national correspondent peter alexander is at the capitol for us. peter, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, make no mistake. this was dramatic, like nothing we've ever seen before. truly one of the most dramatic demonstrations in modern america american history. i left the house chamber a moment ago. a live picture right now. still more than a dozen democrats in the chamber as part of the staged sit-in. some bringing pillows. they ate pizza on the floor overnight. paul ryan overnight, republican house speaker, muscled through the rest of the week's business, then adjourned without any vote scheduled on guns and congress won't really be back in session until july 5th. >> 88. the clerk will -- >> reporter: overnight, demanding a vote on gun control on the house floor. chaos erupting as republican house speaker paul ryan tried to restore order. >> but the chair would hope that the business of the house could be conducted.

>> reporter: the demonstration producing this partisan confrontation. >> radical islam kill these people. >> reporter: bearing the names and faces of gun violence victims, breaking into song, rewriting the chorus to "we shall overcome." ♪ we shall pass a bill someday >> reporter: their voices echoed on the capitol steps, hundreds gathered in support rallied by congressman john lewis, civil rights of ittist who spearheaded wednesday's sit-in. >> you must never, ever give up or give in. >> i felt like i'm reliving my life over again. >> reporter: speaker paul ryan dismissing it. >> this is not coming up with a solution to the problem but trying to get attention. >> we will occupy this floor.

>> reporter: loud chants disrupting the house session. >> the house will be in order. >> reporter: republicans forced to go into recess. the cameras showing the sit-in turned off. accuracy controlled by the republican house speaker. democrats taking to social media, producing their own broadcast, violating house rules. >> give us the right to vote on these two bills. help make america safer and let's do it now. >> reporter: hillary clinton standing by the sit-in tweeting house republicans may have cut the cameras, but they can't cut off our voices. democrats want votes on background checks and no fly, no buy bill, blocking gun sales to suspected terrorists. house republicans aren't backing down, steve king tweeting i've had it with the gun-grabbing democrats. i'm going to go home and buy a new gun. >> reporter: the house minority leader, nancy pelosi, addressing

what's the strategy? if they're going to fail, why not just give them a vote? you have your vote and you didn't have enough support. >> republicans don't want to put up a tough vote for their members if they don't have to. number two, once this began, as remarkable as it was, breaking house rules, streaming viral overnight, you don't want, as the speaker of the house in either party, to set a precedent where you hand over the calendar, one of the speaker's most important prerogatives. >> they want a moment of silence after a mass shooting, they want some real change, but does this bring about anything other than a little discussion on a morning show for one day? >> i think it's a great question. the real truth is we don't know the answer yet. we heard from some members of congress last night, comparing this, as john lewis did, to the civil rights struggle and how many big moments there were until you change public opinion and government conduct. republicans saying, look, you

didn't win enough seats to get these votes. you don't control the house. you want to control what the votes are held on, win an election and you'll control the house. we heard both sides of that. this was certainly an unusual late night on the hill. >> thank you very much. good to see you. weather was also a story overnight. storms tore through parts of the midwest, spawning a number of dangerous tornadoes, some of them right near chicago. in conneautt, illinois, blake, good morning to you. >> reporter: people are waking up to get their first look at the damage. this morning, a slow-moving line of storms, after produce iing w weather wednesday evening from terrifying tornadoes to 60-mile-an-hour winds.

strong storms from eastern indiana all the way into central west virginia. 34 million people at risk. damaging winds and isolated tornadoes and hails as well, plus some torrential downpours. stationary front slowly moving south. wind gusts over 60 miles an hour possible with this. we see these storms reform from charleston to washington, d.c. it will be a fast-moving line anywhere from half an inch to an inch of rain. the big story, of course, will be the strong winds and the possibility of tornadoes. >> all right. al, thank you. we'll check back in, in a minute. closely watched vote playing out today in great britain. questions facing voters there, should the country remain in the european union? keir simmons is in london on this very close vote. good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. front page of one british newspaper this morning, independence day. imagine texas voting to leave the united states, or at least to do its own trade deals with

other countries around the world. it's not a perfect comparison but underscores the fear of many folks here of huge upheaval as a result of this vote. >> i'm in. >> i'm going to be out. >> i'm voting in. >> i think i'll vote out. >> reporter: british voting this morning in perhaps their biggest decision for a generation, whether to remain in the european union. 28 countries all sharing economic ties. the referendum on a british exit or brexit centers on issues like immigration, jobs and the economy. >> the economy is the most important thing. >> take back control. >> the polls too close to call. latest numbers showing the remaining camp slightly ahead of the leave camp. a vote here in britain to leave the european union might ultimately affect your 401(k). the shock wave felt here in france and across europe. even here, germany. a huge world economy, will be hit. a domino effect inevitably

affecting the u.s. crisscrossing the uk, the tone -- >> totally untrue. >> after the murder of a lawmaker last week, perhaps weakening the leave campaign. one restauranteur fears leaving the eu means an end to immigration. >> with an exit it seems our workforce would be depleted. >> reporter: politicians as well as celebrities are lined up in opposing camps. prime minister david cameron, sir richard branson, david beckham and james bond himself saying stay in europe while former london mayor, michael cain, liz hurley and john cleve wanting to leave. a vote that could divide europe with the world watching. the president and hillary clinton have said britain should stay within the eu. donald trump has suggested britain should leave. like any divorce, both sides know it will be messy. one side thinks it will mean

freedom, the other worried it will be a terrible mistake. matt? >> lots of debate in this. thank you very much. what does the so-called brexit vote mean for you? olivia sterns just got back from europe. good to see you. americans aren't sure why this matters to them. as keir even hinted at in his piece, it does. let's start on if you're planning your retirement. >> half of all americans have some retirement savings in a 401(k), which means they have exposure to stock. if britain votes to leave the european union, yes, we are expecting to see a lot of panic in the stock market, sell-off. it will be bad for the british economy. because economies and markets are also interconnected, what happens over there really will hurt us here. >> and sell off because of uncertainty? people don't know what the economic impact will be in europe? >> exactly. uncertainty is the number one thing investors don't like to see. yes, you could suddenly wake up and see thousands of dollars wiped off your 401(k). don't panic.

the worst thing you can do is sell right after. >> let's talk about the american dream. people want to buy a home. temporary good news here. >> if you're in the market to buy a new home, mortgage rates are really know. if britain does vote to leave the union it's unlikely the central bank will raise rates any time soon because of this uncertainty. last thing they'll do is raise rates with all the uncertainty there. on the flip side if you have money in a savings account we're still talking about really low interest rates. >> hillary clinton wants britain to stay. >> yeah. >> in the european union. president obama wants that as well. donald trump said no. maybe the brexit is right. how will this impact the election? >> think about the message. make america great again. a lot of what brexit is about is making britain great again, harkening back to this perceived era to more prosperity than there currently is, and other

things driving the brexit, anger over immigration, right wing populism. if they do agree to leave, it's good for the force that's driving trump. hillary clinton is on the same page as president obama, and thinks britain is better off in european union because they're allies. and that's better to have our influence over there. domestic flight diverted overnight because of an apparent threat on board. nbc's tom costello covers aviation for us. what can you tell us about this? >> compass air flight from texas to los angeles. f-16 fighter jets were scrambled to escort this plane to the ground after what the pilot determine d was a serious and immediate threat. delta flight 5720 forced to make an emergency landing in tucson. police boarding the plane. >> you, come to me. >> reporter: pulling off this

unidentified man. another man who appears to be traveling with the suspect trails behind. >> right there at the back. >> reporter: u.s. government official tells nbc news the younger man is accused of threatening another passenger, claiming he had a gun. one of the roughly 80 people on board tweeted guy is uncooperative, appears to be having some sort of breakdown. the situation serious enough, the pilot ordered an emergency landing. diverted to tucson, escorted by a pair of f-16 fighter jets. >> that alerted us to the fact that there was definitely something serious or potentially serious going on in the aircraft. >> reporter: nervous passengers met by heavily armed police, then searched before being allowed back on the plane. >> they brought dogs in. it was a big thing once we touched down. i'm glad to be home. i'm tired. >> we definitely knew something strange was going on when we saw the f-16 off our wing and

started to descend pretty rapidly. it was tense but everybody was pretty focused and calm. >> it's unclear this morning if the passenger was having some sort of a mental health emergency but airport police, border patrol and fbi all responded and took the suspect into custody. the fbi says that it is -- right now appears to have been no threat to public safety. >> scary, though. tom costello, thank you. as we mentioned at the top of the show, president obama seems to be making plans for life after the white house. it turns out basketball might be a big part of those plans. according to press secretary josh earnest, the president has discussed being part of an ownership group for an nba franchise under the right circumstances. president obama, of course, loves hoops. not the first time the idea has come up. he expressed interest in owning a team in gq magazine back in november. >> would you ever want to own a sports team if you could? >> i can barely invest in my son's little league team to get the banners in center field.

polar winter, it's only been done twice before. the temperature 115 below zero with windchill. cold enough to freeze jet fuel and batteries. only half a dozen pilots in the world experienced enough to make the perilous trip over a barren landscape from the south pole to the antarctic peninsula, then another tough trip north over open water to chile and safety. this is what it looked like at the south pole during the first-ever winter rescue. the winds, whipping around the plane. the wing flap froze. the landing skis, stuck to the ice. this time, the crew had to make a tough choice. in addition to one passenger with a life-threatening illness, risk the limits of the twin prop plane and take another, not as sick. the last-minute call, risk the heavier load and take them both. >> the real peril is in the

on rossen reports, surviving a flash flood while trapped in your car. >> already this summer season we've seen drivers trapped in their cars. jeff is here with an eye-opening demonstration. >> good morning. al has been telling us about it today, severe weather slamming the midsection of the country right now, impacting tens of millions. the rain coming down in buckets, the water rising fast. sometimes, as you know, it looks calm enough to drive right through, especially if you have an suv or four by four. this morning, we have a powerful demonstration for you. we're about to show you how much water it takes to sweep my car away. this summer, cars washing away. drivers trapped. >> i was shaken. it's scary. it happened fast. >> reporter: it overtakes you in an instant. first, the rain. then the wall of water. from colorado to texas. >> stop, stop, stop! he needs to get out.

>> reporter: all across the country, the power of floodwaters. just too ferocious. >> oh, my god, oh, my god! >> reporter: you would be surprised how little water it takes to float a car. that's why so many people get trapped. what happens if you get trapped? how do you get out? this morning, we are about to show you. we're here in whistler on this special training course. believe it or not, they're going to turn this into a raging flood. and today, i'm playing the victim. i'm going to get inside this pickup truck. they're going to turn the water on. we're going to see how long it takes for this thing to wash away and then how will i escape? let's get going. turn it on. oh, boy. here it comes. watching everything from the side, jim douglas, certified trainer with raven rescue. how much water does it take to float a car? >> not even a foot. just this much will make a car float. >> reporter: wow, what about suvs and 4x4s? >> those big tire also make a

if you're inside and that car flips over, you've got no chance. >> reporter: life-saving advice when the flash flood strikes. it was scary. simplest advice from experts, stay out of those flooded areas all together. real simple advice. even if the water looks calm. in fact, in arizona, it is such a problem they've actually created something called the stupid motorist law. if you have been rescued after driving into floodwaters, you have to pay for the entire rescue operation yourself, which costs thousands of dollars. >> putting them at risk basically. >> yes. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. coming up next, why a lot of people are so upset about getting free concert tickets. what? right after this.

one-third of all flu vaccines given to children. flumist sprayed up the nose and pain free contains live and weakened strains of the flu virus to stimulate the immune system. the flu usually hits the very young and the elderly the hardest. depending on the strain, between 4,00050,000 people die from the flu. >> we want safety and effectiveness. this year, the safest and most effective way to vaccinate your kids and your family and pregnant women and the elderly is to take the shot. >> dr. natalie azar is an nbc news medical contributor. natalie, good to see you. >> good morning. >> just as kids are getting out of school for the summer, all happy. now you have a reason to dread fall again. what is the effectiveness of the nasal vaccine versus the injected vaccine? >> last year for the season 2015 to 2016, the estimated efficacy of the regular shot was 63% in

kids age 2 to 17 compared to 3% in the cdc study they did on over 2,000 kids. >> wow! >> those are shocking numbers and the first thing i thought was how did this get approved in the first place? the fda studies these things, the effectiveness of a vaccine. it was approved. no wwe find out it really doesn't work. >> even as recent as a couple of years ago, cdc was making a strong recommendation that the children should get the flumist because it works better than the shot. we don't have a firm explanation for the discrepancy between this study's findings and the last couple of years' data and the previous. i suspect we will find out eventually, was it a methodology issue, was it truly something with the vaccine itself? we don't know at this point. >> so if you have a child who hates needles, if you're an adult who hates needles, are you out of options? >> you are out of options for this year. cdc is strongly recommending -- i should say the advisory committee on immunization practices, which informs the guidelines, which is what the

doctors will listen to, the flumist will not be recommended for this next season. of course, the season is, will we have enough? >> that's my next question. >> they're busy manufacturing right now. the cdc said they will work with all manufacturers to make sure we have an adequate supply come fall. >> put the pedal to the metal. >> uh-huh. >> dr. natalie, thank you. let's get a check of the weather from al. >> announcer: "today's" weather is brought to you by camping world. one-stop shopping everything rv at your camping world rv super center. >> we've been watching these storms fire up all night long. they came in from illinois, making their way through west virginia. severe thunderstorm warnings all the way to coastal virginia with these severe storms. lot of airport delays, washington, d.c., baltimore as well. we've got an enhanced risk of severe weather. 34 million people at risk for severe storms, including damaging winds, hail and can't rule out an isolated tornado or two. rainfall amounts generally about an inch as you get to coastal virginia. as you get into interior

kids play at craig's house. >> how about this question? is it ever okay to just quit a job on the spot? that question is at the center of an article in the wall street journal. a growing number of employees are doing this. they're fed up, frustrated, overworked, underappreciated. forget the two weeks' notice. they're quitting right then and there on the spot. experts say sometimes a quick exit is warranted. for example, if you suspect illegal activity in your company. in other cases it burns bridges, leads to bad references and not such a good idea. >> unless they put your health, liberty or safety at risk, you give warning. >> you have to give two weeks at least. >> at least. >> who hasn't dreamed of -- i quit? >> every four or five days here. >> yeah. >> get a job as a babysitter. >> remember the old "honeymooners" episode? and furthermore, monihan, you're a bum.

giving him his [ bleep ] cell phone and having a friend who called himself. if i got in trouble for all the things that my friends called themselves i would be finished. we haven't done anything to address this crisis in domestic violence in the nfl but the [ bleep ] footballs better not be 8% lighter. >> do i agree with that? let's say ben is a tad passionate on the subject like most of new england. rolling stones finding a way to bring their act to the u.s. and bands rarely seen artifacts, open here in new york in november. it includes costumes worn by mick jaggar, even keith richards' diary. kroniccally the band's rise from the earl '60s. tickets for exhibitionalism go on sale in october. >> bill simmons' first show?

services, home-sharing platforms and handyman listings. one of those digital giggers is new york native chris gotto. >> i began hosting air bnb about five years ago. i wanted to have my own business. it was a way to help pay the rent without having a permanent roommate. >> reporter: but a number of giggers are finding long-term success. 44% of u.s. adults have used these apps either as a consumer or provider. that's over 90 million americans. this boom of small scale entrepreneurs is a result, in part, of a society that wants more and more things done on demand. and the major part of chris' work? on task rabbit. >> the things you get in terms of tasks, at least for me are what's known as available tasks, people that want things done now. >> what do you do in a routine day of doing things now for people? >> one of the major things we've done is been putting together

furniture. >> ikea furniture? >> absolutely. >> it is so hard to put together ikea furniture. >> exactly. and nobody wants to do it. >> reporter: the attraction is an obvious one, flexibility and independence. you take on as many jobs as it takes to pay the bills. but being your own boss comes at a cost. there's no steady income, benefits or paid holidays. >> i kind of look at gigging as the new temporary staffing. in many ways you're working for yourself. >> it's really building a business. >> it's absolutely building a business. >> fill in the blank for me. being a gigger has made me, blank. >> i would say more confident in being an entrepreneur. >> so in the spirit of helping out a fellow entrepreneur, i decided to make a 24-hour investment. >> you know the rules? >> i know the rules. >> here are the keys. >> okay. have a good one. >> you, too. >> so while chris headed out to continue building his business -- >> hi, chris. >> i decided to give mine a

well-deserved siesta. >> i hope you left the place in good shape. jean chatzky is here. >> i took very good care of it. >> who is a good candidate for this kind of work? >> so it's important that you actually be outgoing, be a people person. you're dealing with strangers all the time. you have to win them over with your personality in order to get good reviews. you also need to be very detail oriented and manage your listings on an hourly basis and be flksible enough to work when they want you to work. >> some people are watching thinking sign me up. how do you sign them up? >> you apply. go to the various sites. you just talked about one in trending, the babysitting service. you go to task rabbit, air bnb and apply. driving for uber, you have to get your car inspected, may have to pass some background checks. go out and look at marketplace, write your listing, figure out what you should charge based on other things in the area.

and especially for air bnb, photos are really important. chris' listing, he had more than two dozen pictures of this very small place. >> you want to make it look appealing? >> you do. >> i have to say i wondered about putting personal information online. your home, your address, things like that. >> you have to be really careful. and you have to read the find print enough to understand what sort of insurance policies are in place, what sort of protections are in place for you. and the sites differ. so an air bnb, for example, they have a million dollar liability policy in place for hosts. task rabbit is very upfront that they're just a connector for people who are providing service and people who are buying it. the liability is on you. as far as that personal information, you want to be careful what you're leaving out and about in your home or car. lot of i.d. theft happens the old-fashioned way. people just pick something up. >> the bottom line, can you really support yourself, putting together all these kinds of things? >> you are building a business

and you really have to approach it like that. put in the time and the energy. you can create a steady stream of income. otherwise for a lot of people this has become a very good way to tide them over from job to job or bring in a little extra money. >> to the nest egg. shoe budget, if you will. >> if you will. >> find more for today's start strategies at today.com. dylan over to you. just ahead, macklemore and ryan lewis live on our concert stage. the concert everyone here has been waiting for. that's all coming up after your local news and weather.

that to a woman? >> my mom went up to a woman she hadn't seen in years and was like, congratulations. you're so far along. and she was like, i'm not even a little bit far along. >> that's rough. >> yeah, that was tough. >> are you excited, though? >> yes, i'm you're guessing correctly. this is not brownies. thank you. >> she was here monday. >> and a lot of people are wondering, is she pregnant? but you didn't really know for sure. >> right. >> you can't really ask. but we assumed. she's always so statuesque and beautiful. not that she's not but she clearly looks like -- >> aside from you, savannah and my wife, there's rarely been a more beautiful woman than blake lively. wouldn't you say? did i get all three? >> four? yes. >> what about the question she posed, though? do you ever walk up to somebody and say congratulations? can i tell you, before you answer, i have learned never to say a word. >> even when they're out to here? >> no. until i see a baby i'm not

saying a word. nope. >> i was on the subway the other day and sometimes there's a gentleman who will get up for a pregnant woman to sit down on the subway. there was this guy who got up and told this woman to sit down. i don't think she was pregnant. >> maybe he was just being a gentleman. she looked tired or something. >> it's possible. he never actually said why he was giving her the seat. maybe because she was just female. >> with an do you think? do you like when people come up to you and said how far along are you? >> it hasn't really happened to me yet. >> that's sad because you told the whole world on tv. >> people are just saying congratulations. i assume it's the pregnancy thing they're talking about unless i won an award somewhere that i don't know about. yeah, i'm kind of excited for it. i want to see how the social dynamics will work when i'm clearly showing. >> what's next for you, because you're not clearly showing, what's next are the strangers coming up and patting you right on the belly. >> right. >> it's a weird thing where people think they have a right to your child. >> if they do it now, it probably is just brownies or something. >> speaking of brownies, you have something. >> and breakfast and food.

scattered throughout the morning and then dinner is like my big meal. >> i do, too. i go big with dinner. a lot of times i'll eat a massive dinner, roll into bed, read for an hour and pass out, the antithesis of what you're supposed to do. >> if you roll on your left side after a big meal, you get less heartburn. >> is that true? >> yes. >> check with a doctor. don't spread that. >> i lay on my right side, i get heartburn. i lay on my left side i'm good. >> since you are pregnant, as we mentioned, do you have cravings, especially breakfast? >> i crave things all the time. i love burgers, i love ice cream, i love brownies. i try not to eat it often. i'm always kind of craving it. and now it's sort of i just indulge in those. >> waffles and ice cream? >> waffles and ice cream. >> if only we had waffles and ice cream. >> shut up! have you ever had waffles and ice cream? it's kind of a jersey thing. >> of course. there's only one spoon which means all that is intended for only dylan.
