venues almost ready. we really welcome the world to come and to join us this summer. the stars of team usa set to shine terry richardson 1070. and we're celebrating live in paris and right here in studio one a today, wednesday, june 26th, 2024 from nbc news. this is today with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb from studio one-a in rockefeller plaza. hi there. good morning and welcome to today, wednesday morning, 7 a.m. on the west coast. i have no idea what time it is in paris, but it's 30 days away till the olympics. i cannot believe we're one month away. the team is taking shape. tirico mike tirico is going to be here to tell us who to watch out for. it's going to be really good. we got another image we want to show you this scene in mankato, minnesota, where that dam is in major jeopardy of failing heavy

rain expected again in that area over the next few days. we do have a full report, and al's forecast coming up on today's today's severe weather threat, but we will begin this morning with american journalist evan gershkovich appearing in a russian courtroom for the start of his trial overnight. these images you're seeing released just a short time ago, and it comes more than a year after his arrest on espionage charges that both he and the u.s. government vehemently deny and say have been trumped up by the russians. nbc's kelly cobiella joins us with the very latest on this. kelly, good morning, savannah. good morning to you. yeah. the opening day lasting just a few hours in the same city where evan gershkovich was detained and taking place behind closed doors. no reporters, family or u.s. embassy staff inside cameras were allowed for a brief few moments before the secret trial began, the u.s. embassy in moscow saying the charges are without evidence and an attempt by russia to achieve political goals. if he was nervous, he

wasn't showing it. evan gershkovich, head shaved, facing throngs of cameras this morning, the 32 year old journalist offering a small smile before the doors closed on his secret trial. seven minutes to visit evan here. no, no, we have not to even call it a trial. is unfair, evan, the wall street journal said tuesday in an open letter, adding in part no evidence has been unveiled and we already know the conclusion this bogus accusation of espionage will inevitably lead to a bogus conviction for an innocent man. gershkovich was arrested in the city of yekaterinburg in march of last year. the fluent russian speaker was on assignment and accredited by the russian government. his russian born parents telling andrea mitchell he was mostly interested in people and telling people's story. russian prosecutors accused gershkovich of collecting secret information about the country's main tank manufacturer, while offering no evidence charges. he has employer and the state

department have called completely fabricated. they have made false claims about his behavior, about his actions, about associations with the united states government that simply aren't true. the journalist has been held for 455 days, most of it in a moscow prison. he remains hopeful for his release. he's not broken, neither physically or mentally. he's in good spirits. his parents, in an earlier courtroom visit, spoke to him through a glass cage, but today they were not allowed to be by his side. we are keeping ourselves optimistic. that's the best way we can cope with it. no pessimism. pessimism will kill all the hope, hoping the nightmare will soon be over. if convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison. the u.s. has classified him as wrongly detained, and president putin has already strongly hinted that he wants a prisoner swap to secure the release of a russian man jailed in germany for murder in exchange for evan's freedom.

it's not clear how long this trial will last. savannah. he is next set to appear in court on august 13th. savannah hoda kelly cobiella with the breaking news. thank you. another major story this morning. even more extreme weather. we are keeping a very close eye on that dam in minnesota. it's partially failed as historic flooding overwhelms communities in the midwest and there is more rain on the way. we're going to get to al's full forecast in just a moment, including a new blast of heat for us up here in the northeast. but first, nbc's adrian broadus joins us from mankato, minnesota . adrian, good morning hoda. good morning to you. we have been watching this shoreline actively erode including right now. if you take a look that tree just fell into the river. and that's the scene that's been playing out all morning. and that is why officials are urging residents to stay away. the ground looks solid, but it's not stable. and if someone accidentally falls in trying to

snap a photo, first responders can't go in for a rescue this morning. destructive flooding causing chaos across the midwest. in south dakota, homes near big sioux river under water while cars and suvs are floating on roads turned into rivers. officials there warning residents to be on constant alert. it's just a reminder that these situations change quickly. in minnesota, governor tim walz surveying completely submerged communities. we're not out of the woods yet. water levels are still rising. residents near mankato bracing for the possible total failure of the rapidan dam after intense rain and rapidly rising floodwaters, caused the section next to the dam to give way. that's her life. and overnight, more devastation. in a dramatic scene, a portion of this home fell into the river. oh, my. jenny barnes and her brother david grew up and work here. david lived in the house

by the river with their dad. we know the house is gone. we know we'll never be able to go back in that house. the store is the main thing we want to try to keep, because that's we cannot replace our the store. they aren't swearing. that's the name of their family business. a historic cafe affectionately called the store. operating more than a century. that's our livelihood in sioux city, iowa, water levels are receding, but residents aren't out of the woods yet. rich and amy evacuated their mother, but they still can't reach her flooded home. it's very, very. yeah, devastating. mom's worried about her furniture. she's worried about her keepsakes. with a strong line of thunderstorms already wreaking havoc across michigan tuesday, the state is expecting even more rain by the end of the week, but through it all, neighbors have been helping neighbors. the outreach has been overwhelming. everything the support means a lot. and just moments ago, you see that swing we were sitting on when i was

speaking with jenny and her brother. it's now gone and so is the playground, just a few feet away from where that tree was. that just fell years of memories washed away in an instant. hoda. wow. to see that also adrian happening in real time behind you as all that was going on. all right adrian thank you so much. we appreciate it. yeah. be safe out there. we've got al who's got more on the storms and also the heat. that's right guys. and in fact we've got a really active area. good morning everybody from kansas city down to fayetteville springfield. we've got some severe thunderstorm watches and warnings. and you can see this area of heavy weather moving into three spots of severe weather today. back through the rockies, through the southern plains and into the ohio river valley and the northeast. 61 million people at risk for strong winds, mostly isolated tornadoes possible and damaging hail. so we're looking at this one area that's going to be moving through cleveland, ohio,

down to cincinnati. delays today and tonight into the i 95 corridor. and then tonight that system moves past. we look for some severe weather overnight in the northeast but then clears by daybreak. now for our friends there where you just saw adrian. we're talking about this storm system developing over the high plains. look for severe storms. montana, nebraska. then on friday, this heavy area of rain that's going to affect those swollen rivers. and in fact, you can see a lot of this area from southern minnesota into iowa, moderate to major flooding as another half inch to almost an inch of rainfall. and in fact, we could see a little bit more of that. and in the next half hour, we're going to take a look at the heat. 48 million people under a heat advisories and warnings from oklahoma, texas, all the way into the northeast, guys. all right, al, thank you. so much. appreciate it. final preparations are underway for tomorrow night's critical presidential debate. the first face to face between president biden and former president trump in four years. we're also learning that trump may announce

his running mate sooner than expected. nbc's senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez is in atlanta. that's where the face off will take place. hey, gabe. good morning. hey there hoda. good morning. president biden has been preparing for this debate at camp david for just under a week. former president trump has been at mar a lago after holding some public events over the weekend. tomorrow's showdown will mark the first time a current president has ever debated a former commander in chief. this morning, a day before the historic debate between president biden and former president trump, there are new signs the republican ticket could be set faster than expected, and we'll make a decision fairly soon. and i think people will be very happy with this decision. four sources familiar with the situation tell nbc news. there have been high level discussions about moving the timeline for announcing trump's pick for vice president to as early as this week to make a splash among the top contenders. north dakota governor doug burgum and senators jd vance and marco

rubio all expected to be here in atlanta for thursday night's debate. all at some point have criticized their possible running mate, burgum. last year as a presidential candidate, said he wouldn't do business with trump. i just think that it's important that you're judged by the company you keep and i you just wouldn't do business with him. no, i wouldn't. this was vance back in 2016. i'm a never trump guy. i never liked him. and this was rubio in 2016 when he ran for president against trump. what we are dealing with here, my friends, is a con artist. ahead of the debate, trump and his allies are ramping up their attacks on president biden, accusing him without evidence of planning to use performance enhancing drugs. tomorrow, he'll come out all up, right? all up. the biden campaign firing back, saying donald trump is so scared of being held accountable for his toxic agenda that he and his allies are resorting to desperate, obviously false lies. meanwhile, president biden's team is trying to win over

moderate republican voters by announcing overnight the endorsem*nt of former illinois congressman and frequent trump critic adam kinzinger. it's because of my unwavering support for democracy that today, as a proud conservative, i'm endorsing joe biden for reelection. also, this morning, results from a closely watched house primaries overnight. jamaal bowman, the controversial progressive democrat from new york, a fierce critic of israel losing his race while in colorado, outspoken trump supporter lauren boebert winning after switching districts back to the debates. some of the rules are very different from previous years. there will be no live studio audience if a candidate goes over their allotted time, their microphone will be muted and there will be commercial breaks. although campaign staff will not be allowed to interact with their candidate at any time. savannah. gabe gutierrez in atlanta. that's where the action will be thursday night. nbc news will have special coverage and analysis of the first

presidential debate. that's tomorrow night. in the meantime, the supreme court could rule as soon as this morning on several closely watched issues that are front and center in the 2024 race, among them abortion and reproductive rights and whether former president trump is immune from criminal prosecution for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. let's bring in nbc's senior legal correspondent, laura jarrett. let's start right there with this trump immunity case. this really dictates whether or not his trial goes forward. on the january 6th related charges. let's talk about what is before the court. all right. several possible paths here. they could say he's completely immune from any prosecution. that seems highly unlikely. they could say he's not immune for anything that seems unlikely, because it would be setting a precedent for all presidents going forward. i think what's most likely is they're going to set a new rule for all criminal prosecutions of any former president going forward, because they've never had to do that before. i think they want to set the legal standard, but then they're going to make the lower court go ahead and apply that legal standard based on the facts in this

indictment against trump, which means it's going to be delayed. that's going to take a long time to go back down. and then whatever the lower court says, he can appeal that too. and so i think as people are thinking about, well, why would it take so long to get to trial before november? it's because of all of that process still has to happen. and bottom line, if he were to win in november, the likelihood is that he would dismiss that case almost certainly taking office. okay certainly there's a january 6th case that has to do with the one of the january 6th defendants who was charged with something specific, obstruction of an official proceeding, which was january 6th, trying to certify the election in congress and the issue is whether or not that law applies here. yes. big ramifications for others who've been convicted under that law. yeah. more than 100, more than 200 people have actually been charged with that. and so it could affect potentially all of those prosecutions as well. they say going to the capitol, storming the capitol is not an obstruction of official proceeding. it wouldn't be throwing out the whole statute, but it would be narrowing it, which would be about 50 people, where all of those charges would be completely dismissed, and more than 100 where they've been charged with a couple of things, including the former president. he's been charged with that as

well. it applies differently to him because he didn't storm the capitol. so it's a little bit different application in his case. but he would of course use it as a ground to again, try to delay. and then finally a major abortion case, one of the strictest abortion bans in the country is idaho state law. it's coming up against a conflict in federal law, and the supreme court will have the final say. and it's not just idaho. it's at least six states that have an exception. if the mother's life is on the line. but what if the mother's health is on the line? what if she's at risk of losing an exception to the abortion ban that they have? exactly exactly. and so federal law says you have to provide stabilizing care, even if that stabilizing care involves an abortion. and idaho is saying our doctors can't do that. and so they're going to have to reconcile that conflict. all right, laura, lots to watch. thank you very much. all right. 716 we bring craig to the table, travels on your mind already, hoda. savannah good morning. good morning to you. as well. 4th of july. it's still eight days away, but millions of americans are already heading out on vacation. in fact, the

tsa set a new record over the weekend for passenger screened in a single day. they screened nearly 3 million people, and it expects that that mark is going to be eclipsed in the coming days. nbc's kathy park is at chicago's o'hare international airport with more on this, this race to get away. hey, kathy. hey, craig. good morning to you. yeah it's already pretty busy here at o'hare, and it's expected to get even more busier. crowded toward the end of the week. and according to tsa, friday will be a peak travel day. millions will be getting on out of here. and according to the tsa, this will likely be the busiest summer we've seen in quite a while. if it feels like airports are more crowded than ever before, that's because they are. the tsa says seven of the top ten busiest travel days ever have happened over the past month. it seems to be taking longer. this gets a little bit more frustrating. the agency expects to screen more than 32 million airline passengers starting tomorrow through monday, july 8th. the

airlines are gearing up to. united says it's expecting about 5 million travelers over the extended 4th of july period. that's up 7% from last year. we know that that we've done what we can to prepare and get ready for it. united says. it's hired more than 4000 new employees this year and is on pace for its busiest summer ever. delta, launching its premium delta one lounge at jfk airport today, says it's also ready for the travel crunch. memorial day weekend was a was a very significant, high watermark for us. i think the 4th of july will be another, higher watermark. travel experts say the high demand comes as airfares have dropped from last year's peak. the good news is prices for 4th of july, though they are typically higher than the average summer prices. they were lower than what we saw last year by about 18. while there's no way to completely avoid the crowds, experts say you can save yourself time and hassle by

planning ahead. arrive early, set aside extra time for parking and airport traffic. download your airline's app. sign up for a trusted traveler program like tsa precheck or global entry, and maybe most important, try to keep cool. patience and a friendly attitude can make the journey less stressful. being kind, being courteous it really goes a long way, especially around these kinds of busy holiday travel periods. now, another tip to pass along if you have some flexibility with your travel plans, experts say you might want to consider flying out on july 3rd or on the holiday itself, july 4th, to avoid the larger crowds. meanwhile, if you haven't booked your summer travel just yet, probably a good idea to do that now. and you can actually score some good deals. save some money if you travel out on tuesday wednesday and return by midweek. craig. all right, some good tips there. kathy park for us at chicago o'hare. thank you kathy can't talk travel without talking weather. mr. roker, what

high profile case has captured the attention of social media sleuths and hundreds of pink striped karen reed supporters who gather outside norfolk superior courthouse. her defense claims this is all one big cover up, and their client is the scapegoat. while the prosecution argues the evidence speaks for itself. brie this morning, jury deliberations are underway in massachusetts in the highly publicized and social media crazed murder trial of karen reed. karen, how are you feeling leaving court today? right now, i don't know if nerves are the right, right word, anticipation. the 44 year old is accused of killing then boyfriend, boston police officer john o'keefe, in 2022, with prosecutors arguing she ran him over with her suv outside the home of another officer in canton. following a night of drinking, accusing her of fleeing the scene and leaving him to die in blizzard like conditions. i hit him, i hit

him, i hit him, was the words of the defendant reed, who did not take the stand in her own defense, has pleaded not guilty to second degree murder, vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and leaving the scene of a collision. the two month long trial coming to an end on tuesday, with the prosecution leaning into what they describe as a constellation of facts and evidence, including broken taillight pieces recovered in the snow, which they argue are from reed's suv and o'keefe's dna recovered on the back of reed's vehicle, the case growing into a phenomenon online, with social media sleuths turning out new theories about the investigation. somehow, they found a clear glass in the snow right away, and yet we're unable to see any of the red tail light in the snow. aiden kearny street, a controversial blogger by the name of turtle boy spearheading reed's online support. every single minute wasted going after karen reed is time that could be spent going after the actual people who killed and helping

boost the defense's long held stance. their client is being framed by the massachusetts state police, saying john o'keefe was beaten and dragged outside by a fellow officer. ladies and gentlemen, there was a cover up in this case, plain and simple, in which the prosecution has repeatedly denied as false. there is no conspiracy. last year, reed, recalling that fateful night to dateline's dennis murphy, did you say i wonder if i hit him? i said, did i kill him? i said, could i have hit him? now? with reed's fate lying in the hands of a jury, anticipation building over a final verdict. so prosecutors have they offered a motive here? they don't have to under the law, but have they? well, prosecutors allege that reed and o'keefe that night were out at a local bar that they were drinking, that they got into a fight, that the relationship was falling apart amidst allegations of cheating. now reed, if convicted, faces up to life in prison as for turtle boy, you saw him mentioned in the story that pro reed, social

crowd out there, by the way. right. we'll be out in a bit to say, hey, cheerleaders. all right, let's get to your news at 8:00. we'll begin with american journalist evan gershkovich appearing in a russian court this morning for the start of his trial. it comes more than a year after the us government says he was falsely arrested on espionage charges. nbc's kelly cobiella is in london with the very latest. kelly. good morning savannah, good morning. the us embassy this morning in moscow said the charges are without evidence and an attempt by russia to achieve political goals. the opening day of this secret trial, lasting just a couple of hours in the same city where evan gershkovich was detained, the 32 year old journalist for the wall street journal, appearing in front of cameras, head shaved for the first time, giving a small smile before the doors closed on his top secret trial. no cameras, no reporters, family or u.s. embassy staff has been allowed in to watch the proceedings. gershkovich was arrested in the city of yekaterinburg in march of last year. he's a fluent

russian speaker. he was on assignment and fully accredited by the russian government. the russians now accusing him of spying, claims he his employer and the biden administration say are completely fabricated. the us has classified him as wrongly detained, and this is potentially about a prisoner swap. president putin has already strongly hinted that he wants to secure the release of a russian man jailed in germany for murder in exchange for evan. it's not clear how long his trial will last, but he's not set to appear in court again until august 13th. savannah. all right, kelly cobiella with that breaking news. thank you. federal investigators have confirmed the cause of last year's train derailment in east palestine, ohio, that led to the evacuation of more than 2000 residents. the ntsb says the accident was caused by a wheel bearing that was on fire for more than 20 miles, but wasn't caught because of faulty track

sensors. more than three dozen freight cars derailed, including 11 cars carrying hazardous materials. the board also said that norfolk southern botched a decision three days later to blow open five tank cars and burn the vinyl chloride inside the railroad. for its part, says it stands by the decision. also this morning, china is saying farewell to two giant pandas who are headed to their new home in the united states, the san diego zoo, getting ready to welcome their newest residents. nbc's janis mackey frayer is with us in china with more on this big trip. hey, janice, good morning. hey, guys. good morning. it's panda sendoff day here. we've got a master class in lounging and the countdown is on for yunchuan and shen bao to make their trip from the panda base here to the airport and on to the u.s, where fans are gearing up to welcome pandas once again. after months of preparations, the pandas are ready. yunchuan and shen bao, the first giant

pandas in 20 years to leave china for the u.s. a delegation from san diego is here for the sendoff. there's a magic that i can't begin to explain, but you all feel it whenever you get an opportunity to see one up close and you see them look back in your eyes, it's powerful. the pandas and a lot of food for in-flight meals will make a 7000 mile journey from this research base, where they were born to their new home in california. handler huang xiang will travel with them. is it hard to say goodbye? absolutely. we consider them our friends, he says. most pandas need a few months to adjust to new food, smells and sounds. it marks the revival of china's panda diplomacy in a bid to boost strained relations with the u.s, with more pandas bound for american zoos, including washington, d.c. later this year. but not everyone here likes the idea of china parting so easily with national treasures. criticism and

protests have spread on social media, saying it's a mistake to trust the u.s. this is where the pandas are, and when it's time to go, they'll go from here. but there is so much secrecy around their departure plans, and when they'll make their public debut, anxious fans will soon learn that yunchuan can be naughty and simbu likes the sound of birds. you know, we're always looking out for what's best for the pandas, and so we want to make sure that nothing distracts from us. just doing the best by the giant pandas. experts here say the pair like each other in a way that could someday mean panda babies. they're also now familiar with hearing some english, like good boy and good girl. and with that, they're good to go. so the big question, of course, when are people going to be able to see the pandas? and the short answer to that, not right away. it'll be at least a month for the pandas to get used to their new environment and everything that comes with it. what we do know

is that they're going to be celebrating their next birthdays in the u.s. they were born days apart. at the end of july, they're going to be getting birthday cakes made of frozen fruit and carrots. they might still be in quarantine, so it could be a private birthday party. but zoo officials are willing to tell us that the pandas will be making their debut this summer. guys, back to you, okay? a lot of people waiting for that day to come. they're getting smashed cakes for their birthday. yeah exactly. all right, coming up, folks, the votes are in tens of thousands of you voted. so carson is going to reveal the final four in our search to find the best summer blockbuster of all time. all right, but first, she played a woman battling alzheimer's in the notebook. well, now, oscar nominee gena rowlands is fighting the disease in real life. the heartfelt announcement from her family right after this. if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease, put it in check with rinvoq, a once daily pill. when symptoms tried to take control, i got rapid

three row infiniti qx80. welcome back. this morning, friends and fans of gena rowlands are reacting to the news that the beloved actress has alzheimer's disease. her award winning career has spanned nearly seven decades, but for a certain generation, her most memorable role is an aging alley calhoun in the notebook. nbc's kaylee hartung joins us with more on this story. kaylee good morning. hey, good morning guys. gena rowlands son, director nick cassavetes, shared the health update with entertainment weekly that just like her character in the iconic love story, his mother has been battling alzheimer's for the past five years and is now in full dementia. hi i'm ellie, 20 years after gena rowlands on screen portrayal of a woman battling alzheimer's first captivated audiences in the notebook. it's a beautiful story. yes, it is. i don't know why, but it makes you

feel sad. her son revealing that the legendary actress was diagnosed with the disease five years ago and is now in full dementia. as the director of the notebook, it was nick cassavetes who cast his mother as the older version of rachel mcadams character ali. i remember ana. it was us. it was us, cassavetes now telling entertainment weekly . we spent a lot of time talking about alzheimer's and wanting to be authentic with it, and it's so crazy. we lived it, she acted it, and now it's on us. it was a particularly difficult role for rowlands to take on in an interview with o magazine, just as the movie was released, she shared that her mother had alzheimer's and said if her son nick hadn't directed the film, i don't think i would have gone for it. it's just too hard. it was a tough but wonderful movie. what's going to happen when i can't remember anything anymore?

what will you do? i'll be here. i'll never leave you now 94 years old, rowlands storied career has spanned nearly seven decades. making movies has been the family business. her acclaimed late husband, john cassavetes, was also an actor and directed rowlands in 1970 four's a woman under the influence. i had the hiccups a little while ago, but i got rid of them, a leading performance that earned her one of her two oscar nominations, and after a number of projects with her son, the notebook would be their final collaboration. when you feel loved, you're liable to do some of your better work. the notebook is of course, based on nicholas sparks 1996 debut novel, and through the years it's been the relatability of that story. sparks says that resonates with so many whose families have been touched by dementia, reassuring them that even if your lost love will endure, guys well, she has a lot

of love around her. kaylee. thank you. i want to turn now to nbc news medical contributor doctor tara narula. good morning. good morning. obviously, you're not treating gena rowlands, but it's interesting. they said she's had it for five years, but now full dementia. is that the traditional trajectory and onset ? it is a progression, an unrelenting progression of this disease that we have no cure for, where someone really does lose the essence of him or herself. and that's why it's so heartbreaking for families, because you see patients go from mild to moderate to severe stages. so in the beginning, there may be things like memory impairment, which we all think about, and then changes in your ability to do simple tasks, disorientation to time and space. trouble with language, be feeling like you don't know who people are, where you are, confusion, mood changes, judgment changes. so again, really stripping you or stripping the person of who they once were, we think the life expectancy generally 4 to 8 years. but some people can live as long as 10 to 20 years. the risk factors are obviously

there. and gena mentioned we talked in the story about how her mother had it. that's why she wasn't even sure she wanted to play that character at all in the notebook. is that the main influence on whether or not you're going to get alzheimer's? so age is the biggest risk factor once you pass 65, we do see the rates go up, but certainly family history does play a role. we know that if you had a parent or a sibling with alzheimer's, you are at increased risk, we also know that it's probably not one gene, but multiple genes in combination with your exposure to certain lifestyle or environmental factors. and then we think there may be some vascular disease that may be additive. so things like obesity and hypertension and diabetes may also contribute. i know there's always research going on . we don't have certainly don't have a cure. are there any treatments right now that are showing any promise? there are i mean, there are drug therapies that we standardly use to kind of slow progression. and then we've talked here about lackenby and donanemab, which are these anti-amyloid drugs that are given as iv infusions or injections. there are about 130, 140 drugs being studied in trials right now, but really not

much yet. that's why this is so frustrating. yeah, a lot of people working on this though. doctor narula, thank you so much. we appreciate it. all right, mr. roker, how about a check of the weather? all right guys, good morning to you. we're looking at severe storms in the northeast, developing right through the ohio river valley, heat down through the gulf, monsoonal moisture bringing some possible flash flooding through the southwest. sunny skies along the west coast. some showers in the pacific northwest and the western plains. that's what's going on around the country. here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. today we'll see temperatures in the mid 80s as we go into the afternoon, and we don't have any more chances of rain or lightning in the bay area. it's also going to be nice and sunny as we go toward the end of the week, and the weekend is looking nice, but we'll start to warm up just a little bit on sunday and hotter temperatures ahead for early next week, possibly some triple digits by next tuesday. and san francisco keeps it mild with low clouds and fog and temperatures in the upper 60s through the weekend.

windows, but you're just not sure if they're in the budget this year, right? i'm brian gary here with ted from renewal by anderson, and he's here to talk about how to make window replacement more affordable. well, first, brian, you don't have to do them all. you could just replace your worst windows first. or another way to make them affordable is to change the style of window. for example, you could do a gliding window instead of a casem*nt. we have a lot of ways to make window projects really affordable compared to other window companies. you have a completely different business model. yeah, with other companies there's too just many people involved in the process. there's the manufacturer, the seller, and then the installer and then the customer. and if you call with a problem, that's when they say, oh, well, we're the manufacturer. you have to call the installer for that problem, or vice versa. we're the full service replacement window division of anderson with us. there's no passing the buck at renewal by andersen. we sell, build, install and warrant our windows and patio doors. so if there's ever an issue, we take full responsibility for it. why

don't you sell vinyl windows? well, a lot of vinyl products just don't hold up. well in the elements, you know, like a vinyl fence. when it's first installed, it looks great, but with expansion and contraction it discolors and cracks for that same reason. a lot of vinyl windows just won't last. our window material is a composite that combines the best of vinyl and wood. well, fibrex is low maintenance like vinyl, but stronger than vinyl. and it's beautiful like wood, but doesn't require the upkeep of wood. replace your windows and doors now and don't pay anything for a year. it's renewal by anderson's buy now, pay later event before june 30th. save $299 on every window. save $799 on every door. and best of all, don't pay anything for one full year. that's the pay later part. nice, right? this event ends june 30th. call one 800 603 7272.

back now 836. on this wellness wednesday, we've all heard the phrase life is a journey and sometimes that journey is a tough one, especially when major transitions leave you feeling overwhelmed or stuck. well luckily yasmine cheyenne is here to help us out. she's a self-healing educator, a mental wellness advocate, the author of a new book, beautiful title. it's called called wisdom of the path, the beautiful and bumpy ride to healing and trusting your inner guide. it's so good to see you happy that you're here. thank you for having me. when you talk about people being stuck, i think sometimes we are stuck in like a part of our life that we think there's no way out. we don't even know we need to be healed to get out of this place. but healing is essential if you want to get unstuck, right? absolutely. and i think so many of us are craving connection. we're craving joy. we're craving peace. but without healing, we feel limited by our past. we judge ourselves. we're hard on ourselves. so healing gives us the conduit. it's the tool that helps us forgive and move forward. i think a lot of people are like, i'm fine. a lot

of people have this attitude. my past is my past. i can't change it. i'm just moving forward now. i'm not dealing with that. but that means you're carrying all that junk in your backpack as you're trudging along through life, and it is coming along with you, isn't it? absolutely. and if you're honest, like you know that that stuff from your past is something that you're judging yourself about unconsciously healing. we don't have to uncover everything, but healing is an opportunity to the things that are those barriers, those blocks in your life. yeah, look at them, confront them, and then you can actually have that. the peace, the joy and the love that you're seeking in your life. yeah. someone once told me that when you make a leap to, like, change, make a big change in your life, your blessings are sometimes on the other side. they're not coming for you while you're hunkered down saying, where's all the good stuff coming in my life? sometimes you have to wait till you jump absolutely in the path to the other side, which is what wisdom of the path is about, is bumpy. yeah, it's not fun. all of the time. a lot of the times it's keeping us the fear. what am i going to discover when i look at that past stuff? but on the

other side, you witness all of the joy, all of the things there. it is. and i also just feel like, give yourself the chance. so many of us are afraid to take that step, but when you take it, you realize the fear was the thing that was holding me back in the first place. i like what you say about complaining. you just say a lot of people are like, you know, glass half full. you're like, go ahead and complain. listen, can you complain with me this morning? it's what's one thing that is something you can complain about that you you might not admit? let me tell you my philosophy and you probably agree with this, but i feel like when i start giving life and breath to something that's on my jangly, it becomes two. it becomes bigger. it's like i'm giving it more oxygen. so like, you know, if i miss a flight, instead of saying, oh god, what a horrible experience. it's just like, i missed the flight and i got home. like, i try not to live there, but i hear you, i hear tell me about your philosophy. i feel like when we complain, we give it freedom. i look at the thing, okay, i'm upset about my flight. i'm going to use your example. i'm excited

about my flight. i call a friend, i say i'm so. i'm so disappointed. yeah. and they say that's really hard. i feel validated. yeah, i get the empathy. i realize i'm not overreacting. and it also gives me freedom to complain in the future about things that are really hard, because we hold all of that stuff in and we have that shame. and i, i'm a recovering perfectionist, so i don't like to complain. you know, i'm like, just push forward, just move forward. but when we give ourselves that freedom, we really give ourselves that compassion we need. wait. the phrase recovering perfectionist is so good. so you've been you are a perfectionist most of your life and you just decided what? enough with uncle. well, i'm in recovery, right? so it's a constant battle, but i'm learning that if i look at myself with compassion and grace, the same grace that i give to everyone else that i love, then i can free myself too. yeah. where did this wisdom come from? give me a little bit about where this started. when did you start on this healing journey? i definitely started, you know, after my military service. i think serving definitely opens you up to seeing so many experiences and so much of what people went through. and being a victim advocate, i definitely got to

witness people experiencing hard things, but i've learned the wisdom from doing this work myself. i know that when you commit to your healing, you can have the life that you deserve. and the workshops that i teach, and the one on ones that i have with people i've seen people's lives transform in ways that they never would have imagined. and i've and i've done it myself, too. and it's a it's a process. i'm still doing it. take the leap, take the lead, take the leap. thank you. i'm so happy that the military guided you here. and now you're, you know, helping other people heal. thank you so much. i really appreciate it. you can get the book. it's called wisdom of the path. find it on our website at today.com. slash books coming up next. country music's masked star orville peck is opening up about his journey to success with a beautiful message for all of us to honor in pride month. joe fryer is here to share that inspiring conversation. but first, this is today on nbc. northern california homes have always been at the heart of airport home appliance in all shapes and sizes, because there's not just one type of neighborhood, family or

morning we're shining a light on an up and coming country music star. that's right. his name is orville peck and he's collaborating with some of the biggest icons in music and nbc's joe fryer is here. and you sat down with orville. how'd that go? yeah, i understand some of you are already pretty big fans, which i am, too. now orville peck is really a throwback to country in the 60s and 70s. he's got a deep voice like johnny cash. he wears a mask like the lone ranger, so we don't totally know what he looks like. and he's breaking through. his label says he has a quarter of a billion streams in a genre where not too many artists are out and proud. let me drown his voice is distinctive, even if his face is elusive. orville peck is a real life masked singer who's packing music venues, making this lone ranger far from lonely. where did the idea come from to actually do a mask? i kind of liked bringing back that trope of, like, the outlaw and the mystery behind it. and what's the response people have to it,

the first few years were interesting. i think now everyone's kind of gotten used to it. at first, his masks were draped with fringe. these days, he's revealing a bit more. the one thing he has never hidden is being gay. before you were able to break through, was there a point where you thought, i'm a queer artist that's going to make it hard for me to make it big? i'll be honest, not really. when i first started, that didn't ever cross my mind. you know, all i thought was, i'm going to write love songs and tell stories that are my stories. and, you know, for me, my love songs are about loving men. see the boys as they walk on by. fittingly, this is the only child hood picture we have of orville was born in south africa and raised in canada during a fire where he first heard a johnny cash album and was hooked. roses from falling for you. today, many say he sounds like cash. just one of many old school crooners who've

inspired him. how do you describe your music to folks? i describe my music as country, and then sometimes i get people giving me a strange, like kind of like a ooh. and then i say, no, no, it's good country being in your arms is what i came here for. so good. his new album, stampede, features duets with legends, a cover of saturday night's alright with elton john selecting a new song, midnight ride, with kylie minogue and diplo let me take you on a midnight ride and this tune with one of his heroes, cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other. what'd you think? all them saddles and boots was about ? the song titled cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other, was written in the 80s, then covered about 20 years ago by willie nelson, who recently asked peck if they could sing it

together. i didn't realize how much validation and healing would sort of come from that, because i think not having that queer country visibility growing up, it's like the most sort of encouraging, validating thing for like that little kid in me as well, you know, also validating receiving glaad's vito russo award this year for accelerating lgbtq plus acceptance. it was presented by his close friend jennifer lawrence. there is a solidness and a self-respect and love that orville has for himself that he effortlessly casts onto other people. you're maybe not on a lot of the top 40 country stations, but you have this huge following, and i feel like being yourself is a part of that, right? 1,000. the second i decided to just be myself completely, unapologetically, you know, that's when things started really connecting for other people as well. the power of what can happen when your true self is unmasked. this summertime. so i went to an

orville peck concert in chicago. and what's extraordinary is the diversity of his audience, from true blue country fans who are in their 60s and 70s to queer kids and drag queens. and he loves just looking out and seeing that diversity. volume one of his duets album, stampede is already out. volume two drops in august and will feature even more duets, including songs with beck and with mickey guyton. volume one is i played almost every other day. my father in law last summer. he's like, you got to check out this orville peck guy. listen to him. i mean, his voice. and he writes and he writes his own songs. he writes his own stuff. it's extraordinary stuff. and a lot of. i saw him first on like, a shania documentary, and i was like, who's the guy with the mask and all of a sudden you hear them together and you see the respect of the artist and you're like, oh, cool. he did a great song with a few years ago, too. i knew you'd like that. you'll ever take the mask off and perform? well. we'll see. i mean, you know, it's changed over time, but to him, the mask, the same way he sort of sees,

like dolly parton where his wigs and, you know, the sequins to him, that's just part of his aura, you know? okay cool. by the way, this is beautiful. thank you. morning thank you very much. coming up next, we're going to take a cue from martha stewart this 4th of july and make an american flag cake. she's going to show us how it's done and share some other festive ideas for the holiday. but first, this is today on nbc. alameda county fair is here. catch that summer feeling with delicious fair food, thrilling carnaval rides, racing pigs, fireworks, live horse racing and more. plus, the big o tires concert series come out and play open through july seventh, scan qr or visit alameda county fair dot com when you truly show up. ready there's no need to show off the bmw, x3 and x5 are defined by world class design and engineering. take on the energizing utility of the adventurous bmw x3, or balance luxury and versatility with the dynamic x5. excellence runs in the family, but that's what you'd expect from the ultimate
