campaign's visit to arlington national cemetery. why he's being accused of politicizing the military after an aide allegedly pushed a cemetery worker. breaking news. scathing report, a justice department watchdog blasts the fbi over its handling on child sexual abuse cases, why it said the bureau is failing to protect children and how the fbi is responding. bumpy start, labor day weekend travel is taking off but not without plenty of turbulence. what you need to know before heading out the door for the holiday. and good work, how did labor day come to me. i'll simply explain before you punch out for the long weekend. thanks so much for joining us again. we'll begin this hour with the race for the white house, the presidential election is now 68 days away and the candidates are not wasting time, both vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump are campaigning in key battleground states today.

vice president harris will look to rally voters in southeast georgia as former president trump holds events in michigan and wisconsin, the campaign push comes as we're learning new details about that incident at arlington national cemetery earlier this week, it involves a cemetery employee and a member of the trump campaign, one gold star mother who was there that day spoke to nbc news and is defending the former president over the controversy. >> i would have to say, are you in my shoes? i invited him. >> joining us now is mike memoli and garrett haake. mike, you were inside a lively venue where vice president harris will hold her rally later today and she's giving her first interview since becoming a democratic nominee alongside her running mate tim walz. what should we expect many terms of her messaging today?

>> reporter: i can confirm the lively atmosphere here inside the arena, let's start with the vice president wants to focus on today, after this interview with cnn she'll be conducting a few more stops on that bus tour focusing on that always-important issue of the economy and then she'll come here where she'll be introduced by a student as a big push for young voters. then lay out the differences between the dark and dangerous vision of the trump ticket focusing on project 2025 as opposed to the optimistic vision of the democratic party. >> mike, thanks so much. garrett, there's new information on what happened during that incident at arlington national cemetery on monday, what can you tell us. >> reporter: we'll get more

specificity from the army who put out a rare statement here can clarifying a little bit about what went down. anc employee who attempted to ensure adherence to these rules, rules against photography at the cemetery was abruptly pushed aside, this employee acted with professionalism and avoided further disruption. a police report was filed with military police about this incident. less interesting than the shove, the trump campaign very much broke the spirit the rules here at arlington by producing a tiktok video with music in the background showing his visit there even among section 60 where america's new war dead are laid to rest, we haven't heard the end of this story. >> garrett, senator j.d. vance is also on the trail today in pennsylvania, last night he used some pretty heated rhetoric

toward the vice president in response to the controversy you just outlined. let's take a listen. >> to have those 13 americans lose their lives and not fire a single person is disgraceful, kamala harris is disgraceful, want to talk about a story out of those 13 brave innocent americans who lost their lives it's that kamala harris is so asleep at the wheel she won't do an investigation into what happened and she wants to yell at donald trump because he showed up she can go -- she can go to hell. >> garrett, do we expect former president trump or senator vance to address these comments. >> reporter: they'll address in the sense that this is a conversation about afghan starks they'd like to be focused on the withdrawal from afghanistan. you hear j.d. vance yelling about kamala harris on

afghanistan, that's not happened. they want to keep highlighting the issue of the afghanistan withdrawal without being asked about the way they handled this arlington visit on monday. >> garrett, thanks so much. we're following break news from the department of justice, the inspector general has released a new report that's highly critical about the way the fbi investigated sexual abuse cases the fbi is currently mishandling child sexual abuse cases. some are a bit disturbing. the bureau's handling came under scrutiny after the case involving usa gymnastics doctor larry nassar. i want to bring in ken dilanian,

he's been following this one. ken, what did the report find and how is the fbi responding? >> reporter: three years after the fbi acknowledged mishandling of the larry nassar case, this new audit showed that the agency is still failing. reviewed a sample of 137 cases and found 42 that were so deficient that auditors felt copelled to contact the fbi. a child victim was abused by the same person all while the fbi failed to investigate the case. a second example, a 2-year-old girl was abused for 21 months. these cases mirror what happened in the nassar case, even though the fbi director ensured congress and the public this would never happen again. in a written response in the audit, this was mainly a case of failing to properly document

files something the report refutes showing 43% of the case require more fbi action not just paperwork. a background call with reporters, a senior fbi official mentioned budget cuts as one reason this is difficult. ensuring the safety and security of children is not just a priority for the fbi it's a solemn duty that we're committed to fulfilling with the highest standards. >> ken, what changes is the inspector general recommending the fbi make? >> reporter: yeah, the ig is recommending the fbi tighten policies and procedures. and be investigated within 24 hours, fbi monitor employees' compliance with mandatory training and the large caseload fbi agents have when it comes to child sex allegations. >> ken, thanks so much. now to the labor day travel rush officially under way, the

they want to make a case out of this they should be able to sell it on the real thing she should have learned about it is to take the keys away. >> will prosecutors file charges. >> on the one hand, if you're a michigan prosecutor and you're feeling confident you can sell this to a jury, this is everything, it's got some poor parenting choice and some obnoxious behavior. so maybe. >> danny, thanks so much. coming up, health official are sounding the alarm over dangerous mosquito-borne illnesses, when you should be illnesses, when you should be concerne [coughing] copd hasn't been pretty. it's tough to breathe and tough to keep wondering if this is as good as it gets. but trelegy has shown me that there's still beauty and breath to be had. because with three medicines in one inhaler,

time was about twice as fast the economy was growing than the three months before it, it's a solid performance, there you can see each -- that's a solid performance. it shows you that in the beginning of the spring the economy was actually gaining steam. >> it feels whiplash, we've talked about a looming recession, does that mean we can put those recession fears down. >> nothing in these numbers, numbers back then signal a recession. what you're seeing in some parts of the economy is growth that's a little bit slow than it had been before. you've got an economy that's still quite resilient. maybe it will slow a little bit from that strong second quarter into the end of the year, we don't know for sure, we know that job growth has slowed but it's still pretty sturdy. this paints a picture of an economy that's doing just fine. you look inside these numbers. consumer spending, very, very strong. business spending, strong. i mean, businesses spend money

on plants and technology and software when they're confident about the quarters ahead and that's what we're seeing in these numbers and the consumer, while complaining about inflation, changing their behavior to get better value, but still spending money. >> let me head hand you a crystal ball, where we're expecting a fed meeting where we're expecting fed rate cuts, could this impact that at all? >> so the fed is still expected to cut interest rates, begin cutting interest rates in september, i'd say a number like this suggests still a strong job market. you don't cut rates when there's a strong economy. just a fascinating moment. >> christine romans, thanks so much. growing concerns ahead of labor day weekend, mosquito-borne illnesses. just this week, new hampshire reported its first death from eee while in missouri a teenager infected with west is left

paralyzed. doctor, just how serious are the cases of west nile that we're seeing. >> reporter: they can be serious, that's why you're seeing a lot of the alarm here by public health officials. most people who get exposed to this won't actually get sick, large majority of people will be okay, maybe not even though they have the illness and will be okay. small majority of people who can develop disease. for some context here, we do see cases of this every year, traditionally in the gulf states, but what we're seeing it is in the northeast, that's why people are on alarm. >> doctor, these mosquito bites may look normal, when we should be concerned about why.

>> they may look normal. some symptoms overlap with other diseases that we see including those flu-like symptoms, a fe veer, body aches, some dee ria or vomiting, the thing to watch for is neurological symptoms. if you're having seizures, maybe you're drowier than normal that's when you want to seek treatment. >> we talked through different preventive measures, is it safe, should people be using it on themselves deet. >> it's absolutely safe. millions of people have used it. we don't know how it works. if you do use it it tends to have an unpleasant odor. you can repel mosquitos and keeping your family safe. >> briefly to the point of staying away from each other some cities are issuing curfews

as precautions, should we be staying inside until mosquito season is over. >> if you're in new hampshire, in one of those counties, i would absolutely listen to them. >> all right, doctor, we appreciate it. thank you. football season is just getting started, as schools all around the united states open their doors, but some parents are demanding stronger safety measures after a number of young players died. nbc's correspondent sam brock is here in studio with a closer look. sam what did you find. >> these deaths are devastating. they shouldn't happen. we've seen a spate of them and it's disconcerting. we've had a conversation about safety in youth sports as well. more steps have been taken to protect our kids. in the last several weeks, at least six teenagers have died

>> were you aware of any underlying health conditions that might have made him predisposed to something like this? >> i was not aware of any of it. the only thing i was aware that he had was allergies, that's it. >> reporter: researchers say that football fatalities are rare, but last year, a study found 16 football players at the youth and college levels died, three from traumatic injuries directly related to football and ten indirect fatalities like sudden cardiac arrest and heatstroke. >> i think at the high school level, most of the safety regulations are guidelines. and i think we wouldn't be seeing these deaths if they were more widely enforced. >> reporter: neuroscientist says dr. chris nowinski says at a bare minimum he wants to see a focus on avoiding certain practice habits.

>> if we could retrain coaches on how to play football without them getting hit in the head so much. >> an argument plea echoed by parents. >> we do not need to wait. we do not need one more child to lose their life. >> it's really important to note that there were three traumatic injuries last year, blunt force trauma right in line in your average x about 3 1/2 a year, but those indirect deaths occur three times as often and all heat stroke-related deaths are preventable. parents want more than just guidelines, they want them turned into requirements and law. >> sam brock, thank you. also a welcome to the new york bureau. well, labor day is almost here, but beyond barbecues and a final chance to wear that white, how has the way we worked changed over the years, here's

labor day simply explained. today, work looks a lot different. how would you describe the work place now than it was like a few decades. >> a buyers market versus a sellers market. >> reporter: ceo of society of human resources management. >> back in the day, employers if you will bought talent, up to the employer to determine the terms and conditions of employment. fast forward and in a knowledge based economy, everyone understands they sell their talents. and skills to organizations. >> reporter: this time, the seller, the american worker, is celebrated on labor day. >> labor day for many decades was closely tied to labor unions in the united states. especially up to the 1950s, '60s. >> reporter: at the time, union memberships were defined as craft unions.

>> it's very much not connected to labor unions anymore, which have declined in membership, you know, really since the 1970s, that image of a guy in steel toed boots that doesn't exist. >> reporter: today, just over 11% of american workers are in unions, down from a high of over 30% in the 1950s, how did we end up getting the day off? quick history lesson. >> labor day officially became a national holiday in 1894 and legislation signed by then-president grover cleveland. there's some dispute over which labor leader first proposed the idea to kind of strike one day a year. some state governments over the course of the 1880s started recognizing this as labor day. >> reporter: but the way we work has drastically changed. according to pew research center today 14% of employees are fully remote, that's compared to 5.7%

that worked from home in 2019 prior to covid pandemic. and the length of time spent in careers is changing, too. workers under 34 years old are on average switching gears every 1.3 years, that's compared to older employees switching every 4.9 years. why have we seen these changes. >> demographics, america's birthrate has been on the decline. >> reporter: transition, fewer workers and more demand. >> reporter: second, the nature of business in a knowledge-based economy. >> reporter: then there was covid. >> organizations are going to win are the ones who get the right people and keep them motivated. employers have to be focused on how we treat our employees. >> reporter: that's labor day simply explained. one more note, that expert we spoke to also mentioned that the types of industries young people are working in are changing. new roles like content creators, influencers are changing the market with some workplaces
