look at this jeep from yesterday. that guy was rescued by the fire department. so some incredible pictures that are continuing as our flash flood threat continues in texas. even at this hour some dangerous conditions have developed. right around san antonio. this cluster of thunderstorms has kind of merged. two separate pieces and now it's merged over the top of san antonio. already reports of two inches of rain has fallen. saturated soil. water is quickly rushing into all of the little streams that go through the city. they are saying over the next couple of hours very dangerous conditions and life threatening weather possible. so if you're out driving around in san antonio, flash flood warning all around the city, and almost halfway down to laredo too with water. as far as the flash flood threat, oklahoma city all the way to south texas, 22 million people are at risk. because the ground is so saturated it doesn't take much. maybe a quick inch of rain and you'd have rain in places that wouldn't normally have it.

here's quick look at this morning's dish of "scrambled politics." senator bernie sanders can count the president as a fan. well, kenneth starr has resigned as the chancellor at

pay lohr university. it comes after allegations of sexual assault by football players. starr is best known for his investigation into bill clinton's affair into the 1990s. he's set to remain as a professor at baylor law school. top pentagon official charged with stealing license plates. bryan whitman has entered an agreement with prosecutors okeep him out of jail. he is charged with stealing license plates from his neighbor's nanny. according to whitman the nanny misused her parking rights. the charges will be dismissed if whitman pays for damage, completes community service and doesn't break the law again. after staying overnight at the doubletree, president obama will deliver the commencement address at the air force academy in colorado. that is your morning dish of "scrambled politics." 22 after the hour. let's bring in jonathan allen, head of the community and content for side wire and a columnist for roll tree. the president stays at a doubletree. not bad. >> you think if you're president

you'd stay at the holiday inn express. >> let's talk about donald trump. he's based his platform on his business skills. so could this investigation into trump university really derail his campaign? >> i think the bigger issue for him right now, trump university, i think it will be an issue for him. is that this is a situation where he's being accused of essentially scamming people as hillary clinton is saying and he's somebody who presents himself as a champion of the little guy. here he appears to have at least according to some allegations taken advantage of people. being unscrupulous. i think that hurts his main narrative. >> in a bit of an ironic twist, the pga's decision to moving to mexico. is this a sign they don't want to be associated with trump? >> i think there is a toxicity to his brand. you think of companies not wanting to be associated with states that are passing anti-gay laws i think everyone is

conscious about their corporate brand and so i think donald trump is having some difficulty in some corners and in some corporate corners with his brand. >> quickly, we heard the president predict that the democratic nominee will be clear by next week. do you agree? >> absolutely. i think the president other than bernie sanders is the -- is one of the last people to they. >> all right. jonathan allen, thanks for joining us. we appreciate it as always. a new poll on same-sex relations and a big surprise in a yard sale freezer. you have to listen to what's coming up on that story. you're watching "first look."

leading the news on nbc news.com, poll finds more americans are okay with same-sex experiences. nearly 50% of americans had no issue with same-sex relations. that is a huge jump since 1990 when only 13% were okay. since then bisexual behavior has also doubled? new developments in the san bernardino case. the man who purchased the rifle was connected with a group of california jihadists. the group was arrested in 2012 when they attempted to join al qaeda in afghanistan. and listen to this, a woman who purchased a freezer for $30 in north carolina was shocked when she found a dead body inside. the woman said she didn't open the freezer immediately because her neighbor said the items inside were for a church project. she looked inside and called 911. foul play is not suspected.

goodness. all right. from that we'll make a sharp turn to this. we all know babies can make their big debut in the world at the most awkward moments. like this time at a lowe's parking lot in alaska. >> a lot of people there to help. >> that's true. a lot of tools in case you need help. that's where dozens witnessed a moose give birth. though officials have reminded people do not get between a moose and a baby during calving season but the crowd still watched from afar. i'm betty nguyen.

and it's almost over. i think both bernie sanders and hillary clinton are good people. >> i notice you don't mind using their names. >> well, you know, as said they're not as good as marketing. >> president obama on the road and on the record yesterday sounding off on donald trump and sharing his thoughts on when the democratic race will end. meanwhile, donald trump is defending himself against accusations of fraud over trump university. the latest on that and is he the mostly tigs you nominee ever? and hillary clinton, will she strike the right balance, winning over the republicans without alienating democrats? it's 5:30 here on the east coast, 2:30 on the west. this is "way too early."
