hi, everyone. and happy friday. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> i'm ellison basher in for kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right

now. ♪ today, friday, july 21st, 2023, boiling point. the oppressive heat dome expands across the u.s., a new report shows sea temperatures are hitting records. why that could lead to more dangerous and deadly weather. date set. a florida judge announces when the trial over former president donald trump's handling of classified documents will begin. the impact it could have on the 2024 election. putting up guardrails. seven industry leaders reach an agreement with the white house on rules and regulations on art official intention. what they just agreed to, and is it enough. and loss of a legend. singer tony bennett has died at the age of 96. we'll look back at the life and legacy of the legendary crooner. we're going to start this hour with the dangerous heat wave over much of the country. and new concerns about how it might impact our environment. >> at there hour, more than 80 million people are under heat alerts.

heat warnings have now expanded inland into parts of utah and idaho. by now you can probably recognize all of us are living through an historic stretch of extreme heat. the national national oceanic and atmospheric administration says last month was the hottest june ever since record-keeping began back in 1850. >> you can feel the heat on land. you can also feel it in the water. ocean temperatures are rising. now, scientists are sounding the alarm that this heat could actually lead to more destructive weather events. warm water serves as fuel for hurricanes making them bigger and stronger. >> we'll get to the forecast from nbc news meteorologist bill karins in a moment. but first let's get the latest from nbc's priscilla thompson in texas. >> reporter: i stuck a thermometer in the water just a short while ago and it was showing up as 84.2 degrees here, that is around a degree or two higher than what it is on average here, and if you go down to south florida, they are looking at water temperatures that are in the low 90s.

well above average. and what experts are saying is that that could have a huge impact on hurricane season, and that warm water giving those hurricanes the ability to form more rapidly. we could potentially see even more devastating hurricanes heading into the late summer and the early fall. that is just one of the impacts of all of this. of course, the other thing is just how deadly this heat has been. more than a dozen people having died this summer. including this week, a 10-month-old baby who was left in a car in florida for five hours, as the internal temperature in that car reached more than 130 degrees, according to officials. we also saw a 71-year-old man die while hiking in death valley, officials believe that that also is heat-related, and so just a reminder to people of how deadly this heat can be, and how important it is to heed the warnings of your body, as we continue to deal with these weeks and weeks and weeks of extreme heat, extreme

temperatures. back to you. >> let's bring in nbc news meteorologist bill karins. bill, noaa, which is the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, they say this heat wave is probably going to last into the month of august. what will that mean for hurricane season? >> well, we know that the temperatures is the fuel for the storms, the warm ocean water, so what we're going to look at is the predictions for this season are actually increased by colorado state experts, our noaa experts are saying 12 to 17, we already had four named storms, so roughly we will get about a dozen more storms between now and when we get towards the end of the season. now, the peak of the season, and the main development region is the key, that's when we go through the peak three months, august, september, october, and this shows you the water temperatures, and everything what is in a warm color is warmer than it should be, and anything in blue is cooler. you can see what's dominating the map. so the fuel is there. now, with the upper level winds, will they cooperate? el nino hopefully will knock some of these storms down. but regardless, as we get toward the peak, especially late

august, september, early october, that's when we usually get our major hurricanes, our big ones, we don't know where they're going to be, but the water is plenty warm enough for the storms to be very intense. not what anyone wants to hear who live in a coastal region. hopefully all will be fish storms. as far as the heat waves, switching gears, we're on pace for the warmest july every recorded. phoenix, el paso, baton rouge, tampa, sarasota, fort myers. you get the picture. and the extreme heat just continues at this hour, from south florida, all the way through the southwest. extreme heat warnings continuing muchth southwest. already 106 in phoenix. you will do another 110-day today. we're about to continue the 100 degree streak in el paso. look at the southeast, where it is humid. new orleans feels like 109. and this is just the bad news and what we were just hinning at, and there's no end in sight through the end of july and even into early august. warm and warmer. >> no end in sight. that's tough news and hoping people stay safe. bill karins, thank you.

a federal judge in florida has made two key decisions, in the criminal trial involving former president donald trump and list handling of classified documents after he left office. just cannon filing paperwork for the trial to begin on may 20th, 2024. and it will take place at the judge's home courthouse in fort pierce, florida. about a two and a half hours drive north of miami. let's bring in nbc news justice reporter ryan reilly. there was a contentious hearing tuesday, over this time line, right? prosecutors wanting a date in december, the defense wanting this date in mid november of 2024, at the absolute earliest. ultimately the date the judge has decided on here seems to kind of split the difference. will may 2024 as the date satisfy both sides? >> you know, the trump team is calling it a win, the quote, the major set back for the d.o.j.'s

crusade to deny president trump a fair legal process. the extensive schedule allows president trump and his legal team to continue fighting this empty hoax. you know, overall, i think that this is something that is going to really affect, obviously, the time line of everything that's happening with the 2024 campaign. if this schedule were to hold, this trial would wrap basically just before the republican national convention, you know, voters will have already cast ballots in several states, so it is really something i think that, you know, is going to be smack dab in the middle of all of this and really sort of this unprecedented, an overused word in this context, but really is an unprecedented territory here. >> it's right though, ryan. let's also talk about the other investigation under way by the same special counsel. this is the one that involves former president trump's actions after the 02020 election and relate some to what happened on january 6th. trump has not been charged in that case but we know he got a target letter and was asked to appear before the grand jury,

something he did not do. we also saw one of his aides testify in that case. so what is going on there? have there been any new developments? >> yes, we got a little bit of a surprising sneak peek in that case because the lawyer who is representing that defendant before the grand jury actually had a hearing that he was supposed to be at in the afternoon, at 2:00 p.m., involving the entirely separate case, but it was actually a former trump official who had physically stormed the capital that day, and he actually was late for that hearing and then had to explain to the judge why he was late, and explain that his client, who is the trump aide who is being questioned before the grand jury had been asked questions that involved questions of executive privilege and he could not simply add his client during the grand jury process. a little bit of a unique window that we were not necessarily anticipating yesterday. >> ryan reilly, thank you. breaking news. music fans around the world are remembering the legendary tony bennett. the beloved vocalist passed away at the end of 96 and his career

dark underbelly to his success. bennett developed a drug addiction in the 1970s, and took a 10-year hiatus. he made a comeback in the '80s, becoming a favorite of the mtv generation. >> what do you say we do one for the mtv crowd? >> reporter: bennett married three times, and raised four children, and in 2007, , he tie the knot with susan crow, after the two dated for decades. meanwhile, hisis popularity continued to surge in the 2000s. he recorded duets with mega stars like paul mccartney. ♪ the very thought of you ♪♪ >> reporter: elton john. ♪ it is up to you ♪♪ >> reporter: and lady gaga. ♪ that's why the lady is a tramp ♪♪ >> my whole life, i loved what i do. >> reporter: in 2021, the singer revealed his alzheimer's diagnosis and announced a final album and concert with lady gaga to mark his 85th birthday. ♪ and i get a kick out of you ♪♪

it is the beginning of a new era for the washington commanders. nfl owners unanimously approved the sale of the team for a record 6 billion dollars. >> the new owners include billionaire josh harris, and basketball legend magic johnson. just minutes after that announcement though, the league released the results of an independent investigation into outgoing owner dan snyder. nbc news correspondent tom costello joins us now with the latest on that and more. tom snyder's time, it is no secret, as owner, was filled with a lot of controversy from refusing to change the original team name which was viewed as racist and offensive, and now to this investigation. can you walk us through the key findings? >> this was the second outside independent investigation into the culture and allegations at the washington commanders, and the findings were really rather disturbing, and they came out at the exact same moment that the final word came down that the team had been sold. so here is what the aegations were. and here is what was substantiated against the team

owner dan snyder. he was fined $60 million by the nfl. he was found to, yes, have sexually harassed former female employee. d by the way, dozens of employees complained of toxic sexually harassing culture there. the team withheld, according to the findings, $11 million of revenue of the teams, they were pped to share, they also withheld money from the fans, apparently, and guess what, they kept a separate set of books, so they could hide money. that, according to the independent review. and then they did not fully cooperate with investigators. so that is the backdrop then for this record $6 billion sale of the washington commanders, and every single team owner, other team owners, said yes, we're approving the sale. i got to say nobody in dc is shedding a tear. >> the snyder era was not one that went very well on the field either. it was what, 24 seasons, they never made a super bowl appearance. one of the new co-owners, magic johnson, he does know something

about winning and he was very emotional in an exclusive interview with craig melvin on the "today" show. what did he say about taking over? >> i got to say i thought this was particularly poignant this morning. he broke down in tears talking to craig. and the context is this. magic johnson made the point, and craig made the point, most of the players are a huge percentage of them on the field are african american and yet they are very underrepresented in the management suites, in the owner's boxes, and so now, magic johnson is going to be one of the owners of the washington commanders, and he talked about why that matters. >> it's the biggest thing i've ever done in my life. and i mean it's a life-long dream. >> i'm going to excel not only myself and my family, but for all african americans, that we can see ourselves in these seats, and i want people to know

that we can do the job. >> reporter: we can do the job. keeping in mind of course, you are a native of dc, and this is a majority african american city, and this matters to people here. >> it really does. and it is so impactful. i mean we love magic. we got the theater. we got it all. tom costello, thank you so much. >> you bet. coming up, from the white house, to the schoolhouse, why vice president harris is slamming florida over its new state curriculum. you're watching "nbc news daily." nexixium 24hr prevevents heartrtburn acidd bebefore it bebegins. nexixium 24hr geget all-day y and all-ninit heartbururn acid prerevenn nexixium 24hr with just t one pill a a . nexixium 24hr choose acicid preventitio. choose n nexium. choose acicid preventitio. whwhy do dermamatologistss choosese dove?

was executing early this morning for the 2001 murder of dorothy epps, the first execution carries out by alabama this year after capital punishment was halted in the state in november following a series of botched lethal injections. barber's attorney had asked the courts to unsuccessfully block his execution. texas a&m president katherine banks will retire immediately. the school said after facing backlash after a shifting job offer the university made to a black journalism professor this. move came after professor kathleen mcgill roy said the university has promised her a five-year contract but she was ultimately given a one-year deal after complaints from an alumni group at a conservative public case over her work promoting diversity. police in germany were searching for more than a day for the wild animal seen in this video, roaming the suburbs outside of berlin. it was initially believed to be a looirn. but the search was called off today, it turns out the animal being hunted by a huge operation of helicopters, thermal cameras and heavily armed hunters was

probably just a wild boar. >> hoping that animal is okay. break be news out of the white house. president biden has announced a mu set of guidelines for some of the biggest artificial intelligence companies. one caveat, it is voluntary and nonbinding. search ai companies were at the white house today for the announcement. >> more technology change in the next ten years, or even in the next few years, than we've seen in the last 50 years. that has been an astounding revelation to me, quite frankly. artificial intelligence is going to transform the lives of people around the world. >> let's bring in nbc news white house correspondent allie raffa, and nbc news reporter kevin collier. allie, walk us through why the white house is focused on there and why the companies have agreed to do the caveats, and claimed to be nonbinding and involuntary, and it seems like a pretty big one. >> ai technology has evolveed so quickly, that it has really forced all of us to understand

not only its capabilities but also the risks associated with them. so we saw these executives from seven of the top ai companies in the u.s., meet with the president today, and as you mentioned, announce these voluntary changes that they are planning to make, to better, more responsibly, and safely regulate this space. they're going to do things like clearly label ai-generated content, like image likeness, voice cloning, for example, with water marks, to be able to curve the spread of misinformation, but also committing to investing more in cybersecurity, more testing, and research, for potential vulnerabilities, and bias, discrimination, and associated with these technologies, before they release them to the public. and they have also agreed to more closely share the information that they get from that testing and that research. the president today calling this a promising first step. but he admitted there's still so much work to be done in this space. he said that in the next few

weeks, he's going to be working on an executive order that he will sign into law to better regulation ai technology, and he also urged congress to pass bipartisan legislation to be able to do that as well, so in the meantime, as we wait for these next steps, the president, the biden administration, hoping that other ai companies following suit and follow the example of the ones we saw today. >> it is really interesting to see them act so quickly with the rapidly developing technology. kevin, i want to bring you in. i know you've reported extensively on how many people are actually concerned about the growth of ai. what are they saying about all of this? do you think this agreement goes far enough for them? >> they do not. they definitely do not. they say it is a great first step, but it is that, a first step, they are looking forward to the executive order and it hope that it has some teeth to it. they did note that yes, as you mentioned, it is voluntary, not binding, it is a lot of really great provisions that a responsible company should do, but it is not binding. they also noticed that it has not mention of what data is used

to train these systems. and that's a crucial point. we often don't know, how are these companies training these systems? they go through extensive bits of data to convince their systems on how to work, you know, that's how they work, and we don't know what they're using, what they're looking at, is it the whole internet is, it private information, we don't know, we are waiting to take a look. >> kevin, all of those unknown aspects and seems like people only closely involved with this would know, how difficult is it for legislators to plan to set up rules for something that they don't fully understand how it works? i mean do they understand how it works? >> it depends which one you talk to. some of them think they understand it better than others. but no, that's exactly, there has been a lot of struggle. and a lot of lawmakers have put a a lot of energy into this, , there's a lot of behind the closed doors hearings, but yes, it is still a lot to learn. >> all right. allie raffa, and kevin collier,

thank you so much. to an nbc news exclusive interview, dr. mandy cohen is the new director for the centers for disease control, and recently sat down with nbc news medical reporter erika edwards to discuss changes she wants to implement at that agency. what was the top of the list in terms of changes she wants to make at the cdc and how does she plan to rebuild some of the trust in that agency that has possibly been lost in recent years? research. >> reporter: you said it right there perfectly, allison. one of the top things on mandy cohen's very long to do list is to rebuild that credibility and confidence in the cdc. part of that is to make sure any kind of public health guidance that comes out of the cdc is communicated clearly and concisely, so that americans have the proper tools and knowledge they need to live their healthiest lives. she is trying to get her whole team on board. here is what she had to say. >> first, it starts with the

whole team at cdc. trust is not just built with me, doing something different. it's all of us being different. and my first all hands meeting here at cdc last week, the first thing we talked about was trust. >> reporter: s hopes that kind of team building will get the agency back on its a game. ellison? >> how does thee plan to sort of bridge the political divide that exists in this country? probably not something as a doctor she thought she would have to navigate in her career but public health issues have become very politicized in this country. >> reporter: interesting, because dr. cohen says the public health is not and should not be a partisan issue. in fact, flew to washington this week to meet with democrat and republican lawmakers to learn about their concerns and educate them on exactly what the cdc does to protect americans' health. and mistake the strategy work, as she is in north carolina,

democrat, successfully worked with conservatives to expand medicaid in the state and hoping it will translate to the federal level. ellison? >> thank you very much. vice president kamala harris is speaking out over forward's controversial new standards for how african american history will be taught inle skoos. on wednesday, the state's board of education approved the 2023 standards in social studies and part of the 216-page document, it says quote, slaves develop skills which in some instances could be applied to their personal benefit. to say the least, people are not responding well to that. so we've got nbc news correspondent tremaine lee with the latest now. before we get to what vice president harris is saying, can you walk us lieu how we got here? i know you and i have reported extensively on a lot of these ap-black history bans. >> that's right, in so many ways the precursor to the moment we're in now began in 2022 when governor ron desantis signed the so-called stop woke act, which really curtailed and limited the way history can be taught in

schools, especially african american history. the idea from the proponents of that stop woke act is they didn't want kids feeling bad about themselves if the history was taught a certain way, presumably white children and they weren't going to be teaching anyone there was an opposer and oppressed and certainly led to book banes and consternation and really sparked the early kindling for this culture war which is happening now. >> and tremaine, obviously, this is getting a lot of reaction, and what are we hearing from the vice president, and how is desantis and his nation depending this move out of florida. >> that's right, vice president kamala harris is in florida, she will be speaking momentarily, about this, but the white house has said, you know, this is the work of extremists and revisionists, who want to limit the truth about american history, the good, and the bad. and now again, while kamala harris will be speaking in jacksonville, shortly, yesterday, in indianapolis, she addressed a convention of sorority sisters and here is

what she had to say. >> they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefitted from slavery. they insult us in an attempt to gas light us, and we will not stand for it. >> while many are shocked and concerned about these latest developments, governor ron desantis is actually doubling down. and i want to read a quote that he sent out earlier this afternoon. democrats like kamala harris have to lie about florida's educational standards to cover for their agenda of in dock nating students and pushing sexual topics on children. florida stands in their way and we will continue to expose their agenda and their lies. and this is very much just the beginning of what seems to be, appears to be a long battle over what children are learning about the truth about american history. >> and we've heard a lot of strong words. any legal action coming down the line? i know we heard from attorney

ben crump earlier this year. >> not quite yet, but we can plan, we should assume that there should be legal challenges along the way, as well as folks with the naacp, urging that people boycott florida, that they don't go and spend their money in a state that is working so hard to undermine, not just american history, but how black students are actually learning about their own history, and what professors and teachers are able to teach in these classrooms. so we should expect something soon. >> trymaine lee, thank you. you could say a messi mainy has taken soccer fans by storm in south florida. >> that's because football legend lionel messi will take to the field for the very first time tonight, we hope, after signing a two and a half year contract with major league soccer club inter miami. marissa parra is in south florida and it may be the second half before fans see the

argentina legend but are fans excited for this game regardless? >> reporter: absolutely. this is a luge moment for soccer fans and for soccer in general. just thinking about both of the games happening tonight, between of course, you have the women's team, and then of course, behind me he at dry pink stadium, messi making his debut. there is a lot of excitement. you can't drive very far in miami without seeing messi likenesses somehow, somewhere, whether it is graffiti under a bridge, whether it is a bus stop, with its face plastered on it, we've seen buses passing by, and of course people wearing different versions of his face, or his name on their shirts, and of course, those jerseys in hot, high demand right now. but when we talk about the messi mania, the messi effect, we know that ticket prices have gone up 500%, and that is according to ticket iq, so there is just not, not just expected among soccer fans itself, because remember, this is a worldwide beloved sport. the most, the most beloved worldwide sport. but it hasn't really taken off in the u.s. the same way it has in other parts of the world.

so a lot of them are feeling like maybe, just maybe, this could be the beginning of the sport taking off in the same way here, guys. >> i would love to see that. well, time will tell. thank you. have you ever felt a bit unfriendly after seeing your friends post online? coming up, the steps you can take right now to protect your mental healt you'reh. w

in today's mental health check, we're focusing on setting healthy boundaries online. research shows that people who use social media are frequently more likely to experience poor mental health, such as depression, anxiety and body image concern. there is the risk of online bullying, and cyber stalking. >> that's why experts say it is important to prioritize their mental health by hitting the mute, unfollow and block buttons. joining us to talk about this is dr. lauren cook, a clinical psychologist, speaker and author of the book "generation anxiety," dr. cook, this is so relevant for all of us, right? in our downtime, we're just on the phone. on the phone. on the phone. so what are some of the signs that social media is affecting your mental health and how do you know when it is time to actually mute, unfollow, or block? >> absolutely. well, what's very interesting is we see a lot of people, when they go online, they report afterwards that they have an increase in anxiety and depression after they have spent time online. and if you're finding that you're struggling to engage in a conversation in real life with

someone, because you are so distracted by what is going on, on your phone, that is a cue that your phone may be taking over your mental health. and we are so addicted to the dopamine hits that we get when we see the comments and the likes, and that addictive behavior is something that really can suck us all in if we're not careful. >> so how do you decide, one, it's the time to set some boundaries, and two, what do you do if you're someone that just feels a little uncomfortable with confrontation, and you feel like maybe a block is going to put you in a tricky situation in real life? >> well, if you find the first thing you do, the seconds you get a break, is to check your phone, that may be an indicator that it is taking over your life. it is so important that not only do we set boundaries with others in terms of how we're engaging with them online and setting boundaries ourselves and give ourselves time limits and not spending five, six, seven hours a day on social media. the hard thing is, you know, when someone may be activating us online, what do we do with that, right? the important thing is that if you are finding it has affected

your mental health, unfollow that account, use that account, so you're not being constantly inundated and bombarded with content that is not helpful for your mental health. >> especially, i'm glad we had that graphic, if someone is making you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, and if there is someone though, who is not doing those things, but maybe they bothered you or you don't feel good when you see them, should you give them a chance to stop their behavior, do you talk to them in person? maybe it is an ex? >> how do you go about having those conversations? >> well, here's my thought on. if you are not keeping an in real life relationship with a american any longer, there is no point in an online relationship as well. i so he this happen with a lot of my clients and i write about this in generation anxiety of why you need to have boundaries with folks, because sometimes i will see folks still stalking their exes, ven mow transactions, locations, oh, yes, and you really want to be mindful of that, that if it is not a real life relationship, don't keep it up online as well. >> and give somebody that space.

and don't let them take up your energy and your day and keep your venmos private, folks. >> for people who are like i know when i should mute, block, unfollow, all of the things, and what about on instagram, you can also restrict which i say is a clutch move because they don't notice and you don't see it, and i have used that before, and it was a way to like, have a clean break, and not have to see something la was bothering me and also not feel like i was aggressively x'ing somebody out or whatever you want to call it but when should you make the choice to do one of those moves? >> that is the thing, right, what is interesting about social media, we can unmute each other, and we can, you know, end our relationships online, and in real life, it would be really kind of odd, right, to go up to an acquaintance and say i don't want any interaction with you any more, i'm unfollowing you and that's where we can be gracious and polite and mute people who we don't want to have as much interaction with. and like i said, if you have ended a relationship with an ex, or even a friendship breakup,

for example, that is a really good indicator, if you're getting activated by seeing that person's content, and certainly, if it is stopping you from moving on to a new and healthy relationship, enthose online connections that you've got going. >> absolutely. and of course, there is also times when you shouldn't unmute and you should have build emotional resiliency and getting jealous, like it is okay to celebrate other people, that's good, too. what are other ways people can protect your health, mental health online, really briefly here? >> yeah, absolutely. keep your phone out of sight, out of mind. so many of us, we keep that phone on our counter top. and we are always keeping an eye on out on all of those notification and that is literally sending cortisol through our bodies throughout through our bodies throughout the day and trelegy for r copd. ♪♪birds flyiyin' high, y you know h how i feel.l.♪ ♪breeeeze driftinin' on b♪ ♪...y.you know hohow i feel♪ you u don't haveve to take...
