>> we must lead america in protecting and supporting our police officers. >> reporter: as more protests over deadly police shootings spilled into several cities. vice president biden telling lester holt there's anxiety and fear on both sides. >> it's real. there is institutional racism that exists throughout our society. it is getting incrementally better. but the truth is that that's not good enough. we have to keep pushing. >> reporter: today dallas police are digging through micah johnson's past trying to determine why he was stockpiling bomb making materials. >> he knew what he was doing. this wasn't some novice. >> reporter: speaking to "the blaze," in their first interview, johnson's parents say they watched their son transform from a fun loving extrovert into a hermit after his military service. >> i didn't see it coming. i love my son with all my heart. i hate what he did. >> reporter: this morning new details about how the massacre unfolded. just before 9:00 last thursday,

johnson pulls up in his car near the college campus. using pillars for cover he fires multiple rounds shooting a rapid transit officer execution style. the gun battle rages with other officers on another street corner. he shoots out a door in a locked building on campus. almost 60 students were inside. over the next several hours, s.w.a.t. teams are in a horrifying standoff across a long hallway where johnson taunts negotiators and asks how many officers he's already killed. the police chief says all the students and two of its wounded officers survived. >> i'm extremely proud of them and extremely proud of all the members of the dallas police department. >> reporter: a night that weighs on trauma surgeon brian williams. >> i think about it every day. that i was unable to save those cops when they came here that night. this killing, it has to stop. >> reporter: as this memorial xwr grows, the police chief says he

and his officers are running on fumes and another neighboring department will assist with security here along with the secret service, of course. then several of the funerals for the fallen officers are scheduled for tomorrow and thursday. >> hard days in dallas. it is a big day in the presidential race as well. bernie sanders joining one-time rival hillary clinton on the campaign trail for the first time. and this morning, speculation is heating up over both clinton and donald trump's potential running mates. we have it all covered. start with nbc's andrea mitchell. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. a month after she wrabd pped upe nomination, hillary clinton is final will i getting bernie sanders' endorsement today here in new hampshire, a battleground state where he trounced her in the primary. at last for team clinton, the civil war with bernie sanders, the last democratic holdout is over. weeks after his battled progressionive elizabeth warren embraced clinton. >> i'm here today because -- i'm

with her. yes, her. >> reporter: bernie sanders even waiting until after president obama on the stump. sanders and clinton not exactly a match made in heaven. >> wait a minute. i have stood on the debate stage with senator sanders -- >> excuse me. will secretary -- senator? >> reporter: now clinton, echoing sanders' economic themes about the rich. >> they are doing better than ever. corporate profits are up. whereas so many americans are stalled or have fallen backwards. >> reporter: making concessions on the party platform, agreeing to a $15 an hour minimum wage, free college public tuition but pegged to family income, a public option odded to obamacare. but will sanders followers be enthusiastic about a democrat many vowed they'd never support. >> the more hillary clinton keeps the volume high on big, bold progressive ideas, the more enthusiastic bernie sanders supporters will be going into november. >> reporter: will sanders fire up young people for clinton

after promising them a revolution. >> it is about creating a political revolution. >> reporter: with the party united, clinton can focus on choosing a running mate. a safe choice like senator tim kaine. >> democrats are coming together around our candidate and to win in november, republicans are jumping ship. >> reporter: not interested, joe biden. unable because of his son's death to mount his own campaign for the white house. >> i have great respect for hillary. i'm going to work like the devil for her but i'm not looking to be vice president again and no one has talked to me. >> reporter: sanders' endorsement is a almost plus for clinton, especially right now. in our new nbc news fbz survey monkey online poll she only has a three-point lead over donald trump today. no doubt reflecting the damage from that blistering fbi report on her e-mails. savannah and matt? >> andrea, thank you. as for donald trump, his vice presidential pick could come any day now. nbc's halle jackson is in

cleveland where the republican convention gets under way less than a week now. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: hi, savannah. good morning. this is one of the biggest decisions a candidate can make. donald trump is now promising that decision by the end of this week. the countdown to a running mate now on with the convention here in cleveland just six days away. down to the final four, speculation swirling about donald trump's vp pick. but newly revealed audio from 2008 shows back then he thought his current rival would make a decent running mate. the "wall street journal report"ing these comments about hillary clinton. >> well, i know her and she'd make a good president or a good vice president. >> reporter: a very different tone from trump now. >> crooked hillary clinton. >> reporter: as he looks for a vice president to play attack dog. indiana governor mike pence trying out for the role tonight when he appears with trump at a rally outside indianapolis. >> the very idea that we would be considered along with a number of other distinguished

americans for that position is very humbling. >> reporter: another contender, newt gingrich, tells nbc news the vp announcement could come in 48 hours. but gingrich says even if he's offered a spot, he's not an automatic yes. >> would want to talk through exactly what does he have in mind. >> reporter: trump himself playing coy with short list specifics. noncommittal on former general mike flynn. >> he's militarily excellent and i think he's a great guy. that doesn't mean i'm going to be choosing him but he's one of the people i look at. >> reporter: but trump tells "the washington post" he wants someone more political. maybe new jersey governor chris christie. >> good afternoon. >> reporter: auditioning in virginia as trump in his most recent remarks tries to strike a balance on recent police shootings, acknowledging concerns from both officers and protesters. >> not only am i the law and order candidate, but i'm also the candidate of compassion. believe it. >> reporter: he's now predicting more violent protests this

summer as security presence intensify in cleveland. the convention just six days out. with trump still struggling to bring together the gop. one former rival now vowing to sit this election out. >> neither for me. you're not going to get me to change that. >> reporter: jeb bush also telling our nicolle wallace he believes conservatism is dead. at least temporarily. and that concern with the gop presumptive nominee reflected to a degree here in cleveland where some delegates now starting to arrive are ready for a fight. the never-trump movement's last stand. it is not likely they'll have any success in trying to oust trump but they are getting back-up this morning from the senator from nebraska, matt sass, now urging delegates to fight for the conservative principles they believe in. >> halle, thank you. let us bring in nicolle wallace who was just mentioned. and bloomberg politics managing editor mark halperin who's

already in cleveland. good morning. jeb bush says he thinks conservatism is dead. a lot in the republican party are worried about that with donald trump as their nominee. do you get the sense as he zeros in on a running mate that there is more at stake for him in this choice than there is for hillary clinton? >> i do. i think we focus on the names and play this guessing game, but i think the central decision is which way does he go? does he try to solve his one political problem which is that people like jeb bush don't think he's a real conservative? or does he try to underscore the brand that won him the nomination which is that he's an unpredictable wild card who's going to shake up washington. there are two very different paths. >> mark, i think that question was set up absolutely perfectly. assuming that a vp pick addresses some perceived deficit in the candidate, in your mind, what is the vulnerability that trump most badly needs to address with his vp pick? >> well, trump's biggest vulnerability goes to the main reason anyone should pick their running mate which is someone

who's perceived right away as someone who's qualified to be president. i think the bigge egest problem donald trump has is will he govern in a serious way if he is elected. al gore, dick cheney, joe biden, all of them when they were picked faced criticism but not one critic said that guy's not ready. think that's what is what trump should do. i think that's what he will do, pick someone who people see as ready to be president. >> let's make you go out on a limb a little bit more. could those names we're hearing more than any others, who's ready? >> pence is a governor. republicans love their governors. he's viewed -- i think we put him in the safe category. that's the safe choice. christie's probably the one that in his gut he probably most wants to pick. he's been the closest thing to a partner that he's had as a candidate but he has some baggage with bridgegate. i'd put gingrich and flynn

behind those two. >> mark, is there someone you think atop of trump's list? >> let me check my devices. make sure there is no last-minute information. i think mike pence is. i think if trump goes with his gut and his feelings he'll pick christie. if he goes with his head -- i think it is possible the show man has a surprise in his back pocket. pence. >> let me ask you about hillary clinton and the endorsement by bernie sanders. it's been more than 30 days and sanders is finally coming around. can he convincingly endorse her and make that sales pitch for her today, mark? >> i think sanders is warm and fuzzy today and he's going to pull it off. he's not, right? he's not one that normally shows a lot of embrace. but look, his supporters are serious and there's policy differences still between sanders and clinton. much more than there ever were between obama and clinton. i think a lot of his supporters will be disappointed but today

will go a long way towards bringing many of his people into the tent. clinton needs them. >> nicolle, is bernie sanders going to be warm and fuzzy today? >> no way. >> mark, thank you. nicolle, thank you as well. a michigan courthouse will be closed today in the wake of a deadly shooting. an inmate being moved from a holding cell managed to wrestle a gun away from a sheriff's deputy, opened fire killing two bailiffs and injuring at least two others. here's nbc's ron mott with the story. >> officer down! officer down! >> reporter: this morning the berrien county courthouse is the newest addition to america's mass shooting catalog. caught on cell phone video from the parking lot outside. when it was over, an inmate had shot and killed two bailiffs, joseph zangaro, 61, and ron kienzle, 63, both retired cops. >> our hearts are torn apart. they were our friends. they were my colleagues. i have known them for over 30

years. >> reporter: officials say the shooter, 45-year-old larry darnell gordon, was in custody and being escorted from a holding cell to a court appearance when he grabbed a sheriff deputy's gun and opened fire. they say he also tried to take hostages. the deputy, 41-year-old father of five, james atterberry jr., was wounded in the arm. a female civilian was also struck by gunfire. the gunman's ex-wife speaking out. >> i don't want the press to paint a picture of him as an angry and violent person. nobody knows the truth because they weren't there. >> not everybody that goes into the courtroom is handcuffed. >> reporter: new concerns and questions this morning on the latest in a deadly stretch of confrontations between law enforcement and people they're sworn to protect and serve. for "today," ron mott, nbc news, st. joseph, michigan. there are some big developments in the uk this week. teresa may is set to become britain's second female prime minister after margaret that

mucher. tomorrow after only her only competitor withdrew from the race. may will replace david cameron who announced his resignation following that brexit referendum. cameron initially said he'd step up by october but moved up the timeline when may was left with a clear path to the office. the conservative party leader said monday she's honored and humbled to be chosen. here at home, attorney general loretta lynch is in the hot seat today on capitol hill. a house judiciary committee expected to grill lynch over her controversial meeting with former president bill clinton as well as the department's decision not to bring charges against hillary clinton for using private e-mails while serving as secretary of state. committee's also likely to ask lynch about police interactions with the minority community following a violent week that brought that issue to the forefront. we have some important news for millions of drivers today. new tests show small suvs did poorly in headlight tests. insurance institute for highway

phenomenon and the problems it's causing. >> that's right. the game is hugely popular. many don't realize your safety could be at stake. experts say it is more than just bumps and bruises from running into someone or something but there are also privacy and security red flags. pokemon go has been out for just six days and it's become a national addiction. it surpassed twitter, tinder and snapshot going to number one in the apple and android app stores. but what many parents and kids don't realize when they're on the app is that there are security risks that may come with the game. >> look. i got it. i got it. you see that? >> reporter: while the app fosters real-life social interactions it can also attract unwanted strangers. this 17-year-old says he and his friends are all completely obsessed with pokemon go. >> it is basically the main stat cuss quo for everyone around us right now, are you playing pokemon go, what team are you on, how much pokemon do you

innocent. that belief should not persuade anybody that he is innocent. what people should be persuaded by is the facts and that's been one of the pitfalls of this epic story from the beginning. this story, particularly for journalists, was "too good to fact check." >> skakel was convicted in part based on evidence that over the years his story changed and statements he made to classmates and acquaintances at a reform school. kennedy says there are new witnesses who say the confessions never happened. according to robert kennedy jr., the facts show that michael skakel has an air-tight alibi. >> one the most powerful pieces of evidence is that he could not have done it because he was 11 miles away with five eyewitnesses, plus there was another eight witnesses at the house where the murder took place who never saw him the entire evening after they saw him leave. >> over the years, what's been said is he has an alibi that's been sworn to by his friends and his family. that made people nervous. >> you know, that's an

argument -- that's a plausible argument that all of the skakels were somehow involved in -- >> circling the wagons. >> -- this conspiracy to protect one of their own, which, by the way, anybody who knows the skakels, these are people who are extremely -- all of them -- very, very pious catholics. they would never, ever lapse into the kind of perverse family community to protect somebody who committed a murder. but even if they were inclined to do that, they -- the family is very, very chaotic and they lack the organizational discipline to maintain that kind of conspiracy over three decades. >> but kennedy believes family connections may have played a role in feeding a media frenzy which aided in skakel's conviction. >> in all of the articles he was described as kennedy cousin michael skakel. that became his new first name. >> you have said in fact you feel responsible in a small way for his conviction. >> well, i don't feel

responsible, personally responsible for it -- >> the kennedy family. >> right. i think that michael skakel would not be in jail if people had not been able to call him kennedy cousin. >> in "framed," kennedy goes so far as to lay the blame of martha moxley's murder at the feet of two men who have never been suspects at all. explain who they were. >> they were two city kids, one caucasian and one african-american, who were brought that night -- who went to greenwich that night. >> these two men were introduced to the rarefied air of greenwich's bell haven neighborhood by the cousin of kobe bryant and a former classmate of the skakels shown here being interviewed by michael's defense team. >> well, their words were that we're going to go caveman on her. and that meant that, according to bryant, that meant hitting her over the head, dragging l g into the bushes and sexually assaulting her. >> did anyone see these two on

that night, october 30, 1975, in the bell haven section of greenwich? >> only tony bryant saw them that night. >> there's never been any evidence introduced to tie the men to the murder and judges have rejected bryant's claims before. while one of the men kennedy points the finger at didn't respond to our requests for comment, in the past both men have denied any involvement in moxley's murder. the lawyer for one man says his client is innocent. >> everything i know from everything i've read, from everything i've heard, from everything i've investigated, and from everything i know, al hasbrook had absolutely nothing to do with this case. period, full stop. >> despite this, kennedy doesn't fear any legal consequences for himself. >> so having just said what you said, do you expect them to sue you now that this book is out? >> if they're innocent, they should sue me. >> you'd like to see that? >> i'd like to see that. i would love to depose them. >> this book is going to open up

a lot of old wounds. just full disclosure, i went to high school in greenwich and was just a few months removed. just my first couple of months in college when this happened. >> but you remember it well. >> i really do. >> it's so interesting, it seems almost that he's daring these people he's naming to sue him because he'd like to see this litigated in a court. >> no question. then we'll have more on that. you can see more of our interview with robert kennedy jr. friday night on "dateline" at 10:00, 9:00 central time, right here on nbc. coming up, can you guess who is number one? the new list of the world's highest paid celebrities. there are some surprises on this a leading consumer testing publication recently tested the top laundry detergents. the winner - persil 2 in 1, didn't only beat tide... it beat every single detergent tested. boom. switch to persil proclean 2 in 1. #1 rated.

if there's something strange in the neighborhood, who you gonna call? you're gonna call al roker and "ghostbusters." that's right. al is living a dream right now. getting to drive the ecto-1 with real life ghostbuster melissa mccarthy, director of the new movie.

>> this is the roller dream sequence. come on out. we've got melissa mccarthy here. we also have the other stars, kristin wig, leslie jones and kate mckinnen. they are here as well. we can't wait to catch up with them. >> to say that al roker has been waiting for that moment for a long time is an understatement. >> just a bit. just a bit. >> we are so excited. >> jenna bush hager is here. first, before we go for a tour of the stay puff marshmallow man, al roker is going to give you the weather. >> let's show you what's going on as far as your weather's concerned. we are looking today at some spooky stuff, especially if you're in the mid plains.

we've got a risk of strong storms. look for some wet weather in the pacific northwest and some strong storms also hit or miss through the gulf coast. continuing tomorrow with the risk of strong storms from iowa all the way into northern indiana and parts of michigan. beautiful weather in the pacific northwest, nice and toasty there. you have some showers and storms making their way into the mid-at good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. a warm, sunny day. don't forget your sunglasses. owl this afternoon for philadelphia. look at the sunshine for allentown and a few clouds will be clearing in easten. 89 this afternoon. for new jersey, upper 80s for hamilton township. at the shore the low 80s for atlantic city. 82 degrees. upper 80s and lots of sunshine for fort wilmington. have a great day! need, go to whether channel on

cable. good advice, mr. roker. why don't you start us off. >> if you can't tell, we're more than just a little bit excited that the cast of the new "ghostbusters" and their director are with us today. >> it's been 32 years since the original hit theaters becoming a cultural phenomenon in mr. roker's house. "ghostbusters" have been summoned again to battle spirits and they're bigger and better than ever. take a look. >> okay, power up. ♪ >> melissa mccarthy, kristin wig, kate mick kin nonckinnon,

jones, the director. i want to tell you, you are among friends here. al and i quote some line from the original movie once an hour. does that give you comfort or make you nervous? >> write in tright in the middl. >> kind of creepy. >> we've seen it. are you happy? >> oh, my grosh. are you kidding? yes. thrilled. >> i feel like it is a documentary of a summer that we all had that was like a camp experience and it's just like a photo album of all the fun we had. for me that's what it is. >> but a bit daunting. it is a bit daunting to take this on. paul, what was your goal? did you want to kind of pay homage to the original? did you want to create a movie that goes in its own direction? what were you looking to do? >> little bit of both. we loved the original movie so much so we wanted to have elements of that but we wanted to make it our own story so these four incredible talents could shine. i mainly wanted to make a movie people could have fun for two hours. >> there is this terrific

camaraderie. i was on the set and saw you guys together. there is a little bit of a through-put with "snl." did that help, the improv, with the movie? >> definitely knowing each other before it was like oh, my god, this poor paul. i think so, yeah. >> there is a level -- instead of working the whole movie to kind of get used to each other we all knew each other and we're so similar and yet different enough that it stays interesting. it's just -- yeah. it made it easy. . >> i listened to what dan aykro aykroyd, one of the original "ghostbusters" said after he saw the movie, he said he thought there were more laughs and more scares in this one. how much has the advancement of technology allowed to make those scares bigger? >> it really helps us. but the other thing we did, i made sure a lot of our ghosts are actually played by actors in full costume and makeup. then we just gently enhance it so they can act with real

people. >> go down the line and give me a couple of adjectives and super latives about the character you play. >> sexy and real. >> my character i guess is like a fun whacko? >> yeah! >> she's way out there. >> so far out. >> thank you, al. >> i would say a little straight-laced and probably has bran cereal for breakfast. >> i never thought of it that way. >> i would say i'm pretty steadfast and she may eat a hot dog for breakfast. if we're playing that game. and not see anything wrong with it. >> we're not giving anything away. are you all up for a sequel? >> oh, my goodness. >> you went there. >> it's like after the first

one, you don't ask do you want a second? >> that's the time to ask, when everybody's feeling good. >> did you guys get together at some point in the process and say, by the way i, kristin will get slimed more than anyone else? it looks like you took the brunt of the slime. >> in the script when i read it, i was like, cool, my character gets slimed the most. after the first time i was like -- can we -- no, it's fun. because it is such a big part of the original but it is tough to get off. >> after years on "snl," after other projects together, after being on the set for this movie, let's play a little game to see how well you know each other. answer simply by pointing fingers. which one of the cast members here is most likely to crack up the cast by making an embarrassing bodily noise. which one is most likely to crack the others up by making an obscene gesture?

which one is most likely -- paul, you can take part in this -- to mess up her lines? send text messages complete with emojis. >> me? who? me? >> drink milk from the carton and put the milk back in the refrigerator? >> i'm a lady! >> finally, as al just said, which one most likely to be part of the sequel to this movie? can we mention, al does have a cameo in this movie. >> fantastic. >> yes. i got slimed. it is not pleasant. >> it's not. >> i told you!

i've been more than you. >> i'm still finding some. >> we're so happy to have you all. we've been waiting so long. thank you, thank you, thank you! good luck. paul will be back in our next hour. "ghostbusters" opens in theaters this friday. up next, we'll explain the news that bread can give you energy. but first this is a "ghostbusters" tuesday on nbc. i survived breast cancer. if the doctors hadn't caught it early i might not be sitting here. so i'm outraged that pat toomey voted to defund planned parenthood... ...which thousands of pennsylvania women depend on for cancer screenings. pat toomey was even willing to shut down the federal government to eliminate funding for planned parenthood. shut down the government over planned parenthood? i think we ought to shut down pat toomey. women vote is responsible for the content of this advertising.

"the black widow." in it gabriel recruits a beautiful jewish doctor to infiltrate isis. daniel, good morning to you. when i say ripped from the headlines, we really mean it.

this starts with an attack by islamic militants in paris, which of course we now know happened in november. >> i started working on the book in july of last year. before isis had really gone international. they had not gone global. they were a regional menace. they were active in syria and iraq, but i felt it was really only a matter of time. as i looked at the recruitment patterns and what was really going on in europe, i thought that paris was likely to be first target. i thought that militants from neighboring belgium would play a role. i wrote the beginning of the novel and in november it literally came true. >> your heart must have sunk. >> it did. i was working on the book. i have ooh residence in washington literally around the corner from the french embassy. to watch the flowers piling and piling up at that memorial and to see the french embassy so under guard in our nation's capital, i considered setting aside the book waiting a year to write it. i decided to finish it as i conceived it. >> it is another book -- of

course it is a gabriel alone thriller. but you have a female heroin who kind of takes center stage. >> i sort of structured the book differently and i moved my long-time heroin to the side for a couple hundred pages and i sent a woman -- a westerner -- into the caliphate. i recruited her, turned her from a jewish -- french-jewish doctor into a palestinian-arab militant and fed her into the belly of the beast. and it was -- i have a reputation of going to all the places that i write about. suffice it to say, i did not go to the caliphate to set those scenes but it was an interesting writing exercise. >> probably a good choice. i wouldn't really recommend going to syria at the moment. >> no. >> you mentioned international locales. i always get a kick out of this because you do go to some pretty cool places in the name of research. >> i do. >> you have sardinia in this book. >> santorini.

israel. lots of french settings. and, unfortunately, the united states. i chose to set the climax of this book in the united states. >> yeah. >> in washington. >> it is very powerful an area you know well, of course. let me shift gears. this is the part of the segment we like to call "tease the writer." last time you were here we were teasing you because you have three offices and you're such a creature of habit that you have them outfitted the same. same furniture, right? >> same desk. >> same writing outfits. >> same writing outfits. same pencil holder. same stapler in exactly the same place. >> now we're going to mention one other quirky thing about you, which is you write the first draft of your novels on yellow legal pads. why? >> for me it is just a pacing thing that i can -- i like to write in pencil on yellow legal pads. then i take that and i enter that. but to me just the quietness of writing in pencil, the legal pad

never crashes. it never eats your copy. if the power goes out you don't lose a day's work. when i finish a novel i do have a stack of legal pads about that high and i could go through and piece it together and -- but most of the book would be there. >> you also say that you, having written all of these novels with this central character, that you really remember every word you've ever written. >> yes, i do. >> well, let's put that to the test, shall we? what year did gabriel start working for the office? >> he was recruited -- >> there are your choices. >> it's easy. b. because he was recruited after the munich olympics massacre to go after black september. >> ding ding. where did gabriel meet his wife? >> easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. >> you're basically doing an ends dance right now. what was the name of gabriel's first mission, fallen angel,

rembrandt's revenge or wrath of god. >> is this really a quiz? c, charlie. c! wrath of god. >> you know what you wrote. good. nice to have you here. >> thank you. it is wonderful. >> the book's called "black widow." daniel, always good to have you here. next, surprising benefits of -- get this -- bread. but first this is today on nbc.

♪ roll all summer with a classic -- dunkin's savory pork roll breakfast sandwich is back. crave it while you can. america runs on dunkin'.

we are back now, 8:48. today's food trend this morning, a rising star -- bread. >> i love bread. some say a new way of baking it gives it more health benefits than any other food group. jenna bush hager is here with more on that. is this true? >> i think so. call me carb crazy so i like to hear health benefits. bakeries across the country are singing the praises of freshly milled whole grain flour saying that it makes breads and pastries not only taste better

but better for you. at josie's bakers in san francisco, 48 hours of milling, mixing, shaking and baking go into every slice of bread. >> we freshly mill all of our whole grain flour. all of the wheat that we use is grown just a couple hours from the bakery. >> reporter: freshly milled flour, the foundation for coast and loaves, from whole wheat cinnamon raisin to black pepper parmesan. >> the way we make bread is the same techniques as the very first loaf of bread. taking a grain and grinding it into a powder, pfermenting it ad baking it into bread. >> reporter: part of a growing consumer consciousness and demand to simplify the foods we eat. >> i don't think there's been a time in the history of america when there's been better bread. experts claim that freshly milled breads have more vitamins and nutrients and fiber and antioxidants. for me it just comes down to taste and these taste better.

>> reporter: but it all starts with the grain. don lewis has been farming and baking with wheat for three decades. >> when you stone mill, you are able to keep the nutritional value of the whole grain within the flour. along with the flavor. >> the downside to a lot of the freshly milled flours is it has a shorter shelf life and also the nutrients and vitamins go away more quickly. >> reporter: at the bread lab in brooklyn, new york, chef adam leonti experiments with the whole grain in everything from pastas to pastries. and since working with the freshly milled flour, he says his health has improved, losing weight and gaining energy. >> i have certainly seen change in energy. >> reporter: he is not the only one preaching the benefits of freshly milled flour. this bread in portland, oregon uses 100% whole grain, saltwater and sourdough. olive rosemary loaf and rye made with house milled rye flour. in philadelphia, philly bread

bakes up english muffins using locally sourced and freshly ground grains. >> i think what we're going to see is people going old school and taking back grains the way they were 1 00 years ago and doing it on their own. >> reporter: all in the name of better bread. oh, yeah. bread like this from bread alone, a local bakery in upstate new york can be found at whole foods markets. but look for your neighborhood bakeries. they're using whole grains in their breads. while the loaves can be a little bit more expensive, experts say you're getting more fiber, minerals and antioxidants with less of the starchy part that people -- that helps gain weight. also people with gluten intolerances can't handle. my husband, by the way, says if he can bury me in a baguette i'd be happy. now we know some of these breads are better for you than other things? dig in. i brought this -- i came bearing bread for all of you.

>> should eat this, it is the "yeast" of our worries. >> thank you. we're back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc. when you're the parent of a disabled child, you realize that the world can be a harsh place. but you also realize it can be a really loving, wonderful place. when i saw donald trump mock somebody who was disabled, i was appalled. you gotta see this guy... ahh, i don't know what i said, ahh, i don't remember! that reporter suffers from a chronic condition that impairs movement of his arms. it told me everything i need to know about his heart and what he believes deep down. priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising.

all right, welcome back. look who we have on the couch, emma roberts and dave franco starring in a new movie. good morning, guys. we've been talking about this pokemon app all morning. but actually your movie is premised on an app that basically dares people to do crazy things. how does it work? >> okay. so let's run through the premise really quickly. it's -- nerd is an online game, pops up in a city for 24 hours. in our movie it is new york and basically you pay to be a player or watcher. if you're a player, then the watchers take information about you that's online, whether it be your twitter, facebook, instagram and they use that information against you to give you theirs that you would want to do. if they find out you're afraid of heights, they'll put you at the top of a skyscraper. >> with this pokemon go thing being, we're like ten minutes away from a movie coming to fruition in real life. it is frightening it could be like that. >> literally. when i read this script i was

like is this based on -- is this real? am i out of the loop? is this a real game because it feels very grounded because with social media, everyone is just doing crazier things to get more followers. >> but your character is the least likely person to engage in this. >> yeah, she is. she's from staten island and kind of gets roped into playing this game because she wants to prove to her friends she's brave and daring. the first few dares start out innocently and then it just progresses into dangerous territory. >> isn't one of the dares to kind of run in your underwear through some kind of store? >> yes. that's correct. bergdorf's. yeah. >> how did that go? >> that wasn't very fun. >> which one of you is better at that? >> neither of us. >> i was trying to hide behind him the whole time. but also it took two days to film. you see it in the movie for five minutes? i was running around in my bra and underwear for two days. >> that nightmare we all have.

trend. >> in case you don't know, pokemon mania, pokemon go mania sweeping the nation. you don't load it on to your phone. the game's been out six days. it's already surpassed tinder and snapchat. >> i can't be in. >> the idea is you go outside and you play amongst local landmarks to unlock battles, join new teams. there are some safety concerns being raised. any user can create what they call a lure spot. okay? so that brings people, players, to an area, specific geographic area. police are warning krins a inine using the app to lure players to unfamiliar places. which is not good. in my day they called that a trap. >> you pretty much have been marked. >> i think we've got this one

live. >> yeah. you're chasing a purple worm. >> i want to see him. >> look on the tv. >> can he come say hi to me? >> he's not real. >> he a 's real on his phone. >> just look at the screen. >> this is the thing. i've been away for five days, i came back and pokemon has taken over. >> did you go to mars? >> no. >> it is an age thing. my girlfriend, carmen, who's around my age. she called. her sons are 15 and 14 and they're pokemon obsessed. this is a problem in the home. >> my son, nick, is away at camp with a camp that allows no phones, texting, anything. he doesn't know this is -- >> how much time would that take? >> he'd be wandering the streets. this is crazy -- this thing

found a corpse. >> yeah. someone stumbled across a corpse. >> while, that takes it to a whole different place. let's go to music. >> just wanted to throw that out. if you're not afraid enough. this issing ingsomething my da always say to me. how is it you can remember every song on the radio but you can't remember your homework or your math problem. >> because you don't care about that. >> 100% right. >> so true. new research -- new. there's research that proved why you were able to remember the lyrics to your favorite song and other things just go out the window. turns out we can blame our brain's preferences that more attractive something is to our attention the more likely we are to remember it. which makes perfect sense. we have a psychological connection to music in general, particularly when it comes to songs from our past. so that makes those lyrics more likely to stick in your head forever. it is a song maybe that you liked in high school or the prom theme song. you'll more likely remember that, especially if you liked your prom date, than -- got to

throw that in. >> what's your song? >> aretha franklin "chain of foo fools." >> can you sing every word is this. >> i can. but in my mind when i sing it, i turn into aretha franklin. there i am. >> but you always have your purse with you. >> i have my handbag with me, my mink coat on and i just break into it. i knew this would be your song. >> "philadelphia freedom" by elton john. i was a sophomore in college, 1974. i had my brother chris with me for almost a month. he was 3 weecame home singing a philadelphia cream cheese. >> that's really great. mine is going to my texas childhood, even though he is from oklahoma -- garth brooks and "the thunder rolls." ♪ and the lightning strikes >> does garth sing that? >> yes.

>> you should let him. >> last time i come here. i would be sitting in my room playing the tape -- i had the tape. >> do you, when you sing -- because we're both texas girls. >> can you do it? ♪ thunder rolls >> no. but when you sing texas music do you feel like some texas energy comes out? >> i do. do you? >> i feel the same way. >> the other thing is you remember one hit wonders. like "ace of base" for example. ♪ i opened up my eyes ♪ i saw the sign >> they were songs they played on radio for months, but then you never heard them again. >> garth brooks just sold out yankee stadium. >> believe me, i wanted to be there. >> you should call him up. >> you know how i know garth brooks was there? my director from the weather channel, matt miller -- was there and told me that. good to see, matt. all right, so here we go.
