Good morning, everybody. Welcome to a special split edition of today. Its thursday morning. We have matt in rio. The olympic action is under way. The Opening Ceremony just one short day away. Started us off. Not too bad. I want to show you something funny, first. Im here along the promenade at copacabana beach. We havent formally started the games yet. I ran into the mascots from 2018. Guys, good to see you. Cool. Well see you guys in two years. Youre right, by the way, great start for the u. S. Womens soccer team. 20 over new zealand. Were a little tired. We were at maracana stadium as we were watching rehearsal of the Opening Ceremony. I can tell you, this its great. Americans are going to love it. Brazilians are going to be so proud. We wont replay the high five a moment. Lets get to our top story. A vicious stabbing attack and two americans are among the victims. A 19 year old is in custody. Reporter just hours after police said more armed officers would protect london streets you have to be ready for the challenge. Reporter a man with a knife attacked stabbing six people around this Central London square block museum. He was actually carrying a knife in his hand and he had blood on his hands. Reporter under this tarp, the body of a 60yearold woman. Paramedics tried to save her but she died at the scene. The first call came at 10 33 last night and six minutes later they tasered the suspect. A 19yearold man. Early indications suggest that Mental Health is a significant factor in this case but of course at this stage we regarding motive. Reporter britain like the rest of europe is on edge after terrorist attacks in brussels and nice. Earlier this week the french priest killed by isis sympathizers was laid to rest and this man who attacked passengers last december was sentenced to life in prison. The terror attack threat is at the second highest level severe warning the question is not if police said this attack does not appear to be terrorist related. The suspect, the 19 year old, is a norwegian citizen of somali descent with no signs of islamic ties. Mounting pressure facing donald trump from key republicans to tone down and refocus his campaign. Will there be an intervention . Our decision 2016 team has had jackson. Hallie, good morning. Reporter good morning. This morning were at the start of a critical window for donald trump to show he can make a comeback after a couple of the worst days of his campaign yet. You can call it a tale of two campaigns. Publicly advisers insisting theres no intervention, no drama, no panic. Privately Top Republicans telling nbc of a deep and growing frustration as trump fends off contr backstage. Just a little while ago i met with the gold star families. The love in that room was so incredible. Reporter Donald Trumps meeting coming as he faces fallout from his criticism of two other gold star parents. You have sacrificed nothing. And no one. Reporter just one in the long list of controversies trump is trying to get past as a new nationally and now upping the attacks on her after a reported 400 million secret shipment to iran returning iranian cash part of a settlement over a failed arms deal at the same time as release of american detainees. Can you say i wonder what happens with that 400 million . I wonder who ends up getting it, right . Reporter clinton forced to defend the controversy. As far as i know it had nothing to do with anyin hostage swap. Reporter trump staying on script. What his campaign wants to see. This was all started by Hillary Clinton. Reporter its republicans trying to hit reset. Trump supporters like Rudy Giuliani are hoping for a possible intervention in an effort to get the trump train back on track. Newt gingrich telling the washington post, trump is more now. Frustrated republicans calling trumps refusal to endorse paul ryan a major misstep. His own running mate, splitting off to back ryan himself with trumps blessing, he says. He strongly encouraged me to endorse paul ryan in next tuesdays primary, and im pleased to do it. Reporter trump advisers pushing back on reports of a campaign in crisis. The candidate is in control of his campaign. The campaign is in very good shape. We are organized. We are moving forward. Reporter trumps children. Some of the few people with sway over their new notoriously unpredictable father as trump gets good news on the money front raising about 80 million in july with the party, his campaign says. The most of any month yet. Through all of this, the Clinton Campaign is actively courting republicans and independents with a new big name gop defector, meg whitman, a top businesswoman and donor. Leading trump including in New Hampshire as trump heads to new england today with a town hall set for maine. Savannah . Hallie jackson, thank you. Chuck todd is in washington for us this morning. Chuck, good morning to you. I know youve been reporting about the feeling among some republican officials that maybe there would be a way that trump would actually withdraw from the race or be persuaded to do so. Is that real or is that establishment fantasy at this point . I think its a fantasy. I cant believe yesterday where that issue was there. That somehow in a meeting with him they could convince him to do this. I think thats definitely fantasy. What really theyre hoping to do is in the same way that you had Republican Leaders who were unhappy with trump, they went to his children, they convinced him to change Campaign Managers and it was the children that finally made that happen. They convinced him to pick mike pence over his own gut which was that. Again, the children were involved. I think realistically what they hope to do is say good grief, can you at least put some structure in place. Can you not do 17 interviews in between rallies and get yourself off message and stop attacking this person and stop attacking republicans. I thinker who hoping realistically with the help of the kids provide structure and tone it down. What republicans, if it was any other candidate running against Hillary Clinton, this would be a rough patch for Hillary Clinton given some of the items in the news. Incredibly rough patch whether its the current state of the economy, anemic growth, whether it is her insistence that somehow director comey let her off the hook on emails and she sort of reinterpreted what comey said in a way that was misleading. Throw in the discomfort from never mind we just started air strikes in libya because isis is there. Libya was a high profile intervention and Hillary Clinton push. The point is in the last five days this could easily have been Hillary Clintons worst five days postconvention and instead the exact opposite and its all due to Donald Trumps lack of selfdiscipline. I have 30 seconds and two raw politics things. Talk to me about polls and the fundraising game. I can tell you the polls look like it could be next week by donald trump. All hints are this bounce is real and you see it trickle into the states. We could see double digit leads for clinton in swing states. The money, you have to say that donald trump looked like a National Candidate that you would expect a mitt romney to have looked like four years ago with the amount of money he raised in july. July was a great month. July was the most unified the Republican Party had been in seven months. From small donors. Small donors. Though after six incredibly bad days for him. Chuck todd in washington, thank you so much. Chuck mentioned the Obama Administration is once again raising concerns about funding the fight against zika as officials deal with the outbreak of that virus in miami and this morning were learning about new cases in u. S. Military. Nbcs Kerry Sanders has the latest on this. Kerry, good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah.

All of the cases outside the United States. Six family members of Service Personnel have also contracted the virus. The news comes as Health Officials in the United States are now cautiously optimistic they can get the homegrown virus now in one area of miami under control. I dont think it will be easy. I think it will be difficult. I do believe we can contain from the air spread a tenmile zone. Is it safe . You can never Say Something like that is 100 safe. You should tell people if they see the plane coming over, to go inside. Its just the prudent thing to do. Reporter the mayor of miami thinks the city is being prudent when it comes to the wynwood neighborhood, center of the outbreak, but hes concerned that fear is hurting the local economy. Its impacting the image of thats been misinterpreted. Dont travel to miami. Reporter at the body belly baby class which isnt near wynwood, pregnant women like amanda are scared. The new normal always includes mosquito repellent and despite temperatures topping 90 degrees, her new dress code is long sleeves and pants for going out. I actually just spent so much money on amazon buying more bug spray. I have bug spray in my husbands car, my purse. All over the place. Were trying to do everything we can. Reporter the Florida Governor rick scott has announced the department of health here in the state will now provide free zika tests to any pregnant women in the state. There had been a lot of calls, obgyns reporting that there have been calls for these tests were costly. They will now be free. Well go inside because the plane will be over our heads shortly.

Where else are we gathering over 200 countries to bring together just for the world. Im looking forward to see how that comes together and hopefully its safe. Not to shed the heartwarming things you said but people care about medals. We have to admit. How is it looking for team usa in he rio . With the doping issues, some russian athletes not here, probably even better chance. China second. One thing as youve experienced at the games, when that home them boost their medal count and perhaps that would happen for brazil this time around. On average 50 boost of gold medals and 20 in medals overall. You saw it in vancouver and london. Team gb was energized by the crowd. Sometimes you play at home and its more pressure. In the olympics it pushes athletes farther. What do you expect in glamorous sports. Were talking swimming, gymnastics, basketball, Beach Volleyball . Beach volleyball will be glamour here. We love the game here in women and men are so strong. Those will be events happening here on copacabana beach where they break out in the middle of the day. That will be great. You mentioned basketball. Usa has so many strong teams especially on the womens side where well see american medals pile up. We were talking before the show can athletes live up to the expectations and can some other athletes shatter expectations . Simone biles. Go win four or five gold medals. Michael phelps, most decorated olympian weve had, go win another two or three gold. Thats so hard. As we see, its one moment in time for all of these athletes. That has to be so much pressure. Yet phelps has delivered games after games. Can he do it the last time around or we think the last time around . Just personally, is there an event youre looking forward to seeing . Were both golf fans. I want to since 1904 since golf has been in the olympics. I would love to see competition great traction and succeed and if it doesnt catch on, we ask them to hit a marshmallow and catch it in their mouth. Great to have you here.

To get your mind off that, all of the families who final cut to appear on the show. Coming up next, seth rogen and james franco are here talking about getting animated in their new movie and its called Sausage Party. Well let you out in a minute. Were back. Its 8 41. We have seth rogen and james franco here with r rated Sausage Party. Its about a bunch of supermarket foods who thinks paradise awaits when somebody buys them but they find the ugly truth about what happens when they land outside of the Grocery Store doors. In here it seems like the best route is to go through the liquor aisle. Shall we . What . Yeah. Totally sure. Okay. Because the way youre saying it doesnt sound like youre too confident. Yeah. Trust me. Okay. There we go. Can i just say, guys, thats honestly the only 19 seconds we could find that could be aired on this show. That clip is no way indicative of what the movie is about. Its the only airable moment. It makes me feel embarrassed. Humiliate you. Seth, you play a hot dog. Tell us the premise after that . Youre not allowed to i would imagine. Its about food from a Grocery Store who thinks that something good happens when its purchased and ultimately obviously something terrible happens and one hot dog has the journey where he tries to illuminate the store into the reality of what happens. Meanwhile, theres another hot dog thatsut encounters James Francos character who is just named druggy. Im one of the only humans. I didnt get to play food in this one. Your characters name is druggy which leads to the question who is the target audience here for this movie . Not children i would say. I really think its for everyone honestly. Its been so much better received than you would think a movie about a talking hot dog it was inspired by our love of pixar movies and animation. It has a lot of surprisingly deep ideas in it again considering its essentially talking food for 90 minutes. I think people will be surprised how much heart there is in the movie and theres as lot of theological thought that went into the movie. If you bring your kids to it, you are a bad parent. We made thato seth and the gang has done. Really . I told one of his producers i think its the best movie ever made. I would say just for the shear number of hot dog doubles, that was incredibly impressive. Exactly. If there were a gold medal. I think that we put a lot into it. I think its a genuinely funny movie. The objects and things that surround them that the secret life of food is such an obvious arena to go down. It makes sense why a kids movie wouldnt explore that because its quite horrific what happens to food but thats why we tackled that subject. Listen, lets talk about your relationship. Why dont we. As we do, roll the video, please. Why do you think it works . Look at us. So young and impressionable. I was under age. He was the alluring older man. He was inviting me on fancy dinners. It was like 50 shades of grey. I cant say i didnt invite that. We love that parity of kanye and kim video. Did you fight over who got to be originally. I was going to be kim and seth had an epiphany. We switched at the last minute. Its not the first time we switched roles . Anything in the works we can look forward to . We made another movie i produced with franco and i directed and i also act in. Its about the making of a movie called the room known for being the worst movie ever made and we chronicle the story about e okay. Before i let you go, you are in a movie, is it about porn . Its an hbo show. I see the mustache. That made me think you caught me in my 1970s glory right here. Always fun to have you here. The movie is called Sausage Party. You cant even say it.

The message of Second Chances is something that resonates with so many people. Why was it important to you to do a film like that . I love the idea of celebrating that parenting is about time. You cant buy time. Spaceys character is so focused on career and we are all trying to make our kids lives better. It doesnt have to just live on the floor but you do have to find the time.

That was the scariest thing about this is the book is loved by so many people and i had a deep affection for the book. I knew that so many people have a real strong connection. Thats why at first i felt like theres no way that you can make a movie out of the book. Lives in imagination of the reader and everybody has their own way of connecting to the book. Thats why i came up with this idea of the larger story around and let it be the beating heart of the movie and we could be very, very let that sort of be what it is and larger story is celebration of the power of the book and how the book can affect your life. I chose to make the main character a little girl and it was inspired by my daughter as a way to sort of bring us into the world of the Little Prince.
