good monday morning. right now on "first look," chicago's rain of gunfire continues with over 60 people shot during this fourth of july weekend alone. weather around the globe is taking its toll, including tornadoes, flooding and even a super typhoon. enhanced security measures at airports continue with a focus on smartphones, tablets and computers. plus, airplane parts go flying as a train derails. most americans skipped the summer blockbusters at the movies and a wild weekend in sports. good to be with you. i'm francis rivera. it was a violent weekend in chicago with 60 people shot, 7 now dead. at least one of the people killed was a 16-year-old. police say he was armed, pointing his gun at officers and
2:01 am
wouldn't put his weapon down. witnesses disagree, saying police went after the wrong person. >> the shooter kept running down the alley and nobody stopped to pursue him. they all went after one kid, 16 years old. >> birthday next week. >> and if you're an officer, you know shoot in the leg, not the head. >> more than one officer. >> more than one shot this kid. >> of the deadly shootings, some were police-involved. the "chicago tribune" has a map of where the shootings have taken place in the city. since january 11st, there have been 1,100 shooting victims. a line of storms passed through central iowa sunday night. the national weather service reports tornadoes in at least three counties. this one was captured by storm chasers there about an hour northwest of cedar rapids. the storms ripped off roofs, caved in a door and damaged a
2:02 am
garage. so far, no reports of any injuries. if you are coming to the united states from overseas, you may want to make sure that your cell phone is charged. that's because the tsa has announced strict, new security rules for electronic devices at some overseas airports with direct flights to the united states. officers may now ask you to turn on your cell phone, tablet or laptop, and if it's not charged up, it won't be allowed on the airplane. u.s. intelligence officials are concerned that al qaeda could produce a bomb in an electronic device that could go undetected. since last october, more than 220 immigrants have died crossing the u.s./mexico border, and during that time period, more than 52,000 unaccompanied children have been detained. nbc's stephanie gosk has more on the many, many children who have made the 1,000-mile trek to america. >> reporter: for honduran kids traveling by themselves, the journey really begins here. adults are allowed to cross into guatemala legally, but the children are not, so they come to points that the border patrol
2:03 am
call puento siegos, blind spots, literally, that they can't patrol. on the other side of the river is guatemala. if they make it across, they have a more than 1,000-mile journey. to get to the u.s., they will have crossed three borders and countless dangers, among them drug cartels, bandits, and those coyotes who say they're going to help them but often just end up taking their money. but almost every young person we speak to says it is worth the risk because they are confident that what they will find where they're going is going to be better than what they're leaving behind. stephanie gosk, nbc news on the guatemala/honduras border. the obama administration is seeking ways to cope with the tens of thousands of children entering the u.s. illegally. on "meet the press" sunday, secretary of homeland security jeh johnson told nbc's david gregory that officials should soon be able to stem the tide. >> our message to those who come here illegally, our border is
2:04 am
not open to illegal migration, and we are taking a number of steps to address it, including turning people around faster. >> johnson said processing adults who have entered the country illegally is being sped up, but kids who cross the border by themselves are a different story. he said we "have to do right by the children." meanwhile, the government is spending $1 million on a new ad campaign in central america. it is to warn parents that it's dangerous to send kids to the united states alone. the public service announcements will run on radio and television in el salvador, honduras and guatemala through september. in the middle east, the militant group hamas is vowing revenge for an israeli air strike in gaza that killed seven of its members. the israeli military says about a dozen rockets were fired at israel from gaza overnight in response to a recent rocket attacks from gaza. two militants from a different group were also killed in a separate strike. meanwhile, more violent protests in jerusalem and israeli arab towns sunday, in response to the
2:05 am
death of a 16-year-old palestinian american boy killed last week in retaliation for the murders of three israeli teens. on sunday, israeli police arrested six jewish suspects in the killing, one of whom has reportedly confessed to the murder. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu condemned the killing and promised to prosecute those responsible. also, a 15-year-old palestinian american boy visiting jerusalem from florida has been released from police custody after paying a fine. his case drew international condemnation after video surfaced showing israeli police beating the young man almost to the point of unconsciousness. he says he was beaten for no reason. all right, we take you now to sports this morning after the holiday weekend, and derek jeter is now mr. 3,400. he went 3 for 4 against minnesota on sunday, ending the day with his 3,400th career hit. he becomes the eighth player to hit that milestone. jeter will also start at shortstop in this year's all-star game. it is his 14th all-star game of
2:06 am
his 20-year career. joined by 25 first-time all-stars and 24 foreign-born players, the top vote-getters, toronto's jose bautista with nearly 6 million votes and colorado's troy tulowitzki with 5.3 million. fans will vote in the final players for each league's 34-man roster. it concludes on thursday. in indiana, an unexpected hit at a minor league game here. see this? it's a bird flying right in the path of a pitch, getting knocked to the ground. it was removed, but unfortunately, that bird didn't make it. an estimated 2.5 million people lined the streets for the first two stages of the tour de france. a crash during stage one led to martin cavendish's exit from the race with a dislocated shoulder. and stage two had a few hiccups, but an italian rider widened the gap to take the win. right after he crossed that line, look, watch. awkward! denied that kiss during the ceremony. the final stage in england is today.
2:07 am
>> he's a magnificent champion and a great example of a great athlete and role model for many kids, so, i respect your career and everything you have done, and thank you for letting me win today. >> novak djokovic speaking to roger federer there after beating him for the wimbledon title. djokovic won in five sets to claim his second wimbledon title and seventh grand slam of his career and now ranked number one in the world. to the daytona for the coke 400 there. a few rain delays. look at those clouds, just coming down. and then this. lap 97, and what do you get? a major car pileup. in fact, 26 cars get caught up in that mix. the chain reaction sending dirt and mud flying, then that is kyle busch's car flipped on its roof. busch eventually climbs out. he's okay. first-time winner eric almirola ended up taking the checkered flag. and the selfie craze not stopping any time soon. it continues. a player for the sporting kc

soccer team snapped a selfie with fans after scoring a goal for his team. turned out okay, pretty nice, but the ref not so fond, dishing him a yellow card for showboating. and the anticipated "espn" magazine body issue will be released friday. this year's featured athletes include surfer cocoa ho, tennis star venus williams, and on the cover, nba's serge ibaka. all right, japan is bracing for a rendezvous with a super typhoon that's being described as a "once in a decade storm." the dangerous cyclone is headed right for oak gnawa, where the u.s. has a large military presence. this is typhoon neoguri with winds up to 155 miles per hour. that's the equivalent of a high-end category 4 hurricane. it's expected to reach okinawa on tuesday. as for what we have here at home, we turn to meteorologist jeanette kelly. welcome to "first look" on msnbc. >> thank you, francis. >> a lot of people are headed
2:09 am
back from the long holiday weekend. >> yes. >> fireworks all taken care of, so what can we expect? >> we expect to see the threat for more severe weather, as you mentioned. in iowa, there was some severe weather last night, and there is still the threat for more severe weather on this monday. take a look at the yellow shaded areas. it looks like the stronger thunderstorms in parts of the northeast will be early today father to the south and west, thunderstorms will be firing up as we head on into the afternoon. some spotty thunderstorms in florida. that's the case from orlando to miami. and also in the afternoon, thunderstorms in sections of the four corners, especially across sections of arizona and new mexico. those thunderstorms could bring some locally heavy rainfall, frances. >> all right, jeanette, thank you very much. we'll check in with you later. t.g.i. friday's make a risky move. plus, which states drink the most beer? then, a pistol-packing restaurant called shooters in rifle, colorado, where the waitresses are locked and loaded. and a frightening fly-by that has spectators shaking. you are watching "first look" on msnbc.

so good, they grew from here. to here. to here. but to grow again, to the east coast they needed a new factory, but where? fortunately, they get financing from ge capital. we not only have teams dedicated to the food industry, we're also part of ge, a company that's built hundreds of factories. so we could bring in experts to help king's hawaiian make sense of transportation routes, supply chains, labor pools, and zoning to help them make the right decision. and, i'd like to think, to make their founder proud. if you just need a loan, just call a bank. at ge capital, we're builders. and what we know, can help you grow.
2:13 am
let's get down to business with cnbc's courtney reagan. welcome, courtney, back from the holiday. >> yes, exactly. welcome back to from the holiday for all of us, a rude awakening this monday. futures are lower as investors return from the holiday weekend along with the two of us. the dow closing above 17,000 on thursday, though, and that followed a strong jobs report that saw the economy add 288,000 workers in june and unemployment dropped to 6.1%. ahead this week, minutes from the latest fed meeting and earnings from wells fargo. well, tgif fridays is launching an endless appetizer promotion as it tries to boost sales, meaning you can get unlimited refills for $10 per person. sharing, though, is discouraged. analysts say the offer might backfire as customers could take an unfair advantage of that unlimited part. and "transformers" tops the weekend box office, but not all is well at the movie theater.
2:14 am
ticket sales are down 20% this summer due to a lack of blockbusters. receipts are down 4% for the entire year. frances, back to you. >> courtney, thank you very much. some of the other stories we're following this morning. is this the face of the militant group isis? iraq's security agencies are analyzing this video, which can't be independently authenticated by nbc news. it appears to show the insurgent leader abu bakr al baghdadi delivering a sermon in the city of mosul. sunni extremists have forcibly seized land in northern iraq over the past month. people in the midwest are bracing for heavy rains and flooding this week. in iowa, the army corps of engineers rushes to release water from a dam. people pile sandbags to protect themselves from an already swollen river. some mandatory evacuations are in effect. a train derailment in montana sent boeing aircraft parts into the clark fork river. 19 cars derailed, sending three boeing 737 aircraft fuselages partially in the water. no one was hurt. and thousands of people pack the streets of papilloma, spain.
2:15 am
it's that time of year, ahead of the annual running of the bulls. the first event started just hours ago, and already four people were taken to the hospital. one bull got one woman in the thigh. clearly not for the faint of heart. a charging bull can hit a top speed of around 40 miles per hour. and a very close call for spectators at an english air show. yeah, that's a turkish f-16. you see it pass so insanely low, yeah, could have given a few people a haircut. look at the man in the orange here as it just zooms right by. look at him. he doesn't even flinch! in rifle, colorado, there's a restaurant called shooters grill. they welcome not only pistol-packing customers, but the cooks and wait staff are also well armed. they have won 11 local choice awards for food and service, while the wait staff bag about their top gun tips. and we have a new candidate for the world's craziest human being ever. this is the first guy to test the tallest water slide in kansas city.
2:16 am
look at this video as he goes down. at 168 feet, it is higher than niagara falls. insane. time to bring you health news this morning. which u.s. state drinks the most beer? well, a new study from beer marketers insights get to the bottom of that glass. north dakota grabs the top spot. drinking age adults on average consume over 43 gallons of suds in 2013. new hampshire, montana, south dakota and vermont round out the top five. and at the bottom of the list, utah on average drink less than half of what north dakotaans did. well, hillary clinton's favorite european leader and the closest political race in the country today, and a new push to seize guns. "scrambled politics" is next. i make a lot of purchases for my business. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase. like 50,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores.
2:17 am
2:19 am
on this monday, here's your first look at this morning's dish of "scrambled politics." with tension growing between israel and palestine, senator john mccain says president obama should send secretary of state john kerry to the region. the arizona republican made the statement on cbs's "face the nation." >> in this case, i think that our secretary of state, secretary kerry, could go to the region and try to maybe do a little shuttle diplomacy. this thing is in danger of spiraling out of control. there's a whole lot of reasons for it, but right now this is the time where the united states could play a constructive role. an investigation led by the "washington post" reveals that
2:20 am
about 90% of the people spied on by the nsa are not real targets. the report is based on hundreds of thousands of e-mails and instant message conversations provided to the "post" by edward snowden. lawmakers in california and new jersey are weighing the possibility of gun seizure laws. a bill proposed in new jersey would allow people to petition a judge to confiscate a gun from a relative if they can prove the person is in danger. similar legislation has been proposed in california. former secretary of state hillary clinton is apparently quite a fan of german chancellor angela merkel. while speaking in berlin as part of her book tour, clinton said merkel is "the greatest leader in europe." president obama's hoping to bring wi-fi to schools across the country, but the proposal might be squelched by teachers. a new plan from the fcc would give $5 million to the wi-fi push. educators, though, are criticizing the fcc for committing so much money exclusively to that plan. and from newsday.com, the two candidates running for mayor in the tiny new york village of
2:21 am
daring harbor have tied with 25 votes each! the election, as you can imagine, is heading into overtime today. about 60 people live in that village. every single vote counts. and that is your morning dish of "scrambled politics." all right, joining us from washington, d.c., david nakamura, reporter from the "washington post." welcome back from the holiday weekend, david. we certainly know politics doesn't take a break for the holiday. >> never does. >> lots to cover here. let's start with the border crisis, still swirling, creating a political divide. and in the middle, tens of thousands of these children. homeland security adviser jeh johnson appeared on "meet the press," i'm sure you saw it, saying u.s. borders are not often. but when asked if these kids will be deported, johnson seemed uncertain, even with repeated attempts by david gregory to clarify. so, what was your takeaway with that dodge of yes or no, they will be deported? >> this has been a difficult issue for the obama administration.
2:22 am
they're under pressure and they believe, i think themselves, that they need to do something, you know, strong, send a strong message to central american countries that these kids and women and children who are trying to come across the border can't keep coming. and so, they've been trying to send a stronger message, saying we're going do more to ramp up enforcement but also do more to try to speed up deportations, particularly of women that are coming. but the children are a different matter. if they come without their parents from central american countries, they cannot be legally sent back immediately. they can from mexico because it's a continuous border, but not the central american countries. so, jeh johnson has been under pressure to say we're going to do all we can to get rid of these children, but the u.s. law permits them to be placed with families here in the u.s. while they await administrative hearings, and there's legal issues about sending them right back. so, that's the problem for the administration, and also, liberal advocates for immigration are saying you can't just send these kids back because they're facing potential danger. so, that's the problem of the administration, but a muddled message doesn't help. >> certainly doesn't help, and rick perry suggesting that the obama administration is inept
2:23 am
and set this whole thing up. quickly, lead story by the "washington post" in your newsroom, that huge investigation into the nsa that found the agency's intercepting more ordinary users, many americans, than it intended, in fact, nine out of ten, spurring the debate of privacy versus national security, and then you know, edward snowden, patriot versus traitor. it just stirs it all up again. >> absolutely. the story illustrates very clearly both the benefits and the costs of a program like this nsa spying and wiretapping. and basically, what the story showed was that although there was some legitimate value to what was going on, some led to direct arrests of terrorists and bomb builders overseas, it also swept up very personal e-mails of people who had no idea what was going on, and that's the problem. so, these revelations could make americans think once again critically about this program. >> absolutely. thank you very much, david nakamura for us, every monday. we appreciate it. >> thanks, frances. just ahead, hear firsthand what it's like to have a run-in with a great white shark. plus, how former beatle paul

leading the news in the "seattle times," state's retail pot gets rolling tuesday. it's been 20 months since washington state voted to legalize weed, and finally on tuesday, it goes on sale. but state officials say demand will certainly outstrip supply in the early months. it was a great white shark attack off of manhattan beach in california. tragedy was averted by this young man, justin hoot. hoot, who works at a surfboard rental tent, was the first responder when steve robles was attacked by a great white. he jumped right in when he heard screams and was quickly joined
2:28 am
by others. robles, who suffered from a bite under his arm and punctured artery is well on his way to recovery. >> i grabbed one of them and paddled out. and then by that time, we had gotten you on to a soft-top surfboard, and so, then there were probably like six of us pushing you in. >> robles, who suffers from both a bite under his arm and punctured artery, is well on his way, as we mentioned. time for a little pop culture here. it was 50 years ago, july 6th, the beatles' black-and-white comedy "hard day's night" hit theaters. the digital restoration will thrill fans at 100 theaters around the united states. and speaking of, paul mccartney has returned to the stage after a brief illness. in albany, he helped a 64-year-old man propose in front of 13,000 people. ♪ will you still need me, will you still feed me when i'm 64 ♪ >> sweetheart, will you marry me? >> yes!
2:29 am
>> the couple held signs that read "he won't marry me until he meets you and i have the ring and i'm 64." i'm frances rivera, and thanks for being with us. before we say good-bye, that's jessica simpson, who tied the knot with boyfriend eric johnson over the weekend. "way too early" starts right now. ♪ this is a failure of diplomacy, it is a failure of leadership from the administration in washington, d.c. what has to be addressed is the security of the border. you know that, i know that, the president of the united states knows that. i don't believe he particularly cares whether or not the border of the united states is secure. >> undocumented immigrants, mostly women and children, continue to flood the u.s.'s southern border. with the president expected to visit texas this week, is an executive order going to follow? keep your devices charged or risk losing them, as the tsa cracks down on passengers coming to the u.s. from certain international airports. what has them so worried? and how much does your
2:30 am
american dream cost? the new price tag on affording happiness. this is "way too early"! ♪ hey, there, everybody! good morning. i'm thomas roberts. it is monday, july 7th. hope you had a great weekend and welcome to "way too early," the show that has a number in mind about how to afford the american dream, but we won't reveal it until our next contract negotiations. jen and i have a very firm number in mind. we're going to work it out. all right, so, before we can afford the american dream, let's talk about attaining it, because we begin with the nation's immigration crisis, which is sure to be a top issue for lawmakers returning to capitol hill this week. u.s. border guards are being overwhelmed by a wave of undocumented immigrants, often children without parents who are flooding into texas and other crossing points. most are from honduras, el salvador and guatemala, and once apprehended, they are detained inside the u.s. instead of being immediately deported. that's leading to this chronic shortage of hdi
