it more expensive to get a mortgage or path your credit card debt. >> elizabeth, you know this is just a ripple effect. it makes your credit cards more expensive, mortgages get more expensive, potentially. your bills to get a new car get more expensive every time this goes up, so a strong jobs market but not necessarily great for borrowers. thank you so much for joining us. michael? >> thank you, rebecca. turning now to the new details on a cruise ship that crashed into a pier while docking. more than 4,000 people were on board. the coast guard is now investigating. will carr is in san francisco with the latest. >> good morning, michael. passengers described a jarring impact. that ship was supposed to be on its way to alaska this morning, but crews have been working overnight welding the hull the base of the ship

incidents are something that we are going to have to be addressing on a more regular basis, and are simply going to be part of the routine of what we do out here every day. >> new york state parks releasing this video showing more than 50 sharks off the coast of long island on tuesday. beaches are now taking action, training lifeguards to use drones to check for shark activity, as well as encouraging more use of jet skis to patrol the immediate area. and, to give you some perspective, according to the international shark attack file, since the 1830s there's only been 20 confirmed shark attacks in new york. four of them were confirmed just this week, and there's still plenty of summer swimming left. guys? >> trevor, like you said in that piece, this is not a passing trend, so be careful out there. thank you so much for that. we are going to turn now to lotto fever, it's heating up. the mega millions and powerball jackpots soaring to more than a billion dollars.

or something, so i just go get weston to dive down to see if he's okay. >> that's 12-year-old noah on the floaty. he tells his brother, weston, on the side of the pool, what's happening. >> his head was going up and down. i knew he wasn't okay. >> watch as weston jumps in. he reaches down and pulls griffin to the surface, griffin to the surface, and with help, to the side of the pool. their mother, celise, calling 911. >> we need help, we need help! >> is he outside of the pool? >> yep, he's outside. they're giving cpr because he's not breathing and he's blue. >> his mother instantly started cpr. >> that's his mother pumping his chest. he starts breathing and his mother rubs his back as he coughs up pool water. >> i was scared i was going to drown. it felt a little weird. i spit out some water and that's it. >> but that isn't where the story ends.

some industry insiders as the twitter killer. in a cease and desist letter obtained by abc news, twitter accusing meta of misappropriating twitter's trade secrets, and claiming meta knowingly hired former twitter employees who retain proprietary information. the letter even calling threads a copycat. outspoken twitter owner, elon musk, who had been uncharacteristically quiet since threads' debut, tweeting thursday, "competition is fine. cheating is not." a spokesperson for meta tweeting back, posting, "no one on the threads engineering team is a former twitter employee. that's just not a thing." and meta cofounder mark zuckerberg claiming more than 30 million signed up for threads just hours after it launched, threatening to pluck twitter's 330 million active users. >> the app feels more personal because it's using all your personal information they've collected on facebook and instagram and other apps. >> the interface has some elements to the twitterverse, offering a repost button that

looks just like the retweet function. in contrast to the controversial decision to limit the number of tweets users can read in a day, threads has no boundaries on how many posts users can see. >> in less than a day, threads appears to be on track to be the most rapidly downloaded app ever, far outpacing chatgpt, which was downloaded 1 million times within the first five days. at this pace, threads could have more than 100 million followers in 2 months, beating chatgpt and inching closer to twitter's total users. guys? >> thank you so much for that, erielle. let's bring in chief legal analyst dan abrams. thank you for joining us this morning. does elon musk have a legitimate case here? >> it's going to depend on what exactly are the trade secrets he is saying are at issue. you can't just say, "hey, these people used to work at twitter and now they're working at meta and i'm going to sue you over it." he's fired a lot people, et cetera. so you have got to actually be able to show that there were

proprietary secrets that were taken, and used. part of the problem is twitter is not known as an engineering marvel. it's not known for having a ton of proprietary technology. so the question is going to be, exactly what are you alleging was stolen, and how was it used? >> now, these trade secrets cases can result in huge payouts. could this threat result in meta doing anything differently in how they operate? >> they could be billions of dollars, these cases. there have been billion-dollar cases, trade secret cases. look, you have to believe that meta was expecting that this could happen. you have to believe that they were prepared for a possible lawsuit like this. so i do not expect anything differently immediately, but we will have to see what the next step is. >> dan, there have also been a lot of twitter competitors out there already and none of them were sued. what are the chances this actually goes to trial or become something? >> we have to first make sure it

even becomes a lawsuit. all this is right now is a threat. >> a piece of paper. >> "hey, retain all your documents. hey, we may sue you in the future." let's see if the lawsuit even happens. if the lawsuit does happen, again, it's going to come back to those issues we talked about at the outset, which is, what are the specific secrets? et cetera. >> dan abrams, something to watch in the future. that's for sure. >> absolutely. and let's hope there is still a cage match. >> we are still standing by. >> i just hope this doesn't ruin the cage match.

coverage, including to existing customers, and push providers to disclose extra charges like facility fees. now, we know this is a top issue for voters, no doubt the president will be out here touting this on the campaign trail. his challenge, it'll take time for americans to start to feel the impact. just take one example, the administration says this morning that the president's cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs will save nearly 19 million seniors $400 a year, but that law does not go into effect until 2025, whit. >> and, rachel, while we have you, i want to talk about a different story getting attention here. what is the latest in the investigation on the cocaine found at the white house? >> whit, we know secret service has been combing through surveillance video and video logs trying to get to the bottom of all of this. sources say that cocaine was found inside of a small bag, in a cubby near the entrance of the west wing. this is typically an area where visitors are asked to leave their cell phones or electronics before continuing on with the rest of the tour.

[laughs] >> sure, why not? a lot of mixed signals coming from the housing market. decode this for us and what it means. >> we talk about this a lot, and viewers ask about this all the time. what's happening in the housing market is just frustrating. if you're a buyer or thinking about selling, it is frustrating because mortgage rates. they've gotten very expensive. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage now above 7%. with interest rates going up, that demand for mortgages is going down, and mortgage rates are now the highest they've been since last may. the issue, if you are trying to buy, there just isn't even inventory out there. >> i was just going to say. >> if you want to buy a house,

you can barely find a house, lara, and a lot of people get frustrated because that leads to bidding wars. even though you wouldn't call this market hot, it's hard to buy because of the fact that mortgages are so expensive and there are so few houses on the market. >> what is that telling us about the real estate market? >> it's just very tight and it's going to be tight for a while. what you saw in terms of the amount of homes for sale, it's down 26% from 2022. 29% from 2019. people aren't putting their houses on the market, because in order to sell your house, you then have to buy, and there's nothing out there, and you have to pay the mortgage rate. so we are waiting, really, for new inventory to come on the market. that's homebuilders building out new inventory. again, there's this backlog because of what happened in the pandemic. they weren't building as much, and there is a ways to go before that imbalance takes place. >> what's the bottom line then if someone's out there looking? >> the bottom line -- and this is frustrating information, but you have to think about this through your own lens. can you afford it? are you planning to stay there for a long enough time? you have to think about your top

price, and not try to predict the market. the biggest thing is, are you willing to stay somewhere for five years or more? then you might be in a position to buy. and can you commit? >> i've already been in my place for quite a while, but i have been thinking about selling. i don't know. >> where would you go? there's nothing! >> i'm a little restless. we will see. >> and renting is an option, too. don't forget that's an option, and there are great calculators that will look online and say what's the most affordable option. >> thank you for that great advice. we appreciate that. now we are going to go to a recent cdc report finding that one-third of high school students are experiencing poor mental health. one school in iowa started a program to give kids the coping skills they need, hoping to prevent those issues before they begin. >> belinda shea is a high school counselor at alta-aurelia high school in alta, iowa. which consists of approximately 200 students. >> the program is designed to
