florida at bisque cane national park. sipping tea it looks like. a few other stops as well. we'll check in with them later. >> they are laughing. first to our top story, choice words from donald trump and his top supporters for prominent republican leaders who have failed to back trump as the gop's presumptive nominee. we begin with peter alexander. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. after spending much of the last year attacking the republican party system and its leaders, donald trump is showing little interest in reconciling but he won millions of votes so should he have to? right now the grand old party in a modern-day civil war. under donald trump the republican's new motto may be divided we stand. >> i'm different than everybody else. i don't think so. >> reporter: ahead of their meeting this week trump now refusing to rule out removing paul ryan as chairman of the party convention.

after the house speaker's reluctance to support him of it >> i was blind sided a little bit. he spoke to me three weeks ago, a nice call. >> reporter: ryan's aides say the two haven't spoken since march. >> his political career is over but for a miracle because he has so desire respected the will of the people. >> trump not making peace slamming rivals for breaking their pledge, calling jeb bush not honorable and mitt romney ungrateful after trump's endorsement in 2012. trump showing flexibility on the issues now open to a minimum wage increase after opposing it during the primaries. shifting position on taxes too, his plan calls for cuts for everybody. which he contradicted last month. >> you believe in raising taxes on the wealthy? >> i do. pluding christ. >> this attempted claire ification.

>> by the time it's negotiated they go up. >> days after insisting he'd like a high level oriented campaign getting personal. >> there is nobody that was worse, nobody, than bill clinton with women. some of those women were destroyed not by him but by the way that hillary clinton treated them after everything went down. >> reporter: the clinton campaign quickly responded accusing trump of trying to change the subject after a series of quote outrageous positions and divisive comments. >> i'm not going to run an ugly race. i'm going to run a based on issues. >> the comment having a field day. >> did dony take a gander at the holy scripture? >> i love all of the books in the bible. i do. they are all terrific. corinthians part two. book of revelations, two genesis, two furious.

>> trump back out unfazed on the offensive tweeting i will win the election against crooked hillary despite the people in republican party that are currently and selfishly opposed to me. meanwhile, clinton says she is hearing from a lot of republicans who want to join her campaign. today she is targeting some of the voters, in virginia including independents and republicans. savannah and willie. >> pete e thank you. let's bring in mark halperin, good morning. let's pick it up there. donald trump and paul ryan, is there an exit strategy for this rift and who does it hurt more? >> i think no one, if you are a republican likes to see them fighting, that's sarah palin a trump supporter say paul ryan's career is going to end, this is not a way to become a unifier. trump's first responsibility is to unify the party so i think this meeting on thursday, probably will not patch things up completely.

donald trump if he's going to be president first has have to the republicans and expand. not having a good week in that respect. >> is you look at the possibility of the clean land convention without presidents bush 41, 43, or mitt romney, the last nominee, and with paul ryan possibly overseeing convention where he is opposed to the nominee. what does clean land look like? >> donald trump is trying to do it his way, right. trying to say this is not the old republican party. that's got him this far but there's no doubt that his victory and understanding of the republican electorate to become the nominee, incredible achievement, doesn't mean he can win the general election. you have the wall street editorial page, a huge voice saying trump could lose the election in the next month well before the cleveland convention. he's not going to unite the party completely. the bushes will never be for him, some others. but he does need to start uniting the party. he said the spector of paul ryan not just as speaker but presiding over the convention he nooet needs his support.

>> he changed and moved to the left on a couple of positions he took during the primary which will not endear him to the conservatives that he is trying to win over saying for example, now he's open to raising the minimum wage. and maybe this should be tax cuts for the wealthy. >> >> excuse me, tax hikes. >> we expected he would moderate positions but you have to do it elegance, with sense of why you're making the change. the big question right now will donald trump be held to a different start as the nominee than he was when he ran against the other republicans. if he is held to a tougher standard on policy, on consistency, on tone and attitude, going to be very hard for him to win. >> mark halperin, thank you. also this morning a powerful storm system race ag ross the country spawning tornados in at least three states. and the threat of more severe weather is not over. we'll get dylan's forecast. first, nbc's dave gutierrez is in oklahoma city. good morning.

>> dylan is here for al. when are we going to expect this to let up? >> unfortunately it's going to take a few days before we see these storms move away and fizzle out. we've got a round of stronger storms this morning though nothing severe. you can see the heavy rain, the lightning, also we have reports of smaller hail in those storms. as this moves east and we've got this set up where we've got this dip in the jet stream,into the eastern plains, it sets up the type of atmosphere that could spawn some tornados. so we're going to see the threat again later on this afternoon. we also have the moisture streaming in from the gulf of mexico, so you have that warm, moist air and the dry air and that's going to trigger more storms from kansas city to houston. this area in orange that includes texarkana and shreveport, little rock, arkansas and southeast oklahoma where we could end up with stronger storms today. biggest threat will be large hail, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornados. even though this is the area we could see our best chance of tornados it's the yellow area

again includes oklahoma city where we still could see stronger storms and the dangerous lightning. it's going to be active and tomorrow. >> that's a huge band of the country. >> right in that tornado alley. >> thank you very much. firefighters hoping to gain the upper happened this week on the massive wild fire burning in alberta. the pictures are staggering burning almost 400,000 acres, ravaging the city of fort mcmurray. officials say with cooler temperatures expected the next few days, firefighters should be able to put out some of the hot spots. one member of parliament says he toured fort mcmurray and 80% of the homes are standing. >> to north korea, a journalest expelled over his reporting there. bill neely is there this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. from a country that cracks down hard on any criticism of its leader, even from a foreigner,

like their reporting. >> reporter: nbc news and dozens of journalists were invited here to cover the congress of the ruling party, but we haven't been allowed in. kim jong-un boasted of the nuclear power and told american troops to get out of the korean peninsula. officials are clearly determined to ensure his tough guy image isn't questioned by anyone, least of all a foreigner. i spoke to the bbc correspondent. he was happy to get out. but this shows just how sensitive the north koreans are, remember, this is one of the most repressive places on earth, led by an absolute dictator. don't worry, i have no fear in saying that. back to you. >> bill neely in pyongyang, thank you. north carolina facing a deadline over the transgender bathroom law. the federal government last week warned north carolina that the
