we're excited to talk to them. i've got literally 55 questions. >> yeah. baby josiah looks great. wow, mom is my hero. >> it was remarkable. >> we'll have more on that ahead. our top story this morning is the nasty weather from coast to coast. it's extreme heat here in the east. flooding rains out west. what is the the latest for everyone? >> there are two more days of rain in the southwest. in phoenix we saw wild storms that moved through producing a rapid amount of rain that lead to the flash flooding. it swept away cars and homes. look at that about to crash into the bridge there. we saw this type of situation because the monsoonal moisture is in place and we're pumping in extra moisture from a remnants of a tropical system over the pacific pacific. in california we saw crazy thunderstorms that closed the beach. santa monica pier saw wild light thing. they triggered the chance of fires to spread, you know when you have a lot of lightning but

not that much rain the condition are dry. in los angeles we picked up .83 inches of rain. it is a record for the entire month of july. we have a chance of more rain and thunderstorms in the next two days in california and the desert southwest. we have an area of high pressure. we're looking at a lot of heat but it's becoming more and more expansive. boston has yet to 90 degree yet this morning. we should hit it today. temperatures not only will be in the 90s but it will feel like closer to 100 degrees because of the humidity. but i want to point out four days ago the final bit of snow up in boston in that giant snow paul finally melted away. >> only four days ago? >> just now, yeah. >> i don't want to think about it. we'll get more from you on the rest of the country in a few minutes. donald trump feeling the heat this morning. a day after he claimed senator john mccain is not a war hero.

we get more from kelly o'donnell o'donnell. >> donald trump brags about his no filter style of campaigning. but saturday trump crossed a sacred line when he attacked john mccain's military service as a prisoner of war in vietnam. >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured. >> trump is not shy about hurling insults frequently going after jeb bush. >> you look at jeb he's dieing in the polls. he doesn't like my tone. the last thing we need is another bush. >> military service is different. trump skorned from his republican competitors. governor scott walker we should never ever question patriotism and the heroism of someone like john mccain. >> governor bobby jindal. >> i think after donald trump has been prisoner of war six years, then he's in a position to comment on and criticize the senator. >> and senator lindsey graham. >> i think what he's done is

insulted everyone who served in the military today. >> trump, who did not serve in the military tried some damage control. >> i have great love and respect for our veterans and we've got to take care of our veterans. >> trump said that mccain had insulted him and his supporters first by criticizing his stand against illegal immigration. trump has refused to apologize. kelly o'donnell nbc news ames iowa. chuck todd is "moderator of meet the press." the new york post not surprised here. wasting no time. this is their cover. we know trump doesn't follow a traditional narrative. as much as there's talk it's toast and a fatal blow for the campaign does donald trump really care or does he keep going? >> i think the history of trump is he doesn't care. he'll keep going whatever it means. what we saw yesterday and learned is that the republican party has been desperate for the

moment. the republican candidates not named donald trump have been looking for a moment to do what they did yesterday which is find an easy way to marginalize him. and when they saw him attack mccain his military service, that became an easy thing to pounce on. there wasn't a fear of alienating his conservative supporters. this is a universal thing when it comes to military service. i think it's the beginning of the end of the marriage between donald trump and the republican party. does it mean the end of the trump running for president? no. i think there's a huge push collectively to get him out of the party. >> as the party continues to distance himself. if he decide to run as a third party, does he continue to inflict a little bit of pain on the republican party? >> he could inflict a lot of pain on the republican party. the people he's drawing from right now who are -- the group of voter that are supporting donald trump, i've talked to some of them has nothing to do

with donald trump and his kpe competence or incompetence. it's about protesting washington, d.c. and the establishment of the republican party. he could continue to be a viable protest vehicle for voters sort of fed up with washington politics and that would hurt any republican nominee. the question is is he -- does he so focus that he would do in his hard work to run as an independent to get on the ballots. one thing about trump he likes to take shortcuts. that's why i don't think he would follow through with the full fledged third party candidacy. >> we'll be watching chuck. thanks. and chuck, we'll see more of you later today on "meet the press." the investigation into the tennessee shooting that left five military members dead. according to the new york times the gunmen sent a text message to the friend before the shooting. it may give some clues to the motivation of the attack.

his family is speaking out for the first time. miguel almaguer is there. >> it reads in parking lot i have to declared war against him. this as we know a fifth service-member has died here and the family of the gunman is reaching out. overnight for the first time the gunman mohamed abdullah's family released a statement. there's are no words to describe our shock, horror and grief. for many years our son suffered from depression. we're also learning more about a troubling period in his home life. in 2009, his mother filed her divorce saying she was repeatedly beaten by the gunman's father and her children were occasionally struck and

berated. it was unclear whether he disputed the allegation but the couple remained married. the gunman's life under the microscope. they're looking at electronic records, cell phone records, credit card receipts travel documentation, they're interviewing his coworkers family friends, neighbors. >> this weekend the fifth victim 26-year-old navy petty officer randall smith died from three gunshot wounds. he leaves behind his young wife angie and their three small children. >> when i came here i knelt down and cried because it is so overwhelming. >> soon there will be services for the four marines killed thursday. staff sergeant david wyatt deployed three times to iraq and afghanistan was an eagle scout before he became a marine. his father told us when gunfire broke out the family man helped strangers get to safety but was killed when he returned to help

is cape the bloodshed. >> he served in the marine corps.. he was proud of his calling and loved his family. >> today there is still no motive only pain here. the community turning to their faith and each other. >> we need to come together as a nation. we're united. >> with many worried that unarmed military officials will continue to be targets that work in facilities like this one, governors in several states issued declarations late yesterday ordering their national guard members who work in facilities like the one here to be armed when on duty. carson. >> that's a tragic story. thank you. turning now to more embarrassing revelations about bill cosby. the new york times uncovered the full deposition of cosby talking about his sex life and how he lured young women using his wealth and fame. kristinen dahlgren is here. >> good morning. this is the same deposition we

heard just a small part of earlier this month. now the entire deposition some thousand pages is out there full of salacious details as cosby speaks openly about sex and drugs. >> they are bill cosby's own words describing a string of sexual encounters in rapid detail. claiming he mentored young women using his fame and promising career advice adds part of his frequent seduction. the document stemmed from a 2005 case in which cosby was sued by a woman who claimed the comedian drugged and sexually assaulted her. in the full deposition obtained by "new york times" cosby claimed he and his accuser, quote, were playing sex or playing petting. cosby also suggested he understood nonverbal signals from when a woman consents. she does not say to me "don't ever do that again" she doesn't walk out with a attitude of a huff because i think that i'm a

pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things. the deposition revealed details from other relationships including an exchange with a woman's whose father died of cancer. cosby admits using that information to get close to her. the accuser's attorney requestsasking the questions. there's been much speculation about how much cosby's wife camille really knows, the times said cosby blocks a damageing magazine article and sending money to one woman through his agent so his wife wouldn't find out. for accusations for drugging women he said benadryl was the only medicine he gave the accuser. he's open about obtaining seven prescriptions for quaaludes. he gave them to people the same as a person would say have a drink.

when asked whether one woman was in a position to consent to sex he answered "i don't know." now charges have been filed against cosby in connection with any of the allegations. he is continually denied he's a sexual predator. there's been no comment from cosby's publicist on his latest "new york times" report. >> no comment from the publicist but has a lot of people talking. >> let's check with sheinelle now. >> it's so sad. in southern california county sheriff's officers are being held as heros for a rescue of a baby who was reported kidnapped. 13-month-old penelope roaddriguez was taken from her mother. the little girl was found un unharmed. deputies are holding a 38-year-old man and teen boy in connection with the case. the search is underway for a man wanted for questioning in the murder of five people in a northern california home.

>> they're popular everywhere from the basketball court to the board room. sheinelle has more on the sneaker culture. >> sneakers are taking center stage in the most unlikely of settings. how about in cases of locked glass like fine art? moe how about sneakers at the brooklyn museum? >> we have our mone's here. they intersect with so many parts of cultural history and material culture. exhibition is exploring that. you love to look at sneakers but you can come if you want to learn the history ias well. >> when you think about the fact that sneakers worldwide are a billion dollar business. a lot of people aren't paying attention to the level of it should have been. i think the exhibition will cause people to pay attention. >> it made me pay attention. >> i didn't realize sneakers can have polka dots. >> they have the original

converse. i feel like i'm late to the party. can i still buy those sneakers. and of course air jordans. and in addition to the fashion, the exhibit also points to key moments in history. >> this particular shoe right here jesse owens won in the 1936 olympics. wearing a german brand adidas in the midst of the height of nazi germany. sneakers were part of the moment. sneaker heads as they call themselves can be proud of what they know. a sneaker can be so much more than just a shoe. >> what is the most you've heard of somebody paying for a shoe? to collect? >> about $17,000. they're not just things you put on to kick around in. people collect art, people collect cars. sneakers is no different. >> $17,000. hey.

the sneaker cultural exhibit travels to the museums in toledo louisville and georgia this year and next year. i think i'm cool then i'm reminded i'm not. >> i have a lot of sneaker head friends that will go to that and probably contribute to the sneaker museum. i mean for our generation. for guys collecting sneakers is a big deal. >> i wear sneakers until they run out of a sole. >> you don't get creases in them. they clean them with toothbrushes. they buy two pairs. >> some don't wear them. they just collect them. >> that's right. i sense another field trip. up next harry smith is buying a used car can be a scary proposition. you walk onto that lot and immediately you are surrounded like a guppy in a shark tank. it just feels like car salesmen want to sell whatever car is best for them, not best for me.

this morning on "sundays with harry" pluto up close and personal. pluto was degraded from a planet to something less. thankfully harry smith is here to explain it. >> mr. science. there's no question the pictures we've seen this week have been cool very cool. icy mountains, right. while we contemplate the science, here is a little history. it's been great to be able to get a close up look at pluto. kind of hard to imagine sending a spacecraft out into the solar system nine years ago and a couple of billion miles later the thing finally gets close to its destination. [ cheers and applause ] so yes, it is absolutely a cool science thing. no small accomplishment and all that, but what of this? we used to say was the last

planet of our solar system. too small, not in the right orbit, what gives? >> it revolves around the same sun, while it does that it crosses the orbit of up inneptune for 40 years. if you're a planet, you should not be crossing other people's orbits. pluto got off to a bad start. it was supposed the name of the god of the underworld. over the centuries people began to confuse pluto with the god of wealth. depending upon your perspective is not a bad thing. walt disney named mickey's side kick pluto if he was evil at heart? of course not. disney's pluto was out there. which pretty muches describe with the planet is. i'm feeling sorry for it. pluto never really had a chance. we gave it an identity crisis

when we named it. we shouldn't be surprised then when it turns out not to be what we thought. >> what i love most about this because engineers figure these things out. one of the things they figured out was in the times this morning. if we can launch by 2006 we'll shoot it toward jupiter and make a hard left it gets there four years faster. because people figure that stuff out. that's why we should celebrate. >> there's ways to figure it out. >> take a left. >> yeah. a quick birthday tomorrow. happy birthday erica hill! >> thanks guys! this is a nice surprise! >> happy birthday to you. >> keep your cupcakes out of my cupcake's orbit, okay? that's very sweet! finally 30. >> right. and i don't look a day over 25.

the guy with the hoodie i mentioned come running out of the house. two minutes later as he ran, the whole building -- boom. a huge explosion. >> authorities are investigating a suspected case of arson in south philadelphia after a building under construction goes up in flames. we'll have a live report from the neighborhood where more than a dozen residents are out of their homes this morning. hundreds of cyclists have already begun the 65-mile trek known as the tour de shore from philadelphia to the boardwalk in atlantic city. today's excessive heat could factor into their big finish. anybody who's exercising outside today should take it easy.
