obstacle, but my dreams are starting to come true and it would have never been possible without my grandfather. after raising his own children, my grandfather started all over again and began to raise me. working at least two jobs in addition to serving to protect his country, my grandfather did whatever it took to ensure that i would have ever advantage. a man with a heart that big should be honored. to have him sing for everyone to hear would be the culmination of everything he's taught me. even if it may not come overnight, hard work, love, and persistence always pays off. that's my grandpa, y'all. thank you. >> charles and demille, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> thanks for having us. >> charles, i'm sorry we tricked you a little bit. >> you sure did. >> i apologize. you thought you were here because demille is auditioning for a very important thing in his life. in fact, you're here because he wanted to deliver that message. what was it like listening to that? >> i think it was great. it's very surprising. i never thought this would

happen. he's been telling me this for about a month or so. he said grandpa, you've just got to come out and be with me, so here i am. >> why was it so important for you to publicly say what you've been thinking about this guy all these years? >> you know, matt, as i mentioned in the video, he has been the man that really showed me how to be a man. and if it weren't for him, i wouldn't be as far as i am today. so i just wanted to publicly thank him and help make one of his dreams come true, as i mentioned. >> let's talk about that dream. demille has told us that one of the things you've always dreamed about is singing in front of a large group of people. >> that's true. >> what do you see when you look behind the camera there? >> i see a lot of folks out there. >> you see a large group of people? >> yeah. >> he's what we would like to do. demille, you're going to help. and charles, we thought it would be nice if you would sing the national anthem for this group of people right here.

i didn't know that was your voice. that was you, that last voice we heard. she looks like me. but yeah, that was me. >> where does that deep dark scratchy voice come from? >> i don't really know. we just thought the character was sort of, you know, rough around the edges, so we came up with that. >> i heard it hurt your throat. are you really suffering for your art? >> yes. i tend to do that. >> america, you kind of experimented with a couple different voices for your character, is that right? >> well, yeah. we were both in the first one. i've been voicing astrid in the tv show for cartoon network, so it's been seven years now of playing with this character and exploring it, and in this movie, they're five years older, so we got to play with aging them up and their voices, whatever that means. >> so we know you from "game day," of cour-- game of thrones. going into a booth by yourself

and having to act, that seems to me one of the most challenging things you have to do. >> it's quite solo. me and america did one little session together in new york, but other than that, you're working opposite the director, dean, who does all the voices opposite you. so he's kind of a split personality. >> this is getting great reviews. everybody says the story is kind of jaw-dropping. you look at it, it is absolutely beautiful. here's a segue. "bridesmaids." absolutely not connected to that at all. but kristen, we're so excited, we learned you're teaming up with your former director and writer for a new movie, not a sequel to "bridesmaids." can you tell me about it? >> there's not much to tell yet. >> come on. >> i'll come back and tell you another time. we're still in the developing process. but yeah, i'm very excited. >> chick movie. >> well, maybe. i don't know. maybe there's dragons in it. i don't know. see a segue. >> segue right back to that. okay, america, real quickly, i have to ask you about what

happened at cannes. what a creep. that's all i have to say about that. what did you think when you heard this guy struck again? >> i just -- you know, for me, i think it's just insane that he's getting the attention that he asked for. i think the best way to make these people go away is to not pay them attention. >> we'll start that right now. >> okay, thank you. >> and a real big "game of thrones" finale this weekend. >> it is, yeah. >> kit, we'll give us extra time if you just tell us everything that happens. >> i would never want to do that. i would never want to spoil it for you. but it's going to be a big one. on paper, it was my favorite episode of an entire four, five seasons. >> whoa. some shockers, right? >> yeah, some big shocks. >> and on that note. kristen wiig, america ferrera, kit harrington, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> the movie "how to train your dragon 2" is in theaters today. coming up next, segueing out. live concert on the plaza from train. but first

morning. let's get the forecast from meteorologist bill henley. >> good morning to carry an umbrella, and you'll need it again this afternoon. look at the misty conditions. that's the view from the adventure aquarium. not much of a view this morning. radar is improving. rainfall fell overnight and grew heavy downpours in chester and as far north as the lehigh valley. that's where flood warnings are in effect. showers and thunderstorms will be back after breaks of sunshine. and the temperatures, well, they're starting to climb. 75 in atlantic city. 74 in trenton. we're on target for 80s with occasional showers and thunderstorms that will continue into evening. this morning one person is dead after a fire ripped through a home in atlantic county. flames hit the house overnight. the victim's name has not yet been released. officials tell us a firefighter had to go to the hospital for minor injuries. right now investigators are looking for a cause. today philadelphia fire

commissioner lloyd ayers will officially retire after 40 years with the department he set a sample of sensitive respectful leadership into the committee. now to the latest on i-495 bridge closure. this afternoon the u.s. transportation secretary will be in wilmington to take a tour of the site. secretary fox will join jeff marquel and other officials to check on the work being done. the bridge had to be closed after a massive amount of dirt was suspected of causing the propellers to tilt. i'll see you in 25 minutes 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 drizzly friday morning here in new york city. it is friday the 13th, in case you didn't know. june 13th, 2014. the rain could not keep the crowds away from train. i'm willie geist along with al roker, natalie morales, tamron hall. we've got a big train hour coming up. >> yeah. >> we're going to talk to the guys. they're going to do another song

for us. >> i'm going to get on a train. >> you actually are going to get on a train. >> big train hour. but there's some news to report for you this morning and it goes back to sergeant bowe bergdahl. overnight, sergeant bergdahl arrived back on u.s. soil for the first time in five years. he arrived in texas aboard a military plane from germany. he has not been seen publicly yet, not expected to make any public appearances, but he is at brook army medical center in san antonio, which is a rehabilitation center. it's still unclear when bergdahl will see his parents. the army is scheduled to hold a press conference later this afternoon to discuss bergdahl's final phase of reintegration. he's got a lot to go through. he's done a lot in germany, they got him physically up and running and debriefed him a little bit, and now he'll go through the next phase. there is some news out this morning, it hasn't been independently verified by nbc, but the daily beast is reporting on some letters that sergeant bergdahl wrote to his parents, which was a little insight before his capture into his

state of mind. he did urge that no one judge him too quickly for his disappearance. this is before his capture. >> and he went on to say that the leadership was lacking, if not nonexistent at the afghanistan post where he was assigned. he said the conditions were bad. they looked to be getting worse for the men that were actually the ones risking their lives from attack. so hard to know what was going on, as we've said many times over. but clearly the reintegration process they'll get to. >> the big news is he is back home now with a lot more questions to answer. >> and a side bar, that facility in san antonio, applaud them. they do amazing work. so many of our men and women who are the most severely injured go to san antonio for treatment there. that staff, that medical center, there's nothing like it in the world. and he's there to get his treatment. it's an exceptional place. >> i was there for a story in the burn unit. and it is amazing what they were able to do. state of the art. meanwhile, on a different note, back here in this country, there's a little bit of -- some

are calling it an eyesore in chicago. that is up for debate. it's the trump building. but take a look at the sign. this is the sign on the 96-story trump hotel and tower in chicago, prompting a bit of a war of words between donald trump and mayor rahm emanuel. donald says it will be like the hollywood sign. he calls it -- it's an icon! >> it's designed with luxury in mind. >> it's huge, so it's an icon. it's part of the brand! rahm emanuel says it's an architecturally tasteful building, his words, scarred by an architecturally tasteless sign. >> oh, snap. >> trump hired this architect adrian smith, he has also criticized the sign. he called it an eyesore. trump has, of course, praised the sign. when matt interviewed him earlier this morning -- >> shocking. >> unbelievable. >> here's what he had to say. listen to mr. trump. >> this has turned out to be a great piece of architecture, a great thing for chicago. i do great buildings.

and if i like a building, if i like what's going on, if it's the right and appropriate thing, and if it enhances the building, i will do that. >> so, he will do that. >> the donald. >> the donald. we asked our viewers on our website today.com, what do you think of the trump sign. >> we did? >> our viewers approve the result, including me, i agree with this, say fine by me. it's within city ordinances. it's a 20-foot sign. 96-story building. it's about 1,300 feet tall. so one sixth of that are the letters on the building. >> but it's the most beautiful stretch of place. i lived in chicago ten years. along the chicago river, marina tower, the wrigley. but it is in the middle of sheer beauty. but things change from time to time. >> is it the sign or is it the name? >> it's the name. >> i bet it's a combo. >> if it said wrigley, or something else, would people be that upset? >> no. >> but it doesn't fit in.

right near there, you see the wrigley building, and the boat tour, by the way, i'm plugging that. the boat tour in chicago, you have to do the boat tour in chicago. but that is a beautiful stretch of chicago right along the magnificent mile. i do think it is interesting the difference in new york and chicago, because a sign just about that size is outside of his trump building on 57th street and everyone takes pictures in front. in chicago, they're like, wait a minute now. >> on top of this building, ge, big letters. >> fewer letters. >> if you drive up the west side highway after 57th street, it's trumpville. >> guess what. we're all talking about donald trump. which is what he loves. >> i think the city of chicago will survive this one. >> it is a pretty good showdown, rahm emanuel versus donald trump. it makes me think of the mtv -- they had claymation fights. >> i didn't do the math. i said one sixth of the building. that's not right. but still.

>> you're good. >> it's friday. here's one of the questions of the day. what would you rather? would you rather battle your way through a busy airport, or stand in line at the dmv, the department of motor vehicle? >> i have to go with the airport. >> i go dmv. >> i go airport. we're split here. a new cnbc survey says, 42% believe the dmv is worse than the airport. 40% say a packed airport is worse than the dmv. 12% say equally bad. so we are split. >> how many times are you at a dmv? i guess once every four years? >> once every four years leaves you traumatized. >> a lot of us are taking flights every day. >> the good news is you get on a plane after and you get someplace nice. where the dmv -- >> go home with a bad taste in your mouth. >> i cheat a little bit. maybe you guys do, too. there's that dmv express on 34th street. >> it is the greatest. >> a much quicker process. >> now you can go online as well and fill it out there. but i did equate it to asking

someone, do you want a cockroach or a grubworm for breakfast. >> disgusting. >> that's the point. they're both disgusting things to do. >> here's the thing that frustrates me at the airport. four possible lines. and you have a huge crowd snaking around laguardia and they have one lane open. could we open another lane? could we open a third lane? and everyone's moving very slowly. could we have a little urgency? >> when you're on a shift change, that's the worst. >> i think we shouldn't talk too much trash. >> i'm headed to an airport today. >> i respect the tsa. when they see a line forming, maybe they could be like the apple store. open up and get more associates out. >> i try to get fondled as much by the guy. >> you go back through. >> i just go out on a friday afternoon. just get in line. >> eye contact and smiling. so when the line is really long, i give the puss in boots eyes. >> the big stare.

>> do you leave your sword at home? >> just the boots. that's how we get to the line. >> okay, as we mentioned earlier, it's friday the 13th. triskaidekaphobia. there you go. and we had a full moon overnight. >> strawberry moon. >> also known as the honey moon. this is a photo over germany. >> beautiful. >> and then we've got one from melbourne, australia. take a look at that. >> it's the same moon, you know. >> no, it's different. did you see "star wars"? there are two moons. >> i feel so knowledgeable. >> i thought that was the death star, actually. i didn't know what that was. >> i think you overestimate their chances. a full moon hasn't coincided with friday the 13th since 2000. it's not going to happen again until 2014. >> 2049. >> 2049. that's what i meant. it's 2014 right now.

i'll stay in the present. just before i go to tsa. >> you can tell it's a friday around here. >> you guys, any superstitions? >> i think we're all pretty -- you're not? >> not on friday the 13th. i'm flying today, i can't be superstitious. >> i will touch the plane. >> play like a champion today? >> i have beads that i bought when i was at the vatican, blessed by pope francis, so rosary beads. so i do touch them before i come on the show every morning. >> is that superstition or faith? >> i think it's saying a silent prayer. >> it's a combo. >> what do you got, tamron? >> i don't put my purse on the floor because they tell you if you put your handbag on the floor, you'll be broke, you'll lose money. >> dirty, too. >> that's like a feng shui thing. >> i thought that was another one of your texas things. i love texas. and your texas-isms. >> me and dan rather. yeah, that's a good one. what else is there? they say if you want your baby

to be cute, wipe their face in urine. >> that was the one! >> they did that to me. >> people from texas said, oh, that is not texas. that is tamron. >> just your mom saying i don't know what to do. >> natalie, don't talk about my mom. >> we've got some heavy showers and thunderstorms making their way to montgomery. we've had some activity through houston. as you look, the clouds in houston, texas. montgomery, alabama, some clouds. look for thunderstorms later this afternoon in montgomery. some of those could be strong. we've also got severe storms today, damaging winds, hail likely. tomorrow we're worried about a much wider area, from minneapolis to childress. but we've got a strong risk of storms from parts of kansas all the way into iowa, where we could see tornados likely in that orange area and a lot of heavy rain anywhere from one to three inches from omaha on

good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. don't forget your umbrella. we're seeing showers this morning. thunderstorms likely this afternoon with some breaks of sunshine to warm us into the the 80s. some showers still around thp evening. may affect the phillies/cubs game. then we clear out for the weekend. saturday and sunday looking good. father's day up to 84 degrees with plenty of sunshine and sunny skies on monday. then here comes heat, humidity and the chance of showers and thunderstorms starting on tuesday. have a great day. >> that's your latest weather. i was wondering what was in that itemizer of yours. >> it's a mist. a fine mist. >> it's true. if you wipe your baby's face with urine, the baby's going to be cute. >> don't try that at home, people. willie is set to be a judge for the ultimate men's health search -- healthy guy search, is that right? >> yes, it is. the winner is going to appear on the november cover of "men's health" magazine. they're looking for a physically fit guy, but that's not all.
