take that -- >> i'm not wearing tapered pants. >> let's just stop. that does it for us. thanks for joining us. thank you. >> why does he do that? oh, god. why does donnie kiss me? >> hoping everybody has a great weekend. we'll see you back here on tuesday. >> stephanie picks up the coverage right now. good morning. breaking this morning attorney general loretta lynch defers to the investigation over hillary clinton e-mails. /s i think people should be

more aware. >> we have rare access. plus the short list reporting on who donald trump is vetting to be his v.p. and who is moving up the list of possible contenders. all right. we have got to begin today with this controversy surrounding loretta lynch and clinton meeting earlier this weechlkt she is expected to announce she will not over dchs ride any decisions made in the e-mail investigation. let's bring in an old friend of mine, hans nicoles. >> she will not overrule what the career prosecutors and the fbi says. i was just speaking to a

democratic official and really the significance of this decision by loretta lynch by where they are in the investigation. if it concludes on tuesday it will end up looking a lot worse. if it ends up concluding in the dog days of summer i expect that the significance the echo won't be as strong and we should note no one here inside the white house, at least officially, has an idea of where they are in the investigation. it is still locked up in the department of justice. >> she had already expressed she was always going to be deferring to the fbi. why does it sound like this is new following phoenix? >> well, actions are forcing this. yes, she telegraphed it. maybe that she will adopt this position has been accelerated by that tarmac there in phoenix.

look, they are bolstered by the fact here you take a look here and it's clear that she is hinting and she is moving in that direction. so, yes, she is being forced by events. >> all right. great to see you, my brother. hans is outside the whouchlite . aaa says 43 million americans are expected to travel this week. more than 3 million will be flying in the wake of this week's terror attack in turkey. air travelers are seeing beefed up cusecurity. >> the american public should expect to see enhanced security presence in train stations and other transit centers across the country by tsa and state and local law enforcement as well as security personnel. >> let's go to peter alexander

flying in a helicopter above the new york city area. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. no less than jeh johnson saying they should expect to see more security heading into this 4th of july holiday weekend. this is the new jersey turnpike 95. it takes you from miami to main. we have been traveling above the george washington bridge. they have yet to give specifics but there will be more than 2 million people going in and out of the bridges and through the tunnels. adding high visibility patrols as well. the priority for law enforcement to be seen and to keep you safe. in new york city this morning an effort ahead of july 4th. the nypd unit armed with

military grade assault rifles. the counter terrorism team will have a presence, a striking show of force. after recent terror attacks in orlando and istanbul major cities across the country taking no chances. >> i don't think people should be afraid today but people should be more aware. today police in all major cities say they are prepared for any scenario. federal authorities tell us right now there's no intelligence that suggests any attack is imminent. >> thank you, peter alexander. we get a look at the tsa during the time of heightened alert. now, we have got to move onto this terror investigation surrounding turkey. police today rounded up 11 more people into the probe of the attack. it follows a series of raids and detentions on thursday.

the turkish presidency says it was a russian citizen. >> we are live in denver, colorado. let's talk about where you are in this battle with the rockies. >> reporter: yeah. he is back here. it is not a state that has shown him much love. he lost all of the delegates during the state convention. the state gop senator has come out and mocked him saying if he can't figure out a convention how are you going to defeat isis? this is ground zero for the free delegate. they are trying to overtake mhi. donald trump is here, not on friendly territory, but trying

to make peace with this state. >> is colorado a lost cause? >> reporter: it's not necessarily a lost cause. right now he is neck and neck with hillary clinton. she is outpespending him on tv advertising in this state. hillary clinton lost to sanders in this state. there is some vulnerabilities for her. the biggest problem he has is the latino population. it is one of the largest in the country. a number of liberals will be building a wall, if you will, to keep trump out of denver. >> it can't help the controversies that have bubbled up yet again. it is new around mexico and muslims, take a look at this. >> mexico and i respect mexico and their leaders, what they have done to us is incredible. their leaders are so much larger

and so much sharper. it could be a mexican plan up there. they are getting ready to attack. >> why aren't we putting our reti retirees there. get rid of all of these heebeejabees there. >> what do we make of this? >> donald trump isn't correcting a question or setting them right. he got in trouble for the same sort of thing in new hampshire. people were comparing him to john mccain. that person said that president obama was a muslim. donald trump didn't do thacht. he is facing heat again. it is the same sort of controversy we see over and over again. >> it will be an exciting day for him in colorado. thank you. we are also learning brand new details about who donald trump could potentially pick as

his campaign begins. i want to go live to kelly for the details. looks like maybe a little gingrich, chris christie. >> it looks to be a moment in time. trump is considering two sitting governors and a former speaker of the house. with gingrich we learned because of his strong credentials that part of the republican party and because he knows every inch of capitol hill. it is an essential part of what he wants, someone who could work to fill in a gap trump doesn't have. with gingrich comes some of the volatilities of his tenure as house speaker. strong credentials in the republican party is a plus. not being able to control gingrich is a negative. when you look at the two sitting

governors, chris christie brings the loyalty and political skills and debate skills. he doesn't really give a difference with donald trump, two northeasterners. he is the indiana governor, social conservatives but he is in a tough reelection bid. there are strong indications i'm being told in the last six to eight weeks his star has been rising. the governor is saying he hasn't spoken to donald trump it could change. >> thanks. well, we may learn today how many people have been killed in military and c.i.a. drone strielks in pakistan and president obama expected to announce the numbers as well as an executive order.

congress will take a top gun reform bill next week after returning from the holiday. the legislation has not been announced yet but it is expected to aim at suspected terrorists from buying guns. this follows last month's 26-hour sit-in. federal authorities investigating a deadly crash using the auto pilot system. they couldn't tell the difference between a white tractor trailer. it didn't break and crashed into a truck. it is the first deadly crash involving the auto pilot system. lynch removes herself, a foreman assistant attorney will join me for an insider's perspective on this controversy. as americans take off for the holiday weekend our own team goes behind the scenes of the

to recuse herself after having a sit-down with bill clinton? >> no. the optics are bad. she should not have had the meeting. bill clinton shouldn't have put her in that position. it was a bad stunt. >> it was a bad stunt. >> yeah, it was. >> loretta lynch and the former president of the united states knocks on the door. what is she supposed to do? >> aren't we always saying we want officials to stand up and be honest and state what they are doing? she would say we should chat but not one on one. i'm sure you would agree it isn't going to help us or anyone

else. >> because she didn't do that one would make the argument she should recuse herself zblichlt feel her honesty are not in question and her critics are not doing that. the same the true for comey. he understands what the attorney general has to think about and he understands what her discretion is about. as a matter of precedent you don't want to have the optics or aheadline to make you decide what you will do under your duty. the day comes that they tell us how to decide cases you have to quit. she should not let that p thaha. we aren't allowed to look like anything but she has got to do her job and she should be part of the from seprocess.

>> wasn't she deferring to them all along. >> the word deferral is a little confusing. >> what does deferral mean? >> exactly. what does it mean? it is a matter of law. that means that she has the exercise her opinion. she can say i'm going to exercise it or not at all or i'm going to influence. she is saying i know they are doing a good job and i expect they are with someone like comey? charge. s comey in charge. if you don't do this -- i mean think about it a minute. the head of the fbi will potentially decide who is president of the united states. do you really want to do that?

>> no. >> that is where we are headed. that's the president. he'll decide it all. >> that's where we are headed. >> i think she shouldn't recuse herself. i don't think she will recuse herself. >> and as a lawyer who uses his words carefully you'll stand behind saying what bill clinton did was a stunt? >> what do you think? >> i am here to ask the questions. >> i think it was a stunt that he saw something. he said i know her. i appointed her. i said hey, there you are in the tarmac. at that point either he or his staff has to say mr. president this is really a big mistake. by the way, we don't know who was in this meeting. we know there was a private meeting. was there someone else who sat in? wouldn't the press want to ask

that question? >> i would like to ask that question. president clinton, i would love to know who was on the plane. thanks for joining me this morning. stay with us here on msnbc. loretta lynch expected to speak about this today. we'll live stream her remarks. guess what? it's the 4th of july. millions of people will be flying over this holiday weekend. we'll go behind the scenes for a rare look at how they keep people flying safe. hey pal? you ready? can you pick me up at 6:30? ah...

>> reporter: good morning. the familiar blue-shirted officers we encounter at the security check point. what do they find lurking in our bags? i got a look. take a look at this. >> so this is our operation center. it is manned 24 hours, 365. each is tied to an operational component to manage the screening operation or actual security incident should it occur. >> reporter: i can't help but notice an arsenal on the table over here. what are we looking at? >> these are things people have brought through the check point in the last few weeks. >> this is the last few weeks? >> actually the last few days. >> reporter: so if you get caught with a knife like this are you refer today law

enforcement? >> yes. we will. we may issue them a fine and that comes with the regulatory side of it. the other piece of it, when we see something like this we get law enforcement involved. >> reporter: and if most of these things were people forgot they had something on them there is still a message here, what's the message you have with this table to people who have intent? >> basically we are going to find it. we do a very good job. we have over 20 layers of security in place. each of those work together closely and tight lichlt ly. it works together here. >> walk me through this one more time. guns, knives, brass knuckles, when i breathe through a water bottle i'm a full stress heart attack. i can't believe this. >> i know. i thought the last few weeks of airports at the orlando

international airport, that was only the last few days. they told me, look, we try to balance convenience and customer service against security but the very worst kind of customer service would be letting a bomb or some other threat onto an airplane. true enough, give them a little bit of credit. they are doing their best. as you can see, they find a lot of stuff. zb >> i don't even let my kids bring g.i. joe action figures with weapons. as people repair for holiday travel storms can cause major headaches along the east coast. i won't allow that. i'm headed to the jersey shower. if you're headed my way -- >> there could be another one there too. this cold front will spark strong storms. it may be one of the bigger outbreaks.

welcome back to msnbc. everything you need to know to start your day with morning primer. this essentially removes her from the decision after the political fallout from the private conversation she had with bill clinton. the death toll has risen to 44 in turkey as more victims to their wounds. police have arrested 11 more people in connection with the attack. an eight-year-old boy found unresponsible in the anthem of the seas cruise ship. the boy is in critical condition

got out last night. so far from d.c. or south of baltimore it has been all clear. 36 million people expected to hit the road for the 4th of july. it will be the busiest 4th of july on record. gas prices are the lowest since 2005. our gps says we are about 230ho to new york. if it continues like that i might have to buy a lotto ticket. people want to get out to the beach and go to the jersey shore. >> i'm guessing your going to--e >> >> reporter: we are heading towards new york, heading to 95 to try to gauge the traffic on the main stretch. it goes from miami to main. we are going to see how bad the traffic is. so far it's smooth sailing.

>> i'm pretty sure delaware is also north of maryland. >> reporter: it is but that goes off to the side. you have to go off to the side. we are going straight up. >> all right. travel safe. have a good day. no traffic. you should be listening to music, telling stories. have a great weekend. luke russert hitting the roads. a hard time raising money for donald trump. it might go to repaying the money he gave to his campaign. we'll have more when we come back.

barack. he joins me now. welcome. let's walk through sort of the money side of all of the fundraising for donald trump. you said last month we were going to get $32 million in the door. it seems it is only 2 million. why is that? >> yeah, first of all there is a big difference between campaign finance and republican national committee and donald's campaign. most of those ads are negative ads. neither hillary clinton who doesn't need anymore negative ratings -- >> so are donald's.

>> equally, right? two-time state senator, secretary of state, wife of a president, tremendously qualified. if you want status quo and eight more years of what we have had she is probably a terrific pick. if you want disruption or something other than that it's about an option then donald ends up being the option. it's a little bit like taking on intercontinental. it is now much more insignificant. so looking at donald's campaign financing, he gets more free tv time than any individual in history. >> but it was having so much less money than barack obama that hurt mitt romney.

when you thought you were going to get $32 million in the door did it end up being 2 million and if that's the case, why? >> i don't run the super pack, by the way. i help. contributors have a difficult time. they want to know to whom am i investing and what is it used for. they can only take small donations. super packs are a war of their own. i don't know what the super packs are doing. what i can tell you is it's relatively insignificant. no body saw -- we had this conversation six months ago. no body could ever invision that donald trump could be a nominee. >> but here we are and donald trump has done things in the

last few weeks that have business leaders who could support him in a big way scratching their head, mexicans, muslims, women. you're one of his closest confidants. why does he continue to do this? >> when we talk about globalization versus a nation state, the inequality and political difference across the world is what's evidence. people are angry, they are upset. after 2008 there has been restitution but it went to the upper 1% of income earners. >> people voted for brexit but it was change with no solution. >> if you'll give me two minutes i'll tell you how he solve it. when he talks about mexico and islam he is right. the mexicans are our greatest ally. if you look at north america it is protected by seas.

so canada, the united states and mexico, which are two of our three biggest trading partners are the greatest impact. if you're talking about mexicans and you say how do you feel about immigration? they are equally frustrated. the illegal imkbrants thmigrant side ship back cash and arms to their country and the central american, the cast of central america is focusing across that border. so the reandlignment, all that' happening is donald is a business businessman. all of these were mostly negotiated by generals. trade agreements or foreign policy, it's not really employment. this is the problem with the average guy. somebody sitting and working for carrier said i don't understand globalization. it can be very misunderstood.

you can have globalization heaven which is a swiss baker, italian clothes and german cars. if you get a little bit wrong you're in a big mess. you end up with an italian ba banker, german cloets and english cars. the carrier employee who is out of a job saying well, the committee has benefitted because those air conditioners are being made cheaper in mexico. he could careless about what happened at the globalization. he is saying bring back the nation state first. if i own a hotel company and i'm not worried about the people in my office that have a smile on their face they are not going to worry about the guests in that hotel. it's exactly the same thing. the same thing with islam.

i spend half of my time in the middle east. i'm an arab american. i'm a christian but i grew up there. most of those countries are allies, our greatest allies. they are all saying give us some direct u.s. foreign policy and help us with fundamentalism. what have we done? we interfere with everything, iraq, iran, have we been right of any of them? none of them. >> all right. tom barrack, thank you for joining us. we have more behind the turkey airport attack, a live report next. our brain, which controls your thumbs, which control this joystick. no, i'm actually over at the ge booth. we're creating the operating system for industry. it's called predix. it's gonna change the way the world works. ok, i'm telling my brain to tell the drone

we are taking you to turkey. i want to get the latest from

istanbul. matt bradley is there. what have you learned? >> reporter: well, they just released the name of the mastermind behind tuesday's attack. this is acmed. no one knows where he is but he does have quite a strong sign. he only has one arm. his name is akmed one arm. the fact that he is russian and leading a group of three people from central asian is a very new development. central asian and russian nationals have never really been used or rarely been used to launch attacked beyond the

self-declared kal fate. it could signal that an islamic state is tapping into a new reservoir of foreign fighters and deploying them to positions beyond their borders. a lot of people can pass through borders. >> if he was the mastermind he was not one of the three bombers who were they? >> reporter: we don't know much about the arrests. we know like some of the previous arrests that they were actually connected with this bombing. we have to remember as turkey goes through they are really operating something of a dragnet. they are a group that has a very strong presence throughout this country because of the 500-mile long border with syria and 200-mile long border with iraq.

they use turkey as a staging ground for moving in and out of the country. that's one of the reasons why they just announced very, very g and emotional speech following the friday prayers today that he was going to make ten victims out of every turkish martyr that came out of this. so what we are seeing is a new and determined resolve from turkish officials to take on islamic state. >> thank you, matt bradley. joining us with an update from istanbul. a judge is granting convicted murderer adnan sigan a new trial. could a podcast be responsible for setting an inmate free? that's next. let's feed him to the sharks! squuuuack, let's feed him to the sharks! yay! and take all of his gold! and take all of his gold! ya! and hide it from the crew! ya...? squuuuack, they're all morons anyway! i never said that. they all smell bad too. no! you all smell wonderful!

i smell bad! if you're a parrot, you repeat things. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. squuuuack, it's what you do. ugh. heartburn.g ] sorry ma'am. no burning here. try new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmmm. incredible. looks tasty. you don't have heartburn. new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. enjoy the relief. are those made with all-beef, karen? yeah, they're hebrew national. but unlike yours, they're also kosher. kosher? yeah, they're really choosy about what goes in. so, only certain cuts of kosher beef meet their strict standards and then they pick the best from that. oh man! what'd we do? they're all ruined.

mother in-law with a glad bag, full of trash. what happens next? nothing. only glad has febreze to neutralize odors for 5 days. guaranteed. even the most perceptive noses won't notice the trash. be happy. it's glad. his story captivated the nation. now a judge is granting a convicted murderer a new trial. sayyid was sentenced to life in prison for the 1999 murder of

his ex-girlfriend but questions were raised about his guilt and whether he received a fair trial. a dear family friend who brought his story to the attention of journalists who created the serial podcast joins us. welcome. what a day this is for you. have you spoken to him since he found out he would be getting a new trial? >> we spoke the day before the ruling came out and that was on wednesday. right now, he only has every other day phone privileges so he should be calling us today. nobody's actually spoken to him yet. >> this has been a 15-year battle for you. when you began, did you ever think this day would come? >> wem, it's been 17 years. we are counting every day. i think, yeah, we did. i had hope this would happen. i didn't know it would take this long and having taken this long, it is a little bit surreal that we have kind of arrived at the point we have been hoping for.

>> so even though he is getting a new trial, there are many skeptics still out there who don't see this as clearly as you do. are you absolutely confident that he will be freed? >> i mean, the skeptics are free to believe what they want but i can tell you the innocence project, every lawyer who ever touched the case, every investigator who looked at it and now, the court itself, which has vacated the conviction, by the way. you started out by saying convicted killer. he is no longer convicted. he is now an innocent man. so there are so many people whose hands this case has passed through who believe he's innocent. >> walk us through it. where did things go wrong in terms of the trial? >> a lot of it went wrong in the investigation itself when the police focusing on him exclusively, they began focusing on him and i documented all of this in the book, they focused on him even before it was discovered that heyman had been actually killed. they basically started creating a case around him where he really was hurt the most was

that his defense attorney was completely compromised at the time of his trial. she was very sick, she was almost incoherent by the end of the trial, she was not able to give him the defense he deserved. she didn't even do simple things like check out an alibi witness. >> how has he changed over the last 17 years? >> adnan has always been, his nature has always been the same which is why so many people stood by him. that's that he has always been a very gentle, kind, generous spirit person and he's still like that. he really hasn't changed that much. he has never had a violent or difficult temperament before he was arrested and he's had a clean record for 17 years. he's never even had a verbal fight with anybody. >> walk me through the last 17 years for his family and you, as i said earlier, you are a family friend but this appears to be your life's work. >> you know, for the family and me, i think we really felt like we hit a wall up until the post-conviction hearing a few years ago. that's when i reached out to sarah and she brought new life back into the case. we really, when we were denied

the post-conviction by the same judge who just granted him a new trial, we felt that we were at the end of the road and were starting to get resigned he would live and die in prison. >> i got to ask before we go, why serial? how did this happen? how did you know to call them? >> i didn't know. i just was looking for a journalist who would be interested in taking a look at his case, and she was the first name i came across. she had done some work, she had covered some of his attorney's stuff before and she didn't even know she was doing a podcast. it happened and nobody expected the success that it got. >> well, congratulations. thank you for joining us this morning. we have to turn now to the olympics. look at this video. these images, that's swimmer missy franken moments after she qualified for her second olympics. she finished second last night in the women's 200 meter freestyle.

beautiful, beautiful. gosh. swimming is a solemn sport. we have to talk apple now. looking to potentially acquire jay z's music streaming service title. this would beef up apple music bringing on artists like kanye west and beyonce who exclusively release their content there. beyonce married to jay z, kanye on the rock nation label. it comes at a time when apple aims to invest more in its music platform including a new design. there's also tough news to swallow today. my husband's been all over me about this one and you know what? i got to tell you i'm pretty bummed. do not eat raw cookie dough. it's official now. or even lick the spoon from the cake batter. the fda says it can make you really, really sick. it's not just your mom telling you. the warning comes after a recent e. coli outbreak linked to uncooked flour. greens harvested from flour come directly from the field where contamination by farm animal waste is likely.

bottom line, no raw cookie dough or batter of any kind. that might change all children's interest in baking. better find a new act tiivity to with your kids on a weekend. that wraps us up for the hour. have a great fourth of july weekend. coming up, more news with thomas roberts. hi, everybody. i'm thomas roberts. we begin with breaking news in the political world. we are awaiting this announcement in the investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails via a private server during her tenure as secretary of state. now, in just about an hour, the attorney general loretta lynch is expected to announce plans to accept the recommendations of career justice department prosecutors in this case. now, it comes four days after that impromptu 30-minute tarmac meeting between lynch and former president bill clinton at a phoenix airport. lynch described it as a chance encounter, where they talked about golf and grandchildren.

>> there was no discussion of any matter pending before the department or any matter pending before any other body, there was no discussion of benghazi, no discussion of the state department e-mails by way of example. >> so social or not, the optics are creating this political uproar causing some democrats to cringe and republicans to cry foul over it. want to start with justice correspondent pete williams. pete, is this a departure from what loretta lynch has previously said? >> well, the justice department says no, thomas. they say that she's been broadly hinting that this is the step she was going to take just as recently as a couple of weeks ago when she appeared on all the sunday morning programs, including "meet the press." she said she would be guided by i don't think those were exact words, but she said this would go through the career justice department prosecutor. she was responding to the question of whether she would recuse herself and she said she wouldn't discuss
