kim had him executed last year along with his entire family. with troops still protecting south korea from the north, the consequences for the u.s. and the world are enormous. north korean newspapers are harrowing kim's leadership, trying to shore up his power as some insiders claim he continues to recover from an injured leg not from, they say, political infighting in one of the world's most dangerous places. willie and tamron? >> and the mystery continue. >> sure does. >> andrea mitchell, thank you. natalie is hear with the headlines. for a second night in a row, protests in st. louis turned hostile thursday night. pepper spray was used to keep protesters back. the latest unrest stems from the deadly police shooting of byron meyers wednesday night. the teen fired shots at the officer. local leaders are now demanding an investigation by the u.s. justice department.

borrowed to pay my rent being paid back each week from my paycheck. what do you think about that? >> i'm not terribly upset about this. you need an emergency cushion, though, so that you don't have to do this in the fewer. once you're done paying it back save for the next emergency. >> quickly katherine borrowed against her plan to pay off student loans. >> that one i'm not thrilled with. student interest loan rates not so high. you'll get more growth just by continuing to leave the money in your 401(k) and investing it. >> we'll head over and look at some of the common questions people are asking right now as it relates to their 401(k). come on over, jean. how much do you put into the 401(k)? >> it depends how much you earn. lower income people, when they get to retirement, more of their monthly net will be replaced by social security. if you're a lower-income person, 11%. middle income, 15%, upper income, 16%. includes the match. don't try to get there right

away. nudge it up by 2% a year if you're not there yet. >> build an emergency cushion before putting in your 401(k). should you? >> not if you're getting matching dollars. split the difference. try to put half your money into savings for emergencies and half money into 401(k). once you have the emergency portion, put it all into the 401(k). >> this is a good one. roth 401(k) or the regular 401(k)? what is the difference? >> roth 401(k) is a lot like roth ira. if you think your tax rate is going to be higher in retirement than it is right now, this is a good thing to do. particularly good for young people. it's not an all or nothing. can you split the difference. >> great part about this, we'll keep the conversation going. jean, thank you so much. >> sure. >> we'll keep it going in the orange room. send your #get a plan. we'll get you answers from jean. coming up, cary elwes shares

and the time -- mind you, this movie is about something that gary was writing about ten years prior. there's an '80s story, written about in the '90s and recognized now maybe. but it is an important story and something that's constantly happening and couldn't be more relevant with what's happening today. >> you're not only the star of the film. you produced this. >> yeah. >> how was that journey for you, when you're portraying a real person and a story that is complex and layered? >> yeah, yeah. the best part of producing it was just acquiring the best team to support you in everything you do. when you fail, someone could pick you up. that's all i had to do, was get an amazing cast, great character. >> i love how you say that's all i had to do. that is not an easy thing when you're juggling bourne franchise and everything else you're up to these days. >> right. >> that's not easy. >> i don't feel like anything is easy. if it's easy, i wouldn't get out

of bed. i like to be challenged and go to work and try to figure things out. >> i love that about you. i think people feel that in interviews and the roles that you choose, that you love to be challenged. is that what drives you? that's one of those hokey questions. >> not in a relationship but work, i like to try to understand something more in a deeper way and figure things out. i like to problem solve. i've gotten good at that. that's what i'm attracted to. >> it is not an overnight success even though your name is everywhere these days. it took 20-plus years for to you hit it big. >> right. >> were there days when you thought this is not going to happen? >> i don't know. not going to happen? has it happened? >> oh, it has happened. you're a superstar. when the paparazzi are swirling

around, it's happened. >> i'm just doing what i love to do. if i can continue doing that and go get a meal afterwards, it's great. >> and produce projects that you love. >> i feel blessed and honored to be doing what -- i get to do what i love to do. >> let's going et to the hot st >> what's the hot stuff? >> newlywed. >> well, not new, but -- >> and a dad. how is that? >> the best. >> it's beenwhat's been the big surprise? ava berlin. beautiful name. >> she's kind of ruined my life. >> what? >> we're talking how much i love my job and all these wonderful things. that means nothing anymore. >> it's all about ava. >> now i know what real love is. it's amazing. the best thing i've experienced in my life. >> congratulations on ava, your beautiful wife and all the

>> it's all for a great cause. which one of the four of us will go down in the dunk tank this morning? >> which of the two of us, because you two are kind of out of it. >> the two are close. >> tamron's still leading the way. >> do we have the numbers? >> you guys are pretty much out of it. >> really? >> tamron has a chance right now to sway america natalie's way. >> it's not going to happen. >> i tried that yesterday and there was a surge. but my theory of why i might be leading -- and i'm not convinced i am leading. and i'm holding out hope. i told willie -- where did i go with this, with the miracle? >> voter fraud. >> she did say voter fraud. >> i did say that. >> you invoked the miracle on ice team of 1980 and said america, we can do this. the odds are stacked against us. >> i believe natalie can surge.

>> what's easier, america? let's put tamron over the top, over 50%. that's a land slide. >> land slide majority. >> mandate. >> mandate? >> yeah, a mandate. >> what does that mean? >> referendum. >> it's a referendum. >> my other theory, just quickly here, i showed this picture of a baby yesterday. it's cute and it said "deal with it." it's the baby. that baby ruined me. >> this is getting ugly. she is attacking children. zblun identified baby. >> accept the fact you're doing it for a great cause. >> she's ready. >> and you're going to do it in style. i hear you have a great wardrobe choice. >> i volunteered to go in my closet and auction off anything. didn't i say that? >> yes, you did. >> my pink dress i wore. i love this dress. i'll auction it off. i'll do anything. >> that's really wonderful. >> it's great. you're doing that.

so you're going in. >> i'm itching now. my sananxiety is picking up. >> i dreamed last night i was under water, in a mermaid costume. >> ooh. >> no, i really did. >> now we're talking. >> you had that dream, too? >> that's not right. >> and another side story of this is how me and natalie got in this situation, this runoff and you two are coasting. >> who wants to see either one of us go into a dunk tank? >> it's in the hands of the people. >> i want to. tons of people tweeted us saying what about willie? >> absolutely. i kept voting for you guys. i think there is voter fraud. every time i click on your name, that never tallies. >> the fraud is voting multiple times. >> that's the fraud.

america, especially american women would like to see in a dunk tank? >> who? >> the ceo of microsoft. >> microsoft ceo satya nadella. >> rhymes with nutella, because he's nuts. >> he was in phoenix at a conference talking to a group of women in technology. i think it's uncomfortable for women to ask sometimes for a raise. >> uh-huh. >> a woman asked that question. take a listen to his answer. >> it's not really about asking for the raise, but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along. and that, i think, might be one of the additional superpowers that, quite frankly, women who don't ask for a raise have. because that good karma, it will come back. >> i know my superpower is to make 80 cents to the dollar that every man makes. right? >> that makes no sense.

>> karma. >> i follow that logic, i'm still on a plantation picking cotton. >> oh! >> i mean, this guy -- this is so wrong. so wrong. >> let me tell you, you're not -- you're absolutely right. beyond women he is basically saying anyone who wants to rise to where he is -- >> just go with the system. it's worked well for me. >> right. >> you don't have to ask. it will just come to you like a secret. you put it out there and it will come to you eventually. >> putting karma in there. >> you blew it. >> admit it. >> why not apologize? >> he backtracked a little bit, releasing a statement on twitter, which seems to be everybody's way of apologizing. i was inarticulate, our industry must close the gender pay gap. so a raise is not needed because of a bias. "usa today," the high-tech pay gap, minorities earning less. women in technology, generally a minority as well.

it goes on to point out that hispanics, in particular, earn $16,000, on average, less than people in technology in those same jobs. >> system is working great. >> yeah. i guess if we put it out there, our karma will make us eventually earn the same. >> women tried that for a while, right? trust the system. >> it doesn't work. >> for generations. it doesn't work. >> there's a saying, my karma ran over your dogma. >> really? >> i saw it on a bumper sticker once. >> i'm falling for everything today. >> how many people, when you're taking a shower -- >> right. >> multitask and take a whiz at the same time? >> everyone pees in the shower. >> i do not. >> you're kidding me. never? >> guess what. they invented toilets. >> we're conservationists. >> in the gym?

see, that's what -- i don't want to take a shower in the -- people -- you've got to go and stand in the shower where somebody else just took a whiz? >> haven't you seen that seinfeld clip? go ahead. play it. >> you went in the shower? >> yeah. so what? i'm not the only one. >> do you go in the shower? >> no, never. >> do you? >> i take baths. >> what was i supposed to do? get out of the shower, put on my bath robe, go all the way down to the other end, come all the way back? >> did you ever hear of holding it in? >> bingo. >> no, al. you get out of the shower, wet the floor. you get cold. you use it, get back in. >> how about going before? >> sometimes it hits you, that warm water. >> it does. warm water make it is happen. >> what's going to happen in the dunk tank if i go in there. >> it's not just random. we bring this up -- maybe it is. our friends in the uk at

university -- of course it's in the uk, are encouraged to go to in the shower because they'll save $30,000 a year. >> that's a full tank of water every time you flush. >> it's a one-stop shop. embrace it. >> try it. and tweet it out. >> it's actually good for you. >> who says? >> you get stung by a jelly fish, what do they tell you to do? >> but you're already in the water. you're in the ocean. >> but, al, it's a drain. it just goes -- >> how many jelly fish are in the shower? >> there's healing power. >> they're hiding in the drain. >> but we digress. >> i can't believe i'm working with you people. >> facebook friday. jimmy fallon was discussing the #that was stupid. he had viewers submit to him moments where they had foot in mouth disease.

take a look. >> from @christina honen. i once accidentally said "i love you" at the end of a conference call. this one from @beccasup one time someone told me they had the same name as me and i asked them what theirs was. from @brayden willard and said my mom once used her flashlight on her phone to look for her phone. you're getting closer, mom. >> i will admit, i have done that. i'm talking to somebody on the phone and they said, what time have you got? let me look at the -- i can't find my phone. i'm looking for the calendar and they're like, what are you talking to me on? oh, yeah. >> i love that. when did you last put your foot in your mouth and use our #today's take. >> don't do that if you're taking a shower and a whiz. anyway, let me show you what we've got going on as far as

significant flooding. that's good morning i'm bill henley. clouds are moving in. a few scattered light showers this afternoon. the rain intensifies by tonight. by tomorrow the rain will be ending rather in the morning. sunshine in the afternoon. 61 on saturday and sunshine for sunday with a high of 63 degrees. it's monday, columbus day that could see showers but a big warm up near 80 on tuesday. >> that's your latest weather. pink or swim -- oh, rogan! in a little bit. i was trying to get an update on what was happening. >> we have a little update on mr. roker talking about your uso tour. >> make a difference day is october 25th. al doing his part.

>> americans whisper the word alzheimer's because their government whispers the word alzheimer's. and although a whisper is good it's still not enough. it needs to be yelled and screamed to the point that it gets the attention and funding it deserves and needs. i dream of a day when my charity is no longer necessary and i can go back to being the lazy self-involved man child i was meant to be. >> "hilarity for charity," seth and laura are the founding members. we'll get to hilarity for charity. to see you testify there on the senate, it's a hard thing to do. and you -- i think you roused the crowd there. although it took some doing because apparently only two senators showed up? >> yeah. in a way it was indicative of exactly what i was there to talk about, which is how the government does not prioritize alzheimer's.

it has a minuscule amount of funding in proportion to the amount of death it is actually causes every year. it's completely out of whack. for whatever reason it's not something they care about. it's not a very glamorous cause. when i'm your spokesman, that is apparent. and i think that -- yeah, i mean, again, it really was indicative of what i was there -- i was telling the government that they don't care enough about alzheimer's to two out of 16 people who are paid to listen to that. so, it was -- in a way it validated everything i was saying and probably got it a lot more attention than it would have, had everyone show ed up, honestly, because it really made it obvious that people don't care about it as much as they should. >> this is obviously very personal for you. >> yes. >> a heartbreaking disease for many people. numbers keep going up as baby boomers reach a certain age. what else can we do here? >> it's frightening. we have a get involved link on

our page, write to the government, tell them to pay attention. join, volunteer. there are things you can do. unfortunately for the disease itself, there are no treatments. there are no cures. so, all we can do is have our voices heard and take action and tell everyone that we need to pay attention. >> you have this great charity, hilarity for charity and an in-house grant program so people can get care at home. >> that's what we found has been the only thing that made the situation remotely liveable, is the fact that i'm in a very comfortable financial situation and we can pay to have someone live with lauren's mother, essentially, and provide her 24-hour care. we started to realize that the government does not subsidize this type of care as many think they should. a lot of people just can't afford it on their own. so, we have set up a program where if you can't afford it, can you apply for a grant through hilarity for charity and we will provide you with free

in-home care. >> we partnered with senior care, incredible care giving company and we're sharing the work with them. it's really, really amazing. so we'll be able to help people that can't afford it. >> bringing in the prom night theme. >> our big event next friday in l.a. the theme is prom. tulle and hopefully crimped hair. oh, no, did i ruin the surprise? >> we have your original photos. >> oh, gosh. i don't know. >> i know we have them. >> oh, this is me. this is the video i made. to entice you to go to prom. there we go. >> there we go. >> lauren with his a gymnast. and i'm in a white tie. >> by the way, one of you goes in the shower and the other doesn't. >> that's true. >> which one. >> i pee in the shower, in other showers.

not my own shower. if i ever shower at your house, look out. >> you did not know that. >> i never go in a shower in the hotel room. >> shower before me if we're in a hotel room. >> glad we got you on the record. >> here is the important thing on the record, if you want to learn more about how to donate for hilarity for charity, head to today.com. great cause. >> thank you so much. coming up, will it be tamron or natalie? votes are in. who will get dunked in our pink or swim tank? some of our crew members have already used that tank. >> before our very eyes, he grew up on the screen and now you can you wouldn't do half of your daily routine. so why treat your mouth any differently. brushing alone does less than half the job leaving behind millions of germs. complete the job with listerine®.

terse. >> they didn't spend a lot of money. >> joey from phoenix. what is up with the guys who have text relationships only. they text intimate details about their lives and make it seem like they really want to go out but never date you. i had two men do this to me and i continue to -- they continue to text and i stopped answering. why do they do that? >> you have to always come back to the male ego with this. men want their ego stroked. and having -- >> and other things. >> and other things. >> it wasn't that funny, kate. >> if they have got this stable of women that they're texting, it is like this constant validation i'm getting without -- it is low risk, low investment, and i don't have to go out and spend my time and money, maybe none of them i like that much, but i like you enough to receive your compliments and your validation. here is the thing, being single is lonely. so when you're single, where do you get your connection from? you either get it from actually going on a date with someone you

like or even less investment, you get it from texting someone and feeling a very loose sense of connection. >> there are so many women out there that think so little of themselves that they would be a part of it, they would allow themselves to be treated like that. >> and that they allow men to obfuscate the issue by saying i'm just busy and -- get a grip. if the guy isn't seeing you, he doesn't want to see you that much. and once you come to terms with that, you'll start learning, okay, let me get rid of this guy, let me talk to him differently at least. you can be honest and be bold and say, so when are you going to invite me out? >> we have a skype, katie is in from burbank, california. what's your question? >> hi, matthew. >> hi. >> so my question is i'm 27, i'm new to the los angeles area. and i've been single my whole life. i've never been in a relationship. i'm confident enough to say that. so i think i'm a pretty

confident person, i know that plays a lot in attracting a guy. i tried everything. i've done online dating. i have reached out to friends, friends of friends, i've done it all. and i'm not embarrassed about it because i put myself out there. i don't want to get married and have kids tomorrow. but, you know, i mean, i would like the opportunity one day, so i'm just looking to meet someone who i can, you know, see where it goes and i never -- it never happened for me. >> katie was it? so, katie, let me ask you, if you were really to guess at it and play me for a moment, what would you say is the issue? what would you say if you guess at it is the reason you haven't had that? >> i don't know. if i knew exactly it would have happened already because i would have tried to make changes or corrections, but the thing i've heard most that bugs the heck out of me is people said i'm too intimidating or whatever or i'm not -- people want to set me up

with, they're -- i'm not -- they're not good enough for me or i'm too -- and it is let me decide that. >> i would -- anyone who tells you that, i would stop listening to right away because they have no idea what they're talking about. there are a few things that determine how many dates you go on or how many partners you might have. one is leaving the house. sounds like you're doing that. the second is actually talking to people. so either having them come and talk to you by waving them over, giving them enough looks that you show they're flirting with them and getting them to come to you or you go to them, right? do you ever go over to the guy and say, by the way, i think you're cute. >> i have. i've given my number. i've made that step. i've made that move. >> and what happens after that? >> sometimes nothing. occasionally maybe i'll get a text. and, you know, but nothing has ever turned into a relationship. >> but have you had dates? >> i've had some dates. it has been a while. >> why has it been a while? that's what i'm interested in.

i think that if you're talking to guys and you're texting with them, you're that woman who everyone else would look at and say she's beautiful, why would she not have a relationship. you are beautiful. so i'm trying to understand myself without seeing your text messages why someone wouldn't want to date you because you're gorgeous. >> my gosh, well, thank you. i don't know. i'm trying to figure it out. i have standards, but i'm telling you, like i am always willing to give someone a shot. >> who is watching right now? >> we never know. we may have solved your problem. >> if i had to guess at it, i would probably say you're not flirting enough. you may be talking to guys, giving out your number, but there is a stage where a guy wants you to flirt where a guy can feel he's desired by you. >> will you mind continuing this on the phone with her because we have got to go. >> i'm sorry. i'm sorry. >> thank you. we wish you all the best.

sugar in it. and i don't like coconut, i'll be honest, but you can't taste it. there is ginger in there and the idea is you bake them off and if you want, want me to do it for you, kathie. dip it in chocolate. it is sweet but it has very little sugar in it. >> your daughter likes it. >> she does like it. she likes -- kids like any kind of muffin. they're cute. i give it to her after school or for school or for her friends. a fun way to make new -- also because there is pumpkin puree in it, for the fall. acorn squash. people think of squash, they think of squash foods. i roast it. she was having fun with it. so i cut it with a -- scoop out the seeds and put it in a bowl like this and hoda, do you want to do some -- >> yes, olive oil, maple syrup, a little sweetness.

>> i love how you give it to me and i dump it in. >> team work. team work. red pepper flakes to make it spicy. if you're making this for kids and they don't like spice, i wouldn't do that, yeah. put salt and pepper. a little salt. put it on a baking sheet like that, like this. and bake it. 375 for 20 to 25 minutes. i was trying to tell matthew earlier that cooking can be part of a dating process. >> yes. >> then what i do is i make a pizza out of it. once it is baked off, it looks like this. >> look how good it looks. >> eat it like that or want to try to peel the skin off of it. we take pieces at the grocery store. >> i know you don't eat cheese. no dairy for you, hoda. >> i do mozzarella. >> look, he came to learn. >> he's stalking you. that's really what's happening. >> anyway, a little -- i use gorgonzola. i like it with the squash.

or you can do cheeseless and we bake this with olive oil and herbs and then toss it with this, with the squash. so you don't have to have the cheese if you don't want to. my daughter loves cheese. it is a good thing. you bake this off, 375 for about 15, 20 minutes or so until it is golden and cheese is melted and then take the roasted squash and i put it right over the top. you can cut it up. i'll show you. >> i tried to peel it. i couldn't do it. >> you couldn't do it? take it and it should come off pretty easy. sometimes it comes off a little easier than others. >> we take your word for it. >> you can eat the skin if you want to and then just plop it on top and what i like to do is top it with a little bit of arugula for some color. and then drizzle olive oil and salt and pepper on it and this can be your finishing touch. this is great for kids to do, great to serve at a party, cut it up in little squares. >> amazing to look at your little girl and your snacks are like this stuff. we got ritz crackers and peanut butter. >> a lot of moms, kids come
