"TODAY," WITH SAVANNAH GUTHRIE
AND HODA KOTB, LIVE FROM STUDIO

>>> AND GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.
WELCOME TO "TODAY."
IT'S MONDAY MORNING.
WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THINGS
BOILING OVER AT THE BORDER, OVER
THIS ENFORCEMENT OF A ZERO
TOLERANCE POLICY, WHICH IS
HAVING THE EFFECT OF SEPARATING
CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS IF
THE FAMILIES ARE ATTEMPTING TO
ENTER THE U.S. ILLEGALLY.
>> PROTESTS ARE GROWING AT
PROCESSING CENTERS NATIONWIDE,
WHERE THOSE CHILDREN ARE BEING
DETAINED.
>> MELANIA TRUMP IS WADING INTO
THE DEBATE, SAYING SHE HATES TO
SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND THIS NEEDS
TO BE A COUNTRY THAT, QUOTE,
GOVERNS WITH HEART.
>> LAURA BUSH LABELING THE
POLICY, QUOTE, CRUEL AND
IMMORAL.
>> THIS IS SET TO TAKE CENTER
STAGE IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES.
WE HAVE TWO STORIES FOR YOU, AT

WE START WITH KRISTEN WELKER,
WHERE THE POLITICAL ACTION IS.
>> Reporter: THE DEMOCRATS ARE
ACCUSING THE PRESIDENT OF USING
MIGRANT CHILDREN TO PRESSURE
DEMOCRATS TO GET ONBOARD WITH
HIS TOUGHER LAWS.
THE PRESIDENT IS DEFIANT,
TWEETING THAT LAWMAKERS OF BOTH
PARTIES NEED TO WORK SOMETHING
OUT.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE
ELECTION, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING
TO LOSE.
THIS MORNING, THE PRESSURE IS
MOUNTING OVER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
IMMIGRATION POLICY.
WITH PROTESTS SUNDAY OUTSIDE OF
DETENTION FACILITIES HOUSING
IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE SEPARATED
FROM THEIR FAMILIES.
DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
UNVEILING WHAT THEY CALL AN
UNANNOUNCED INSPECTION OF A
NEW JERSEY FACILITY.
>> IT'S GOT TO STOP.
>> PEOPLE
>> Reporter: AS PEOPLE ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE CRITICIZE THE
POLICY.
>> THISSED A ADMINISTRATION IS USING
THE PAIN TO BUILD THEIR WALL.
>> Reporter: ALL PROMPTING A
RARE MOVE FROM THE FIRST LADY,
WHO WEIGHED IN FROM A
SPOKESPERSON.
MRS. TRUMP HATES TO SEE CHILDREN
SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES
AND HOPES BOTH SIDES OF THE
AISLE CAN COME TOGETHER TO
ACHIEVE SUCCESSFUL IMMIGRATION
REFORM.
SHE NEEDS TO BE A COUNTRY THAT
FOLLOWS ALL LAWS BUT ALSO A
COUNTRY THAT GOVERNS WITH HEART.
LAURA BUSH SPEAKING OUT, WRITING
IN AN OP-ED, I LIVE IN A BORDER
STATE, I APPRECIATE THE NEED TO
ENFORCE AND PROTECT OUR
INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES.
BUT THIS ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
IS CRUEL AND IT BREAKS MY HEART.
>> AS A MOTHER, AS A CATHOLIC,
AS SOMEBODY WHO HAS A
CONSCIENCE, I WILL TELL YOU,
NOBODY LIKES THIS POLICY.
YOU SAW THE PRESIDENT ON CAMERA,
HE WANTS THIS TO END.
>> Reporter: FORMER TOP TRUMP
ADVISER, STEVE BANNON, DEFENDING
HIS FORMER BOSS.
>> HE'S DRAWN A LINE IN THE SAND
AND I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO
BACK OFF FROM IT.
THE CRIMINALS WHEN THEY COME
ACROSS, ILLEGALLY.
>> Reporter: IN AN ATTEMPT TO
QUELL THE CONTROVERSY, KIRSTEN
NIELSEN SAID, WE DON'T HAVE A
POLICY OF SEPARATING FAMILIES AT
THE BORDER, PERIOD.
BUT 2,000 FAMILIES HAVE BEEN
SEPARATED AFTER A ZERO TOLERANCE
POLICY NAMED IN MAY.
>> I HATE THE CHILDREN BEING
TAKEN AWAY.
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO CHANGE
THEIR LAW.
THAT'S THEIR LAW.
>> Reporter: A QUICK FACT CHECK
HERE.
THERE'S NOTHING IN THE LAW THAT
REQUIRES THE ADMINISTRATION TO
SEPARATE YOUNG CHILDREN FROM
THEIR PARENTS.
AND LINDSEY GRAHAM HAS ARGUED,
THE PRESIDENT COULD STOP IT ALL
WITH ONE PHONE CALL.
HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL RYAN WILL
INTRODUCE TWO BILLS THIS WEEK
THAT COULD DEAL WITH THE ISSUE.
BOTH ARE FACING STEEP HURDLES.
MR. TRUMP WILL DISCUSS
IMMIGRATION FUNDING TODAY.
>> KRISTEN WELKER AT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
THANK YOU.
>>> LET'S FOCUS MORE ON WHAT'S
HAPPENING INSIDE THE FACILITIES
WHERE THE CHILDREN AND THE
PARENTS CAN BECOB SOBOROFF VISITED A CENTER.
WHAT DID YOU SEE?
>> Reporter: GOOD MORNING.
THIS IS A PROCESSING STATION IN
McKALLEN, TEXAS.
IT'S THE EPICENTER OF THE POLICY
OF SEPARATING CHILDREN FROM
THEIR PARENTS.
BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF
SEPARATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING
INSIDE.
AND YESTERDAY, WE GOT IN.
FACING THE CAMERAS AND OPENING
HIS DOORS FOR THE FIRST TIME,
RIO GRANDE VALLEY SECTOR BORDER
PATROL CHIEF DOUBLED DOWN ON THE
ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY ON ANYONE
ENTERING THE U.S. ILLEGALLY.
HE DIDN'T SAY IT WAS
SEPARATIONINGSEPARATION
INGSEPARATION
PROCESS FROM CHILDREN.
>> AS THEY GO THROUGH THE
JUDICIAL PROCESS, THEY ARE
TEMPORARILY SEPARATED.
>> Reporter: HE TOLD US 1,174
KIDS WERE TAKEN FROM THEIR
PARENTS SINCE THE POLICY WAS
ENACTED.
THAT'S MORE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE
IN THE BORDER.
AND IT HAPPENS INSIDE THIS
BUILDING.
THE FACILITY IS AN INTAKE FOR
THE BUSIEST SECTOR OF THE
SOUTHERN BORDER, THE BUSIEST OF
ITS KIND IN THE COUNTRY.
WE WERE INVITED TO SEE IT WITH
OUR OWN EYES, BUT NOT WITH THE
CAMERAS.
ALL WE CAN SHOW YOU IS PHOTOS
PROVIDED TO US FROM THE BORDER
PATROL.
MIGRANTS BEHIND FENCES, COVERED
IN MYLAR BLANKETS.
WHEN WE WALKED INTO THE
7,700-SQUARE-FOOT PROCESSING
CENTER, 1,197 MIGRANTS WERE
INSIDE.
197 UNACCOMPANIED MINORS, AND
THE REST, WERE ADULTS ON THEIR
OWN.
THEY ARE SEPARATED INTO FOUR
PODS, WHAT THE BORDER PATROL
CALLS THEM.
ONE FOR GIRLS 17 AND UNDER.
AND ONE FOR BOYS 17 AND UNDER.
THEN, THE FAMILIES.
MOMS WITH KIDS AND DADS WITH
KIDS.
ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE MOTHERS
WITH HER CHILD, CAPTURED IN
THESE HEARTBREAKING PHOTOS GOING
VIRAL OVER THE WEEKEND.
THEY SHOW A 2-YEAR-OLD GIRL,
CRYING AS A BORDER PATROL
OFFICER DETAINS HER MOTHER.
THE BORDER PATROL IS FIGHTING
BACK, INSISTING THAT NO FAMILY
SPACE IS HAPPENING IN THE FIELD.
BUT IMAGES LIKE THESE ARE ONLY
ADDING TO THE DEBATE OF U.S.
IMMIGRATION POLICY.
>> WE SEE OLDER KIDS IN THE
CAMPS.
HOW YOUNG ARE THE YOUNGEST
CHILDREN IN THERE?
>> Reporter: THE YOUNGEST
CHILDREN IN HERE ARE AS YOUNGS AS
INFANTS.
SOME OF THEM WERE JUST BORN AS
THEY CROSS OVER THE BORDER.
AND THE FACT THERE'S SO MANY
KIDS BEING SEPARATED FROM THEIR
PARENTS, IS THROWING THIS PLACE
INTO CHAOS.
THEY LACK THE MANPOWER TO DEAL
WITH THIS.
THERE'S ONLY FOUR SOCIAL WORKERS
INSIDE THIS BUILDING.
THERE WERE YESTERDAY.
AS THE SEPARATIONS INCREASE,
IT'S A TROUBLING SIGN.
>> JACOB, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>>> ALSO AT THE BORDER IN TEXAS,
FIVE UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS
WERE KILLED SUNDAY AFTER AN SUV
CRASHED WHILE FLEEING FROM
BORDER PATROL AGENTS.
THE VEHICLE WAS CARRYING 14
PEOPLE AND WENT OUT OF CONTROL
AT 100 MILES PER HOUR AND
OVERTURNED AND EJECTED EVERYBODY
INSIDE.
THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, A
SUSPECTED SMUGGLER AND U.S.
CITIZEN, SURVIVED THAT CRASH.
THE COUNTY SHERIFF SAYS CHASES
INVOLVING SMUGGLERS ARE ROUTINE
OCCURRENCES IN THAT AREA.
>>> A DEADLY EARTHQUAKE IN
WESTERN JAPAN.
KELLY COBIELLA JOINS US WITH THE
LATEST.
>> Reporter: GOOD MORNING.
THEY'RE ASSESSING THE DAMAGE IN
OSAKA, JAPAN'S MANUFACTURING
HEARTLAND, I SHOULD SAY.
THREE PEOPLE ARE CONFIRMED DEAD,
INCLUDING, TRAGICALLY, A LITTLE
GIRL, WHO WAS WALKING TO SCHOOL
WHEN THE GROUND STARTED
VIOLENTLY SHAKING.
THIS IS THE MOMENT THE QUICK
HIT.
CAMERAS AT THE FAMOUS OSAKA
CASTLE, SHAKING VIOLENTLY.
STREET LIGHTS SWAYING.
THE QUAKE STRUCK AFTER 8:00 A.M.
THIS MORNING, AT THE HEIGHT OF
THE MONDAY RUSH.
WATER PIPES BURST, STREETS
CRACKED.
WORRIED COMMUTERS EVACUATED
TRAINS AND BUILDINGS.
A 9-YEAR-OLD GIRL WAS KILLED
JUST STEPS FROM HER CLASSROOM
WHEN THIS SCHOOL WALL COLLAPSED
ON TOP OF HER.
THE IMPACT, SIGNIFICANT, THIS
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL SAID.
THREE WERE KILLED AND 214
INJURED.
ON SOCIAL MEDIA, PEOPLE SHARED
PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE.
THIS PERSON, DEALING WITH A
MONDAY MORNING MESS.
FLIGHTS IN AND OUT OF OSAKA WERE
GROUNDED AS OFFICIALS ASSESSED
THE DAMAGE AND BRACED FOR
AFTERSHOCKS.
THE QUAKE WAS A REMINDER OF THE
QUAKE IN 1995 THAT KILLED 6,000
PEOPLE.
THIS TIME, THE DAMAGE IS LESS
SEVERE.
BUT PEOPLE ARE ON-EDGE AND BEING
WARNED THAT STRONG AFTERSHOCKS
COULD SHAKE THE REGION FOR AT
LEAST A WEEK.
THE TWO OTHER CONFIRMED DEATHS
WERE MEN IN THEIR 80s.
ONE, KILLED IN HIS HOME WHEN A
BOOK SHELF FELL ON HIM.
OFFICIALS SAID IT COULD TAKE A
COUPLE OF WEEKS TO REPAIR ALL OF
THE WATER AND BASELINES.
SO FAR, THEY AVOIDED MAJOR
DAMAGE.
HODA?
SAVANNAH?
BACK TO YOU GUYS.
>>> ANOTHER BIG STORY WE'RE
FOLLOWING THIS MORNING, EXTREME
HEAT.
IT'S MOVING ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AND MILLIONS ARE LOOKING AT
RECORD HIGHS TODAY.
AL IS HERE WITH WHAT WE NEED TO
KNOW.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING, GUYS.
THANK YOU FOR GETTING YOUR FIRST
WEATHER FROM US.
WE'RE WATCHING THE JET STREAM
WAY UP TO THE NORTH.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE SIZZLING HEAT
INDEXES.
74 MILLION PEOPLE ARE UNDER A
HEAT WARNING OR ADVISORY, ALL
THE WAY INTO NEW ENGLAND.
WE'RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES
THAT ARE RECORD-SETTING.
NEW YORK CITY, 95 DEGREES.
97 IN D.C.
CLEVELAND COULD SET A RECORD.
SAME WITH ST. LOUIS,
INDIANAPOLIS AND RALEIGH.
ADD THE HUMIDITY AND IT'S GOING
TO FEEL LIKE 96 IN NEW YORK
TODAY.
103 IN WASHINGTON.
103 IN RALEIGH AND CLEVELAND.
102.
ST. LOUIS WILL FEEL LIKE 102
DEGREES.
TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE IN
THE NORTHEAST.
AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY BACK TO THE
SOUTH, TEMPERATURES ARE WAY
HIGH.
MILWAUKEE, YOU'LL BE NICE AND
COMFORTABLE WITH TEMPERATURES IN
THE 60s.
YOU GOT TO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK
ON YOUR ELDERLY NEIGHBORS.
MAKE SURE YOU PUT A CELL PHONE
OR IN THE BACKSEAT OF YOUR KIDS.
AND MAKE SURE YOUR PETS HAVE
PLENTY OF WATER.
GUYS?
>> AL, THANK YOU.
>>> A NEW TWIST IN THE RUSSIA
INVESTIGATION.
THE AGENT THAT WAS CRITICIZED IN
THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL'S REPORT,
NOW SAYING HE IS WILLING TO
TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS.
HALLIE JACKSON HAS MORE ON THAT.
HALLIE, GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: HI, HODA, GOOD
MORNING.
PETER STRZOK'S LAWYER SAYS HIS
CLIENT IS EAGER TO TALK ABOUT
ALL OF THIS.
IF HE DOES, IT COULD GIVE US A
NEW WINDOW INTO THE THINKING OF
THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE MOST
HIGH-PROFILE AND HIGH-STAKES
INVESTIGATION AT THE FBI IN
YEARS.
ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST
CONTROVERSIAL FBI AGENTS READY
TO TELL ALL AND TELL EVERYTHING.
PETER STRZOK, PUTTING NO
RESTRICTIONS ON ANY TESTIMONY TO
LAWMAKERS, AFTER THE HEAD OF THE
HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
REPORTEDLY BEGAN THE PROCESS TO
SUBPOENA THE AGENT.
>> I THINK HE IS EAGER TO TELL
THE TRUTH.
YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY, IT WILL BE
AN OPEN SESSION IN CONGRESS.
>> STRZOK, WHO WAS PART OF THE
FBI'S INVESTIGATION INTO HILLARY
CLINTON'S E-MAIL SERVER, WAS
ALSO INVOLVED IN AN INFAMOUS
TEXT MESSAGE EXCHANGE FROM
AUGUST 2016.
RECENTLY REVEALED IN AN
INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT.
AN FBI LAWYER, LISA PAGE, WROTE
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, HE'S NOT
EVER GOING TO BECOME PRESIDENT,
RIGHT?
STRZOK, WORKING ON THE
INVESTIGATION AND ROWMANTICALLY
LINKED TO PAGE SAID, NO, WE'LL
STOP IT.
ALLIES POUNCING.
>> THEIR HATRED, THEY WEAPONIZED
THE FBI AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT
CALLED STRZOK, A SICK LOSER, AS
SOME REPUBLICANS SUGGEST
STRZOK'S CONDUCT CASTS A CLOUD
OVER THE ENTIRE FBI.
HIS LAWYER TELLS NBC NEWS --
>> THE IDEA HE WOULD HAVE DONE
SOMETHING TO AFFECT AN
INVESTIGATION BECAUSE OF HIS OWN
PERSONAL, POLITICAL OPINIONS, IS
FALSE.
>> Reporter: THE
INSPECTOR-GENERAL REPORT FINDS
THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THE FBI WAS
POLITICALLY MOTIVATED TO TRY TO
HELP OR HURT HILLARY CLINTON OR
DONALD TRUMP DURING THE 2016
CAMPAIGN.
A CONCLUSION DEMOCRATS ARE
POINTING TO.
>> THE I.G. CONCLUDED NONE OF
THIS AFFECTED DECISIONMAKING.
BUT NONETHELESS, THAT WAS
COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE.
>> Reporter: AS FOR THE TIMING
OF WHEN WE MIGHT HEAR FROM
STRZOK, THERE IS NO DATE THAT'S
BEEN SET FOR ANY APPEARANCE ON
CAPITOL HILL.
BUT THERE COULD BE FIREWORKS
HERE TODAY.
THAT IS BECAUSE LATER ON THIS
AFTERNOON, THE AUTHOR OF BIG
INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT WILL
ANSWER QUESTIONS AND CHRISTOPHER
WRAY.
BOTH WILL FACE QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE CONCLUSION OF THAT REPORT.
>> HALLIE, THANKS.
>>> A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING
ABOUT THE U.S. OPEN.
ESPECIALLY CARSON.
FATHER'S DAY, ONE OF YOUR
FAVORITE THINGS.
>> WATCHING GOLF, WE'RE GOING TO
SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO BROOKS
KOEPKA.
HE SHOT 68 IN THE FINAL ROUND TO

STROKE.
THE 28-YEAR-OLD HAD TO BATTLE

IF YOU DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS PHIL MICKELSON, HE

SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM
THE TOURNAMENT.
SAYING, WHAT'S YOUR INTENT
MOVING THE HITTING BALL.
>> LOOK AT YOU.
>> HE OFFERED TO WITHDRAW.
THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS
UNNECESSARY.
HE SAID HE WAS TRYING TO MOVE ON
TO THE NEXT HOLE.
HE DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD ANYBODY
UP.
>> IF IT KEPT GOING, IT WOULD
HAVE BEEN IN A TERRIBLE SPOT.
>> AND HE SAID HE WOULD BE
HITTING IT BACK AND FORTH.
NONE OF US WANT TO DO THAT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE NOT HAPPY.
>> THAT'S HOW I PLAY TENNIS.
KEEP IT ALIVE.
KEEP THE BALL GOING.
>> CAN'T DO THAT IN A MAJOR.
>> THANK YOU, CARSON.
>>> WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THAT
SUIT.
>> THANK YOU.
IT'S IN VIOLATION OF RULE 1.78.
I SHOULD BE SELLING ICE CREAM
BUT I'M NOT.
LET'S SHOW YOU WHAT WE HAVE
GOING ON.
SHOWERS MAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH
THE WESTERN PLAINS.
NEAR-RECORD TEMPERATURES.

INCLUDING A BIG NIGHT OVERFIGHT OVER
IMMIGRATION.
BORDER UPROAR.
NEW PROTESTS ERUPT OVER THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S ZERO
TOLERANCE POLICY, SEPARATING
IMMIGRANT CHILDREN FROM THEIR
FAMILIES, AS LAWMAKERS ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE SPEAK OUT.
>> THAT'S TRAUMATIZING TO THE
CHILDREN WHO ARE INNOCENT
VICTIMS.
>> TEARING CHILDREN FROM THE
ARMS OF THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER
IS NOT THE RIGHT DECISION.
IT HAS GOT TO STOP.
>>> NO END IN SIGHT.
HAWAII'S KILAUEA VOLCANO STILL

>> COMBUSTION, WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN?

>> BUT THE FILM'S SUCCESS, NOT
WITHOUT CONTROVERSY, AS DISNEY

TO MOVIEGOERS WITH EPILEPSY,
SAYING THE FILM COULD TRIGGER
SEIZURES.
>>> AND EARTH SHAKING.
EX
MEXICO UPSETS GERMANY IN THE
WORLD CUP.
THE FAN CELEBRATION SO BIG, THEY

TRIGGERING EARTHQUAKE SENSORS,
AMAZING.
>> YOU GET IT.

>>> NEW THIS MORNING, MEGHAN
MARKLE'S DAD, HE IS OPENING UP
SINCE HE MISSED THE ROYAL
WEDDING.
HE HAD A LOT TO SAY.
KEIR SIMMONS IS IN LONDON WITH
THAT.
GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: GOOD MORNING TO YOU
BOTH.
SO MUCH TO GET TO IN THIS
INTERVIEW.
THIS WILL BE CONTROVERSIAL, HOW
MEGHAN MARKLE'S DAD TALKS ABOUT
PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS WITH
PRINCE HARRY.
FIRST, LISTEN TO THE EMOTIONAL
WAY THAT HE DESCRIBES WATCHING
THAT WEDDING FROM THOUSANDS OF
MILES AWAY.
>> SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE WATCHING HER.
I CRIED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT.
BUT SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL WALKING
DOWN THAT AISLE.
AND SO PROUD AND SO GORGEOUS.
I WAS VERY PROUD.
I COULDN'T HAVE SEEN A BETTER
MOMENT IN MY LIFE.
>> Reporter: FOR MEGHAN MARKLE'S
DAD, THE JOY OF WATCHING HIS
DAUGHTER MARRY PRINCE HARRY, WAS
MARRED BY THE PAIN OF MISSING
THE BIG DAY.
>> THE UNFORTUNATE THING FOR ME
NOW, IS I'M A FOOTNOTE IN ONE OF
THE GREATEST MOMENTS IN HISTORY,
RATHER THAN THE DAD WALKING HER
DOWN THE AISLE.
>> Reporter: IN AN AT TIMES
EMOTIONAL INTERVIEW FOR "GOOD
MORNING PRISON," HE DESCRIBES
HIS HEART ATTACK.
>> I TALKED TO HARRY AND MEGHAN.
AND AT THAT TIME, I STARTED
GETTING HEART PALPITATIONS AND I
STARTED GETTING CHEST PAINS AND
SAID I HAD TO CANCEL.
>> Reporter: THE SERVICE PRINTED
WITH HIS NAME.
HE WAS IN CALIFORNIA RECOVERING
FROM HEART SURGERY.
>> I TOLD HER BEFORE I WAS GOING
IN FOR THE SURGERY, THIS WAS THE
SECOND TIME IN THE HOSPITAL.
THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED BUT
MEGHAN CRIED, I'M SURE.
SHE DID CRY.
AND THEY BOTH SAID, TAKE CARE OF
YOURSELF, WE'RE REALLY WORRIED
ABOUT YOU.
SO, THEY SAID THE IMPORTANT
THING WAS THAT I GET BETTER.
>> Reporter: HE HAD BEEN UNDER
INTENSE PRESSURE.
BUT HE SAYS WHEN HE COOPERATED
WITH A PHOTOGRAPHER, HARRY AND
MEGHAN WERE FORGIVING.
>> I DID THIS TO CHANGE MY IMAGE
FOR ONE WHOLE YEAR.
I WAS PRESENTED AS A HERMIT
LIVING AND HIDING IN MEXICO.
I WAS LOOKING TO CHANGE MY
IMAGE.
AND OBVIOUSLY, THAT WAS A
MISTAKE.
IT WENT WRONG.
>> Reporter: HE HASN'T YET SEEN
HIS DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW.
EVERYTHING WAS ON THE PHONE.
>> MEGHAN TOLD ME FIRST AND A
FEW TIMES AFTER THAT, HARRY GOT
ON THE PHONE WITH MEGHAN.
THEY CALLED ME TOGETHER.
AND HARRY ASKED FOR HER HAND
OVER THE PHONE.
AND I SAID, YOU'RE A GENTLEMAN.
PROMISE ME YOU WILL NEVER RAISE
YOUR HAND AGAINST MY DAUGHTER.
OF COURSE, I GIVE YOU MY
PERMISSION.
>> Reporter: HIS REACTION, JUST
LIKE ANY PROUD FATHER.
>> OF COURSE, IT'S WOW.
IT COMES OUT AS A WOW.
THIS IS MY DAUGHTER.
MY DAUGHTER, CERTAINLY IS A
PRIZE FOR HIM, AS WELL.
I DON'T HAVE -- HE'S GREAT.
HE'S AN INTERESTING GUY AND A
PRINCE.
MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN A PRISONNCESS
SINCE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN.
>> Reporter: HE THANKS PRINCE
CHARLES FOR WALKING HER DOWN THE
AISLE.
HERE'S SOME OF THE CONTROVERSY.
HE TALKS ABOUT POLITICS WITH
PRINCE HARRY AND SAYS THAT
PRINCE HARRY TOLD HIM THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULD BE GIVEN
A CHANCE.
THAT CONVERSATION SEEMS TO HAVE
HAPPENED EARLY IN THEIR
RELATIONSHIP.
THAT WOULD BE BACK IN 2016.
THAT IS THE KIND OF THING THAT
WOULD WORRY THE ROYAL FAMILY.
>> KEIR, THANK YOU.
>> GOOD TO HEAR FROM HIM.
>>> LET'S GO OVER TO AL WITH A
CHECK OF THE WEATHER.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO AREAS OF
PRECIPITATION.
ONE AROUND THE GULF COAST OF
TEXAS.
ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN
HANGING OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST
AND CONTINUES TO BRING LOTS OF
RAIN FROM SALENA, KANSAS, TO THE
NORTHEAST.
WE HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF
STRONG STORMS, SEVERE STORMS,
DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE WITH
THIS.
WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS SYSTEM,
SLOWLY MAKING ITS WAY TO THE
EAST AND DROPPING DOWN TO THE
SOUTH.
STORMS STRETCH FROM MAINE TO
IOWA, WITH STRONG STORMS THROUGH
NEW ENGLAND AND RIGHT THROUGH
CENTRAL NEW YORK AND ST. LOUIS.
CINCINNATI, AS WELL.
THIS WILL CONTINUE PUSHING TO
THE SOUTH.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS ANYWHERE FROM
TWO TO THREE INCHES.
BUT LOCALLY UP TO FOUR INCHES
FROM WISCONSIN INTO NEBRASKA.
AS WE MOVE SOUTH INTO TEXAS,
WHERE THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
IS TAPPING THIS TROPICAL
MOISTURE, WE COULD SEE 3 TO 5
INCHES OF RAIN, FROM CORPUS
>> AND THAT'S YOUR LATEST
WEATHER.
>> AL, THANK YOU.
>>> MUCH MORE AHEAD THIS
MORNING, INCLUDING DESMOND IS
AMAZING.
MEET THE KID TAKING OVER SOCIAL
MEDIA WITH AN INSPIRING MESSAGE
AND HELP FROM HIS SUPPORTIVE
PARENTS.
>>> PLUS, YOUTH OR EXPERIENCE.
WE'RE TESTING THE BOUNDARIES OF
THE AGE GAP WITH A LITTLE
COMPETITION BETWEEN SENIORS AND
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS.
>>> AND THE SURPRISE ALBUM FROM
BEYONCE AND JAY-Z.
IT HAS THEIR FANS ALL WORKED UP.
>>> FIRST, A "ROSSEN REPORTS"
EXCLUSIVE.
>> HI, GOOD MORNING.
I'M JEFF ROSSEN.
THIS FATHER IS IN THE HOSPITAL
BECAUSE HIS E-CIGARETTE BATTERY
EXPLODE
EXPLODED, RIGHT?
>> I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND IT
EXPLODED OUT OF MY POCKET.
>> THIS IS THE WARNING FOR
>>> WE'RE BACK WITH A "ROSSEN
REPORTS" EXCLUSIVE.
NEW WARNINGS IN THE CASE OF AN
E-CIGARETTE BATTERY EXPLOSION.
>> JEFF ROSSEN IS LOOKING INTO
IT.
GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: GUYS, GOOD MORNING.
ANOTHER E-CIGARETTE BATTERY
EXPLOSION.
THIS TIME, THE VICTIM, A FATHER,
SAYS THE SPARE BATTERIES BLEW UP
INSIDE HIS POCKET.
HIS CLOTHES CAUGHT FIRE.
THIS MORNING, HE IS ISSUING A
NEW WARNING FOR ALL OF US.
THE VIDEOS ARE SCARY.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES EXPLODING
IN PEOPLE'S POCKETS WITHOUT
WARNING.
IT HAPPENED TO THIS MAN RIDING
THE BUS.
THE BATTERY IN HIS E-CIGARETTE
BLOWING UP IN HIS LAP.
IN NEW YORK, THIS MAN AT A WINE
SHOP BURNED AFTER HIS VAPE PEN
EXPLODED IN HIS POCKET.
AND THIS MAN, AT A CONVENIENCE
STORE, WHEN HIS E-CIGARETTE
BURST INTO BLAMEFLAMES.
THIS IS KEVIN KING, FROM HIS
HOSPITAL BED.
>> THIS IS THE WORST PAIN OF MY
LIFE.
>> Reporter: WAS THERE ANY
WARNING?
>> IT JUST EXPLODED.
ONE MINUTE, YOU'RE PULLING UP IN
THE DRIVEWAY AND THE NEXT MINUTE
YOUR PARENTS ARE ON FIRE.
>> Reporter: HIS E-CIGARETTE
BATTERIES WERE IN HIS BACK ET.
HIS LEG WAS SO BURNED, HE NEEDED
A SKIN GRAFT.
>> IT BURST INTO FLAMES.
>> Reporter: THESE ARE YOUR
JEANS THAT YOU WERE WEARING.
IT CUT A HOLE THROUGH THIS BACK
ET
POCKET.
>> IT BURNED THROUGH MY PANTS.
>> Reporter: THE EXPLOSION
BURNING A HOLE THROUGH THE CAR.
KEVIN HAD ANOTHER BATTERY IN HIS
POCKET.
>> THE OTHER ONE EXPLODES.
IT HITS ME IN THE EYE.
>> Reporter: DOCTORS SAY ONE
INCH OVER AND KEVIN COULD HAVE
LOST HIS VISION.
SO, WHAT CAUSED THE EXPLOSION?
KEVIN HAD LOOSE CHANGE IN THE
SAME POCKET AS THE BATTERIES.
WHEN THEY CAME IN CONTACT WITH
EACH OTHER, BOOM.
>> IT'S ALMOST AN ACCIDENT
WAITING TO HAPPEN.
AND BECAUSE THE BATTERIES ARE IN
THE POCKET WITH A LOT OF LOOSE
CHANGE, THEY ACTUALLY SHORTED
OUT AND ENERGIZED THE BATTERY
AND CAUSED THE EXPLOSION.
>> Reporter: AND EXPERTS SAY IT
CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE.
IN FACT, ACCORDING TO THE U.S.
FIRE ADMINISTRATION, MANY
E-CIGARETTE EXPLOSIONS HAPPEN
WHILE IN THE USER'S POCKET.
AND THERE'S OFTEN NO WARNING AT
ALL.
UP CLOSE, IT'S EVEN SCARIER.
I GOT TO SEE WHAT CAN HAPPEN
FIRSTHAND AT UNDERWRITERS
LABORATORIES, U.L.

WHO DREAMED OF STUDYING UNDER A
WORLD-RENOWNED INSTRUCTOR.
BUT THAT DREAM WAS DASHED, TURNS
OUT, BY A DECEPTIVE GIRLFRIEND.
AND SHE IS PAYING A HEAVY PRICE.
SHEINELLE, YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN
THIS.
>> THAT CLARINET PLAYER WAS
ACCEPTED INTO THE PROGRAM HE HAD
DREAMED ABOUT FOR YEARS.
BUT A CANADIAN COURT RECENTLY
FOUND THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND, AT
THE TIME, FAKED A REJECTION
LETTER FROM THE SCHOOL SO HE
WOULDN'T LEAVE.
♪♪♪♪
FOR CLARINET PLAYER, ERIC,
STUDYING UNDER HIS IDOL WAS A
LIFELONG GOAL.
IN FEBRUARY OF 2014, THAT DREAM
WAS NEARLY REALIZED WHEN HE WAS
CHOSEN TO AUDITION FOR THE
RENOWNED INSTRUCTOR AS PART OF A
TUITION-FREE, ALL-EXPENSE-PAID
SCHOLARSHIP, THAT'S ONLY AWARDED
TO ONE OR TWO STUDENTS A YEAR.
>> I WANTED IT SO BADLY.
I WAS THINKING OF IT CONSTANTLY.

>> Reporter: AND WHILE HE
THOUGHT HE DIDN'T MAKE THE
CUT --
>> I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM
HIM.
AND HE SAID, BASICALLY, HEY,
ERIC, IT WAS GREAT MEETING YOU.
NICE TO HEAR YOU PLAY.
I THINK YOU'RE TALENTED.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I WON'T BE
ABLE TO ACCEPT YOU IN MY STUDIO.
>> Reporter: LITTLE DID ERIC
KNOW, HE REALLY WAS ACCEPTED.
IT TURNS OUT, HIS GIRLFRIEND AT
THE TIME, JENNIFER LEE,
INTERCEPTED ERIC'S ACCEPTANCE
E-MAIL AND WROTE THE PHONY
REJECTION LETTER BECAUSE SHE WAS
WORRIED HE MIGHT MOVE AWAY.
ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS,
SHE WROTE TO THE INSTRUCTOR,
SAYING SHE WAS ERIC, SAYING HE
WAS DECLINING THE OFFER.
TWO YEARS LATER, AFTER HE HAD
BROKEN UP WITH LEE, HE APPLYIED
FOR ANOTHER MUSIC PROGRAM.
THIS TIME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, WHERE HE
WAS ALSO TEACHING.
IT MADE FOR AN AWKWARD EXCHANGE
AT THE AUDITION.
>> HE ASKED ME, HE SAID, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING HERE?
YOU REJECTED ME.
I WAS CONFUSED.
I SAID, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I
THINK YOU REJECTED ME.

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
HAPPENED, FRIENDS SUGGESTED IT
COULD BE HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND.

EVEN THINK.
>> Reporter: AFTER LOGGING ON TO
THE PHONY E-MAIL ACCOUNT SHE SET
UP, HE LEARNED THE TRUTH.
>> CONFIRMATION OF THE ULTIMATE
BETRAYAL.
>> Reporter: LAST WEEK, A
CANADIAN JUDGE ORDERED LEE TO
PAY ERIC $260,000 IN DAMAGES,
CALLING HER CONDUCT DESPICABLE,
WHILE ERIC FINALLY HAD A CHANCE
TO STUDY UNDER GILAD AT USC.
JENNIFER LEE NEVER APPEARED IN
COURT TO DEFEND HERSELF.
AND NBC NEWS MADE NUMEROUS
ATTEMPTS TO REACH HER FOR
COMMENT BUT NEVER HEARD BACK.
ERIC IS NOW A MEMBER OF THE
TORONTO SYMPATHY ORCHESTRA.
NO WORD FROM THE GIRLFRIEND,
THOUGH.
>> THAT WOMAN COULD HAVE RUINED
HIS LIFE, HIS PROFESSIONAL LIFE,
IF HE DIDN'T GO BACK AGAIN.
>> HE'LL NEVER GET A PENNY.
>> MOST OF THAT.
AS A PRACTICAL MATTER.
>> NOT THAT IT'S ABOUT THAT.

HAPPENED.

NOW HE'S MET HIS IDOL AND HE'S

GUY.
GET OFF OF THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN SEE, GOT A LOT OF
MOISTURE DOWN THROUGH THE SOUTH.
LOW PRESSURE THAT'S TAPPING SOME
TROPICAL MOISTURE THERE.
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM THAT'S
PUSHING THROUGH AND HANGING OUT.
IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
IT'S GOING TO BRING WET WEATHER,
FROM THE PLAINS TO THE UPPER
MIDWEST.
NEAR-RECORD HEAT IN THE EAST.
A FLOOD THREAT DOWN THROUGH
TEXAS, FROM CORPUS CHRISTI TO

HODA?

>>> THIS IS NATIONAL LGBT PRIDE
MONTH.
AND KATE SNOW IS HERE WITH A

>> Reporter: DESMOND IS SMART,
SELF-ASSURED, TALENTED.
HE LOVES TO DRESS UP AND WORK
THE RUNWAY IN DRAG, WITH
DRAMATIC MAKEUP.
BUT ONLY IF HIS HOMEWORK IS
DONE.
THAT'S BECAUSE DESMOND IS JUST
10 YEARS OLD.
BUT HE'S ALREADY A SOCIAL MEDIA
STAR.
AND HE SAYS HE WANTS TO USE HIS
PLATFORM TO INSPIRE OTHER KIDS
TO LOVE AND ACCEPT THEMSELVES.
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH DESMOND.
THIS IS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE
PLAYGROUNDS.
>> DESMOND IS AMAZING.
>> Reporter: AND THIS IS THE
OTHER.
YOU'RE DOING LOTS OF INTERVIEWS
LATELY.
>> YEAH.
>> Reporter: HOW COME?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE I'M SO
FAMOUS AND AN INSPIRATION TO SO
MANY PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: AN INSPIRATION TO
SO MANY PEOPLE.
>> YEAH.
>> Reporter: YOU'VE HEARD OF
DRAG QUEENS.
WELL, DESMOND IS A
SELF-DESCRIBED DRAG KID.
WHEN HE'S NOT IN SCHOOL, HE'S
DOING PHOTO SHOOTS AND RUNWAY
SHOWS.
HE'S IN "VOGUE" AND HAS HIS OWN
DRAG NAME.
DESMOND IS AMAZING.
WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD AT WALKING
THE RUNWAY?
>> IT'S A BORN TALENT.
>> Reporter: WE MET UP WITH
DESMOND AND HIS PARENTS AT THE
FLUID PROJECT.
IN CONTRAST TO THEIR SON, WENDY
AND ANDREW SAY THEY COULDN'T BE
MORE MAINSTREAM.
THEY SAY DESMOND WAS BORN TO
HAVE AN AUDIENCE.
>> WHEN THEY HANDED HIM TO ME,
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S POSING.
OKAY.
WHAT A HAM.
>> Reporter: WHEN DID HE START
DRESSING UP?
DO YOU REMEMBER?
>> AS SOON AS HE COULD GRAB
THINGS.
>> Reporter: WHEN DESMOND WAS A
TODDLER, WENDY SAID HE WOULD SIT
IN HER LAP AS THEY WATCHED
"RuPAUL'S DRAG RACE" ABOUT DRAG
QUEENS AND HE WAS MESMERIZED.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
>> I THINK IT WAS HOW BEAUTIFUL
THEY WERE AND HOW, HOW AMAZING
THEY LOOKED.
I WANT TO LOOK AMAZING, TOO.
>> Reporter: YES, HE'S ONLY 10.
BUT DESMOND SAYS HE KNOWS WHO HE
IS AND IS VERY OPEN ABOUT IT.
DESMOND, ARE YOU TRANSJEND
CENTER
TRANSGENDER?
>> NO.
>> Reporter: DO YOU IDENTIFY AS
GUY?
YEAH?
WHEN DID YOU COME OUT?
>> WHEN I WAS BORNL.
>> Reporter: A VIDEO OF HIM AT
NEW YORK'S 2015 GAY PRIDE PARADE
WENT VIRAL.
HE SAID HE WANTED DRAG TO BE A
CAREER.
THEY WENT TO A THERAPIST.
THE ADVICE, DON'T ENCOURAGE THE
BEHAVIOR BUT DON'T DISCOURAGE
IT, EITHER.
PEOPLE SAY TO THAT, HE'S ONLY
10.
WAIT A WHILE.
>> WAIT FOR WHAT?
>> MOZART FIRST TOUCHED A PEAIANO
WHEN HE WAS 3.
I THINK THERE'S TALENTED
CHILDREN.
IF YOU SEE THAT TALENT AND HE
WANTS TO DO IT, WHY NOT?
>> Reporter: IS IT TOO YOUNG FOR
A 10-YEAR-OLD TO BE MARCHING
DOWN A RUNWAY IN A SEXUALIZED
WAY?
>> I DON'T SEE HIM SEXUALIZED AT
ALL?
I THINK IF PEOPLE SEE SEX IN
THAT, THERE'S AN ISSUE ON THEIR
END BECAUSE I JUST SEE A CHILD
WHO IS ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
I MEAN, I KNOW BALLERINAS WEAR
LESS THAN HE DOES AND NO ONE
SAYS THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE.
>> Reporter: HIS INSTAGRAM,
DESMOND IS AMAZING, HAS 40,000
FOLLOWERS AND HE HAS HIS OWN
YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
THERE'S PEOPLE THAT WOULD SAY TO
THAT, YOU'RE LETTING THE KID
LEAD.
>> I HEARD THAT BEFORE.
>> Reporter: WHAT DO YOU SAY?
>> HIS LIFE.
>> YEAH.
IT'S HIS LIFE.
I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT
STATEMENT 100% BECAUSE HE IS A
CHILD.
HE HAS TO HAVE THE PARENTAL
SUPPORT.
IT MAY LOOK LIKE HE'S LEADING
US.
BUT WE'RE IN THE BACK,
SUPPORTING HIM 100%.
>> Reporter: AND DESMOND USES
HIS PLATFORM TO SUPPORT OTHER
KIDS.
>> IF YOU GET BULLIED, JUST TELL
THEM TO MIND THEIR OWN BEESWAX
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FIERCE.
YOU ARE.
>> Reporter: YOU HOPE IT
INSPIRES OTHER KIDS TO COME OUT?
>> AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE.
WHAT MADE ME WHO I AM BECAUSE
I'M FIERCE AND AMAZING.
AND DRAG KIDS ARE GOING TO TAKE
OVER THE WORLD.
>> AS YOU SAID, HE'S GOT A BIG
FOLLOWING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
WHAT DID PEOPLE SAY?
>> IT'S INTERESTING.
HE GETS A LOT OF POSITIVE
REACTION, ESPECIALLY FROM OTHER
CHILDREN WHO SAY, THANK YOU FOR
BEING A LEADER AND SHOWING I CAN
BE MYSELF.
THERE'S A LOT OF NEGATIVE
REACTION.
A LOT OF REACTION, EVEN THIS
MORNING, WHEN I POSTED A VIDEO
ON MY TWITTER PAGE, A LOT OF
NEGATIVES SAYING, HOW COULD THE
PARENTS DO THIS?
YOU HEARD ME ASK THEM QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE CHOICES THEY'RE
MAKING.
>> IS HE MAKING MONEY OFF OF
THIS?
IS THIS LUCRATIVE?
>> HE IS MODELING NOW AND
STARTING TO MAKE SOME MONEY.
THE PARENTS SAY IT'S NOT ABOUT
THAT.
BUT HE IS.
YOU GET THE SENSE THIS KID HAS A
MIND FOR WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.
HE HAS BUSINESS PLANS ALREADY.
HE WANTS A CLOTHING LINE.
HE WANTS TO START SOMETHING
CALLED HOUSE OF AMAZING, WHICH
WOULD BE AN ONLINE SITE FOR
OTHER KIDS WHO ARE INTO DRAG TO
GET TOGETHER IN SOCIAL MEDIA
WITHOUT ADULTS INVOLVED.
THAT'S ONE OF HIS VISIONS, AS
WELL.
>> KATE, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>>> WE HOPE EVERYBODY ENJOYED
FATHER'S DAY.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LITTLE
BIT.
CARSON IS CELEBRATING.

DIFFERENT MEANING.
>> Reporter: WE ASKED BOTH TEAMS
TO TRY OUT THEIR BAKING SKILLS,
WITH PLENTY OF INGREDIENTS BUT
NO RECIPE.

BY LOOKING AT ME.
BUT I KNOW MY WAY AROUND THE
KITCHEN.
>> SOME BROWN SUGAR IN THERE.
>> RIGHT.
DIVERSITY.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN
COOK.
>> TAKE A BIG BITE, AL.

COOKIE.
IT HAS THE CONSISTENCY OF A
BAGEL.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO WITH
THIS COOKIE.

THIS.
HE DIDN'T TASTE ALL OF THE

CHANCE FOR BOTH TEAMS TO BUST A

AS A CHA-CHA OR THE MAMBO.
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW.
>> Reporter: THAT'S NOT PRETTY.
MAESTRO, PLEASE.
AND OUR SENIOR CITIZENS, JUST AS
OUT OF STEP.
>> WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE

BECAUSE YOU GOT OLD, DOESN'T
MEAN YOU HAVE TO GROW UP.
>> Reporter: THE HIGH SCHOOL
SENIORS.
STILL TIED AT THE END, THE
WINNER BY A ROUND OF APPLAUSE --
THE SENIOR SENIORS.
>> TOWARD THE END, I FELT LIKE
THE COMPETITION DIDN'T EVEN
MATTERED.
I FELT LIKE EVERYBODY WON.
>> UNEXPECTED.
ACTUALLY, YOUNG PEOPLE AND OLD
PEOPLE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
>> I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER
REALLY GOTTEN THAT CLOSE WITH A
GROUP OF PEOPLE ALL IN ONE DAY
LIKE THAT.
>> AT THE END, WE WANTED TO
ADOPT THEM.
>> THE BEST THING ABOUT TODAY
WAS WE'VE MADE NEW FRIENDS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> I GOT TO TELL YOU, IT WAS ONE
OF THESE THINGS WHERE THEY ALL
CAME TOGETHER.
I WASN'T EXPECTING IT.
BUT THEY EACH ENJOYED EACH OTHER
SO MUCH.

>> THAT WAS FUN.
>> WE SHOULD DO THAT EVERY DAY.

GUYS ARE HERE TO MAKE OVER YOUR

THEY PUT THEIR WHOLE HEART INTO
THE COMMUNITY CENTER OUT THERE.

ARE GAY.
AND THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE
WEEK, WE WERE ABLE TO BUILD SOME
RELATIONSHIPS.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT, BUILDING
RELATIONSHIPS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
LET'S INTRODUCE YOU TO THE TEAM.
TAN FRANCE IS THE STYLE GURU,
CULTURE EXPERT, KARAMO BROWN,
ANTHONY POROWSKI IS THE CULINARY
MASTER.
>> AND JONATHAN VAN NESS, THE
GROOMER AND BOBBY BERK, THE
EXPERT IN DESIGN.
WHEN YOU ROLL UP INTO SOMEONE'S
TOWN AND COME KNOCKING ON THE
DOOR, I KNOW THEY HAVE A
PRECONCEIVED EDD NOTION OF WHAT
THEY'RE GETTING.
BUT WHEN YOU POP IN, TELL US
WHAT HAPPENS.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
WHO WE ARE.
WE PICKED HEROES WHO HAVE NO
IDEA WHAT THE FAB FIVE OR "QUEER
EYE" IS AND JUST WANTING HELP.
>> ONCE THEY MEET YOU AND GET TO
KNOW YOU, ARE THEY LETTING YOU
IN?
>> AT FIRST, THEY'RE SCARED.
EVERY ONE OF THEM ALWAYS SAID,
THE FIRST MOMENT YOU CAME IN,
THEY WERE LIKE, WHAT DID I GET
MYSELF INTO.
AND WITHIN TEN MINUTES, WE HAVE
THEIR WALLS AND DOWN THEY'RE
VERY RECEPTIVE.
>> I REMEMBER THE FIRST
INCARNATION OF THE SHOW 15 YEARS
AGO, IT WAS SO SUCCESSFUL.
AND TO TAKE IT ON AND SAY, WE'RE
GOING TO REDO IT, MUST HAVE BEEN
EXCITING AND INTIMIDATING.
>> IT WAS A LEGACY SHOW.
THE FACT IT WAS SUCCESSFUL BACK
IN THE DAY WAS INTIMIDATING FOR
ALL OF US.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE A REHASH
OF THE ORIGINAL SHOW, WE WANTED
TO MAKE IT OUR SHOW.
WE HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF
MAKING IT OUR OWN.
>> WHAT STRUCK ME IS YOU WENT
INTO THE HEART OF AMERICA.
AND SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE
PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS.
BUT YOU WALKED IN AND DO YOU
THINK YOU CHANGED SOME MINDS?
>> I THINK SO.
IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO FOCUS
ON QUALITY CONVERSATIONS AND NOT
THINK OF THE PUBLIC STUFF ALL
THE TIME.
FIGURING OUT WHY WE'RE THERE TO
HELP THESE PEOPLE ALLOWED US TO
BE OF BETTER SERVICE.
>> I KNOW THERE'S A FIRST IN
THIS NEW SEASON, WHICH IS YOU
MAKE OVER YOUR FIRST WOMAN.
>> YES.
>> MOMMA TAMMY IS WHAT WE CALL
HER.
>> YES.
AND IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL.
>> WITHOUT SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR SO MANY PEOPLE TO HAVE A
LITTLE OF THEIR INNER SOUL
WOUNDS HEALED A BIT.
I THINK FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
OUR COMMUNITY, IN THIS
SITUATION.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT.
IT WAS NICE TO MEET SOMEONE LIKE
TAMMY AND HAVE THAT HEALING
MOMENT TOGETHER.
>> YOU GUYS, I THINK IT'S BEEN
SUCH A GREAT REBOOT.
I'VE GOT TO MEET YOU BEFORE AND
YOU ARE SUCH A PLEASURE.
>> I KNOW.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT DESIGN OR
FOOD OR HOW YOU DRESS.
IT SEEMS LIKE EACH EPISODE GOES
KIND OF DEEP.
>> YES.
>> THAT WAS OUR INTENTION.
WHEN WE SET OUT TO DO THIS, IT
WASN'T JUST TO MAKE SOMETHING
PRETTY.
WE WANT TO CHANGE LIVES, LIKE
COMPLETELY.
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO
THINK DIFFERENTLY AND BRIDGE
SOME DIVIDES.
>> DO YOU ALL GET ALONG?
>> WE LOVE EACH OTHER.
>> WE HAVE TO GET THEIR ADVICE.
WE CAN'T LET YOU GO.
YOU EACH HAVE A MUST-HAVE,
RIGHT?
AND THESE GUYS ARE GOING TO DO
THE HONORS.
>> OF COURSE, YES.
>> WHO WANTS TO START?
TAN, YOU WANT TO START?
>> SURE.
>> YEAH.
>> SURE DO.
>> UNSCRIPTED, HONEY.
>> SUPERPREPARED.
>> THAT ONE, HIS PRODUCTION
COMPANY GAVE ME MY FIRST CHANCE
ON TV.
>> OH.
>> THANK YOU, AL.
>> COME ON IN.
>> OKAY.
>> THE MUST-HAVES.
>> THESE GUYS ALREADY HAVE IT.
IT'S A WELL-FITTING SUIT.
IF THE SUIT DOESN'T FIT WELL,
EVEN IF IT'S EXPENSIVE, IT'S NOT
GOING TO LOOK GOOD ON YOU.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY
YOU'RE SPENDING.
AL DID A GREAT JOB OF MAKING
SURE THE SHOULDERS ARE ON THE
SHOULDER.
THE PANT IS THE CORRECT LENGTH
AND THE SHOE COMPLEMENTS YOUR
SUIT.
>> A SEARS SUCKER.
?
YIKES.
>> MY TIPS ARE THE THREE "Cs."
CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF, BE
CURIOUS AND CRY.
>> CRY?
>> AND CRY.
>> CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF DAILY.
FIGURE OUT HOW YOU'RE FEELING.
BE CURIOUS ABOUT LIFE.
ON YOUR LUNCH BREAK, INSTEAD OF
JUST BEING AT YOUR DESK, GO OUT
AND EXPLORE A PARK OR A MUSEUM.
DON'T HOLD IN YOUR EMOTIONS,
CRY, MEN AND WOMEN.
>> WHEN THE ALARM WENT OFF, I
CRIED.
>> WHAT ABOUT KITCHEN TOUGH?
>> I THINK EVERYONE HAS SALT AND
PEPPER ON THE TABLE.
MY EQUIVALENT IS LEMONS.
I PUT LEMON ZEST IN EVERYTHING.
IT FLAVORS IT SO MUCH.
THERE'S NICE OILS IN THERE.
AND LEMON JUICE ON A SALAD OR A
ROAST.
>> JONATHAN, HOW ABOUT HAIR?
HOW ABOUT GUYS LIKE ME WATCHING,
KEEPING A NICE SHINE.
>> I GOT A BETTER ONE.
WHEN YOU HAVE A BLOW DRY AND
YOU'RE SWEATING AND YOU'RE LIKE,
I'M WET-LOOKING.
PEPPERMINT OR A SPEARMINT OIL.
IT WILL KEEP YOU COOL LIKE
WINTER GREEN FERRYER IF FARRIES ARE BLOWING
ON YOUR NECK.
>> AND HOW TO SPLURGE AT HOME.
>> WHERE SHOULD I SEND MONEY AT
HOME?
BEDDING.
YOU SPEND 30% OF YOUR LIFE IN
BEDDING.
YOU NEED TO WAKE UP FEELING LIKE
YOU'RE IN A HOTEL AND GO TO
SLEEP RELAXED.
WHEN YOU WAKE UP WITH SCRATCHY
SHEETS.
>> I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS
THREAD COUNT.
>> IT'S ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE
COTTON.
AND PEOPLE SAY, HOW CAN YOU
TELL?
IF IT FEELS GOOD, IT'S GOOD.
>> WHO IS IN BED WITH YOU IS A
BIG PART.
>> THAT HELPS, TOO.
>> LET'S GET REAL, BOYS.
>> THANK YOU TO THE FAB FIVE.

HIGHLIGHTS.
>> WHEN THE SEASON BEGINS,
THERE'S FEW DATES THAT THE
YANKEES CIRCLE ON THE CALENDAR,
LIKE THE MATCH-UP WITH THE RED
SOX.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT PLAYERS
AND COACHES LOOK FORWARD TO MORE
THAN HOPE WEEK.
THE SIMPLE JOY OF A BALL GAME IN
THE SAND LOT.
A SUMMERTIME TRADITION.
AND FUN SLINGING MUD WITH
FRIENDS, THE KIND OF AFTERNOON
ANY CHILD WOULD PRESSURE.TREASURE.
THE POINT OF THIS DAY, TO GET
MESSY AND BE A KID.
WITH THE ADDED BONUS OF BEING
JOINED BY MEMBERS OF THE
NEW YORK YANKEES.
THE FIRST EVENT, BROUGHT PLAYERS
AND COACHES TOGETHER FOR THE
MUDDY PUDDLES SUGGEST.
THIS BOY WANTED TO JUMP IN
PUDDLES WHILE HE WAS BEING
TREATED FOR CANCER.
HE NEVER GOT THE CHANCE.

PARENTS EVERYWHERE, THERE'S KIDS
THAT ARE DISABLED THAT ARE NOT
ABLE TO DO THE THINGS YOUR KIDS

HOPE WEEK, THE PLAYERS AND
COACHES BROUGHT THEIR OWN
FAMILIES TO PLAY WITH FAMILIES
THAT WERE TOUCHED BY CANCER.

CARRIED ON INTO THE NEXT DAY,
WHEN THE YANKEES WELCOMED
CASSIDY WARNER TO YANKEE STADIUM
IN
.
IN APRIL, SHE POSTED A VIDEO
SAYING SHE WAS BULLIED AT
SCHOOL.
SHE SAID, I FEEL SO ALONE, I
HAVE NO ONE.
THE YANKEES POSTED THEIR OWN
VIDEO IN SUPPORT, SAYING YOU ARE
NOT ALONE.
COUNT THE NEW YORK YANKEES AMONG
YOUR FRIENDS.
AND, SEE YOU SOON.
THEIR CLUBHOUSE MEETING,
FOLLOWED BY A KICK BALL GAME IN
THE SHADOW OF YANKEE STADIUM.
>> I WAS IN THAT POSITION, TOO,
GROWING UP.
YOU FEEL LONELY AND IT'S TOUGH
TO MAKE FRIENDS.
BUT THERE'S PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOU
AND CARE ABOUT YOU.
>> Reporter: THE YANKEES
PARTNERED WITH A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION THAT AIMS TO
ERADICATE BULLYING.
CASSIDY WAS SHY IN THE FACE OF
ALL THE ATTENTION.
BUT SHE GOT HELP FROM HER NEW
FRIEND.
THERE WAS A PART THAT SAID, WE
MAY BE TALLER THAN YOU, BUT WE
LOOK UP TO YOU.
>> WE'RE TRYING TO DELIVER A
POWERFUL MESSAGE AND STOP THE
BULLYING.
SHE'S A BRAVE CHILD TO DO WHAT
SHE DID.
AND HER MESSAGE IS BEING HEARD
ACROSS THE WHOLE WORLD.
>> IF ANYONE'S GETTING BULLIED,
JUST STAY STRONG AND DON'T LET
THE BULLIES KNOW IT'S HURTING
YOU.
THEN, THEY'LL KEEP DOING IT.

NONE OF HER CLASSMATES WOULD
HAVE LUNCH WITH HER, NOW SHARING
A MEAL WITH THE YANKEES.
ACTS OF KINDNESS DON'T NEED TO
BE RANDOM.

TO A NEW YORK CITY SCHOOL AND
JOINED THINK KINDNESS.

TEACHES CHILDREN THAT GOOD DEEDS

NEVER EXPECT.

MEMBERS OF NEW YORK'S BRAVEST.
ON THE FINAL DAY OF HOPE WEEK,
FRESH AIRHARCUTS.
THE YANKEES JOINED THE YMCA FOR
HAIR CUTS.

SPENT.
THESE FOLKS, WHEN THE PLAYERS
WALK IN, THEY JUST LIGHT UP.
AND THE PLAYERS GENUINELY ENJOY
IT.
IT'S A MUTUAL EXPERIENCE.

WENT TO THE GAME YESTERDAY.
THAT'S REALLY WINNING.
THEY'RE WINNING IN THE GAME OF
LIFE BY HAVING HOPE WEEK.
