makes land fall along the gulf coast. the storm's effects have been felt across much of the sunshine state. it's 5:30 on the east coast, 2:30 out west. this is "way too early." good morning. it's tuesday, june 7th, i'm jonathan capehart. this morning, hillary clinton is on the path to history. last night at 8:45, nbc news declared her the presumptive democratic nominee. setting her up to become the first woman to secure a major party nomination. her composite delegate total now stands at 2,384, one more than the number needed to nominate. but with six states voting this

morning and hundreds of delegates up for grabs both campaigns slammed on the brakes. clinton's campaign called it an important milestone. and her account tweeted, they're flattered but last night she didn't declare victory and sanders vowed to fight on. >> i've got to tell you according to the news we are in the brink of a historic -- historic, unprecedented moment. but we still have work to do, don't we? we have six elections tomorrow. and we're going to fight hard for every single vote, especially right here in california. >> and if we can't win here in california, win in south dakota, montana, new mexico, do well in new jersey, we're going to go in to that convention with enormous momentum. >> both campaigns finished up the eve of the election with

massive events and celebrity friends. bernie sanders brought on david matthews to play for the 10,000 sanders supporters who gathered in sight of the golden gate bridge and hillary clinton sold out a fund-raiser hosting nearly 6,000 people with guests like ricky martin, john legend, christina aguilera, stevie wonder and cher and many more. but what everyone is waiting to see is how last night's call will impact today's turnout. and one sanders staffer says they're hoping it will energize the supporters. one more thing, for first time in weeks hillary clinton took questions from the media, gagling with them in compton. and bernie sanders got caught up in a testy exchange with "the new york times" reporter at the outset of a news conference when she asked about the implications of him not leaving the race. >> what do you say -- >> excuse me. >> what do you say to those -- staying in the race? >> excuse me, ma'am. >> answer the question.

>> well, your hands are up as well. you have a question? >> what do you say -- you staying in the race -- what do you say to those that you staying in the race is sexist and -- >> is that a serious question? >> yes. >> that any woman runs for president, your question implies that any woman that any person, any woman who is running for president is by definition the best candidate. so any woman who runs? >> but you have to -- >> to say it's sexist, that a any -- so if hillary clinton runs for president is your point that it is sexist for any man to oppose her? >> no, my point is if she has more delegates than you tomorrow -- >> well, that's another point. i don't think it's sexist. >> donald trump has doubled down on his attacks on the judge overseeing the case involving his for profit real estate course, trump university. bloomberg politics reports that on a conference call with surrogates, trump demanded they

intensify their attacks on the judge and others involved in the case. according to bloomberg, trump said we will overcome and i have always won and i'm going to continue to win and that's the way it is. it goes on -- when former arizona governor jan brewer interrupted the discussion to inform trump his own surrogates were asked to stop talking about it, he overruled it and he said, throw it the hell out. trump said are there any other stupid letters that are sent to you folk, meaning directly sent from his campaign. quote, that's the one -- that's one of the reasons i want to have this call because you guys are getting sometimes stupid information from people that aren't so smart. speaking with reporters, corey lewandowski said he wouldn't share details of the private call which covered multiple topics. only that trump gave the individuals on the call the understanding and the background of the case. that it should have been dismissed on summary judgment. the bloomberg report was not

accurate he said, but refused to specify the inaccuracies. last night, trump spoke with fox news host bill o'reilly who called on judge curiel to recuse himself to remove doubt. >> if he recuses himself i think it would be interesting. i think the judge is an honest man, i don't think he's hosing you. i really don't. i've checked him. >> i want him to be. mexican or not mexican i want him to be -- all i want him to do is give him a fair shake. when we have thousands of people -- why do this continue to go forward? much of the focus has been on donald trump calling the american born judge curiel a mexican. despite his being an american born in indiana. according to bloomberg politics report of his campaign conference call, trump decried allegations of racism and he said the people asking the question, those are the racists. i would go at them. he said that the campaign should also actively criticize television reporters, quote, i'd

let them have it. he said. that's where i come in. because donald trump has already called me a racist. 11 months ago i wrote a story that called out trump's baldly racist xenophobia and he sent me a note, quote, jonathan, you are the racist. not i. get rid of your hate. best wishes, donald trump. well, trump is vowing to fight on against the trump university lawsuit he is finding himself increasingly alone in defending his attacks on the federal judge especially among republicans. senator and trump critic ben sasse tweeted public service announcement saying someone can't the a specific job because of his or her race is the literal definition of racism. senator lindsey graham said this is the most un-american thing from a politician since joe mccarthy. in anyone was looking for an off ramp this is probably it. there will come a time when the love of country will trump

hatred of hillary. others weighed in. >> look, of course it's inappropriate to be attacking a federal judge's race or ethnicity. you have to ask donald to explain the things he says he does. i'm not going to do. so. >> look, i continue to have strong disagreements with. and i'm disturbed by the way he keeps referring to this judge, an american, born in indiana, who he continues to raise issues about. i hope he'll stop doing that. but that's what the voters -- that's the choice that the voters have given us and we'll see what happens. tropical storm colin made land fall late last night. it's expected to dump ten inches of rain in florida and georgia today. state of emergency was issued for 34 counties in florida.

it caused some flooding and it clocked winds around 50 miles per hour. meteorologist bill karins will have much more on the developing storm in just a little bit. now let's turn to business where federal reserve chair janet yellin struck a positive note on the economy, warning that investors shouldn't overreact to the disappointing jobs report. cnbc's louisbo back track on the hard work that the fed has done in giving the markets the potential rate. the markets are readings, they have pulled way back after that disappointing reading we were talking about on friday. but as you say, yellin's comments yesterday underscore not putting too much weight on just the reading of this one jobs report. she is basically saying that it is disappointing, but don't put too much significance into the payroll's data in isolation. you have to look at all of the

data together and she's still keeping an open door to the possibility of a fed rate hike. now when you look at the money market futures themselves, before the payrolls were in the 60% of a rate hike by july, a 30% before yellin's comments and now we're looking at a 20% chance by july again. by next month after these comments came through. so we're moving with yellin at the moment. >> louisa bojesen, i promise to get your name right one of these days. live from london, thank you. turning to sad news this morning for one of america's best known civil rights families. helen chavez, the widow of cesar chavez who founded the american form workers association has passed away at 88. she kept the books in the union and served as the activist alongside her husband. known to shy away from the spotlight she spoke publicly about justice for farm workers

>> his formal sentencing is scheduled for august 10th. the mother of the 3-year-old boy who fell into the gorilla exhibit at the cincinnati zoo a week and half ago won't face federal charges. the boy climbed over a barrier and fell 15 feet into the exhibit and zoo workers shot and killed the gorilla out of fear for the child's life. and an ohio prosecutor announced yesterday that the investigation revealed that the mother was not negligent. >> if anyone doesn't believe a 3-year-old can scamper off very quickly, they have never had kids. because they can. and they do. >> after being closed since the incident the zoo plans to reopen the gorilla exhibit today with a more secure public barrier. still ahead on "way too early" the creators of hbo's fictional comedy veep has given one an all too real website.

the judge belongs to a group called san diego lawyer's association which does advocacy work on behalf of latinos. it's not associated with the radical group, but confusion is understandable. because of that, mr. trump apparently believes the judge may be biassed against him as it is well known the candidate has taken a strong stand against illegal immigration. the trump u
