today, friday, may 31st, 2024, full blast donald trump, the nation's first former president found guilty of felony crimes, lashes out against the historic verdict. >> we're going to be appealing this scam. we're going to be appealing it on many different things. >> our team of correspondents and legal experts separate fact from fiction and what comes next. now, to november. voters nationwide reacting to trump's conviction with the election top of mind, what we're hearing on the ground in key battleground states, and from the presidents inside the white house. >> it's not you, it's me. anyone who's ever been in a romantic relationship has probably heard or used those words. so, could you be self-sabotagig your love life. the warning signs. >> turning the page, a novel approach when it comes to teaching children how to read, we'll take you through the abcs.

>> can't wait to get to that story. it is a busy day. we're starting this hour with a historic guilty verdict against donald trump. >> on may 30th at 5:08 p.m. mr. trump became the first president ever to be convicted of a crime. after ten hours of deliberation a jury in new york city found the former president guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. the judge set a sentencing date for july 11th. notably, that is four days before the start of the republican national convention. mr. trump's team is already preparing an appeal. >> with his three other criminal cases delayed, without set trial dates, this could be the only case to come to completion before the november election. we're going to talk about what this verdict means politically and legally, with our team of reporters, and analysts. so let's start with nbc news correspondent dasha burns and nbc news white house correspondent allie raffa. let's start with you. you heard from president biden about the verdict for the first time today, what did he say?

>> reporter: yeah, zinhle, president biden finally breaking his silence on this verdict for his predecessor, and now 2024 rival. he delivered remarks from the white house in which he said that former president trump, like any american, has a right to appeal this verdict. he also appeared to take a thinly veiled swipe at these attacks from former president trump on the justice department, stressing the legitimacy of this verdict. listen to some of his comments here. >> the american principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed. that's how the american system of justice works. and it's reckless. it's dangerous. it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict. >> reporter: the president choosing not to respond to my colleague kelly o'donnell's question asking him to react to former president trump, who

hours before had blamed president biden for his legal woes. obviously that silence standing in stark contrast to the biden campaign today who was using this verdict as an opportunity to fund raise and really remind voters of the stakes of the election, zinhle. >> thank you so much. and let's go to dasha burns who's out there as well, the former president also spoke out today at trump tower, dasha, what was his message? >> yeah, his first press conference since he was found guilty by that jury of 12 new yorkers. and in a 40-minute campaign style speech he lashed out at president biden, at the judge, at d.a. alvin bragg, even at michael cohen. and he didn't name cohen because cohen is a witness, and he's still under a gag order, which he may or may not have violated in this speech there. but he spent 40 minutes defending himself in this case. take a listen to some of it. >> this is a scam. it's a rigged trial. it shouldn't have been in that venue.

we shouldn't have had that judge. he should have allowed us to have an election expert. so we're going to be appealing this scam, the judge was a tyrant. this was standard stuff. all standard stuff. everything involved was standard. there was no crime here. >> reporter: the former president also touted his campaign's fund-raising numbers, campaign officials telling us they raised $34.8 million since the verdict was announced through midnight of last night, guys. >> all right, dasha burns, outside of trump tower, and allie raffa, thank you both. let's talk now about the legal fallout, and bring in nbc legal analysis danny cevallos and kristen gibbons feden, starting with you, next on the docket is the sentencing, we mentioned it's july 11th, juan merchan the judge will make this decision, trump said he's facing, when he spoke today, he said 187 years in prison. that's fact check that, that is

not true. what are the possible penalties the former president faces? >> the possible penalties are probation, fine, and he could face incarceration, each count carries up to four years in jail. but it's unlikely given his age, given the fact that this is a lower-level offense, and given the fact that he's a first time offender, it's unlikely he's facing jail time. if he is incarcerated, he's not going to get over a century in jail. >> all right. >> sorry, go ahead. >> danny, let's bring you in here, trump and his attorneys have said they are going to appeal, of course we can't just appeal because you don't like the decision. >> no. >> to you, what's the strongest arguments for an appeal? >> strongest arguments are jury instructions, if for no other reason than jury instructions are the most common best case for an appeal statistically, in appellate court you're usually going to lose but jury instructions are your best bet and then after that you might argue that some of the testimony by stormy daniels and possibly michael cohen went too far, went into the realm of too

prejudicial. >> too much detail? >> too much detail on an issue that wasn't probative of the underlying crime. for example, the allegations are the testimony about sex. that might have gone too far. however, the defense did not do a great job of objecting, as noted not by me, but by justice merchan himself. so, those are just a few different potential appealable issues, in addition to the complexity of the law and the novel theory of the case. >> let's look back at the defense, since you're a defense attorney, i'd love to ask about the defense that they put up in court, the defense attorney has said, this morning, that he and former president trump coordinated, and made decisions together on how to present their case. i guess my question is, if you have a figure like president trump trying to help you guide things, does that mean you have to say certain things, and then you don't maybe get to make the case that you might have made otherwise? >> yeah, i thought todd blanche had some favorable things to say about his client, most criminal defense attorneys, i'm not saying me necessarily, find that their clients can be really more trouble during a trial than they

are a help. and that's not really, in fairness to them, they may not understand the law, they don't understand what the rules of evidence are, and a lot of times they don't really understand the full nature of the proceedings. they are very frustrated listening to what they think is a parade of witnesses lying about them. so, look, the client normally isn't is best help. the attorneys should be making the strategic decisions. but on monumental decisions like whether or not to testify, those, of course, are the final call of the client. >> so we've talked a lot about the defense, kristen, let's go back to you, obviously the prosecution got the outcome they wanted. what about their case was effective? >> i think what made their case so effective was that they presented a clear and compelling narrative. and then, with that clear and compelling narrative, they backed it up and supported it with very strong evidence, and they didn't fall victim to all of the rhetoric, or the political grand standing. they didn't even respond to it. they didn't allow it to distract

them. they kept a focus case, and they allowed the strong evidence to carry the day for them. >> kristen gibbons feden, and danny cevallos, thank you both. there are also so many political ramifications of this conviction, the trump campaign says it has already raised more than $34 million yesterday, since the verdict happened, setting a new single-day record for the campaign. >> meanwhile, the biden reelection team agrees with trump saying ultimately the voters will decide whether or not the verdict matters come november. >> let's bring in nbc news senior washington correspondent and "nbc news now" anchor hallie jackson. good to have you once again. thank you for coming. a lot of voters have already said they've made up their minds and they're commit today biden or trump. >> most people. >> but there is this segment of voters who in polling have said maybe a conviction might change my mind. can we talk about them, and could this conviction end up being pivotal for november?

>> it could. i think that what you've heard in the political pundit world, a couple of things. one school of thought says this changes nothing, and one cool of thought says this changes everything. neither of those things are probably true, but there's a lot in the middle. kate, most people have made up their minds, that's what they say right now but there is a slice of persuadable people who say that, hey, if you were to be convicted, i would be less likely to vote for him. hypothetical is different from a reality. we're going to have to see as polls get out in the field and we get a better sense broadly. we have an amazing team of campaign embeds there talking to voters in wisconsin, arizona, pennsylvania, since today, since the verdict came in and you are seeing people with the fallout, falling largely along party lines, people who tend to support president biden are telling our team things like, well, i believe that this shows the rule of law works, i believe that this was the inevitable result. people who support former

president trump say i'm going to vote for him anyway, this is not a real thing in their view, and i'm paraphrasing here. >> picking up on the -- >> people see -- a lot of folks are calcified. one thing to add quickly here, not every single person has been paying super close attention to this. the conviction is obviously breaking through. people know that donald trump has been convicted here, largely, but as far as the ins and outs of the hush money trial, 30% of people said they weren't following every turn. >> hallie, digging into that political party point for a minute. we know many republicans, even potential running mates with trump are saying we don't like this verdict, they're criticizing it, obviously. but what's the vibe when it comes to the "veep" stakes and what we're hearing from potential vp picks. >> immediately you heard from the short list or speculative list of potential running mates for the former president echoing his claim that his conviction, he feels, has been unfair. you've seen folks making the tv rounds, i'm talking about people like marco rubio, or senator jd

vance. talking about vps, what's super interesting to me, his former vice president, mike pence, no love lost between these two but even mike pence is coming out and saying this verdict was a disservice to the american people. what's so interesting to me. what mike pence, and mitch mcconnell also not a fan of donald trump. >> right. >> and yet suggests that he believes his appeal would be successful. these are not hard core trump loyalists. these are people who are on the fringes, and yet look at where they stand. it says a lot. >> notable. hallie jackson, great to have you, thank you so much, and don't miss hallie coming up on hallie jackson now streaming live at 5:00 p.m. eastern on "nbc news now." coming up, president biden calls for a permanent cease-fire in gaza, the proposal that he says israel has agreed to. plus, voters in mexico will make history this weekend, we'll tell you how and what it means for america for america you're. w uhhh. katie! it's future you. constipation with belly pain again?

earlier today president biden spoke for the first time since former president donald trump's criminal conviction. the president reiterated that no one was above the law, and that it is, quote, dangerous for mr. trump to suggest that the trial was rigged. but the majority of his speech was actually focused on the middle east and outlining a cease-fire proposal to end the war in gaza. >> it's time for this war to

end. for the day after to begin. >> joining me now, nbc news international correspondent josh lederman. so, josh, tell us more about this new plan, and how it's being received. >> reporter: well, zinhle, the white house is characterizing this as a new proposal that would actually lead to a permanent end to this war. that is news, because israeli officials as of this week have been saying they thought this war could continue potentially until the end of the year. so, it really lays out three phases. the first of which would see israel withdraw from the major populated areas in gaza. there would also be a release of some hostages like women, and elderly hostages in exchange for palestinian prisoners and during those six weeks they would have to negotiate the second phase, actually a permanent withdrawal from all of gaza, by israeli troops, the release of all of the other living hostages, and essentially an end to the war. and then there would be a phase three, which would involve reconstruction of gaza. but president biden come to the

white house today made clear among his concerns is israel could back away from its own proposal. >> i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely. some. some are even in the government coalition. i ask you to take a step back. think about what will happen if this moment is lost. >> reporter: and so, zinhle, it will come to know surprise to you, given how long we have been talking about this conflict, that this is far from a done deal. we have not heard anything yet from hamas. but we have heard from israel's prime minister saying that their proposal does not back away from israel's long standing insistence that an end to the war would have to involve the complete eradication of hamas's military and governing abilities. it is unclear at this point, that is not something president biden included in his description of this, and it's very unclear whether hamas would be willing to agree to something

that would essentially lead to its own demise. >> josh lederman, thanks. mexico is gearing up for its largest election in history this weekend, and it could have implications for the united states. more than 20,000 local, state, and national seats in mexico are up for grabs. that includes president, and for the first time ever the two front runners for the top job are women. this historic campaign cycle is also come with a dramatic rise in political violence in mexico, nbc news correspondent guad venegas is following all of it in mexico city for us. it seems like the next leader of mexico will almost certainly be a woman with the two front runners female. what are you hearing from voters? >> reporter: kate, the leading she was one of the proteges, according to the experts here. mexican voters are placing a lot

of attentions on the issues with public safety, in mexico. mexico has been dealing with organized crime all around the country and specifically during this election cycle there's been a lot of violence against candidates and also people involved with many of these candidates. one of the leading political consulting firms has updated their number today, to 36 aspiring candidates or candidates killed during the election cycle, this is an issue that is historic because of the number of individuals that have suffered from that violence. and the voters are worried about that. but when it comes to americans, there's going to be a lot of attention placed on immigration. mexico has agreed with the united states, to enforce immigration laws, to keep the number of migrants that go through mexico and arrive at the u.s.-mexico border at less than 4,000 a day, which is going to be difficult because mexico's reporting 7,000 migrants arriving through its southern border. that's a ticking time bomb while

they maintain with the u.s. government, and the next president will have those challenges, immigration, public safety, among other things, but again, historic because as you mentioned, the two leading candidates here are claudia sheinbaum and xochitl galvez. >> guad, thank you so much. and coming up, texas slammed by another round of dangerous storms as severe weather grips other parts of the country. we'll tell you what you need to be on the lookout for coming up next on "nbc news daily." >> we are also streaming for free 24/7 on "nbc newsow." nyo you'll find them in cities, towns and suburbs all across america. millions of americans who have medicare and medicaid but may be missing benefits they could really use. extra benefits they may be eligible to receive at no extra cost. and if you have medicare and medicaid, you may be able

vans and busses. the demonstrators demand the uc system divest in israel completely, something it refuses to do. just after midnight this morning, chp officers, backed up by officers from several different agencies in riot gear, began swarming around the demonstrators, who resisted and told the officers they're on the wrong side of history. in this police action. a short time ago, we were able to talk to some of those demonstrators before they were pushed off the campus who were still locking arms in a large scrum and refusing to leave. they crushed us. they've been assaulting us since 12 a.m. they've been hitting women, grabbing people by their hairs, taking our shoes. they took our phones. they deployed 150 units to our campus. for what? what are they even doing here? a uc santa cruz spokesperson told nbc berry in a written statement that the encampment, which has been here since may 1st, was unsafe and demonstrators refused several requests to break down the encampment. she said unfortunately, some refused and many are being arrested. we do

not have that official report on arrests or what charges might be filed against some of these demonstrators who were taken away with their wrists in those zip ties. but we hope to get more information on from police later on today in santa cruz. tom jensen, nbc, bay area news. we have new details into our newsroom out of oakland. police make arrests in connection to a shooting last week after a high school graduation ceremony. it happened in the parking lot of skyline high. police say two groups leaving the graduation ceremony got into a fight and then opened fire. three people were injured in the shooting. they are all expected to be okay, but police now say three young people have been arrested. two of the suspects were taken into custody shortly after it all unfolded. the third suspect showed up at the hospital with gunshot wounds. it is still slow going in the santa cruz mountains after a metro bus crashed. four people on board that bus, including the driver, were hurt. it happened on northbound highway 17 near the

league history, the first and only time the mavericks won the championship was back in 2011. let's continue our coverage of this hour's top story, the conviction of former president donald trump. while he is the first former president to be convicted of a crime he is also the presumptive republican nominee, of course, in this year's election. >> with this year's rematch shaping up to be a tight race thursday's verdict could impact who voters choose, especially in those swing states and counties often decided by a narrow margin. nbc news correspondent david noriega has been talking to voters in reno, nevada and also here with us in studio, nbc news national political correspondent steve kornacki at the big board. david, on the ground there, how are voters reacting to this verdict? is it moving the needle at all? >> reporter: hey, guys, yeah, so from what we're hearing on the ground for the most part it is not moving the needle, one thing that i keep hearing from people on both sides, people who like trump, and people who don't like trump that stands out to me,

this verdict doesn't deliver any new information, doesn't change the nature of the persona of donald trump that they're already familiar with, from years prior. you know, whether they like him or not. however, we did meet one voters who said that this is directly influencing his vote. we actually met him at the post office, where he went to register to vote, for donald trump, because of the verdict, which he says he otherwise would not have done. he says this is because he himself was convicted of a felony, and spent some time in prison in california, some years ago. he knows what the criminal justice system does to people and he doesn't like it. i want to play you a clip of our interview with him and with a few other voters back to back. take a look. >> as of last night. i have to see what happened to mr. trump, you know, i don't think that was fair, so i'm going to go ahead and register to vote, and set the record straight. >> it's kind of more cemented my opinion about the guy, like, everything that came out in the verdict didn't surprise me at all, just sounded like things he would do. >> i've been a trump supporter

since 2016, voted for him twice, planning on voting again, yesterday just cemented that fact for me. >> i'm tempted to go to lean to the democratic party just to get votes away from trump. i think donald trump is a terrible idea for this country. >> reporter: the county where i am is a very tight, very purple county. in these small changes along the margins make a difference, it's going to be in places like this. guys? >> david, thank you, so interesting to hear from voters. let's bring in steve kornacki and his big board. what is the polling telling us right now how this might play in november? >> there's two ways of looking at this, and maybe split this into two parts. start with the trial itself. that's what we do have polling for, we're waiting, obviously, on the reaction to the verdict. but for six weeks now there's been a trial, testimony, witnesses, there have been extensive media coverage, and we do have some polling to show what, if any, impact the trial itself had in the presidential

race. so here's a way to look at that. two polls here from queen peaia. both pollsters took polls that ended a few days ago. so they basically polled people at the end of the trial, before the verdict, but end of the trial. and you think you can see, it really didn't move the needle. in one biden's lead goes from three to two, he lost a point. in the other biden goes -- tied and then biden is ahead by one. basically, no change there is what you see when you put those together. and you also see that in the average of all the polls that were out there. start of the trial the poll average was .3 of a point in trump's favor. by the end defendant .9 of a point in trump's favor. basically no change there. reflected also in this number from quinnipiac, they asked folks at the start of the trial, did trump do something illegal. 46% said yes.

after all the testimony, 46% in the same poll still said yes. an unchanged number. also what we saw in the polling was, there's a gap in terms of who was following this trial. you see the democrats, republicans, much more interested. this is the folks who say they followed it closely. 40% of democrats, almost 40% of republicans. in just over 20%, big gap there, of independents. so, it seems that folks with strong opinions of trump, for or against, were more tuned in to this maybe the more marginal voters, and that gets to the second part, the big question. this verdict obviously making huge news is going to be all over the place here for days, for weeks, maybe for months. the question now is, did the trial affect public opinion? but people absorbing the result of the trial, the verdict, will that change public opinion? within the next few days we will get polls that will answer that. >> we will have you back for that.

steve kornacki, thank you. jurors in idaho are weighing the death penalty that comes one day after delivering a guilty verdict in the murder trial of aid hoe author chad daybell, in 2021 he along with his wife lori vallow daybell were charged in the deaths of two of ms. vallow's children as well as the murder of his previous spouse tamny daybell. ms. vallow was convicted last year and multiple life sentences for the murders. elwyn lopez has been following the story for us and joins us now. this is a case that captured national attention, get us up to speed on the timeline of these 2019 murders, and what we heard in closing arguments yesterday. #. >> reporter: this case has been in the making for years, there's been a lot of bizarre twists and turns in it, and the case is really centered around chad daybell's extreme religious beliefs that doomsday was coming as there were people with light and dark spirits and that those with dark spirits needed to die. now, keep in mind that chad

daybell was married to his wife tammy for 29 years when he met lori vallow. lori vallow's children tylee and j.j. went missing in 2019 and less than a month after that is when tammy, chad daybell's wife was found dead under suspicious circumstances and then in 2020 is when tylee and j.j.'s remains were found on daybell's property, they later exhumed tammy's body and found she died not of natural causes, but of a murder, and due to asphyxiation. take a listen to what j.j.'s grandfather said after jurors delivered that guilty conviction. >> jj, you're 12 years old. jj, i miss you. tylee, i hope you have grown to be a beautiful woman. >> reporter: and prosecutors are now seeking the death penalty in this case. we're hearing from victim impact statements right now as they decide that sentencing. zinhle? >> elwyn lopez, thanks so much.

in today's modern parenting, we're talking about literacy challenges among young people, which have fueled intense debate over how we should be teaching our kids to read. well, today we wanted to take a look at one program making a difference in north carolina. our sponsor, the chen zuckerberg initiative, introduced us to this unique program trying something new, called reach every reader, it's with m.i.t. and florida state university, aiming to give kids a new strategy to learn reading. >> good morning, everybody, and welcome to m.o.r.e. >> reading is important because it helps you when you grow up. >> if you don't know how to read, you can't get a diploma. >> and it helps you read books, too. >> reporter: these students at this elementary school in north carolina are in third grade, a year experts say is pivotal for kids learning how to read. >> what we have in the united states is a reading crisis.

>> reporter: dr. maryanne wolf is a literacy expert, author and cognitive neuroscientist with more than four decades of experience in education. >> the average fourth grader is not achieving the levels of what we call proficiency, or fluency in reading that will allow them to use reading to learn the rest of their lives. >> reporter: but an initiative called reach every reader thinks they've found part of the solution. rather than have one class dedicated to reading, they're weaving reading across subjects, like science and social studies. >> across all those subjects there are words that tend to appear together, and so our hypothesis was, if we could help kids understand very deeply a few difficult, and deep words, by difficult, i mean words that are multiple syllables, and they're deep because the meaning of those words depends on the subject in which they appear,

that it could help them across subjects. >> i want you to think about an ecosystem. i see two parts to that word. what two parts do you see? eco and -- >> reach every reader calls this technique the model of reading engagement, or m.o.r.e. >> i think of it as tricking them into reading but using science and social studies to help children develop the word and content knowledge that they can then transfer across different disciplines. >> okay, so you're comparing and contrasting these two in the end. >> reporter: so far this program has reached 45,000 kids across 102 schools in north carolina. teachers have been implementing the strategy for the last six years. >> what does the prefix un mean? >> they say it's making a difference. >> you see students who smile more, who take more risks, even if they're not sure that their answer is right, they're participating, they're trying.

>> they are using bigger words. they are using them in their writing. they're using them in their conversation. they're using them when they go google something because they want to know, for lack of a better word, more. >> reporter: as for these third graders, they're already thinking about what they want to be when they grow up. >> a football player. >> a microbiologist. >> i want to be a labor nurse. >> reporter: and these ambitions all have one thing in common, the need to read. >> you have to read the plays. if they don't know the plays, they don't know what to do. >> i need reading so i don't get the babies mixed up. >> reporter: i'm a big believer in what frederick douglass said about literacy is freedom. i think if kids can read, then a lot of opportunities are available to them that wouldn't otherwise be. >> when i see them succeed, i know the world's going to be okay. they're hoping to expand

their efforts to get into even more schools. >> i love it, and i love to see how engaged the kids are in the reading, all the content. it's beautiful. >> and saying what they want to do when they grow up and they know they need to read to do those things. it's pretty inspirational. >> thanks, kate. coming up, love, if you're hot, then you're cold, your yes, then your no. >> thank you, katy perry. you could be self-sabotaging

in today's mental health check we're talking about your love life. >> specifically something that people are talking a lot about on social media, self-sabotaging a romantic relationship. >> i'm afraid of being hurt, so these are the ways that i self-sabotage. >> self-sabotage. >> why self-sabotage. >> there's that word again and again. if you think you might be getting in the way of your own happiness, our next guest has tips how to stop doing that. joining us is judy hoe, a clinical neuropsychologist, the author of the book stop self-sabotage. the right person to talk to. dr. judy, break down for us, what does self-southbound tajjing in a relationship look like? what are some examples? >> well, kate, i have an acronym called l.i.f.e. that describes

why people self-sabotage, but in terms of what self-sabotage looks like, it could be hot and cold behavior in a relationship, creating self-fulfilling prophecies, testing people, setting up challenges. the bar keeps moving, no matter what they do it's not good enough or co-dependency, overrelying on the other person for your self-esteem. pushing people away when they get too close and expecting people to read your mind. being upset with them when they don't do what's going on in your head. >> the acronym you mentioned l.i.f.e., explain why people do it, walk us through that. >> like i say to everybody that i work with about their self-sabotage, i say, life happens, it happens to the best of us. it happens to all of us. most people self-sabotage due to one or more of these factors. "l" stands for low or shaky self-esteem. it could be different, great career self-esteem, great

physical health self-esteem but your self-esteem with relationships, not as great. internalized beliefs from childhood, that's the "i." these are modeling that you've seen from your parents, how they intact, what adult relationships were modeled for you as a child and you take those beliefs into your own adult relationships. f stands for fear of the unknown. when it involves another person you can't always know what's going on and sometimes not being able to step forward because of that fear can lead to sabotaging relationships. and finally, excessive need for control, this is me calling out you perfectionists, type "a" people, and i say this lovingly, because i see myself as a type "a" person, but that excessive need for control isn't great with a relationship when you have to partner and maybe compromise too. >> i know that. so, is this something we do intentionally, or unconsciously? >> i think that for most people it's subconscious, but even when you consciously are aware of it, what i hear oftentimes is i'm self-sabotaging, oh well and

people don't walk away thinking there are solutions, really, what causes it, it's an evolutionary strategy that got turned on its head, we all want to prevent bad things from happening to us. when that switch gets turned too much, then that's the problem, we end up thinking about the threat rather than the reward. >> how do we stop self-sabotaging in our relationships, and what do we do if we're in one and we see our partner maybe doing those behaviors? >> it all goes back to our thoughts. being aware of our thinking, the thinking drives our feelings, and then our behaviors. and then additional thoughts. really start paying attention to your thoughts. what was i just thinking right before i noticed my self-sabotage? if you notice your partner is the one self-sabotaging, no judgment and don't call them out. you're self-sabotaging or show them that tiktok video. just tell them the behaviors you saw and then ask them what they think about that. let them lead that part of the discussion instead of you reading their mind and don't answer for them. when you use silence judiciously

you get a ton of information about how the other person is thinking and feeling. >> yeah. >> just quickly, how else do people self-sabotage in their life beyond romantic relationships? >> well, the biggest one that i can think of is procrastination. it affects so many of us. we try to do our best but we think that by waiting until the last minute we will be inspired, oftentimes, we don't have enough time to execute our great ideas orb disregarding your friendships, overcompeting at work, blowing your physical health goals after one setback or mistake, or staying in anger or resentment with your family. that anger only hurts yourself. >> judy ho, thanks so much, we appreciate it. >> much more news ahead. >> don't go anywhere. you are watching "nbc news daily."

shanghainese, along with 13 other languages. they just, service is a perfect, we were underinsured when she came to us, but, asian health services helped us clean up her insurance so that she can get some health care. so they provide more services for the entire community. they also advocate and support for people impacted by asian hate. they motivated and mobilized immediately after covid as well. they sponsor legislation and they spread awareness, and they provide programs to help victims navigate their emotions, perhaps even to report the crimes. i'm honored to emcee their gala. in fact, this year, their 50th anniversary celebration is held later in september. now we have many more stories onlineat our website, you just head over to nbcbayarea.com .com/ aa and nhpi to see them back to you. thanks, mike, a great program and lots of great stories for aanhpi
