election and hillary clinton. is he the last man standing in the republican race. we have complete coverage, beginning with our nbc national correspondent, peter alexander. peter, good morning to you. >> hi, matt. good morning. republican race now officially over. donald trump focused on his next prize, the white house. he says he will not be completely self funded in the general election, telling nbc news he wants to raise at least $1 billion for the gop. >> and once that -- >> reporter: donald trump unrivalled and unplugged speaking to nbc's lester holt, previewing his strategy to beat hillary clinton. >> we need strength in this country. she's not strong. she's not going to be strong at the brd border or military. she's not going be strong with isis, no matter how you look. >> reporter: the candidate, who ev evicerated his opponents with insults. >> if they treat me properly, i'm going to treat them properly. it would be beautiful

battle with the new national poll that shows trump trails clinton, his harsh rhetoric fueling his high unfavorable rating, majority of americans saying they have a negative view. >> i don't know what you're talking about negatives. i won with women, african-americans, hispanics, at every single level. >> as i suspend my campaign today -- >> reporter: with his last rival, john kasich, suspending the race, the party is divided. both past president bushs will sit on the sidelines, not endorsing anyone. newt gingrich says trump has the upside and downside of any candidate he has ever seen. >> more likely to be crushing hillary. >> mike

trump train and john boehner vowing to vote for him as well. the rnc tweeting, thank you tore the entire republican field for a hard-fought race. the party is better for your efforts. nebraska senator staunchly anti-trump applying i assume this is a parody account? preceding to go on a twitter tirade, pushing for a third-party candidate, why are we confined to these two terrible choices? this is america. if both choices stink, we reject them and go bigger. that's what we do. matt and natalie? >> peter alexander, thank you very much. hillary clinton finds herself in a challenging position for preparing for a showdown with trump while still dealing with bernie sanders in the democratic primary. kristen welker is in los angeles with that part of the story.

>> reporter: natalie, good morning to you. that's right, clinton is fighting on two fronts now but the battle against trump is her top priority, underscoring that point, nbc news has learned this morning that for the first time, the clinton campaign is expanding its general election team at its brooklyn headquarters, adding new staffers and giving some of their standouts bigger roles. those headquarters now ground zero for taking out the presumptive gop nominee. it's the fall fight in sharp focus, hillary clinton and donald trump. no holds barred. >> this, to me, a classic case of a blustering, bullying guy who has knocked out of the way all the republicans, because they were just dumbfounded. >> reporter: trump, flooding the airwaves after clinching the nomination wednesday. >> i think hillary will be easier to beat than many of the senators, governors, et cetera, that we just were victorious over. >> trying to make voters fear the businessman. >> he is a loose

canons tend to misfire. >> reporter: she's ramping up for the general election, deploying staffers to top battleground states, sending out fund-raising e-mails, including one on wednesday which warned the whole world is counting on us to win this thing and making sure voters remember every controversial comment. >> he is the one who has run the campaign insulting people, demeaning women, degrading people with disabilities, talking about keeping muslims out of the country. >> reporter: the clinton team is also reaching out to independents and even republicans. this new ad showcasing top gop officials lamasting trump. >> is he a phony. >> a con artist. >> a know nothing candidate. >> donald is a bully. >> reporter: and she's bracing for the onslaught coming her way, trump with an anti-clinton biographer this week, and already taking shots at bill

clinton's past indiscretions. >> she's married to an abuser, a woman who claimed rape. >> if he wants to go back to the playbook of the 1990s, i'm more than happy to have him do that. >> reporter: and the former president made a joke while campaigning in san diego wednesday, when a young woman said he, quote, looked good. >> it's been a long time since a girl said that to me. >> reporter: now, president clinton quickly clarified that usually people tell him he looks good but for his age. secretary clinton will campaign in the los angeles area today as he fights to officially clinch the nomination. natalie, matt, back to you. >> kristen welker in los angeles for us. thank you so much. say good morning to mark halpern, managing editor of bloomberg politics. good morning. good to see you. >> good morning, matt. >> donald trump talking to lester holt said when he comes to the campaign for the general election he wants to see a policy oriented campaign. >> i wouldn't bet on that. both of them are interested

putting forward negative things about the other side. hillary clinton has talked more policies than donald trump. name a policy she's talked about that really broke through to you, i usually ask people. i don't think she's done it so far. i don't think donald trump will want to make it a referendum on hillary clinton or bill clinton. >> in terms of try iing to coalesce and get the republican party to back him up, has it been that lukewarm acceptance or now with our nbc news/wall street journal poll, trump is within 11 points, perhaps, of a hillary clinton matchup there. as that gets closer, do republicans need to back him up? >> he needs to coalesce the republican party. peter alexander reported since the two bush presidents are not for him, that's not good. but reach out to people in the general election. coalescing the republican party doesn't get you to the white house. those are two tough things to do for a guy who has never run before. >> as you look to the

let's go back to 2012 and talk demographics here. see what happened in that race and what does it tell us about what trump needs to do this year? >> underlying the electoral votes you need and look at what mitt romney did against president obama. can trump do better with white voters than that? maybe a little but hard to do. african-american vote, maybe a little bit better. obviously, an african-american president will do better with african-american voters. and latino vote, he has to do better than what romney did. a lot of people say he will do worse than that, given some of the statements he has made that haven't played well in the latin community. >> as he told lester, he doesn't see that as a problem. that was the primary. here in the general election it could be more of an issue. >> it will be difficult for him to turn this around but those who say it's impossible

the nomination. we're not in a normal year. donald trump will run against hillary clinton the way he did against jeb bush and say business as usual won't work and hillary clinton will say this guy is not acceptable to be president. >> on one side of things, mark, there's the demographics. let's talk about the geographics. again, let's go back to 2012 and put the map up of what happened. talk to me about how you see donald trump having a path to win the general election? >> there's the map from last time, the baseline, president obama 332 electoral votes, well over the 270, governor romney, 206. donald trump has to find -- i'm not great at math but about 64 additional electoral votes. blue states, where can he go? florida and ohio is where you always start. republicans used to win those two big states. democrats today say no, mitt romney lost those states soec s. so will

those states on the west coast, northeast, those won't change. so florida, midwest, maybe colorado, where donald trump will have to find enough to overcome. electoral college is all that matters, 270. a lot of discussion between now and november about anything else. that's ke that's the key right there. >> put that map back up. will he find a vice presidential candidate there? >> first big decision in the spotlight, pick somebody the country says that would be a great president if the time came and that person had to be president. >> mark halpern, thanks for being here. this week's firefight during an isis-led siege in iraq in which a u.s. navy s.e.a.l. was killed. chief foreign correspondent richard engel joins us now. >> good morning, matt. u.s. may be calling them advisers bhi

in this fight and in combat. this video obtained by the british newspaper the guardian reportedly shows the pitch battle north of the iraqi city of mosul this week in which american navy s.e.a.l. charlie keating was killed. u.s. military officials say dozens of isis fighters in 20 vehicles broke through a kurdish front line in a well-planned and executed attack. american forces were advising the kurds. under fire, more americans were called in for backup. while their faces are blurred -- >> run! >> american-sounding voices can clearly be heard. what is described as a u.s. helicopter flies ahead. nbc news has not authenticated the video. >> this is a large fight. no question about it. we think there are at least 125 enemy fighters involved in this fairly complicated, complex

nearly 60 isis militants were killed in the hours long battle near in mosul near the capital of erbil. the third american to die in iraq since u.s. sent troops back to fight isis. this is the video that u.s. has tried to prevent coming out. this is supposed to be an advisory war, not a combat war. >> and that word "adviser" can be very misleading when you see video like this. >> absolutely. a lot of troops are on their bases but are also pushing off their bases and, at times, right in the firefight. >> it shows you how much our armed services are still very much there on the front line. richard, thank you. >> thank you. now to that raging wildfire, it's forced more than 80,000 people to evacuate their homes in the canadian city of mcmurray. it'ses

estimated 1,600 structures and burned more than 20,000 acres. the province of alberta has declared a state of emergency. ft. mcmurray's downtown area has been spared so far. the fire chief says it's being held through some herculean efforts by firefighters. now to the north carolina controversial transgender law. saying the newly enacted law violates the u.s. civil rights act and cannot be enforced. it requires transgender people to use public bathrooms that conform to the sex on their birth certificate. the justice department says north carolina has until monday now to respond. a big story out of california right now. starting next month, you'll have to be 21 years old to buy cigarettes in that state. california is the second state in the u.s. to raise the legal age to buy tobacco from 18 to 21. hawaii was the first. california governor jerry brown signed the l

and health officials are applauding that move. the institute of medicine says 90% of daily smokers began using tobacco before turning 19. back to that frightening video we showed you at the top of the show, that severe turbulence sending an airplane full of passengers into a panic. more than 30 people were injured on that flight from abu dhabi to jakarta. you can see some of the passengers praying there. the plane landed ten minutes later. 30 people were taken to the hospital. thankfully, everyone expected to be okay. frightening moments on board. >> if you live thud turbulence on a plane, that is no fun at all. >> scary. powerball jackpot on the rise. no big winner in last night's drawing, pushing the top prize to an estimated $415 million, the next drawing is saturday. as you probably remember, powerball fever ged

nation back in january when the jackpot reached a record $1.6 billion. the odds of winning the top prize, one in more than 292 million. the people who won that $1.6 billion looking at this jackpot saying, amateur. >> exactly. >> nothing. >> odds of kerry sanders being outside a convenience store, probably one in -- >> one in one. >> exactly. i think i can predict that one pretty well. the other thing we can predict, unfortunately, is this soggy, cool wall weather here in the east. remember, we've been talking about this omega block. the weather is not really moving. boy, look at this. we are socked in all along the eastern seaboard. and it's going to stay that way for at least another 48 hours. got a couple of areas of low pressure making their way, meandering up the coast. as it does, that will help to enhance the rain that's out there.

meanwhile, a doctor who specializes in addiction out in california is telling his attorney here, he wishes he could have gotten prince help sooner. overnight, the california clinic recovery without walls received an urgent call about prince the night before he died, responded to questions about the work it does. stating in a facebook post that the facility is an outpatient clinic that provides treatment for chronic pain, chemical dependency and prescription management issues. but addiction specialist, dr. howard kornfeld, who runs the clinic, got the call, couldn't have known that prince had less than 24 hours to live. he acted quickly. the first step, booking an appointment for prince with a local doctor. >> he set into motion a plan to deal with what he felt was a life-saving mission. >> reporter: then kornfeld put

an overnight flight to meet with prince the next day, april 21st. when andrew kornfeld arrived at paisley park, no one could find the musician. >> one of the staff members started screaming. andrew heard the screams and went to the elevator, where he saw that prince was unconscious. >> reporter: andrew placed the 911 call. when investigators arrived, his lawyer says he turned over a small amount of buprenorphine that he had in his backpack. a drug used to treat opioid withdrawals. >> there was no pills, any type of medication given to prince by andrew or by howard. >> reporter: after being questioned by police, andrew flew back to california. i asked the kornfelds'attorney if he was worried he might be

he said he was, but didn't specify what those charges might be. we reached out for a former attorney for prince who said in the past that prince had no addiction, but he didn't get back to us. matt, natalie, back to you guys. >> stephanie gosk, thank you very much. let's bring in our nbc chief legal correspondent. ari, good morning to you. what are the possible charges? >> under state law transferring or distributing controlled substances or federal law the interstate investigation of that. >> we talk about the scenario that his attorney is now presenting, that his father said take this. give this to the minneapolis doctor, who is going to administer this to prince. that's the story that they are saying. but where is the legal jeopardy here in that story? where do you see the questions and issues surrounding this? >> an investigator will have the same question that anyone at home would have. well, couldn't you get any prescription from your local doctor? in fact, shouldn't you? because they're t

initially treat iing you and making that assessment. this young man, although he says he was there to help, wasn't a doctor. so, that would be the big question. >> the attorney also says, look, minnesota has good samaritan laws and that should shield my client, whether it's the doctor or the son, from any prosecution. let me read you a part. the law state ace person acting in good faith who seeks medical assistance for another person who is experiencing a drug-related overdose may not be charged or prosecuted for the possession, sharing or use of a controlled substance. it's pretty clear there. is there wiggle room? >> not a lot of wiggle room. as you read, matt that, is the exact fact pattern we appear to be in. and this has a good rational. government, even when pursuing drug charges have said, look, if someone's life is in danger, we don't want people holding back on contacting the authorities because they're worried about themselves getting in trouble. that would be the situation here. another thing investigators may look at is was this person part of the drug problem or part of the potential drug solution? if you were just outside of the

drug problem, not deal drugs, you're much less likely be of interest to the authorities as long as you told the truth throughout this inquiry. >> as this case now is a federal case, does that law even continue to hold ground? >> it would not be a bar to potential federal charges. >> thank you. appreciate it. let's get a check of the weather now from al. >> announcer: "today's" weather is brought to you by kay jewelers, the number one jewelry store in america. every kiss begins with kay. >> and our weather begins with the omega block. we've been talking about it. it not only affects the precipitation but the temperatures as well. the big dome of high pressure in the

7:42 on a thursday. we're back more with our special series "where are they now: case closed." it's been nearly five years since a jury acquitted casey anthony in the killing of her 2-year-old daughter, caylee. >> she's still dealing with the fallout of the case even as her life becomes gradually more normal. it was a death that horrified. >> her name is casey anthony. >> accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter,

quickly became a lightning rod for online debate, backlash felt strongly by cheney mason. >> i guess the main thing was confronting and dealing with some of the crackpots that are loose on the street, threatening and so forth, for doing my job. >> and the burden that wore on the trial's judge, melvin perry, memories that still hold strong for both today. >> in retrospect, it's something that i would not want to do again. >> caylee went missing in june 2008 but had been gone over a month before her grandmother, cindy, contacted police. casey anthony was charged and police later found caylee's skeletal remains in a wooded area near the family home. conflicting stories over an abduction or accidental drowning increased suspicion and outrage against anthony. >> news media had tried to convict and sentence casey long before there was ever a jury picked. >> the trial produced tensions inside the courtroomet

on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. thank you so much. did you say honey? hey, try some? you know i'm always looking for real honey for honey nut cheerios. well you've come to the right place. mind if i have another taste? not at all mmm part of a complete breakfast ...one hair color wants to to help you keep on being you.. nice'n easy. natural-looking color... ...that even in sunlight, doesn't look like hair color... it just looks like you.
