e bay." we're going to be back at 7:25 with a live local break. >> banana bread, time to try that out. we'll see you tm. good morning. good morning. good morning. looking for revenge? disturbing reports that gang leaders have summoned armed reinforcements to waco, texas to confront police and carry on their showdown with rival biker gangs on the heels of that huge brawl to led to nine deaths and 170 arrests. are things about to get even worse? why so long? the state department now says it will take until early next year to release those e-mails. then secretary of state clinton kept on a private server. will it affect her campaign? chilling twist. sources telling nbc news the washington, d.c. family murdered inside their home was held captive overnight before they were killed. and this morning police believe there was more than one person

involved. the motive still a mystery. and on the road again. >> it's day three of my red nose bike challenge ride from boston to new york. i think the tough tessest day is behind me. i'm on the north fork of long island but is today iffy weather, "today," tuesday, may 19, 2015. >> announcer: live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everyone. welcome to today on a tuesday morning. we've got willie just sitting here while matt pedals and pedals trying to get to studio 1a. >> pedaling through the raindrops. >> this is day through. how is the red "behind"? >> hello? >> hey, now. >> willie, don't be afraid to jump out of the chair and jump on a bike. okay?

>> i'm joining you, matt, later. >> good. good. looking forward to that. it is day three. yesterday, i'll be honest with you, was very, very difficult. it is a lot flatter where i am today. but as you can see, the rain is falling. it is supposed to rain for the next several hours so we're going to get wet and sore today but it is all for a great cause. >> and it is a beautiful ride along the north fork. natalie has pointed out, there are plenty of vineyards along the way if you need to stop. >> exactly. i'll be making some lunch stops. maybe two or three of them. >> see you in just a little bit. let's get to today's top story. things could go from bad to worse in waco, texas. this morning there is new fallout from that vicious shoot-out between rival biker gangs and growing fears of revenge attacks including on police. nbc's miguel almaguer has the latest. >> reporter: good morning. this texas restaurant, the twin peaks, is still considered a crime scene today. investigators are cataloging

more than 100 weapons, everything from guns to clubs to knives were recovered here. now investigators say their officers may be targets from gang members. this morning, texas police are on alert following multiple reports not yet confirmed by nbc news that biker gangs have been ordered to shoot and kill uniformed officers. >> we won't talk about what we're doing. we'll just say that we are prepared and able to handle any threat that comes towards us. >> reporter: now comes the warning that members of the bandidos and cossacks motorcycle gang have been instructed to recall a themselves and head to texas. it is all believed to be retaliation following a gruesome lunch time brawl that left nine dead, 18 wounded, and 170 suspects jailed. the suspects all said to be members of rival motorcycle gangs have been charged with engaging in organized crime. j.dobbins, a retired special agent who went deep undercover to infiltrate the hell's angels

says the bloodbath like sunday's is destined to happen when five motorcycle gangs cross paths. >> it's all about colors and how they look and where you're at and do you have permission to be there. it's a nasty, dirty vomit-covered existence. >> reporter: with each of the suspects held on $1 million bond, sunday's showdown was said to involve a rumble with the cossacks who often battle with the bandidos over turf in texas. the hell's angels are notorious, the pagans thrive in the east, gangs can number in the thousands. >> it is about money. it is about control. you probably haven't seen the end of it. >> reporter: in fact, police say their officers are now going to be targets from the gang members so they're on heightened alert. as for the business owner here, he says despite what police say, he has been working with authorities on security here at this facility and said he had

previous luncheons here and never had any issues. >> meantime, you are talking about 170 arrests, how are police handling that? >> reporter: yeah, savannah. police say they had so many suspects, they were actually taken to the convention center to start being processed. at the county jail though, they say they have plenty of room for anyone who wants to come into this city and start trouble. savannah, back to you. >> thank you. the state department now says it needs until early next year before it will be ready to release thousands of e-mails that former secretary of state hillary clinton stored on a private server. what's taking so long? nbc news white house correspondent kristin welker is in this iowa where clinton is wrapping up a two-day campaign tour. kristin, good morning. >> reporter: willie, good morning to you. hillary clinton will meet with business leaders here later on today but you're right, it's coming as we are learning that it could take the state department until january of 2016 to review and release more than 50,000 pages of her e-mails

saying that it is an incredibly labor intensive process. but all of this is re-igniting the controversy over her use of a private e-mail account while serving as secretary of state. hillary clinton is trying to get up close and personal with iowa's voters. >> i don't want this election to be about me. i want it to be about us. >> reporter: but this morning, new criticism over lingering issues, including her use of a personal e-mail account while serving as secretary of state. chris christie slammed her late monday. >> i think the server at home business is just absolutely incredible that you would be secretary of state and be working with a private e-mail, then be deleting and destroying that stuff is just incredible to me. >> reporter: this comes after clinton disclosed she and bill raked in $30 million over the past 16 months, mostly through paid speeches. gop rivals now pouncing on the huge payday. >> are you satisfied secretary

clinton has been transparent enough? >> she hasn't been particularly transparent on a lot of things, everything from her e-mail accounts to her work as secretary of state. >>orter: clinton campaign officials have denied any ethical wrongdoing and argue her policies favor the working class, a point she's trying to sell here. >> there's something wrong when the average american ceo makes 300 times more than the typical american worker. >> reporter: but clinton is keeping her distance from the press, a i voidvoiding questions for the past three weeks. >> the question is about why clinton doesn't take questions. >> reporter: now so far, clinton campaign officials haven't reacted to the timing of the release of those e-mails, but if they aren't released until next january, that will be just days before the all-important iowa caucuses. as for this week, hillary clinton will wrap up here in iowa, then she heads to new hampshire in just a few days. willie, savannah, back to you. >> kristin welker, thank you.

new information this morning on this deadly amtrak derailment in philadelphia. the fbi is ruling out a theory that it was a bullet that struck the left side of the train's windshield but the ntsb is still considering whether another projectile such as a rock may have fractured it, possibly disorienting the engineer who was new to that route. >> why the train accelerated in the final minute before derailing remains the primary focus of the investigation. was it human error or mechanical failure? meantime, amtrak implemented new government mandated safety upgrades ahead of monday's return to full service in the northeast corridor. among them, an automatic braking system and a new speed limit along the curve where last week's crash took place. meantime, turning to natalie with the top stories of the morning, including the big story overseas in iraq. >> isis militants have been searching door to door for policemen and pro-government fighters after capturing the iraqi raek citycity of ramadi. 500 civilians and soldiers have died in the killing rampage

since friday. shiite militia men are preparing for an assault to try to re-take the city but the obama administration is concerned that shiite fighters in a sunni-dominated region could spark sectarian bloodshed. federal authorities say three baggage handlers in oakland, california used their airport security badges to help them smuggle suitcases packed full of marijuana past screening areas. officials say the baggage handlers would then hand off the luggage to passengers waiting to board planes who would then transport the drugs as carry-on items throughout the country. in all, 14 people have been arrested and charged in the case. an army captain is being called a hero this morning after dramatic new video shows a car crash in north carolina that set off a ball of flames and a desperate scramble to rescue those trapped inside. cell phone video captures the aftermath of a fiery crash.

smoke billowing after a silver suv slammed into a red sedan leaving three people trapped inside. >> they were trapped in there. windows were up, the doors were locked. >> reporter: what followed was even more shocking. after break being the windshield with a fire extinguisher, a man is seen carrying the driver of the red sedan to safety. this man lives nearby and captured the chaotic scene. >> it's the army guy. steve. quite a hero. >> reporter: the hero, off-duty army captain on his way to the mall with his girlfriend when he saw the crash. >> i picked him up and took him to safety. the officer was still there trying to free the other woman. >> reporter: even wearing a "captain america" shirt at the time of the rescue, he says he doesn't want to be known as a hero. >> we are all called to do whatever we have to do. today i was called to be there at that spot at that time. >> still, we'll call him our captain america today. miraculously, all three involved

in the crash suffered non-life threatening injuries. the driver of the suv's charged with traveling left of center. surveillance video captured the frightening moments when a wind gust toppled a brick wall in china on sunday. watch the right of your screen right now. the wall comes down without any warning there as you saw. two people were killed and seven others injured. six of them are now in good condition. and proof this morning that you should never give up in life, even when the wheels are coming off literally. take a look. this is a video from a rally car race in poland. at one point in the middle of the race the car's steering wheel suddenly popped off right into the driver's hand. that's not going to do him any good! it took him a few seconds to figure out what to do next. the steering wheel wouldn't go back on but he kept cool under pressure. he manages to finish the race using only the metal hub of the wheel. genius. unknown what place they came in but i think you could certainly

put them up there in first for moxi and innovative thinking. >> how about during the race when his co-pilot said, hey, what are these three screws for? we've got a lot of rain and wild weather in texas right now. look at what's going on. this is yesterday. they got four to six inches of hail all falling there causing big problems on the roads. dented cars causing trouble. right now we've got major -- look at the size of that hail. major storms going on. down in san angelo, texas, we've got a flash flood warning in effect. heavy thunderstorms are rumbling toward dallas. heavy rain through denver. but then in the west, they've got snow. we'll talk about that in the next half-hour. flash flood watches and flood watches are in effect. in fact, so much rain for may,

oklahoma city so far for may, almost 13 inches of rain. normally they get 2 1/2 inches lubbock, texas, they've had more than seven inches of rain. even dallas which has been in severe drought. for may, 6 1/3 inches. normally 2.8. some areas may pick up another five to eight inches in the next 24 hours. we'll get to you're local forecast in the next 30 seconds. i do notice that sometimes i eat better than her. i get my healthy bowl of beneful, and she eats a cheese stick and a cracker. that's what she ate last night. cheese stick and a cracker. can you believe what some people put in their bodies? (vo) beneful original is a healthy blend... ...your dog will love. with whole grains real beef and accents of vegetables. beneful. healthy with a side of happy.

it was trending as soon as he sent out this tweet. hello twitter. it's barack. really. six years in and they're finally giving me my own account. you can imagine instant success and instant followers there. let me swipe this here. there you go. bill clinton sent out a tweet to the president. welcome to twitter. one question, does that user name stay with the office? #askingforafriend. president obama replied saying good question. the handle comes with the house. know anyone interested in @flotus? it kept going. and nearly every chicago sports team which i think will make it controversial. nearly? not all chicago sports teams? what's up with that? where's jeff rossen? >> tamron, thank you. is it just me or do we have two presidents flirting on twitter? >> kind of cute. coming up, the intense hunt

veteran expert is panicked. we're taking a ride. >> wow. this is so cool. >> reporter: our rossen reports producers josh and lindsey strapping in and soaring up. >> that is crazy. >> reporter: way up. look parasailing is fun. after all look at these views. but in an instant -- >> let go! >> reporter: -- it can get out of control. a gust of wind slams this 6-year-old boy into a hotel balcony. incredibly he survived. a cell phone camera rolling again when the rope on this parasail snaps in florida. two teenage girls hurling into the side of a building crash landing onto cars below. they were both critically injured. so our team is hitting the beach posing as tourists. in florida where there are

regulations, great news. we take several rides and all safety procedures are followed. >> wow. >> reporter: but in cancun where americans flock to parasail we spot trouble immediately. there are safety regulations here too, but on this boat no safety briefing whatsoever. >> we are parasailing and he didn't ask a thing. we are in the air right now. >> barely even spoke to us. >> i don't know if this is right. i don't know how high we're going. and i sure don't know what to do if there's an emergency. >> reporter: watching it all from the beach below, parasailing safety expert. >> if you're on the boat and they do not give you a safety briefing leave that boat right away. >> reporter: then mark notices another red flag. they're flying way too high. he says you should never get above 400 feet. too much wind and no one can hear you. >> let's see what they would do if we started screaming. >> hey!

savannah. all along the way, people are saying ride matt ride. but the reason we are doing this is because there are so many children not only in this country but around the world living in poverty through not fault of their own. yesterday we met up with a young ladies named shanise patterson. she reminded us why we are riding. >> reporter: sunrise brings a bright new day for shanise patterson. but it didn't always seem that way. >> i got frustrated really angry. i would throw a fit get in t los of trouble. >> reporter: trouble found shanise almost from the day she was born. her parents were teenagers. questions of neglect brought the threat of being placed into foster care. that's when her grandmother stepped in. >> i love her. i had her since she was a baby. >> reporter: you won't hear beverly patterson sugar coat the situation. she doesn't have time. at 57 beverly is taking care of shanise and two other grandchildren.

shanise's cousins. all while working and going to school to get her associate's degree. >> she makes sure everything is always running smoothly. >> reporter: but feelings of parental abandonment fueled frustration inside shanise as she entered kindergarten. >> she struggled at the beginning. i think it comes from her parents not being there. >> i would yell and scream and tell people to leave me alone. i have anger issues. >> reporter: she's from new haven. the bloom fell off years ago. 45% of families in new haven country struggle to support themselves. and it has the highest violent crime rate in the state. but amidst the blight the boys and girls club stands like bedrock for the families and children. >> they don't have a lot of things to do in the neighborhood and the boys and girls club can't go wrong. >> reporter: the club has been

here since '71. she remembers when shanise came to the club at the age of 5. >> she kept to herself. she isolated. when she did open up it was in an angry outburst. >> reporter: the club got her into counseling. >> sometimes i put on a brave face. i can't stand when people see me cry. but then again, everybody cries. i'm only human. >> reporter: the club also gave her an outlet. she began to find herself in a dance program. each step learned, a step toward healing. a step forward. >> when i'm dancing, i forgot about everything else. it kind of makes me feel really good about myself. >> reporter: biking across connecticut, we found this small state has a lot of character. i rode all that way to see you. small with lots of character. just like shanise. she and her grandmother came out to cheer us on. somewhere along the ride i heard a rumor about you. that you like to dance a little bit. >> yes.

>> reporter: is that true? when did you start loving to dance? >> when i went to the boys and girls club i was about 5. >> reporter: yeah? what's your favorite kind of dance to do? >> hip hop. >> reporter: you think you're pretty good? >> yes. >> reporter: yes? we had one more surprise for shanise. we introduced an introduction to ballerina misty copeland. a star at the american ballet theater who once was a young girl who liked to dance at the boys and girls club. just like shanise. >> have you ever been to lincoln center before? >> no. >> what do you think? >> it's big. >> yeah. >> reporter: a trip to the ballet for a girl finding her footing in life. and it's for young ladies like shanise and kids like her not only in this country but around the world that we're riding on this trip from boston to new york. we have about 100 miles to go. some of it unfortunately in the rain. but we'll keep doing it.

hopefully we'll arrive in the plaza on thursday morning. we hope all the people watching this will go to our website and learn more about red nose day and give generously. >> you've got to tough ride again, if you would like to contribute to the red nose campaign, you can go to our website, today.com. you can also text today 80077 to make a $10. you can do that right now. >> catch the star-studded red nose day special thursday night at 8:00 7:00 central right here on nbc. coming up next what is his secret -- what hollywood power player says he owes most of his success to. but firs

we're back at 8:42. what makes one of the most powerful people in hollywood tick? >> in his new book "a curious

mind" oscar winning producer brian grazer opens up about the conversations and questions that helped him create some of our favorite movies and tv shows over the years. here's nbc's joe fryer. >> reporter: it might be hard to imagine the man behind the smash tv show "empire" is the same guy who produced the drama "a beautiful mind" and the comedy series "arrested development." >> we're in trouble here michael. and i can't perform my magic. >> reporter: that man is brian grazer. a hollywood power player who thrives on variety. >> i want to have a different perspective on life. not just my own isolated perspective. the only way to have a different perspective is to enter the psyche of someone else. >> reporter: since the late '70s grazer has sought out some of the most powerful people. names as big as michael jackson, princess diana, and muhammad ali. meeting them in person peppering them with questions during what he called curiosity

conversation. why is curiosity so important to you? >> it's expanded my world view my life, the locations i've been in my life. >> reporter: now grazer has written is book "a curious mind: the secret to a bigger life." he says some conversations have even influenced his work. like the movie "8 mile" which was made after he met eminem. more recently he chatted with rapper kendrick lamar when his kids said this. >> my god. kendrick lamar. this guy is the bomb. meet him. then i did. and he surprised me in every possible way. >> reporter: how did he surprise you? >> first of all, his music is street ji and aggressive and smart. he's like a rapper poet. in person, he's pretty quiet and gentle. >> reporter: here's something you may find curious about grazer. he likes to leave behind heart-shaped photo frames with his picture. >> i leave them all over people's homes. and sometimes they're horribleyey

offended by it and other times they like it. >> reporter: he's left them for george clooney and jimmy fallon who returned the favor. >> does that look familiar? >> that's the your office and your desk. >> reporter: his career is asking lots of questions. joe fryer, nbc news. >> he is such a smart guy. >> you look at all the success he's had. it's cool. up next, would you do this? therapy by text? does it really work? we'll check into that. but first this is "today" on nbc.

>> announcer: "today's" health is brought to you by pronamel toothpaste. protect your enamel against the

theesquethe effects of everyday acid. >> we are back at 8:47. may is mental health awareness month. according to the statistics one in five americans suffers from mental illness. that's about 43 million people. yet only 41% are getting treatment. today when you can get about everything on your smartphone could therapy by text be one of the answers? jen, it's always good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> let's start with what this is. how does it work? >> you can sign up for a service. you are connected with a licensed mental health professional. instead of going to their office you have therapy on the go. any time you're working through something, you can text and expect an answer back within a reasonable time. >> i mentioned in the leadin many don't get help they need. is that stigma access a combination combination? >> i think it's a combination. we do not look at mental health issues despite the numbers.

we aren't looking at it in the same way we're looking at other things. that stigma still follows us. the more we can talk about it and the more access we can provide, the better mental health as we get older. >> to me it feels like you need to sit face-to-face to understand a problem. >> i think there's a benefit in some way. people don't have access. if i'm in the middle of the town write where i don't have that response. i can get it this way. we're missing a whole level of communication where i see your face and get tone of voice. i can't get that on text. so there's a lot of interpretation that might be wrong. >> okay. all right. so let's move here now. some things that could be lost in translation. i know when i text somebody not even with a problem, they don't get the joke the tone i'm using. does that concern you? >> definitely. we text a lot. but it takes a lot for me to understand where they're coming from. if they make a comment like i want to die today. are they serious? are they not?

i have an established relationship with them. i see their face i can interpret that. if it was someone i didn't know now what do i do? yan lot of these text therapy programs do provide some support and get them the access to support they need in the state that they're in but it's not as immediate. that makes me a little concerned. >> so much of what you do is built on trust with a patient. how do you build trust over text? >> it's hard. it's also a generational thing. we are not people who grew up only with text messages. the teenagers and younger people i work with will say of course when they're talking i say are we talking on the phone or text? it's often through text. so i think it gets there much more quickly. but we still aren't getting facial expression spops i'm not able to read that stuff. >> one of the benefits people have pointed to is it costs much less than visiting a doctor. >> it does. it's not covered by insurance. but it is a more affordable and acceptable means of treatment. >> okay. let's take one more look here. i want to give an example. we've removed names and context

because we want to protect privacy here. but he's a sample exchain. patient writing what do you mean by getting more support? do you mean having family help out more with children? no i meant having a supportive conversation at night or you feel admired or appreciated for the husband and father you are. >> this to me makes sense. this is probably something that someone could ask me in my office and an answer i would give. i don't know that this is so challenging in this moment. because i'm asking a pretty direct question and getting a pretty direct answer. but what if i said what do you mean about getting support, and the second was not in there? then as the therapist i have to give more information. i might say to the person in my office what do you think might be helpful to you and have them generate that. >> very interesting. thanks so much for your insight on this. for an in-depth look at what happened when we tried therapy by text head to today.com. up next more from our road warrior matt as he powers
