the data we have nobody's doing a victory lap we are all hands on deck in the field. but the percent of tests that are positive have leveled off or are going down in most of the jurisdictions that we have a problem with and we're seeing e.r. visits go down in most of those jurisdictions. these are the early indicators we are turning the corner. this doesn't mean we've turned the corner i want everybody to understand you've got to physically distance, wear your mask, avoid

bars, close bars in those hot areas, reduce capacity if we keep doing these things, those early indicators will turn for us we are seeing some early light at the end of this tunnel. >> you are the testing coordinator. the good news on testing is we're doing much more of it. 640,000 tests daily on average i know you've mentioned one day had as many as 800,000 on the other hand, bad news. labs still showing shortage of materials. the lag time of people getting results is four to six days, even longer in hot spots at this point why is testing still such an issue? >> so let me break that down for you a little bit about half the tests done in this country which are not reflected in those numbers are done as a point of care or done in a hospital. the point of care that's about a quarter of the testing is a result within 15 minutes hospitals are usually within 8 hours to 24 hours. there is a lag time in commercial laboratories because the demand is so high.

let me tell you what we're doing about thateas where they need a lo number one, we're working with them and they are actively starting to pool samples meaning putting many samples into one sample secondly, we are really leaning into a lot of the areas where they need a lot of testing for example, nursing homes we are going to be working with nursing homes to do much more point of care testing. that will alleviate millions of tests from those commercial labs yeah, go ahead and still the average in the country is three to five days. yeah >> i just wanted to ask because it's great that the hospital testing is faster in the point of care meaning the doctor's office is faster but when the lag time for people who wonder if they have it and they're going out and about their business, doesn't that exacerbate community spread? that's a big problem if you're talking about those kind of lag times. >> so for those commercial labs, we absolutely want to reduce those times. we would like to get that to within 48 hours.

and we are really exerting a lot of effort to do that as i suggested. first of all, take the demand off those labs by doing more point of care. doing counseling to the areas to areas that have the long lines for example, in places like arizona and texas, if you wake up in the morning and feel like you want a test, you might not need to do that. right? we need to think about those who are at high risk situations. there is a demand in those areas. so we are doing almost 700,000 tests a day on average, over 800,000 on certain days. but we still have to be careful in some of those areas to make sure the people who need a test or those who are vulnerable can get it within a short turnaround period >> let me ask you about schools. at the forefront of the minds of a lot of parents, you're a pediatrician the president has encouraged schools to reopen. the education secretary has said that there is no evidence of danger to kids

she's saying that there's nothing in the data that suggests kids being in school is in any way dangerousian. i ran a children's health and she's threatening federal funding for schools that don't reopen in person do you agree with the education secretary? is there no danger >> so look as you said, i'm a pediatrician. i ran a children's health system but more importantly, i'm a twice over grandfather i'm really concerned about these issues

we all know that kids need to be back in school physically for all the reasons we talk about. social, emotional health, eye screenings, abuse. we don't want kids to be behind because they didn't have home schooling. but we have to get the virus under control. if we get it under control better, clearly kids can get back to school safely. there's no such thing as no danger but the risks to children are very small we know that from the data we have here and in other countries. also the data are suggestive now that at least small children have very little chance to spread it among themselves or other people the cdc guidelines are on target they outline the things that schools need to consider we're working with every school district there is a way to get children back to school safely and we all need to be on board to try to do that again as you said, we've got to get the virus under control more in the community that makes

everything much more easy as we approach the school year >> i want to ask you about something in the news. the white house staff has gone negative on dr. fauci who is a colleague of yours on the coronavirus task force even circulating to reporters a list of instances in which dr. fauci has been wrong in the past he's your colleague. does that tactic bother you? >> so look dr. fauci, dr. birx, dr. hahn, dr. redfield we are colleagues. we work together every day none of us are 100% right. that's why we have multiple diverse views there. i have a more general public health perspective in my job dr. fauci works on infectious diseases dr. birx has the whole area. look, none of us are always right. we admit that. i think we have a good relationship the vice president listens to us all. we meet regularly during the task force you know, we're just going to keep our heads down and working together we all need to be working together to solve this problem and we have a great relationship tony and i talk all the time dr. birx and i -- you know, it is a good group. none of us are always right. that's the way things are. we will continue to work together >> well, speaking of good information, the president retweeted to his tens of millions of followers yesterday a message actually from a game show host that said, quote, everyone is lying about the virus including the cdc and our doctors. and went on to say it's really

about the election when you are in the midst of trying to combat a public health crisis like we have on our hands, are messages like that from the president problematic so look, i'm a physician, i'm a scientist. i'm not a twitter analyst. to be quite honest, i don't spend time looking at any of that on twitter, because who knows what it means and how it's interpreted. i'm just going to tell you, savannah, we are trying to be very clear about our message particularly in the hot zones where we have a lot of community spread you've got to close the bars bars are great, but not during place that spreads indoor capacity seating at restaurants, 25% wear the mask. okay these are the things we can do to control the virus we're trying to be very clear. i think there's unanimity of

opinion on that among the docs among the task force we'll continue to promote that it's what the american people need to do to stop the virus >> and in the interest of good information, the cdc and our doctors aren't lying you're not lying >> look, we may occasionally make mistakes based on the information we have, but none of us lie we are completely transparent with the american people in my experience on the task force is the vice president and everyone there has been completely transparent we let the american people know what we know again, as new information comes, that may need to be changed. because we're learning every day. but nobody lies to the american people we're completely transparent and honest that's my job.

that's my job as a public servant. we take that as a sacred oath, to be honest and let the american people know what's going on >> and final thing to that end, the president said last week in an interview that he thinks the coronavirus will just disappear. is that likely to happen >> well, we're very confident that we're going to beat this virus. it -- you know, it's not just going to disappear it's going to disappear because we take active steps to make it disappear. right now our steps are as i outlined to you before about the physical distancing, the masks those kinds of mitigations we are very bullish on our opportunity for vaccines and you've heard all about that. sa. it starts with you the vaccine development program is going extraordinarily well. we are likely to have a safe and effective vaccine at the end of the year at the beginning of the next and our new treatments are coming along we have several treatments that are highly effective and more down the pike. so yes, i am here to work with all my colleagues to make this virus disappear. but it's only going to disappear if we work together, if the american people listen to the mitigation strategies. again, can't emphasize enough

wear the mask, physically distance, avoid crowds combined with all the science, we will beat this virus. i'm confident of it. let's all stay safe. let's all make covid disappear but it starts with you and your personal activities. everybody wants to save a life do those simple things save lives today and we will defeat the virus >> admiral brett giroir, thank you for your work. we appreciate it >> it's great to be here thanks for having me >> and hoda, to you. now let's move onto that oppressive heat wave mr. roker, good morning. >> good morning, hoda. 76 million people are going to feel like it's over 100 degrees. 43 million under heat advisories and warnings into the plains of the gulf coast and the mid-plains excessive heat today it'll feel like 105 in amarillo. 98 in montgomery then tomorrow that expands the up to the north. feels like 95 in cincinnati. shreveport, 108. baltimore will feel like 100 degrees. and as we get into the latter part of the week, we are going to continue with the high heat and the high humidity. we're going to get to your local forecast comoming up in n the nt 30 seconds oh yes..

courthouse from being released on bail. they believe she would try to run for it. today attorneys for ghislaine maxwell will argue the lo good morning >> reporter: hey, savannah good morning ghislaine maxwell is expected to plead not guilty today at this hearing, but she won't physically be here she's going to appear remotely because of coronavirus prosecutors are expected to do everything they can to keep her from being released on bail. they believe she would try to run for it today attorneys for ghislaine maxwell will argue the long-time friend of jeffrey epstein will await trial from home. when the fbi announced themselves, new court documents say, they saw maxwell run to another room quickly shutting

the door after federal agents broke in, they found her cell phone wrapped in tinfoil in what prosecutors describe as a seemingly misguided effort to evade detection by lawrelease h on $5 million bail and be on house enforcement. court documents say agents also found a private security guard on the property, a former member of the british military hired by maxwell's brother who told federal agents that maxwell had not left the property during his time working there >> nothing in that filing today suggests that she's going to be easy to track down if by chance she weren't to show up in court. >> reporter: they are urging to reject requests to release her on $5 million bail and be on house arrest they say jeffrey epstein's -- because of glaring red flags like her wealth and the fact she appears to be skilled at living in hiding. maxwell who is charged with

enticing minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts controls a swiss bank trust with more than $4 million and has accounts with english banks totaling more than $2 million according to court documents she refuses to account any ownership because she is attempting to hide it. maxwell is currently in a federal jail in brooklyn nbc news has learned prison staff are extensively monitoring her making sure she's not in a position to harm herself like epstein who died by suicide last year in federal prison while awaiting sex trafficking charges. >> truly want to keep her under the federal government's control so nothing happens to her. >> reporter: prosecutors are also expected to argue that she not be released because of coronavirus. she hasn't claimed any underlying health conditions and they will point out that defendants who have claimed those kinds of underlying health conditions have had their requests for release rejected by judges we've reached out to maxwell's attorneys, they did not get back to us for comment. >> all right

stephanie gosk, thank you. let's bring in legal analyst lisa green now good morning to you. >> good morning. vi >> let's start with what we learned on monday. this sort of almost cinematic detail of how they were able to capture her. the cell phone wrapped in tinfoil, she runs to another room the prosecution's case for keeping her locked up and denying bail, lisa, what is it >> well, craig, if you were going to produce a youtube video, an instructional video on how to look like someone who you can't count on to appear in court for a hearing, it would be based on the facts we read about in the prosecution's case. it's a strong case based on her behavior prior to arrest and the ability she has to flee. now, her lawyers might argue we'll take the passports away. but someone of this much immense wealth who's already indicated she's not happy about being taken into custody will raise a lot of questions for the judge on how to keep her from fleeing before her court date. >> prosecutors also plan to call one witness as well. how common is that what if anything, can we glean from that?

>> prosecutors are allowed to make the case that one of the reasons maxwell might flee is the coronavirus pandemic as a reason that bail should be granted, there have been reportedly dozens of cases at this particular facility where the strength of the case that's why they're bringing in witnesses to underscore the severity of crimes charged against her. probably not that typical, but then again, not a typical bail hearing. >> this idea that steph alluded to that they might try to use the coronavirus pandemic as a

reason that bail should be granted, there have been reportedly dozens of cases at this particular facility where she's being held any likelihood that that's an argument that holds water? >> you know, i don't think so. as steph alluded to, there are lots of cases that preceded this one where people said don't imprison me, i might catch covid. and the justice system is taking some steps to make those prisons safer. probably not the safest place to be, but i really doubt there's a carve out for her. >> lisa, how much of what we're going to see today and over the next few weeks, how much of this is going to play out in public how much is going to happen behind the scenes in terms of getting ghislaine maxwell to >> confident with that. we do have a cooperate with prosecutors is that something happening now? >> the real currency she has in this system isn't necessarily the cash she has to flee, but it's the information she has that she may or may not decide to share with prosecutors to get a more lenient sentence to cutua dedeal wewe won't heaear about ththat public, , but it wououldn't be surprirising if ththose conversatitions -- assssuming s wiwilling to p play -- arere un. >> d do you thinink she getsts

team to make their change. their sponsors applied the pressure and demanded the change and as you know, this is one of the most storied cases in nfl history in terms of the longevity of this team and its history. the question now is will other teams across all leagues be forced to change their names, logos, and traditions? this morning pressure is building on teams of professional sports leagues to change controversial names and logos. after washington's nfl team finally scrapped its after more than 87 years, the team announced monday it is retiring and replacing the bran nationwide protests and debate over racial equality. for many native americans, that many say is a slur against native americans it's a move team owner dan snyder had long resisted until faced with a new wave of

financial pressure from major corporate sponsors and amid nationwide protests and debate over racial equality for many native americans, it's long overdue >> we've been fighting this for decades and decades. it feels like a moment now where this is a significant turning point. >> reporter: fedex who led the corporate charge to change the moniker released a statement noting it appreciates the decision but as the team now debates a new name, washington starting quarterback dwayne haskins tweeting his opinion as a kid who grew up in the region, i'll always be #hail to the team but looking forward to the future what will be the impact, do you think, on other professional sports teams looking

>> once we see washington make this move, this is the one we thought would be the most difficult hurdle in this conversation now i think it opens it up >> reporter: nbc sports' mike tirico says teams from the nhl to mlb are under scrutiny. the cleveland indians, chicago blackhawks, kansas city chiefs, and atlanta braves are sticking with theirs right now. although they're looking at this celebration that critics calls offensive. >> once it happens in the nfl, it makes everybody pause and look at their spot >> reporter: natalie proctor of the piscataway tribe. >> i think the time is now i think the world is changing. i think our mind-set is changing i think young people in particular are seeing the reasons for doing such a thing >> so tom, now it's time to create a new name. so when do you think that might happen >> reporter: well, the team has indicated it wants to have a new name before a training camp opens up that's only two weeks away now, apparently they have one or two names they like already. that they pretty much settled on but they've got to work through legal issue, trademark issues. so this could be literally down to the last minute before training camp opens. you got to wonder if you have a bunch of guys running around with a helmet and no logo. >> we were googling for a bunch

of names warriors were on there, the renegades. >> reporter: i have one. i like the veterans. what do you think of the veterans >> that's good >> reporter: that way you honor the nation's veterans. just an idea >> that's a good idea. >> tom costello, if that happens, my friend -- >> we're rolling back that tape. >> reporter: going to cash in. >> tom makes a good point about the effects trickling down you've got so many high school teams. the rebels rebels are a popular team name let's turn to the weather. 7:46 mr. roker, how you doing >> i've been hearing some people talking about the washington red tails to be in honor of the tuskegee airmen which would be kind of cool so we would like that. that would be really neat. well, we're continuing to cover the climate now. we are looking right now at the all-time record heat for the month of june. this is the second hottest year to date.

of course northern europe and siberia. june 20th, 426th consecutive month above average. that's 35 years. florida's on track for its hottest year on record the gulf of mexico, the warmest january to june period ever. so the heat continues to build as far as our climate is concerned. you can see we're looking at more showers and thunderstorms now firing up across the plains and into the mid-mississippi river valley from pueblo, colorado, green bay, wisconsin then tomorrow from pueblo all the way to chicago, st. louis, springfield. good morning.

but do they work as well vicky nguyen joins us with more on this. we want the verdict on this. >> we know the deal with masks, right? all these people are resisting the mask mandate because they're not fun to wear. they're hot. they can make it hard to breathe. so are face shields an option for you? we'll finding out where health experts stand. it's a face-off. as covid-19 cases spike, growing calls to keep your face covered. >> face coverings are game changers it's going to be required. >> reporter: in fact, at least 24 states and countless cities and counties have orders in place requiring people to wear face coverings in public but what's right for you a mask or a face shield? >> i would wear a face shield as the preferred face covering in public over a homemade mask,

over a surgical mask >> reporter: this doctor is an infectious disease expert at johns hopkins. why is a face shield effective >> it covers your mouth, nose, and eyes the eyes are a route of infection. we know people who wear masks are touching their faces to adjust them. when you wear a face shield, that is not an issue >> these are definitely a different look and feel than the masks. for starters, it's a lot easier to talk and to breathe while wearing them and i don't have to adjust it once i put it on plus, i can actually even drink while wearing it and a bonus, the facial recognition on my phone works. but after wearing a mask for the past few months, it is a strange sensation to have so much open space underneath my chin and around the side of my face when i wear a mask, you can see it covers my nose, mouth, and chin without any big gaps. the cdc recommends we wear face masks like this because they capture germs and prevent them from spreading to others so which one is better so far no studies have been done to compare the two when it comes to covid-19. but a 2014 study looked at how well face shields blocked flu droplets

they found face shields reduced exposure to droplets by 96%. but smaller droplets were able to float around the shield and be inhaled the world health organization has now acknowledged coronavirus may linger in the air and could be responsible for outbreaks of covid-19 reported in restaurants, nightclubs, work, and places of worship. still, the doctor says he believes face shields are

effective because of the way droplets move in the air the face shield seems to have a lot of openings down by your mouth and chin area. does that reduce their effectiveness? >> you want to make sure the face shields goes down to at least your chin. there's going to be an opening there. but i don't think you're seeing many people getting infected where a droplet goes down and back up. >> reporter: cloth masks prevents you from spreading the virus but he thinks face shields provide two-way protection however, the cdc does not recommend using face shields as a substitute for cloth face coverings. and research shows masks prevent the spread of covid-19 by containing germs back in june with help of a columbia university microbiologist, we showed you how three different masks contained bacteria and droplets from my cough. droplets that could carry coronavirus. nothing grew on the petri dishes when i had my nose and mouth covered. but look at what grew when i didn't whether it's a shield or a mask, public health experts agree covering your nose and mouth

will reduce the spread of covid-19 now, health care workers have worn face shield for years in addition to a mask because they have higher exposure to sick patients you have one i brought for you to try on. you'll feel the difference right away done set it and forget ite a partial solution for walking around outside. if you're inside, i wou you don't need to adjust it. >> i have to admit after i saw your story, can you still heare. me >> yeah. >> i ordered some online but do you think people should rush out i like the idea of you're not touching your face because you can't.

>> and you're not inclined to. you don't have to run out and order these. the cdc says masks is still the gold standard. but if you have breathing issues, this could be a partial solution for walking around outside. if you're inside, i would advise to still wear a mask because of the circulation issues and let's say you're on a plane. i'd wear both. you have the eye protection. you've got the mask. it may seem overkill, but i don't want to get sick >> well, it's comfortable. i wonder because some states have rules like you have to wear masks. does this work if you say i've got this on, am i good >> it depends on the state new york just said these are allowed to be worn in the place of a face mask think about this, a lot of businesses now have signs in the window saying masks are required i would always keep a mask with me >> and if you order this one and you showed me there's like a thin layer of something you got to peel off. it's important it's important to do all right. thank you. all right. let's accepted it over to roker. another look at the weather. hey, al. >> good morning. let's show you what we have. we're talking a lot of heat. i mean, 76 million of us are going to feel like it's over 100 degrees. it is going to be brutal high humidity levels, heat warnings right now heat advisories right now for 43 million people we are looking at excessive heat warnings and possible records throughout texas it'll feel like 107 in del rio 108 in houston today feels like 105 washington, d.c., you will have many -- 20 days in a row feels like 92 in d.c 105 in st. louis as we head into the latter part

thing. you don't want to get bitter you want to get better >> reporter: he's one of countless black artists stretching back decades fighting against injustice and for racial equality >> we see protests not in just obvious places like hip hop and in soul music, but in places like jazz and the blues. ♪ hip hop artists came of age, at least many of them did, listening to artists like nina simone and stevie wonder >> reporter: the created the rap lab. >> one of the most profound voices we're hearing now are not even t the voices s like meek kl it's a actually cocoming from me like ll cool j and people like chuck dee who have been

consistent voices for change for pushing against social inequality >> 1991 listening to nwa, "f" the police being around it. musics from the '60s around civil rights it's always the message. the passion is all around you. this is important to you help me build the bridge to people watching this right now >> i think the bridge is really about legislation. it's about the right representation it's ultimately about winning hearts and minds we know that it's about convincing people that their lives can still be great even if black people get treated well >> reporter: ll cool j is also building bridges by expanding his popular rock the bells brand. >> i decided to create this multimedia platform, this modern platform where you have content, commerce, and experiences. there are important figures in classic hip hop culture that must be remembered

we got to get the narrative and the history right. so this isn't just a commerce place. this is about the story telling. this is about the narrative. this is about the people that really built a culture >> reporter: it's that rich culture and history now propelling today's movement and driving it full speed ahead into tomorrow's revolution. where do you see our country in 2030 ten years from now >> we'll probably be a lot of similar problems but have some legislation that's better. i think that you'll see more blacks in prominent positions and more businesses doing well in that regard but at the same time, there will still be racism. it will not disappear overnight. but i think things will get better >> i'm not being flippant. what do white people need to do who in their hearts want to stand with their black brothers and sisters? >> one is just staying on the right side of history.

two, it's about self-awareness you've got to ask yourself what you're feeling right now you have the empathy and you can relate, then just don't be passive. don't be silent. >> reporter: stand up. >> stand up. say something. >> dude. ll brought truth this morning. >> that was the piece i really wanted to do not just on ll he's such a great ambassador of it he's the og, as we say, of it. but just for black music, going back to civil rights the messaging has always been there. >> we've had him on this show dozens of times. i've never seen him like that. >> he's fired up rightfully so. >> someone said something last week, i forget which artist. they made a good point you can't appreciate our music, can't appreciate our culture and not be part of the fight for equal justice. >> that's right. and that's he's saying at the end there. stand up >> great interview >> thank you, ll >> yeah. great conversation, carson thank you. and coming up next, we're going to have a conversation with "snl" head writer colin jost to chat about the show and he's got a new memoir. it's got a good title. we'll tell you about it but these e are real p people,

it's been so many years of working on it and getting it together and it's now finally on sale that's cool. what a crazy, weird moment >> i know, but i don't want to harp on it, but it's just such a funny title. have people told you that your face is punchable? and, like, how do you receive that >> i've already gotten photos from friends of them punching the front of the book. i've been told by different people from different areas of my life, and, you know, it's certainly not -- i'm not encouraging anyone to get in there and punch me but i feel there's been sentiments like that, yeah and it's happened on our show. i've been hit on our show. people seem to enjoy when i'm physically injured or emotionally injured. yeah it's good. >> well, yeah.

i mean, actually the blurbs of your book where amy schumer says i was caught off guard by how much i enjoyed this book considering how indifferent i feel about colin as a person and conan o'brien says an inspiring story that reminds us if you're born with looks and talent, you can still make it. why did you want to write a memoir you're only 38 uh-oh. did i lose you again oh, my goodness. let's see. hoda and carson and craig, we lost colin >> his face is so punchable when he's frozen. >> i don't think we lost him i think it was the question. >> oh, he's back >> hi. >> oh, he's back >> this is like the fallon sketch last night. >> it really is. and may i suggest you get some wireless with the proceeds of your book.

maybe a faster signal. >> no way. it's a scam. don't believe it >> no. colin, you don't talk about your fiance, the beautiful scarlett johansson. but you said something in the book you met her back like ten years ago, 14 years ago. i remember her being sweet smart and sophisticated and she had a smile i'd never seen in any other human. imagine i came from the future and went to 2006 and said you were going to get to marry her what would you have said >> i would say that's the craziest reason to come back from the future is just to meet me and tell me that. if you have that technology, why are you using it for that? >> well, i also came to punch you in the face, colin i forgot to mention that >> okay.

fair then i would honestly then -- knowing that information, i would accept the punch >> well, congratulations on the memoir it's getting great reviews real great reviews it's funny it's called "a very punchable face." it's available today he's going to do a virtual book tour in several cities which will help support local bookstores find out more on today.com/shop. all right, colin off to the verizon tech. thank you. we're back after your local news >> he's frozen again good morning to you. 8:56. i'm marcus washington. well, a confusing past few days for south bay hair salons as well as gyms. sunday night, most of those businesses were getting ready to finally reopen after four months of closures. and yesterday, many reopened when those same businesses learned less than 24 hours after reopening they'd have to close again at midnight tonight due to
