but let's start with nbc's hallie jackson in dayton, ohio, where a trump rally will be held later. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, craig. all indications the rally will move forward. people have been lining up. some people got here at 1:00 a.m. for the trump event since cancelling the event in chicago. that is where five people were arrested. trump now tweeting this morning about, quote, the organized group of people, many of them thugs, who shut down our first amendment rights in chicago, saying they've totally energized america. pandemonium and a crowd packed with protesters, days of rising tension reaching a boiling point. >> tonight's rally will be postponed until another day. >> reporter: the chaos in chicago spilling out into the streets. police physically separating trump's protesters from his supporters. one arguing with demonstrators, raising her hand in a salute.

trump on msnbc. explaining why he called off the event. >> i don't want to see anybody get hurt. i think it was the right thing to do under the circumstances. >> how are they going to react to these pictures when they go to vote? >> two people told me this increases the vote for trump. >> reporter: his campaign says it postponed the rally after meeting with law enforcement, but chicago police point to the 100 extra officers who had been called in. >> we were confident we had the proper amount of resources dedicated to the event and we relaid amount of resources and we relayed that to mr. trump. >> reporter: trump did not cancel earlier in the day in st. louis interrupted by demonstrators there. one led away bloody. 32 people arrested. >> i don't insightn incite violence. >> reporter: trump facing fire for comments to protesters.

his rivals are arguing he is the one who should set the tone. >> one candidate has violence at the campaign. >> any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. >> reporter: every one of trump's competitors, republican and democrat, has commented on what happened overnight in chicago. john kasich for example saying the seeds of division donald trump has been sewing are bearing fruit. trump is questioning freedom of speech, again, under fire for his tone on the campaign trail. >> hallie jackson in ohio. hallie, thank you. >> we have ali who was at the rally last night. ali, good morning. we have seen all of the escalating tensions building over the past week. the question this morning for a lot of people is whether or not

since you have been at so many events, was it a surprise? >> we have been seeing over the past few weeks is tensions have been much higher. i point to one rally in new orleans before that. that primary on tuesday. he was there on monday night. there were a lot of protesters in the crowd. it is not just the frequency and number of protesters, but the way they are acting toward them. a lot of people are saying that trump's rhetoric is emboldening them. if you let me set the stage n the arena last night across the ground floor, there were multiple sections filled with protesters ready to disrupt. with the goal of disrupting and even cancelling the rally, getting trump to say he won't be here in downtown chicago. when that announcement was made, clashes with protesters and supporters. that continued out on the street. this tension has been here. it is simmering around the rallies for weeks. for us who have been covering

surprising as disheartening to finally see it spilling over. much of it having to do with protesters and supporters say they are emboldened by trump's rhetoric. >> somebody says it almost sounded like the campaign it came as a surprise. is that the sense you get from the folks you speak with their? >> reporter: sources have told me in the days leangpo e rally, they were expecting a large amount of protesters. there were activist groups plan to be here. the idea protesters at a trump rally is nothing new. we expect to see that almost daily at the rallies. it is something we have seen an uptick in recent days. the tensions have been spilling over. i feel the trump supporters i

win and it translates into what they feel is their ideology is defended on the ground. he says they are doing what they think is right in terms of defending the ideas that they think are the right path for america and he espouses. a lot of people feel it is the fault of the protesters. >> ali, thank you. >> carly fiorina is a former republican presidential candidate now endorsed and campaigning for ted cruz. mrs. fiorina, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's start with the scenes. officers injured, bloodied protester protesters, violence spilling in the streets. these are the scenes that find in the general campaign ads. how do you defend scenes like that come november? >> i don't. that's why i'm working so hard

we have to defeat donald trump fair and square at the ballot box. the only one capable of doing that is ted cruz. that's why i endorsed him and that's why i'm working very hard to win the nomination. these scenes are unhelpful. it is clear in chicago that protesters were organizing specifically to disrupt this rally, it is also clear that tone is set at the top. this tone that is being set at the top of the trump campaign is not helpful to our party. it is not helpful to our nation. i said the very week that donald trump announced his candidacy, he does not represent me and he does not represent my party. so we have to defeat him. >> when we look at ted cruz, you are campaigning for now, he has done well in the south. he has done well in caucus states. as we head now into the importance of ohio and florida, we are seeing ted cruz polling third and as we move into the

where do you see his path to the nomination? >> first, let me point out in the state of michigan, which trump won, cruz came in second. i don't think there is much doubt that ohio and florida are basically in play between kasich and trump, rubio and trump. it looks like both kasich and rubio will lose their home states. at which case they will withdraw. the thing is the party now needs to unify behind ted cruz so that he can beat donald trump fair and square. it is also true, however, we have almost 50% of the delegates left to be awarded. this contest is not over. the media wants it to be over. i don't quite know why. we have a long way to go. i don't think donald trump has never faced a one-on-one race. that is why you heard donald trump say maybe we shouldn't

he doesn't want to debated cruz. the reason he doesn't want to debated ted cruz is because ted cruz stayed on pace and policy. he doesn't talk about body parts or spray tans or hurled insults. when the issue is substance and these are serious times in america. we need to talk about substance and policies and reforms in washington. donald trump doesn't have a lot to say. >> mrs. fiorina, if trump does become the presidential nominee, do you endorse him or campaign for him? >> he's not going to be the republican nominee because we're going to beat him. >>hat was not a yes or no. thank you. carly fiorina, i appreciate your time on this saturday morning. >> thank you so much. >> turning our attention to the devastating scene in the south where nonstop rains are causing major flooding for tens of thousands of people. already, nearly 2 feet of rain

the flood threat is growing. we have sara dallop with more this morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. the rain is continuing to fall in mobile and across the region. people are waking up to more dangerous and potentially deadly flash flood conditions. there is great concern of rivers and creeks. some of which have spilled their banks. >> reporter: record setting flooding as they roll to the gulf of mexico. waters near the roofs in homes in louisiana. after four days of relentless rain, the flood gates cannot hold back the deluge. >> we are almost double than that we have had before. >> reporter: now neighborhood after neighborhood is under water with no way out. >> our people are trapped in a house. about two or three feet of water. >> reporter: the national guard has rescued more than 1,700 people.

waters as they clung to tree trunks. rescuers struggling in the severe conditions. >> one of our people stuck down there. we will go back to see what we can do. >> reporter: neighbors fill sand bags hoping to stem the rising tide. >> we can't control. >> reporter: for others, it is too late. water has taken over their homes and they are grabbing the kids and getting out. it won't be easy. roads closed. debris and a boat washes into the bridges. water logged ground buckling a foundation in a mississippi apartment complex. >> the building is at risk of falling over of collapsing. >> reporter: and more rain is expected today. >> if it keeps up for more days, we may as well build a boat. >> as for damages estimates, the situation is still changing too rapidly. some areas may not see a break in the rain until sunday. erica.

>> sarah dallof, thank you. >> dylan, any relief soon? >> yes. the worst of the heaviest rain is over. we could see 2 to 3 inches more of rain. monroe, louisiana picked up more than 20 inches of rainfall. all that water, the heavy rain has stopped, it is trickling into the rivers. i want to point out we have heavy rain now moving into the panhandle of florida. you see the scattered showers moving in from the south. these intensify later today and we could see pockets of heavy rain that will lead to an dings al flooding. all of the red diamonds is where we have flood stage with rivers over their banks. it will take time before all of the rivers start to recede. we have flash flood warnings in effect. flood warnings across mississippi. 12 million people under the flood risk. we have the area of low pressure moving to the east with the biggest threat of heaviest rain expected to fall through

a bit farther north of where we are seeing the major flooding right now. still, it is going to take until we get days of sunshine before those rivers start to still wanted and still on the loose. >> i got busted. >> new mexico's most wanted, convicted murderer joseph cruz back in handcuffs after two days on the run. >> preliminary information shows that probation and parole picked him up. identified him. there was a short foot pursuit and took him into custody. >> reporter: but the prisoner he escaped with is still out there,

dangerous. this is lie yell claw, firing 2007. >> shots fired! shots fired! >> reporter: moments after leading authorities on a hour. at one point a passenger jumping into the middle of the road. officer robert was there during claw's last shootout and is concerned about what could loose. >> he'll find more of a reason to run or fight or possibly harm other people in his way. >> reporter: claw and cruz escaped while being transferred between two new mexico prisons wednesday night. fully shackled in leg irons, stomach chains and handcuffs. authorities think they may have escaped while the prison van stopped for fuel. hours later the pair was spotted by security cameras laughing in the lobby of this albuquerque motel. residents told to lock their doors and windows. >> these individuals are considered armed and dangerous. >> reporter: cruz, 32, is

first-degree murder and child abuse. clah doing time for armed robbery and assault. with clah still on the loose, authorities are issuing a stern warning. >> we'll catch up to you at some point. it's going to be very uncomfortable for you if you harbored these two individuals. before we find you, come to us. >> authorities have a $10,000 reward out for clah's cap. in the meantime they're asking tronts stay on high alert. nbc's morgan, thank you. after two top executives at the wounded warrior project were fired. we have more on that story. >> good morning. those execs were fired amidreports of lavish spending and concerns that a large percentage of donations were not going to help veterans at all. >> we n'lee earor behind. >> reporter: after reports of overspending and waste by one of america's largest and best known

>> find out how you can do your part. >> reporter: a major shake upat the wounded warrior project. ceo steve nardizzi accused of lavish spending on overhead, including on air travel and over-the-top parties. >> it's a culture that was created by these guys. and i think that that culture is systematic and they're going to need to change a lot more. >> reporter: wounded warriors raised $342 million in 2014 alone. but questions remain about how some of that money was spent. >> the money should go to the veterans. the gauge is 90% or better and anything less than that they're doing something wrong. >> reporter: a cbs news investigation first shed light on the problems. a former employee describing nardizzi's entrances at a company meeting. >> he rappelled down the side of a meeting. >> to make a grand entrance? >> yeah. and he's come in on a segue,

>> reporter: cbs reporting up to half of donations are going to cost of running the charity and not to veterans. but an internal audit found more than 80% of donations went to programming. if that's the case, the charity would be meeting guidelines from watchdog groups. analysts say the ripple effect will impact veterans first and foremost. >> i think over the short term, at least, i think contributions to veterans groups is going to go down. >> if donations do, indeed, go down, it could impact more than 20 million u.s. veterans. nbc news did reach out to the fired executives. they declined to comment. craig? >> it's the ripple effect that's most troubling. thank you. this morning former first lady nancy reagan is finally reunited with her beloved husband. mrs. reagan, who died last sunday at age 94, was laid to rest friday, just inches from president reagan at his namesake library in simi valley, california. a crowd of dignitaries and

>> another newscast in 30 minutes. see there are two democratic visions for regulating wall street. one says it's okay to take millions from big banks and then tell them what to do. my plan -- break up the big banks, close the tax loopholes, and make them pay their fair share. then we can expand health care to all, and provide universal college education. will they like me? no. will they begin to play by the rules if i'm president? you better believe it.

earlier in the day a rally in st. louis was also interrupted by demonstrators. trump's opponents now saying his campaign encourages hostility. >> these scenes are unhelpful, and while it's pretty clear in chicago that protesters were organizing specifically to disrupt this rally, it's also clear that tone is set at the top, and this tone that is being set at the top of the trump campaign is not helpful to our party. it is not helpful to our nation. >> reporter: five people were arrested in chicago including a journalist, and this morning, trump is tweeting about all of this, saying that in his words this organized group of people, many of them, quote, thugs, shut down his first amendment rights. we expect to hear more from him on the campaign trail today. >> hallie jackson, thank you. this morning, potentially flashflooding in the south. dylan is tracking it all and we'll hear from her in just a moment.

back on a saturday morning. time for "trending." do you think you could wait for the first bite of food until the afternoon? fasting is a growing trend. it may work for long term weight loss. one said he hadn't eaten breakfast in 35 years. here is the thinking. you consume all of the calories, for some people in a small window in the late afternoon or early evening. fast for the remaining 16 to 18 hours of the day. with one group of fasters have done it for years. many people do it for spiritual and religious reasons. that researchers are looking into health and longevity. >> i go long periods of the day without eating. i'm not a snacker. i eat a big late breakfast and big dinner.

you actually eat. not oh, i don't eat. you do it at various times. >> okay. raise your hands. have you taken a nap at work? don't lie. just because the boss is watching. >> i take a nap at work. >> if you are on a shoot. >> you might have a door. >> on a 24-hour shift. >> a new study shows that if companies allowed employees to nap, they may actually save money. studies have shown sleep deprivation can cost big time. up to $63 billion a year. google, zappos, huffington post offer nap pods. i went to huff a couple years ago and did a story on that. >> i did, too. >> i was trying to get them to put them in here. there's a line every day. >> they have two ofhem now.

the latest viral sensation. angry/mountain lady. jordan and her husband were on a trip to the happiest place on earth, disney. look at her face as she goes down splash mountain. maybe not happy. perhaps resigned to the fact she is riding on the log flume. i don't know. apparently her husband decided not to go on the ride. he did post the picture along with the eveninternet memes. a classic painting and a presidential candidate. turns out with john travolta. >> her husband did not go on with her? >> i guess. a popular singer could be an actor. sheinelle with the pop start. >> what is funny, flashy and filled with a-list cameos? the trailer for andy samberg's

>> connor has 32 people on his personal payroll. >> he is surrounded by people who are agreeable. >> it went in. it went in. >> so the movie more of a mockumentary looking at connor. it debuted to a lot of buzz and he is actually a parody of justin bieber. from our sister company universal pictures. from an actor playing a pop star to a pop star acting. fans of one direction. harry stiles is going hollywood. he has been offered a role in the drama "dunkirk." i guess you can count the music videos as acting. and caitlyn jenner is the

h&m with a sportswear line. caitlyn broke the news on social media with the behind the scenes picture. congratulations to her. we are back in just a
