>> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb live from studio 1a from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. hello, everybody, it's monday, june 13 and that is "i'll be home soon" brand new song by country star craig morgan honoring our servicemen and women. he'll be performing it for us in a little bit. >> he's such a tremendous singer, he served in the military himself and now he's back and writing with friends so it will be nice to hear him. then we're also going to -- from the new sitcom "uncle buck" actress nia long will join us. we have the latest in entertainment news in today's

buzz. >> yes. but of course everybody is talking about the orlando mass shooting and so many aspects of it, we're learning so much now but it's just heartbreaking on every level. >> there's so many things. we're talking about how the shooter's picture is being shown over and over and he's taking selfies and all that sort of stuff. >> almost a glorification of him. >> it does make you nauseous and when you look back at signs -- because this always happens, wherever we talk about a shooting. >> we say "how could they have missed it?" >> the ex-wife said he was abusive, the co-worker said he was all kinds of racist and homophobic. you look back and hear about his life and the fbi investigated him three times and you think how could that possibly happen. >> help the you find out he's a security guard. >> right. and was licensed to carry and all that stuff. here's the interesting thing. wherever you see something horrible and terrible like this, all the stories of heroism come

o out, don't they? >> oh, gosh. first of all the 11 policemen who responded first and then my favorite thing to see in the midst of the carnage was the hundreds and hundreds of people lined up to give blood on a very hot steamy orlando day. they're saying "that's the one thing i can do. i can do that." because you feel so helpless in situations like this. >> john oliver did something on his show when he said when you look at the one -- and then he used an expletive. but he said hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people line the block around the corner and he basically was saying "buddy, you're outnumbered." flags were flying at half-staff at the white house and as you have heard over and over, this is the deadliest mass shooting in u.s. history and the orlando eye was lit in rainbow colors and the world trade also changed to a rainbow and the empire state building went dark. in tel aviv the city hall changed its lights to the

rainbow flag colors and that happened in toronto and in front of city hall. anyway, this is one of those things that you hear about it and shake your head and think what in the heck is going on? >> honestly, i don't know why people are surprised anymore. this is what they say they're going to do, they said where they were going to do it and they said when, in the month of ramadan. so i -- sadly it's becoming so common even though this was the biggest and the worst. it's -- you know, we have to pay attention to these signs. >> yes. we do have to pay attention. so our thoughts and prayers, as we were saying, go out to the families of those who lost. >> and people still suffering in the hospital. >> many people may not make it out of the hospital. so lord have mercy on us all. it was kind of hard to watch the tony's after that last night. but we always do pick up and continue with life and so many people's lives were de-pendent

on that tony award, what shows make it, what shows have to close if they didn't get a tony. there's a lot of drama. >> james corden was really good. in the beginning of something like that you wonder how on earth could you possibly is that right show. >> he did it perfectly. >> they didn't stewart the bear bells and whistles. they opened with james corden's back to the audience. >> all we can say is you are not on your own. your tragedy is our tragedy. theater is a place where every race, creed, sexuality and gender is equal, is embraced, and is loved. hate will never win. together we have to make sure of that. tonight's show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that principle. this is the tony awards. >> i thought that was perfect then he went on to do the opening number and everybody wondered what he would do and he was brilliant. >> he was. >> there was something new about

the tony's last night. not just that james i think is a perfect host. >> he was great. >> but i loved when they would take the other cast outside on the street for just a few -- like 30 seconds. they would sing a number from somebody else's show and then tease their upcoming performance. the joy and the exuberance that -- they get to make their living doing what they love to do. >> and the fans were outside so they weren't performing -- sometimes you must be performing scared instead they were outside and you felt like they were letting it rip out there. when lin-manuel miranda. as you know "hamilton" won a ton of awards. >> they won 11 out of the 16 they were nominated for. >> he got up to accept the award i think for best score. you wondered what he was going to say. he pulled out a piece of paper and he said he didn't want to free style so take a look at his speech. >> when senseless acts of tragedy remind us that nothing here is promise, hope and love lasts longer and love is love is

love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside. >> yeah, that was -- >> i only watched about an hour and 15 minutes of it because i had the week friend you know where. >> you were quite the busy one, weren't you? >> i don't usually feel my age but this weekend was -- >> what did you do? >> the friday night was the change maker honoree reception for the greenwich international film festival. free freda pinto was given an award. >> isn't she gorgeous? >> they are artists that used their public platform for a positive social change. >> wow. where was that? >> at richard's where matt and al go and get their gorgeous clothes. they made it -- the first event was held at the jewelers and this one -- that's trud trudy s.

>> time to taps the brakes. >> today is a special day. >> it's my niece's birthday. she's six today so can we say happy birthday! >> there she is. she wanted confetti, i told her she was going to have it that's joel and hannah. >> she's six now, right? >> she's six today. >> she's beautiful. >> look at her with her cute hair and glasses. so the queen of england -- >> ella, you think you're the only one with a birthday? >> the queen turned 90 back in april. >> i was saying, this has been going on forever. >> how about this? she decided she was going to wear a trend key color so we want to know what you guys think. >> yeah. >> so she chose -- >> oh! >> wow! >> that's neon. that is some kind of neon. >> that's really kelly green, isn't it. >> wow, what is happening? i don't know. >> i don't know. it's -- >> neon at 09 is the hashtag on twitter. >> green is the color of life.

>> she looks great. >> well, we thought no one could upstage the queen but here she came, charlotte. hey! >> oh, my gosh. >> and look at kate, how darling she looks. >> that's a beautiful family. look at the prince just cut right out. >> they're like the male and female of the same child, aren't they? cody and cassidy were like that. just different plumbing. >> different plumbing.

i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.
