miklaszewski. what happened here? >> reporter: defense and military officials are telling nbc news that the five american soldiers killed in what's being killed a friendly fire incident were special operations forces working with afghan security forces. one afghan soldier was also killed. now, the attack occurred in zabul province in southern afghanistan. when the americans and afghan security forces were conducting security sweeps of polling stations in advance of this weekend's runoff elections. when they were suddenly attacked by the taliban. an attack so fierce that the americans were forced to call in an air strike. u.s. officials tell us that a v-1 stealth bomber unleashed the attack, which went terribly wrong, killing the five americans. savannah, this is just a reminder that as the war winds down and probably many people here at home think the war is over, thousands of americans remain in harm's way in

afghanistan. >> absolutely. i'm sure this is going to be the subject of an investigation, but aren't these aircraft based weapons systems supposed to be so precise, one wonders how this could have happened. >> these are precision weapons, these are precision aircraft, but there are humans involved in that process. coordinates have to be fed to the airport. coordinates have to be written down. those coordinates have to be entered into those bombs before they're unleashed. now, all of this will be determined in an investigation and right now it's just too early to tell. >> terrible story this morning. jim miklaszewski at the pentagon for us. in other news, the scandal involving donald sterling is heating up again this morning. nbc news has received a new statement from sterling signaling a reversal of his decision to support the sale of his team. donald sterling is fighting back this morning against the nba, releasing a statement to nbc news that states clearly across the top, the team is not for

sale. in the one-page document, sterling says, from the onset, i did not want to sell the clippers. sterling then goes after adam silver, saying silver acted in haste by illegally ordering the forced sale of the clippers, banning me for life from the nba and imposing the fine. adding that the action constitutes a violation of my rights and flies in the face of freedoms that are afforded to all americans. driving his message home, he says, i intend to fight to keep the team. in may, sterling's estranged wife shelly accepted a bid from former microsoft ceo steve ballmer to buy the clippers for $2 billion. last week, sterling seemed ready to accept the deal in an exclusive interview with knbc. >> so you're done, you're okay? >> well, i'm okay. is the nba okay? i'm not sure about him. is adam silver okay? i'm sure he's okay. >> but now you move on. move on with you life.

>> move on. >> but sterling still hasn't consented to the sale and this latest move suggests this fight is far from over. bobby semini is sterling's attorney, he's here with us exclusively. >> good morning, matt. >> did he have a change or heart or did he not understand the deal? >> well, matt, that's a very good question, and i want to come back to that because it ties into some other issues that i think are important. the nba's focus is the sale of the team. that's all they're talking about, the sale of the team. i think what's important to see here is the bigger issue. the nba's got a systemic problem with discriminatory conduct. since 2008, there have been four cases against the nba for gender discrimination. there were two other very well-known cases, one with isiah thomas that resulted in $11 million award, and another where the eoc came in and actually

found that the phoenix suns had violated some rules. >> but let me keep you to the question of the morning, though, why the change of heart? did he not understand the deal? is this about the fine? is this about the lifetime ban? what is it? >> well, matt, i think it's more than that. i think there was a time to have a discussion, there was a time to try and have a resolution of this matter. but, again, adam silver has made it clear that he's going to go forward. they want to get this team sold. that's all they care about. >> but did mr. sterling not understand that the fine would stand and the lifetime ban would stand when he agreed, it seemed, to this deal last week? >> that was not the understanding. i'm not going to go into the particulars of the discussions, but that clearly wasn't the understanding. of course, adam silver has come out now and made it clear that he's not going to back off. but again, matt, i think the bigger issue here is that my client is out to clear his name

and he's going to basically expose the nba for what it is. it's a band of hypocrites. >> i want to ask you about that in a second. he underwent a neurological examination on may 16th. just a few days after he gave that interview to cnn. i believe at his wife's urging. it's my understanding, according to published reports, that two doctors who conducted that investigation or examination determined that he had some cognitive impairment. in your opinion, is donald sterling mentally stable? >> matt, i know you've spoken to him. i've spent a fair amount of time with donald sterling. there is no issue as to his mental capacity. of course, there are some very good legal tactics why that issue has come up, and frankly, i don't think that's going to get much traction. we know that that's going to be an issue that's going to come to bear and we're prepared to deal with it when it does. >> if this goes forward, this fight goes forward, then the nba owners, the other owners can get together and vote him out. it would take three quarters of

those owners. do you see a time coming very soon where lawyers for donald sterling sit those other owners down in individual depositions and ask them questions, like have you ever used language that would be racially insensitive, have you ever used racial slurs, have you ever used language that's offensive to women or gays, et cetera? >> well, i don't think we have to go that far and it's a tactic that may come to bear down the road. we don't have to go that far. we can look at the nba's own record. there are four cases, one of which they settled just last year that involved discriminatory conduct that was gender-based. this is a common practice for the nba, and i'm not talking about the teams. i'm talking about the nba itself. >> so you think mr. sterling is being singled out here? >> i think he is being singled out. the issue is not whether his conduct was appropriate. he's apologized. in the statement that was released yesterday, it was pretty unequivocal.

he has apologized for the conduct, he understands that what he said was very hurtful, and now it's time to move on that to the bigger picture. if you're going to come after sterling, maybe it's time for the nba to take a close reflection on their own conduct. i think that's the bigger picture. they seem to think that gender discrimination is okay. >> bobby semini, thank you so much for your time this morning. >> thank you very much. now to some revelations about the couple behind that deadly shooting rampage in las vegas. investigators now say they believe the husband and wife acted alone, but had thought about carrying out an attack like this for months. nbc's mike taibbi has the latest. >> reporter: they're mourning in las vegas at a vigil outside the pizza restaurant where police say jerad and amanda miller began their rampage, and in the police department, saluting two of their fallen brothers, 41-year-old alyn beck and

31-year-old igor soldo. police say millers shared an anti-government ideology with others. >> right now, we have not been able to find any links to other suspects. >> reporter: jerad miller shooting and then amanda in quick succession. they then walked to the wal-mart store where police say amalfitaamanda miller shot joel wilcox, who had moved to confront her husband. minutes later after their own murder-suicide, the siege was over. jarerad miller had briefly join the armed protesters supporting rancher cliven bundy. he posted that he got kicked off the ranch back in april, but not before he spoke exclusively to nbc news. >> i really don't want violence toward them, but if they're going to bring violence to us,

well, if that's the language they want to speak, we'll learn it. >> reporter: neighbors of the millers say in the past two months, the couple who had once been fond of performance arts had grown grim and threatening, talking about killing cops with ominous posts on social media. then sunday morning, when neighbor kelly fielder says she spoke with the couple when they left their apartment for the last time. >> she hugged me, he hugged me, and he said he had to do what he had to do and the revolution has just begun. >> reporter: the rampker cliven bundy said he doesn't remember meeting either of the millers but what they did in las vegas had nothing to do with his continuing dispute with the federal government. >> thank you very much. natalie is on assignment today. willie is here and he's got breaking news on another terror attack. >> gunmen have staged an attack near the airport in karachi, pakistan, which also was the seen of a siege on sunday that killed 36 people. richard engel has more on that and on the latest on the controversy surrounding sergeant

bowe bergdahl. richard once again in landstuhl, germany. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. sergeant bergdahl remains here at the landstuhl medical center. he's still receiving treatment. no word exactly when he'll go back to the states. as you know, there has been a lot of criticism levelled at the obama administration for releasing five taliban militants in exchange for bergdahl. well, this morning, the taliban claimed responsibility for an attack at the training wing of the karachi airport. pakistani officials say it was a hit-and-run attack that they quickly regained control of the area, that the airport was never threatened. the airport, nonetheless, the biggest in karachi, remains cancelled. this comes just two days after a sustained attack on the karachi airport that killed more than 30 people. the taliban also responsible for that attack. and it all shows how strong the taliban remains, not just in afghanistan with that terrible friendly fire attack took place today, but in pakistan as well.

and don't forget bergdahl himself for much of that captivity was held in pakistan. willie? >> a lot going on this morning. landstuhl, germany, richard engel. criminal charges being explored in the v.a. hospital scandal, that according scandal. richard griffin told a house committee his advisers who appointed supervisors who manipulated appointment wait times. they waited up to three months to see a doctor and they still do not have an appointment. crew members of a south korean ferry that capsized in april killing more than 280 passengers were in court for their first hearing today. four of the 15 crew members, including the captain, have been charged with homicide. outside the courtroom, family members of the victims scuffled with court officials who refused to allow them inside the hearing. police in los angeles say it is a miracle nobody was hurt after a high speed chase and a standoff with a gunman. police say the suspect zigzagged

across four major freeways, flying down neighborhood streets for more than an hour. eventually he bails out and runs through neighborhoods, carrying a rifle, climbed up on to some roofs, barricaded himself in a home for several hours. police used tear gas to smoke him out. eventually he gave himself up. as you can imagine, he's now facing several felony counts. now to some terrifying video out of an elevator in chile. check this out. the security camera shows 30-year-old jose vergara climb into an apartment building elevator. the doors close. but moments later, they open again, and watch as the floors begin to fly by, as he frantically pushes the buttons trying to make it stop. the elevator shoots up 30 floors in 15 seconds before crashing into the roof. vergara is in serious condition with injuries to his head and his legs. an investigation is now under way. and it's always a big honor for an american sports champion to visit the white house, but this is not the way you want it to go down.

president obama was hosti ining men's and women's teams from the university of connecticut basketball when this happened. stephanie dolson lost her balance and fell off the riser as president obama was giving a hug to coach geno auriemma. slightly embarrassed, she hides behind her teammates as the president checks to make sure she's doing okay. >> i love how she's huddling with a teammate and he's standing there. she's thinking, is he still there? >> she's not tall or anything, so you wouldn't really notice. >> isn't stephanie dolson the one who challenged him to a danceoff? >> yes. >> if they came back, she said he had to do a danceoff. >> he said he would do it in private, no cameras allowed. >> she'd probably go along with that at this point. willie, thank you. mr. roker? >> well, we've got some strong storms getting going right through the south and on into the gulf coast. we've got this upper level low spinning. we're also looking at heavy showers and thunderstorms between new orleans and houston. they've already passed through houston.

they're on their way to new orleans. you can see sunny skies by this afternoon, heavy storms make their way into the area. rainfall amounts have been pretty prodigious right outside alexandria. we're talking about anywhere from four, four and a half inches of rain. outside of houston, they've had about four and a half inches of rain. it continues to fall, and what we're looking at now, the risk of strong storms stretching all the way from louisiana up into central tennessee, for isolated tornados, hail, damaging winds. but what we're really worried about is the rein. we've got flash flood watches in effect because in the next several hours, we could be looking at anywhere from two to three inches of rain per hour in southwest to central louisiana, some areas picking up to nine inches of rain. some areas picking up to nine inches of rain. we're going to get to just take a closer look. it works how you want to work. with a fidelity investment professional... or managing your investments on your own.

choices" officially goes on sale. it's a candid look at both her achievements and setbacks as secretary of state, and many consider this a prelude to a presidential run in 2016. nbc's senior legal investigative correspondent cynthia mcfadden interviewed secretary clinton on monday. the interview is going to air on nbc nightly news tonight. cynthia, good morning. >> good morning. >> it talks a lot about her time as secretary of state, but it also looks at the politics and reconciliation that she had with president obama and some interesting insight into when sarah palin was nominated as the vice presidential nominee on the republican side, and tell us about what she told you. >> first i asked her whether or not she had the white house review this book before publication, and indeed the white house did take a look. they didn't ask her to take anything out. and one wonders maybe they wished they had asked her to take this out. this is about the whole question of sarah palin running as a woman. and as you know, sarah palin tweeted yesterday saying look who fired the first shot against women, it wasn't the gop. and it wasn't hillary clinton.

take a look. the obama staff, the campaign wanted you to attack sarah palin, and you say you wouldn't do that. >> the day she was nominated, so it was after the convention that nominated president obama and vice president biden, the day she was nominated, the obama campaign did contact me and ask me if i would attack her. i said, attack her for what? for being a woman? attack her for being on a ticket that's trying to draw attention? there will be plenty of time to do what i think you should do in politics, which is draw distinctions. >> it's interesting because it talks about her time as secretary of state, but when you think about hillary clinton, this is someone who's been in public life for decades, and i know you talked to her about just what she's learned over the course of that time. >> you know, she says she is much more comfortable in her own skin than she once was. you think back to her time as first lady by way of example, and she talked really in detail about how, you know, i am going to wear my glasses if i feel like it. i am going to put my hair in a

scrunchy if i feel like it. i'm just not going to be judged that way. this is me, like me, don't like me, sort of here i am, bold and proud. and so we asked her a little bit about what hillary of today might tell hillary back in the white house. i would be very interested to know if the hillary clinton who sits here today were to be able to give advice to the hillary clinton who was first lady of this country, what would you say to her? >> wow, that's a great question, cynthia. i would say that what i have learned and really incorporated since, to take criticism seriously, but not personally. not to be so anxious and worried about everything that everybody says and try to figure out how to incorporate that into your thinking. >> it's a fascinating interview. you can see more of it tonight

on "nbc nightly news." i know you talked to her about a potential presidential run in 2016, why she would and would not run. >> some interesting and surprising to me reasons. >> all right, thank you. we'll see you tonight. guys, back to you. >> by the way, hillary clinton's book tour is catching the attention of some of the late night comics. dylan is in for carson in the orange room. what do you have about that? >> well, you know, obviously it's a huge day for hillary clinton, and with her book hitting shelves, the big question is now what is her decision to run for president. it seems like no matter what she says, we are looking at people online saying that i don't care what she says, i think 85% say yes that she will run. so that was our question on facebook, will hillary clinton run for president in 2016? 85% say yes. so of course, it has taken to late night talk shows and jimmy fallon said, hillary clinton wants to put off presidential plans so she can travel. when asked where, she said new hampshire, iowa, and florida. and then david ducker says, as

best as i can tell, hillary clinton has been running for president for 22 years. we want to know what you think. let us know #orangeroom on facebook and twitter. it seems like the decision won't be if she runs, but when she'll make that decision. coming up, are too many tired truck drivers sharing the roads with us? safety concerns emerging in the wake of that crash involving tracy morgan. and the five health mistakes you're making each day before 10:00. but first, this is "today" on nbc.

good morning. i'm vai sikahema. our first alert forecast from meteorologist bill henley. still foggy? >> fog and heavy showers and thunderstorms activity, vai. it is a gloomy start to your tuesday. this is the radar view. a line of showers with some heavy downpours now in new castle county in delaware, just moving past chesapeake city. red lion getting rain and it's moving toward mannington in salem county. light rain across delaware county, chester county and portions of south philadelphia and montgomery county as well. thank you. a check on traffic with jillian mele. some wet roads. >> yes. many places seeing wet

conditions out there, foggy conditions for drivers in delaware. this is a live look at 95 at 495 the southern split we have volume. heavy volume on 422 eastbound at a crawl at trooper and look here average speeds on 422, 22 miles per hour, same on the blue route. 7 miles per hour is what we're seeing on 76 westbound at city avenue so heavy volume. especially on 95. >> new developments on the emergency shutdown of the 495 bridge over the christina river. it will release the plan to fix the bridge and get it reopened. a newly released 911 call reveal as business owner reported that the median of the bridge wasn't lined up properly, this was back in april. deldot has not commented on that call. a massive amount of dirt believed to have caused the bridge to tilt has been removed.

we're back now at 7:30 on a tuesday morning. it's the 10th of june, 2014. what's wrong with that picture down below? well, no one is driving that car. well, kind of. there it goes by itself. we're going to check out these new driverless vehicles. this isn't the one you've been hearing about coming in the future. this one can be purchased today. >> that's craig melvin, our correspondent, saying look, mom, no hands. >> parked itself. how about that? >> we'll check that out in a couple of moments. but first, let's take a look at what's making headlines. five u.s. special operations forces have died in an parent friendly fire incident in afghanistan. we're told they were attacked by taliban forces and then called in an air strike, but then that operation went terribly wrong. also, the first audit looking into the veterans

affairs scandal is out. the report shows more than 57,000 vets have been waiting 90 days or more to see a doctor for the first time. another 64,000 fell through the cracks entirely, never getting appointments. and donald sterling is now withdrawing his support from the deal to sell the los angeles clippers. in an exclusive interview earlier today, sterling's attorney said his client believed the nba would revoke sterling's lifetime ban if he agreed to the sale. that is apparently not the terms of the deal, so they are pushing back. >> we got a statement from the nba on that saying, "there was never a discussion involving the nba in which we would modify mr. sterling's penalty in any way whatsoever. any suggestion otherwise is a complete fabrication." >> it's fascinating about your interview. they're going on offense. just ahead on our week-long look at the modern dad, what could possibly go wrong? the guys of "today" pack up a minivan for an afternoon of fishing with sharp hooks and alcohol. some honest thoughts about our

roles as dads. >> remember that fish we caught, guys? plus, get out the breaking news banners. round up the kids. matt is going to do something he's never done before and he'll do it live right here on "today." if you have a guess, use the #orangeroom. what could go wrong with that? >> and it's not driving the minivan. which is also a first. >> the mind does reel. what could it be? >> big reveal coming up. and a programming note. this week marks 20 years since the murders of o.j. simpson's ex-wife nicole brown simpson and her friend ron goldman, a crime that transfixed america. we're going to look back with some of the major players, including fred and kim goldman and that infamous house guest. this morning we are learning more about the tragic accident that critically injured actor and comedian tracy morgan and killed another well-known comedian. the truck driver's lack of sleep is now being blamed for that crash, and nbc's tom costello has more on that. tom, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. state prosecutors in new jersey say they believe that that

driver who slammed into the limo, the truck driver, hadn't slept in 24 hours. that's raising concerns about the hours that long haul truck drivers are required to drive, just as we're hearing the 911 calls from the accident early that morning. to everyone on that stretch of the jersey turnpike early saturday, it was clear the accident was horrific. >> a terrible accident. the car flipped. it's on its side. >> reporter: police say the driver of the wal-mart truck, 35-year-old kevin roper, hadn't slept in more than 24 hours. his truck slammed into the limo, killing jimmy mack mcnair. veteran comic tracy morgan remains in critical condition with multiple broken bones, expected to be hospitalized for weeks. an instagram photo from another injured comic shows the inside of the limo equipped with seat belts, but we don't know if anyone was wearing them. for ron wood, it's all eerily familiar. he lost his mother, sister, and her three small children when a

truck driver fell asleep and slammed into their suv. >> i was disgusted to learn that the conditions under which truck drivers are encouraged to drive are ridiculous. they're insane. >> reporter: the typical trucker workweek is nearly double the standard 40-hour week. in 2012, 104,000 people were injured, and nearly 4,000 people killed in crashes involving large trucks. that's 11 people killed every day. the department of transportation estimates driver fatigue is a factor in 13% of truck crashes. >> my concern is that we're pushing these truck drivers too hard, we're making them drive at night, we're making them drive too many hours, in a day and also in a week. >> reporter: to address safety concerns, new federal regulations set a trucker's maximum workweek at 70 hours, down from 82. but the trucking industry has complained, and just last week, congress moved to raise the hours again. the trucking association tells nbc news, no hours of service rule can address what a driver

does in his or her off-duty time. the driver in saturday's crash will be arraigned in court on wednesday. meanwhile, wal-mart says it's cooperating fully with this investigation, but it also says it believes this driver was operating within federal regulations and those regulations require a driving shift of no longer than 14 hours at a stretch. so we deon't know what happened in his off time. back to you. >> that's a longstanding concern. tom, thank you. let's get a check of the weather now from al. >> today's weather is brought to you by the new windows. one experience for everything in your life. >> as you look at your weather window today, we're going to be expecting some warm temperatures in the southeast and the southwest, especially where that ridge of high pressure is more dominant and the jet stream is up to the north. you can see temperatures in the 100s and 90s. as we zoom in, tucson 70 degrees above normal.

phoenix 110. las vegas 106. and warm where we normally don't see it. redding, california, 104 degrees for a high. that's 16 degrees above normal. boise, idaho, looking at a temperature of 83. that's four degrees above normal. risk of strong storms in the lower to mid mississippi river valley. wet weather will extend into the northeast today. showers along the plains. again, out west, spectacular. sunshine and 74 in l.a. 72 i good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. a stormy start and foggy one too. fog will thin out. there is a chance we'll see more showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, afternoon temperatures topping out in the 80s. more of the same on tap tomorrow. 81 with occasional storms on wednesday, then storms even more likely thursday and friday. middle 80s with high humidity both days. then a turn for the more comfortable this weekend. sunshine saturday and sunday. low humidity and highs in the 80s.

the way to creating a driverless automobile. for the first time, cameras were allowed inside mercedes-benz's research and development facility out in silicon valley. we got a look at what's driving the cars of the future. no steering wheel. no gas or brake pedals. no more driving. >> it's going to be incredibly empowering and incredibly powerful. >> reporter: google recently announced it's building 100 of these friendly-looking self-driving cars to test this summer. their goal, cornering the market on driverless cars in the future. just a few miles away in silicon valley -- >> detected the lanes and also sees the car in front of us. >> reporter: one of the world's oldest car makers is racing to beat the tech giant to it and they may have a head start. >> as you can see, the car is engaged here and basically drives by itself, brakes by itself, it steers by itself. >> reporter: mercedes new s class intelligent drive is on the road now and it can drive

itself, for up to 12 seconds. >> that's at 65 miles an hour. we are following the car in front of us. it's actually steering. >> reporter: lasts a bit longer during stop and go traffic keeping you in your lane. so if you're stuck in rush hour traffic. >> it is a big relief, in terms of safety and in terms of convenience. >> reporter: how so? >> humans make mistakes. when you see a certain situation, until you actually take action, basically about one second goes by. computers actually react within milliseconds. >> reporter: i took the car on the road myself. look, mom, no hands. though accident-free driving may be the goal, some critics worry about the technology failing. >> we've seen our electronics go down on us. even if these cars are better than human drivers, we all have to acknowledge that the possibility of failure is very real. >> reporter: what next? a dashboard of the future projected within your windshield that's interactive, using

gesture technology while the car drives itself. oh, i can change my music? >> exactly, you can change your music. >> reporter: wow. to those who would say you are creating a host of distractions, what would be your response to that? >> we want the car to really become so intelligent, to have a brain in itself basically, and do all of this hard work for you. >> reporter: that hard work may pay off in other ways, though it's still a work in progress, google says if their self-driving car gets into an accident, write them the ticket. all right, so in the future, obviously no one will park their own cars. there are some cars on the road that can parallel park themselves, but there's not one that can perpendiculally park until now. i think you can see this p that pops up at the bottom of the dash, that lets you know that the parking technology is engaged. so you're in the mall parking lot. you're zooming along and looking

for that spot. and you'll notice that the arrow pops up right there. lets you know oh, you passed a parking spot, mr. melvin. throw that thing in reverse. park assist is on. do you want to engage? yes, yes, i do, i'll take your park assist. you give it just a smidge of gas. notice, no hands. and it throws itself into the parking spot. savannah guthrie, it's almost impossible to mess that up. >> that was good. >> you hop out. >> that's better than willie geist. >> it uses -- you know, you've got four cameras, 12 censors just to park. when you're out on the road, lots more cameras, lots more censors. they insist that all of this is designed to create a world of accident-free driving. should note, though, this is a $120,000 automobile. this is not technology -- although mercedes does offer

some of this technology. >> real quickly, laws and states across the country, they allow this? >> reporter: as is usually the case, matt lauer, laws have not caught up with technology just yet. there's not a major metropolitan area that allows you to sit in a car and have it drive for you. we reached out to the national highway transportation safety administration, they won't allow cars on the roads until the technology becomes commercially and economically viable. >> craig, thank you very much. that was cool stuff. >> reporter: i'll bring one back for you. >> i was nervous, though. i wasn't sure it was going to make the spot. >> it looked like it had it under control. >> when are we getting the flying cars? that's what i want. coming up next, we don't want to overstate it, but history will be made right here on the "today" show. >> which is overstating it. >> matt will do something that he's never done on the show before. >> that part is true. and on "trending," jennifer lopez challenges jimmy fallon's

the popular new acts in musicaled five seconds of summer. remember that name. the guys have a very special announcement to make. take a look. >> hi, we're five seconds to summer. we'll be coming to the plaza to celebrate our album release. >> on july 22nd to the "today" show. >> see you there. >> i can hear the squeals now. >> i can hear my phone ringing now with all my friends with kids. >> exactly. mark your calendars tuesday, july 22nd, when five seconds of summer takes over rockefeller plaza. simply e-mail matt lauer for tickets. meanwhile, we've got a very popular group also coming up. "orange is the new black," a binge-worthy hit that keeps people glued to their tvs and laptops. the cast is here today to talk about season two and what's made this series so successful. >> they're deep in thought. >> nice pose. >> yes, it is. and rob lowe sits down with maria shriver to reflect on his most important role, father. and what he wants his sons to do that he never got to experience.

>> but first, mr. roker, check of the weather. >> let's show you what we've got happening for today. we are looking at a risk of strong storms, especially down through the lower mississippi river valley. wet weather in the northern plains. gorgeous weather in the pacific northwest. 68 and sunny in beautiful seattle. we're looking at showers in the southeast. tomorrow, more rain moving in. sizzling from texas into the southwest. nice and sunny and mild as you get into the pacific i'm meteorologist bill henley. a stormy start and a foggy one, too. there is a chance we'll see more showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. afternoon temperatures topping out in the 80s. more of the same on tap for tomorrow. . 81 with occasional storms on wednesday. storms more likely thursday and friday. middle 80s with a high humidity both days, but then a turn for the more comfortable this

weekend. sunshine, saturday and sunday. low humidity in the low 80s. have a great day. >> that's your latest weather. we have so many dads here, anything you want to tell your daddy? >> no. >> no! okay. we've got a happy father's day. all these guys having a good time. we love it. a little fistpump, buddy? all right. now let's head back inside. guys? hello! >> all right, al. thank you very much. now to more of our ongoing "modern dads" series, rob lowe is a guy who's famous for his television and movie roles, but it is his role as a father that he treasures more than anything. lowe writes very candidly about all that in a new book called "love life," and he recently sat down with nbc special anchor maria shriver. >> my children have always made me feel, they have always taught me, changed me, always for the better. having them in my life has turned me into a man. >> when rob lowe talks about his

children, his priorities become very clear. >> i just got early on that my boys were going to be my life's work. i made a conscious effort to focus on television so i could stay in los angeles. and so i wasn't on a location, you know, all over the world doing movies. >> so you said to yourself, i better go into tv and not do films all the time? >> exactly. it was going to be easier to have as close to a normal life as i could have. >> normal life with his sons matthew, now 20, and 18-year-old john owen, meant being there for bedtime, birthdays, and all the little moments in between. >> i loved coaching the teams. i loved going on the field trips. i'm the guy dressing up in the caveman outfit for the kids' birthday parties. >> he wanted to be there in part because his own dad wasn't. his parents divorced, leaving lowe to be raised mostly by his mom. >> because of the divorce, he was out of my life on a daily basis, so it was weekends and fun and movies and all those

things that weekend dads do. >> has your father commented on your fathering? >> he does. he's sort of blown away. he says, i just hope you're having some time for you, he always says. i say, this is time for me. are you kidding me? that's what this is. for me, the battle is finding the balance between wanting to spend time with my boys, because they're my favorite people, and then having enough sort of perspective to still be like the disciplinarian and not be in the best friend business. >> you're in the in this best friend business? >> i try not to be. and i don't always win that battle because i enjoy them so much. but you don't need your dad to be your best friend. >> he's managed to make sure both of his sons go to college, something lowe himself never did. and he hopes the time he spent with them will pave the way for their own visions of fatherhood. >> many men say to me, look, my role is to be a provider and a protector. but can you change that? can modern fathers change the way fatherhood is perceived

among other men, to make it as important as the role of provider? >> i think it is changing. if you go to a pickup at a school anywhere, you'll see more fathers there than i think you would have ten years ago. i feel like the idealized man today is still out there in the world, providing and able to balance that with raising, as opposed to taking over what has been traditionally the role of mom. >> about to be empty nestors, lowe and his wife sheryl have few regrets about how they've raised their family, and in the end, that may be the best father's day present of all. >> i put in the time, i did it. i can't imagine what it would be like to have guilt around that. and then have your kids have problems in adulthood. that would be devastating to me. everybody's going to go through

challenges, but at least sheryl and i know that we did truly the best we could. >> you know, he's in good company, because in today's modern dads survey, we found that more than a third of empty nesters felt closer to their own parents were with them. so apparently you're learning by some of the things that didn't go well with your parents and you're doing a better job with your own kids. >> fatherhood has changed over the generations so much. >> expectations have certainly changed. no question about it. >> i think it's the evolution of fatherhood, too. you take the good things you watched your father do and leave some of the bad things behind and hopefully you get better with each generation. >> and i think dads and moms are coming closer to who they are and the roles are interchangeable. >> by the way, you can see more of maria's conversation with rob lowe, you can also read and excerpt from his book on today.com. coming up next, get excited. the phenomenon is back. we're going to catch up with the cast of "orange is the new black." yes, there they are.

but first, this is "today" on nbc.

we're back at 8:40. if you did not answer your phone this weekend or didn't see your family, it may have something to do with our next guests. the stars of the popular netflix original series "orange is the new black." take a look. >> this is not how i imagined prison to be at all. >> after an 11-month wait, the women are finally back behind bars for season two of the much-anticipated netflix dark comedy "orange is the new black." >> oh, my god, i'm so relieved. >> the show follows good girl gone bad piper chatman, locked up for smuggling drug men, and

locked up with pennsatucky. >> while the humor is always a part of the show, this season will take a darker turn. >> don't make me rip your throat out with my teeth. >> the last year, we've really seen netflix transition into being a network. they've launched original series "orange is the new black" and "house of cards" that have been incredibly well-received. >> welcome to washington. >> and while netflix does not release ratings, if the buzz on social media is any indication of the show's success, "orange is the new black" has captivated binge watchers all over again. >> mendez is back. >> joining us now four of the stars of "orange is the new black," taylor shilling, laura prepon, jason biggs, and uzo aduba. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> here's an unscientific measure of success. we're so excited to have you.

unscientific measure of success. we had a beautiful weekend here in new york and much of the country, and people spent the weekend indoors binge-watching. so i'm reading tweets. i should have paced myself, says one person. yes, i binge watched instead of studying my exams, and yes, i regret it. does it make you feel good -- >> i don't want people to fail, or not live up to their potential scholastically because of our show. >> i do. i really don't care about people's education as long as they are watching our show, or any show on netflix, obviously. but mostly our show. >> way to take a stand, jason. show of hands, and please be honest, when your agent or whoever came to you and said hey, we've got this new series, it's only online and it's set in a women's prison, who thought, this is going to be a huge hit? >> well, when you hear -- you know, after you read the pilot,

it was so good. i think i speak for all of us when you say you knew it was something special and it made you want to take that leap. >> this group was so good, it sort of crossed mediums, no matter what was going on, it was worth doing. >> i loved hearing about how you came on the show. you actually auditioned for another part, as i understand it. what did you think when the producers said we have something in mind for you, it's a character called crazy eyes. >> i started thinking to myself, i was like, what in my audition would have ever made them think, she's not quite right for the track star, but she is totally right for the crazy person. i was like, okay, well, we'll take it. but i read it, i thought -- yes, she felt absolutely right. that felt like the right fit. >> weren't you only supposed to be in a couple episodes and they saw your genius, they brought you back? >> yes, i was only supposed to do two episodes, maybe a third, and i remember walking back with one of our producers, lisa, and she said we're going to use you more. i was like, amazing, i'm going to get to do that third episode.

>> jason, you're one of the few men. in contrast to most of the women characters who have cheated, lied, stolen, murdered, you're the good guy. but yet, somehow you're not that sympathetic. why is that? >> yeah, well, i think -- i have a couple theories. one of which is that the women are so incredibly sympathetic, and these ladies are so incredible and taylor does such an amazing job, and people really root for piper, so when larry does these things, makes these decisions that are, you kno know, somewhat questionable, even though i see it as him trying to take care of himself given the circumstances. but people are not thrilled with him. so he's kind of a polarizing guy. >> and by the way, taylor, your life has to have completely changed. this is a huge first role. i mean, do you walk down the street and people recognize you now? what's it been like? >> yeah. well, people do. and it's really exciting. because new york is sort of -- everybody's very cool in new

york. they don't want to, you know, look up at all. but people are very vocal. it's exciting. i'm so proud of the show, i'm so proud of everybody, we worked together, it's dreamy. >> are you working on becoming a demanding celebrity? you know, you need to do that. >> i totally messed up. i should have made requests in the green room earlier. >> like lavender lilies. >> i can tell you she's doing a great job. >> and laura, you're kind of like the person we fell in love with as a character because we liked to hate her so much. >> thank you. i take that as a compliment. >> i mean it as a compliment. we'll see you in season two, but we're going to really see you in every episode in season three, i hear? >> yes, definitely. i'm really excited because i missed everybody so much during season two. but we started shooting yesterday, and it's awesome. i can't wait to get back to work. >> all those binge-watchers, no pressure. but they are waiting, so hurry up. >> taylor schilling, laura prepon, jason biggs, and

uzo aduba, thank you for being here. season two of "orange is the new black" now available on net flefle flix. coming up next, creative summer meals in 30 minutes or less.

back at 8:00-ish. 8:54. it's a moment that's going to live in "today" show history as matt joins facebook. it's this clever application invented approximately a decade ago. >> someone just said to me you know you're too old for facebook when you need your glasses. very nice. >> so you're going to do a live chat. people are sending you questions. so you can reply. here's one. so, samantha, i love you. >> what's the most awkward interview you've had in your career? >> we're off to a good start. >> so if you want to reply, you can hit reply. >> okay. so i am going to -- >> you know how to use a lap sto

dyinging down over southern salem county and a few the scattered showers and the showers taking a break now, but they'll be back later today. the showers are starting to thin out with one exception in northeast philadelphia. quarter-mile visibility there. it will be a cloudy start with highs in the 80s later today. a traffic alert for you. we had a tractor trailer accident causing problems. jillian mele has that. >> it's happening on 95 southbound. the off ramp, route 896. one of the viewers just sent this photo over twitter and he says you can see all of this activity. that's the overturned tractor trailer. so this ramp is completely blocked off. 95 southbound, the route 896 off-ramp is closed as a result of this accident. we're not seeing delays on 95 itself, but just watch as you approach that accident. people will begin a protest march in just a few minutes. they're fighting a looming shutdown. the tent city is located on

lakewood on owned property. this encampment is dangerous and a nuisance. it's demolishing the tents and shanties wanting them completely gone this week. protesting this e vick, people are marching to the town square to demonstrate there. we'll cover that for you and let you know what happens. just ahead on the "today" show, royal pains star talks about the show's sixth season. we'll see you for another update.

from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. it's june 10th, 2014. the rain has passed through new york, a mh better day today. a little bit overcast. i'm willie geist along with al roker, and yes, dylan dreyer with us. >> yea! >> this is weird, right? >> no, it's great. >> al and i at the same table. >> the only time we're out together is when there's a bad storm and we're out covering bad weather. >> there's a lot of meteorological expertise. tamron is out today. natalie is out on assignment. a lot of people talking today about hillary clinton, her book "hard choices" is out. a lot of people wondering is it

a prelude to a presidential run. >> no! >> not a chance. >> she's been talking a lot. she's been asked about benghazi. she's been asked about monica lewinsky. she's been asked about her record as secretary of state, which is what she writes about for the most part. cynthia mcfadden, nbc's senior legal investigative correspondent, sat down with secretary clinton for an interview that airs tonight on nightly news and asked mrs. clinton about another influential woman in politics. very interesting answer here. >> the obama staff, the campaign wanted you to attack sarah palin, and you say you wouldn't do that. >> the day she was nominated, so it was after the convention that nominated president obama and vice president biden, the day she was nominated, the obama campaign did contact me and asked me if i would attack her. i said, attack her for what, for being a woman? attack her for being on a ticket that's trying to draw attention? there will be plenty of time to do what i think you should do in politics, which is draw

distinctions. >> that's in 2008 during the campaign, she was asked to come around for barack obama, then senator obama and said no, i won't do it, i won't go after sarah palin. i think that's the first time we've heard her say that. the entire interview, by the way, is tonight on "nightly news." i think it's -- we play the game and say will she, won't she run. i think most people would be stunned if hillary clinton did not run for president. >> i think that's more stunning. >> i think it's when is she going to make the announcement that she's running. >> and this book tour is almost the beginning of this campaign. two and a half years from election day. >> you can feel it. >> it's only 2014 right now. >> election day is two and a half years away. but the campaign begins today. >> right now. >> with the release of her book. >> and maybe by 2016, we'll know who owns the l.a. clippers. >> he's not going away. >> it will not stop. so donald sterling sends out -- his attorneys, they send out a press release. the team is not for sale. boom. he released this to a bunch of news organizations. he says, from the onset, i

didn't want to sell the clippers. he's going to fight. he says adam silver acted hastily and enforced this illegal sale. so earlier this morning on "today," matt talks to sterling's attorney bobby samini, asking about the details of the ban, which is one of the problems sterling has with this thing. >> did mr. sterling not understand that the fine would stand and the lifetime ban would stand when he agreed, it seemed, to this deal last week? >> that was not the understanding. i'm not going to go into the particulars of the discussions, but that clearly wasn't the understanding. of course, adam silver has come out now and made it clear that he's not going to back off. but again, matt, i think the bigger issue here is that my client is out to clear his name, and he's going to basically expose the nba for what it is. it's a band of hypocrites. >> and that, my friends, is the warning shot across the bow. guess what, we're going to depose every one of you guys. did you ever use bad language?

did you ever talk disparagingly about people of different races? so the nba executive vice president for communications michael bass told us in a statement, there was never a discussion involving the nba in which we modified mr. sterling's penalty in any way whatsoever. any suggestion otherwise is a complete fabrication. >> and this is a 180 from a couple weeks ago. said all right, what's done is done. i'm walking away from the team. >> his wife and the trust had worked out a deal to sell to steve ballmer, formerly of microsoft. and now, uh-uh, nope. >> and that's what keeps the story going on and on. just when you think it's getting to that peak, and now we're starting over again. >> yeah, it's interesting to hear sterling's attorney with matt. they are on the offensive. we talked about the nba being a league of hypocrites. he's talking about gender discrimination, cases they settled and they didn't throw those people out of the league so they're going to try to use that as some standing to keep steriling in the nba. >> a nightmare. and also a nightmare. i've actually had this nightmare before. >> this is horrifying. >> an elevator out of control.

everybody has that moment where the doors take a little extra time to open. watch this video. it's an elevator in chile, where a man was seriously injured. imagine going from floor one to the 31st floor in 15 seconds. >> with the doors open. >> and that's the weird thing. usually you fear the elevator dropping. this thing's accelerating up. >> there are amusement rides based on elevators going down. he ends up crashing into the roof of the building. he suffered serious head and leg injuries. the other doors shut before the main door shuts. oh, my gosh. that is one of those -- would you rather go up or down in an out of control elevator? >> i don't know that either one -- although probably going up. >> you're not in a free fall. >> although if you're going down, they're supposed to have those fail safe brake kind of things. >> should be something. the poor guy, almost looks like he's scared stiff. he doesn't even know, what do you do at this point. >> i hope he's okay. have you ever been stuck in an elevator? >> an extra five seconds, it freaks me out. >> the door doesn't open, you

get that panicky feeling. >> i kind of enjoy it. a little time away. >> some quiet. >> no cell service. >> just chilling out. >> that says a lot about you, al. you'd rather be stuck in an elevator than spend time with the rest of us. >> i think that says something about you. >> you know that death glare, al? that's the one. there's some science here from the journal psychological science. says a threatening expression actually can be very persuasive. turns out people are more likely to give in to an unfair demand when someone gives them a threatening look. so, for example, if you asked me for something with that look, i would surrender and give you whatever you asked. >> i'd ask if you want an eye drop. your left eye's a little out of control there. >> yes, it is. >> but there's something to that. my mom can say nothing, she would just give me a look like that. >> that's right. >> and you would just do anything she says. >> that's the thing. moms have the look. give that look.

my mother could -- she could have her eyes closed and still give you the look. you didn't want that look. >> you like to think you have that with your own kids now. just give them the look. >> i give it to my dog. it doesn't work. >> our children aren't afraid of us. see, we used to be actually afraid of our parents. they've got the child abuse hotline on speed dial. we can't do anything. >> we're not taking off the belt. that's not happening these days. >> did your dad take off the belt? >> for the record, my dad never took off the belt. >> my mom reached for the wooden spoon. >> from time to time, he didn't necessarily use the belt, but he could make that whip cracking noise like indiana jones. >> it's the acting. >> it's the threat of the belt rather than the belt itself. here's an interesting weather-related and wedding story i think is fascinating. oregon couple april and michael w wobbler are preparing to get married just outside bend oregon on saturday afternoon.

a wildfire kicks up, almost destroys their big day. look at this. the small brush fire grows into a wildfire as the ceremony gets closer. and they had to evacuate 30 minutes before the ceremony. >> that's not photoshoped. legit. >> exactly. and michael says he remembers looking at the pastor and saying, i got to marry april today, got to marry her here. firefighters changed their mind. they performed the ceremony like express. they did it in half the time and then evacuated to a backup reception area. >> so they didn't have the reception in this area. >> i'm sorry for any destruction that took place, but that is a beautiful photograph. i mean, fascinating. a long way to go for a good wedding picture. but looks pretty good. >> it beats those people standing on the dock and falling in. at what point are they going to realize, don't stand on the dock. >> al, what's going on over there? >> i don't know, i just thought i'd walk over here. we've got basically showers and thunderstorms along a very slow-moving system that's bringing those thunderstorms. and so as you look, new orleans right now, they've got clouds, that's beginning to be moving in.

he was able to take in children not of his own and yet love them all the same. today, my dad is by far my best friend. i can always talk to him about anything. many people think that being adopted is a sad thing. and it certainly can be. but for me, it's the best thing that's ever happened. i can't imagine what life would be like without my dad or my family. he makes me feel safe in a way that i could have never felt in my previous situation. i have the world's best dad. >> certainly does. aaron bower, good to see you. >> you, too. good morning. >> good to see you, aaron. >> you talk about how you come home, you yell daddy's home, and you hear six kids answering. what's that feel like? >> it's amazing. it's like a treasure hunt every time i come home, to see if i can find all of them, give them a touch, give them a hug. there's a lot of them. but man, being a dad, it's just amazing. >> i'm a dad and i'm listening to your daughter read that letter and i was getting a little emotional.

>> hi. >> hi, welcome. >> how great a dad is he? >> he is the best dad ever. i might be a little biassed, but we could not do this if we were not working together well as a team because he is incredible. he is hands-on. he's there all the time. he's marvelous. >> and beth, that was such a beautiful letter you wrote. >> thank you. >> was it hard to do? or was it fun for you to do? what were you feeling when you said those words? >> well, it was a little rushed writing it. but it was kind of emotional as well. just really taking the time to take think about everything that he has done and what that's like. it was pretty hard to write it without shedding a couple tears. >> beth, could you call my daughter and ask her -- give her a few tips? >> we're going to keep that video on hand because it will probably come in useful around our house sometime soon. >> aaron, can you talk about the decision to adopt not just once, twice, but six times? >> it started out just wanting

to be a dad, that's it. and heather and i started down that path, and struggled with infertility. and so we started considering adoption as an option. and as things progressed, you know, we adopted kyler, he's my first boy, he made me a dad. we started down that road. we got to a point where we had an opportunity after a surgery for endometriosis, you know, this is your chance if you want to get pregnant. we think the option kind of turned into conviction at that point. we're like no, we're going for adoption. >> i adopted my oldest girl, and i always remember that moment, we had a car that had no child in it, and then there's a baby in back. but that bond, at least for us, happened instantaneously. >> once i knew that i got paper work that kyler, or then max was my boy, it was just game on. like let's do this right now. they're mine and we're going to do whatever it takes to get them home and get them in the family

right away. >> clearly, you have a wonderful family. you have beautiful kids and a beautiful wife. we thought we'd give you one more surprise, if that's okay with you. >> how's that possible? >> we want to send you guys on a little trip. carnival cruise lines is providing our deserving dad and the entire bower family with a seven-day vacation to alaska. the voyage will include scenic cruising along the alaskan coastline, stunning glacier and wildlife viewing and shore excursions in three popular alaskan ports of call. your family will enjoy endless dining and entertainment, camp activities, special programming for kids and teens, all trip accommodations furnished by carnival cruise lines. >> wow, thank you. >> so you guys are in seattle. so that won't be too bad a trip for you. >> that's fantastic. >> happy father's day. a little early. >> that's excellent. >> happy father's day, aaron. >> thank you so much. >> heather, kids, thank you for being here. >> and we're back with another story highlighting s you have time to shop for car insurance today? yeah. i heard about progressive's "name your price" tool?

know the song "chicken fat". >> she was the only one singing it. that was 1962, composed for the president's fitness program. what year were you born? >> 1964. >> how do you know the chicken fat song. >> in west virginia, where i was raised, they thought it was new. >> did not mean to offend anybody in west virginia. >> i love west virginia. >> you're the apology du jour today. >> i love it. hold on, the reason i knew it is because what is old is new again. the new apple commercial has it in it. let's listen. ♪ ♪ touchdown every morning ten times ♪ ♪ not just now and then ♪ ♪ once more on the wild west ♪ ♪ go you chicken fat

go away ♪ ♪ go you chicken fat go ♪ >> okay. >> i'm so happy that's back. i am so happy that song is back. >> you don't rest unless you get one crappy song a day on this show. >> we'll listen to that over and over. it is an apple commercial it kcs on all the time. >> colbie caillat is here. and josh turner is here. very fine musicians. >> colbie caillats had a new music video. guess who is in the video. >> you and i are and we never looked lovelier. >> we did it all without makeup, because we like her. >> now from orange is the new black -- i guess people are binge watching all weekend long. >> these -- they have four of the people on earlier. we have laura prepon on with us. there were people running into the studio who worked here for years who don't run into the studio to see anybody. they wanted to see "the orange

is the new black" people, a new phenomenon. how about that? anyway. >> okay, we have to discuss this. it is sad, but interesting. halle berry and her ex-boyfriend have been battling over their daughter nala for years in court. it got ugly with that brawl in front of their -- it has been a -- >> it is finally over and here's what happened at the end. they ended up sharing custody of now 6-year-old nala. they have been battling for years. >> most of her life. >> yeah, you're right. it turns out halle berry will have to pay child support, $16,000 a month until nala turns 19 or graduates from high school. anyway, and they also gave her former boyfriend at the time retroactive support, which means he's getting an extra chunk of $115,000 for all the time they have been talking about it and no one has been paying. >> you know who really got rich? the lawyers. the lawyers have gotten rich.

they reached a custody agreement in 2012, anyway, so they never got married. they lived together, they had a beautiful child. how do you feel about the spousal support. it is not spousal, but it is support. >> i think, i mean, look, i think that the child has to live in a home with halle some of the time and in a home with her dad some of the time. >> so there is a lot of security. most of that is -- >> probably security for things to keep -- transportation, things like that. i mean, here's the thing. the thing that kills me is you battle for four years or however many years they have been battling over this. and at the end of the day, they're sharing custody, okay. they paid the lawyers a boat load, she's paying anyway. i mean, i -- someone told me when i was going through a divorce, there is a price for freedom. and sometimes you want to fight because fighting is -- like justice. but at the end of the day, do you want it to go on and on and

on when you can really have your freedom and there is a price for it. so, you know, now you have your freedom, your daughter. >> she since has gotten married, has another child. she was happy. but they have not been able to move to france by court order because of the joint custody thing. i wondered if that's based on her income or on the needs of the child. because she is one of the highest paid actresses. $16,000 is a lot of money. it does not go as far in los angeles, let me tell you, as it does in other parts of the country. >> yeah. >> it really doesn't. >> right. new york has one of the highest, you know, cost of livings. >> yeah, it does. >> okay, so -- >> i'm glad it is over for them. >> we have news about sandra bullock. yesterday, or couple of days ago we told you about this invasion, someone broke in to sandra bullock's home over the weekend. in los angeles. she has a home well fortified, a good way to put it. she has fences, barbed wire. >> she just recently put in. >> and the neighbors were

surprised anyone could get in. someone got into the home and now she's done something to try to prevent him from ever coming in again. she on tabtained an emergency protective order. he was arrested outside the home and -- >> 6:30 in the morning on sunday. pretty vulnerable time. you're just -- >> if someone is in your house, while you're in there -- the question is, a lot of people file protective orders, i did a lot of "dateline" stories and people always had a restraining order, protective order, one of those orders and it made it so the cops knew and kept a record of when he was around and that kind of thing, but, you know, it is difficult when there is somebody who is hell bent on doing something. >> a lot of the laws, you can't do anything about it until somebody has done something illegal. >> right. >> so you're at risk because they have got to do something bad to you before you can -- before they get arrested. anyway, terrifying.

>> if you're planning on flying, in 2050, and who isn't, 38 years from now, okay, there is an idea of how planes will look in the year 2050. okay. first of all, they're saying that planes will have a 360 panoramic view of the sky. so you'll be be able to see everything above. they also say that classes, like first class business and economy, will no longer exist. instead, they'll divvy up the plane in zones, depending what you want to do, gaming, or golf, go in that zone. if you want to socialize. look at the chairs. they'll have the massage chairs like at the manicure place, in the chair. >> we don't have to wait all those years for that. >> you're right. they can't be that pricey. >> and air freshener, we have to

wait 50 years for that? look, and drinks? >> if they can put those chairs, they could put them into planes and they're so awesome. they did that based on what people requested and what they want. would you like that, to be able to see everything around you. >> no. >> in a storm, you would be scared. >> there are few places anymore left that you can just go and get away, if you want to. go into a -- a little cocoon for a certain amount of time. and turn off mobile devices and, you know, probably everyone will be yakking on their phones too. yeah, peace and quiet until you hit the turbulence. that didn't look good. >> does birth order predict your love life? >> apparently, yes. plenty of fish. >> they looked at 7 million singles on a site and found that first borns were most likely to

find love on their website. those who -- >> overachievers. >> reliable and controlling. >> the least likely to find love are the jan bradys, the middle children. >> me and hoda. >> because you're people pleasers, peacemakers, trying to -- >> we're also a little rebellious, that was not true of me, until i was way older. my sister was a rebellious -- >> mine too. and we learned when they got in trouble, oerh, not doing that. they set the tone for what not to do. >> she had it tough, your parents were really, really strict. >> they were. i know. she couldn't go to any dances. i wasn't either, but i snuck out. so i watched. >> you were rebellious. you told me what you did at summer camp. people magazine calls him one of country's hottest dads. >> josh turner is here, brought along his guitar. and two-time winner colbie

other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®.
