there are 110 million people who will see temperatures above 90 degrees across the entire country. so it is hot everywhere. but let's take a look at what's going on where temperatures will be 100 to 125 degrees. this, of course, leads to dehydration, especially because humidity is so low so you need to stay hydrated and check on your neighbors and make sure everyone is safe in this kind of heat. we are looking at the heat to continue over the next several days, again, because of this area of high pressure. you have this sinking air, and as the air sinks, it heats up. we are looking for temperatures to remain at about 15 to 25 degrees above average. los angeles about 104 degrees. as we go through the middle of the week, we'll see temperatures drop off a little bit in burbank, but still in las vegas, through yuma, through phoenix, temperatures maybe not breaking records but still up around 115 degrees, which is very dangerous. the good news for firefighters in santa barbara, temperatures should drop to the 80s and we should see an increase on

dating web sites, though they have not found dating apps on his cell phone. back at sunday night's vigil, amid the sorrow, suddenly, a sign of hope. >> it's helped galvanized people to realize what is important. the city will not be defeated. >> reporter: it really was a powerful sight. since the rampage, more than $7 million in donations have been raised for the victims. she plans to visit tomorrow with investigators. a new political fallout from the orlando shootout as well. donald trump weighing in once again and also speaking out about some cracks in his support within the republican party. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is following that story. peter, good morning. >> hi, savannah, they're actually brewing signs of rebellion against donald trump within the republican party as we reveal newly unveiled plans to try to stop his nomination among delegates to next month's

convention. it's a long shot. the rnc says it will never happen. as far as party unity, he still has a big climb ahead. donald trump renewing his call for the u.s. to consider profiling muslim to see avoid another terrorist attack. >> i hate the idea of profiling, but we have to use common sense. >> reporter: he's facing a wide deficit against hillary clinton, trailing in polls and in money. still insisting it's early with nbc's hallie jackson. looking to capitalize, clinton and her democratic allies are releasing $23 billion worth of ads in battleground states. pro-trump forces haven't spent a dime. this weekend he was playing catch-up in the fundraising battle, making stops in texas, a red state, but hasn't voted democratic in 40 years. if the gop doesn't want to help pay his way, trump says he'll do it himself. >> we'll have to have help. we'll have to have help. otherwise i'll keep doing what i'm doing, i'll keep funding my own campaign.

>> reporter: with trump's wounds largely inflicted. paul ryan is giving republicans the green light to vote how they choose. >> the last thing i would do is tell somebody to do something against their conscience. >> it would be nice if the republicans stuck together. i think i win either way. i can win one way or the other. >> reporter: with vice president joe biden expected to unload today, it's open season on trump for democrats. >> every day it becomes clearer that he is a thin-skinned, racist bully. and every day it becomes clearer he will never be president of the united states. >> reporter: still, trump says he's sitting pretty. >> i feel lukeike a supermodel except times ten. it's true. >> reporter: a little joyful news this weekend, too. he'll be too young to vote this fall, but the clinton family is celebrating a new addition. chelsea clinton giving birth to a new grandson. his name is aidan.

hillary clinton tweeting, what a joy being with our new grandson, so grateful. signed, h. >> congrats to them, but back to this gun debate. i know there are votes on the hill today, peter? >> that's exactly right. this has become a familiar pattern. the last time the senate held votes on gun reform was last september. proposals then failed. another four up for a vote today, two sponsored by democrats, two by republicans. it seems unlikely either of them will pass, either. simply put you have both competing on measures of background checks and people on a terrorist watch list. even that with divisions with republicans worried about fringing on someone's due process if they're wrongly on that list. they hammered lawmakers that given this threat of terror that these new efforts are basically useless. >> what we're doing with this debate on the hill right now, it's like they're trying to stop a freight train with a piece of

kleenex. >> the bills all need 60 votes to pass. that means for anything to change here in washington, savannah, it's going to have to be bipartisan. >> donald trump actually did weigh in on this, and it seems like he might be willing to take on the nra and side with this notion of no fly, no buy. >> i think that's right. this weekend he focused his remarks on how to keep the country safe, but he found himself at odds with the nra. trump argued that if more people at that orlando nightclub were armed with guns strapped to their waist and if they fired back at the shooter, the carnage would have been much less. but even the nra pushed back against that, insisting it does not believe people should be carrying guns in drinking establishments. trump has said he would meet with the nra suggesting he was on board with the law to try to keep guns out of the hands of people already banned from flying because they're suspended or they are known terrorists. savannah? >> a lot of moving pieces in politics today.

peter, thank you. speaking of guns, a connecticut judge will hear arguments on whether a lawsuit can continue against the semiautomatic rifle used in the sandy hook shooting. families of victims are suing remington arms which made the ar-15 style rifle used in that attack. the plaintiffs say the company knew the rifle was meant for the military and too dangerous to sell to civilians. remington's lawyers argue the lawsuit is barred by federal law that shields gun manufacturers from most lawsuits over criminal use of their products. a funeral will be held tomorrow for the two-year-old boy who was killed by an alligator at disney world. this as more changes with being made at the park with this tragedy. kerry is following that for us in new york. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, it's been almost a week since two-year-old lane graves was killed and attacked by an alligator here at disney world. this morning his parents and four-year-old sister are back in

of the links shared on social media have never actually been clicked on, meaning most people retweet news without ever reading it for themselves. researchers say this suggests people tend to form an opinion without bothering to get the full story. but something that confirms their opinion, they want to spread it around a little bit. >> people form opinions without the facts? i've never heard of that. i'm definitely guilty of that. if you have a doggie at home, sometimes you might feel guilt when you leave in the morning. now there's a new toy showing you can still play with your dog even when you're not home. this is called the go bone. it uses an algorithm to keep your dog happy and running around all day long. you connect the device to your smartphone. you can even control it remotely. the go bone also stores treats in case little rover gets hungry in the middle of all that activity. >> i was stuck in traffic last night and i'm counting down the hours. i'm like, she's been alone for six hours. >> you need the go bone.

vegas, 115 is the forecast for today. we'll likely break some records, although l.a., i think, will fall just shy of that. still, record or not, hot is hot. we also have the chance today for storms in washington. much more comfortable to the north of this cold front. in the southeast, it's hot and humid. youremperatures will be i tn

>> and that's your latest forecast. willie and savannah? now a new installment of our series "undercover" where we take on stories that aren't in the headlines. this morning, a troubled trend in health care. >> here's what you might relate to if you have a student in your family. one in four college students deal with some kind of mental health issue. colleges across the country say they're there to help, but could some of that help be backfiring? over the course of a six-month investigation, 22 students at 10 different schools told us as it is. at first college was a dream for jasmine whooten. >> i was taking a humanities course, i was doing so much. >> reporter: then she grappled with depression and tried to hurt herself. >> i was scratching myself, literally. >> reporter: did you want to kill yourself?

>> no. not at all. >> reporter: jasmine said she went to the nurse's office at her school, seeking help. she was shocked when they immediately sent her to a psychiatric hospital. >> they were like, you have to go in an ambulance, which was really embarrassing. >> reporter: just for a few days, jasmine said they told her, but she was kept in the hospital for two weeks, and then sent to a meeting with school officials who told her she had to leave campus immediately. >> they just handed me this contract saying i had to move all my stuff out of my dorm in 48 hours, and they just kept pressuring me to just sign it. >> reporter: do you feel it was voluntary? >> no. no. >> reporter: college students dealing with mental health issues are often told to seek help at counseling centers like this one at the university of chicago. but over the course of our six-month investigation, we spoke with 22 students at schools across the country who claim seeking help was the beginning of a nightmare. a growing controversy splashed across the pages of school newspapers nationwide. >> this is a big deal and it is

a matter of life and death. forced mental leaves are risky business. i would say they are not ethical and they're not effective. >> reporter: psychiatrist victor shorts, the former medical director of nyu's counseling service, says this is a difficult balancing act for schools. >> they are concerned about the potential risk of suicide, which, for one thing, is a bad pr problem for the school. >> reporter: do you think this makes campuses safer? >> if it works for getting students the care they need, it does. if it works to discourage students from going to the counseling service because they're afraid of being sent home against their will, then it's actually a terrible message. >> reporter: some students have returned after forced leaves and are fighting back. rachel williams, a student at yale, sought help for depression and cutting. >> i had to get on the stretcher and be taken to the locked ward of the er. >> reporter: while she was still institutionalized, the school informed her she was no longer a student.

if she wanted to come back, she had to reapply. >> if you want to care for your students, don't tell the student, you're not a student anymore. >> reporter: she's speaking out, writing this searing yale news article calling for a more humane approach. yale declined our interview requests, but said there are cases where a very serious medical problem says students take time off from school. the goal is for students to return and be successful. most schools do return to yale. rachel is not alone. at university of chicago, students who made it back from forced leaves are asking for change. >> they strapped me to a gurney and put me in an ambulance. >> reporter: how many of you were strapped to a gurney and taken to this psych ward? all of you? >> yep. it was terrifying. >> reporter: olivia ortiz said her leave was anything but voluntary. >> i was amin a psychiatric uni and i was forced to sign a form without being given access to my legal counsel. >> reporter: after her release, she was summoned to school

officials with her mother elizabeth, a prosecutor in arizona. >> elizabeth goes into a fetal position, and she starts sobbing and begging them, and to look up and see absolutely no compassion, no empathy. i've spent my career as a prosecutor, and i can't envision ever being in a courtroom where a victim was treated that way. >> reporter: and why do you think they did that? >> i think they wanted to put all of their energies into preserving the public image of university of chicago. >> reporter: we asked the university of chicago for an interview. they declined. they also wouldn't comment on individual cases, koociting fedl law, even after several of the students gave consent. they said, many of the claims ufr quade to us are inaccurate

and inconsistent with the genuine concerns that guide the student leave process. >> that is true. there was no compassion, there was no fairness. my experience is it's actually the opposite. >> reporter: after 13 months of pleading, jasmine finally got the news this month that she'll be able to go back to the university of chicago. she is overjoyed but says that last year is a price that students like her shouldn't have to pay. >> throwing away students like they did me is not the answer to helping someone. >> reporter: one study shows 40% of college students dealing with mental health issues never seek help. we spoke with experts who said this is something that could make that problem worse. >> a complicated situation by the colleges as well. >> there are genuinely good intents by the colleges here. the question is, are they overreacting sometimes? >> you would think a kid wouldn't seek help because of

the reaction they get. >> potentially life threatening, so difficult calls on both parts. >> you can send your story suggestions to ronan using the #undercovered. we'll have a film with a very large shark and blake lively. paul simon with a number of hits and taking his music in a brand new direction at the age of

will see heat continue in the southwest, most likely breaking more records today. scattered showers and storms. some could be severe in the eastern great lakes stretching to missouri. it's nice in the nortest. temperhwat good morning, i'm meteorologist bill henley. it will be another hot one today, sunshine, into the 90s, even hotter than yesterday. 94 for summerton, up to chestnut hill. and malverne and the lehigh valley. and bethlehem and easton. to the south, new jersey will be warming into the sunshine. 86 in wildwood. wilmington, up to 91 and plenty of sunshine for dover and lewis. have a great day. that's your latest forecast. savannah? dillon, thank you so much. blake lively is making a splash, you might say, in her new movie

called "the shallows." shee goes to a tropical stobeac find solace after her mother dies. but there is a great big white thing. take a look. >> blake lively, good morning. >> good morning. >> i think there should be a new rating for thrillers, how high in your seat you jumped out and how many times. for me it was many, many times. >> that's good. >> was that fun? it looked a little -- >> not that scene. that scene was not fun. having your face thrashed against a fake rock is not fun. it was a fun shoot. we shot in this beautiful island, nobody ever shot there before. it was pristine and amazing, and

the rest was basically in a giant swimming pool. >> it was an amazingly grueling thing to watch. i can't imagine having to actually do it yourself. is this something you fear in your own life, sharks, or are you kind of -- >> no, i actually had an amazing experience. i went diving with great white sharks and a conservationist. being in the water amongst them, it suddenly takes away that fear because you see them in movies and they're villainized, but when you see them in their habitat and you realize they're not actually hunting you, they're in their land. >> nancy is your character. she's brave, she's a medical student, so we know she's resource ful. >> yes. >> she kind of gets stuck literally on a rock. you can see the beach, but she can't get there because there is a shark between you. >> that's what's so frightening, hence the name "the shallows," because of global warming, sharks are pushed closer to shore. she's attacked, and you think of a shark attack being in the deep ocean, but it's almost scarier

when shore is right there, and it's so close. but it comes in handy that she's a medical student, definitely. >> i was impressed with the way she figured out how to survive. i figure i would be the kind of person that would sit on the rock and cry. >> that's the thing, she's not the most resource ful person to start, but it just shows the human's ability to survive when you're faced with life or death. >> this is a little different for a type of project for you, and i heard your hubby was kind of your inspiration because he had done a rather grueling and difficult shoot as well. >> he did a film called "buried" where he's in a coffin the entire time. i think that would be harder to do because you have to carry a movie in a box. at least i had all these beautiful settings and sharks that helped me. i hope you like it. >> you have a little girl. i have a little girl that i think they're about three months apart. is she doing anything fun and

exciting these days? >> she's always doing something fun and exciting. she's the most fun human being i've ever been around in my life. >> you come from a big family. you said you want to have a big family. is that still the plan? >> oh, gosh, yeah. i'm one of five kids, my husband is one of four, so we are officially breeders. you can go on our website and we will give you some of our children. >> the more the merrier. blake lively.

in a movie called "rush" about formula 1 racing. he saw a documentary i did about jay-zee's music festival and he invited me into this process, and i had the opportunity to meet and interview, you know, ringo, paul, worked closely with the families. it's been great to get to know them. we focused on the touring years, so about '62-ish to '66 which is their final big tour, but it's such a dramatic and dynamic, exciting period. >> you remember the british invasion. what did you think at that time? >> i was so excited to get my beatle wave, and i see my wave looks a lot like george's. i tried to capture this period and make it as revealing and intimate about the band. through it all, there was a kind of brotherhood, a relationship. i didn't quite expect the power of that. i find that kind of emotional. while all this was going on,

their lives were changing, our lives were changing. they were creating and working on the road, and yet their artistry kept evolving in ways that's truly profound. >> is there a beatle you most identify with? >> i think paul mccartney and his sort of showmanship, his love of the audience and wanting to connect and tell a story is something that i probably relate to best, but they're all geniuses. their music speaks to all generations. it still does. it's remarkable. >> my kids love their music as much as i do. >> it's because of the genius of the writing and the execution, so as a storyteller, always looking for something that might surprise audiences. it's been really a pleasure. >> you've got "inferno" coming out, the latest adaptation of the dan brown book. it's been a while. >> it has been a while. and we don't look at this as a series we have to service. we look at them as individual stories written by dan brown. they're great cinematic

opportunities. when the script comes around, and we really believe the movie can be strong, then we go. it's a great acting opportunity for tom hanks. he knows what he's -- >> this goes way back, back to your "splash" days when you directed him. you must have great stories about tom. >> he's a pleasure, he has a great sense of humor, and it never really stops until you roll cameras, and then he locks in with such focus and intelligence. of course, when the lead actor or actress in a film carries that sort of creative ambition and that work ethic, it's a pleasure for the director. >> ron howard again and the beatles' "eight days a week, the touring years" on september 16. coming up next, we know he's good at hunting and fishing, but let's see how luke bryan does let's see how luke bryan does when he g technology is useful. let's see how luke bryan does when he g i just bought a book. and while i was telling you about the book, i downloaded a song. oh, and full disclosure,
