♪♪ ♪ ♪♪ today, wednesday, june 14, 2023, breaking news. hitting pause. the fed putting a hold on interest rate hikes for the first time in 15 months. how the fed chairman is defending the decision and what it means for the price you pay. >> also breaking right now, scorcher. a sweltering heat wave blanketing parts of the south this as another severe weather threat is taking aim and affecting 20 million americans. bill karins is timing it all out. new revelations prosecutors in the deadly movie set shooting involvingal being baldwin now acknowledging the weapons expert was likely hung over. how this could impact where the investigation goes from here. thanks so much for being with us. we begin this hour with breaking news about your money. >> america's central bank, the federal reserve has announced it will not raise interest rates this month. today's decision coming on the heels of a positive report on tuesday. >> yeah. that report showed inflation rates have been cut in half from

last year's peak. inflation rose 4% between last may and this may. the smallest increase in more than two years. leading us off this hour nbc news business and data reporter brian cheung. the fed has hiked interest rates a number of times, why did they choose to skip it? >> they were aggressively moving to make borrowing costs more expensive and it's led to the more expensive credit card rates and auto loan rates that we've all been seeing spike over the last 18 months and at some point the federal reserve has to slow that process, not cutting interest rates, but essentially raising interest rates at a slower pace and the fed chairman jay powell telling reporters in an ongoing press conference that that process is going to take time and that they're slowing that by effectively pausing or as some have described it skipping an interest rate hike in this meeting. the decision to not raise interest rates today came alongside economic projections from the fed that suggests there could be another two interest

rate hikes throughout the rest of this year. whether or not the fed follows through on that the fed chairman saying it depends on the data and the big data point, inflation, inflation, inflation that has come down and the mission is not yet done and the process to get inflation back down to comfortable levels will take, quote, some time. >> translate this evening for thor. what does this mean for the average person's bottom line? is relief actually on the horizon here? >> what it means is as the inflation rate still remains uncomfortable for the fed it will still crunch on our wallets while they continue the effort to try to lower inflation, but on the borrowing side of things which interest rates have more bearing on it means you should not expect to see a precipitous drop in 30-year mortgage rates or credit card rates because as the federal reserve had telegraphed today, it is not done with interest rate hikes yet and even if it does stop here, they're not cutting rates so you shouldn't see 3% borrowing costs for a home any time soon. >> when the fed announced this

decision, it said two more rate hikes are coming before the end of the year, is that right? what's the thinking there? >> it comes from the fact that it's not jay powell. there are a number of policymakers that were a part of the central system there and i can see an x or y amount for interest rate hikes through the rest of the year and the chairman saying and trying to speak on behalf of all voices and it's possible that all of these projections could change depending on how the data come in, but again, they want to be serious about inflation saying it's want yet mission accomplished and innation has come down from the peak last year and they're not quite there yet and that's why they want to leave it at bay and leave the optionality through the rest of the year and continue to keep inflation under control. >> brian cheung, thank you. >> we have more breaking news today. this time it's the weather. right now more than 30 million people across george a alabama and mississippi are at risk of severe weather. it is set to bring damaging

winds and even tornados to the region. >> at the same time in texas there are serious concerns about the state's power grid with record high temperatures expected across the state. let's bring in nbc news meteorologist bill karins. first off, what is the situation in the southeast right now? >> zinhle, we've been tracking severe weather. this is the beginning of the severe weather that will last well into the even. so far we've been tracking a couple of tornados and we've had one large, confirmed dangerous tornado in the last hour. this is the zoomed-in view of georgia. that went over the top of millford and still a super cell. you can see the hook there and another new tornado warning over albany, georgia, with a hook over that super cell. a closer view will show you it went through millford and it is heading eastward at 35, 40 miles per hour. we expect the storms to fly this afternoon. that's very unusual. this is almost like an early spring-type setup. we've had two tornado reports and the new one and there's the

third.d high wind reports. by the end of the today it wouldn't surprise me if we had in excess of 200 damaging wind reports and here's why. this area here in central mississippi, and just under what we call a severe thunderstorm watch. >> it stands for particularly dangerous situation and oklahoma and norman and the storm prediction center and it's when they tell us this is a typical severe thunderstorm watch. this is a very unusual, dangerous situation. we're expecting a derecho, possibly. shreveport it's expected to develop in a line of storms that will race through mississippi this evening with 90 mile per hour wind gusts. so hurricane-force gusts and typically you may get wind of severe thunderstorms of 50, 60, 70 and it's pretty rare to get 70 wind gusts and they can do significant damage, wind damage, tree damage and power outages and later tonight we'll probably track the same line all of the

way toward montgomery and as far as the wind damage, you can see the area we're worried about through shreveport and mississippi and alabama. a dangerous couple of hours ahead. >> for sure, hoping the 31 million stay safe. bill karins, thank you. the indictment of its top leader, former president donald trump. he pled not guilty. the severity of the case races questions. >> this indictment contains serious charges and i cannot defend what is alleged. >> it's difficult to defend that. i think the emperor has no clouds and we hope republicans see that. >> we've lost three elections in a row now and he's been the issue in every one of those elections. >> still a lot of folks still standing with the former president. last night he rallied his supporters at his new jersey

golf club downplaying his court appearance, slamming his adversaries talking about how he would defend himself and nbc correspondent vaughn hilliard is live outside national golf club in bedminster. he was there last night. right now trump seems to be the front runner to win the nomination and folks are standing by him. how is he navigating this proceeding? >> what we have not seen is a full-court press by republican presidential candidates running against donald trump to exploit these two indictments. donald trump is going to be not only facing state charges in new york and federal charges in florida. this is all going to be running parallel to not only the primary campaign, but if he were to win the nomination, his general election campaign and what we have seen are conversations privately among, of course, some of the other campaign teams and as you just heard from some of his even opponents and that's a

far cry from an asa hutchinson who is another republican candidate and a vocal trump critic who has called for donald trump to drop out of the race altogether. you see where asa hutchinson is at in the polls and he's at 1% or 2% and compare that to donald trump who has a sturdy lead 25 percentage points to 30 percentage points and that lead only expanded since his first arrest in new york two and a half months ago, kate. >> the time line for the criminal proceeding is still undecided. you said a moment ago it will probably be in parallel for running with election. >> what's next on the legal side? >> right. the campaign told me last night after his bedminster remarks that they are prepared to campaign despite going through what we'll be hearing. donald trump is part of last night was him showing that you can go and indict him, but that's not going to take him off of the campaign trail and it's not going to take him off of the microphone and we are looking over the course of the months

ahead, multiple hearings and they are procedural hearings, to be clear and the prosecution and the department of justice has to turn over evidence gathered in his defense and donald trump's defense team is able to build their own defense case and at that time the defense coins ilcan put forward motions that a judge can grant or reject and we may not be looking to actual jury selection and true hearing taking place as late as next summer or even fall. of course, donald trump has a history of trying to delay procedures against him and this should be no different, understanding that it would likely not help him in a general election. >> vaughn hilliard for us. vaughn, thank you. >> turning now to financial news. the european union has passed landmark a.i. regulation and why is taco bell teaming up with crocs, the shoes, not the reptile. >> morgan brennan joins us with the cnbc money minute. hi, morgan.

>> officials passed a law in regulating artificial intelligence. the law is the most far-reaching effort to limit what some see as the danger of ai. if adopted the legislation would put restrictions on ai that is invasive and dangerous including technology. lawmakers around the globe are learning in realtime about a.i. tools and racing to create a framework. the makers of instant pot and pyrex, instant brand which is includes other kitchenware brands employs over 230,000 employees worldwide. taco bell and crocs are collaborating on a pair of shoes designed for summer and you can see them right there. they'll feature taco bell branding and the motto livemas and they'll be retailing for

$60. i don't know, i think they're understated looking and i was expecting the foot to look like a chalupa. >> or a churro or something. a taco, give me something. >> 60 bucks seems high for me. >> i don't think we're the market. >> morgan brennan, thank you. >> coming up, why one of san francisco's most famous shopping malls is closing its doors to shoppers. >> the controversial vote by one of the largest christian denominations in the country ov (vo)o) when y you live wiwith moderato sesevere crohnhn's disesease oror ulcerativive colitis,s, yoy can be f full of rememinders of youour conditioion. never knowing.g. always wowonderin. you weren'n't made f for uc r crohn's, but gugut focused d entyvio i. enentyvio workrks at the s sitee problem m to block certaiain inflammamation-causg celllls from entntering the e. ininfusion andnd serious a allc reactionons can happppen duriring or afteter treatmen. entytyvio may inincrease risiskf infefection whicich can be s se.

prosecutors say the weapons supervisor for the alec baldwin movie "rust" was, quote, likely hung over the day of the deadly shooting on set. the accusations against hanna gutierrez-reed were made in new court documents filed last week. she's charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer halyna hutchins. charges against alec baldwin were dismissed in april. erin, can you walk us through this court filing and eyes have been on this legal drama for a while so where exactly did these new accusations from prosecutors come from? >> hi, zinhle. the accusations came from witnesses and it's important to note the wording here. they say likely hung over. it does not seem the prosecutors know for sure in their court filing writing, quote, witnesses

in the current case will testify that defendant gutierrez-reed was drinking heavily and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the shooting of "rust." it is likely gutierrez was hung over when she inserted a live bullet into a gun that she knew was going to be used at some point by an actor. it was designed specifically for this type of circumstance. this is the prosecutor's filing in response to gutierrez-reed motion to dismiss the case against her. she is arguing that these charges are politically motivated, sinclair. >> erin, how is the attorney for her, gutierrez-reed responding right now? >> well, a fair bit of mudslinging going on right now on both sides. her attorney firing back today in a statement saying, quote, the prosecution has so mishandled the case andhe case is so weak that they're

resorting to character assassination tactics to further taint the press and jury pool. now the judge is expected to rule on gutierrez-reed's motion to dismiss the charges against her in a hearing later in august. ? erin mclachlan, thank you so much. >> one of the largest christian denominations in the country is moving closer to banning women as pastors. the southern baptist convention took the first step at its annual meeting today. the group has expelled several churches who have female pastors this year. numbers news aaron gillcrest is following this for us. can you give our viewers how many members and what kind of influence they have? >> good to see you, kate. you talk about influence, you look at the numbers for the southern baptist convention and that gives you an idea for what exists here. there are some 13 million members in this southern baptist convention, the largest protestant denomination in the

united states and that gives you an idea of just the sheer volume, the number of people can tell you something about the sort of influence that exists with 47,000+ churches around the country and this is an evangelical organization, conservative christian church, if you will, so that also tells you something about what sort of position this organization might take, as well and today with the votes that we've seen happen and the moves that have been made by the organization, it is moving in a much more scripture-guided direction with some of the things that have happened today. >> walk us through what happened today? what do they vote on and what are the next steps and is this heeding to a ban on women as pastors. >> the most recent vote happened a little while ago because it would amend the con tugsz and to more ban women from leadership roles to make clear that men are suppose to be the ones in roles

that have pastor in the title in particular. there will need to be a second vote next year at the annual convention to make this the final rule for the southern baptist convention, but kate, you noted there were two churches. saddleback church being one of them in southern california that was expelled from the southern baptist convention today. that church has 23,000 members, multiple campuses and was founded by rick warren who also wrote "the purpose-driven life," and he was there to keep the church in the convention and today the vote was finalized and counted that in fact that church and another church, fern creek baptist led by a woman, the lead pastor is a woman and both are excluded from the convention and the office of pastor is limited to men who are qualified by scripture and so that change needs to be made. this effort led by a pastor from virginia saying that there are dozens, more than a hundred women in pastoral roles across

the southern baptist convention who essentially should not be. >> so what happens to them? i guess their churches can let go and they can continue to preach, is that it? ? that's something i'm getting clarity on, does that mean the church has to close, but they simply to function and they a part of this organization. aaron gill kroeft, thank you for will following that. >> coming up, why the virginia teacher who was shot by her student will not be returning to class. >> first returning to the daily snapshot. here at rockefeller plaza, we aree dec ke when modererate to seveve ulcecerative cololitis keeps flflaring, ke when modererate to seveve ulcecerative cololitis put itit in check k with rin, a a once-dailyly pill. put itit in check k with rin, whenen uc got unprpredictable,e, i got rarapid symm relief witith rin. and left b bathrom urgegency behind. check. and left b bathrom urgegency behind. whwhen uc got t in my way,, i i got lastining, steroid-frfree remissision

10:00 p.m. last night. people i spoke with this morning say it got pretty hectic. it's not hard to see why. look at some video that came out from the terminals last night showing what it looked like when it went dark, bringing things to a standstill. in this video, you can see some lights are on. all the monitors are dark. frustration on twitter over what was going on from passengers last night. one people saying passengers were on ground for more than two hours after landing. one person was told they were waiting because there was no gate assignment. some flights to sfo were diverted to san jose. other flights were canceled all together. including a flight to north carolina. >> my family is here. they are moving across country tonight. we came to the airport. everything was just shut down. the power was out.the power camk

the teacher who was shot by a 6-year-old in the classroom will not be returning to the school district. abigail zwerner was shot in new port news, virginia, back in january. she is suing the district for $40 million, but there is a dispute over whether she resigned or was fired. gary grumbach joins us from washington. what do we know about the circumstances of her leaving the school district. >> it's turned into a bit of a back and forth between the district and the teacher's attorney. in newport news they obtained an email exchange between the district and zwerner in the spring. they processed a separation of employment effective close of business on monday, june 12th. the email outlines the items zwerner was to turn in things like where to address questions regarding leave balances, paychecks and retirement plans and insurance benefits and invited her to complete an exit questionnaire. or attorney jeffrey breit view the exit letter as a firing.

the district says zwerner was sent an email asking whether she intends to return or resign at the end of the school year in which she responded i wish to resign. thank you. a week later zwerner received the exit letter? i don't think you can read this any other way other than you've been fired and that's what she thinks and she doesn't understand it. there's no other communication. the only thing i can think is they were trying to put pressure her because we filed suit and it's outrageous. it's as outrageous as i've ever seen. the suit is a $40 million zwerner filed against the newport news school board and other administrators, claiming administrators ignored warnings from staff and students who believed the boy had a gun and posed an imminent threat on the day of the shooting. her injuries fall under virginia's workplace compensation act and cannot be addressed with that $40 million lawsuit. how is the school district responding to the attorney's

claims amid all this news surrounding the incident this week? >> the district is viewing the email where she said she wishes to resign as fin word. in a statement they say in part that they quote, every employee who is separating from the school division received a similar communication and separately, daisja taylor, the mother of the 6-year-old who shot zwerner pled guilty of possessing marijuana while in possession of a firearm, which her son is alleged to have used to shoot zwerner. sinclair -- kate? >> we're both here. thanks so much. >> pennsylvania governor josh shapiro outlined reconstruction plans for the severely damaged stretch of i-95, the bridge on the interstate collapsed in philadelphia on sunday after a tanker truck carrying gasoline burst into flames beneath it. the driver of the truck was killed. nbc news correspondent emily ikeda is following this. it does sound like they're trying to speed up the repair to

this very huge interstate. what did governor shapiro say? >> speed up the repair and for good reason. keep in mind, 160,000 vehicles lean on that section of i-95 and economists were warning that the road closure could lead to temporary price increases of goods because of the number of trucks that will have to take longer routes. we did not time line around when we could anticipate that road to re-open from the governor who earlier this week suggested it could be in the matter of months and we got details around their approach and it's in a unique one. the two-step process. first, they are filling in paving the road to then allow them the chance to build the overpass. take a listen and here's more from the governor today. >> i am competitive as hell. i want this road to be re-opened as possible. i am competitive just like this great city and when you all are sleeping in the middle of the night, when i'm sleeping in the

middle of the night these guys will be working on this road. when you choose to take a day any go down the shore, they're going to be working on this road 24/7 until this road is re-opened. >> and that process i had referenced, that will begin tomorrow, but already we've been reporting on it all week and drivers feel the impact and the people are are feeling it more than doubling. >> the fact that just part of the road collapse side leading some to question whether it was structurally sound to begin with. did the presser address that at all? >> safety is on the top of so many people's minds. they did say that that section of i-95 is structurally sound. i pressed state troopers asking is that curve, is that turn problematic? they said no. >> thank you so much. >> the fed decided not to raise

interest rates after numbers showed inflation fell to its lowest level in more than two years with some of our necessities like food leading the way, but it may be too late for some americans because there is still inflation. a new cnbc morning consult poll of consumers reveals these prices are having an impact on how americans are spending their money with 92% of americans cutting their overall spending and notably 60% of people who make below $50,000 a year are cutting how much they spend on the food that they buy specifically. nbc news correspondent shaquille brewster joins us from one-stop food and grocery store in chicago. i know you wanted to talk to folks in the grocery store about what their habits are and what are shoppers telling you? >> you're getting the mixed reaction. there's a lag between what we're seeing in the numbers and what people are seeing. look at the numbers. you get a sense of why. inflation is slowing and you're still talking about an increase in prices. so food overall has gone up

about 6.7% since the last year, and a lot of that depends on what you put in your grocery bag. if you've like me and have that sweet tooth, i put doughnuts and cake in my grocery bag, that's an increase of 11%. if you have eggs and milk you're seeing a decrease year over year. i want you to hear from shoppers today. >> a slab of ribs 30-something dollars when you used to get it for 24. that's a big jump. >> so when we see these government numbers, when the government comes out and says oh, inflation is slowing, what are you thinking? >> i'll believe it when i see it. >> you don't feel it yet. >> no. i don't see it either. >> you can take $200 and get nine and almost $400 when you're shopping so i buy less and make do with less or buy in bulk. >> so you hear right there people are still adjusting their

habits, still figuring out ways to save that buck because of the overall increase in prices. i spoke to the owner of this grocery store and while he feels like things are going in the right direction, he feels like the margins are getting better and he is able to pass some of the savings to consumers and he also says that it's not there yet. you're not seeing those substantial changes just yet, but a lot of this he mentioned depends on specifically what you're getting. it really goes item by item. so for one person they may feel like things are really getting better and have gotten better and for another person they're looking at the increase in prices and saying they still need to adjust and it's also how people feel when they go out to the checkout aisle and finally make that purchase. >> that's right. the consumer behavior, hey, shaq. i have a sweet tooth, too. >> we're in the same on this. another sign of san

francisco's economic struggles post-pandemic. the famed westfield shopping center is shutting its doors after more than 20 years. cnbc senior retail reporter courtney reagan digging into this. i remember a teenager spending a lot of time in westfield malls and we're seeing this trend and what can you tell us about westfield's decision to close in the heart of downtown san francisco. >> i think the ideas of malls closing is not necessarily a new one. what's special about this is we're talking about a changing condition in san francisco. westfield is closing this mall. it is in a downtown area of san francisco for those not familiar and downtown malls are not something that you see all that often and many of them are no longer working. as a matter of fact, we saw brookfield closed its water tower last fall. and matriarch another mall operatorened its ownership in chicago.

in san francisco specifically, we know office vacancies are among the highest in the country. something around 30%. tourists are starting to come back to san francisco, but they're spending reportedly 77% less than they did pre-pandemic. conventions that often has been a big draw for foot traffic, those have not come back in the same way. so, yes, westfield is closing the mall in san francisco, but it's far from alone when it comes to retailers and they're less productive than they used to be and san francisco specifically, a number of retailers have announced closures in that area. >> given this trend of closures and the brick and mortar stores like westfield mall. is there anything retailers can do that is in a trend now. >> it will be largely area dependent, right? another thing that is worth mentioning in san francisco and in some larger urban areas is this increase in crime and homelessness, so that has factored into some of these decisions when it becomes unsafe

to operate a store because of things like theft or criminal activity happening around these areas, and so i think retailers are starting to think works with law enforcement in those areas. i think that's all part of it, as well. >> important reporting, courtney reagan. thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up, with increasing numbers of young people identifying as lgbtq how parents' reactions can shape their child's mental health. you're watching nbc news daily. >> we are streaming free 24/7 and watch us wherever you stream live. the news continues after this.

we are talking about how parents can navigate conversations about identity. it can be an overwhelming experience and the same can be said to parents who may not know how to react to different conversations especially on their kids mental health. let's start big picture and it's pride month and we're talking about this through the lens of the lgbtq+ experience. some families may find themselves in a conversation when a child chooses to come out to them choosing to identify as lgbtq. how might a way the parent react to that information then shape how a child approaches life? >> you know, this is really an important question and really important information. we have research now that shows what parental acceptance and rejection can lead to. rejection can change the structure of the brain. in fact, even perceived

rejection can change the brain. so just having this awareness is one way to start as we begin this process with our kids, our teens and the community. >> donna, it does take a lot of courage, right? for some kids to actually speak to their parents about their sexuality and what should parents be keeping in mind when listening and reacting to their kids? >> yeah. parents really need to understand that this is the time for active listening and to really allow the space and time for our kids to talk to us and to allow for that foundation that we've built for our kids to come to us, to feel secure. we want our kids to be able to come to us, to talk to us and by having that open conversation, that feeling of security, our kids are going to speak to us about their needs, their feelings and what they need from us as parents. >> and the reality is like you're saying, sometimes the child may come forward, but a parent may not support a child's

sexual identity and what are some of the potential repercussions for young people and what does data say? >> this is where the research is important and if parents can hear it and listen to it, they're going to understand how they can help their kids. so we know that from the research emotional regulation can be impacted. hostility, low self-esteem. then beyond that is the physical implications that can come out later in life with chronic conditions like diabetes and then the third angle to look at is cognitive development. we want to know that our kids are safe in their cognitive development and what happens with the rejection process is that they are unable to form their working memory and learning. so we really want to make sure that we're aware of this research. >> that's really important, and i mean, donna, if a parent feels that their child may actually identify as lgbtq+.

what do you recommend or should they not say? should they mention it to their child or wait for the child to bring it up? what do you think? >> what experts say about this is for parents to just hold on and wait. take the lead of your child. allow the child to come to you. we don't want to inject our feelings into this or what we think. we want to allow our child to come us to and again, that's that building of that foundation from toddler years that allows our kids to come to us. >> i imagine some parents may feel like they just don't know what to say, right? or they feel like they don't have enough information about the lgbtq+ experience. what do you recommend for them? >> again, what experts are saying is to allow the child to come to them and parents really need to educate. we need to educate ourselves so that we can be informed when we're supporting our children and it's not a lot of education. it's just talking to other parents and talking to doctors and asking for some help.

this is something that we can do to support our kids. >> donna, i do want to briefly ask you and looking forward, i'm sure some parents had these conversations and maybe they didn't go well. if there is the space. >> be salutely. there's always a space to reconcile and i've spoken to parents who weren't that accepting and they did allow the child the space and time and they gave themselves the space and time to learn and understand about this. you want to build. you can rebuild that bond and rebuild that trust and kids want their acceptance from their parents. so if you give it to them -okay, and one more. -i think we got it.. -yeah, l let's focusus on t. -rv? okokay, everybybody, lolook at the e rv and smim. this is whwhat you wanat for r your familily portrai? good poioint. we bunundled tht with ourur home and d auto . -hey, teteam, get onon in. -t-team? oh. fun. -hey, teteam, get onon in. -t-team?
