no. i love you, babe. what was happening was the deadliest mass shooting in u.s. history. authorities say salmen was with mateen when he bout guns the day before. they were at a warmest and she was with their 3-year-old boy in the toy department. the owner of a florida gun store, lotus gun works say s he refused to sell body armor and ammunition to mateen weeks ago because he was acting strangely. the gun shop owner says he el e eluded authorities but law enforcement sources tell nbc news, they were not contacted. medium, mateen's troubled history continues to surface including school and employment records. as early as third grade, teac r teachers were concerned. one writes, omar is verbally abusive, rude, aggressive, much talk about sex and violence, obsceni obscenities. fifth grade, oppositional, lacks remorse. years later in high school, mateen was charged with battery for a fight with a syoutudent.

this letter mateen wrote explaining the incident was part of a job application with the florida department of corrections exclusively obtained by nbc news. it says the charges were dropped. mateen calls it an experience of me growing up and i learned a big lesson from it. as investigator business try and nail down mateen's motivation, president obama met with families thursday. >> i held and hugged grieving family members and parents and they asked why does this keep happening? >> the survivors are also paying tribute to first responders who saved them, like this man who hugged the officer that pulled him out of the club. >> he came in and had a smile on his face. it was just happiness. i'm so happy. i've been wanting to see the man that took me out of that horrible place. >> the source close to mateen's wife tells us police were here

at their condominium before the shooting was even over knocking on the door, telling mateen's wife to come out with her hands up. since then, she's been cooper e cooperating. a source tells us she's willing to take a polygraph but so far they haven't given her one. back to you. >> stephanie gosk, thank you. >> while president obama was down in orlando, back on capitol hill, republican senator, john mccain, stirring controversy y saying the president's actions led directly to the nightclub attack. hallie jackson has more on that. good morning. >> reporter: hi. good morning. democrats wasted no time going after senator mccain trying to link him to donald trump who will again be in texas, a state the presumptive republican nominee thinks the can win big with all signs not all republicans are rallying around him. >> people say, i'm not going to say who i'm voting for, don't be embarrassed. >> in dallas, donald trump insisting he's the gay community's best ally, even

after new protests against him. >> you tell me who's better for the gay community and who's better for women than donald trump? >> hillary clinton quickly responding tweeting simply, hi. trump rejecting critics who say he's unqualified on foreign policy. >> i haven't exactly been stu studying nato all my life but i have a thing called lots of common sense. >> democrats fight back trying to paint gop lawmakers as trump's puppet pointing to rhetoric like controversial comments from john mccain, effectively blaming president obama for the orlando shooting. >> barack obama is directly responsible for it because when he pulled everybody out of iraq, a al qaeda went to syria and became isis. >> it only took about an hour for him to walk it back. >> he bears responsibility. >> reporter: i want to be clear. >> you want to be clear, i'm not backtracking anything. >> reporter: mccain in a tough re-election of his own has said he will back his party's

candidate in november. but paul ryan said not all republicans have to support trump telling chuck todd they should vote their conscience. >> this is a very strange situation, this is a very unique nominee. i feel as a responsibility institutionally as the speaker of the house i should not be leading a chasm in the middle of the party. >> reporter: ryan with his own message to trump to party leaders. >> please be quiet, don't talk, please be quiet. republicans either stick together or let me do it by myself. >> you can't make this up sometimes. i will say we represent a separate but equal branch of government. >> now, trump's democratic rivalries look ready to heat up with bernie sanders saying overnight he plans to intensify his fight against the presumptive gop nominee. in the meantime, the fight here on capitol hill over gun control also looks ready to heat up, willie and savannah, with the senate set to take on a couple

amendments monday, none of them look likely to go anywhere. >> paul ryan and a lot of republicans tap dancing around donald trump right now. thank you. let's bring in chuck todd moderator of "meet the press." good morning. >> good morning. >> i just listened to your interview with paul ryan. you speak fluent washington. he calls trump a very unique nominee who puts republicans in a very strange situation. and he's saying his members can vote their conscience but he will be voting with the nominee. what do we make of this? >> look, he's acknowledging the obvious, right now, it looks like donald trump is not the most helpful nominee for republicans down the ticket. he knows that every republican is getting close to being every republican for themselves. at the end of the day, he made what he says is the best decision he could make as the elected leader in the house, not necessarily as congressman ryan but speaker ryan and understands every republican may have to

make the best decision that makes sense for their district or their state. look, it's -- you say it any which way without saying, i can't run with donald trump is essentially what he's says. >> wednesday night, donald trump says republicans criticizing him, please don't talk, be quiet. he says if i have to go it alone without the rnc or establishment, i'll be just fine. he was right about that in the prima primaries. is he right about that in the general. >> he's not. i understand why he wants them to stop talking. the more public the divide is, i think the tougher it is for trump to raise any money. right now, he is on a -- he's sort of cramming a little bit trying to raise as much money as he can by the fourth of july by the end of the month and why he's in georgia and texas and arizona rather than swing states because he's in big money communities like atlanta and dallas and phoenix. i'll tell you the money is not coming in very fast, that's the problem. the more you hear ryan and mcconnell and all these other senators wringing their hands

about trump, more donors are wringing their hands. >> and hillary, you think this is significant and has a major ad buy with commercials. why do you think this is an important time to be doing that. >> this is july, you have the summer break and summer holid holidays, the two conventions and olympics in august. this is like one of the important two or three week periods where the race is at the end of june is probably where the race will be on labor day. if you recall four years ago, barack obama unloaded on mitt romney before this convention and set a baseline and romney never really recovered and romney had money to fight back on television. hillary clinton's up all by herself. trump, the republicans, no one's countedering this. she will be up by herself for two weeks. there are negative ads on him and positives on her. it could make it he may be in a hole he can't dig out of.

>> trying to define trump now and lock it in. thanks so much. you can see his interview with house speaker, paul ryan, this sunday on "meet the press." another big story breaking this morning, dozens of u.s. diplomats are breaking ranks with the president calling for air strikes on the syrian government. richard engel is at istanbul this morning. good morning. this seems quite remarkable to have such an open break with the president from his own administration. >> reporter: i think it expresses the deep frustration that is even within the state department about the current u.s. policy in syria. don't forget 400,000 people have been killed in this five year conflict. there is a dissent channel in which state department employees can register their opposition. what's unusual, more than 50, mostly mid-level state department employees choose to use this dissent channel to say they want a different policy, want to see more military pressure put on the assad

government and then that dissent was leaked to the media. it is something of a revolution within the state department. whether it will change u.s. policy seems unlikely. the complaint is effectively this one, that the policy does not prevent assad and russia from killing civilians, thatles pressure is put on assad, this bloodshed will continue. savannah. >> all right, richard engel the latest from istanbul. thank you. back home, disney world now says it will now add more alligator signs at resorts and parks following the deadly attack. and we will hear from the parents. gabe gutierrez. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. disney world has said exactly when they will go up or installed. the medical examiner ruled the toddler died from drowning and his injuries after the father tried to desperately rescue him from the mouth of that alligator.

>> this morning, disney world says it will beef up its warning signs following the horrible death of 2-year-old lane graves. a prayer service in his nebraska hometown, saying words cannot describe the shock and grief, we are devastated. the last related injury was 30 years ago and paul santa maria still carries the scars. >> grabbed my leg and started to thrash me around side-to-side and tried to start pulling me backwards into the water. >> reporter: last year, david hayden from san diego said two alligators tried to chase his son at the resort. >> i'm not from florida and don't know there's alligators everywhere. >> reporter: there are signs warning beachers not to swim but not alligators. and others said not to feed the wildlife and only found one that mentioned alligators. in a written statement disney says we have closed all our beaches and have made a decision

to add signage and we are conducting a swift and thorough review of all our processes and propertocol protocols. she and her husband, patrick, live near the park and photographed plenty of gators there at the travel blogger. >> if there's water in florida, there's gator. >> reporter: they defend disney calling it an accident but clearly struck a nerve of parents across the country. >> the minutes that i couldn't find him, and that poor father, trying to pull that child out of that gator's mouth. >> reporter: the investigation into that child's death conti e continues. a local sheriff says the state wildlife officials have pulled a couple more alligators from the water but so far they have not determined which one grabbed the boy. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you very much. new numbers to report this morning on the zika virus and the number of women in this country who have given wirbirth babies with birth defects tied

to zika. good morning. >> good morning. still no cases of women being infected with the zika virus inside the continental united states, and then giving birth to babies with microsoft family. all the cases involved women who contracted zika while outside the united states. the latest numbers suggest three ba babies have been born in the usa with the dizika virus and cases lost due the abortion. and over 300,000 visitors diagnosed with zika, another 189 cases in u.s. territories, mostly puerto rico. now with summer heating up, zika could arrive on the u.s. mainland concerns. >> across the gulf and especially florida. >> reporter: expert michael ross says around your home, dump the standing water, all of it. >> birdbaths, flower pots,

buckets of water, those are the perfect breeding sites for these mosqui mosquitos. >> all of the experts advise wearing mosquito repellent, especially if you're pregnant or could become pregnant. savannah. >> one big question researchers and people at home have, how long is the incubation period? how long between the time you get zika and start showing symptoms? >> from time of exposure to symptoms, they brief it's 2 to 14 days. sexual partners of pregnant women living who have had the zika virus and engaged -- rather encouraged to -- let me say it again to get it right. sexual partners of those who have the zika virus or encour e encouraged to practice safe sex and wait at least six months before having unprotected sex. if you have a partner who may have been exposed to zika but there's no symptoms, wait eight weeks, they say. >> that's the tricky part. a lot of people don't have symptoms at all, tom, thank you. now to extreme heat blank

blanketing much of the country, temperatures climbing to triple digits and fire and power out e outages and that will only intensify in the next few days. janet chamblee is in oklahoma for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is one of the hotspots where temperatures are soaring. over the past 24 hours the number of calls to ambulances over heat related illnesses has spi spiked. we have to report it appears another child has died in a hot car incident. this time, it happened in texas. this morning, a 3-year-old is the latest hot car death, found in searing houston heat. police say the boy crawled into the back seat possibly to get a toy. the rear doors had the child safety lock engaged so he couldn't get out. >> it is a little kid, like the poster child for being the energizer bunny. it's not easy news. >> reporter: the season's first major heat wave has firefighters battling wildfires in arizona

and southern california. mandatory evacuations in new mexico as the wind picks up and the threat spreads. across the plains in the southwest, excessive heat warning is in effect, a huge drain on the power grid and the hottest temperatures some cities have seen in a decade. >> by this weekend, sunday, 118, 120 for next monday. this is dangerous heat. >> this morning, st. louis and memphis among those with power outages and no air-conditioning during this critical time. and in santa barbara, 11 closed for a second consecutive night. here in oklahoma city and cities in this region, it is going to feel like 110 degrees today or even hotter. guys, back to you. >> dangerous temperatures. thank you so much. >> dylan in for al.

it's scary. >> it's scary because it will last so long, perhaps the middle of next week. in the middle of the country, not only the heat but humidity as well which makes it so unb r unbearable to be outside. in the southwest, it is that dry heat but in southern california that helps spread the fires that are developing. we have 70 million people under some sort of heat alert right now and lasts through the next several days, excessive heat warnings and heat watches and also includes the coast of south carolina and georgia, too. look at our temperatures later on this afternoon. you put in the humidity, it will feel like 105 later on today. that will last several days. in the southwest, air temperatures up 112 in phoenix. el paso should hit 107. by the time we get to sunday, keep in mind the warmest it's ever been in phoenix is 1014 and the record could be 117.

nuisance alligators. last year, contracted alligators licensed by the state captured 713 nuisance gators and this is how they do it. it is a precarious business. one wrong step could be deadly. for three generations the register family has been tr trapping alligators in florida. the preferred method, a fishing rod and hook to snag a gator and drag it to shore. >> pay keep tension on it. >> on this night, a monster. a 13 footer. that's the death roll. >> let him roll on up. let him roll on up. >> this wild alligator, almost 1,000 pounds, so big the tr trapping team pulled it ashore with a pickup truck. now, the most dangerous part, climbing on its back, covering its eyes to calm it down. >> reporter: you're not scared? >> my heart is beating. i respect them. i don't know if scared is the

right word. definitely respect for these y guys. >> as the sun sets, alligators begin to stir. they're nocturnal animals that only need to eat once every three weeks to survive. >> what's it like out here? the humidity is 90%, mosquitos are swarming and there's a tremendous amount of tension. every splash and every movement on the water could be a gator. was that a gator? >> that was a bullfrog. >> sounds a lot like an ail gait ter -- alligator. >> this is the sound of an gailt tore broadcast to lure them to trappers and this is the mating season and why they may bachelor more aggressive and why they may have attacked at sunset killing 2-year-old lane graves from nebraska. there are no swimming signs but no signs warning of the gators. >> i think they should have s n signs everywhere. >> do you think it's irresponsible that they didn't

have signs? >> i don't think so. >> reporter: disney says it now plans to post alligator warning signs. on other parts of the property the signs say do not feed or go near the alligators. in the last two days, as many as seven gators have been capture on the lake where the toddler has been killed. bait lines with raw meat are set to see if there are any more. if you worked at disney would there be any way to control the alligator population to make it safe for people? >> no. i say no, because they're -- they're in the wild. >> reporter: it's estimated there are a million and a half alligators in florida, the population controlled by a yearly hunt. in this state, it's a smart idea to have a healthy respect for a lake, pond, river, even a ditch, because there could be a gator lu lurking. state statistics show since 1948, 23 people have been killed by alligators. sadly now, guys, 24. >> gator trapping, a dangerous

business. kerry sanders, thank you. >> dylan with weather, once again in for al today. >> yes. janet shamlian was talking about californians in california and we have conditions ripe for these fires to spread. these are called sundown winds and similar to santa ana winds and come down from the north and as they reach the mountains, they dry up. you have windy conditions in place although not as windy as yesterday we could still see gusts at 20 to 25 miles an hour and temperatures heating up as well, saturday, 86 degrees and sunday, along with gusty winds, temperatures up near 96 degrees. taking a look at the dangerous heat in the southwest, we're close to all time records. the hottest it's ever been in tucson, 117 degrees. we'll be close to that sunday with a forecast high of 116. phoenix, 122 the all time record and close to that on sunday with a high of 119 and possibly h

hitting 120. in las vegas, while it will be hot, i don't think we will break the all time record but we should be at 109 into sunday. across the country, a couple of spotty thundershowers across the southwest today and nothing severe expected, but, still, some thunderstorms will produce dangerous lightning and brief good mark. i'm meteorologist bill henley. grab your sunglasses. we'll see more an more sunshine today. and as the temperatures warm, the humidity will be dropping. 84 degrees in university city this afternoon. lansdale 83, look at easton and lehigh valley, 85 degrees. south jersey clouds will be thinning out. 79 degrees. and vineland low 80s. lingering showers at the shore will come to an end this morning. delaware, sunny skies and 83 in wilmington. have a great day. your latest forecast, willie and savannah.

>> all right, dylan. thank you. now to that new documentary on o.j. simpson filled with revelations aborevelations abou murder case. a lot of people talking about this. >> absolutely. good morning, guys. this is actually the anniversary of the infamous o.j. bronco case. it happened 22 years ago today. despite all that passage of time, the documentary airing right now on espn still manages to reveal chilling new details. o.j. made in america is the latest course in seemingly e endless feast about the simpson saga, a critically acclaimed documentary over eight hours long divvied up over five nights hailed a masterpiece. >> one of the things we've learned this year is that even a story as as well and often told as the o.j. simpson case there's a lot more to run. >> the people versus o.j.

simpson. his non-fiction book was turned into this year's popular tv series on fx. >> your ex-wife, nicole simpson, has been killed. i'm so sorry. >> that program featured actors the espn documentary centers on real people like friend ron shipp who says simpson refused to take a lie detector test from police after ron goldman and his wife were murdered. >> they asked me to take a lie deterkts test. i told them no. what do mine you told them no? to be truthful, shipp, i have had dreams of killing her. >> the documentary is unflin unflinching revealing photos never before seen at the crime scene too graphic for us to show. and we spoke to carl simpson on simpson's so-called dream team. >> the viewer can appreciate the reasons why a jury decided the prosecution had failed to prove its burden of finding mr. simpson guilty. >> race plays a pivotal role in

this series, the civil rights role and rodney king riots serve as backdrops about a football star who distanced himself from racial politics. >> the documentary illustrates the central paradox of the o.j. simpson story, is that o.j. himself did everything he could to try to be seen as a non-racial figure. but the story of his acquittal is the story of how his defense team used race to o.j.'s tremendous benefit. >> marcia clark gave us a statement saying this documentary provides what is perhaps the most profound examination of the history of race relations in los angeles in any medium. the series tells the truth about the context in which the simpson trial took place and it is far and away one of the most riv riveting, moving and honest pieces i have ever seen. the fourth installment airs tonight. it's just now starting to get

into the infamous trial of the century which tells you how much there is to say about o.j.'s life. >> a rave review from marcia clark and she was the person at the center of it. thanks. coming up, what alecia keys is making her fans do at her concerts.

in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. i couldn't have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner

in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. kim kardashian just added a little more fuel to the kanye taylor swift back and forth. quim r kim appears on this month's "gq" magazine and for the first time, publicly defends her husband. in the song he mentions miss swift saying, i will paraphrase here, that he and taylor may still hook up because he made her famous using a derogatory term to describe taylor. miss taylor's team said they

were not aware of the actual lyrics but warn kanye about releasing that storm. kim tells "gq" taylor was aware of the song lyrics ahead of time. she says she totally approved that and reality star said she totally knew that was coming out and wanted to act like all of a sudden she didn't. taylor's team was swift to respond to kim's claim releasing a statement saying taylor does not hold anything against kim kardashian as she recognizes the pressure kim must be under, ooh, and only repeating what she's been told by kanye west. i will sip some tea on that. it wept on to explain taylor and her team were aware being reported is not true and taylor cannot understood that kanye west announces kim kardashian will just not leave her alone. that's a lot. surrey cruise, growing up before our eyes, a picture of her adorable daughter yesterday
