fireball is inspected. >> the way this works, these decks drop, these center decks, while the ride is in motion. so they have to check the hinging. >> reporter: it has to be sound because it spins and swings in a pendulum. the combination creating an aggressive thrill ride that this morning is a deadly one. records show the fireball passed inspection yesterday and a few parts replaced back in may. governor john kasich set to tour the fairgrounds later this morning. of the seven people injured, three of them are in critical condition. savannah and carson. >> so many questions, blake. by the way, in a statement fair organizers say the hearts are heavy for the families involved. >> and brittany and kylee were near when the accident occurred. good morning to you guys. i'm sure you did not have a restful night. brittany, let me start with you.

you and your sister were next in line. walk us through what you saw and what you heard. >> well, the ride was doing as normal. then all of a sudden you see people flying out and then the guy hit the emergency stop button which then made the seat fly off and other people flew off as well. >> kylee, what did you see? i can only imagine how terrifying this must have been. >> me and my sister were waiting in line. the fireball was working normally. then it swing to the left and it looked like someone's chair was kind of falling out. then the guy pushed the emergency stop switch, and then it swings to the right and the whole row broke off and they went flying. >> christy, let me ask you. you and your husband tom were at the fair at another part of it. i imagine your phone rings. walk me through that when the

girls called you. >> we were getting a backpack to put some of the things we had gotten earlier that day. i get a call. my daughter is hysterical. i can't even understand what she's saying. i think something terrible had happened. i didn't know if her sister was okay. i just ran towards the direction of the rides. there were two state troopers beside me. i don't know if they heard anything at that point. i said something terrible has happened. my daughters are -- i need to find my daughters. it was horrible. i didn't know where my girls were. i had actually gotten to the ride before i had gotten to my

girls. it was horrible. >> brittany, i'm looking at you and your sister. you're so young, and i know you saw some things nobody should have to see. how are you doing? how did you get through the night? how are you handling it? >> well, i think we pretty much cried our eyes out last night until our heads hurt and then we kind of passed out. woke up really early just running on a few hours of sleep and trying to cope it and get over it but we are truly traumatized. >> guys, we're glad you're okay, number one, and reunited with your parents. we appreciate your time this morning and hope you get some rest. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> a terrible tragedy. can you imagine? >> imagine how good it felt to hug mom, see your mom amidst that chaos. >> those having that situation, we'll continue to follow that story. another one we're following is politics and president

trump's declaration transgender people will no longer serve in the u.s. military. this sparked immediate protest and speculation there's more to this announcement than meets the eye. that complete coverage from the white house. then we'll talk to former secretary of the army. let's begin with nbc's kristen welker. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. as a candidate president trump said he would a friend of the lgtb community. now that community is accusing him of failing to live up to that promise. mr. trump reversing yet another obama era policy by banning transgender service member prompting anger and protests. this morning president trump facing a growing backlash after unexpectedly banning transgender people from serve in the u.s. military. angry protesters rallying in cities across the country. including new york city where a crowd gathered in front of the army recruitment building in times square. it was an announcement the president made in a series of tweets calling the tremendous

medical costs a burden. >> it's preposterous, terrible. >> reporter: he served as a navy s.e.a.l. two decades and came out. he calls it disrespectful. >> for all those serving, it's a huge slap in the face. >> anger on capitol hill. >> i want a strong, vibrant military and i want to be fair. the best way to do this is have a hearing not a tweet. >> the pentagon spends five times more on viagra than it does for transition related care. >> reporter: the white house said the president made the disease based on military readiness but it comes as republicans were trying to pass a spending bill which included more money for a key trump priority, building a border wall. passage of the bill was held up over a fight for medical care for trans gepder troops. congressional sources tell nbc news house members asked to

intervene but even they weren't expecting an all out ban. still, some lawmakers supportive. >> i am very pleased we'll be able to spend our precious defense dollars modernizing our military. >> while defense secretary james mattis was alerted, some in the mirth were caught off-guard. this morning neither the pentagon nor the white house can say how or when the new policy will be implemented and whether current transgender troops will be immediately discharged. as a candidate mr. trump vowed to fight for the lgtb community. >> i will do everything in my ho power to protect our lgtbq citizens. >> reporter: now those words haunting him. caitlyn jenner tweeting there are 15,000 patriotic transgender americans in the u.s. mishlt fighting for all of us.

>> reporter: transgender treatment would only amount to 0 0.13 spending. they haven't released exact numbers for transgender service members. since last year's ban was lifted several hundred asked for medical care. by some estimates there are several thousand currently cesc. so far the defense secretary hasn't currently commented on this policy. savannah. >> kristen, thank you so much. for more we're joined by eric fanning first openly gay leader of any military branch. secretary, good morning. good to see you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> first, your reaction. your reaction in your gut when you heard this ruling. >> many reactions, i think. i was disappointed, i was angry. frankly, i was shocked the commander in chief would turn his back on thousands of patriotic americans serving today. >> let me be devil's advocate because likely you don't like this decision. there are americans who think, wait a minute, why would the

pentagon, the military paying for this kind of surgery, this kind of care. what would the response be to that? >> my response is that it's a medical issue. if someone is qualified to serve, raises his or her right hand, makes that commitment to possibly put their life on the line, one of the things they get as a part of that commitment is health care. we treat this, we should treat this like any other medical issue. >> the white house has not said anything about whether this applies right now to those currently serving. so if you are a transgender individual, for example, possibly serving in afghanistan right now, how does that person feel? what is that person supposed to do? what steps would you recommend they take? >> first of all, many of us are asking questions about what this means and how you implement what it might mean, which is one of the reasons we don't tweet policy. we think through it thoughtfully, carefully, explain what it is and have a plan hu to implement it. but i think if you're a

transgender service member anywhere in the world, you are already nervous by what you're hearing. now you're probably very confused and very frightened about what future holds for you when your commander in chief tweets a message like this basically dismissing your service. >> the president spoke of the burden of these medical costs. we just spoke about that a little bit. also the disruption trans genders cause. that was his tweet. can you address those issues? >> first of all, i've never seen any evidence it support the numbers used to skplap how much this would cost. in an in telectro, it said it would increase 1. %. that's the high end. as low as 0.04%. i don't know where these larger numbers are coming from. in terms of burden, i wouldn't want to try and guess what the president means by that, but the only disruption i can think about in this entire conversation is the disruption of taking thousands of already

trained service members who are deployed, working, performing their duties with distinction and discharging them. that's going to be disruptive to the force. that's going to be very disruptive to readiness. >> finally, i have to ask you the way this all happened on twitter in realtime, the president had one tweet that said after consultation with my generals and military experts, please be advised the united states will not accept or allow... the nine minutes passes before the next that states what this is going to be. if you were still in your old job at the pentagon, what would you have thought waiting for that second tweet? >> i wouldn't have known, i wouldn't have been concerned. i wouldn't have thought it was about the transgender issue, i would have thought it was geopolitical. lucky for me, i saw all the tweet at the same time so i didn't have to imagine what he

meant. >> thank you. appreciate it. another tweet from the white house getting a lot of attention. this came from the new communications director but quickly deleted. peter alexander has more on that. peter, good morning. >> good morning. the white house not afraid to air their dirty laundry. first the president attacking his attorney general. now tweet from incoming communications director anthony scaramucci lashing out at chief of staff reince priebus. a private feud now spilling out into the public. this morning the man tasked on taking on leakers at the white house suggesting he was the district of one after newly appointed communications director financial disclosure form showing the financier has assets of $85 million. scaramucci calling the tweet a felony sending a tweet that's now deleted. in light of the leak of my financial disclosure info, which is a felony, i will be

contacting the fbi and the justice department. #swamp. he then includes the twitter handle of white house chief of staff reince priebus leaving meaning to question whether scaramucci was accusing priebus of the leak. scaramucci following up with another tweet overnight. wrong, tweet was public notice to leakers that all senior administration officials are helping to end illegal leaks, including priebus's handle again. the controversy comes amid another swing and a miss from republicans. >> yays 45, nays 55, the agreement not agreed to. >> reporter: their latest pitch to overhaul obamacare without replacement failing. today will try to rally support for skinny appeal eliminating the maybe date individuals buy insurance and large businesses provide it as well as erasing medical devices. that falls fall short of the promise to repeal and replace. now the nonpartisan budget score

keeper says the plan would leave 16 million more americans in a decade despite criticism from democrats accusing gop working in secret, republicans insist they are moving forward. this as the president keeps hammering away at his attorney general even as jeff sessions arrived for a security meeting yesterday, though aides say he debate see the president. the latest leak with the fbi and acting director asked why mr. trump doesn't fire his ag but be unhappy with them. >> he can be disappointed but still want somebody to do their job. >> rallying to defense calling the attacks a sign of weakness. >> he's trying to get sessions to quit, and i hope sessions doesn't quit because the president wants to fire him, fire him. >> the top democrat warning of dire consequences if president trump fires sessions and appoints a replacement during the august recess when no confirmation would be needed. >> i can't imagine my friends on

the republican side would be complicit in creating a constitutional crisis. >> on that topic this morning, ken starr, the special counsel who investigated president clinton in the whitewater and monica lewinsky scandals is criticizing the president's tweet. this assault on the attorney general. he wrote an op-ed in the "washington post" that says, mr. president, please cut it out. tweet to your heart's content but stop the wildly inappropriate attacks on the attorney general. also this morning the president's 2016 opponent hillary clinton just announced a new book. it's going to be a place where she says she gets candid in this tell all to be released next month revealing this month its title, "what happened." carson, savannah. >> thank you so much. >> that leads taos al, what's going to happen in the weather? >> we're going to show you what happened yesterday with a lot of heavy rain and there's more coming. look at this, in alabama just outside birmingham. cars swamped.

antibiotics. five out of six americans have prescribed them every year. usually we're told to finish the entire course even if we feel better. a new study is calling that spoke question claiming overextremity is just as dangerous as undertreatment. dr. natalie, nbc contributor. good morning to you. >> morning, savannah. >> this goes against everything we think we know about antibiotics. what does this study find? >> it's very much challenging the dogma, shorter courses are inferior. we have to get over the fear of undertreating and recognize the harm of undertreating. i don't think we need to restate over and over again the big problem with antibiotic resistance due to inappropriate use of antibiotics. >> we need to review for bacterial in fedex. >> a couple of times, an acute respiratory in fedex, only viral. we only want to be treating for

bacterial infections. where you can have your doctor culture so you know what you're sensitive to. >> there's two paths, long course and short. >> long course is going to be anywhere from 10 to 14 days. a short course as little as three to five days. >> i think we've got that right here. tell me about this. how do you know what's what. >> the nice thing about this report, they are trying to make this more evidence-based. they were able to cite studies that show, for example, strep, sore throat, people can do just as well with three to six days as opposed to ten. savannah, with your own children, it's hard to give ten days of antibiotics, so if we can get away with less, that should be the goal. >> how do you know which infection -- which is right for which. >> authors gave a couple of examples, uti s, strep throat, certain courses of pneumonia with shorter courses.

longer, we'll get to that, mono, tuberculosis, things like that. it's very important for the viewers to understand that the messaging is not necessarily just stop the antibiotics when you're feeling better. sometimes people do feel better in the first 24 to 48 hours after taking antibiotics. i know we say this a lot on air. this is definitely one of those situations where you want to communicate with your health care provider about the duration of antibiotic therapy. >> health care providers know. the long course. >> that's the thing. if you're a health care provider sort of living in a bubble and prescribing 10 days for everything because it's convention and unambiguous. take it until the course is completed, for example. it's really moving away. the guidelines moving away from that. again, longer term antibiotics you'll find interesting out there, parents, for kids under the age of two, for o advertisement itis, still for bacterial, tuberculosis,

underlying conditions of the bone, things like that because there can be ambiguity when to stop and how long to take, please communicate with your docs on this. >> that's the bottom line. >> even probably more so than ever. >> doctor, thank you so much. coming up next, how to choose a better breakfast. but first this is "today" on nbc.
