hi, everyone. thanks so much for joining us. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm ellison barber in for kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, mon july 31st, 2023. first arance. the marago staff accused

of trying to deleteurity footage faces a judg why he wasn't able to enter a plea. breaking news. pall reubens better known as pee-wee herman h diedt 70. what we're leag about actor's secret battle with cancer. going up, once again gas prices are climbing. plus, is there any relief in sight in. and jenny from the dock, ever wanted to book a cruise with jennifer lopez, here's your chance. how artificial intelligence is giving a little starpower to the travel industry. we'll begin this hour with the growing legal threats for former president donald trump. >> first, in classified documents, a property manager accused of scheming with trump to try and delete security footage. carlos deoliveira didn't enter a plea.

indictment included new charges against the former president as well as his aide walt nauta. >> we're closely watching two election interference investigations. special counsel smith's grand jury is expected to meet tomorrow in washington, d.c., and in georgia, fani willis said her offices ready to go, quote, with charging documents. danny, let's start with you here. carlos de oliveira didn't enter a plea because he didn't have a local lawyer, that's the same thing we saw happen with walt nauta last month. how can that affect the case? >> a small delay and often times especially in state court, the defendant doesn't have privately retained counsel by the time of the arraignment this is a good example, the arraignment happens just days after the indictment

is revealed. commonly the case the defendant hasn't hired the attorney they want to hire. in this case, i suppose it's not too unusual that a judge would allow a short delay to retain private counsel, an indefinite delay that could go for a long time. de oliveira has access to funds that an ordinary defendant would have access to. a short delay, maybe a few weeks, as we saw with nauta, that lasted three weeks before he was finally arraign zbld garrett, let's talk polling, of course we're still months out from 2024 but a new poll shows the legal issues that trump is facing don't appear to be hurting him politically. walk us through these numbers. >> reporter: campaign professionals hate national

polls like this because it's not how we conduct our elections, but the numbers in this poll are so striking you see it there, donald trump with a 37-point lead over his closest rival ron desantis, every other candidate polling in the low single digits. it speaks to how dominant donald trump has been, while this poll was conducted before the superseding indictment came out last thursday it indicates again how strong he is, when you dive further into it, the picture gets worse for these rivals, even republicans who aren't supporting donald trump say that it's important to stand behind him, so that means if you're one of these other candidates and your strategy revolves around donald trump tagging a major hit because of these investigations you may need to rethink that strategy. >> garrett, we focused so much on the federal cases in

washington, did. c., and florida. but there's also georgia, right a state case there, the window for charging decisions in fulton county is now open, can you remind us what that case was about if. >> reporter: another case about election interference, the same kind of thing that jack smith is looking at nationally but just focused on what happened in georgia and for most part it's probably the case they remember the symbol most striking individual piece of ed, that phone call that the former president is on tape making to brad raffensperger the secretary of state of georgia, to find enough votes for him to be declared the winner down in georgia. this has been under investigation for a very long time, this month, august, this case will go in front of a grand jury. ellison, people in trump world have long looked at this case that they're sort singularly most focused on, because the president can't pardon himself

and the evidence is so easy to understand against the former president in this case. >> all right, garrett haake and danny, thank you. there are urgent efforts to local a mother and her child who were kidnapped in haiti, a nurse working for a christian charity. she and her daughter were abducted on thursday. it all comes amid intense civil unrest in haiti's capital -au-p >>orter: alix dorsainvil m have been from this small town in new hampshire but she consed haiti her home at this point. she worked for the nonprofit el roi founded by her husband. really loved the community and what she was doing there. that organization today said it's working with its trusted partners to try and secure her

release and the release of her young daughter as quickly as possible. though they haven't released too many details about what happened, the organization and those close to this saying that for her safety they're really keeping some of those details close to the vest, but today she's certainly being thought of as someone who had dedicated her life to service, here's what the university president at that school in massachusetts where she went had to say about alix. >> alix is very compassionate and cared very much for people who had great need, she sacrificed her life to do good for our acountry that desperately needs the help she provides. >> reporter: the white house and the state department telling nbc news they're aware of the reports of kidnapping and have been in frequent contact with haitian officials, of the

port kidnapping happened on the same day the state department issued this level 4 advisory recalling any non-essential personnel and warning americans not to travel to haiti amid deteriorating circumstances there. 40 kidnappings in haiti and another 70 killings in the time between may 1st and july 12th, so a very dangerous situation there, we're continuing to monitor all these efforts to return alix and her daughter as quickly as possible. back to you. if you filled up your tank recently you've probably noticed that gas prices are on the rise. according to aaa right now, a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is going for $3.76 on average. the price right now though is still less than the over $4 price we saw last year, but if you're in state like california,

washington or hawaii, forget about it, you know all too well, you're paying nearly 5 bucks a gallon. steve patterson joins us now from los angeles, where he's seeing those really big sticker prices. let's start with the why right now. >> reporter: forget about it indeed, driver in los angeles, there's a number of reasons, right, first of all the giopolitical situation, opec, saud ai arabia has cut the production of crude oil worldwide that affects the market for gasoline, beyond that there are market considerations like the height of the summer driving season, using the summer blend, the most interesting one happens to be about what i'm standing in right now which is the heat, it's actually affecting oil refineries in places like the gulf, louisiana, even parts of california, parts of the west coastav these refinerind what happens is

hundred-degree days. the machines get too hot. we have to cut production to those machines which means we're not refining oil at the same clip we're used to which makes gas go up, of course that oil production the oil refinery makes the gasoline that we use here, so gas is higher, is it going to get better? of course it will get better. as we head toward september when the driving season lessens, that works in our favor but before that, we're talking about another seven, ten-cent increase. ellison. >> steve, i can't stop staring at those numbers over your shoulder. hopefully those numbers come down soon. let's keep talking your money, a major trucking company is heading for bankruptcy. >> morgan brennan joins us with

the money minute. u.s. trucking company yellow is filing for bankruptcy, according to the teamsters union. yellow one of the largest truck carriers in the country, served companies like walmart and home depot. the x on top of the building formally known as twitter is causing controversy. videos of the signs show it flashing brightly, san francisco launched an investigation into the sign last week, saying the company didn't have the proper permit. barbie and oppenheimer still dominating the box office. barbie took 93 million in the second weekend. $1 billion globally now. oppenheimer follows with $46 million in u.s. ticket sales.

arrest. in the statement she put out, she writes, in part, they deserve speaking about her neighbors and her family, they serve to leave peacelely, walk their dogs and go to grocery stores without cameras shoved in their faces, i'm pleading with you all to give us space so we regain some normalcy in our lives. >> it's been a very tumultuous time for them. she needs to protect herself and her children. >> reporter: they've only just been given access to that house, they've pulled out a ton of possible evidence that they've got to go through, ellison. >> what's next? >> there's hearing tomorrow, rex heuermann will be in court, it's going to be hearing talking about his bail at the moment, he's being held without bail at

the moment. >> stephanie gosk, thank you. moments ago a former business associate of hunter bide devon archer wrapped up a closed-door meeting with the house oversight meeting, they invited him to appear into the investigation of the president's son. gary, there's a lot of back and forth here, right, between congressional republicans and the justice department over today's testimony, can you explain to us who devon archer is. >> reporter: he by no means isn't a household name. he's a friend, a longtime friend and longtime business partner of hunter biden, both on the buri is, many, a board together at the center of all this

attention. we're just getting out the meeting right now the hearing just ended we're told. in that hearing we're told that archer detailed more than 20 times that former vice president biden interacted with foreign business leaders with devon archer and hunter biden. representative goldman said he was never about business, casual conversations, but devon archer said hunter biden was selling the illusion of access to his dad. >> he never said that he has never spoken to anyone, he said that he had nothing to do with hunter biden's business deals, if he said hello to someone that he sees his son with, is he supposed to say, hi son, i'm not going to say hello to the other people at the table or on the

phone. >> reporter: remember, this is the house oversight committee they're not the department of justice they can't make charges what they can do is refer charges to the department of justice and the department of justice makes decisions from there, so nobody is going to jail because of what happened with house oversight today. >> lot of people are watching this case. gary, thank you very much. workers at a dog shelter in ohio say they are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from their community. just a few days ago they took in nearly 90 dogs that were rescued from horrible conditions. our affiliate in cincinnati takes us inside the shelter to show how people are helping out. >> reporter: just 48 hours removed from a property in madison township where almost three dozen were found dead in freezers and another 90 rescued

>> reporter: well, he made clear he's prepared to tough out the criticism, he's the leader of deeply divided nation, we have seen those divides on full display on the streets here on jerusalem with these massive protests against his plan to weaken the israeli supreme court. more than half of israelis share that fear, so that's where i started our conversation with prime minister netanyahu. >> prime minister, you successfully passed the first part of your legislation, but only after six months of mass protests that have left this country so divided, israel's president has actually warned of the danger of civil war. was it worth it? >> there won't be civil war, i guarantee you that, but i think that correcting the imbalance in israel's democracy, where the judiciary is basically arrogated to itself, nearly all the powers of the executive branch and the

legislator, i think yes, it is, important to do it, when the dust settles people will see that israel's democracy has been strengthened and not weakened. >> reporter: now, that's kind of the core of the prime minister's argument, he said these were necessary reforms, they took power out of the hands out of unelecte judgeeturn them to elected politicians. protesters aren't convinced by . courts the only power onto check on the government. >> you asked them about the relationship between israel and the palestinian people, what exactly did he say? >> yes, i asked him specifically about the situation in the occupied west bank where you have about 2 million palestinians who depending on where they live have various degrees of autonomy but they live under israeli military control they can't leave or enter the west bank without

israel's permission. and this has been going on for 50 years and for all of those 50 years those palestinians have not had a vote in the israeli government that controls them, now a number of human rights group here in israel and in the united states and a growing number of democratic members of congress are saying this situation is tantamount to apartheid. i put to prime minister netanyahu. >> it's not apartheid. they can vote for their own parliament. they have their own flag, anthem, the one thing they shouldn't have control over is security, because security means that they'll fall prey to terrorism and we'll fall prey to iran's terrorism proxy. >> reporter: the prime minister rejecting the label of apartheid. the argument is if they end
