hi, everyone, i'm zinhle essamuah. >> i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. ♪♪

today, friday, april 12 9, 2024, fighting words, vice president kamala harris, in the swing state of arizona, just days after the state's near total abortion ban, her message on the controversial decision, and who she says is to blame. >> border cracks, how did a man on the terror watch list spend nearly a year inside the united states after being released by the border patrol? the nbc news exclusive reporting. one year later, ralph yarl, the teenager shot in the head after ringing the wrong doorbell. his thoughts on forgiving the man who shot him. getting down to brass tax, t-a-x, three days left to file your taxes. >> just stressed thinking about that. >> got yours in already? >> i think we sent our last document this morning, actually, to our accountant. so, no shade for me if you're still getting them done, i'm

right there with you. >> one of those weeks. >> we're going to begin with arizona today, vice president kamala harris is delivering remarks about abortion in tucson. >> after the arizona supreme court upheld a civil war era law banning nearly all abortions, the ruling has mobilized arizona voters on both sides of the abortion debate, the vice president's second trip to arizona in the past couple of months, she's on a cross country tour focusing on abortion rights and the critical battleground states that could decide the 2024 election. >> correspondent dana griffin is in tucson for us today, so, dana, specifically, what are we expecting to hear from the vice president? >> reporter: yeah, kate, we are expecting her to essentially slam the former president donald trump for what she calls his role in this health crisis, she goes on to say that donald trump is the architect of this health care crisis, and that is not a fact he hides, and that, he

brags about it. she goes on to say that here's what a second trump term looks like. more bans, more suffering, less freedom, but we are not going to let that happen. well, donald trump himself is also weighing in on this issue, he has sort of flopped on this issue before, he said earlier back in the '90s that he was wrote choice but that dehid not like the concept of abortion but even today or earlier this week, he says this issue should be left up to the states and he's doubling down on that stance, saying on truth social today, the supreme court in arizona went too far on their abortion ruling in acting and approving an inappropriate law from 1864. now the governor and the arizona legislature must use heart, common sense, and act immediately to remedy what has happened. and voters here across the state, as you mentioned, arello the people of arizona to decide whether they codify reproductive

rights access here in the state, and many i've talked to said they are eager to vote yes, and they want to make sure there is some protection in this state. zinhle, kate? >> dana, notably, nbc news has now reporting on arizona republican senate candidate kari lake, at one point called the 1864 arizona law great, now she's calling state legislatures asking them to repeal the state's abortion. can you tell us more about how state republicans are now navigating this isn agreement w lake, but just earlier this week there was an effort to create a special rule that would repeal this law, but some republicans stymied that effort, everyone went home, they're back in session wednesday and we're hearing word they will try once again to try to repeal this civil war-era law, but it's going to be an uphill battle. that's why you have people out now canvassing for an extra signatures to make sure this initiative gets on the november

ballot, back to you. >> dana griffin with the latest, thank you. embattled house speaker mike johnson is in florida right now getting ready to meet with the man who could help save his job. >> we're talking about donald trump. the two were scheduled to deliver remarks together ant election integrity at trump's mar-a-lago estate this afternoon, the move comes as republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene pushes an effort to oust speaker johnson. capitol hill correspondent ali vitali is in west palm beach. what do we expect to hear from former president trump and speaker johnson, and what kind of impact could this have on the upcoming election? >> reporter: well, guys, explicitly they are here to talk about election integrity, specifically the idea of non-citizens voting, which is a very rare problem, and one that's already made illegal in many, many laws, both federal and state, nevertheless, just to give you a sense of what they're going to be talking about, we're talking about out of every million votes cast, we're talking about 1.3 votes cast by

a non-citizen, and, again, those are pretty easily prosecutable, and so this is really a moment of a solution in search of a problem, and speaker johnson coming in, really pandering to one of former president trump's favorite issues, which is saying that there was fraud, specifically in the 2020 election, despite the fact that, "a," there was none, and "b," he lost that election despite the way that he continues lying about having won it, but the real thing that johnson is here for, in my conversations with republican lawmakers, is the fact that he comes in, in an embattled and weakened position, from the house republicans on capitol hill, not just because of the ongoing battle over ukraine aid, but also because of the battle that they just finished today over reforming data privacy and government surveillance, it's a battle that johnson maybe earned more enemies on, when i talk to republicans, they say that coming down here for trump is both about proximity and protection that the former president could potentially offer him in an increasingly tense moment in his speakership, that doesn't mean that he's going to come out without

continued threats of ousting from his job, but it is a moment where he's hoping for a little bit of backup from the former president, especially, guys, as our understanding from the trump campaign is, what happens on capitol hill does not happen in a vacuum. if there's chaos there, it translates out onto the campaign trail, and that is not the image that the former president wants to project as he heads into the summer, and then of course the general election, not to mention the fact that he's going fob in court during those months as well. this is a moment where johnson and trump could potentially help each other but it's interesting to see them stand next to each other, potentially taking questions from reporters, and if there's any awkward moments that come up, as marjorie taylor greene is both the thorn in johnson's side and also one of former president trump's most outspoken allies, interesting, guys. >> we know you'll be tracking it all, ali vitali, thank you. nbc news exclusive now, u.s. officials say they've detained a man who's on the terror watch list after he spent nearly a year living freely in the united

states. >> 48-year-old mohammed harwin is a member of an afghanistan based terror organization, illegally crossed the southern border last year and was briefly detained before being released into the united states, applied before work authorization, and even took some domestic flights. correspondent julia ainsley has the exclusive reporting for us. >> we should say that now this man, 48-year-old mohammed harwin is in custody, taken into custody after our initial reporting last night, and we understand from u.s. sources that he is not -- he did not cross the border on a terrorist mission based on the information they had available as of this morning, but that said, there were enough concerns that he was eventually the fbi told dhs about this man and take a look at what we learned. an alarming development on the border crisis, among the record number of migrants crossing the southern board was a member of an afghan terror organization, who was released into the u.s. by border agents. according to u.s. officials.

48-year-old mohammed harwin illegally crossed into california in march of last year, his name is on a u.s. terror watch list, identifying him as a member of hig, a terror group that's killed americans and afghanistans. he was suspected to be on the watch list at the time of his apprehension but lacked corroborating information according to u.s. officials. cbp released him without contacting the fbi or immigration and customs enforcement, those officials told us. he was allowed to apply for work authorization and board planes in the u.s. according to those officials. after almost a year i.c.e. arrested him here in san antonio, when he went to court, u.s. officials tell us, i.c.e. officials withheld classified information about hit terrorism ties, a judge released him on $12,000 bond which he posted and was freed last month. his case appears to be one of at least three incidents in the past two years involving suspected terrorists being released by customs and border

protection, according to the dhs inspector general and congress. it comes as president biden faces fierce criticism of his handling of the border crisis, including from former president trump. >> many terrorists, many drug dealers at the highest level, they're all coming into our country. >> reporter: the percentage of people on the terror watch list apprehended at u.s. borders is a small fraction of all migrants encountered, .02% under president biden, .05% during the trump administration. >> any terrorist, or terrorist-linked individual trying to come into this country is unacceptable. >> reporter: we asked how a member of a terror group could be released into the u.s. by dhs. >> very, very rare. there's a large capacity and capability for both border patrol, i.c.e., federal law enforcement and the inner agency to identify that these individuals, as they come to the border. >> reporter: there are fears about tens of thousands of migrants evading agents as i that cross the southern border. the border patrol chief recently calling it a national security

threat and the fbi director warning about smugglers with ties to isis. >> there is a particular network that has, where some of the overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have isis ties that we're very concerned about. >> reporter: so, you can see, it is rare for someone to cross the border and even be found to be on this list, much less for them to be released. we understand after this happened they came in and did arrest this man. so he is in u.s. custody for the third time now. >> julia ainsley, incredible reporting, thank you. the oakland airport is pushing ahead with a controversial change. >> and taylor swift's music makes a return to tiktok. cnbc's contessa brewer joins us now. >> hi, kate and zinhle, oakland, california officials voted yesterday to rename the airport to san francisco bay oakland international airport, they want travelers to know how closes to to the bay area but san francisco has a problem with

that, in fact threatened to sue oakland for infringing on its airport trade mark. the final vote on the decision is scheduled next month. u.s. steel corp. shareholders just approved the proposed acquisition of the company by japan's napon steel, the transaction is expected to be complete in the third or fourth quarter, but of course the deal faces major hurdles, including opposition from president biden and a reported investigation by the department of justice over antitrust concerns. and taylor swift's music back on tiktok just in time for next week's release of her newest album, the tortured poets department, the platform's users were able to access the music starting yesterday, taylor's music and that of hundreds of artists under universal music group were pulled from tiktok in january over licensing issues but it appears they've all just, you know, shaken it off. >> oh. >> well done, well done. >> nice. >> ifrm we covered it, extensively in january. >> i made the same joke in january, actually. >> it still works. >> still works, contessa,

thanks. >> thanks. coming up, quitting time, why giving up on something could actually set you on path towards success. plus, shohei ohtani's former interpreter turns himself in interpreter turns himself in after being charged uhhh. katie! i knew i'd find you here. i know, it's wild. i'm you from the future! anyway our doctor figured it out. all that constipation with belly pain that keeps coming back, it's ibs—c. she said linzess could help you get ahead of it. whatta you say? yess! get ahead of your ibs—c with linzess. linzess is not a laxative. it's a once—daily pill that helps you get ahead of your symptoms. it's proven to help you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. and helps relieve overall abdominal symptoms... belly pain, discomfort, and bloating. do not give linzess to children less than two. it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe.

shooting was captured on body camera video and a warning some may find it disturbing, the akron police department showed this footage showing an officer footing 15-year-old tavion williams, he was holding a toy gun. the police department blurred parts of this video. he was shot in the wrist and is expected to recover. the department says the officer who pulled the trigger is on paid administrative leave. nbc news correspondent shaquille brewster has been following this story. what did the teen's family say today? >> with heard them say that while tavion survived the shooting, he's having trouble going to leap and trauma has taken over his life and they came to that press conference with specific demands, including having the officer, and calling for the officer involved to be fired, considering the things we learned in that officer's personnel file. they're calling on the u.s. department of justice to step in and launch a pattern and practice investigation into the akron police department. i want you to listen to a little bit more of what we heard from his mother as she put this in

the context of other police shootings in ohio. >> it is not okay. and we are sick and tired of watching our basicallies die in the hands of people who swore an oath to protect and serve. it has to stop. because it won't just be my child, it will be yours next. >> we saw tavion walk out of that press conference with some bandages on his wrist. he can expect to have a scar that will last forever. >> and shaq, we know the ohio bureau of criminal investigations is also investigating this shooting, do we have a sense of exactly what they're looking at? >> reporter: yeah, this is standard practice in ohio, that independent agency was on the scene in the hours after the shooting. they're going to collect evidence, and turn over that evidence to the attorney general who will present the findings to a grand jury. based on what we've seen, this agency do in the past, you can

expect them to talk to officers involved, you can expect them to go through some of the video and go through and do a forensic analysis of the crime scene, i should also note the fraternal order of police, separate from the department, but represents the union that represents the officers, they say that they believe this officer acted in accordance with his training, zinhle. >> shaquille brewster with the latest, thanks. the former interpreter for shohei ohtani has surrendered to authorities now, he's turned himself in and is now in custody. he appears in court formally charged, steal issing more than $16 million from ohtani to pay off gambling debts. liz kreutz has been following the story since the beginning. she joins us from los angeles. liz, what do we expect to happen in court when he makes the first appearance? >> reporter: well, we know he turned himself in today to federal authorities, and that we

do expect to see him in court here in federal court in los angeles, within the next hour or so, we do not expect him to enter a plea today, so likely there will be a date set for another trial appearance where he can then enter into some plea. we can kind of take some clues from some other examples that have stemmed from this larger federal criminal investigation into an illegal gambling operation. so far federal authorities have been able to have charges and convictions against a dozen other people, including a former dodger yasiel, two casinos have been implicated and many of the people that have been charged there have taken plea deals. we also know with, he admitted to doing this in text messages obtained by federal prosecutors, they laid out all these text messages in their criminal complaint, and they show exchanges and messages between

mitzuhara and this illegal bookmaker, three weeks ago after the story broke, the bookmaker teches him and says obviously you didn't steal from him, referring to ohtani, to which case mitzuhara writes back, technically i did steal from him, it's all over for me. that's the evidence against him, as for shohei ohtani, he's been cleared by federal authorities and people be back playing tonight here at dodgers stadium, kate. >> liz kreutz for us, thank you. still ahead, meta unveils still ahead, meta unveils new tools to prevent the (psst! psst!) ahhh! with flonase, allergies don't have to be scary. spray flonase sensimist daily for non-drowsy long lasting relief in a scent free, gentle mist. flonase all good. also, try our allergy headache and nighttime pills. depend keeps you drier than ever, so you can say yes to more than ever. yes-s-s! yes. yes!

organizations and people engage in that conversation, and support that kind of change. >> antonia hylton, thank you so much. well, meta is announcing new tools that it is testing for instagram, to prevent what's known as sextortion, or coercing someone to share an intimate photo and using the photo to blackmail someone, morning news now anchor savannah sellers got an exclusive look how the new feature aims to keep kids safe online. >> reporter: after criticisms that platforms aren't doing enough to protect users, meta is testing new tools to prevent sex torsion, or coercing into sharing an intimate photo and blackmailing them to -- >> we will be using technology and signals to identify potentially suspicious sextortion accounts and try to prevent them from messaging with minors. >> we're focused on intimate

can tell. >> there are a lot of hidden gems in our culture, it's great to see her being received in that way. >> we put a very high bar about anybody cooking our food, and we're not shy about expressing that. >> exactly. >> reporter: a pride and a message to the world that being exactly who you are is enough. >> the young people cooking the same kind of way i'm cooking can say there is value to our foods. they can see it. and can show pride in it as well. that's what michelin has done for our food here. >> reporter: meagan fitzgerald, nbc news, london. >> great story, thank you. the clock is ticking, we are only three days away from tax day. >> oh. so if you haven't already, don't forget, you have until monday night, monday night at midnight to get them in. nbc news business and data correspondent brian cheung is here now with last-minute tips.

>> i'm done by the way. >> you're done? >> i'm done by the way. i don't know about you guys. >> i just got my last -- the last piece of information to my accountant, so, yes. >> we're just like you, we get them in, some of us procrastinate. for those of us who haven't done it yet, what do we do to make it smooth? >> you have some time. a few tips, april 15th is the final day to get your taxes in, but the idea here is you want to plan out how you file, make sure you've got the documents right. the time to spend looking for w-2s, e-file is a great way to make sure you get your return faster, 21 days the irs can get that payment to you if you're owed a refund, especially if you're hooked up through direct deposit and make sure you have accurate information and if you need to, file an extension if necessary. >> talk about that. how, is it easy, how do you go about filing an extension and you have to do it before monday. >> do it before monday and i want to emphasize if you owe the government money that's not really a flexible timeline, but

if you are filing for a refund you can get an extension of a few extra months, just file through the irs, and you would be able to get an extension through as late as october 15th. >> totally free, right? >> exactly. but not if you owe money. if you owe money, you have to get it in by monday. >> we know some people have more complicated tacks than others, maybe especially those who have side hustles. walk us through how folks with those need to strategize. >> a lot of people have side hustles and the bar is low in terms -- if you make more than $400 in the side hustle you will have to report it. it's not a lot. if you have a side hustle, a thick you do at home as a second gig, there are ways you can deduct from your taxes to hopefully alleviate what you have to owe on that if you bought a desk, for example, you might be able to deduct that as a business expense for the side hustle. again, make sure the software you're using, or that the tax preparer that's helping you out is fully abreast of all of these things. don't get in trouble for filing it incorrectly.

it can get complicated. be aware of those things. >> i discovered new things this year we were able to deduction-wise, if you do itemize. i guess you just talk to or go online and figure out what tools there are. >> again, with side hustles, if you bought, for example, a car because you needed to get around, that could be something that you would deduct but of course, don't try to deduct things for personal use. that's why you you want to double check and make sure it's something that will pass an audit from the irs. >> you don't want the irs questioning you. >> you certainly don't. >> brian cheung, thank you. the clock is ticking. >> thank you, brian. how some people say never give up. our next guest takes issue with that, says quitting can actually be a good thing. yore watching "nbc nu'ew

in today's mental health check you've likely heard the saying winners never quit, and quitters never win, many of us see quitting as a negative, or a sign of defeat, but our next guest says it doesn't have to be. >> yeah, he wrote the book on giving up, literally, and he says it's okay, even healthy, to throw in the towel, joining us now is the book's author adam phillips, a psychotherapist, thank you for joining us, i want to jump in with the bottom line here, you wrote this book on giving up. what's the point you're trying to make, what's the crux of your argument? >> well, it struck me, two things struck me, one was that

when people give things up, they believe they can change. when they give up, they believe they can't, and the things we tend to give up, like alcohol or drugs or smoking or even chocolate, tend to be things that are self-harming. and so, clearly, what we're trying to give up is our capacity to self-harm. when we harm ourselves we also harm the people who love us and like us. so, i suppose, i want to encourage people to think about how actually giving up might sometimes be very important. though we can be hypnotized into the idea that actually we must keep going, must be loyal, consistent, diligent, et cetera, whereas everybody who's had the experience of staying in a relationship for too long. >> yeah. >> or having to hold onto a pleasure or a passion, or an interest, when actually it has exhausted you. >> how do you know when it's time to give up? >> well, i think by definition you can't know, it's a risk, it involves a degree of stage

fright. you risk giving up a relationship or an object, and you find out, and it seems to be one of the reasons that makes us fearful of giving up, a fear of of our curiosity. the question then is, what do we then want? or who do we then want? >> it's fair to say, our society has gotten into the habit of giving up poorly, i think of quiet quitting here in the states, people quitting their jobs without maybe telling their employer, how do you recommend people give up in a way that's healthy and constructive? >> well, i think as people are encouraged to believe that giving up is shameful, they're going to do it secretly. it would seem to me that there could be a kind of -- and this could be taught in schools, if you like, but there could be an encouragement for people to actually acknowledge their frustrations without the frustration simply turning into rage, and cruise that frustration as a bulletin, that something is no longer working for them. and they can't know this, in absolute terms, they have to

take a risk, but something is -- and at that point you should at least have in your repertoire, the possibility of giving something up. >> it makes you think. and i know there's much more in the book. so, we'll have to get a hold of the entire book to understand more fully. adam phillips, wonderful to have you with us, thank you so much, appreciate it. >> thank you. well, we've got a lot more news ahead, don't give up on us. >> you're watching -- good one.
