hood soldiers swept away in flooding in texas. three others were injured when the soldiers got caught during a training exercise. the search is on for four more soldiers missing. gabe gutierrez is in texas with the latest. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning. earlier this year this unit returned from a nine-month deployment. now military officials call this tragedy a heartbreaking accident. this morning a desperate search at ft. hood, five soldiers killed, four missing after a flash flood overturned a tactical vehicle like this one during a training exercise. >> they launched from owl creek and they were possibly floating toward white plains last seen in a military vehicle. >> reporter: three others were rescued, in stable condition, potentially released later today. this military community is grieving. the deputy commanding general speaking out.

>> this tragedy extends well beyond ft. hood and the outpouring of support from around the country is sincerely appreciated. >> reporter: ft. hood is vast t largest post in the country spanning more than 200,000 acres, the vehicle overturned in a wooded area in the northeast part of the installation. >> this is a remote area, it's difficult to see. as you know the weather conditions are not -- they are helping us out now but the water is flowing. >> reporter: most of texas is under a flash flood watch, the historic high waters swallowing anything in its path. >> get out! >> do not underestimate the power of water. >> reporter: in fort ben county neighborhoods ravaged. as we got on this helicopter we saw more storms in the distance. there is no place for the water

to go. it could be weeks before waters recede. neither people nor animals are spared. the devastation rippling across the lone star state. these are live pictures from a drone overhead richmond, texas, that area devastated there, more than 550 water rescues in the county alone over the past few days. here in ft. hood, the soldiers have yet to be identified. when asked why these soldiers may have been conducting this training in dangerous weather, the spokesman here says that they train in these conditions every day. >> that's gabe gutierrez. thank you. to al, waiting for you to say the worst is over, this is going to get better. >> i think 24 more hours, then things will start to recede. it's going to take days. and again, we saw that video in gabe's piece, some folks trying to drive through.

well, just a few facts. six inches of moving water 6 miles per hour will knock somebody over. then you're at the mercy of all of that wet weather. also, in your car, two feet of rushing water will float most vehicles including vans and pickup trucksment water four miles per hour can damage or destroy a home. the power of water is incredible. and do not underestimate it. you can see the rain coverage a little bit less today. we do have 24 million people under some sort of flood watch or flash flood warning. but it has spread into central and southern louisiana and still goes up into central oklahoma. rainfall amounts still from 1 to 2 inches of rain but locally we could see 4 to 7 inches in southeast texas, on into central louisiana, still guys, rainfall rates 1 to 2 inches per hour through today, starts to taper off tomorrow.

one supporter pelted with eggs. while this group set a what the slogan make america great again on fire. police in riot gear eventually moving in to keep the peace. inside the venue, trump on the defensive, unleashing sharp attacks against hillary clinton. >> i watched hillary today, it was pathetic. it was pathetic. >> reporter: trying to turn the tables on clinton's blistering krit such of his foreign policy, by putting the focus back on familiar ground, her e-mails. >> she has to go to jail. that was a phony hit job. she's guilty as hell. >> after she delivered her most squathing rebuke of him yet. >> donald trump's ideas aren't just different, they are dangerously incoherent. >> speaking in san diego thursday clinton tried to capitalize on polls including one showing 12% of registered voters think trump has the right temperament to be president.

clinton arguing he is quote temper mentally unfit. >> this is not someone who should ever have the nuclear code because it's not hard to imagine donald trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin. >> trump offering up his rebuttal saying clinton was for the iraq war and he against it. >> now she's saying donald trump, do you trust him with the nooks. let me tell you, my temperament is so much tougher and so much better than her temperament. by the way we need a tough temperament. >> mocked him picking apart point by point including his plan to fight isis. >> what is trum ap es, he is keeping it a secret. >> and trump's proposed muslim ban. >> by the way, mr. trump, every time you insult american muslims or mexican immigrants remember,

that plenty of muslims and immigrants serve and fight in our armed forces. >> clinton has four stops in the los angeles area today, as she tries to secure her own party's nomination i'm told she will again go after trump's foreign policy and the controversy around trump university. >> kristen welker, thank you. >> let's stick with donald trump and questions about whether paul ryan's endorsement will be enough to unite the republican party at last. peter alexander has more on that, he is in washington. hey, peter, good were mooing. >> good morning. paul ryan's endorsement ends unprecedented standoff between the republican house speaker and his party's presumptive nominee. why the change of heart? ryan says he is confident that donald trump would help turn the republican's conservative agenda into law. donald trump overnight making no mention of the latest republican convert but earlier tweeting so great to have the endorsement and support of paul ryan.

that endorsement less embrace of trump than rejection of his likely opponent. >> it's clear to me that hillary clinton is in no certain way advancing our principles and policies. >> good afternoon. >> shifting from reluctance to acceptance over 29 days since the political outsider became the gop's presumptive nominee. >> donald trump is somebody i know is comfortable with the principles and the general policies. >> a fantasy. saying ryan capitulated to ug aniless. the men still have dramatic differences on immigration, trade and a muslim ban. just this march ryan called out trump failing to condemn david duke. >> if a person wants to be the nominee of the republican party there wan be no evasion and no games, they must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry.

>> the endorsement concludes an unusual courtship. >> paul ryan, i don't know him well but i'm sure i'm going to get along great. if i don't he has to pay a big price, okay. >> since their private pow-wow last month the pair have spoken on the phone several times. as recently this week, ryan refused to answer the magazine's questions about trump. right now 86% of republicans support trump, still there are several significant holdouts, ryan's former running mate mitt romney, the bush family, including both former presidents, and new mexico governor susana martinez. trump is now changing his tone and his tune. days after attacking her trump told her hometown newspaper i respect her, i have always liked her. matt and savannah. >> pete e thank you. >> let us bring in nicole and steve, good to see you both. steve, let me start with you. i want to talk about this violence outside this rally in san jose.

let's be clear, this was people protesting against donald trump, attacking his supporters, we've got five months to go, emotions boiling over we're in for a long summer. >> this raise as serious question we need to head to the republican convention in cleveland because you're going to have protesters not just from ohio but all over the country, converging there when you look at how this was handled, how this got out of control it raises the question, scale that up 10 times, 20 times, that's what you'll have in cleveland. are they ready for that. they have a few weeks to prepare for. >> hillary clinton's speech yesterday, wasn't so much a substantive foreign policy address as a takedown of donald trump on these issues of national security. what do you think is in -- is this the blueprint for hillary clinton going snord >> she laid out the definitive case against donald trump's candidacy. he put together an incredible victory winning the nomination but none of the 16 republicans who ran against him were able to do what she did yesterday, which was compile the litany of

personal insults and all of the things he says that call into question if you listen to bob gates who was george w. bush's and barack obama's defense secretary there is a case about his temperament. >> mitt romney came close to making that case. let's talk about the dance of politics, while hillary clinton was slamming donald trump, paul ryan was tweeting this, i'm voting for donald trump this fall i'm confident he will help turn the house gop's agendas into law. have you heard a less enthusiastic endorsement? >> it's hard to think of one. at the same time it's hard to think what choice he had. an island now, you have the polls that show close to 90% of republicans are there. and ultimately either hillary clinton or donald trump is going to be president. paul ryan, the lesser of two ev evils. >> paul ryan is our party's great hope for the future, a beloved figure and part of the reason is that he has been at the sort of heart of conservative policy making. i think there might have been a

better way, maybe take the poverty agenda, to both campaigns say trump came closer tmt way he did it will not spare him sort of taking this on both sides. but you know, i think that the exasperation people like paul ryan feel there was a legitimate foreign policy critique of hillary clinton but our nominee didn't make it yesterday. >> lest we forget we have a democratic primary. we don't want to let you go to your wall. >> well, i mean it's going to be a big night because this is what you got in thing draic side. here is the key for hillary clinton. she's going to come into the night roughly 40 off of that magic number. the first state that closes, new jersey, 8:00 p.m. eastern, the number of delegates up for grabs. the way they do it on the democratic side unless hillary clinton lost this state by 80 points she'll cross that magic number, get her 40 delegates, she will be declared the presumptive nominee. keep that in mind presumptive. sanders people will say it's not over.

why we attach the word presumptive. >> thank you very much. nice work with the monitor and nicole, thank you as well. new details on the ucla campus. it could have been worse after finding a so-called kill list at the shooter's homes thousands of miles away. on campus with more on the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a powerful memorial here on the ucla campus as investigators continue to unravel what happened. the shooter mainak sarkar left a note that led investigators all the way to minnesota and the discovery of yet another body, a woman he once married. overnight ucla professor bill klug's life was celebrated on campus. >> he was the reason why i went back to school. >> reporter: a community grieving a loss that could have been worse. >> he was certainly prepared to engage multiple victims. >> reporter: police say mainak

on fire. police in riot gear tried to disperse the crowd as tensions escalated. police say one officer was injured in the melee, but details on the severity of the injury have not been released. happening right now, donald trump is campaigning today in redding, california, but last night's chaos still making national headlines. it's also the top trending item on our website. you can link to that story and the images on our facebook page. over at uc berkeley this morning, more controversy, this surrounding a staff member facing accusations of sexual harassment. that story is posted in our twitter feed. and a former cast member of the tv series "glee" is expected to surrender to authorities, accused in a child pornography case. you can link to that update and what investigators say they have as evidence on our home page. see you in a half hour.

we have your morning jam, luke bry bryan, of course. >> "country girl, shake it for me." >> it's what we like to do, especially when luke bryan is around. >> he gives back to the crowd. look at that, signing autographs, taking selfies. >> before the concert, he was doing it. after the concert, he was doing it. >> then he's going to hang with us. he is a good guy. wants to spend more time with us. >> more importantly, he's going to dive into the celebrity fishbowl. >> oh! >> and answer questions. >> are we sure he wants to go there? >> never know what's going to come out of the fishbowl. sadly, we do know more about prince's death. we finally have a conclusive report from the medical examiner's office. it states that he died from an accidental overdose of the powerful painkiller, fentanyl. he died six weeks ago on april 21st. what's interesting is we were all reading and learning more about this very powerful opioid.

it's typically prescribed in hospitals. and typically administered in hospitals for extreme pain. usually for cancer patients. however, it can be found on the streets for sale illegally. this is, again, one of the most potent opioid painkillers in medicine. it is 50 times more powerful than heroin and morphine. it's crazy to think. >> he must have been in an extreme case of pain, to ever get to that level. >> yeah. >> so sad. the other thing that struck me in reading this was that he was 112 pounds. >> yeah, at the time of death. >> 5'3". >> mm-hmm. >> i mean, that's -- i just can't even fathom that. >> yes. >> he was a small-statured man, but still -- >> with something that powerful, how does it affect the body? >> and he self-administered,

according to the report, as well. the fact that this is a prescribable drug -- >> how did he get it? >> that's the question. that's what they're looking into. obviously, that's where the investigation shifts to, who is now responsible for giving him that prescription or giving him -- or enabling him, really, to have those drugs? police have questioned at least two doctors. a local physician was also treating him. a source familiar with the treatment says he never prescribed pope yo ed opioids. a close associate of prince called an addiction specialist, but he said he never treated the pop star, or according to his attorney. neither doctor is accused of wrongdoing. they now have a definitive way to look at the case and will be checking out that in more detail. i'm sure we'll find out soon enough. >> seems even sadder. >> it is. the irony is, you know, of course we all -- it harkens back to michael jackson, what he was

administered. >> they seem like drugs that, me, you, normal people, would never, ever be able to get our hands on. once you hit a level of celebrity, maybe, you get access to things other people wouldn't? >> the u.s. surgeon general tweeted out 41 people die every day of opioid addiction. thousands of people die every year. >> so it's out there. >> it's out there and available on the black market. >> sure. >> then you don't know what you're getting. this is a powerful enough opioid in its own, pure form, when it's prescribed, but you can imagine the black market. they mix it probably with all kinds of things. >> very scary. >> scary stuff. kind of a wild story out of florida. >> yeah. >> there's this guy who was fishing out north of tampa. he fell overboard. his boat floated off, and he's stuck in the water. >> without a life vest? >> without anything.

no one else was around him. he is treading water for 20 hours. >> oh, my gosh! >> i can't tread water for two minutes. >> no. >> i'm the most awkward swimmer to begin with. here is his rescue. he is fine. he said, the scariest part about the whole ordeal was that it happened overnight. >> yeah. >> so he made it through the day. then it gets dark. >> there he is. >> i can't imagine. >> he actually had navy training. he said that helped him get through the night. he was a little dehydrated. he felt like he was starting to feel some of the effects of hypothermia. because at night, it was getting colder. he kept praying and praying. he said, tomorrow morning, as soon as the sun comes up, they're going to find me. they're going to find me. he was spotted by the coast guard. he is fine now. what an ordeal! >> and we have a little clip of what he had to say after spotting the coast guard. >> yeah. >> flew by me and i thought they didn't see me. 200 yards later, they dropped the flare. i was like, yes!

i'm going to live through this thing. when you watch your boat float away, you go, well, either going to do it or sit out here and die. >> i can't believe that. 20 yehours. >> i'm happy it turned out the way it did. he was, you know -- he had the wherewithal to tread water for 20 hours and keep himself alive. >> there are sharks in the waters. >> i wouldn't want to be in there. >> jeff rossen the other day had done a piece about, you know, when you think about trying to find one person by themselves in the ocean, the coast guard does amazing, amazing work. to be able to spot somebody, find them, rescue them and bring them back alive. >> the positive attitude, i think, and the power of prayer, perhaps, i think it allowed him to keep treading. and the navy training, no doubt, it got him through. >> thank god he's okay. we saw this earlier. if you're listening, in the kitchen or something, you have

to come to the tv and see this. >> come close. >> emma, little girl from houston, texas, is living with a prosthetic leg. her parents recently surprised her with a very special new doll. look at this. >> you -- you -- you've got to be kidding me. no! [ laughter ] >> it's got a leg like me! >> do you love it? >> i love you! thank you for making a doll like me. >> oh, my gosh. >> every time i see it, my heart swells. >> i was crying earlier. >> emma oes m's mom post thd oe

side and two minutes on the other. that's how quick they are. unless you have jumbo shrimp. it's an oxymoron. >> it is. it's easier on a regular grill, too, because they don't fall through. >> flip them over. take these off. you have your marinades. continue to brush them. >> shrimp are amazing. oh, my gosh. really good. >> now, beef tenderloin. basically, here is your marinade. cilantro, pepper -- >> my favorite. >> olive oil. red wine vinegar. salt. you're going to take -- we've got parsley, cilantro, oregano. generally, it's nice and neat. again, only take half of this to use for the marinade. which, again, you'll put in the cubed tenderloin.

mix it up. you're going to put this in the fridge for about -- at least 30 minutes. hopefully three hours. you can leave it overnight. >> the problem i have with kabobs is i put the vegetables and the meat together and they don't cook. >> don't do that. >> what about the wooden sticks? >> i said -- >> oh, i missed it. i was chowing. >> the vegetables cook at a different rate than the meat. make separate kabobs. take nice pitas, warm them. >> yeah. >> just like that. >> little olive oil on the bottom. really good. >> that's where i messed up. >> there we go. >> i forgot to take it off the stick. >> extra fiber. we'll mention a "today" food club standout.
