thank you for spending your holiday weekend with us. hoda and savannah out. a lot of folks on the plaza getting a jump-start on the labor day weekend with partying with brandi carlile. >> look at this crowd. they were lined up early this morning. they got here before i did. i stepped outside and thought, oh, my goodness. >> a lot of them call themselves the bramily. we're going to get outside with them in a moment. we are going to start with that labor day get away. it's already started. >> absolutely. >> millions of americans are hitting the roads and heading to airports to mark the unofficial end of summer. from the brutal heat out west and airlines, there are plenty of ush use that could affect your plans. >> fear not, we have you covered. dylan is standing by with your holiday forecast. bust we're going to start with nbc's tom costello. because he has gone behind the scenes with the faa as they try to manage this weekend's surge at airports. tom, good morning to you. >> craig, here we go.

12.5 million people traveling over this extended labor day period by air. that's about 2.5 million per day. and you're absolutely right. this is the airline's last chance to really prove that they are improving. and they have. but they have gotten a lot of bad grades earlier in the summer, some ds and fs, so now they're on the rebound, they say, and they're trying to prove to the country that in fact they can handle the loads going forward. in the meantime, as you mentioned, an awful lot of americans hitting the roads and leaving right about now. it's a busy holiday weekend capping off a chaotic summer for millions traveling across the country. a third of americans expected to

take to the roads and skies this labor day weekend. most will be driving, finally getting some good news at the pump. gas now averaging $3.82 a gallon, down 40 cents in a month, but millions will also be going through airports after a summer of travel misery. >> just want to check in one more time. >> the faa command center in virginia, they're in high gear, tracking every plane moving across the country, coordinating commercial flights, private planes, rescue and military operations. now after a summer of misery for millions of passengers faa managers are focused on keeping the air space moving through this weekend and into the fall, especially in florida where air traffic control centers were understaffed and unprepared for the surge in visitors this year. >> what lessons have you learned here at the faa from the last six, eight months or so? >> we have to make sure we have the right people in the right place, and we have done that this year. we're making sure controllers are now added to the jacksonville staffing. >> that passenger flood into florida expected to continue through the winter and next spring. the busiest travel day so far this year, may 19th, nearly 51,000 flights. right now they're averaging

about 47,000 or so. the biggest potential disrupter this weekend as also, the weather. faa meteorologist roland nunez. >> these are where the disturbances are, and one in particular is going across oklahoma and one toward the florida area. >> meanwhile, in 12 of the country's busiest airports, atlanta to chicago, detroit to l.a.x., the nation's biggest pilots union continues an off duty picket, not a strike. they're in contract talks and they want more money and an end to the record overtime they worked as airlines have struggled with a shortage of pilots. >> they have tried to put schedules back in place that are pre-pandemic level flying but they don't have the pilots and flight crews trained to do so. >> delta says the union's goal is to gain leverage at the negotiating tail. >> tom, let's go from the skies to the roads. as you mention, there will be a lot of cars on the road this weekend. give us some trips to try to beat the traffic. >> so keep in mind, we're talking about more than 100 million people traveling in some form over the next few days. leave early. if you can, leave as soon as the "today" show is over, not

before. leave this morning, and if you can, if you're going to wait until tomorrow, leave early tomorrow. the other tips might affect if you're driving on labor day itself, leave before 4:00 p.m. or after 10:00 p.m. and try to program the gps. this is one of those things i always forget when i get in the car. look for those opportunities to avoid road closures or heavy construction or whatever. then i'm in the jam and my wife says, you didn't program the gps. you're right. so try to program the gps early to avoid those obstacles if you can. this does save you time, guys. >> transportation correspondent getting grief from his wife. i love that. >> very relatable. >> tom, thank you, sir. >> when it comes to flying in the holiday, the weather is a major factor. out west, a dangerous heat wave is gripping the region. tens of millions of people are under heat warnings. triple digit temperatures in some areas running 10 to 25 degrees above average. it's putting a strain on the

power grid and fueling new wildfires. let's check in with dylan who is in for al and has a first look at the holiday weekend weather. >> good morning. that heat out west is going to stick around through at least tuesday. this is a long duration event. this area of high pressure allowing all this warm air to slide in from the south, and not only is it a long duration event, it's an expansive event. look at the record temperatures from california, washington, all the way into the western plains including montana and wyoming. we're looking to break high temperatures in areas like salt lake city, a record of 99. close to a record in las vegas. grand junction, 99 for forecast, 98 is the old record. we'll see these temperatures not only break high temperature records for the day, but also perhaps the month of september.

the warmest it's ever been in september in sacramento is 109. we're forecasting a high of 109 on monday. same for salt lake city. it's only gotten up to 100 degree in september. now, temperatures across the country elsewhere look pretty nice, especially on saturday. some 70s back through the upper midwest and the northern plains. beautiful in the northeast, although that flood watch still continues down through texas, into louisiana, on sunday, still looking for more wet weather along the gulf coast. interior northeast will see late day showers. the western half of the country seeing lots of sunshine, and record heat out west. on labor day, tom recommended traveling on labor day, but on the 95 corridor, we could see pockets of heavy rain possible. it does look pretty unsettled as we go into monday. >> thank you. we'll get much more on the forecast in a bit. >> right now, let us welcome in peter alexander as we turn to the politically charged speech from president biden last night. >> repeatedly calling out former president trump as well as his allies. the president condemning political violence and warning that blind loyalty to a single leader, he says, is fatal to

democracy. >> with philadelphia's independence hall as a backdrop, president biden last night warning american democracy is under assault. by the forces of extremism led by his predecessor, donald trump. >> too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal. donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. >> the president said he was not talking about all republicans but while biden regularly spoke about threat to democracy during the campaign, this speech marks a sharp new tone for him as president. he long avoided mentioning mr. trump by name, but has now

escalated his fierce criticism against a military backdrop. >> there's no question that the republican party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by donald trump and the maga republicans. and that is a threat to this country. >> the president only briefly referring to democratic achievements while noting the fight over abortion rights. >> maga forces are determined to take this country backwards. backwards to an america where there's no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception. >> protesters tried to interrupt the president's speech. >> empathy that fuels democracy. >> the president getting back. >> good manners is nothing they have ever suffered from. >> the fiery speech reflecting president biden's growing

concern about trump allies continued denial of the 2020 election results. >> you can't love your country only when you win. >> top republican kevin mccarthy accusing the president of dividing americans. >> joe biden and the radical left in washington are dismantling americans' democracy before our very eyes. >> and former president trump later responding on his social media site, calling the speech awkward and angry, adding, if he doesn't want to make america great again, then he certainly should not be representing the united states of america. and on the topic of january 6th, there's another headline. mr. trump now saying that he is financially supporting some of the accused rioters from the day, adding he'll strongly consider a full pardon for them if he runs for president and wins. >> all of this coming again as this federal judge is not awaiting the ongoing battle between president trump and the justice department. >> it's a good question. this federal judge in florida is deciding whether to appoint this independent third party, what they call a special master who would review those materials that were collected from mar-a-lago right now. mr. trump's lawyers compared him keeping those highly classified documents to basically having an overdue library book. the justice department says they

oppose this. they don't want there to be a separate set of eyes taking a look at it. they say they have already looked at it. they say because he's no longer the president, he has no right to have those documents in the first place. one other important note. the judge has now said she's going to make public a detailed list of everything that the fbi seized from mar-a-lago. >> all right. peter alexander, our chief white house correspondent. thank you. >> now to that frightening scene we showed you at the top of the show. argentina's vice president greeting supporters overnight when someone pointed a gun directly at-before being tackled by security. keir simmons joins us with that story. keir, good morning. >> good morning to you. these are chilling images for any democracy, an attempted assassination against argentina's progressive vice president and former president, facing a gun at point blank range. and she's lucky to be alive this morning. >> cameras were rolling. argentina's vice president

smiling and then suddenly a loaded pistol is pointed at her head. a click is heard, but the weapon does not fire. an attempted assassination, according to one government minister, another angle showing her greeting the crowd, when in second the man pushes forward and holds the gun inches from her face. argentina's president addressing the nation. christina remains alive because for some reason not yet technically confirmed the gun which contained five bullets did fought fire. within minutes, a suspect was detained, dragged down by a crowd. taken away with a coat over his head and later in custody, covering his face. his motive unclear. forensic police out in force. overnight, supporters rallied

outside the vice president's home. a towering figure but controversial. argentina's politics increasingly bitter. she has faced protests and corruption allegations that she has denied and branded a media judicial firing squad. now these images, the most serious challenge to democracy for decades, the president said, warning that heat leads to violence. but as argentinian television replays these seconds again and again, the danger this morning may be deeper political divisions. and this morning, sheinelle, many in argentina are united in condemning what happened and world leaders are speaking out. one saying hatred and violence will never triumph over democracy. guys. >> keir, thank you. >> lots more to get to here on a friday morning including the next launch window inching closer for nasa's inaugural artemis one moon mission. take a live look at the kennedy space center. as of right now, it's a go for tomorrow after those technical issues forced monday's attempt to be scrubbed. jacob ward is here with the very latest. let's start with what happened

on monday. what more do we know about what caused the mission to get paused and how confident are they that they're going to be able to launch tomorrow? >> nasa engineers essentially identified two problems. one was a possible hydrogen leak and the other was the fact the engines which run on hydrogen weren't staying as cool as they thought they needed to. it turned out in the end they were functioning perfectly, it was that a sensor was broken. they have now got both of those things resolved. now the question is whether the projection is at this point, the possibility of scattered thunderstorms across the state may make it roughly a 60% chance of going up. but they think they have the technical problems solved and that's what they were most worried about with. >> with that said, what's the plan and timeline going forward if they have to scrub it again. >> tom costello was talking earlier, if you're going to the airport, run after the "today" show. if it does get scrubbed, they need a 72-hour window before they try again. it couldn't happen again before tuesday.

that would be the next window, and then september 19th if that doesn't work. the end of the launch window is early october. if they don't get it off by october, we have to hold off for a while. >> this rocket has been under scrutiny, overbudget, long delayed. this is high stakes for the folks at nasa. if they're not able to go ahead with this, what kind of a setback is that for nasa given all of the private enterprise in this industry? >> i think the real setback nasa would be worried about is us not talking about weather or scrubs but something bigger. if something went wrong with this, these rocket engines, they go from 0 to 17,000 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds. they're just a big can of go, and you don't want anything going wrong with it. you also have to think, you talk about budgets and delays, but you also think about the ambitions of this.

talking about putting people back on the moon on a whole different part of the moon. you could conceivably get there and find water. you could use that water to fuel a new set of rockets going from a space station on the moon to mars. at this point, nasa is happy to be talking about the weather, talking about scrubs in order to keep their eyes on the long term goal. >> good stuff. >> we don't want you to miss your flight. you mentioned the weather. let's turn to dylan once again. how are we looking down in florida? >> a big can of go is my new favorite phrase from now on. we do have scattered thunderstorms across the area. keep in mind, it is a two-hour window, but if there are thunderstorms with lightning within that 12-mile radius of the launch site, that could cause some delays. again, these are quick moving thunderstorms. they pop up and then they go away. within that two-hour period, they should be a good window for things to go down in florida. so that's just something we'll keep an eye on. today, elsewhere across the country, sunny. absolutely beautiful across the northeast.

trying to extend her magical run even further >> we're going to talk about that with another legend, mary carillo, but first, maggie is at arthur ashe stadium. >> serena williams continuing her phenomenal and likely farewell tour here on center court, slated to play singles again tonight. this after a sold-out crowd cheered her on alongside big sister venus in doubles last night. while they didn't pull out a win, the fans definitely let them know they appreciate their iconic careers all eyes will be on serena williams tonight taking center court in the third round of the u.s. open in what could be the ultimate swan song of a legendary career. the 40-year-old who recently said she's evolving away from tennis must win her matchup against ajla tomjanovich to advance. >> she's been playing pretty advanced the fact she wanted to play me,

it's good. like i said, i have to be ready for every match. >> the 23-time grand slam champ proving she's still got game dazzling the arthur ashe stadium crowd wednesday, defeating the number two ranked player in the world. her coach noting fans are giving williams that extra boost. >> it's been remarkable to see the love that she's getting, which she deserves so there's no question that the crowd is pushing her to do some incredible things, but she doesn't want to quite let go yet. >> last night, a standing ovation for serena and big sister venus, the remarkable duo falling in the first round of doubles. a hug marking what could be their last match on the court together >> i think they give new meaning

to the dynamic duo because their energy is explosive. >> what a performance from serena and venus >> the williams sisters, one of the greatest teams of all time winning three olympic gold medals and 14 grand slam women's doubles titles together. the second highest in history. >> there it is serena williams. >> venus and serena also spectacular as rivals, going head to head 16 times in majors, often for the championships. now, serena with a chance to raise a trophy once more, but first, she must make it through tonight's match. >> i'm having fun, and i'm enjoying it. >> and of course, another sold out and celebrity packed night slated here once again for those who have been keeping up, serena's matches thus far in the tournament have been attended by the likes of matt damon, spike lee, vogue editor anna wintour, the list goes on

if you want to join them in person, we checked this morning. tickets on stubhub going for up to $9500, but guys, the "new york post" reported last night, one seat with that prime unobstructed view was going for $48,000. >> wow >> really hope nbc is okay with me spending that i'm going to make friends with them >> thank you, maggie >> maggie will be enjoying the match from outside >> with us now to add her perspective, nbc sports analyst mary carillo who of course was also a professional tennis player herself >> good morning, herself >> has been in arthur ashe stadium watching serena over the past week or so. has called every serena williams match in the last 20, 25 years >> she put my children through college. single-handedly. >> here's the thing, we're loving the run so far. i mean, it's been amazing to watch. what do you make of it and how real is the possibility

that serena williams could win the u.s. open? >> you don't bet against an icon who really has it in her head that she could go far. she's been playing much better than she was playing earlier this summer. her draw has opened up as well i mean, for her to be playing -- let's think about this this icon is playing in arthur ashe stadium at the billie jean king national tennis center. if you want a long good-bye, you want it there. >> that's a good way to put it here's what i was wondering. i was watching her play with her sister last night. was it a good thing she used her energy for that? part of me thinks maybe she's warmed up even more, she's ready, or does it exhaust her? >> that's a good question. she was kind of bending her serves in, wasn't going in she's going to have to bring the heat tonight in her match against ajla tomjanovich they have won 14 majors together it's probably the last time we'll ever see them play doubles again. could be the last time a lot of folks see venus. i guess it was a good thing, but

are hitting the skies in the next few days. that's about 2.5 million per day. we have pretty clear sailing meteorologists pointing out we have a little bit of weather they're watching in the south, but for the most part, they expect clear skies and the faa command center anticipating smooth sailing if you're flying. one last chance for the various airlines and airports to up their game and prove that they are on the rebound following a tough summer all right, now to the roads. a lot of people hitting the roads. in fact, we're looking at gasoline now running right around $3.80 a gallon. that's down 40 cents in just a month. if you're looking for good news on the road, they're talking about gas hitting $3.50 by halloween. we could see gas continuing to drop, assuming we don't have a big hurricane take out a refining capacity in the gulf coast. so this really is that last summer getaway, both in the skies and also on the roads, and the best time to travel, as they say, leave early whether you're flying or driving, leave early to avoid the crowds. back to you. >> tom costello at reagan

national airport, thank you. >> no letup this weekend in the record breaking heat wave making life miserable and dangerous for millions of americans. extreme warnings, heat warnings, are up from the pacific northwest to california, where scorching temperatures are well above normal for this time of year and emergency teams will be spending their holiday fighting wildfires. let's go to dylan with a check of the forecast for the long weekend ahead. >> the hottest weather is still to come. sunday and monday is when we'll see most of our warmest temperatures 45 million people across warnings and heat advisories across the west and it will continue to move into wyoming and colorado we're likely to see records there too. look at the records we're going to tie or break or come close to fresno, the record is 109. we should hit that today salt lake city should break a record with a high of 99 degrees. as we go into tomorrow, we're looking for the heat to move to the montana area, great falls, 102. the record is 95

we're going to blow that record out of the water salt lake city the same thing. the heat is going to continue. fresno, 110 on monday. death valley, 125 on monday. the warmest it has ever been in september is 126 record high temperatures all through the weekend. we still have flooding rain along the gulf coast on saturday beautiful in the northeast for saturday and for sunday. but as we go into monday for labor day, we could see a lot of heavy rain up and down the east coast, extending down to the gulf coast and the heat continues out west >> thanks very much. >> now to president biden and that blistering primetime speech last night the president using it to accuse his predecessor, former president trump and the maga followers of undermining democratic values. mr. biden with sharp words for 2020 election deniers, and he condemned the rise in political violence >> too much of what's happening in our country today is not

normal donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic >> in his republican prebuttle, house minority leader kevin mccarthy accused president biden of dividing americans and disparaging those who disagree with his policies. >> while returning to the white house overnight, president biden addressed the water crisis that continues to grip jackson, mississippi. saying the government is offering all the support it can. residents there have spent days now without running water after flooding pushed the city's already strained system to its breaking point nbc's morgan chesky has made his way to jackson, mississippi for us morgan, good morning to you. >> craig, good morning hard to believe, 180,000 people still can't trust the water coming out of their faucet right now. we're at one of the seven megasites that the state has opened up in the last 24 hours

these are manned by about 600 national guardsmen that have converged on jackson to try to help anyone who needs water, and they're going to be here for the foreseeable future the director of fema expected to be in jackson today. he's pledging additional resources and he wants to reimburse for any materials or equipment to help bring this water system and help fully restore it we know a pump installed yesterday has brought the water pressure back and about doubled it, but it's still significantly unpredictable. the people here have been under a boil-water notice for about the past month and they simply can't trust the water coming out of the tap even if they take a shouter, they're told to keep their mouth closed because it's still unsafe to drink president biden has pledged anything and everything to help aid in this recovery, but as of right now, there's no firm timeline on when the system will be fully restored. kids in jackson schools told to stay at home and do virtual learning until the water system can finally be made safe to drink.

>> just an absolute mess there in jackson, mississippi. morgan chesky, keep us posted. thank you. we have covered the news now craig, you're handling our morning boost. >> no hoda, but i'll give it a shot here. there were probably not many surprises that can bring a boy to tears, but here's one of them check out this little boys closes his eyes while waiting for his dad to give him a present. when he opens those eyes, he sees his new puppy at first he touches it, he doesn't think it's real. it's real, all right he breaks into a big smile when he snuggles that puppy in his arms kid must have wanted a puppy for a long time. just when you think he's about to say thank you, he becomes overcome with emotion. dad gets pretty choked up as well his son named the puppy milo which sounds like a great name
