7:01 am
jong-un in north korea this morning. why it's raising concerns in washington. later, saying farewell to the say hey kid. how baseball is honoring icon willie mays who died at 93. . and as cities across the country celebrate the juneteenth holiday, we'll take you to one chicago community where families are gathering despite the brutal heat. it is great to have you with us. it is 10:00 eastern and i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. we begin with the dangerous weather facing millions across the country, lashing rains and strong winds already hitting the gulf coast for what could be the season's first tropical storm. and wildfires turning deadly burning up the west fueled by the dry heat that's also baking millions of people from michigan to maine, a day after temperatures broke records across the country. nbc's sam brock is standing by
7:02 am
for us on a looming storm in galveston, texas. maura barrett is in chicago. there's a little bit of a breeze thankfully there. we know it can be hot. it can be humid. what are people doing to cope with this heat? >> reporter: yeah, ana, this breeze is really welcomed today coming into our fourth day of this heat wave here in chicago, and it's not -- it's expected to last through the weekend. the humidity still a factor here as well. we have that stifling stagnant heat that usually happens. again, the wind,ing with able to get in the water is a huge relief for folks here in chicago, especially as 75 million people are at risk as that heat wave moves east, as you mentioned from michigan to maine. the heat index is supposed to spike as high as 102 degrees in maine. it's important to note out in the northeast, a lot of folks, their homes don't have air-conditioning. they don't normally need it. here in chicago, the city had
7:03 am
opened since or seven cooling centers. because today is a holiday, the juneteenth holiday, they're closing most of their cooling centers, only keeping one open. people go to public libraries to get air-conditioning. because of the holiday, those libraries are closed. there's adjusted hours at public pools as well as the parks district. officials are warning people to make sure they're staying hydrated as well as staying in the shade. according to also flag, more air quality alerts coming into play across the midwest and into the east. when you factor that in on top of this intense heat, that's a real health risk for people with breathing issues, lung irritation. one girl i met on the beach talking about how she can feel it with her asthma because this heat is so stifling. this is something that we're seeing just, you know, the day before the official start for summer, people still are already trying to cool down and seek any cold opportunities. just saw some folks swimming in the lake here. it's about 60 degrees, so frigid temperatures but a much needed
7:04 am
respite in this stifling heat. again, we're expected to see this heat wave, this heat dome last through the weekend, ana. >> and sam, you're there in texas and galveston where the first tropical storm of the season is headed. you're already getting pounded by the surf there. what kinds of preparations are you seeing? >> reporter: sure, so ana, let me set the stage. the issues are wind and storm surge, for an area jutting out onto the gulf of mexico. over my shoulder, you'll see the violence of the gulf lashing into the seawall. the seawall is 17 feet high. it runs all the way up and down galveston. as you drive down seawall boulevard, you're not seeing a lot of flooding on that road, but i just spoke with our producer, she's about 30 minutes away in another bedroom community here, and they're seeing flooding all over the place. residents who are unable in some cases to access their homes. we're about to check that out. in terms of preparations here in galveston, they have repositioned some of their high
7:05 am
water vehicles to fire stations near areas that they know are prone to flooding, so they can respond if residents need help, and on the statewide level, ana, the governor here is ready, some 20 agencies, which includes everything from texas a&m forest services which has strike teams to the national guard to public safety. all these officials out with the resources necessary to help people, if they need to be helped, and this is the number one point of messaging right now. do not drive through standing water if that's what you're seeing on the roadways around you. it's the deepest concern for officials and for emergency responders. so far, you know, we're just feeling the effects of the wind and storm surge. we are waiting to see what this coastal flooding might look like. it is not just galveston, all the way down to brownsville which is some 400 miles away. folks bracing to see what this will look like by the end of the day. >> thank you both, we hope everybody takes the right precautions and stays safe. joining us with more on the
7:06 am
dangers of the extreme heat and how to protect yourself, msnbc medical contributor, and global health policy expert dr. vin gupta. it's good to have you here. thank you so much. this is perhaps life saving information we're going to give people here. we know heat can kill more than any other extreme weather. it happens every year. why is that? what happens to the body? >> you know what happens, first of all, thank you for as always highlighting public health issues. what we've seen with heat is that it actually just causes one's cardiovascular system unfortunately to collapse, when we start getting from heat stress to heat exhaustion, what's happening? heart rate's increasing, blood pressure's decreasing and people can pass out. we are going through dizziness to confusion to just not responding. that's what we worry about here, and how do we detect that early enough to avoid it? how do we avoid it in the first place? we have to focus on hydration, humidity and heart rate. it's not necessarily just water
7:07 am
and there's other ways to hydrate yourself. >> you say skim milk? >> absolutely. we don't talk enough about this. skim milk is not just great protein, of the 8 ounces of skim milk, most of that stays in the blood vessels. it's chock full of other electrolytes, other proteins that help it stay in the blood vessels. a lot of that water doesn't stay in the blood vessels. it's much more hydrating. you have to focus on the humidity. it's humid in the northeast. humidity means in addition to heat that you can't necessarily sweat off your body's core temperature if it's increasing at an increased clip. you need to be able to sweat, but if it's high humidity, you won't necessarily be able to sweat off that heat inside your body temperature. that's a problem here. look at humidity. if you're going to go out and do an exercise, we're talking about this for the paris olympics. we need to know what are the parameters by which people
7:08 am
should not be doing soccer practice or participating in the olympic games. >> let's talk about the guidance for today because obviously it's a holiday. there might be people out celebrating. it's getting to be summertime, kids are heading off to camp. everybody has air-conditioning. if you're one of those families, having to head outdoors or having to deal without, what are the top things we should be thinking about or monitoring? >> before we only talk about temperature. make sure you're looking at humidity. google it before you go out. 65% humidity or higher. try to avoid anything that you can avoid such as a workout if you're going to do that. some people have to work outside. what do they do? every 30 minutes, it's mandated actually by workplace law, by workplace safety laws they need to be able to take a break, have shade, wear some sort of head covering, having an electrolyte replete drink next to them.
7:09 am
i recommend to my patients who may have underlying diseases, make sure you have your refills for your inhalers. it's not just heat, it's poor air quality in lots of the west coast and parts of the midwest. that's a synergistic set of risks. you have heat that's stressing the heart, poor air quality stressing the lungs. that one-two punch is detrimental to the human body. make sure you have chronic makes. you're staying up on your refills. what do you do, especially if you don't have ac? i recommend having a water spray bottle. if you're going to take the subway, for example, misting yourself with water helps cool down your internal body temperature by a few degrees, which is critical. why does that matter, ana? for every 10 degrees increase in external temperature, your internal body temperature increases by one. what does that do to your resting heart rate? shoot it is up by 10%. a lot of us have wearable
7:10 am
devices, but one in two americans have some sort of tracker on their risk. what we see people don't look enough at their resting heart rate, but i can tell you a lot about what's happening with your hydration level. >> so interesting. >> so the higher the heart rate, the more you need to hydrate. >> hydrate or could be an early sign of heat stress. your heart is responding to your internal body temperature increasing. it increases by about 10 to 15% here f. your resting heart rate is 70 and you're noticing it's 85 to 90 in the setting of a hot, humid day, that might be an early sign of heat stress. >> good information to keep in mind and continue to check. thank you so much, dr. vin gupta for all of this. heading overseas, a look at putin's rare visit to north korea and the warning signs for the u.s. and its allies. plus, a crucial group of voters that looks up for grabs this election. we'll explain, and later, new details emering about justin timberlake's dwi arrest in the hamptons. we're back in just 90 seconds. we're back in just 90 seconds.

up to 50% of people with graves' could develop a different condition called thyroid eye disease, which should be treated by a different doctor. see an expert. find a t-e-d eye specialist at isitted.com welcome back. today russia's vladimir putin and north korean leader kim jong-un signed off in a new strategic partnership during putin's rare visit to north korea. it includes a vow of mutual assistance, if either country faces aggression. and comes as both russia and north korea wrapped up tensions with the west. putin's visit is the first any major head of state has made since the pandemic and his first
7:13 am
since becoming russia's president 24 years ago. nbc's janis mackey frayer is following putin's visit for us. janice, what more are we learning about what appears to be a growing partnership between russia and north korea? >> reporter: russian president vladimir putin was given a very warm red carpet welcome by kim jong-un. there was even this moment of awkward debate over who would be first to get into kim's luxury car, which incidentally was a gift from putin. throughout the state visit, the two remain side by side, trying to project unity as they walk past soldiers, horses, and groups of children. afternoon two hours of talks they announced they had signed a strategic defense treaty providing mutual assistance in case of aggression against either of the two countries. putin says that this agreement lifts their ties to a new level, as they're both looking to shore up their partnership in the face
7:14 am
of sanctions from the west. kim expressed his unwavering support as he described it for russia in the war with ukraine and putin thanked him for that. the question, of course, in all of this is what happens next. north korea is accused of supplying ammunition and missiles to russia, which both countries have denied. the sense is more deliveries could follow because of this visit. in return, russia can offer north korea food, energy, and other aid as well as the sort of technologies that might be able to boost north korea's nuclear and missile programs as well as its ambitions to have a network of satellites. this deepening alliance, of course, was already raising alarm bells for the u.s. and the west. the state department claims that north korea has sent 11,000
7:15 am
containers of munitions to aid russia's war effort. so this visit and all of its fanfare, ana, will do little to ease those concerns. >> lots to track. thank you, janis mackey frayer for that update. and turning now to the israel-hamas war. a new pushback from the white house against claims the u.s. is withholding weapons from israel. in a video published on x, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu publicly criticized the biden administration claiming washington is not giving israel enough support. white house press secretary karine jean-pierre denied that saying the white house genuinely did not know what netanyahu was talking about. and here's secretary of state antony blinken. >> we, as you know, are continuing to review one shipment that president biden has talked about with regard to 2,000 pound bombs because of our concerns about their use in
7:16 am
densely populated area like rafah. that remains under review. everything else is moving as it normally would move. >> netanyahu will be in the u.s. next month where he's scheduled to address congress. some democrats have already vowed to boycott that speech. on the campaign trail, donald trump doing damage control after reports he disparaged milwaukee behind closed doors. we'll play for you what he's saying about the city now. and we're keeping a close eye on the rising temperatures across the country including right here in new york city. here's wnbc's romney smith on roosevelt island. >> reporter: new york city was hot yesterday. it will be hot again today, and we will continue to get hotter later this week. that's why everyone is talking about the weather including new york city officials. we know that when it comes to really hot temperatures, the most vulnerable populations include anyone over 60 years old, young children, and anyone with a pre-existing condition.
7:17 am
and the reason city officials are taking it so seriously here is because unfortunately last year in new york city 350 people died from heat-related illnesses. so they have a lot of advice and a lot of action they're taking. it's a multidepartment event. they're really opening up cooling centers today across all five boroughs in new york city just to make sure everyone has access to cool down for free if they need to. of course our other best advice, wear light-colored clothing and of course stay hydrated. that's the best advice we have right now. ve right now. copd hasn't been pretty. it's tough to breathe and tough to keep wondering if this is as good as it gets. but trelegy has shown me that there's still beauty and breath to be had. because with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy keeps my airways open and prevents future flare-ups. and with one dose a day, trelegy improves lung function so i can breathe more freely all day and night.
7:18 am
trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. ♪ what a wonderful world ♪ ask your doctor about once-daily trelegy for copd because breathing should be beautiful. you know what's brilliant? boring. think about it. boring is the unsung catalyst for bold. what straps bold to a rocket and hurtles it into space? boring does. boring makes vacations happen, early retirements possible, and startups start up. because it's smart, dependable, and steady. all words you want from your bank. for nearly 160 years, pnc bank has been brilliantly boring so you can be happily fulfilled... which is pretty un-boring if you think about it.

donald trump appears to have changed his mind about milwaukee, the city hosting the republican national convention next month. the former president proclaiming his love for the city in bat battleground, wisconsin, yesterday denying that he called it horrible in off camera comments to republicans last week on capitol hill. >> i love milwaukee. i was the one that picked milwaukee, i have to tell you. i was the one that picked it. these lying people, they say oh, he doesn't like milwaukee. i love milwaukee. you got to fix the crimes, we all know that. make sure the election's honest. but i'm the one that picked milwaukee and the democrats or the radical left lunatics as i call them, what they say is they're just so terrible. >> nbc's vaughn hillyard joins us now for more on this. so vaughn, trump had much more to say about milwaukee
7:23 am
yesterday. he was also pressed about whether he'll be staying there for the convention. >> there are some questions about whether he was going to be staying at a trump residence in chicago and making that commute back and forth during the convention to milwaukee. he is pushing back and saying that was never the case. law enforcement source tells nbc news that he and the secret service had been looking at accommodations in chicago so he could make that trip. for donald trump, this is an issue you could say for his campaign when behind closed doors he reportedly called milwaukee terrible. of course you hear him pushing back. at the same time, there's a lot of folks outside of the major cities who in a lot of ways agree with the way that he describes places like milwaukee or new york city or, you know, chicago. back in 2020 before that election, he compared chicago to afghanistan. so donald trump has a penchant for, you know, blasting, you know, these major american cities here, and yet, for him,
7:24 am
milwaukee is a place that is going to be crucial in the general election in november. he won wisconsin by just 20 -- or i should say lost wisconsin by just 20,000 votes back in 2020. >> wisconsin a key state for both campaigns. we know the biden campaign is also doing outreach in wisconsin this weekend or coming up in the next 24 hours or so. talk to us, vaughn, about did the -- double haters. we're learning more about this closely watched voting block who are unhappy with both the major party candidates, president biden and donald trump. the voters could be crucial. major opportunity for the contenders and the double haters of 2024 look different from the two previous elections. with us to discuss more on this, of course vaughn but also two former members of congress, democrat donna edwards of maryland and republican carlos curbelo of florida. what is different about this
7:25 am
group as a whole this time versus past elections? and what's the potential impact? >> when you look at the numbers this time around, there is reticence towards donald trump and joe biden. and back in 2020, right, there was excitement, more enthusiasm, and when you just look at these numbers here, it makes it clear what sort of that reticence can look like here and the number of folks that say they don't want either of these individuals, and if you go back to 2020, right? democrats were eager, enthusiastic to get donald trump out of the white house, and you know, joe biden was somebody who said, look, vote for me once here, then we can go and get rid of the republican who is currently occupying up on pennsylvania avenue, and this time it's a little bit more like 2016, though, because you have third-party candidates. you have the likes of robert f. kennedy jr., cornell west, jill stein. so there are other options unlike in 2020, for those double haters to go to, and that is whey you see not only trump's campaign, but biden's campaign also trying to urge their
7:26 am
supporters in saying, if we just take rfk, for example, you know, you see the trump campaign saying he's a radical leftist, you know, right? if you consider yourself conservative, don't go to him, and then on the other side you hear the biden campaign saying he's essentially the equivalent of donald trump, right? he's anti-vaxx. he's radical. he's extreme. he's somebody that buddies up with the likes of elon musk and other right wing propagandists. it is an effort by both sides to convince their base of, you know, these double haters to not go to one of the third options but instead stick with them even if you're not all that into us. >> can we put that graphic back up? what is notable is that in 2016 you can see a lot more of these double haters are traditionally republican voters, 2020 it flipped to the majority being traditionally democratic voters who said that they didn't like either candidate. but this year, 2024, it's almost a three-way split there you can see with democrats, republicans
7:27 am
and democrats being among these double haters. so congresswoman edwards, what kind of power could this group have in november, these double haters? >> well, i think substantial and i mean one of the things that stood out to me in this analysis is that 67% of these double haters really don't like the donald trump felony convictions, and so that actually provides a real opportunity, i think, for the biden campaign. but the truth is that you can already see these -- both candidates jockeys for this group. they are incredibly persuadable, which is unusual in a year where biden's team in particular has to work on persuading what used to be kind of a democratic base. >> congressman curbelo, do you agree that these double haters are persuadable? >> well, i think that the double haters will take their cues from the candidates as we get closer
7:28 am
and closer to the election, and if one of the two candidates has another major scandal, a major gaffe, an embarrassing moment, that could tilt these. ana, i think the other big point here that has to be underscored is that rfk, robert kennedy could be the difference maker in this race. this is not going to be a third-party candidate like some of the ones we've seen in recent years that maybe get half of a percentage of the national vote, half a percentage point of the national vote. rfk could end up getting three, four, five, six, who knows, up to 10% of the national vote, and that could be decisive. >> we know president biden and donald trump will have a chance to really speak to these voters, all voters at this debate coming up next week, and senator j.d. vance, potential trump vp pick was on fox news last night and was asked about trump's debate
7:29 am
prep. watch this. >> so your debate prep is really, i think, at least in my limited experience with them, he's thinking about how to translate these really, really important topics into a message that works, and obviously he's as good at it as anybody. that's why he's leading all the polls. >> so vance, vaughn seemed to indicate that trump was focused more on policy going into this debate, and that may be the expectation for the viewers or audience here. is there an indication that he's focusing on policy over theatrics? >> look, i think donald trump is his most unvarnished self than ever. this is somebody who has been been eager to go to toe to toe with joe biden. i'm not sure we'll see less theatrics. j.d. vance is one of the individuals who had a meeting with donald trump recently. for them they talked about economic policy we're told by a trump campaign source. donald trump has met with other individuals like kellyanne
7:30 am
conway to have other conversations about other policy issues here. this is different than normal debate prep, though. four years ago, he was sparring with chris christie who stood in as joe biden ahead of the first 2020 presidential debate, so this time we're told that it's a little bit different, and that this is a moment that donald trump has been preparing for by going on the campaign stage, doing right wing media interviews, and so this is a little bit different, i think, than a normal presidential debate in terms of prep. >> different in terms of prep, different in terms of format also. congressman curbelo, what risks do you see biden and trump maybe facing going into the debate? >> well, ana, i'll tell you this, if donald trump is going to focus on policy, that's bad news for him. the policy environment is not one in which donald trump thrives. where he thrives is saying popular things, personally attacking his opponent. that's really when he does score some points. so i don't expect much policy. and again, i think at these debates, the audience is going
7:31 am
to be very narrow. we know most of the country has already decided, so these candidates will be focusing on swing voters in swing states, and a lot of these are people who have voted republican and democrat, gone back and forth in recent years. so again, any overly aggressive conduct at the debate, any major gaffe by president biden, moment of weakness. i mean, these are the kinds of moments that could really shift a small number of voters and determine the outcome of this race. >> congresswoman edwards, we've seen some efforts lately from the biden campaign to draw more specific contrasts with trump, particularly on things like the trump tax cuts. what's the best way to do that at debate? >> well, i think it's really important for the president to focus on the things that are incredibly popular with the american people. abortion rights and access to contraceptives. this is an area where biden has
7:32 am
decided strength among the electorate, and i think it's important to highlight those differences. also, i think you've got to throw -- president biden has to throw donald trump's words right back at him, and i think it's been important for the president to draw a contrast on whether you want a convicted felon or you want somebody who's going to bring order and chaos and continue to progress for the american people, focus on the american people. i think there's a real opportunity for president biden to show that he is a sort of steady as you go, non-chaos candidate. i think there's also every tun for donald trump to kind of go off the rails, depending on what the conditioning polls. so even though a lot of people may not be watching this, a lot of people will be watching the analysis of it after the fact. both candidates have to tread pretty carefully. >> i wonder if you're right, if a lot of people will or won't be watching it. it's been four years plus since these two men debated, and of
7:33 am
course donald trump withdrew from the primary debate. a lot on the line and a lot of curiosity, i think. vaughn hillyard, former congresswoman, donna edwards and former congresswoman carlos curbelo, thank you, appreciate it. an effort from senate democrats to pass legislation banning bump stocks thwarted by a single republican. new mexico democrat martin heinrich sought unanimous consent yesterday to pass the act. but his republican colleague nebraska's pete rickets objected, effectively blocking the bill. rickets dismissed the attempt as simply a show vote and urged democrats to focus on passing mental health legislation prompting this exchange senate floor. >> in the constitution affords americans the right to own a firearm. this bill infringes upon that right. for safety we ought to better enforce existing gun laws and address mental health issues. this bill doesn't do that.
7:34 am
>> i just want to remind our colleagues that we actually did pass legislation two years ago to investigation in mental health. >> the clash over gun violence and gun rights comes days after the supreme court rejected the bump stock ban that was put in place during the trump administration following the mass shooting at a las vegas music festival. just ahead, boeing's ceo grilled by angry lawmakers over accusations that the company put its financial health above the safety of its planes. and later, pop star justin timberlake ordered to appear virtually in court at the end of july, over his dwi charge. what he told the arresting officers. you're watching "ana cabrera reports." don't go anywhere. reports. don't go anywhere. with liberty mutual!

it was a rough day on capitol hill for boeing's ceo david calhoun on tuesday. both democratic and republican lawmakers took turns grilling the head of the plane manufacturer over issues with the 737 max jets and revelations of quality control breakdowns at the company. nbc news senior correspondent tom costello joins us with more on this. hi, tom, bring us the big takeaways from that hearing, and what's next for the investigations that are ongoing into boeing? >> well, first, he has very few friends on capitol hill these days, and david calhoun came face to face with the families of the people who died in two max crashes five years ago. they're still demanding that

7:41 am
