>> reporter: moving one step closer to advancing at the world cup, today, thursday, july 27th, 2023 >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza well, good morning welcome to "today. so happy you're joining us on this thursday morning. team usa came back they were down 1-nil >> if you state department up late, you sa the good stuff, when you saw team usa scoring, a fascinating turn of events we'll get into it. abby wambach will join us a little bit later to get into the game and we've been talking about this heat moving across the country. in the northeast, it's here. >> check out philly. this is a live look. it is expected to feel like 109 degrees today. overnight, the country's biggest electrical grid operator issued an alert because of the increased use of air-conditioners al will have his forecast for us

in just a second >> let us start in washington. that major about-face, it happened in the hunter biden case his plea deal appeared to be a done deal, but then it fell apart in court, th judge refusing to sign off this led to an hours-long legal back and forth in open court eventually, the deal was no-go hunter biden pleaded not guilty. we'll see what happens now >> the questions that still remain is that plea deal totally off the table? will he face additional charges and what does it mean for president biden in 2024? we do have complete coverage for you. we'll start off with nbc's ryan nobles ryan, good morning >> reporter: hoda, good morning to you as of this moment, hunter biden has pleaded not guilty to a series of tax charges. this after that hearing designed to settle the plea arrangement with the government went wildly off the rails, leading to a new round of problems for hunter biden and by extension more

political problems for his father hunter biden was hoping his legal problems were coming to an end, but a judge in a delaware federal courtroom had other plans. marianne noriega, a trump-appointed federal judge, refused to accept the plea agreement agreed to by federal judges and biden's lawyers telling the lawyers, quote, i'm not in a position to accept or reject this plea agreement, so i'm going to defer it. it was a stunning turn of events both sides were expecting biden to plead guilty and agree to a diversion program to avoid a separate gun charge. but the judge had issues with the proposed deal and she pressed prosecutors to reveal that their investigation into the president's son wasn't over, asking u.s. attorney leo wise, is there an ongoing investigation? to which wise responded, yes, there is the two sides not on the same page for what the plea deal would mean for biden's legal future at one point

biden's attorney walking up to the prosecution table, saying he thought everything had already agreed to and then threatening to, quote, rip it up eventually, they agreed the deal would only absolve hunter of legal issues between 2014 and 2019 and only on drug, tax, and firearms charges related to the specific gun in question meaning biden's business deals, which republicans continue to probe, are still an avenue for future federal charges >> there shouldn't be two justice systems in america >> reporter: under any circumstance, it means that hunter biden continues to be a political headache for his fathers, and republicans are still leaving the door open to launch an impeachment inquiry. >> it doesn't impact my investigation, because the department of justice and fbi haven't done a darned thing to help me. >> and it's a topic that the white house refuses to engage on >> the president and the first lady, they love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life this case was handled independently. >> reporter: and as of this moment, th

judge has told the two sides that she was concerned that there were constitutional issues with that plea arrangement she's given them 30 days to come up with a new plan that she can feel comfortable signing off on. until then, this case is headed to trial savannah >> ryan, thank you let's get more perspective on all of this from senior legal correspondent, laura jarrett, and senior washington correspondent hallie jackson on the politics but let's start with what happened in court yesterday. this is quite unusual for two parties to have a plea agreement, they think they're going to go in there and the judge is going to sign off and suddenly it's all up in the air and it becomes clear, they don't agree on what they agreed to can you break it down for us >> the problem is they were fundamentally not on the same page, which is remarkable given the stakes here, given all the scrutiny, given the fact that this was negotiated over a period of months, heavily. and it was clear, as you and i have talked about, even last month, when they first announced this deal, that they were not on the same page. the government was saying that the investigation was ongoing, hunter biden's lawyers saying

this is all wrapped up it only took a moment for the judge to say, wait a minute, are you saying to the government that this means he cannot be prosecuted for any of his foreign dealing with foreign governments and it was clear the government was saying, no, and that's when hunter biden's lawyer said, we don't have a deal how they were that far apart at that late date is absolutely -- >> it's a fundamental issue. hunter biden agrees to plead guilty, he's told by his lawyers, he thinks that wipes his slate clean, no more problems >> and you can understand why he wants that >> but then the prosecutor says, no, we're still looking at these foreign dealings >> and that is much more serious than these two misdemeanor tax charges. that's why he hoped it would be walked away. but at the end of the day, he walked out of there. >> the judge is not sure that the agreement as written, whether she has the authority to hold up his end of the bargain on the gun charges this is where she starts getting into the constitutional issues,

do i have the power, do i not have the power do you think that this plea arrangement can be salvaged? does it seem like they could get together now, work it out and make a more concrete agreement and keep the plea agreement going? >> yes, and part of it is that they structured it in a way that the judge called creative and atypical, so they could remove her from it. what she wanted. typically, the judge isn't part of a pre-trial diversion which all that means is that the government has said, we're not going to prosecute you, as long as you agree not to use drugs, not to try to buy a firearm. but if he breaks that agreement, they wanted the judge to be a neutral arbiter. and you can understand why biden wants that, in case the administration changes hands, he wants the judge to be the referee in case the doj changes. but she didn't want to do that so they'll have to go back and try to redo this. >> the political matter continues to unfold on capitol hill

there's two investigations one is into the plea deal itself, whether or not hunter biden got what some think was a sweetheart deal from the department of justice, and the other issue has to deal with these foreign dealings and whether there's any there against hunter biden and ultimately his fire. -- his father. >> and neither of those are going away, savannah, right? what we've seen in light of this plea deal falling apart is some republicans argue, hey, this validates their concerns that hunter president biden deserves more scrutiny. there are those in biden world, who as one source put it to me just last night, think that republicans were never going to let this go anyway this could have been the most perfect plea deal and everything could have gone smoothly yesterday and be done with it and republicans would still be talking about it the bottom line is, it is not going away you have the lead prosecutor in this case already offering to testify publicly in front of members of congress in the fall. and keep in mind on these allegations of politicization, that's what we heard from those irs whistle-blowers who came forward and testified in front of congress. the attorney general has

defended his government's actions, pushed back on these allegations. that's a piece of this as well the bottom line is that politically, savannah, after yesterday, i think there was a hope from those close to president biden that this would at least be the start of the end of the discussion around hunter biden's legal issues it is clearly not that we're going to continue to be talking about this, because it's going to continue to be news now for months >> all right laura, thank you very much hallie, thank you very much. appreciate it. let's turn now to the growing concern for the health of senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, after he appeared to suffer a medical episode during a news conference. he froze mid-sentence for about 20 seconds nbc's senior capitol hill correspondent garrett hake has the very latest. hey, garrett, good morning >> hoda, good morning. it was certainly a frightening moment for lawmakers and for the reporters who witnessed it and one that was serious enough that it even prompted a phone call from president biden. but the good news this morning, the 81-year-old senator said he felt just fine as he headed home on wednesday

hours after freezing up during a news conference, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell reassuring reporters about his health as he left the capitol late wednesday >> i'm fine. >> the republican would not say whether he saw a doctor. instead, joking about the moment, comparing it to president biden's trip and fall last month >> when the president called to check on me, i just told him i got sandbagged but hours earlier, it was no laughing matter as the senator's weekly update took a turn. >> this week, it's been good bipartisan cooperation and a string of, uh -- >> are you good, mitch >> reporter: that pause lasting for 19 seconds

the 81-year-old mcconnell apparently suffering some sort of medical episode >> hey, mitch? >> his colleagues clearly worried. >> anything else you want to say or should we just go back to your office? >> senator john barrasso of wyoming, who is also a doctor, escorted him away from the podium and back to his office, but moments later, mcconnell was back at the podium shrugging off any concerns >> you're fine, fully able to do your job >> yeah. >> reporter: it's the latest incident after a topple in march that left the top senate republican with a concussion and fractured rib. that took six weeks of recovery. in 2019, mcconnell had shoulder surgery after another fall and nbc news learning that mcconnell tripped and fell just this month while disembarking a plane at reagan national airport, according to two sources familiar with the incident and the childhood polio survivor, who has always had some trouble navigating crowds and stairs has been using a wheelchair as a precaution to help him navigate crowded airports senator mcconnell's office has

been tight-lipped about what caused wednesday's incident, saying only that the senator was feeling light-headed and pointing out that he answered reporters' questions sharply after he returned. >> garrett hake there for us at the capitol. what a scene here in new york a portion of midtown manhattan remains closed because of a frightening accident that happened a fiery crane collapsed. all caught on camera look at it right there nearly a dozen people were injured and a lot of rattled nerves in midtown, but this could have been a lot worse. kathy park is on the story katy, good morning >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you residents here on the ground yesterday described hearing a loud blast followed by tremors and that's when panic started to set in, with very little warning. mangled metal and 16 tons of concrete came crashing down from this 45-story building this is a live look at the structure from a different angle, and as you can see, the cleanup is still very much under

way. this morning, investigators in new york city are trying to figure out what sparked a fire on a construction crane leading to a slow-motion disaster more than 40 stories up witnesses capturing the sky-high drama, the metal boom snapping, followed by the crane striking a neighboring building as debris crashed to the ground below. >> 5-5-0 tenth avenue, reporting a crane on fire. >> see the hopper coming down full of concrete, big explosion, started running. >> i thought it was another terrorist attack or something. >> reporter: eldridge smith was on the 27th floor across the street when -- >> all of a sudden, i heard kaboom and my -- all the windows in my apartment shook. >> reporter: in all, a dozen people injured three firefighters and nine civilians. fire officials say all of them are expected to recover. the frightening scene unfolding in one of the busiest corners of midtown manhattan, just blocks from times square. >> this could have been much worse. >> authorities say the crane

operator had been lifting a 16-ton load of concrete when he saw the flames and tried putting them out himself when that didn't work, he had to leave. >> i told the guys, that's a bad sign the best thing he did was exit >> and while rare crane collapses in manhattan have taken a deadly turn in the past, in 2016, a pedestrian was killed when crews did not properly secure a crane when wind gusts reached close to 20 miles per hour meanwhile, here in midtown, officials say that the fire likely weakened the cabling on the crane, which ultimately led to the collapse. but all of this is still under investigation. savannah >> so scary. kathy, thank you very much 7:16 craig joins the table. still talking heat >> yes, that extreme heat that we have been talking about for weeks now had much of the country sweltering, it's made its way here to the northeast.

hi, molly. >> reporter: good morning from wellington even though that u.s. game didn't go exactly as the u.s. team or fans wanted, i've managed to find a late-night soccer game here in wellington with very high stakes and these young fans say they believe their team is going all the way ♪ it was not the result the u.s. women were looking for, but it was the tough, physical match that everyone expected. 17 minutes in, the dutch buried one in the back of the net the crowd went nuts, the orange team was gaining momentum. but american rose lavelle came off the bench, there was a spark. in the second half, co-captain lindsey horan went down with a hard tackle from dutch midfielder, who happens to be horan's club teammate. the ref breaking the two up and then lavelle taking the corner, and horan heading it straight into the net

>> she did it! >> reporter: we caught up with the co-captain after the match >> the first half, we were fighting for the ball, running a lot, and the momentum one going in our favor, so at halftime, we made a few switches, changed a little bit, the momentum came, and opportunities came with that really happy for the goal. >> reporter: and she happened to be doing interviews right next to van de donk the two seen hug on the pitch and the dutch hosting this photo later of the two friends, by the way, they're all good. we asked alex morgan about the front line she leads >> do you think the three of you are gelling more than last week? >> i think last week was really different. vietnam was a very different team to play but i felt like we definitely found each other a lot more. >> reporter: despite the draw, american fans aren't too disappointed >> we knew this was going to be a challenging game, so we have to get it under our belt

>> in every statistic, they outperformed the netherlands but the problem is, we like to see our women's team dominate, and we don't feel comfortable unless we are up by two or three goals. and that's just not going to be the way of the future. other teams are getting better, other federations are putting so much more money in their programs and credit to netherlands, but they played an amazing first half and every single team has to figure out how to define themselves in every world championship, in every team i played on that was successful, there was a momentum that had to build, right so it doesn't just show up on game one, you want to be playing seven games to find yourself into that final. and that's a lot of games. >> can you break down how it all went down in the second half i know you had a tweet that was heard around the world and tell us what happened? >> about the 60th minute, lindsey horan gets into what i would call a pretty dangerous

tackle van de don comes in, takes her out. i think that that's a foul i think that's the yellow card she comes at her knees, it's not good lindsey gets a little bit upset, rightfully so. this leads to lindsey coming on a few minutes later from her little injury time-out we get awarded a corner kick and rose lavelle puts the ball in who scores the goal? lindsey horan on the corner kick header, which of course is my claim to fame. and i was going nuts in my hotel room last night. i was like, for sure the security is coming to my room. >> do you think there's something about what had just happened to her which is directly to -- and now i'm going to put this ball in and show you who's boss >> 100%. all of us know what it's like to be bullied on the playground in school and take that high road like lindsey took the high road, and so infrequently can we get rewarded right away.

i cannot wait to get lindsey horan on my podcast. >> let's look ahead, next week we've got portugal what do we need to see from team usa to beat portugal to get a good seat in the next round? >> i think that every team has to find itself throughout these tournaments. and this moment with horan last night was a moment where we could see, oh, there they are. this team is defining itself and portugal is another game where they get to keep defining who they are we need to win that game full stop but now we're in an interesting situation against the netherlands, that we have to have more goals against. right now, we're sitting at tied in points with the netherlands whoever goes out first in our group will be playing the second-place team out of group "g." if you come out second, you're playing the first place team out of group "g. so you want to come out first in your group >> can we just get your text

arrangement that they had agreed to with the government, but it became clear pretty early on that the judge was concerned that the two sides weren't on the parametef the plt came to arrangement wouldow biden to plead guilty to t misdemeanor tax charges and then separately, that she did not want to be the person responsifor moring biden's participation in a diversion program that would allow him to escape a gun charge that carried with it a ten-year prison sentence. the two sides have 30 days to come up with a way to rectify this problem until then, in case goes to trial, and as a result, it creates a new round of political problems for hunter biden's father, the president of the united states, republicans were already insistent that they were going to continue to investigate biden's foreign business dealings now, federal prosecutors in that hearing yesterday saying that their investigation continues. now, it is important to keep in mind, while republicans believe that there is a tie between hunter biden's business dealings and the president himself, they have yet to provide any hard evidence that the president himself has done anything wrong.

what's the innovation here why are doctors so excited about it >> we know that postpartum depression affects many women, the cdc says one in eight, so very common be just baby blues which many women experience from the drop in hormones after you give birth, but something more persistent, experiencing symptoms of hopelessness, sadness, difficulty bonding with the baby and not even being able to take care of the baby because of feeling so inadequate and worthless. so we really need good treatments and there are some treatments available, but they take a long time to work that's what's really game changing about this new drug which can give you relief within just a few days of starting it it's a two-week oral pill, that's also wonderful, you can take it at home, it's only two weeks, and it really did show in these recent study to have a superior effect as opposed to prior treatments >> a lot of these, for good things and not so good things. what are the side effects? >> some include dizziness, sedation, drowsiness, but it was

a minority of people and none were life threatening, when you stop after 14 days, those side effects go away. some other people had nausea and diarrhea, but nothing major. >> what about breast-feeding people would be breast-feeding during this time >> that's the one potential issue with this drug it hasn't actually been test on breast-feeding women the women in these studies were told to stop breast-feeding for the two weeks they were on the drug this is obviously an issue because we are encouraging women to breast-feed, an many women won't want to stop for two weeks, fearing that they might not be able to restart it's not perfect, but we all know how difficult it is to take care of a newborn anyway when you're dealing with depression on top of that, it's so difficult to get a new treatment, it seems to work quickly and come in an oral form is remarkable. >> and can be serious for mom and for baby so we've got treat it. >> thanks. big bird is back home after giving its owners and police

scavo and julianne scavo are sisters and best friends >> i really lean on both of them >> it's the closest we've ever been >> the three have such an inseparable bond, it's hard to believe that they were actually separated at birth 32 years ago in colorado, their biological mom, kathleen, and her husband, lee, used a sperm donor and became pregnant with triplets but the couple had to make a tough decision >> they decided to put two babies up for adoption they were not well off financially and again, my mom was 100% deaf, so that further complicated the situation and made both of them believe that they wouldn't be able to raise three children successfully. >> kathleen and lee raised ricki while julianne and kendall were adopted as twins by tina and ken scavo who live 40 miles away ricky grew up knowing she was a triplet, but julianne and kendall had no idea that they had another sister, until their

parents gave them a special christmas gift when they were 8 years old. >> they had told kendall and i that they had one present left for us and it was the kind of present that could not be wrapped in a box and they showed us a picture of ricki and let us know that we had another sister out there >> the triplets than began exchanging letters every few months >> so we were like pen pals. >> it was the highlight of my childhood. >> reporter: in one letter, ricki writing to her sisters, all i've ever wanted was to run up to you and embrace both of you in my arms a few years later, ricki finally got that chance to hug her sisters. the three meeting for the first time at a local mall, when they were 11 years old. >> we, you know, walked in and saw each other and just like, ran up and gave each other the biggest hugs and it was like we had known each other forever >> since then, through all of life's ups and downs, including the tragic loss of both of their

dads, the triplets have only grown closer and now the three live just minutes away from each other in austin, texas. >> we're seeing each other at least once a week if not twice >> the more time we spend around each other, the more we start to like sound like each other and act like each other. >> they've even started a podcast together about their story, featuring some special guests >> you're here with the three babies that you birthed. >> look at you all you're all together and you're healthy and happy and smart. >> reporter: the triplets say they're grateful for each other and their now unbreakable bond >> they are just like the most important people to me >> being able to kind of cultivate this really unique relationship has just been like the best thing that we all could have done. >> here they are the triplets, ricki, jules, and kendall. good morning >> good morning! >> we're so happy to see you okay, this has been such an emotional journey, just to watch

this unfold. and ricki, you always knew that you were missing a part of you what was it like, describe the moment, when you're 11 years old, you're in a mall and you see the two sisters who you have kind of dreamt of meeting? >> a lot like a puzzle piece sliding into place i had been a pretty sad kid up to that point, because of the tragic loss of my father, it was the first reprieve i've had from that >> and you're identical, ricki and jules. not only are you meeting this long-lost sister, you're identical. >> yeah, it was very trippy. i had been resistant to thinking that we were identical for a long time, but it was just like looking in a mirror, and knowing that i didn't have those clothes and i didn't have my ears pierced. it was a little jarring, but it was so fun >> i was thinking about that christmas when your parents surprised you of a photograph. you have to describe that moment, because i can imagine it was exciting, but also sort of

like jarring >> it was very surreal, because, yeah, it looked like we were looking at a picture of julianne, but obviously not julianne so our parents took us aside separately, asked us individually how we felt about it >> how did you feel? >> i said, i'm unique. but, yeah, really cool >> so, you know, the years have gone on, you have obviously formed this really close relationship have you noticed things now where you're like, yeah, we're so triplets. it's an interesting thing where two of you have a different upbringing than you did, ricki, but do you find those similarities >> yeah, we talk about nature versus nurture all the time. julianne and i especially speak exactly the same, which i'm sure you've noticed, have the same hand movements, but most of all, we just got the oddball gene, i would say. >> i wondered, when you knew that -- you know, the way you were separated and your mom had

to make that very, very difficult decision, did you ask your mom, like, why us, why did it happen this way >> i think we always -- i don't know the it was why us so much as why them, my parents. because they did fight so long to have babies through the adoption process and because they told us so young, it was just always a part of growing up. it was never a shock to us that we were adopted. but of course, when we found out that we had a triplet, that was the bigger shock >> and for your adoptive parents, i'm sure it was a complex decision because you always want to make sure that you know you're going to hold on to your kids that you're raising and you love so much and when you add in this other element in a birth mom, it takes a lot of courage for your adoptive parents to say, let's bring these girls together >> i think they had to overcome a lot of fear in order to do that, because i think they just always had that inherent like fear that we would see our birth mom and and our sister and feel like a biological pull

that was just never the case >> so we're looking at you three, you all live in austin. this is the craziest situation how did it come to be that the three of you wound up in the same city sharing life like that >> i moved to austin first for graduate school. let's just pretend because we're on the "today" show that i completed that and i would say about eight years later, julianne had just been soul searching in california and i begged her to come join me and kendall just couldn't stay away >> love it well, you're together, right where you belong it's so fun to have you here and it just shows you that family transcends all of your definitions. >> i can't wait to hear your podcast, too, by the way >> well, we'll love your feedback >> by the way, we have a lot more on this remarkable story on today.com. thank you, girls let's go over to al and get a check of the weather >> love it i share that oddball gene, too >> let's look at showers and
