in the box office this weekend. thanks for waking us with us i'm betty nguyen. it's party time in cleveland. the city of cleveland has a champion. the cleveland cavaliers beat the golden state warriors to win their first ever nba championship and became the first team in history to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the finals. lebron james lead the way. he's the only third player in history to have a triple double in game 7 of the finals. james was voted finals mvp. his teammate called him the best player on the planet and even compared him to beetoven and it's hard to argue. he's the only player in history to lead both teams in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks. afterwards lebron celebrated with his kids. >> to be able

drought. our fans deserve it. i came back for a reason. i came back to bring a championship to our city. i knew i had the right ingredient and blueprint to help this franchise get back to a place we have never been. >> president obama jumped in tweeting what a game and what a series for the cavs. happy to see king james bring it home for cleveland and back home thousands of ecstatic fans took to the streets for a celebration attacking the downtown completely. they deserve it. the city hasn't had a major sports title since 1964. look at that. congratulations to them. 50,000 people gathered for a vigil last night in remembrance of the 49 victims of last week's orlando night club massacre. the crowd circled around to light candles and honor the victims. many dressed in pride colors and held flags in support. others held signs of messages. some reading love always conquers hate a f

the names of all 49 victims were read and after each name the crowd chanted we remember them. how is this for perfect timing. at one point a full rainbow appeared overhead prompting cheers from those on hand. >> the fbi expected to release partial transcripts between omar marteen and hostage negotiators. this comes as isis puts out a video praising his actions. >> seeking to capitalize on the night club massacre isis released a propaganda video. the video shows a man speaking english claiming to be an american. but investigators are still trying to pinpoint the orlando gunman's exact motive. a senior law enforcement officials tells nbc news that they found no manifesto or anything resembling a suicide note. that official says there is some indication on his electronic devices and internet history the

websites though they have not found dating apps on his cell phone. >> we're talking to anyone that had any kind of contact with this killer. >> attorney general loretta lynch announced the fbi would release a partial transcript tomorrow but would not say whether his wife might say charges. >> it's too early to say right now. >> here in orlando from a packed soccer match to a crowded tattoo parlor -- >> to remember. always remember and never forget why we're here. >> the focus is not on the killer but those healing. >> the attorney general will travel to orlando tomorrow for an on the ground briefing as the investigation there does continue. >> today the senate will vote on four gun control measures that would keep guns out of the hands of terrorists. it all comes after last week's marathon filabuster by chris murphy.

previously failed following shooting tragedies in new town, connecticut and san bernardino, california but gun control components are hoping this time would be different. does this legislation face a better chance of passing? >> not clear this morning. the thinking is they don't have the votes to move this forward. republicans are signaling compromise. will democrats compromise if they don't get what they want? and what they really want is this measure that would ban gun sales to people on terror watch lists and others under fbi investigation. 99.5% of the people on these watch lists are foreigners and not americans whose second amendment rights would be denied. republicans are offering in alternatives to delay those sales for three days while a court takes a look at the situation and donald trump is now saying like other countries the u.s. should consider racial profiling. the nra also weighing in on this

we need but a tighter grip on isis. gun control is not going to stop mass shootings like we saw in orlando. also today a couple of other measures that would expand background checks to gun he shows and make it more difficult to restrict sales to the mentally ill. all four of those up for votes today. >> busy day on the hill. thank you. firefighters are battling several explosive wildfires this morning. while fire crews along the u.s. mexico border evacuated a california town of 700 the nearby fire in southern california grew to nearly 8,000 acres. over 2,000 firefighters. some shouldering nearly 80 pounds worked around the clock in sweltering heat to save dozens of threatened homes. >> probably the hardest work i have ever done. it's back breaking. wears your body down. >> in new mexico the dog head fire alreaev

17,000 acres. with less than 10% of it contained since it began burning a week ago. hundreds of residents were given mandatory evacuation orders. one county declared a state of emergency. >> arizona record temperatures and low humidity fuelled a 12,000 acre fire. nearby counts on alert for possible evacuations. >> the blising heat proved to be deadly for some. in arizona four people in their 20s died in separate heat related incidents over the weekend. temperatures hit triple digit highs not seen in nearly 50 years. the first victim was hiking on saturday on a trail outside of phoenix. on sunday a woman that worked as a personal trainer died during a morning trek despite packing plenty of water. later that day two hikers had to be rescued by helicopter. one was treated at a local hospital and the other died before deputies could help and even when

they found a man dead on a trail and are still looking for another person. >> can you imagine going for a hike in 120 degree heat. 26 million people under excessive heat warnings throughout the region. yesterday or today is when we'll see the peak of this. we're in the middle of this right now and it will taper off a little bit this week. all dangerous heat and heat advisory even for san diego which is rare in itself. it's still overhead and it will slowly begin to weaken and lose it's grip but it's still going to be 110 plus. today 116. vegas 150. palm springs, 123. yuma, 120, 115 today and then as far as the extended forecast goes it's still very warm in phoenix all the way through wednesday. not like it's going to be that much different. los angeles does get a break though after 100 degree heat in downtown. today severe weather through the northern plains.

>> i hate the concept of profiling but we have to start using common sense and we have to use our heads. we really have to look at profiling. we have to look at it seriously and other countries do it and it's not the worst thing to do. house speaker paul ryan made no chance to second guess the lof the people. he said he continues to support trump while making clear he would not try any rebellion against trump in cleveland. hillary clinton is expected to give a speech tomorrow hitting trump mercilessly and will follow it up in north carolina on wednesday. joe biden could also go after trump once more. he gives a foreign policy address in washington this afternoon and then senator elizabeth warren. in her new hampshire state convention speech this weekend she went after trump over and

spending $23 million in ads in battleground states across the country while republicans spent zero. clinton far surpasses trump but trump doesn't seem to think contributions are needed for his run. here's what he said about a possible self-funded cal pain this weekend. >> if the republican party and i hope they all come together because i want them to come together it's great. but if for any reason they get a little bit like they don want to help out as much then i'll fund my own campaign. i'd love to do that. >> this morning nbc news is debuting a new digital feature on the rise of donald trump. it walks you through a visual invasion of the campaign and highlights the people that supported him. the united states of trump. check it out this morning on nbc news.com/trump. now to the shocking death of one of stark'
