morning starting with nbc's kelly o'donnell in new jersey. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president trump worked the phones late into the evening friday. he called the president of china to seek his help and his influence over north korea. the white house says both leaders are committed to removing the nuclear threat from the korean peninsula. the president also called the governor of guam to promise that he will keep the american island safe. while president trump's own words have been part of turning up the heat. the president unplugged. >> if anything happens to guam, there's going to be big, big trouble in north korea. >> reporter: stepping outside his bedminster club after meeting with his security team friday evening, the president took questions for a fourth time in just two days. often focused on stepped up tensions with north korea's kim jong-un. >> this man will not get away with what he's doing, believe

me. >> reporter: alternating his tone from combative to calm. >> nobody loves a peaceful solution better than president trump. >> reporter: the president would not discuss any military planning in response to the regime's progress with a miniaturized nuclear weapon and its threats to launch missiles toward the u.s. island of guam. he did not repeat his most incendiary language from this week. >> they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> reporter: or his friday tweet that military solutions are "locked and loaded." but the president rejected criticism that his words are making things worse. >> my critics are only saying that because it's me. if somebody else uttered the exact same words i uttered, they would say "what a great statement." >> reporter: wielding his authority as commander in chief, the president surprisingly threatened to engage u.s. forces in the political crisis ripping venezuela.

>> we have many options for venezuela, including a possible military option if necessary. >> reporter: on north korea, secretary of state rex tillerson suggested the president's blunt and bellicose style could hasten a diplomatic result. >> what the president's doing is trying to support our efforts by ensuring north korea understands what the stakes are. >> reporter: and today as the president continues his time at his bedminster home, he is expected to have another on-camera event. this time it's related to a veterans affairs bill that he's going to sign. given the pattern of the last few days, it seems likely the president may be willing to talk about world affairs and give us the latest update on north korea. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you. people in guam this morning are getting a stark warning about this potential life-and-death standoff. homeland security officials releasing safety guidelines in the event of an attack. nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer is in guam again

this morning for us. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. the local government here is trying to walk a fine line, telling everyone here they are safe while also releasing that sobering two-page fact sheet they mentioned on what to do if a missile strike were to happen. it's not exactly beach reading. today guam's governor speaking to president trump. a reassuring phone call from some 8,000 miles away. >> we are with you 1,000%. are you safe. >> reporter: but on the beaches of this small island, the 15,000 tourists who are here every day likely never thought they'd see anything like this. with north korea threatening to blast four ballistic missiles toward hear it tiny island, this striking -- toward this tiny island, this striking warning in the event an attack is launched -- do not look at the flash or fireball. it can blind you. take cover under a concrete

structure or below ground. and if caught outside, shower with lots of soap and shampoo to help remove radioactive contamination. >> it's alarming. >> reporter: even for locals, a jolt of reality. >> the threat -- just live your day, your daily lives. if it happens, it happens. >> reporter: north korea and the united states are already in a war of words. north korea says to strike fear in the u.s. they could send ballistic missiles 20 miles off the coast within days. 20 miles out at sea is a long distance. those on shore may never see the attack, but they would feel the impact. if the missiles took 14 minutes to arrive as the government says -- [ siren ] -- these safety sirens would relay the threat and signal a move to higher ground. flashbacks of the cold war when horns would blair and the drill

was duck and cover. still officials here insist the island is secure. with tourism here in full swing and many hotels sold out, many are trying to figure out what the rhetoric means. as to those who live here full time, they say there's nothing more they can do here other than sit and wait. craig? >> miguel almaguer with us from guam. thank you. airjeremy bash is a correspondent for nbc news and former chief of staff flea under president bush and president obama. good morning to you. >> good morning, guys. >> miguel was talking about the rhetoric. there's a lot of scary, tough talk right now. how real is this potential for either escalated military action or even a potential strike? >> very real, and also the potential for miscalculation. what the president of the united states has effectively done is -- remember the line in the sand? he's effectively drawn a line in the ocean. he has said that if any missiles come toward a u.s. territory like guam or hawaii where i am

now, that is in effect a trigger that will force the president to conduct military action against north korea. i think he has boxed himself in. he has established a real line here, and i think if the north koreans cross it, we're looking at a potential military conflict. >> you mentioned you're there in hawaii. what are they saying about all of this? i would imagine their perspective's unique. and also, you know, based on your background, at the pentagon specifically in this case, what do we know for certain about north korea's nuclear capabilities? >> reporter: first, craig, hawaii is not just a potential target for north korea's icbms. they are -- here's also where any military action would be planned because if an order came from the president to the pentagon, it would go directly to admiral harry harris, commander of the u.s. pacific command. they're, of course, located here at camp smith outside honolulu. so this is not just a target but is also a military action to be planned.

as to north korea's capabilities, right now i think the consensus is that they do have missiles that could potentially fly and hit the mainland of the united states. whether they can miniaturize a nuclear weapon and put on top of those missiles, that's unknown. i should add that what triggered the latest escalation was a press report that north korea had done that miniaturization. i think if the president is contemplating military action, he needs to come forward and make clear what that intelligence really is. >> if we talk on our options, how hard would it be to take out their nuclear programs, or at least what would the fallout be with something like that? >> sheinelle, it would be impossible for us to completely take out their missile and nuclear program. we don't know where all the locations are. many are buried. many of them are hardened. i think what's probably being considered now at the white house is a surgical strike. one or two strikes against a missile if we see it poised to be launched. that, again, is dangerous because that could very quickly lead to all-out war.

>> people holding their breath. jeremy bash, thank you. meanwhile at home, tensions are running high with thousands of white nationalists descending on charlottesville, virginia, to protest the removal of a statue of confederate leader robert e. lee. overnight, hundreds of far-right protesters marched across the university of virginia campus and clashed with counte counter-protesters ahead of today's rally. maya rodriguez in charlottesville with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, craig. this is the heart of today's rally -- emancipation park. until recently it was called robert e. lee park. his statue is still actually in the park. it's part of the ongoing fight here about removing confederate monuments in public spaces. and today, thousands are expected here.

weeks in charlottesville on. july 8th, dozens of members of the kkk gathered to protest the city's attempt to remove the statue of robert e. lee from a park. they were greeted by large numbers of counter-protesters. police deployed teargas toward the end of the rally. the police chief vowing this time will be different. [ chants ] >> the circumstances are different, and we did learn a number of lessons that we will apply. this is a completely different event that we are planning for. >> reporter: in a statement, virginia's governor also asked people on both sides to find an alternative to coming to the rally. he also put the virginia national guard on standby. craig? >> maya rodriguez for us. thank you. now to the story you've been waiting for this morning. the massive mega millions jackpot and the winning numbers drawn friday. someone is waking up a winner in illinois this morning. if it's not you, you still have a chance to win hundreds of millions of dollars tonight. >> still hope. >> morgan radford -- there's still time, morgan.

>> that's right. you still have time. there is lots of money that is up for grabs because this is lottery fever. someone in illinois is holding an extremely valuable piece of paper. the winning ticket was purchased at nick's barbecue in palos heights, illinois. here's what that's worth -- the mega million jackpot got up to a whoppi whopping $393 million, if they want the lump sum, the payout is $247 million. if you weren't the winner of the mega millions, you still have the powerball to look forward to. tonight's powerball jackpot is worth $356 million, which means the cash option for that is $224 million. so if whoever won the mega millions last night also wins the powerball, he or she would be looking at a combined jackpot of $750 million. that is a lot of the money. but the chance of that happen regular one in 75 quadrillion, a number honestly i didn't know even existed. if that happens, here's what

that three quarters of a billion dollars could buy. it could actually buy you a roundtrip to the moon. it could also buy every single person in the world a two-liter bottle of coke. but what it couldn't buy -- it could not buy you the chicago cubs baseball team. it also could not buy you jay-z and beyonce. they would still be richer than you with their combined net worth. so of course, we wanted to know what you would do with all that money. so one tweeter said when he wins the millions he and his family will spend six months traveling the world. #searchforthebestplacetolive. you and me both. another woman was concerned with another lottery altogether writing, "this is the only lottery i want to win one day -- that is the "hamilton" musical." you can imagine that's a lot of money and, of course, a lot of options with all that. >> we're all dreaming, and the odds are just -- >> what would you do? >> exactly. what would i do? >> i'd disappear. i would disappear. >> i wouldn't -- >> i would. i would throw a big party first. >> you wouldn't be here next

saturday? >> i might be here next saturday, but i'd be here with a different attitude. >> a whole different attitude. >> i would go to every drake concert in the world. >> you could do it. morgan, thank you very much. switching gears now. a moving tribute last night for justine diamond, the australian bride-to-be killed by a police officer. traditional australian instruments played, mourners spoke of their loss at that memorial last night. damon was shot last month after calling 911 to report a possible sexual assault. her father said he is crushed by sorrow. >> to get on a plane to her wedding, but we were flying to her funeral. >> neither the officer who shot damon nor his partner were using their body cameras. the minneapolis police chief has resigned over the incident. a fiery reaction to an appearance by presidential

several angles. let's see the damage here. can we get the lights on real quick? thank you. wow. >> yeah. we've got burns down the back here. we've got burns on the clothing. >> reporter: direct hit on the head here. >> yeah. burns on the head. >> reporter: i mean, these burns go down her front, come down on her legs, as well. >> yes, that's right. and this is just two million volts that we can do here in the lab. it could be 100 million, up to a billion volts in real lightning. think of the damage that could cause. >> reporter: he says what makes lightning so dangerous -- it's unpredictable. the lightning wants to get from the cloud down to the ground. it's going to take the shortest path possible. it's unpredictable. it might want to go over here and then down or might want to go over here and then down. it make take a zigzag pattern. >> reporter: that's what makes it so scary. >> right. >> reporter: now watch this mannequin. when the smoke clears, you can actually see the path of the bolt cut across his body.

so how do you protect yourself? at the first clap of thunder, you should seek shelter and stay inside for 30 minutes after you hear the last clap of thunder. don't stand under trees. that could increase your risk of being struck. instead, move to the lowest elevation possible, and stay low so your summer, your life doesn't end like this. here's another tip for you -- if you can't seek shelter, if you can't go inside, go find a car, get inside the car during a lightning storm because the metal that surrounds you will actually absorb the energy just like in an airplane. when lightning strikes, the meltal around you absorbs it and keeps you safe. hope it helps, and back to you. >> it does help. jeff rossen -- >> you always get useful tips. >> things you remember. >> don't stand under a tree. dylan, what's coming up in the orange room? >> we have a really great story. it's about a bus driver and her it's about a bus driver and her hey!hing act of kindness for
