the last century. >> someone you deeply loved and admired. what a privilege to have known him a little bit. >> as we've been mourning the loss of ali over the weekend, it's been gratifying to hear the wonderful things that people are saying about him. not just talking about their love for him but recognizing the controversial side of muhammad ali, as well. that's our top story this morning. muhammad ali has returned home. the body of the boxing legend is back home in louisville, kentucky, where a public memorial will take place a little later this week. national correspondent, craig melvin, in lieu i have. the city and the world celebrating the life of its native son. craig, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. i've had a chance to talk to some of the thousands who stopped by this makeshift memorial over the days, dropping off cards,

gloves. tremendous sadness that the greatest is gone. the people are pleased they will have a chance to say good-bye to today's favorite son. this morning, the champ is home. muhammad ali's body arrived late sunday. friday, a public memorial service is planned for the heavyweight champ. known for his charisma, wit -- >> i am the greatest. >> reporter: -- and resolve in and out of the ring, muhammad ali will be laid to rest in his hometown, with a low procession, circling the city. it will wind through the neighborhood where he grew up and make its way down the street bearing his name. the 74-year-old died late friday from septic shock, due to unspecified natural causes. over the weekend, tributes poured in. on social media, celebrities, including paul mccartney,

buzz aldrin, expressed their condolen condolences. and this picture of a defiant ali over sonny liston. saying, quote, he shook up the world and the world is better for it. rest in peace, champ. late sunday, a memorial service at the louisville islamic center paid tribute to ali as a man of faith. before he was the world's greatest, he was a son of louisvil louisville. ali learned how to box just blocks from this boxing gym. >> everyone you think kentucky, you think muhammad ali. >> reporter: his life outside the ring influenced roger purdy, who plans to become a doctor. >> you can do great things and you can change the world. and he did. >> reporter: at the muhammad ali center, a museum and cultural

thousands have made their own memorial. he became exponentially bigger than boxing. whose good spirit inspired millions, fought to the very end. his daughter, hana, sharing an emotional post on instagram saying, all of his organs failed. but his heart wouldn't stop beating for 30 minutes. his heart just kept beating. before that fight with george foreman in '74, a fight no one thought he was going to win, he gave one of his famous one-liners, promising to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. another tribute, albeit an odd one popped up here hours after word of his death spread. a swarm of bees took root in

the ali center. a beekeeper telling me, that has never, ever happened. >> that's fitting, craig melvin. thank you very much. muhammad ali's daughter, laila joins us now. laila, good morning. our condolences. >> good morning. thank you. >> how are you doing? how is the family doing? >> we're sad. i personally have been sad for a long time. my father has been struggling for parkinson's disease many year. and it's not easy, wasn't easy, to watch him suffer. knowing that he's not suffering anymore gives me comfort. i had prepared mentally for many years, one day i was going to lose my father. and the time has come. and i think the whole world is sad. anybody who loved him, and so many do. i don't feel alone. it's not just our family. it's the whole world. >> it's going to take so many people of the world, not just americans, love him and revere

and feel like they know him. and yet, you know him from a vantage point so few do, as your father. tell us about that side of him. >> well, my father -- there isn't much that people don't know about my dad. he's pretty much an open book. he treated kids he didn't know the same as he treated us, with how much love he showed. you see him picking up kids and kissing babies. he always puts children first. and a lot of the work he's done is humanitarian work is about making sure that kids have a brighter future. so, he was a loving father. he gave us anything we wanted, now that i'm a parent, that isn't always good. he was a spoiler. but you know, that's what i remember. just being kissed and hugged and him being that person. give you anything you want. >> there was a kid that wa

piece living in louisville. he said, what i learned is you can do great things and change the world. the constant throughout his entire life was the unwavering belief in himself. where do you think he got that? >> i don't know. i have that same belief. and i feel like it was passed down to me. where he got it, i don't know. it was a pass down to him from somewhere. i think a lot of it comes from just having someone in your life that kind of puts that idea in your head that you can do whatever it is you want to do. my parents did it for me. my mom did. there's parents that tell their kids they can't do something. and they put that fear in their head. when you go out and you're willing to work hard, and you put in the work, you do what you thought you could o, it gives you confidence to keep going. that holds people back in life. i'm glad that child, among others, were inspired by

father. that's what they need, inspiration from others, to make you strong where they're not naturally strong. >> you talked about the suffering, laila. you said it was tough to watch. do you think your dad had grown weary of this fight? he was such a fighter. had he grown weary of this fight with parkinson's? >> that would be hard to answer that question. never to the point he wanted to move on. i know my father, one of the things he was afraid of was death. he wouldn't want to just move on. we're not in control. god is in control. and everything is written. and it was time for him to go. and i know he's in a better place now. and he's taking again and moving again and doing all of the things he couldn't do in his body. i'm happy for that. even though i will miss him deeply. >> i want to close by asking about your

conway jr. we should put up a picture of him. it's striking how much he bares a resemblance to his grandfather. i wonder if that's a comfort to you and what you plan to tell him about his grandfather? >> my son is a spitting image of my father when he was young. he has so many of the same characteristics and qualities. he's going to live on through him. he is learning more and more how special papa was. it's hard for me to break the news to them. i told them this morning that he went on to heaven. and it's hard to explain to a 5-year-old and 7-year-old about that. so, that was a challenge for me the first time i ever had to do it. but they're doing well. and i'm going to be here to support them and stay strong for them. >> laila, i know how proud your dad was of you. and our condolences. we mourn with you and your family. thank you very much. >> thanks for all of the love. i

bob costas will join us for more on the legacy of muhammad ali. donald trump under fire for comments about the federal judge on the trump university lawsuit. this as hillary clinton and bernie sanders get ready to battle it out in california. peter joins us this morning. >> with a win this weekend, hillary clinton in puerto rico, all but assured she will wrap up the democratic nomination tomorrow night, setting up for a tight with donald trump that's already under way. trump, in the face of blistering criticism, a lot from republicans, over attacks of the mexican-american judge. not softening his stance but intensifying it. hillary clinton looking past bernie sanders in california, hammering away at her rli

rival. >> donald trump is not qualified or temperamentally fit to be commander in chief. >> reporter: clinton, not mincing words. >> we're trying to elect a president, not a dictator. >> reporter: donald trump, stirring new outrage, arguing his ethnically-based criticism of the mexican-american judge overseeing his case, would apply to religion. saying that muslim judge would treat him up fairly -- >> that is possible, yes. >> reporter: as for judge gonzalo curiel, born in indiana, he is refusing to step back from his attacks. >> he's society of mexican. i want to build a wall. i'm doing well with the latinos, with the hispanics. i'm doing well with them, in my opinion. >> reporter: trump's comments, widely viewed as

prompting republicans to reject his words while supporting his campaign. >> all of us came from somewhere else. >> reporter: an from two men that have been floated as possible v.p. picks. senator bob corker on trump's behavior. >> i think he has to change. >> reporter: and newt gingrich. >> this is one of the worst mistakes that trump has made. >> reporter: at the start of the holy month of ramadan, president obama is extending his best wishes to muslims in the u.s. and around the world, adding this pointed contrast to trump. i stand firmly with muslim-american communities and rejection of the voices that would seek to divide us or limit our religious freedoms or civil rights. meanwhile, trump is reversing his stance on u.s. military intervention in libya, saying he would have authorized strikes to take out moammar qadd

take him out. >> reporter: a shift from the primary. >> we would be better off if gadhafi were in charge right now. >> reporter: it's increasingly likely that neither donald trump or hillary clinton will face an independent party challenger coming up this fall. but writer david french, whose name was recently floated as a possible third party pick, has decided not to make a bid. writing in an op-ed, i'm not the right person to challenge trump and hillary. but the path remains open for others. matt and savannah? >> peter alexander on politics. let's look to tropical storm colin, along the east coast. millions will start to feel the effects this morning. kerry sanders in clearwater beach. good morning to you. >> the lines have been coming through squall lines. and some cases, the winds are up to 50 miles per

that's knocked out power to 5,200 people in the tampa bay region. we look to the north and you see the strong rains and the wind. there can be up to eight inches of rain. the n.o.a.a. service, hurricane hunter, in the gulf of mexico, snapped an amazing photograph. you can see the waterspout off of the right wing. that suggests that there could be more tornadoes associated with tropical storm colin here. most schools are open. they expect that business will continue. a lot of sandbagging and concern over the next two or three days of possible flooding. >> kerry sanders. thanks very much. >> that's the calm before the storm. >> this is a lopsided storm. the heaviest amount of rain is on the

it's making its way into florida. 50-mile-per-hour winds, moving north-northeast, at 14 miles per hour. right now, we have tropical storm warnings along the gulf. inland, we have flash flood watches through monday, maybe even extended on into tomorrow. here's what we got today. look at this system. by 1:00 p.m. this afternoon, 50-mile-per-hour winds, just off the florida coast. make landfall some time late tonight. by 2:00 a.m., it's along the eastern georgia coast. and gets pushed out with winds of about 60 miles per hour. as kerry mentioned, we cannot rule out tornadoes because there's a lot of instability and a lot of warm, moist air. that's what's going on around the country. going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds.

good morning. i'm storm team 4 chuck bell. we're off to a bright and sunny start in washington. mid-60s. and 70 in college park. 71 downtown. your forecast for today, it will be a beautiful day to be outside. it will be toasty-warm. afternoon highs, mid to upper 80s. sunshine coming our way. rain showers coming up tomorrow. but tomorrow's rain chance stands at 30%. after that, we turn cooler and drier for the middle of the week. >> wednesday, up with eight inches of rain, all the way up to cape hatteras.

matt? savann savannah? we get ready to say good-bye to the greatest. we're joined by bryant gumbel and nbc's bob costas with their thoughts on the life and legacy of muhammad ali. i spent the weekend worrying about if the younger generation get it. he has been silent for three decades. >> bob was just sitting there, as we're watching melvin's piece. and i said, you realize that you're talking about the rumble in the jungle, somebody can be 45 years old and not have seen it. >> yeah. >> there really has been -- >> when he was cassius clay. and by the way, just as a side note, a lot of what ali said was profound. some of it was hyperbolic. when he said that cassius clay was a slave name, that was ironic because the oig

cassius clay was a white abolitionist, who was shot by a pro-slavery guy in the 1940s. that dun mean that ali didn't do what he did for good reasons. but cassius clay was an abolitionist. >> to go back to the point, now, everyone reveres him. now, everyone loves him and adores him and the temptation is to have this portrait. let's set it in its time. how radical. how controversial. and how expensive it was for him to do in the '60s, standing up to the war. >> it was not only expensive to him financially. and it was expensive to him in terms of his image. it's easy to say everybody embraced him and everybody loved him. but he did a variety of things that turned off a great portion of america. and i'm not just talking about dividing along racial lines. when he walked away from malcolm x. he turned his back on malcolm x. he lived to regret it and said later he wish he hadn't.

he vilified joe frazier in a way that today he would also be vilified. not always did he take a step that was applauded. often, quite contrary. >> wh you look at the sports of today and the sports figures and the money at stake, do you think we will see any athlete take the risk that we saw muhammad ali take? will we see an athlete activist like him again? >> doubtful. he was a remarkable individual. and it was a confluence of the individual and the times that produces. i don't know if you will get that combination of circumstances anymore. now, seems like everything is about branding. ali, mistakes and greatness taken together, he was authentic. >> i would argue, it would be tough to find somebody who approached his level of his platform. the height of his platform. his reach.

you can say lebron james, and his fame is considerable, but compared to muhammad ali, is almost nonexistent. >> when muhammad ali came on the scene in the '60s and '70s, boxing was mainstream. most americans haven't seen floyd mayweather fight. most americans can't tell you who the heavyweight champion of the world is. you would see the whole fight on nbc. some of the fights were on abc live. people saw this stuff. they knew who joe frazier was. >> you're going to speak at the memorial. what a great honor. >> it is a terrific honor. i would be lying if i told you it wasn't daunting. >> you will do well. bryant, bob. more to come on the life and death of muhammad ali, as we look at his impact outside of the ring. we're going to talk to football great, jim brown. first, this is "today" on nbc.

like civil rights. >> everything in society was made white. we look at jesus, we see a white man with blonde hair and blue eyes. we look at the angels and see white with blonde hair and blue eyes. if the colored folks die and go to heaven, where are the colored angels? they must be in the kitchen, making milk and honey. >> reporter: on politics, ali was extraordinary. and his legacy, indelible. >> david remnick wrote a definitive book on ali. and jim brown of the cleveland browns, long-time friend of the champ. good to have you both with us. this is one of the moments where the words legend, icon, are thrown around. i love what you told our producer. in the case of muhammad ali, the legend is true. >> it's all true. all of the contradictions. at that time, very few people stood up for

jim brown is one of them. kareem abdul-jabbar was one of them. we think of him and quieted by parkinson's, this was an electrifying, radical, politically radical figure. it makes news when lebron james puts on a shirt to protest and legitimately to protest the killing of young black men in the street. he takes it off and he plays. muhammad ali lost three years-plus of his career, in an office we don't think about anymore, the heavyweight champion of the world. nobody knows who that is. >> jim, david sets me up perfectly. it's nice to see you. during that time and throughout much of his life, you were an unwavering friend of muhammad ali's. but when he said he wouldn't go to vietnam and wouldn't join the military, there were a lot of people in this country that thought he was using his religion as an excuse.

summit of people like bill russell and kareem abdul-jabbar. and you grilled ali. talk to me about it. >> well, i felt that he was a great friend and that his philosophy was right on. any american would want to enjoy freedom and justice. me and john wooten, a teammate on the cleveland browns, called together the black athletes of the country. i called them to cleveland to meet with him and see if he was sincere. if he was sincere, we would back him 100%. ali came in. came to the house the night before. we discussed it the next day. we had about a five-hour meeting. and he was asked every question you can ask a human being. and he cracked jokes and answered everything

genuinely. we came out of there as a unit, totally behind him and his actions. and later on, he won because i guess the supreme court reversed its decision. >> jim, over the years -- >> it was a great time. >> -- over the years, people have asked me a question, because they know how much i idolized him. they said, do you think that muhammad ali at that period of his life disliked white people? are you surprised by the question? and how would you answer it? >> absolutely not. he fought for human rights. and the great thing about him is he had a wonderful heart. but he hated discrimination. those of you who consider ourselves warriors, the number one thing that we had in this country was discrimination, racism. dehumanizing acts against a person because of the color of their skin. he hated

and i was in england with him once. we were at a party with some english young ladies. and he was having a wonderful time. and i said, ali, i thought you disliked white folks. kiddingly, saying that to him. he said no, just the americans. the english people are not really white. he comes up with these kind of things, to take the edge off of how he truly felt about racism. i hated racism. any black person in america had to look at racism as dehumanizing and something that we had to get rid of. >> and as i turn to you, david, let's not forget about the sports figure himself, the boxer. and yet, did he have misgivings about that sport. i noticed you wrote this weekend. ali was not blind to the brutalities of the game that has been

but race was often an ugly element of its history, david. >> it wasn't lost on him, david, that a lot of the post-war boxing and during the entire 20th century, was a white crowd watching two black men beat the hell out of each other, often senseless. look, he said things and behaved in ways that were contradictory. he was the champion of that sport and had doubts about it. in the nation of islam, they talked about separatism. and he had an integrated corner. his cornermen, some of them were white. he was an enormous urge toward pride, toward the pride of the black community. not the denigration of the white community. but in fact, it was the white community, the white power structures of the time, that he grew up in, in segregated louisville. and he rebelled against, quite logically, and he used the office of the heavyweight championship, which is nothing now, to be a symbol of strength

that's something that i don't think will ever be repeated. >> and boxing is how he said, that's how i was introduced to the world. >> that's how he advanced. >> david remnick. jim brown, perhaps we'll see you in louisville at the end of the week, i hope. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for your time, we appreciate it. david, thank you. we'll shift gears now. we have al at the weather wall with a check of the weather. >> thanks so much, savannah. we're talking heat out west. the wildfires right now, they're not going to get much relief in the humidity or temperatures. wednesday, up the 87 degrees. it will stay warm. temperatures 10 to 25 degrees above average. vegas by wednesday. 110. 109 in phoenix. phoenix, third day in a row they broke a record. the heat will start to shift east. but in the meantime later this week, finally starting to see a break. portland, by saturday. 68. 88 in sacramento.

calcium deposit in the heart arteries. >> if you have calcification in your breasts, there's a good likelihood that you have calcification in the arteries that take blood to the heart. >> until now, most doctors ignored findings like this on a mammogram because it's rarely cancer. a new way to use existing technology for a double-dose of prevention. nbc news medical contributor, dr. natalie azores here. >> it opens the door to an additional screening. >> it does. as we talked about before the segment, i plan on asking my mammographer to look for it on my next mammogram. we talked about whether or not it would be standard of care. there is no consensus whether or not this should be done repeatedly and routinely. certainly, the researchers are

looking at a breast exam, a mammogram, you can see calcification of the breast arteries? is that right? >> exactly. >> that's an indicator you might have heart disease. >> they found the number, 70%, the women who were found to have the calcification in the breast arteries, 70% had coronary artery calcification. and that's significant because coronary addressry calcification is one of the earliest signs of heart disease. >> can i ask them to look at this? is that anything any radiologist can see? >> it's easy to see with the naked eye. there's a correlation you can see there. there's a correlation between how much calcification is seen on the mammogram on those arteries and how much is on the c.a.t. scan, the image modality

calcification gets a score on the mammogram and gets a score on the c.a.t. scan of the heart. and someone could do a casual reading of it. once it becomes in the body of the report of the mammogram, there's certainly -- not a liability. but a responsibility to follow that up. and i think that's kind of the inherent message here. that we may be picking up heart disease in a-symptomatic women, that wouldn't be getting screened for cardiovascular disease with this test they're already getting done. that makes it appealing to health care providers and those of us who undergo the tests. >> it's like point of entry. if you see the calcification, that's step one. you should -- >> exactly. then, you follow-up with your primary care doctor. the risk factors

mental stress, belly fat, triglyceri triglycerides. if they have these calcifications, what next steps need tt neo evaluate them for cardiovascular disease? >> it's an exciting development. >> thank you. coming up next, a tribute to the greatest. remembering muhammad ali. this is "today" on nbc.

we're back now on this monday morning. all morning long, we have been reflecting on the life and the legacy of muhammad ali. over the years, we've found ourselves cheering for him, we were all inspired by him. and now, we end the half hour by paying tribute to the greatest of all-time. >> i am the king of the world. i'm pretty. >> you're not that pretty. >> i'm a bad man. >> it looks like this exciting 20-year-old is on his way to the heavyweight championship. >> tell him, what are we going to do? >> float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. oh. >> who do you think the champ is? >> ali. >> i'm pretty as a girl. i don't get hit. i don't get hit, i'm so pretty.

cassius clay was my slave name. i'm no longer a slave. >> what does it mean? >> muhammad means worthy of all things. and ali means most high. >> i hold you all of my critics, i told you all that i was the greatest of all-time. when i beat sonny listen. i told you today, i'm still the greatest of all-time. >> my intention is to box to win a clean fight. but in war, the intention is to kill, kill, kill, kill and continue killing innocent people. >> i'm the greatest fighter of all-time. >> i'm the king. and you'll never take my crown. >> in a bruising and brutal fight, that ended with joe frazier sitting in his corner, the winner, ali, is still the heavyweight champion of the world. >> i'm not just the champion. i'm ranked as the greatest champion of all-time.

people look for miracles. people look for surprises of all-time. but the greatest wonder, the greatest miracle, the greatest surprise is to be found in one's heart. >> the champion is suffering from a disorder of the nervous system that's slurred his speed and slowed his motion. >> how are you feeling? >> i'm good. >> a great, great presence. exuding nobility and stature. >> the united states honors muhammad ali. [ applause ]

news 4 today begins with breaking news. >> we begin with breaking news at 8:56 on this monday, june 6th, 2016. metro's first commute for safetrack program is having a rocky start. let's check in with kristin wright. >> it has been tough for some people. the people behind me have been waiting a couple of

we have seen big delays and big crowds this morning. we got on to one train this morning. an orange line train, towards new carrollton, standing room only. barely able to squeeze on to the train. tomorrow, people say they're going to leave a lot earlier. jack taylor is standing by with traffic. >> we have a new problem with the orange-line train. they have a door problem. they had to empty that problem. it will have the empty train, waiting. we have a closure at 108, with a downed tree. george washington, trying to move an accident out of the roadway. >> we're going to take a quick break. we'll check the forecast when we come back. stay with us.

good morning, everybody. after a fairly nice finish to the weekend yesterday, outside of the thunderstorms last evening, it's turned into a beautiful monday. temperatures are warming up quickly, though. 77 in washington. 75 in manassas. high temperatures will be up near 87 degrees. plenty of warmth to go along with the sunshine. a nice night for going out. barbecue in the backyard. and your favorite sidewalk

mid-70s. >> chuck, thank you. we set up a safetrack section on the nbc washington app. you can see the closures and the stations will be impacted. search safetrack. rockefeller welcome to "today" on june 6th, 2016. i'm al, good morning. with the world's greatest,

>> yeah. from the soundtrack of the movie "ali." and it is one of the most beautiful songs. i kept listening to it all weekend long, after we got the news. and it is -- just beautiful. >> just beautiful. >> right. we're going to be honoring him in just a little bit. first, obviously, weekends and things that we got to do. al, you had a really special weekend. >> yeah. we had a fun weekend. >> hanging out with your bud. >> the vice president and dr. biden hold this little thing. i got some stuff in my teeth. they hold this thing. it's called the biden beach boardwalk bash. saturday, on the grounds of their home. at the naval observatory. and they set up -- like a beach. they have all of these inflatable toys and stuff going on. it's for the washington press corps and the kids. and the vice president and dr. biden get out there with water

just a spectacular time. >> did you get in a water gun fight with vice president biden? >> they open up their home. >> it's just so sweet. it's a special award. >> spelman college, i got the spirit founder award, from spelman college. great women there. that's the award they gave me. they commissioned it. it's stunning. when i came home, i thought, i have to put it. >> it's like artwork. >> it's numbered and everything. beautiful. please forgive me. the artist name escapes me. it is absolutely stunning. thank you to spelman college for that. >> it was beautiful. >> going back to the news over the weekend. of course, i think we woke up saturday morn

late friday night into saturday morning, you heard about it early. just to the sadness, the world has lost a legend. legend is a world that gets used a lot. as bryant gumbel said earlier, it's truly -- so many of us grow up not knowing his fights. when i was a young kid, i knew what his legend was. i didn't necessarily watch his fights. >> not old enough. i remember when he was cassius clay and remembered when he renounced that name and took muhammad ali. it was an electric time. and the idea that somebody he truly is a superstar. when the world heavyweight championship actually meant something, it was mainstream. >> it was. >> and for him to have that stripped for three years. and then, to come back again. >> right. >>

to be an activist. and humanitarian. and it really was -- if anything comes out of this, hopefully younger people will -- you know, as parkinson's ravaged him, he became quiet. still active. but not in the forefront. >> thankfully, we have so much video of him, from when he beat sonny liston, on and on. thank you, guys. i think we talked about this before. i got into tv because of joe frazier and his partner, my first tv job. and their relationship. it was tumultuous. but at the end of joe's life, they made peace with each other. and i think that whether you're in the boxing community or outside of it, his legend is so -- it's -- i think jim brown said it best. the onlyin

discrimination. and the young people are focusing on now, especially at such a divisive time. whether it's political or the global crisis is. that's what the kids get from him. >> a man who was controversial in his time, as well. you can't gloss over that. >> and on the right side. >> and the critics were on the wrong side. and in the end, we remember his right over their wrongs. >> and you think about him in a pre-internet age. he was social media. where he went, there wasn't a corner of the world that muhammad ali could not go and be recognized and mobbed. and loved. >> did you see the interview. i have senior brain today. someone was flying over with muhammad ali. and he said, look at these lights down there. these are homes. i would walk into any of the

am. it is the impact that this man, he moved the world. he was the most and still is the most famous athlete in the world. i remember living in brazil, he was the cover on every, during all of those fights, during that time. his body was flown back to louisville over the weekend. a public memorial service is planned for friday. president clinton, bryant gumbel, billy crystal, eulogizing him, as well. everybody speaking of his legend and greatness. president obama tweeted out, he shook up the world and the world is better for it. rest in peace, champ. george foreman and hana ali, my heart goes out to you. muhammad ali has been a fine man that will never die. "sports illustrated" sharing all of the 40 covers ali appeared on. along with michael jordan, one of the most-photographed people on the cover.

and portions of hana ali's tweet. i saw this tweet over the weekend. it touched me. she said all of his organs failed but his heart wouldn't stop beating for 30 minutes. his heart kept beating. that says so much. and earlier this morning on "today," his daughter, laila, spoke with matt and savannah. >> i have been personally sad for a long time. my father has been struggling with parkinson's disease many years. it wasn't easy to watch him suffer. knowing he's not suffering anymore is what gives me comfort. you know, i prepared mentally for many years. obviously, one day, i was going to lose my father. and the time has come. the whole world is sad. anybody that loved him, and so many people do. i don't feel alone. it's not just our family. it's the whole world. >> i want

about curtis muhammad conway jr. it is really striking how much he bares a resemblance to his grandfather. and i wonder if that's a comfort to you and what you plan to tell him about his grandfather. >> oh, definitely. my son is a spitting image of my father when he was young. he has so many of the same characteristics and qualities. he's going to live on through him. he's learning more and more as he gets older how special papa was. >> he does look exactly like his grandpa. it's amazing. >> i remember in '86. >> talking about our favorite memories. >> i was there, the opening ceremonies, when he lit that flame. it was electric. >> how do you describe the crowd's areaction? how do you describe that crowd? >> everybody, this ground swell of love, going out in admiration.

in a way. >> even though the parkinson's, his body was tumbling, his strength and his fire, still so -- >> it was the embodiment of the olympic flame. the olympic spirit. really unbelievable. >> a weird thing happened to me on friday night. i was at the awards ceremony for spelman college. they had an auction to raise money for spelman college students. and i bought, unbeknownst to me, a photograph of ali and frazier, and the shorts signed by ali, ken norton, frazier, mike tyson. i was donating it to the scholarship fund for kids that could not go. and the next morning, we hear this. isn't that weird? unbelievable. his legacy is going to go on. >> this weekend, there was a big outdoor

>> and kanye west was supposed to be the headliner. >> for the last night. >> for the last night, which was last night. big storms rolled through new york. they canceled it, wisely, because there's no way to get people off. >> safely. >> it would have gone from gov ball to mud ball. they canceled. word started to get out that there was going to be a surprised performance at webster hall. >> webster hall, in the middle of new york city. you have probably not seen it. a concert venue in a lot of locals go to. >> people start showing up. thousands of people packing the streets. >> kanye tweeted a little cryptic tweet, right? what did he tweet? >> something cryptic. >> show at 2:00 a.m., sold out. >> no one knew the show. >> but people somehow got clues. and at 1:

there's no concert. go home. >> go home. >> at 2:00 a.m., kanye pops up out of a vehicle from the sunroof. >> do we have the pop-up? >> we don't have the pop-up. but kim kardashian posting a snapchat video, urging someone to call the mayor. >> call the mayor and shut down the block -- so, they can have a party outside. i know it's sold out already. >> so, at 3:00 a.m., they -- nye west wanted to call mayor de blasio to shut down the area? >> that was too late because everybody was there. >> the fact that -- he's got him on the bat phone or something? >> people call the mayor. it's kanye's world. >> can you -- kim
