Why officials still believe they may have survived and the boysmotors join us. And footballs first female. Meet the new coach with the Arizona Cardinals. The historymaking hire today. Tuesday, july 28th, 2015. And morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a Tuesday Morning. A lot of headlines in politics this morning. No question. We are happy to have Mike Huckabee in our studio live. Hes taken a lot of heat for comments he made on the Iran Nuclear Deal and well talk to him about that and other developments in the race. Meanwhile, the weather is a big story today. We have al here looking at the major heat wave hitting most of the east coast. Its expanding through the midwest, the central plains, the northwest is going to get involved in this before its all over. We have this dome of High Pressure. Look at how far north the jet stream extends, all the way up into canada. This dome of High Pressure expands out. Its going to build west and to the east as well. So we are watching this on both fronts, both coasts. Right now, 35 Million People under some sort of heat advisory or excessive heat warning. That will expand out by this time tomorrow. Over the next three days. Boston by thursday, 92. 95 tomorrow in new york. 94, and you factor in the heat and humidity. Its going to feel well into the 90s for the next three days. Chicago, same thing. Canc can city, up to 90 by thursday. 93 in memphis, but it will feel like 111 on wednesday. 1ver 7 107 in kansas city, and Oklahoma City well over 100 with the feelslike temperature, and the pacific northwest, temperatures well into the 90s from seattle, portland, medford, into boise. This is not going to go away anytime soon. Here in the east, heat wave lasts right through the weekend. Possibly into the beginning of next week. Used the term heat wave all the time, but three days over 90 is a technical heat wave. And a wet heat. Yeah. Al, thank you so much. Lets do politics now. These controversial new comments dominating all the headlines in the republican president ial race this morning. One of them is a stunning response from Donald Trumps attorney to decadesold allegations against trump. Katy tur has more on this. Good morning to you. Good morning. Donald trump leading in the most recent polls is now in hot water again. This time for something his lawyer has said while trying to defend trump against resurfaced allegations of rape. Theyre the comments that landed gop president ial candidate donald trump in hot water. When mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, i assume, are good people. Now, a new controversy is brewing after michael cohen, a lawyer for the trump organization, reportedly made these comments to the daily beast. Youre talking about the frontrunner for the gop president ial candidate. As well as private individual who never raped anybody. And of course, understand that by the very definition, you cant rape your spouse. The comments coming in response to an article published monday that resurfaced allegations that trump raped his thenwife evonna back in 1989. I dont think anybody could have anticipated that sort of response. Trump has denied those accusations in the past. His campaign releasing a statement overnight saying this is an event that has been widely reported on in the past. It is old news and it never happened. It is the standard lawyer technique which was used to exploit more money from mr. Trump, especially since he had an iron clad prenuptial agreement. Its just a way for the daily beast, which has been reporting inaccuratery on mr. Trump for years, to get some publicity for itself, but its cohens comments on rape that went viral overnight. Senator Claire Mccaskill reporting, most shocking part of this . Trumps lawyer thinks its legal to rape your spouse. The daily beast also reports cohen said i think you should go ahead and write the story you plan on writing. I think you should do it because i think youre an idiot and your paper is a joke and its going to be my absolute pleasure to serve you with a 500 million lawsuit, like i told you i did to univision. He said things not fit for today, so i wont say them here. He said he would do Disgusting Things to us in addition to the multimillion dollar lawsuit. Were just waiting for that. Ivana just released a statement from Trumps Campaign saying the story is totally without merit. I have nothing but fondness for donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally, i think he would make an incredible president. Meanwhile, bloomberg did the math on trumps wealth using his Financial Disclosure statement, valuing him at 2. 9 billion, not 10 billion. Another republican candidate facing criticism this morning, forker arkansas governor Mike Huckabee after he called the Iran Nuclear Deal the equivalent of walking the israelis to the oven. Peter alexander has the latest on this. Good morning. You said it, this time the republican candidate who is stirring up the conversation with his contentious comments is not donald trump. It is Mike Huckabee, standing firlly behind his statement linking the president s Iran Nuclear Deal to the holocaust. Israels ambassador to the u. S. Called the language inappropriate, but several republican candidates have been less critical, including ted cruz, who said huckabee is exactly right. You have a little bit of a followup. Mike huckabee monday not backing down. I will not apologize and i will not recant because the word holocaust was invoked by the iranian government. I have stood at that oven door. I know exactly what it looks like. On the defensive over these comments criticizing president obamas Iran Nuclear Deal. He would take the israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven. One prominent Jewish Advocacy Group saying the comments were completely out of line and unacceptable, and other republican rivals weighing in. Jeb bush, who says he respects huckabee, condemned that type of language. This is not the way were going to win elections. President obama agreed, traveling in africa, he insists americans deserve better. Goding republicans like huckabee and trump. Would be considered ridiculous if it werent so sad. Looking to raise money off the controversy he started, huckabee responded what is ridiculous and sad is that president obama doesnt take the iran threats former arkansas governor has seemingly changed his tune. He said the u. S. Might be able to live with a containing iran. Several contenders are using the same playbook. Ratchet up the rhetoric like trump if you want to be heard. Lindsey graham. Ted cruz, and rand paul, all resorting to stunts. But paul concedes, even he has his limits. Im traing the line of selfimmolation. None of us are going to set ourselves on fire. Well, critics say Mike Huckabees language obscured his point. The new polls this morning shows a majority of americans Want Congress to reject the iran deal. There are the numbers on your screen. 52 say reject it. 44 of americans want it approved. Peter alexander, thank you very much. Governor Mike Huckabee joins us now. Governor, good to see you. Great to be here. It seems to me the irony is youre taking a proisrael stance, but in explaining the stance, you have offending people in israel and jews all over the world. Heartily. They write inappropriate. Fellow republicans have called them offensive and outrageous and the Antidefamation League spokesperson called them out of line and unacceptable, and youre not backing down an inch. Not at all. The response from jewish people has been overwhelmingly positive. The response from holocaust survivors, from the children of holocaust survivors. I was last night at an event, probably one of four gentiles in the entire event, jewish event. People were overwhelmingly supportive. Here are the people who are saying just the opposite. Youre hearing from the adl, from the democrats. Were hearing from people, by the way, like you, oppose the Iran Nuclear Deal. Some of them just need to go back and read what the iranians themselves said. We have developed the missiles that will replace israel with a big holocaust. But thats their words. Why would a president ial candidate echo those words . If youre elected president and youre the one negotiating with the iranians in the future, would you stand in the oval office and address the American People and say my fellow americans. Im rejecting the iranian people because it will march the israelis to the door of the oven . Would you say that as president of the United States . Thats exactly what i would say. We dont trust people who would threaten to kill israel, threaten to wipe them off the map. Who have said that they are glad theyre that theyre a onebomb country. As president of the United States, would you use the words march the israelis to the door of the oven . Yes, i would. Let me tell you why. Because i have been to auschwitz three times. I have stood at that very place. I have been to israel dozens of times. My first trip there was 22 years ago. The one thing i was sure of is for 6,000 years, jews have been hunted down. The last time the world did not take seriously threats against the jewish people, just before world war ii, this ended up in the murder of 6 million jews. But as the president of the United States, you would use words to express your policy and views on israel, even if they offended millions of jews around the world. We need to use strong words when people make strong threats against an entire group of people, as the iranians use against the jews. This is not part of the iranians. This is something they consistently say. Even as were sitting down having a negotiation with them, and theyre crying out death to america. What kind of negotiation is that . Answer the critics who say you and other republican canddous are doing and saying anything right now simply to be heard over the roar of donald trump. Is there truth to that . No, its not, if i were going to make noise about this, dont you think i would have a wetter forum than a weekend satellite radio show that i didnt think many people would listen to. You say it there, end up here. Because you invited me. By the way, its nothing i havent said for the past 42 years having been in and out of israel and having been a strong believer that the reason that the holocaust happened was because so many people naively believe neville chamberlains ridiculous statement that were going to bring peace in our time. We ended up seeing 11 Million People murdered, six of whom were jews who marched to the ovens i stood in front of. In about a week, theres going to be the first debate on the republican side. Based on polling numbers youll be on the stage along with the frontrunner donald trump. Do you think its time for you and other republicans to stop treating him as some kind of a side show and start treating him as a real candidate and ask him his views, his policies and his vision for the future of the country. I never treated him as a side show. Anyone who has 10 billion is a player in an election because he can afford to make things happen. You know, hes striking a nerve with a lot of people. My job is not to react to donald trump. My gosh, hes getting all the attention he needs without my help. My job is to focus on what i stand for, talk about how to get jobs back in this country, talk about how to keep america safe, and how to return us to our basic moral conscience at a country. Those are the issues ill be focusing on. Ill swim in my lane, ill let donald trump swim in his. Thank you. Meantime, another big story were following this morning, the expanding search for two florida teenagers missing at sea since friday. As the coast guard offers hope of finding them alive. Nbcs Kerry Sanders is on the story in jupiter, florida. Good morning to you. Good morning. The coast guard says searching for somebody out on the water using hightech equipment, but by and large, its old school, looking out a window. They say searching is looking for a basketball in the water. As i toss the basketball in the water, you can see it. As we look from above, from the helicopter, our nbc affiliate, can you see the other four balls floating out there. Now consider youre in a coast guard c130 plane traveling at 170 miles per hour, only 500 feet off the water. At the jupiter, florida, inlet, the city came together and lit up the sky with lanterns. A symbol icic beacon to lead them home. Other than the capsized boat, no sign of the teens. Still, no one is giving up hope. They spend so much time together on the water and on land that we are so certain that they have figured this out. Every five minutes, im getting a phone call from somewhere, someone saying i have a plane, i have a pilot, i have a boat. What can i do . The coast guard says they have seen people survive this long on the water before and that the boys may have created a makeshift flotation device out of the missing engine cover, life jackets, and the cooler. Here in florida, the water is a little warmer than other parts of the country. You can survive a little longer. Were learning more about the Severe Weather conditions last friday. This squall line captured on a boaters cell phone at about the same time the boys sat out. Captain james doolin said while most of the boats headed in, he saw one with kids headed out. I seen one little boat come out and go north. Family and friends, including football great joe namath, are urging folks north of here to walk the beach looking for any sign of the boys. While many ask, is 14 old enough to be out on the water alone . Are they too young to be on a boat in the water . These kids were raised on the water. If you dont live in florida, you dont understand how children are raised here. Right now, its all about bringing the boys home. You can see how far the ball has drifted from where we are just in the last minute and a half. That is why the coast guard right now is searching off the coast of savannah for these boys. And as you heard, native floridians say who those who say 14 years old was too young to be on the water, its akin to a 14yearold boy or girl driving a tractor or combine on a farm. Its just what happens. Of course, the real question is whether the parents wanted them to come out in the atlantic or stay in jupiter inlet. That is a protected area. Kerry sanders. Thank you. Were going to talk to the mothers of the missing boys in the next half hour. Meanwhile, natalie is here with a landmark decision for scouting. Thats right, the boy scouts of america have ended a decades long ban on gai scout leaders. The executive board concluded the policy of excluding gay adults is no long rer legally sensible. Church sponsored scout units will still be able to exclude gay troop leaders for religious leaders. Despite the compromise, the Mormon Church said it might leave the organization anyway. British detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine Mccann have reached out to australian ofrls after a young girls remains were found in a suitcase. The body of a girl the age of 2 to 4 was discovered on a highway this month. She was 3 years old when she went missing from the familys holiday apartment in 2007. Australian Police Officials say theres absolutely no evidence that the child is madeleine. A Florida Police officer is on leave this morning after he was caught on video apparently tossing food to a handcuffed suspect. The incident was recorded on a Security Camera earlier this month. The officer can be seen tossing what has been identified as peanuts to a man who was reportedly homeless. He didnt catch them all, and then later in the video, hes seen picking the food off the floor with his mouth. Internal affairs is now investigating the incident. Boston is out of the running as a host city for the 2024 olympic games. The decision was announced monday, hours after bostons mayor said he would not commit to having taxpayers foot the bill for any olympic cost overrun. The u. S. Olympic committee is now looking for another possible bid city. Los angeles, San Francisco, and washington, d. C. Are all on the short list. Extreme sailing lived up to its name in an event in hamburg, germany this weekend. The extreme sailing team from denmark suffered a spectacular capsize, as you see there, during a nineboat race. May not have looked crazy, too crazy from a distance, but when you take a closer look, you can see that the crew members are holding on for dear life. One of them falls into the water. Another saves himself at the last second. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, and the crew actually recovered the next day and they finished third overall. Pretty impressive coming back from that. When you see it close up, you really get a perspective on the height. Absolutely. Thank you very much. Mr. Roker. Hey, take a look. We have a tornado in manitoba, canada. This, again, this is a southwestern manitoba. A damaged building. It was so powerful it actually lifted the pavement off the roadways. Fortunately, no injuries there.
