more lightning like we've seen so far this morning. >> did you all bring your umbrellas? >> yes, we did. stay updated with the nbc 10 app throughout the day. good morning. running on empty. shocking new fund-raising numbers reveal donald trump has only $1.3 million left in his campaign war chest, $42 million left in hillary clinton. one day after firing his controversial campaign manager, can the presumptive gop nominee get back on track? we talk to him live. wildfires in the middle of the blistering heat waves. mandatory evacuations under way. fatal flaw. the popular jeep that suddenly rolled backward and killed a hollywood star. was a gearshifter to blame? what the automaker is saying

today. and her name is meghan, one of the reigning queens of pop culture. she's right here today on "today." superstar meghan trainor is getting set to light up our plaza today, tuesday, june 21, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, everybody. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. meghan trainor about to take our stage in a little while. i'm savannah guthrie and his name is no. >> teams like a couple years ago you were interviewing meghan, she was pregnant, just starting out. now she's back and you're pregnant -- >> again. i'm pregnant every time she's here. we'll get to meghan in a bit.

our top stories and problems inside donald trump's campaign? his fund-raising is lagging far behind hillary clinton's, that news coming on the heels of the sudden firing of his top aide. we'll talk to mr. trump in a moment. first, peter alexander is at trump tower here in new york. good morning. >> reporter: donald trump says he's not beholden to big money but this morning there's new evidence that shows he faces a significant disadvantage when it comes to campaign fund-raising. he's also trailing badly in the polls. our survey monkey tracking poll shows donald trump trailing clinton by six points. there's a new swing state poll out by quinnipiac that shows in ohio and pennsylvania trump and clinton are basically neck and neck. in the battleground of florida, trump trails clinton by eight points. donald trump's fund-raising is

so poor, it's jaw-dropping. raising $3 million in may and ending the month with barely $1 million in the bank. the kind of numbers that would be weak for a congressional campaign, not to mention a run at the white house. compare that to hillary clinton at a celebrity-studded fund-raising with stars. she outraised trump 9 to 1, ending the month with $42 million on hand. trump's campaign writing checks to a wide range of businesses. more than $20,000 to rent mar-a-largo but not a single cent spent on tv hours. hours after firing controversial campaign manager corey lewandowski, trump downplayed the dismissal. >> he's a good guy. he's a friend of mine. but i think it's time for a different kind of campaign. >> reporter: lewandowski who has agreed to a strict

confidentiality agreement with trump. >> i respect mr. trump. i respect him more so than any other person who entered this race. >> reporter: and ducking repeated questions about his firing. did donald trump have the courtesy so tell you you were fired or did someone else tell had you? >> i had a great conversation with mr. trump. it's been a privilege for me to serve the last 19 months on this campaign. >> reporter: sources close to the campaign say donald trump confronted their father urging him to oust lewandowski. is it a course correction or just cosmetic? some republicans are alarmed by what they see as trump's lack of campaign discipline, reiterating his idea to ban muslims after the orlando massacre and relentlessly targeting a federal judge for his mexican heritage. campaign manager paul manafort now taking the helm. his rivalry with manafort and series of physical

confrontations, grabbing a protester's collar and later a reporter. >> i don't discard people. i stay with people. i stay with a lot of people that are treated unfairly. >> reporter: after lewandowski's firing, one trump aide wrote, ding dong the witch is dead. that aide quit hours later. investigators say michael steven sanford tried to grab a police officer's gun at the event, later telling authorities he wanted to, quote, shoot and kill trump. a law enforcement official tells nbc news that sanford has mental problems. back to the firing of corey lewandowski, he certainly was a lightning rod for a long time, and yet it seemed to take everyone by surprise, including,

perhaps, corey lewandowski himself. >> reporter: that seems to be the case. as soon as there was some news out that corey lewandowski was fired, a statement from the campaign, i called corey lewandowski who answered on his cell phone. he said, hey. he seemed to be in great spirit. i said, did you get fired? what more can you tell me? then the phone clicked. sources within the campaign tell nbc news that in the early hours that this was taking place, there was one described as bedlam that very few people knew exactly what was going on. this morning we're learning new information about the fact that it appears donald trump's three adult children, as we were talking about during the course of that piece, they played some role in this. as you saw, i interviewed corey lewandowski yesterday. i asked him about reports about a conflict between him and ivanka trump's husband, who started to take a larger advisory role in the campaign, but corey lewandowski denied that there were any problems or conflicts between the two. matt and savannah? >> peter, thank you. >> let's talk to the man right

now, donald trump joining us by phone. mr. trump, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let me talk to you about corey lewandowski. this man has been given a lot of credit for getting you where you are now. he's credited with this whole strategy of let trump be trump. you were on this show during a time when he was under fire for this assault charge. you said, i am loyal to this guy. he has a family. i stick with my people. what do you want me to do, discard him? what now? >> i'm loyal. i still am loyal. he did a good job. i spent much less than everybody else and i beat everybody else. i would stand up at certain rallies and say, i spent far less than this one or that one -- >> but in terms of corey lewandowski. is this personal? is this a political view or philosophy? or did this boil down to something personal? it's been reported your family members, including your daughter, did not want him in the campaign anymore.

>> that's absolutely true. ivanka has great respect for him and so does my family. we like him. hey, matt, i got more votes than anybody in the history of the republican primary. >> you said something. you said, that's absolutely true, that ivanka didn't want him in the campaign. >> what i said -- well, i was reversing it. i said, it's true that ivanka really respects corey and it's absolutely true. she likes corey. and i read all these reports about the children and about, you know, all of this. it's all nonsense. >> it sounds like you're saying everything is great with corey but the undeniable fact is corey has been fired from your campaign. >> we're going in a different direction. i ran the campaign very lean, spent very little money. i won in landslides and corey was perfect for that. we have -- to this day. you saw his interviews yesterday. we have a great relationship but

we're going in a different direction. >> he's the guy that believed in let trump be trump, let him speak his mind and that got you a lot of success during the primaries. does this signal with him out that you're not going to do the let trump be trump anymore? that you're going to change your tone for the general election? >> i don't think so, matt. i think i have to be who i am. i don't want to be a phoney like hillary clinton where she reads stuff written up by high-priced talent. i don't want to be that. i want to be what i am. new polls came out and i'm right there. i'm right with the horrible few weeks i had from the press, the press is treating me unbelievably terribly. with all the bad press i've had over the last couple of weeks, believe me, that's manufactured press, 100%. i've had days where there should be good deals and the press comes out negatively. with all the press, i'm out in the poll. cnn just announced a poll, i'm right there. >> we just mentioned, there are

dead heats. ohio, in fact, is tied. let's talk about another measure is campaign fund-raising. the s.e.c. show you with $1.3 million raised on hand, excuse me, on hand, compared to $42 million in hillary clinton a's war chest. now, you understand money, the importance of money, it helps you mount a professional campaign and it's a sign of whether people are supporting you. how do you explain those lackluster results? >> let me just tell you this. i understand money better than anybody. i understand is far better than hillary and i'm way up on the economy when it comes to questions about the economy. but we have a party that, i mean, i'm having more difficulty, frankly, with some of the people in the party than the democrats because they're just -- they don't want to come on. they will probably eventually come on. honestly, if they don't, it's just fine. i can win it either way. i may be better off winning it

the opposite way than the traditional -- >> can you win it if she raises 42 -- >> i raised a lot of money. you also have to have some help from the party. but i raised a lot of money. $12 million this weekend. i was in texas, i was in arizona, i was in las vegas. we raised a lot of money this weekend. i made four, five stops. i'm raising that money for the party. now -- >> you mentioned -- >> matt, excuse me. if it gets to a point, i'll do what i did in the primaries. i spent $55 million of my own money to win the primaries. 55, that's a lot of money by even any standard. i may do that again in the general election. >> you just said -- >> excuse me, matt. i have a lot of cash and i may do it again in the general election. it would be nice to have some help from the party. >> you mentioned the party. paul ryan after hemming and hawing said he will vote for you and then on sunday on "meet the press" he sounded like they were

waffling. he told members in the republican party to vote their conscience. that's not exactly saying, get out and vote for our nominee, who will be donald trump. you said fame noously a long ti ago he'll support you and if he doesn't, he'll have problems. >> he said support me. mitch mcconnell said supported me. with that, i'd like to see great support. if i don't have great support, i'll go a different route. everyone said you could never get to 1237 delegates. you know that better than anybody. they said, you can't get to 1,237 delegates because there's 17 people in the race. i ended up at 1570, approximately, way above the 1237 people said you couldn't get. new polls come out and despite the fact i'm being treated horribly, horribly by the press, i'm practically even with hillary clinton and she had the

best two weeks of her life. >> all right, donald trump. mr. trump, we appreciate you on the phone this morning. thank you. >> thank you. let's move to the scorching heat wave baking the west, fueling a dozen wildfires across that region. miguel is east of los angeles where two fires are prompting evacuation. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is typically when fires lay down, in the early morning hours when crews can make progress. we can smell the fires are on the move as temperatures began to shoot up. overnight, southern california looked and felt like an oven, baking and burning. the west is on fire. new blazes are breaking out every day the smoke-filled skyline seen for miles. >> mandatory evacuation. >> reporter: with hundreds of evacuations in place, this morning more than 3,000 firefighters are battling nine large wildfires.

the golden state is red hot. >> the brush right now is so dry, it's aggressive. >> reporter: fueling the fire is the heat. brutal temps for 15 million people. 123 degrees near palm springs, a new daily record. in phoenix, a blistering 115. firefighters scrambling to dozens of emergencies. >> sounds like it's heat-related. >> reporter: five losing their lives to heat-related illness. many are bicyclists and hikers. not enough water and too much sun. >> they're still up there. >> reporter: with water stations popping up and power grids being tested, the stifling heat wave is packing another punch today. it's the heat and winds that could provide that knockout winds. you may be able to hear the helicopters overhead. this is an active fire fight. they say the conditions today

are going to be brutal for the men and women on the front lines. >> thank you very much. >> i'm looking at your map over there. that doesn't look good. >> no, it really doesn't. i wish we had better news but we don't. we have at least 10 million people under excessive heat warnings from l.a. all the way to parts of the dakotas. we are talking about death valley getting to 126. palm springs, 122 degrees today. dangerous heat. this dome of high pressure up a ridge, pushes the jet stream way up to the north. so, look at these temperatures. vegas, 115. wichita, 99 degrees. dallas will see 97. on wednesday, not much better. st. louis, over 100 degrees. raleigh will be 36 on thursday. we get a little break along the southern california coast. friday, burlington, vermont, look at a temperature, 82. jacksonville, guys, 100 degrees.

we don't really see much relief until we get into the weekend. >> a lot of amber and orange up there. al, thank you. >> thank you, al. now to this big battle on capitol hill for votes last night on what to do for guns. these gun control measures got the votes but not one got the needed 60 votes so move forward. senator bill nelson reacted with frustration. >> what am i going to tell 49 grieving families? what if i going to tell the families of those that are still in the hospital fighting for their lives? >> republicans had also offered proposals. it would prevent suspected terrorists from buying guns but republicans were offering conditions democrats could not release. also transcripts from the 911 calls made by the orlando

gunman and what was initially left out. nbc's gabe gutierrez has the latest on that. good morning. >> reporter: for the first time since the shooting, south orange behind me, where the nightclub is back open. investigators are still processing the scene. the fbi reiterating today that authorities have found no evidence to suggest that the gunman was directed by any foreign terror group but, instead, radicalized domestically. this morning the words of omar mateen to a 911 dispatcher sinking in. i pledge of allegiance to abu bakr al baghdadi of the islamic state. in arabic he says, praise be to god and prayers of peace be upon the prophet of god. i'm in orlando and i did the shootings. >> he did so in a chilling deliberate, calm manner. >> reporter: but the redacted transcript omitted any mention

of islamic. paul ryan said editing this is preposterous. fbi releasing an unredacted version. three hours later he identities himself as an islamic soldier and says he has bombs in a vehicle outside. at 4:21 they remove victims. at 4:29 he threatens to strap bombs to victims in the club. at 5:02 s.w.a.t. team storm the building. ballistic evidence shows all victims were shot by mateen and not by friendly fire. >> those killings are on the suspect and the suspect alone, in my mind. >> reporter: among those killed 49-year-old cancer survivor.

>> she's the mom everybody wanted. >> reporter: her son isaiah was with her inside the club. >> i never thought her life would be ended right in front of my eyes. >> reporter: in "the washington post" a man claims he reported mateen to the fbi in 2014 after mateen told him he was watching videos of anwar alawaki. the fbi said they looked into mateen, finding nothing, closed the case. >> reporter: last check, 21 people are still hospitalized, 4 in critical condition. loretta lynch is expected to visit with families and first investigators later today. >> thank you very much. let's turn to al and get the rest of your forecast. >> we do have a risk of strong storms in the mid-atlantic states as well.

amyloid buildup in patients like blanca whose brain shows early warning signs. >> you can see the areas of orange and pink here that are building up amyloid in the same regions you see at alzheimer's dementia. but these people are still healthy. our job is to try to prevent them from progressing over to this stage. >> reporter: the 3 1/2 year double blind study done at keck medical center and dozens of others will monitor patients' cognitive skills and brains to see if those on the drug do better than those on the placebo. you're looking for another 400 people to sign up. you want more women than men. why? >> women are more likely to be affected by alzheimer's disease, almost twice as likely because they live longer and also because they have an increased risk due to interactions with genetics and buy logic factors. he want to help people live

blanca volunteer for clinical trials so science can get closer to solving this devastating disease. >> i want to make a difference. for myself, for my kids, and for anybody that has this awful illness. >> and she is. researchers say they need the public's help in volunteering for these studies. they're conducted at medical centers all across the country. and to find out how you can join one, including the a-4 study, which is still looking for hundreds of participants, go to today.com and enroll or find out how you can enroll. >> this is a subject obviously you've looked at a lot. it's fascinating. you were telling me 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds are becoming very interested in how to prevent alzheimer's. >> they see what's happening to their parents. there are 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day. so, their children are very interested in nutrition, in exercise, but all these researchers say, look, it's great to have a brain-healthy diet, it's really important to

>> everybody's like, is he going to leave us? where is he going? >> he made good on his promise. >> he did. >> bringing a championship home to cleveland. >> right. >> boy, did they deliver. >> i'll tell you, though, he can act. >> oh, my gosh. >> he's amazing. we saw him in "trainwreck." he bought a house, apparently a huge mansion in l.a. there's talk of him forming a super team in l.a. question is, could he go there? the lakers would certainly love to have him. could he go back to the miami heat or even the knicks? i mean, the knicks need him. >> really? >> come here! >> seriously, the knicks need a talented player? my god. wow. what a concept. >> please, lebron. think about us in new york. >> well, listen, my heart's in two places because i do love cleveland. as long as he stays, that's great. >> keep giving cleveland some trophies, championships. >> the browns are next. >> yeah. >> here we go. a couple of exciting stories about the future.

for example, one of my favorite cartoons. take a look. because of this. >> this is the past, though. >> the jetsons, the flying car, ladies and gentlemen. guess what? >> one of my favorite cartoons. >> wasn't it one of the best? rosy, elroy. >> i would like to watch it now. >> judy, judy. ♪ jane his wife and then jane, jane, stop this crazy thing! here we are. we're no closer to flying cars, or are we? a massachusetts company earned an exemption sunday from the faa so its flying car can be classified as a light sport aircraft. seats two people. you can fly with a sport license, which requires 20 hours of lessons. >> just 20 hours? >> what could go wrong there? aviation insider say these type of flying cars could be for sale

in the next decade. >> so, wait. drones have an issue but flying cars are okay? >> no problem! no problem. >> just 20 hours of flying lessons. >> you're on the l.i.e., things are -- >> you start levitating and go. >> wings down. assuming you have enough room to take off. >> i can't even imagine. can you imagine that here in new york? all the sky scrapers and everything, flying through? >> if we had a delorian, we wouldn't have to worry about roads. >> this is your next segue. >> where we're going, we don't need roads. ♪ >> i mean, this is also part of the past, as natalie would say. >> biff! >> but it's "back to the

future". >> so you can take that and -- >> what was that? >> that's a car we had. it's not a flying car. it has a surfboard. oh, it does have wings. there you go. that is very nice. what if you could take that flying car, you could fly from london to new york in 2 1/2 hours? >> in a car? no, no. >> new plane. >> new plane. >> not a concorde. >> aviation designer creating the flash falcon. it's a double-decker plane that looks sort of like a spaceship. it reaches about 2300 miles per hour. seats 250 people. the concorde was about half that, seated about 100 people. >> a facelift after you get off? >> that's right. >> face pressed back into the seat the whole time. >> designer says it could be a reality in the next 15 years. >> wow. >> would you do it? >> i would totally do it. after they test it a couple times perform getting to london in 2 1/2 -- i will say, the

flight from new york to london is not long enough for a lap. 5, 5 half hours. by the time you watch a movie, have a meal, you want a nap. you can't even get a nap in. >> are you really complaining that you can't -- >> i need a longer flight. >> i came from here to london and new york, i can't -- >> i need a seven-hour flight. i need a nap. >> you raise a good point. speaking of -- >> here's a concept. do it when you get home. >> sometimes there's no time. >> you're in london. >> you're on a plane. you have nothing else to do. why not take a nap? >> because they got rid of all the books. >> i read a lot on the planes, too. and then i nap. >> and they do have good movies on planes now. >> they do. although i've seen every single movie by now. >> speaking of which, you talk about technology and vacation. >> yes. i tried to make that transition and it just doesn't work the way do you it. >> because i don't care. i just keep moving. >> so, when you are on vacation, whether or not you nap on the

flight, are you able to turn your phone off when you actually get there? >> never. >> i think a lot of people want to but most people -- >> i don't check it as much. i'll put it in my bag and say, at the end of the day, i'll look at it. >> i think it's hard for us to do. i feel when i'm on vacation, anything can sort of happen so you always have to be sort of plugged in. 55% of people who want to unplug say they're not able to. i think we're all included in that. of the people who do turn off, 65% said they found their vacation was more enjoyable, which makes sense. >> i always love when you get the e-mails from people who know you're on vacation. i know you're on vacation, but, you know, what do you -- i'm like, if you know i'm on vacation, then why are you e-mailing me something that i don't need to answer right away? >> because i'm more important than you are. >> right. >> and everybody knows that you will check it eventually. >> right. >> so, this goes to the whole thought of when your minds are unloaded and you're kind of detached from everything for a little while. where do you come up with your most creative ideas?

is in the shower -- >> running. >> going for a run? >> yeah. >> walking my dog. >> walking my dog, yes. mine is like right when i'm laying in bed and kind of i wake up in the middle of the night, i have these brain storm ideas. like, i want to pitch this story, i can't wait. i wake up the next morning and it's like, that was so stupid. that was dumb. >> seemed like a good idea then. >> yes. >> were you dreaming it? >> it's like seinfeld. flaming orbs and -- what was the joke? >> i don't remember. i was asleep at the time. >> it will come to me. >> when you're sleeping, all of a sudden this brilliant flash bulb -- >> yes. i'll text you and think the next morning it was stupid. that was the end of my topic. to you. >> that was a smooth segue. i worked with a sports guy, jack morris and he started with newspapers. so he did the timing thing.

so, when the clock -- when the little lights went out, we were done, he would stop in the middle of the story, and that's as far as i go. >> why don't you do that story? >> and you have to add, and that's as far as i go. and it's all about the look, right? the lean in and look. speaking of, we want to ask you, we're launching a whole new thing called "look what i can launch" -- or "look what i can do ". >> hey, look what i can launch. >> we've had a lot of celebrity guests who have impressed us with heir talents in the past. brooke shields was able to open a beer. i missed it. she opened a beer with her forearm. >> she's tough. >> jane on roller skates and she can do the splits, too, on a broadway stage. mark foyerstein rode a pogo

stick. >> why don't they spell that phonetically? and grant gusten tap danced, apparently. >> what's the -- >> clear as a bell. >> we want to see your hidden talents. whether it's weird, funny -- >> or stupid human tricks. >> if you have a stupid human trick, we want to know about it. send us your video. three lucky viewers can perform on our talent show here and they'll also get a chance to compete to a trip to l.a. to appear on "america's got talent" and that's all i got. >> that's as far as i go. >> i need the camera. >> i don't think that's going to happen. >> your turn, al. >> our hidden talent is making time stand still. anyway, let's show you what we got going on. unfortunately, excessive heat warnings, advisories, red flag

warnings, over 10 million people under some sort of warning. this is widespread warmth. for today we're expected -- by wednesday, tomorrow, hayes up to 98. st. louis, 92. 96 in raleigh. on thursday into friday, look at these temperatures. jacksonville, 100 degrees. 97 in oklahoma city. vegas will be 109. plus tomorrow we're also watching -- this is very, very potentially dangerous. we've got 47 million people under some sort of risk for severe storms. but the worst area is going to be from milwaukee, chicago, ft. wayne. just to the west of detroit into northwestern ohio, tornados and large hail likely. this will probably be tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening. we'll be watching this extremely good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. keep an eye on the sky this afternoon. i've issued a first alert for much of our area from noon to

okay. 22-year-old meghan trainor has a lot to be grateful for. her second album is appropriately entighted "thank you" with a couple of catchy tunes we can't get out of our head. >> meghan, so good to see you. >> you, too. what's up, guys? >> we had a thing about hidden talents. what i'm amazed at, you can write a melody in a short period of time. >> oh, yeah. >> like in minutes? >> yeah. >> is that how you come up -- >> lately because i'm so much on the road, not home in the studio, i'll take a shower and just start drumming and write an entire song. i'll get out of the shower and record it on my phone. sometimes i can't control it. recently i woke up because the song was just so loud in my head that i was like, okay, okay, i'll write it, i'll write it.

it was scary. >> that's better than an alarm clock. >> that's wonderful. >> this particular album shows a different side, dancier, a caribbean beat to you. when did your brain switch to writing these other kind of songs? >> that's what i was trying to show the world with this album. i've always been writing this kind of music. my family was aware of that. they were begging me on my first alb album, show your caribbean, your rap. the first album i didn't know how much i was in control, so i just did a lot of do-op and followed the "all about the base bass theme." sledgehammer and rascal flatts were like, we know what you can do. show the world. they didn't let me stop until i did it. >> you thanked your momma for j. lo's album. how do you decide, is this your song or her song? >> i thought it was going to be mine for a minute but i had so

many songs that i had to pick my favorites. i knew it would be a big song. j. lo has been asking me to write with her so i sent it to her. she loved it. it was perfect. it has to match, it will be perfect and you never know when it will happen. >> last summer you had to cancel halfway through the tour because of vocal problems. how are you trying to prevent that this time around? there's a lot of stress. people don't realize how stressful that is performing night after night. >> mentally it takes you to a place you never want to be. recently, just like today, i noticed when i sang i was raspy and my team was like, what's going on? maybe it's because you sang five hours in a studio last night and sang in a show the day before. it's difficult when you do promo right into tour. i'm seeing a doctor today just to check on them and we're learning new tricks every day. >> you have to keep care of the

vocals. drink tea all day long -- >> oh, yeah. >> and try to be quiet when you're not on? >> that's the hardest part. >> your video "me too," the choreography in this thing -- >> no one knows, but i'll say it. after that video -- because i wrote this not knowing how hard it would be. one day we shot for 22 hours. at. 3:00 a.m. when we were finishing the dance move, i was in spanx, exhausted, they said "cut" and i fell down and cried, sweaty and exhausted. but i love it. >> we have a present. >> for your album going double platinum -- >> stop it! >> we have that. you can hang that next to your grammy award. >> oh, thank you for this. >> so amazing. >> you always do this. this is crazy. thank you. >> meghan trainor, thank you. i love all the young girls, by the way, and the boys, too, that are here for you. >> because of me, yeah. >> you have another song for us in a little bit.
