welcome to "today" and so nice to have you here this is friday and i am ready to talk about summer. >> yes, and time to pack the bags and where to go. >> we have the best beaches in the country to tell you about. let's start with the president overseas meeting with th leaders in japan including the president of ukraine, we just learned, as part of his ongoing effort to shore up his support. another big issue, the debt crisis at home with less than two weeks to avoid an economic crisis, there is no deal, but lawmakers on both sides are pointing to signs of progress. for the latest we go to peter alexander who is in hiroshima following it all traveling with the president this morning peter, good morning to you >> reporter: savannah, good morning. as for president zelenskyy, the white house officials say it is extremely important at this point in the war that the

leaders hear from the ukrainian leader about the situation on the ground there and what specifically he needs going forward. zelenskyy is certain to make the case that his nation's survival is dependent on the flow of money and weapons from the u.s. and its allies at the g7 summit, preparations for a possible surprise with the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy expected to attend in person this weekend according to a top ukrainian official it would be a daring trip as he tries to get continued sport from the world's most powerful democracies and would be the first face-to-face meeting for biden and zelenskyy since their secret visit in kyiv in february and it comes as the leaders here unveiled a new round of sanctions against russia while vowing to step up enforcement of existing penalties all designed to further isolate vladimir putin with putin threatening to use nuclear weapons in ukraine here

in hiroshima president biden's and u.s. allies visited the peace park, an american atomic bomb leveled this city during world war ii the summit, a show of resolve against new obstacles to peace and an effort to counter an increasingly assertive china what should the consequence be >> one, protect ourself, two, invest in ourselves, three, be straight and honest. the days you don't get to cheat and we don't care come to an end. >> reporter: president biden receiving updates on the debt ceiling negotiations at home with the u.s. now less than two weeks away from running out of money to pay its bills triggering what experts warned would be a catastrophic default. aides telling the president steady progress is being made you about still no bipartisan deal >> we're not there we haven't agreed to anything yet, but i see the path that we could come to an agreement. >> reporter: one key sticking point remains whether it would

include stricter work requirements for public assistance programs like food stamps and medicaid, a move some democrats oppose >> i would vote no >> reporter: the white house says president biden left his diplomatic dinner here early expecting to get another update on those debt ceiling negotiations during president zelenskyy's expected visit here this weekend, the ukrainian leader is likely to push g7 leaders for f-16 fighter jets to combat russian forces president biden is facing growing pressure from members of congress and from allies to provide those planes but so far he has decided against it, savannah, amid concerns that f-16s could further escalate the war. back to you. >> peter alexander, thank you. we should mention he will have the latest on the summit and those budget talks going down to the live and live from japan on saturday "today" tomorrow.

a new court appearance for the national guardsman that is alleged of leaking documents new court filings confirm this first published by "the washington post" showing the 21-year-old using racial slurs before he fired that rifle. nbc justice correspondent ken delainian, what can we expect from this hearing today? >> reporter: that awful video underscores the argument that he is too dangerous and unstable to release on bale. setting him free would pose a risk to u.s. national security because they say foreign adversaries would be salivating at the prospect of helping him escape and say he can't be trusted because he has a history of hiding what they call his unsavory character including racist and extremist views his lawyers are asking he be released to his father's house with no access to weapons and the internet and cite past cases of national security leakers who have been let out on bail.

the judge said he will make a decision today, hoda. >> in addition, ken, prosecutors revealing some new information regarding how teixeira handled that classified information. what are we learning there >> reporter: this is a big deal. in arguing to keep him in jail the justice department released a stunning series of memos showing teixeira had been written up at the air base for acting suspiciously with classified material on three different occasions over the last year and yet his access was not taken away the pentagon has suspended two of his commanders and ordered the entire unit to stop performing its intelligence mission but what they appear to show the air force had many chances to prevent this damaging leak, guys. >> all right, ken for us in d.c., thank you. to the scene o 15 workers were here at this five-alarm fire, towering flames and that cloud of thick, black

smoke could be seen from several miles away more than a dozen construction workers were cornered and had to be rescued two still unaccounted for this morning and the exact cause of the fire still being investigated. let's move to dramatic new video released by police from monday's deadly mass shooting in farmington, new mexico it shows both the chaos that unfolded as well as the bravery displayed by officers and members of the community nbc's erin mclaughlin has that story. hey, erin, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in the nearly seven minutes of footage released to the public we see four different clips of how it unfolded, chaos caught on camera as police continue to investigate, they are praising the actions of their officers and calling the shooting an assault on their close-knit community. we have to warn you what you're about to see is disturbing >> reporter: this morning the

chilling video of the monday morning mass shooting that left three dead. the farmington police department releasing body camera footage. >> i'm being tol he has an automatic weapon. >> reporter: in the shooter's own neighborhood gunshots are ringing out as he is firing at random piercing homes and cars. >> there were so many shots that it left the impression with some citizens that there were multiple shooters. >> reporter: officers are seen running towards the danger, and this is a sobering perspective of the moment that a sergeant was shot and captured by her own body cam, her colleagues coming to her aid. >> subject is down >> reporter: also caught on camera, an officer firing on 18-year-old bowe wilson, who was killed by police. >> the subject is down he is secured. >> reporter: police say he was initially wearing bulletproof vest modified with steel plates. removing it before a standoff. >> he is yelling on the ring

footage, come kill me. it's my belief ultimately in his head he has made a decision that he's going to stand and fight it out until he's killed. >> reporter: 97-year-old gwendolyn schofield and her daughter melody died trying to save 79-year-old shirley voita who was also killed. the shooting took place the day before his high school graduation wilson was armed with three different guns and with access to around 1400 rounds of ammunition firing an ar-15 assault rifle from his home. as of yet there's no clear motive their only clue, this note found on the shooter's body reading in part, i'm at the end of the chapter. his family sending their condolences in a statement writing, wilson was fighting a battle of mental illness that he lost another tight-knit community left to make sense of a senseless tragedy. all of the injured have now been released from the hospital as the investigation continues. police say without the community

effort to take down the shooter, this could have been so much worse. hoda. >> all right, erin mclaughlin for us in l.a. thank you. in washington there are growing concerns this morning about the health of 89-year-old california senator dianne feinstein. she is the oldest member of the senate she returned to washington just last week following a three-month absence. she was recovering from shingles and garrett haake has more on these new developments garrett, good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning. democrats were thrilled to welcome senator feinstein back, but that return now has turned rocky and her office is revealing that her illness was far worse than previously known. new details about senator dianne feinstein's recovery from shingles. her office sharing the 89-year-old was dealing with a number of previously undisclosed complications including a form of facial paralysis called ramsey-hunt syndrome and encephalitis, swelling of the brain. while that resolved itself

shortly after she was released from the hospital she continues to have complications from ramsey-hunt syndrome feinstein returned to the senate last week after missing 91 votes in a three-month span. as she recovers feinstein has been escorted in congress by one of former speaker nancy pelosi's daughters, whom a spokesperson says is an old friend. many prominent democrats have been supporting feinstein and they need her vote, especially on the closely divided judiciary committee where she helped three stalled biden nominees though some democratic house members have called for her resignation, her senate colleagues in both parties have defended her decision to finish her current term her sixth and retire next year >> she should be accorded respect and dignity. >> right now, she is performing as a united states senator doing her job. >> reporter: but feinstein has struggled with elements of the job and missing four votes since

the return and appearing to forget her own prolonged absence in a rare exchange with reporters this week. i haven't been gone, you've been working, she told an "l.a. times" reporter, i have been here. she has been participating in the key judiciary committee where on thursday she sounded like her old self. >> i was mayor of san francisco for nine years there was no program more favorable with people than police on the streets. >> reporter: with a debt ceiling vote likely soong in which every senator's vote could prove crucial, democrats hope feinstein remains healthy enough to stay in washington. now, some of feinstein's supporters say the concerns about her fitness and the calls for her resignation are just blatantly sexist strom thurmond retired at 100 and mitch mcconnell spent five weeks at home recovering from a concussion chuck grassley is just three

months feinstein's junior, all of them, of course, are men. >> thank you very much. lots more to get to and talk about the housing market new signs it's slowing dong. >> indeed the sales of existing homes fell again in april, down 23% from discuss a year ago. the median home price slipping too, just under $389,000 that's the biggest dloin in more than a decade. >> here to make sense nbc's business reporter brian cheung hi, brian. so, i mean, we see the home prices down. is this a good news or bad news story? i guess it depends who you are. >> if you're a seller it's probably bad news because you're s settling the lower prices of course, the reason for the home market slowdown is because of high mortgage rate, right, so people are paying more than double what they were two years ago in terms of interest rates just to get into the market so you're seeing fewer buyers and not as many bidding wars and even some places prices are going down but want to caveat

that by saying it's depending where you are and northeast and also in the midwest, are seeing prices continue to go up. >> the mortgage rates you're talking about. i know you have a crystal ball in your pocket there so tell us about this, the 30-year fixed rate 6.4%. what are we expecting will happen with that >> it is telling me those rates are going to stay elevated whether or not they go higher or lower, that's a little tough to say. the overall story the reason for why they're high the federal reserve's interest rate hikes and not sure if they're done with that yet so if they continue to keep interest rates high even if they don't continue to hike them or cut them, it means mortgage costs are likely not going to be anywhere close to 3% we saw two years ago any time in the near future. >> i was going to say keep the crystal ball out for a second. whether they'll ever go back to as low we saw around the pandemic i mean, it was almost free money for a long final with interest rates. >> so for the federal reserve, they have short-term interest

rates above 5% and when mortgage rates were -- again, they're not tied one to one but when rates were near 3% the fed had to cut interest rates and short-term level all the way to zero. it would be a pretty dramatic situation to see them fall back to that level. now, of course, could a precarious position for the economy push the fed into lowering some of those rates that could make rates tilt down, possible but it's difficult to say for right now. >> brian, thank you. all right, time to say good morning to our pal dylan and get a check of the weather. >> you're looking nice and springy. temperatures are on the upswing and we have springtime thunderstorms. today it's mostly back through texas into oklahoma into arkansas too large hail, damaging winds, those are our biggest threats. low tornado threat but can't rule it out. a couple systems, this coastal storm that brought rain to south carolina that will continue to move through the carolinas today. we also have this cold front the trigger for the storms through oklahoma, texas and arkansas now this is going to move

eastward bringing rain and thunderstorms through ohio, through western pennsylvania as we get into the weekend. but we're first going to start off with some rain in the northeast on saturday. it starts in the morning then probably exits by midafternoon most of that heavier rain will fall across long island and southern new england then this cold front is going to move eastward. that will bring a line of thunderstorms through the mid-atlantic, through the northeast and then it's all going to clear out in time for sunday sunday the sunshine returns across the northeast, temperatures rebound into the mid to upper 70s it is going to end up being a nice weekend just saturday we could end up with several inches of rain especially if you go up into new england, down east main could end up with one to two inches. rain. we will get to your local forecast in 30 seconds. bad boy matt g., i can't ignore m my heart. bad boy matt g., ( ♪♪ ) señor snufuffles... my bad boyoy s are ovover. i just n d a good b .

learned florida governor ron desantis is preparing to formally announce he's running for president next week. that's according to two sources close to his political operation. dooern, who has already been making trips to critical early votes states like iowa and new hampshire is expected to quickly become a top challenger for the gop front runner, former president trump. it all comes as desantis is facing new questions over his escalating feud with disney. >> we will fight the woke in the legislature. we will fight the woke in corporate america. we will never, ever surrender to the woke mob. >> reporter: the entertainment giant now scrapping plans to build a $1 billion office complex in florida and relocate 2,000 jobs from california in a letter to employees, a disney executive writing, this was not an easy decision to make, but i believe it is the right one, citing changing business conditions.

desantis' press secretary firing back, given the company's financial straights, falling market cap and declining stock price, it is unsurprisin they would restructure their business plans and cancel unsuccessful ventures. they are the latest grenades i the war of words between desantis and disney, which is also suing florida for stripping its special self-governing statu after the company opposed the don't say gay law that critics call it. disney's ceo bob iger responding last week before the office complex decision was announced >> does the state want us to invest more, employ more people and pay more taxes or not? >> reporter: not just because disney is florida's largest single site employer, but also because desantis married his wife at walt disney world in 2009. >> who would have thought that when we're leaving disney world as newlyweds that, you know, a

decade and a half later, you know, we'd be staring them down over a fundamental fight about, you know, what is appropriate for our kids >> well, of course, desantis, if he gets in the race, as the reports are, will have to face president trump, former president trump. how is that going? we see already ads on the air, pro-trump ads against ron desantis >> that's right. it will be very interesting an for his part so far, the governor has declined to engage with trump directly. he left that up to his pro-desantis super pac but according to a phone cal yesterday with top donors, desantis took his most direct attacks at trump so far and said he could not get elected in swing states he quoted one voter who said that the voters supported trump's policies but not his values that's according to "the new york times" who listened in to the call nbc news did not listen to the call and has not heard back from desantis' team, but this all comes as he's preparing to get into the race next week.

this is significant because he does face an uphill battle, of course he's done some 30 points more than 30 points in national polls, but his team is focused on the electability argument and thinks that in certain states that the polls will tighten, and that's something to watch out for. again, he's expected to get into the race next week. >> it's so early thank you very much. >> thank you, gabe. still ahead, we have good news when it comes to food prices plus, smart shopping strategies that will save you more money. and sam brock is getting us excited for summer vacation, checking out the best beaches in the country. good morning >> reporter: sheinelle, guys, good morning if you are from maine or michigan or new york or illinois or minnesota, odds are you have been planning a trip to a beach for a long time now. we're going to talk to the guy who has made this an exact science and discuss things like this, quartz crystal sand. they say this is as fine as sugar. no other sand like this in the world. where am i thatat story comoming up rigighr ththe break.

can. and then numbers, if you can maximize how many people you go with and stay, accommodations that has scaling in that regard, maybe it is a house or a property that has room for several families another good way to save money that route, too. guys, a lot of folks probably wondering, why isn't my favorite beach on this list odds are it likely was, but the number one beach on this list retired for the following years. so in the last seven years, there have been four hawaiian beaches that have been taken off the list, but they are still on his website. and i would add, how do you not trust someone who has been to 650 beaches? you have my credibility. >> okay. so saint george island, florida. i have been to florida many times. i have never heard of that one where is it, and how do you get there? >> reporter: this is 90 minutes from tallahassee so you go to the airport it's a straight drive really along the gulf of mexico it is a barrier island you are isolated

when the news broke overnight that president zelenskyy is expected to attend the g7 summit here this weekend in person, it was welcome as a crucial opportunity during a key point in the war for ukraine's leader to speak directly to the u.s. and to its allies about the situation on the ground there and what more in the form of arms and aid he needs. zelenskyy's trip sets up what would be the first face-to-fac meeting with president biden since his secret visit to kyiv in february. the news comes a the leaders here announced a new round of sanctions against russia, all designed to further isolate vladimir putin today president biden and his counterparts laid wreathes at the hiroshima memorial peace park where the first atomic bomb was dropped by the u.s. during world war ii and the president later left his diplomatic dinner early, expecting to get another update on those debt ceiling negotiations back at home. the u.s. is less than two weeks away from running out of money to pay its bills, triggering what experts warn would be a

catastrophic default savannah, aides told the president that steady progress is being made. >> all right let's hope so. peter, you will have more for us tomorrow on saturday "today. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. our first foreign assignment kristin welker and i will tour the city, a chance to see its recovery and resilience after the war and even a taste of here seema's celebrated soul food what they call -- [ speaking non-english ] that is all tomorrow right here on saturday ""today. back to you. >> i'm glad you guys got to have a little fun back at home now, at least one person was killed during a workplace shooting in ohio last night officials say a gunman walked into a diesel engine plant outside dayton. he fatally shot one victim and then apparently wounded himself. he was taken to the hospital along with another person that was hurt police believe it was a targeted attack the plant is a subsidiary of general motors. there was a security scare

last night in vatican city where a speeding car rushed passed the main gate and into a palace courtyard. officials say a member of the vatican security force fired one shot at the car's front tires. the driver, who was said to have severe psychiatric issues, ran from the car but was quickly taken into custody it is not clear if pope francis was anywhere near the incident. or if anyone was hurt. inflation remains stubborn with prices 5% higher than they were a year ago. but they are coming down, and there may be some relief in sight for consumers that have been stretching their grocery budgets. nbc's business reporte brian cheung is here to explain. even as we saw inflation start to cool at the grocery store, the prices were so stubborn. finally we're seeing some relief. >> yeah. i have some good news. egg prices are going down. $3.27 is now the cost for a dozen grade a brown eggs it was almost $5 at the beginning of this year

a lot of people going shopping at the holiday time getting real sticker shock. so to see prices coming down is certainly good news. a lot of that is due to bird flu. it's just the pipeline of egg laying out there there was a big, nasty bout of that flu at the end of last year that led to a lot of wiping outg of those birds but now with more of them coming back, egg prices going up. >> egg prices going down, that's good news. what about other items at the grocery store? >> we have seen other categories go down as well. we're seeing encouraging signs on things like bacon, for example. things like produce. a lot of vegetables going down as well. it seems like although prices are still high, if you compare year over year, it will still be a large difference you are starting to see price declining. >> if you are feeling the pinch, how can you find a deal? >> couponing is one way. but another good way to look at deals at the grocery store specifically for package

goods are potentially looking at, for example, private label brands so the store that might offer their own alternatives to the name brands will also take a look at cash back apps and loyalty programs which will help out a lot. >> thank you, brian. let's go now to the nba playoffs the denver nuggets taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the western conference final after a big win over the lakers. >> 8 points here finds jokic. back to murray shot clock winding down. puts up the three. bang jamal murray looks again from downtown >> there you go. jamal murray led the way for denver, 37 points. the nuggets go on to win it 108-103. get ready for game three it is tomorrow night all right. >> okay. let's get just ahead our first look at the epic new movie that unites leonardo dicaprio and robert de miro and martin scorsese first kaylee hartung is taking us inside a family debate

as rising costs and soaring debt mean more young adults are living with parents, whether they'd like to or not. a 2020 pew research study found more than half of adults 18 to 29 lived with a parent that was up from 31% in the 1970s. that number grew when more young adults moved home during the pandemic, and one survey found that for many, it wasn't temporary, with 67% of pandemic boomerang kids still living with mom and dad. >> i think there is often a step back in maturity and in development when they move back home because we naturally slip back into the roles of parents for us and children for them >> reporter: kylie's parents say they tried to encourage their daughter's independence while she was living under their roof. >> in the beginning, she had a hard time transitionin from a teenager living in her parents' home and going to high school into you're now an adult and basically a tenant >> reporter: some parents even saving their children's rent money to give back to them when they finally move out.

one tiktoker suggesting they could put the nest egg toward a down payment on their own home jeffrey studies the early years of adulthood and he put his research into practice when his own college-aged twins moved home during the pandemic. he and his wife found ways other than charging rent to send their kids a message it is time to start carrying your own weight. >> we said, okay, you are adults you're home now. you're perfectly capable of doing the grocery shopping, doing the laundry, helping make meals. all the things that adults have to do on a daily basis. >> reporter: and urges parents to remember, it's only temporary. >> there is going to come a time when they move out and they don't come back, and believe it or not, you will miss them >> yeah. kylie says she had a monthly budget that helped her save even more money while she was paying that $200 rent to her parents. now, guys, she is temporarily living with an aunt and uncle. she transitioned there where she is baby-sitting in lieu of

paying rent. in the next couple of months she hopes to get her own place >> what do you think >> okay. full disclosure. i lived with my parents for a couple of months right around the time i turned 30 rent free quality time was the goal. >> they knew it was a couple of months. >> yeah. it was a basketball season while i was traveling all of the time working games so i wasn't there all that much but for me the gift really was the time i got to spend with my parents. >> i think it makes sense. it just shows respect. it's chipping in it's one thing i wouldn't thin parents shouldn't try to make a profit but, hey, you are an adult now you have a job chip in. >> i agree >> i can help make this transition easier for you. but you show us the respect. it is like training wheels for being an adult. >> this family, their goal was not to pocket the money. it was all about being a stepping stone >> i learned fiscal responsibility i was 19 i was in between i was going to junior college. if you're going to live at home, you got to chip in a couple hundred bucks to be in the guest house.

it makes you think about, well, i can't go to the movies every single weekend. i have to put that upon aside to give my parents. >> also financially some families need help let's all pitch in here. >> parents preach all the time, nothing is free. nothing in the world nothing is free. then you can't go back. >> you're saying it is free. >> right, right. >> that's a good story >> thank you. all right. let's go outside and see dylan. hey, dylan >> good morning, guys. we are always celebrating something on the plaza i found this couple here you can't miss them. great choice in color. what are you celebrating today >> my birthday, his birthday, and we got married 50 years ago today. >> so your both birthdays are today and 50 years congratulations. any secret to a long, happy marriage >> no, we just -- >> just say, yes, dear. >> and agree with whatever she tells you to wear, right >> yes. >> exactly. >> happy birthday. happy anniversary. happy everything. >> thank you so much. >> we love celebrating out here on the plaza let's take a look at what's going on across the country. right now we have heavier downpours falling across

welcome back may is mental health awareness month. for our "mind matters" series, carson, you are sharing a new campaign aimed at kids that might be struggling. >> yeah. as you know, i struggled with generalized anxiety disorder for a while now, in fact, since i was a kid. anxiety affects 30% of kids and teens, yet, 80% never get any kind of health so when the child mind institute asked if i would be part of their you got this campaign, where teens interview someone in the public eye, that's how i met a young man named wyatt, who is a rock star right here in new york take a look. >> to wyatt. first of all, it is great to

meet you. >> great to meet you, carson. >> i feel like i'm in a time portal looking at me at your age. hit me with some questions >> how old were you when you first experienced anxiety? >> only later in my life was i able to look back when i was a teenager and go, oh, my gosh, that was all anxiety oh, that time when i was feeling really scared and felt like i was on edge. oh, that's what that was when we were growing up, my generation, we didn't talk about mental health. only now through these conversations are we starting to treat our mental health like we treat our physical health. like no big deal everybody has mental health struggles. >> i think it is really important we're doing that >> reporter: 16-year-old wyatt is like many teenagers his age he loves playing basketball and soccer and like many teens, he struggles with anxiety, but is speaking up in hopes of helping kids who suffer in silence wyatt is one of a handful of teenagers interviewing famous people about their mental health struggles to help destigmatize mental illness. i didn't know anxiety was categorical thing. >> i'm not a psycho. here i am. >> when i was younger, that was

it if you had something going on up here, you were just crazy, so we have come a long, long way. but we still have a lot of work to do. >> we have all the stigma around it getting less and less and less. >> reporter: wyatt is a part of the child mind institute "you got this" campaign when did you realize you were a little anxious >> when i was 12 it is this feeling, you know, in your head that you can't kind of, you know, be yourself because you are just nonstop having this in the back of your head just bugging you and bugging you. >> reporter: he says his anxiety began about something benign he posted on youtube but later grew into repeated paranoid feelings about technology he was diagnosed with anxiety and obsessive/compulsive disorder. >> my phone, which is right here, i didn't have it for a year because i was worried i was being listened in on and spied on i have come really far now here i am. there is four cameras. my phone is right here. >> reporter: and you don't have that same worry.

>> no, i'm able to have my phone around with me >> and therapy helped you get through that >> yes >> i have always had catastrophic thinking, negative thoughts on negative thoughts i've struggled with general anxiety and panic attacks most of my life. therapy has made all the difference that's why talking about this and, like, ultimately for me going to therapy, working on certain tools to help me it is my superpower now. so it is not going to hold me back >> you're saving other people with your superpower >> i don't want to have a panic ago but i'm, like, i'm going to be okay. i know i will be okay. >> i think i can kind of relate to that. at soccer games i feel, not a panic attack, but i feel like in my chest i will throw up and it is a little hard to breathe. >> reporter: is it better once you get into the game? >> yeah. i'm sure kevin probably has that, too. >> reporter: wyatt also interviewed miami heat's kevin love for the campaign. >> hopefully we can help a lot of people. >> yeah, definitely, it's an honor. >> reporter: kevin has been public about his own panic attacks.

he's one of the reasons i opened up about mine on "today. >> general anxiety disorder. i'm thinking here is kevin love, badass, successful, operating at a high-level it made me feel so good about, wow, i'm not alone and i still perform. and i perform at a high level. >> dropped 30 points -- >> i'm dropping a 50 biscuit on him. you know what i'm saying, wyatt? oh, my god what a hustler when i talk about mental health, i talk to young people, i was, like, man, i was you, bro. i know what it is like you are not alone. that's the message we're all in this together. >> wow that means a lot >> i love talking about it too. >> it is great to hear from someone at such a high power right to me that rhyme going to be okay i just want to be open that i do have anxiety and ocd. >> reporter: that's so cool to hear because people will hear that and go, it's okay that i got it you good this. that's the message that's what i wanted to hear when i struggled the most. was i going to be okay >> am i normal >> reporter: am i normal

and the answer is yes. >> you are you're okay. and you got this. wow, carson. >> i mean, it was so great to meet wyatt you meet young men like that or young people like that and it makes you feel good about the future, especially when it comes to the conversation of mental health you can already see how confident he is. he's such a great ambassador for mental health awareness. >> i liked how when you said i know some panic is coming, but i know i will be okay. now you recognize it >> leap of faith. >> just the look of him looking at you was like you felt it, like, this kid is going to be good. >> thank you for letting us sit in on that conversation. >> we hear from parents all the time because of the "today" show, the biggest question for teens, what is a red flag and what is normal behavior? we talk about that there is a full eight-minute video at today.com if you want to watch more of that conversation that place called the flower shop where we were thanks for letting us hang out there. shout-out to you, wyatt. you're the man his parents were there, and they were lovely too. if you're struggling

hang in there. >> i think a lot of people do ask themselves, okay, am i just nervous? everyone gets nervous before a game when do you know it's more >> on instagram as teenagers, everybody's life is just perfect. you're doing just fine as you are >> you are you got this. coming up next, guys, dr. azar is here

i don't know what new york is going through you might be under new management i'm not really sure. but i know this is not the same pollen from the last 35 years of my life. run that old pollen back because there is no reason i should be allergic to the month of may. >> go, girl. that's samantha on tiktok. she hit the nail on the head this might be the most beautiful time of the year, but it could be miserable for the country's more than 80 million allergy sufferers. >> a number th is apparently

growing because allergies are getting worse and more people have them. since the '70s rising temperatures have led to longer allergy seasons this year alone, spring arrived up to three weeks early in the south, more than a month ahead of schedule in the mid-atlanti and northeast. achoo. >> here with more to find out how to find some relief, nbc medical contributor dr. natalie azar okay, so, dr. azar, it is bad. is it really like our tiktok friend said, worse than it's ever been before >> yes i know we like to blame climate change for so many things bu we are blaming climate change. also warmer temperatures mean that the ground is thawing sooner things are blooming sooner than normal we also have all this carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. that is a man-made component of climate change that is resulting in, number one, we're starting allergy season 20 days earlier and ending ten days later. that adds a month to our

suffering, and pollen counts are 20% higher than they were in 1990 that's one generation. one generation. >> so it's longer. >> and it's worse. >> okay. >> that sums it up, natalie. >> have a good day [ laughter ] >> how do you know because sometimes it feels like a cold how do you know if i have allergies or do i have a cold especially if some people that never had allergies are getting allergies suddenly >> yes people can develop allergies at any time i thought it would be useful to put it as a venn diagram and in the middle of the diagram you can see the symptoms that are common to both allergies and colds. we have a stuffy nose, a cough and a sore throat. if you remember one thing from this segment, itchiness in the eyes and nose and throat is allergy. colds are caused by viruses. fever and achiness it is the itchiness that distinguishes the two. >> dr. natalie, quickly, when is this going to be over? >> remember, we have trees, grass and then weeds so we have allergy season that's going from like february into october and november

but some tips that you guys i think are really useful. we could throw a couple of these up for our viewers check your air quality before you go outside to know what your pollen counts are. keep the windows and doors closed we like to open that up in the spring avoid activity in the morning. that's when it's worse take off your clothes and shower when you come inside and hepa filters can be really helpful. >> thank you, dr. azar >> thank you just ahead, tiny dancer is here emilie ikeda hanging out with the swifties. hi >> it's me hi i'm the one in the middle of that flash mob this is just a glimpse of the excitement spilling outside of taylor swift's show. taylor swift's show. we will have details
