Lemonade gold medalists phone profiling some other highprofile celebrities and what theyre saying theyll do. Powerball fever hits a new high. The second largest jackpot ever now soaring to 700 million. The rush to buy the Winning Ticket ahead of tonights drawing, is it your lucky day . Were up all night to get lucky were up all night to get lucky good morning, america. Yes, excitement growing for the powerball this morning. Lines already growing across the country. In new york, nevada, pennsylvania and more and, george, youll get in line. Ill finally break down and buy a ticket. We begin with that rally in phoenix last night. President trump unleashed, what a dramatic shift from the somber commander in chief the night before. Remember he called on the whole country to come together in unity but last night he was angry, he was raw. He was divisive and deceptive and lashed out at the media and went back at charlottesville saying his words were, quote, perfect but he left out the comments that drew so much fire. President trump also threatened to shut down the government if congress doesnt pay for a border wall. This is a wall he promised mexico would pay for and outside the rally thousands of protesters clashed with Trump Supporters and police. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega was in the room and starts us off from phoenix. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter george, good morning to you. An hour and 15 minutes plus, that is how long President Trump went on for here. He is blaming the media, a full assault for the backlash that he faced over charlottesville. President trump went to phoenix overnight using the opportunity to defend his response to charlottesville. As i said everything, i hit them with neonazi, i hit them with everything. I got the white supremacists, neonazi. I got them all in there. Lets see. Kkk, we have kkk. I got them all. Reporter he made a full rebuttal of the controversy over his comments. Now i say we have to heal our wounds and the wounds of our country. I love the people of our country. The people. All of the people. Reporter reading portions of his various responses, one by one. The first one, i did this three times. We have to come together as americans with love for the nation. So in my second statement i got really specific and they said, why did he do it faster. Reporter except in his retelling the president never mentions his most controversial comments. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. Reporter also never mentioning how many times he reiterated it. And you had some very bad people in that group. You also had people that were very fine people on both sides. Reporter he rallied his base by riling them up. Taking dead aim at the media for the fallout over one of his worst weeks as president so far. They make up stories. They have no sores in many cases. They say a source says. There is no such thing. But they dont report the facts. Reporter and hinting that there is a pardon to come for arizonas controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio. But you know what, ill make a prediction. I think hes going to be just fine, okay. But i wont do it tonight. Because i dont want to cause any controversy. Is that okay . Reporter a campaign rally. Theyre trying to take away our culture. Theyre trying to take away our history and our weak leaders, they do it overnight. Reporter looking ahead to a reelection by a president just eight months on the job. We are fully and totally committed to fighting for our agenda and we will not stop until the job is done. Reporter and the president s Reelection Campaign estimates there were 15,000 people here in phoenix to see him. He told that crowd, george, that he will get that border wall built even if it means the government has to shut down to pay for it. Yeah, that was quite a threat. Cecilia, you were in the room. 15,000 people there as well. The press is in full view as the president spends about 20 minutes or so at least attacking the media. Just give us a sense of what happens, what that feels like when those attacks come. Reporter well, george, this was incitement plain and simple. I turned my cell phone camera on the crowd so you could see the reaction there as we were on the stage. Thats what it looks like when the president turned the crowd turns the crowd on you. The president said journalists hate this country. Thats what he told this crowd. This was an assault that went on on and ive got to tell you this one felt different. It really feels like a matter of time before someone gets hurt. It is just shocking that this is happening with an occupant in the white house. Well talk about that more with matt dowd. So many demonstrations for and against President Trump so lets go to our chief National Correspondent tom llamas there in the middle of all that chaos. Good morning to you, tom. Reporter amy, good morning to you. Both sides showed up with massive crowds, but the Phoenix Police department was ready. It was loud, it was hot and it was mostly peaceful but all that changed right at the end. We were right there as police in riot gear advanced on demonstrators outside of President Trumps phoenix rally. With moments of brief tension when protesters refused to leave the downtown area [ chanting ] reporter officers wearing gas masks armed with shields fired off tear gas. When demonstrators threw bottles and other projectiles, police used pepper spray to stop the assaults. You can see the Phoenix Police department marching through Downtown Phoenix and put tear gas in the air. Theyre also macing some people. Earlier police were able to keep the peace as several thousand demonstrators showed up surrounding the Convention Center where President Trump held his rally. [ chanting ] Phoenix Police kept both sides separated but it didnt stop protesters from heckling Trump Supporters as they entered the rally. Im really godsmacked the way that man has been acting in office. Its been nothing but total disorder. Reporter but the president s strong support here showed in the lines that wrapped around the Convention Center. Many waiting 10 to 12 hours to hear the president speak. He is right about everything. We just need to support him as a country. Reporter now, the Phoenix Police department again deserves a lot of credit because the tension was so high here and things could have been much worse. Most of the injuries were heat related and there was only a small number of arrests. George. Thank goodness for that. Tom, thanks very much. Lets bring in madutthew dowd a running out of the times weve never seen anything like this before from someone in the white house, from the president of the United States and such a difference from just 24 hours before. Yeah, its amazing, george. I was reflecting on this last night and this morning at a time in america where were thirsty for healing and unity, donald trump arrived in the desert of arizona with an overheated rhetoric and damaging divisions in this. It does nothing to help heal the country at this point in time. Hes presiding over this and hes only adding to this. Only stoking the fires more and more. That last night was a perfect example of how on the mondays we see a mirage and on tuesdays we see the true donald trump and what we saw last night i have to say was the real donald trump. We learned last night that the president watches gma and took off on me last night as well and part of his media rant but the thing is, this is not just impulse, this is strategy by the president. He is trying to turn accurate reporting into attacks on him and using that to bind him more closely to his political base. Yeah, i notice he reused the attack on senator marco rubio so youre in good company in the midst of this. This does nothing to help. What it seems like is that his greatest enemy is the truth. Hes mad when somebody tells the truth and was pointed out earlier in this segment as he read what he said he said of course he left out the main thing which caused all the problem which was many sides, both sides in the midst of this but donald trump seems to have he loves the Second Amendment but seems to have a real problem with the first amendment. And perhaps the most co consequential attacks on republican senators, leaders in the senate, you know, did not wish john mccain well in his cancer fight even though he was in his home state. This could cause him huge problems as they face a big legislative agenda in the fall. I think this is probably the most damaging thing for him personally or for what he wants to do politically in this. John mccain is fighting brain cancer at this time. Hes a war hero. Hes beloved by every other senator in the United States senate and he attacked him. Didnt use his name but attacked him and jeff flake in this. All of Donald Trumps basket is sitting in their hands and all hes doing is making it harder and harder for him to accomplish anything in this congress. Yeah, he is really alienated mitch mcconnell. Matthew dowd, thanks very much. Now to those severe storms stretching from texas to maine sparking water rescues. Out west wildfires forcing evacuations and ginger has been tracking all of the developments. Good morning, ginger. Good morning to you, amy. That was a long line of storms so a lot of areas to talk about. Blowing through in new york city. You can see the Freedom Tower getting hit by lightning and then mexico, new york, that huge tree on top of the suv. It did this for such a large region including the heavy rain in oklahoma. Water rescues in the midwest overnight. Downpours trapping dozens of driver, emergency crews racing after more than two inches of rain fell in Oklahoma County in just 30 minutes. At least 157 severe storm reports. Destruction from kentucky to pennsylvania. Winds to 60 Miles Per Hour ripping trees up by their roots. Branches impaling windshields. Taking out power lines in pittsburgh. In Washington State the Scatter Creek fire forcing emergency evacuations tuesday night. Real tragedy. 100 families forced to abandon their homes destroying seven structures including four houses. Crews containing the fire early this morning. That cold front is mostly done with its work there but to the tropics. Two areas, one around florida. This one made its way off the yucatan is the remnants of harvey. If you remember hearing about it, its going to try to redevelop in the gulf and looks like friday night through saturday, Corpus Christi up to houston, the spaghetti computer plots take it right into you and no matter what type of event its going to be heavy, heavy rain up to 10 inches. Real rough weekend there. Thanks very much. Now to new fallout from that crash of the navy destroyer, the uss mccain. The commander was removed from the post because thats the fourth accidentened his command this year and bob woodruff brings us the story from singapore. Reporter thats right. The u. S. Navy moved quickly to remove the admiral in charge after a string of accidents including the loss of lives. Admir admiral Joseph Aucoin was told that the navy had lost confidence in his leadership despite his plan to retire next month they require them to show accountability for four mishaps including the loss of life on the uss john s. Mccain and uss fitzgerald. The uss mccain reported a loss of steering for three minutes prior to it being struck but officials caution it is not certain this led to the accident as there still would have been several evasive action that is could have been taken to avoid collision. The john s. Mccain remains docked at a singapore base where they continue to scour the ship for possible survivors. Some were recovered from sealed compartments where the ship was hit. The Malaysian Navy recovered a body at sea. The american commanders insisting that operations would continue until all hope of finding survivors had been exhausted. Now, the Navy Officials now say they will widen the search for the missing sailors out there at sea. They have already found some bodies inside the ship. Clearly they believe others may have fallen out after the collision. George. So tragic. Okay, bob, thanks very much. We turn to the backlash growing over this photo. Take a look. Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchins wife now apologizing for how she responded to criticism for posting a photo tagging the luxury clothing brands she was wearing in front of a government plane. Abcs mary bruce has that story. Reporter this morning former actress lindsey voouise linton is sorry after this instagram post. Wi windswept and carrying a luxury handbag she described her duds writing tom ford sunnies, hermes scarf, valentino. While celebrity reports on social media arent unusual, what is, thats a military plane and linton had just returned from an official trip to kentucky with her husband. Treasury secretary steve mnuchin. The post sparked a backlash as fierce as lintons fashion. Glad we could pay for your little getaway. Deplorable wrote jenni miller. To be tagging everything she was wearing with all these expensive european designer names just seemed ridiculous. Reporter linton fought back writing, im pretty sure we paid more taxes toward our day trip than you did. Pretty sure the amount we sacrifice per year is a lot more than youd be willing to sacrifice if the choice was yours. Adding, youre adorably out of touch. Linton is new to politics. Leaving behind a career in movies like cabin fever and appearances on csi when her husband was sworn in earlier this year. This morning linton has apologized for both her post and her response saying it was inappropriate and highly insensitive. Now, the Treasury Department has also issued a statement. They say the mnuchins are reimbursing the government for her travel and she received no compensation for mentioning those products. George. Okay, mary, thanks very much. We move on to that Powerball Jackpot. 700 million and counting ahead of tonights drawing. Powerball headquarters in tallahassee as people continue to scoop up tickets and gio benitez has the story. Reporter george, good morning. Tonight most of the country will be looking very closely at that massive jackpot, those winnings, that jackpot stretching across 44 states and american territories and all eyes are on that prize. This morning, powerball fever soaring from coast to coast. I got millions right here. Reporter you could be holding the ticket to the second largest jackpot ever, 700 million. The lump sum more than 440 million. If you win you could be one of the richest people on earth. I wouldnt go that far but ill be very, very rich. Reporter why are the jackpots so huge . Well, powerball officials added more numbers to the mix making it easier to win smaller prizes but lengthening the odds for the jackpot from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 292 million and this jackpot has already rolled over 20 times since june 14th. Another factor. Sales. When more people buy tickets the jackpot goes higher and powerball officials tell us they expect to sell 170 million tickets between the last drawing and tonights and emphasize a Winning Ticket is likely lightning strike. It can happen anywhere. [ chanting ] like it did for that lucky family last year in chino hills winning one of three tickets in last years recordsetting 1. 6 billion jackpot. The town celebrating. Some wise words from the experts dont limit your chances by playing your birthday since months only have up to 31 days but powerballs go up to 69. And play that quick pick. Powerball officials tell us random numbers are usually best. And if you happen to have that Winning Ticket, experts tell us especially those with billions of dollars in the bank they actually say you know what, hire a tax attorney right away. Maybe hire a few if you have that Winning Ticket. You can afford it. We have to start with that fire in montana burning over a month now. 32,000 acres burned so many red flag warnings still on the map. You could see humidity as low as 10 percent and gusts to 35. The sunny cities brought to you by sprint. Drying out this morning after an overnight filled with thunderstorms. You have a couple little sprinkles here or there. Taking a look outside sky6 shows you some sunshine breaking through the clouds over the Commodore Barry bridge. Humid as you step outside with temperatures in the 70s. That should change during the afternoon. 85 is todays high, a mix of clouds and sun. Humidity dropping during the day. Might be a morning sprinkle or shower down the shore for the air show early on but most of the day is dry and then beautiful thursday, friday and straight through the weekend.
