it's 5:30 in the east, 2:30 in the west. this is "way too early." ♪ good morning, everyone. it's monday, august 17th. i am ayman mohyeldin. the first poll since the highly watched debate is out. trump is roughly where he stood before the debate. retired neurosurgeon ben carson has rocketed into second, doubling his predebate support. senator ted cruz climbs to third place after previously being tied for fifth. jeb bush has slipped six points since the debate. over the weekend donald trump

talked about his durability in the polls. >> i don't think i made mistakes. they do the polls and my numbers go up. i guess i haven't made any mistakes. look when i said mexico is sending, i was talking about illegal immigration. the people understood it, even though the press didn't want them to. my numbers went up. i talked about john mccain, i was saying how bad he has treated the veterans because the veterans are treated badly. who do you like better to the veterans, john mccain or trump? i swamp him in the poll. last thing with fox, i love roger ales but all you have to do is ask him who won. >> not the only candidate at the iowa state fair this weekend but was the only one to arrive like this. he landed at the airport in des moines and took his private helicopter to a site near the fire grounds. once there, he took questions by the press surrounded by local children who gathered for chopper rides. trump rolled out his point by point approach on immigration on

"meet the press." >> not doing great. >> let's see they have the money. they will pay for the wall. they're sending drugs and they're taking money out. they're making a lot of money. mexico is making a lot of money. i'm a big fan of mexico. i'm a huge fan of the mexican people. i have thousands of mexican people working for me now and have over the years but they have to pay for the wall. we need the wall. do you know ten years ago, hillary and everybody wanted a wall? now they say it's too expensive. now they say it's too expensive. >> you say you will be able to streamline that a little bit? >> i'm the best builder in the country. >> you want to get rid of birthright citizenship? >> you have to. they're having a baby. you have no choice. >> you believe that they're trying -- >> you have no choice. the executive order gets rescinded. >> you'll rescind that one, too? >> one good thing -- >> the dream act executive order? >> we have to make a whole new

set of standards. when people come in -- >> you're going to split up families, deport children? >> chuck, no, we have to keep families together. >> you're going to keep them together out? >> they have to go. >> what if they have no place to go? >> we will work with them. they have to go. chuck, either we have a country or we don't have a country. >> donald trump appears at a municipal court here in manhattan in a couple of hours to report for jury duty. he was fined $250 earlier this year for ignoring five previous summons. >> i have jury duty. can you believe this? i look forward to it actually. i have no expectation. i just hope they're innocent, whoever it is. i hope they're innocent. >> the same fox news poll shows many people are skeptical about hillary clinton's comments on her e-mail server, 58% said she knowingly lied when she said there was no classified

information in her e-mail, 33% say there's probably another explanation and 54% say the country's national security was put at risk by her use of the server. meanwhile "the washington times" reports 60 e-mails have been flagged so far for possible classified information. according to the paper, most of them were at the lowest level of kfrlgs. clinton met the scrutiny head on this weekend in iowa. >> first, i've said in the past that, you know, i used a single account for convenience. obviously, these years later, it doesn't look so convenient. i never sent classified material on my e-mail and i never received any that was marked classified. so i'm going to let whatever this inquiry is go forward and will await the outcome of it.

>> and at a democratic dinner, she seemed to make light of it, in fact. >> by the way, you may have seen that i recently launched a snap chat account. i love it! i love it! those messages disappear all by themselves. >> turning overseas now as officials say they have located the wreckage of a missing indonesian plane with 54 people on board. the debris was located in a remote part of papua about seven miles from the intended destination. search and rescue crews are trying to reach the area. smoke could still be seen from the crash site. the 27-year-old trigana airliner had 44 adults, five children, two babies and five crew members on board.

the pilot reported visibility was too poor to land. it would be the last communication before the plane vanished. half a million dollars was on board going to remote villages in the area. indonesia has seen two other deadly plane crashes in the last year alone. fears are growing about the chemical contamination as the death toll rises from the explosion that rocked a chinese warehouse. 114 people have been confirmed dead after the disaster. 70 others are still missing, including more than 60 firefighters. about 100 people, whose homes were nearby that have been damaged by the explosion are now demanding compensation from the government. it comes as officials say the warehouse contained several hundred tons of sodium cyanide, a toxic chemical, according to state media. the facility was only allowed to possess ten tons at a time. there's concern that incoming

storm also spread the poisonous material to other areas. let's turn now to business. expansive expose in the sunday "new york times" still reverberating, depicting what some say it is actually like to work at the giant. joining us from london now on that exclusive report, nancy hulgrave. >> they commented on a competitive culture where workers sometimes even sabotage others while giving feedback to superiors. ceo has come out fighting these claims saying it does not describe the amazon i know or caring amazonians i work with every day.

if you know of any stories like that reported i want to escalate them to hr and you can also e-mail me directly. they're taking a unique approach, not only criticizing what "the new york times" had to say but asking employees to come to him directly. he even said himself that some of the claims issued in this article if, in fact, they were true, he wouldn't want to work at amazon either. honest approach from a ceo who has not always been friendly with the press. ayman? >> frontier airlines are saying good-bye now to their toll free number. what's the bottom line behind that? how much will that save them? >> just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, right? extra baggage, fees, all that kind of thing. now you no longer get a free phone call. the idea is that it will dramatically cut costs. they're taking a note out of spirit airlines playbook. 21% profit margin in their most recent earnings and one thing they did was remove these toll

free calls. it will help to reduce cost dramatically. frontier spokesperson told us they expect a savings of $2 million a year. you have to wonder if it's worth it that people can't even pick up a phone for free anymore. on the other side people think about the fees associated with long distance calls anymore since they're often included in phone packages. it says a bigger thing about frontier airlines as they're going to make a transition as a budget carrier to. >> thank you so much for that update. life long civil rights activist and former naacp chairman julian bond died saturday. he served as president in the 1970s. hailing him as a visionary and tireless champion for civil and human rights.

nbc's kristen dahlgren has more on his life. >> reporter: for many, julian bond was more than just a hero of the civil rights moch s move. he was a vital link to the past. >> like many of you, i was privileged to be here 50 years ago and, like many of you, i am the grandson of a slave. >> reporter: from his early college days, the tennessee native was out front at civil rights protests. when bond was elected to the georgia statehouse in 1965, white legislators voted not to seat him because of his stance against the vietnam war. >> the right of free speech, the right to descent, the right to voice an opinion that may be unpopular. but i think a second and equally as important issue is the right of people, in this case, my constituents, to be represented by someone they chose. >> reporter: the supreme court agreed.

>> fellow delegates, the people of america are watching us now. >> reporter: during the 1968 presidential election, bond became the first african-american proposed as a major party candidate for vice president. three years later, he cofounded the southern poverty law center with morris dees. >> i think that america has lost a real champion for all groups, people that were discriminated against. >> reporter: bond was charismatic, once hosting "saturday night live." >> how are things in the peach state? >> the pits, mr. president. >> reporter: in the late '90s, bond was selected as chairman of the naacp, where he continued his life's work. the king center tweeted, "rest in power and thank you." while president obama called bond's widow pamela and in a statement remembered a man he called a hero and a friend. julian bond helped change this country for the better. and what better way to be remembered than that. julian bond was 75. >> bond is survived by his wife, pamela, and five children. still ahead on "way too

pointed battle online to counter the terror group's powerful propaganda machine aimed at recruiting young americans and others. it's a fight the u.s. can't win alone. >> reporter: authorities say all it took for mohammed and jaelynn -- allegedly lured to isis through its slick online real time propaganda. >> no longer the case that someone who is troubled needs to go find this propaganda and motivation. it buzzes in their pocket. there is a device, almost a devil on their shoulder all day long saying, "kill, kill, kill, kill." >> reporter: fighting an uphill war with isis with tweets in hash tags that promote

its founder converted to islam at 16 and understands the lure of groups like isis. >> if we can show our youth how to engage communities and engage the world around them in a healthy, productive, positive way, we can counter the effects of isis and their ability to steal our youth away. >> to me, those people are the answer. young muslim social media entrepreneurs, i would put my money on them rather than anybody else. >> young american muslims may prove to be the u.s.'s best weapon against isis online. officials insist one of their main goals is to find the voices of muslims condemning and rejecting isis' ideology online and then helping them to curb the lure of young american followers. >> when you party with a 3 and 5-year-old, it gets a little

nuts. >> hey, man, what you do in your own spare time is up to you. >> exactly. we've seen a hot week. we have a little bit of bad weather today. fires out west. record heat in the desert southwest. worst weather of the morning is in iowa. in des moines, heavy rain for your morning commute. today is not a dramatic weather day. not too much death, destruction, anything like that. 4 million people at risk. wind damage or hail likely in colorado, urban corridor from denver toward colorado springs. isolated storms back to chicago. three-day severe weather outbre outbreak. we'll watch cooler type air trying to move east. by tuesday, severe weather across des moines, kansas city, almost toward chicago and st. louis. and by the time we get to wednesday, the cold front makes it toward a very populated area. 23 million people at risk from cleveland, chicago, st. louis. almost near record heat, 95 in d.c. going out on a little bit of a

was not chosen. i was the opposite of chosen because i was different. and i think i want to make sure that everyone knows that what makes you different right now makes you stand out later in life. so you should be proud of being different. i won a people's choice award. i would think teens would be in that category. i don't know why teens are not in the people category. i would like an award from elderly and babies if they're breaking it down. >> i want one of those teen choice surfboards. nice message from ellen there. >> keep working hard at it. i'm sure you'll get there one day, louis. that does it for me and "way too early." coming up on "morning joe," donald trump reveal ace proposal to deal with immigration. shake-up in the polls but trump continues to lead the field. we have new numbers that
