good morning, i'm craig melvin in for tamron hall. coming to you live from dallas, texas, a city that is still very much struggling to cope with the enormous tragedy that unfolded here last thursday night. but we start -- we start with that breaking news in the presidential race. we are waiting for hillary clinton rally in portsmouth, new hampshire, where, again, just moments from now we expect bernie sanders to finally endorse the presumptive democratic nominee 36 days after she became the presumptive democratic nominee. the sanders endorsement a long time coming, clinton having mathematically wrapped up that nomination well over a month ago following oftentimes a bitter primary fight. it also comes at a crucial time for clinton, just days before the republican convention set to start in cleveland. our nbc news survey monkey online poll this morning shows clinton now down to a narrow three point lead over donald trump nationally, 47 to 44 this morning, trump tweeting, quote, bernie sanders who has lost most of his leverage has totall

he's in conversation with author craig shirley discussing mr. williams' latest book, "we the people." [inaudible conversations] >> okay. good afternoon. i'm bradley graham, i'm the co-owner of politics & prose along with my wife, lissa muscatine, and on behalf of everybody here at the gaithersburg book festival, thank you, thank you so much for coming. this is, of course, the seventh annual festival here in 2008ers burg -- gaithersburg. this is the fifth consecutive year that politics & prose has been here as the official bookseller, and we really want to commend the gaithersburg staff and all the festival sponsors and volunteers for working so hard, especially hard this year given the weather, to make today possible. and thank you all, really, for coming out. you're all a very hearty, hearty bunch. a few quick administrative notes. now would be a good time to turn off your cell phones or anything else that might go beep. second, if you're tweeting today, please use hashtag gbf. and, third, we really want your feedback. so, please, at the end fi

craig melvin out in dallas. top of the hour as folks are continuing to wake up following a late night on both coasts, update us on what we know that's new. when a lot of people went to bed, we assumed what we feared, this was something of an urban army. this was multiple gunmen and then some in dallas. >> reporter: we can tell you that according to federal officials, brian, at this point, this does not appear to be terrorism. and, again, the definition of that varies. but the government's definition. based on that, this was not an act of terrorism. at this point, they believe that the gunman acted alone. this is a 25-year-old gunman, micah xavier johnson. he is, or at least for the last few years, has lived in the dallas area. it is not clear whether he is from the dallas area. but we are told -- in fact, i'm going to step out of the way. if i can get my photographer to show this brick building behind me, that is the parking garage where we are told there was a robot with an explosive device on the end of its ar

craig? >> i have you here, i want to get your take on something that former mayor rudy giuliani said to brian williams last hour, or the hour before. i can't recall. but he said essentially, and this is a summary, that the black lives matter movement had contributed to a target being on the backs of police officers all over the country. and i know that you have spent a lot of time covering the movement, more time than perhaps anybody else at our network. what do you say to that? any legitimacy to that claim at all? >> i've been covering the black lives movement for the better part of 2 1/2 years. going from city to city, dozens of marches, talked with dozens if not hundreds of the organizers and protesters. and what they will say time and again is that their pushback against police violence and state-sanctioned violence, their pushback against young men being gunned down in their cars, being gunned down in the streets. in the case of michael brown left under the hot sun for four hours. their

>> yes, good morning, craig.hat this spacecraft will be able to answer a lot of basic questions, not only about jupiter itself, but also about the origins of the solar system. one of the things that nasa scientists are thinking is that the way the solar system was originally formed, first was the sun. and then after that, jupiter was probably the first planet formed from a lot of the material left over from the formation of the sun, so, thus, it holds a lot of secrets about the early history of the solar system. >> we know that there is studying of the famous magnetic field. what's the importance of learning more about that magnetic field? >> well, actually, there are two things about the magnetic field, about the environment, that is going to help nasa understand a lot. that is being able to measure the magnetic field and the flux of the magnetic field and also at the same time able to understand the graph national field of jupiter. what it helps scientists to understand is whether or not jupiter actually has so

i'm craig melvin here.ity desperately trying to come to grips with the reality of that deadly assault. those assassinations on members of its police force. a gallup poll earlier this month before recent shootings, gallup poll highlights confidence in police. 52%. whites, however, far more positive about law enforcement, 62% having confidence in police, for the second straight year 39% of nonwhites expressing confidence in police. more on what those numbers mean a little bit later in the hour. the events over the past week are having a ripple effect on the presidential campaign as well. for that we turn to frances rivera, she's at msnbc headquarters in new york this morning. francis. >> craig, thank you. hillary clinton and donald trump both canceled events they were supposed to hold yesterday because of the shootings in dallas. however, they have addressed deaths of police officers as well as deadly shootings in minnesota and louisiana. joining me now from our bureau in washington is nbc's hallie jackson wh

>> hey there, craig. obviously republicans are fired up about the announcement that director comey made regarding hillary clinton and her e-mails. and paul ryan released just a scathing assault on hillary clinton saying, quote, while i respect the laurnlt professionals at the fbi, this announcement defies explanation. no one should be above the law, but based upon the director's own statement, it appears damage is being done to the rule of law. define clyning to prosecute secretary clinton for recklessly mishanding national transportation information will set a terrible precedent. craig, we often talk so much about the house of republican leadership and donald trump being on different pages when it comes to messaging on this issue, they are on the same page. they're both saying, trump outwardly and paul ryan insinuating it in that statement that this system is being rigged here for hillary clinton. hillary clinton committed a criminal act and she is getting off because of how the justice department views

it's amazing. >> you know kris jenner does love craig's. i was there having dinner, she was there with her fellow and kris says i like to go there, not to be see >> come on. >> you never know, she said they treat her well, the food is good. the last time she was there, i didn't even know she was until she left and the paparazzi went bananas. >>> hollywood moms making ba look so good. new scenes from mila's new movie. >> we have to take down these perfect moms. >> i say we go punch that chick right in the [ bleep ] -- damn! >>> later a psychic to the stars gets tatum o'neal in touch with some famous faces from the past. who left her shaken up. >>> "lord of the rings" star viggo mortensen plays a dad in danger of losing his kids that he raised in the wil "captain fantastic." >> you're crying >>> of course everybody is getting ready for "independence day" and cameron joins us with some ladies who are fiercely independent and "bad moms". >> "mean girls"s me "the hangover" look out. i was first on the set with mila kunis and christina applegate.

they were also united, craig, in taking on donald trump. senator sanders had very strong words for donald trump, slammed him for being divisive, and secretary clinton got one of her loudest applause lines, she said donald, if you're at home watching this, but i'm sorry, we're not going to lower the minimum wage, we're going to fight to increase it. this was a united front. there were some detractors of course, folks before this events started, were shouting feel the bern, there was a woman who walked by who said never hillary. so some folks aren't quite ready to get on board with secretary clinton. but if you look at the polls, the recent polls show 85% of senator sanders supporters say they'll support secretary clinton. this will be a big step to getting rthe remaining holdouts >>> mr. trump once again taking to twitter, i'll just read one of the tweets here. to all the bernie voters who want to stop bad trade deals and global special interests, we welcome you with open arms. people first. trump appearing later this evening with indiana's

the elevator speech, craig, goes like this. it's an answer to your question, which is that if thomas jefferson, alexander hamilton, george washington showed up at the gaithersburg book festival, they'd be rock stars. we'd say, hey, forget juan, let's go meet the founding fathers, right? [laughter] so they're walking around and you say, hey, mr. hamilton, there's a hit broadway show about you and george washington. [laughter] you don't know, we have colleges named after you, we have a city named -- it's unbelievable. and they would say to each and every one of you as they walk around gaithersburg, they'd say, you know, on that big highway we saw there were cameras on the lamp post. what are those cameras for? and you'd say, oh, they're for speeders and for criminals, you know, to prevent crime. and they'd say, wait a minute, you mean the government has you under constant surveillance? >> yeah, yeah. something about the fourth amendment. right. >> i can't believe it, that's the way you live in america today? so i don't think they

craig is mad because he couldn't play anymore. no, it just happened you giunta could ask questions on your behalf whether it be in j., scotty, dj, patrick ewing, anybody because i wasn't a union rep and that became my play. it wasn't ever about me. this thing ain't about the collective. i'm still blast being in a sport that made me a team player from the mindset. i've never been about making my 250 million so i can go by a ballet. it's about me making that might and 1983 so we could see a difference in the city of chicago. it bothered me the president is from your and this is happening here. no way should we be able to condition we can with a number of championships that we are in, the amount of money we make, the number of entertainers and athletes that are funded that our city continues to be wanted it. that bothers me host the wendy's unite country when i was in milwaukee, a young brother by the name of troy murdered in 1989, and i'm watching television and the report comes on, and they say we feel like we're living in a war zo

does it matter though, craig? i know i keep saying this, i sound a bit like a broken record, so far, it has not mattered for the campaign. they are close with hillary clinton in the polls. we're going to see if this changes things over the next few weeks with, but you have to imagine that at some point down the line after controversy after controversy, that there might be a fracture in his otherwise very solid support, and if it there's not a fracture a in the otherwise very solid support, is he going to be able to convince those swing voters, those undecided voters that they want to entrust him to be essentially the ceo of america? the person who's running america. are they going to look at this campaign and think to themselves, he didn't run the campaign very well. how can he run the country very well? or are they going to think to themselves, he's the anti-politician, he didn't do things a traditional way, he's going to go in there and shake things up. i don't care if his campaign came off as smoothly as say a

cbs reporter craig boswell has the latest from the white house. craig. >> reporter: kenny, it is high drama as hillary clinton and donald trump move closer to choosing running mates. donald trump is expected to make his announcement anytime between now and friday. and his appearance today in indiana is only fueling more speculation about his choice. donald trump and some of his family members visited with mike pence wednesday morning just one day after the two campaigned together. trump hinted the indiana governor might be getting a new title. >> youl be calling up mike pence. i don't know whether he is going to be your governor or your vice president! who in the hell knows. >> reporter: trump tells the wall street journal he is looking for an attack dog, someone who is a fighter skilled in hand-to-hand combat to take on hillary clinton. clinton isn't shy about fighting back. she says trump is unfit for office. >> at times like these, we need a president who can help pull us together, not split us apart. >> reporter: the poll numbers for clinton a

craig?i want to bring katy tur the into the conversation. katy tur just a few feet away from you. katy, set the scene. can you give us additional guidance from what you're hearing with regards to what we can expect tonight? >> i think kellye h-- kelly hit the nail on the head. we asked if he spent a lot of time practicing on the teleprompter. we know he hasn't been so smooth, he stumbles from time to time which is unusual for him. he's less energetic on the tell prompter than he is when he's speaking off the cuff and i was told he's practicing but it's donald trump and he basically said like that. he is going to do what he wants and he feeds off the energy in a room. and that's how he's more comfortable. we'll see how much he sticks to the script on that prompter and how much he tries to riff on the energy in the room and whether he does say something to new york and i would imagine he would. remember his son don jr. put him over the edge as the delegates in new york that put him other the e

. >>> let's go back to craig melvin in dallas.u were able to hear our interview with rudolph giuliani using and he's entitled to his opinion as all are people using precisely the language the black lives matter campaign has objected to so forcefully. think about this violent week in american history. these two killings, police-involved killings, that some yesterday were labeling twin assassinations. fast forward to last night in dallas. the assassination of five police officers and this is where we stand on a friday afternoon. >> i caught the last part of the conversation with the mayor there. and i would caution, i guess, against this idea this was a protest that was organized by just the black lives matter movement. as we have heard from folks who were there on the ground last night who were part of the march that was in protest in response to what happened earlier this week in louisiana and what happened earlier this week in minnesota as well. it was a protest in response to that. however, it sounds as if based on those who wer

that's where we find my colleague craig melvin to handle the political coverage at this hour, craig. >> reporter: brian, good afternoon to you. we will have much more on what that pence choice means. most political experts consider it a nod to the base. he is a socially conservative, first-term governor fwr indiana. we'll talk about that. i also just had a conversation with one of the deputies in charge of security here in cleveland, he tells me that in light of what's happened there in nice, they are ramping up security here. we can expect some enhancements to what was previously announced. additional uniformed officers, we can also expect more vehicle checks as well here in cleveland ahead of the republican national convention, which of course set to get under way here on sunday. more on that again in just a moment, but for more on the tragedy overseas, i'll send it back to you. >> craig thanks. and last night for anyone who was with our coverage in the early hours of this, we heard from correspondent janet khanly who started fin nine or ten miles outside of nice there on a family

craig, forgive the intrusion, but two things. number one, have you been given a satisfactory answer to your question all day, what happened to the multiple suspects, the idea of multiple suspects? and number two, for people tuning in at the top of this hour, can you debrief us on your interview, which i saw in the last hour, with the man wrongly identified as a suspect last night, his photo disseminated around the world. his photo was still on the dpd website as of late this afternoon. and, oh, by the way, he carried an ar-15 to a peaceful rally. >> let's start with your first question about my question, those suspects. at one point, three of them, we were told. we were also told they'd not been cooperating. i've asked a number of guests on our air about that. they've had no idea what's happened to the suspect. we heard earlier during one of the news conferences, the police chief didn't comment on it. refused to comment it. i sent a text message, an e-mail rather to a public information officer. i've sent one twice asking about t

>> reporter: hi there craig, good afternoon, i want to mention that very emotional news conference. a lot of moving parts in the story over just the last few hours. in the news conference we heard from the baton rouge police chief who identified the two officers involved in this sho shooting. they are blaine salamony and howie lake the second, a three-year veteran of the force. the police would not say immediately whether they had had any disciplinary issues in the past. that's sure to come out as part of the investigation as the media requests information. but local officials here are pleading for calm. so far the protest that we have seen, the ones that we saw last night have not been violent in any way. they are hoping that that continues. and as you mentioned earlier in the news today, the department of justice, now the lead agency in this investigation, today the mayor spoke about handing over the case to the justice department, here's what he had to say. >> you find people now who want to jump and everybody wants to make a political statement. including the justice department,

i wish we had a better outcome for craig there. but i guess the silver lining to this really dark cloud is everybody learns a little bit about the way banks operate. >> we're all screaming on the set, what?! >> hopefully norma spent it on something. >> you hope so. >> and it was already used. >> he's not sure she did. >> and there's no record to prove it. okay. >> thanks, chris. >> thank you, chris. >>> well, how about this. put some smiles on our face. can you really pitch a tent and have a slumber party at at&t park? right there in the outfield? yes, these are live pictures. you can do it. it's the annual giant's slumber party. this is a live look from our exclusive center field camera. the giants lost this afternoon to the reds, so the players leave the field and now all the families and season ticket holder's and giants fans are pitching their tent. i think they'll have a little barbecue and show a movie and wake up to a little breakfast tomorrow morning. >> they're lucky. that southeast corner of san francisco always has some

craig, you could hear a pin drop during the president's remarks.t audiences. >> reporter: you know, brian, one of the things that really struck me, i'm glad you raised that point. this reminded me, almost two or three minutes in of that speech in charleston. almost a year ago, president obama, once again, giving voice not just to our grief, but also giving voice to the anxieties that a lot of folks had before last week and certainly in light of what we have seen play out in this country over the past week. president obama, doing his best to speak to our angels. they are going noticeably longer than last year for about 40 minutes. he is welcol compared to the shooter in charleston. he's done that a few times saying both were guilty of hate crimes as well. the line that stood out more to me than just about any other line is we areot as divided as we seem. we are not as divided as we seem. president obama going out of his way to answer some of the criticisms that we have read over the past few days and on his watch, the chasm in this country. it's gro
