hi, everyone. i'm ellison barber. >> i'm tom costello. kate and sinclair are off. "nbc news daily" starts right

now. today, friday august 11th, 2023. breaking news, paradise on fire. at least 55 people dead and maui's police chief saying they do not know how many more are missing. we will talk to a woman who has been in lahaina since the fires began. and there's more breaking news. the hunter biden case, a special counsel has been appointed in the ongoing investigation of the president's son. what we know about this new development and what it means for potential charges. password protection. more platforms announcing they are cracking down on password sharing. why it's getting harder and more expensive to stream your favorite shows. and taming your temper. we ask an expert for the best ways to manage our anger. plus, does it really matter if you go to bed angry? we begin this hour with breaking news from hawaii. >> the scope of the devastation from the fires in maui, it is still coming into focus.

here is the latest, we know at least 55 people are dead, hundreds more are believed to be missing. hawaii's governor says this will likely be the worst natural disaster in the state's history. there are also questions today about hawaii's emergency warning system. the associated press reports there is no record of sirens going off as the fires were spreading. mauees's county mayor told the "today" show he could not comment on that specific issue but he did say everything happened very fast. >> i think this was an impossible situation, the fires came up so quickly and they spread so fast. >> we're also getting a new look at the devastation in lahaina. aerial video shows block after block of homes and buildings just in absolute charred ruins. the governor tells our nbc affiliate in honolulu that residents will be able to return sometime today. he is warning them to, quote, brace themselves for the destruction that they're going to see. in a moment we will speak with a tourist who is still in her

hotel in lahaina. let's begin our coverage with nbc news correspondent steve patterson, he is on the ground outsiden a evacuation center in maui. steve, what are you hearing from people who have now fled to that shelter? it looks like people have just lost everything. >> reporter: yeah, it's harrowing and heart breaking as you may imagine, tomorrow. people fleeing the flames and the smoke with just the shirts on their back in some cases n other cases they're able to get their families out, able to get as much equipment, as much food, as much medicine as they can out, but in other cases people really come to these shelters with nothing. thankfully these shelters are working, there are six spread out along the island of maui, they are taking care of people. there is ample food, there is ample water, there is ample shelter. there is spots for people to come. we have seen donations flow in all day, but some of the stories are just heartbreaking. with he spoke to a woman, a tourist who is in lahaina probably at the hotel with the

guest you are going to speak to later because it's one of the only structures still standing, seeing a wall of flames and smoke coming across the highway, making the decision to get out as soon as possible. she says she never wants to have that feeling again. a local woman, a young girl says both of her parents now have lost their jobs and she is remembering the people now that she believes are missing, that she has no word from and hasn't heard from. she said she spent her whole life in this one place. listen to what she told me about the situation. >> it was really sad to drive by when we were on our way here, seeing where i grew up, my friends' houses just gone. it was heartbreaking. my mom cried, my dad cries and i was like, i grew up here, this is what i know, i've never really been anywhere. it's very sad. >> reporter: just devastating for folks. of course, you were inquiring about a growing list of missing,

that list is not official, it live anywhere but it could be as high as 1,000 people that have not been found, identified and are not in contact with their family members. that is mission number one as this rescue operation and now recovery effort continues. guys, back to you. >> 1,000 people. steve, thahank you. steve patterson. joining us now is tracy gather, she is from california but was visiting lahaina with her husband for their wedding anniversary. tracy, we are so glad that you and your husband are safe right now, but tell us what you are experiencing at this moment. we understand you're still in your hotel in lahaina. >> yes, we are in our hotel, we have no electricity, we have no hot water. there is about 20% occupancy still and the royal lahaina resort is graciously letting all of its employees who have lost their homes, which is almost everyone i have spoken to, stay here indefinitely until they need to. we are safe because we are just

about six miles north, but the stories i have heard from people, like employees here and then people that were totally lost their homes and everything they own, a lady i spoke to named edna, she lived right in the condos across from sweet woods and there's about 20 occupants there and when she heard the winds coming down the mountain, she said the trees were bowing down to the ground, she could see smoke coming down and the fires, within ten minutes they were down the hill. people were in their cars to get out and were lining the streets in rows of cars and as the fire came down she was straddling a rorock in the water, she jumped into the ocean and was holding on and the embers would be put out when the fire hit her. the cars all started exploding and i know that you guys have a

small number of fatalities, but from what i'm hearing from the employees here and their families that are on that side, it's hundreds of people that were trapped in their cars that couldn't get out. they wanted to watch the fires is what she said with their air conditioning on and luckily she and about 30 other people jumped over the wall by the -- she was by paradise and they were holding on to the rocks and the waves were keeping them wet and that's how they survived. >> this was just right out of a horror movie, tracy. >> i know. >> it sounds like you're describing this could be absolutely even far worse than our worst fears in terms of how many people may have been trapped in their cars. >> it is. i'm telling you. they couldn't get out. we are locked in our resort. there's police guarding the entrance to our resort. if we leave we can't get back in. they want to stop looters, of course, and so if you leave you can't come back.

so my husband has been giving a couple people our room number so they can go get food because our resort is only giving food to guests so they can preserve it for as long as they can. it's -- yeah, pretty bad. pretty bad. >> tracy gather, we're glad you're safe but we're sorry for people affected we know you are surrounded by them. please pass along our best. tracy gaiter right in maui. we are following more breaking news this hour. >> this time it involves president biden's family. attorney general merrick garland has appointed special counsel to investigate the president's son hunter biden. just a few weeks ago hunter biden was set to plead guilty to tax charges in a deal that would have seen him avoid jail time. >> but that deal fell apart at the last minute due to a disagreement between hunter biden's lawyers an prosecutors. the new special counsel is the u.s. attorney for delaware,

david weiss. weiss was appointed by former president trump and was already leading the investigation into hunter biden. nbc news justice reporter ryan reilly joins us now. ryan, in a new court filing in the hunter biden case prosecutors wrote that this case, quote, will not resolve short of a trial. why is the special counsel being appointe now how does this change the investigation? it's a little bit of a good question because we don't really know the exact timeline and there's still a little bit of questions about how this all shaped up. we do know according to the justice department officials there say that this request to become special counsel came on tuesday, but there was still -- you know, this was still sort of in the works whether or not up until at least today is when we learned ultimately that there's not going to be this plea deal going forward, that there's just a fundamental disagreement there and they can't come to an arrangement. so this is going to be set for trial. what that also means is that because most of the alleged crimes took place either in d.c. or california they are not going

to be able to continue on the track in delaware. basically this is going to be pulled out of the federal court there and will be brought back to d.c., either in d.c. or in california because there's not jurisdiction in delaware. the only reason it actually moved forward in delaware initially was because there was this plea agreement and hunter biden would have waived his venue rights there and just agreed to go forward to simplify this given that the u.s. attorney who was investigating all of this was based in delaware. but the conduct itself happened elsewhere outside of his district. what we could see is for hunter biden to be added to the docket here and move this case forward. they will potentially bring those charges and either set court dates and set trial dates and what that means is that this will be smack dab in the middle of the 2024 campaign, what could have been potentially a day story, a week story is going to turn into something much longer. it's going to be this ongoing narrative and potentially ending with a lengthy trial that will expose a lot more evidence and bring a lot into the public that could have been avoided

potentially with a plea deal. >> so, ryan, what are hunter biden's attorneys or what is the white house saying about this new special counsel appointment? >> i think there's still a lit before confusion. hoont's attorneys did put out a statement what they had to say was, quote, the attorney general made clear that what was always the case in terms of the authority of the u.s. attorney's office in delaware in this matter, whether in delaware, washington, d.c. or elsewhere we expect a fair resolution on behalf of our client. the u.s. attorney has been diligently been investigating my client for five years and he had proposed a resolution which we fully intended to pursue in court. we are confident when all those maneuverings are at an end my client will have resolution and we will be moving forward with his life successfully. so potentially, you know, this is going to either go to trial or there's basically two paths to go forward but right now everything seems to be moving towards a trial and potentially really, really public part of this investigation. >> ryan, republicans on capitol

hill they have had a lot of their own hearings into hunter biden's business dealings. are they responding at all to the news? >> you know, a lot of the statements we've seen thus far from republicans has been very critical, even though this u.s. attorney was a donald trump appointee, because of the fact that he had agreed to this previous plea deal, they don't see him as necessarily trustworthy. a lot of not so positive reaction thus far from republicans. >> all right. ryan reilly, thank you. coming up, the price is not right. why some of your favorite streamers are upping their costs. plus a major development tied to the nation's opioid crisis. why the supreme court is temporarily blocking a multibillion dollar deal involving the makers of oxycontin. you're watatchin you're watatchin g (wheezing)g) asthmama isn't t pretty. it's the momement when you realizize that a g good day. is about t to become a a bad o. thenen, i remeed ththat wororld is so muchch bigger ththant, with trerelegy.

we're back. and the supreme court has weighed in on a case related to the nation's opioid epidemic. the court granted an emergency request from the biden administration linked to the bankruptcy of purdue pharma, one of the country's biggest drug makers. nbc news correspondent anne thompson explains what happens next and what this means for the victims. >> reporter: a massive settlement for purdue pharma is on hold after the supreme court temporarily blocked the deal that would protect members of the sackler family from more opioid-related lawsuits. purdue pharma made oxycontin and a lot of money for the sackler

family. the drug brought in an estimated $35 billion for the company. using aggressive marketing tactics millions of americans became addicted to the opioid. cheryl lost her two sons corey and sean. >> i've lost my children. i've lost both my children. that's a life sentence in itself. >> reporter: such death led led to an avalanche of the company and its owners. purdue pharma filed for bankruptcy in 2019. under the terms of the bankruptcy settlement members of the sackler family would be shielded from future lawsuits in exchange for $6 billion that could be used to settle opioid-related claims. but the justice department says the sacklers should not be able to use legal protections designed for debtors in legal distress. the solicitor general warning, it would leave in place a roadmap for wealthy corporations

and individuals to misuse the bankruptcy system. >> what is the issue the supreme court wants to look at? >> the supreme court wants to look at whether people who don't file for bankruptcy like the sam letters that have some connection to a bankruptcy should get the benefit of a release. the bankruptcy court has done that here for the sacklers and the supreme court is deciding whether that violates the law. >> reporter: but for many of the families involved, there is a human toll to further delay. >> i know hundreds of families who have lost. hundreds. and they just want it over. >> purdue pharma says it is confident in the legality of the plan and it is optimistic the supreme court will uphold the current agreement. the court will hear oral arguments in the case in december and it could issue a ruling next year. now back to you. be prepared. new crackdowns on password sharing could be coming to your favorite streaming services. at the same time two more platforms are hiking

subscription fees. nbc's stephanie gosk tells us for customers it is all adding up to a lot of streaming stress. >> reporter: it looks like password sharing crackdowns on some of your favorite streaming services are here to stay. disney plus set to follow in the footsteps of netflix which saw a boost in subscribers after launching its ban. other streaming services appear ready to do the same. i want to spend the weekend binge watching your favorite shows? if you are sharing a password, get ready for a crackdown. disney which operates disney plus, hulu and espn plus announcing it's exploring ways to monitor password sharing. >> just sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it. >> reporter: this comes months after netflix pressed pause on sharing accounts. >> disney plus and hulu are already two of the most popular streaming services right after netflix. consumers clearly love the content there and that may play into disney's plan here. >> netflix is tripping if they

think i'm about to add a member. >> reporter: despite backlash. >> this is horrible. >> reporter: business is booming. netflix added 6 million subscribers in the quarter after the crack u.n. do. 60% of viewers have at least four streaming services and an average household pays $54 for subscriptions monthly. now, disney plus and hulu are scheduled to hike up their prices starting october 12th. the stand-alone ad-free version of disney plus expected to go up $3 to $13.99 a month. and hulu without ads will increase by $3 a month to $17.99 a month. with password sharing and price hikes experts say it's only a matter of time before more streaming services join in. >> if everyone is doing it it's hard to ignore it and eventually people will have to decide whether or not it's worth paying for the streaming service that they're watching. >> reporter: if you are looking to save money on your streaming subscriptions, trackers like rocket money can help you see

everything you've signed up for in one place and cancel the ones you don't use as much. if you can handle commercials, you can always consider switching to ad-supported plans to trim your bill. back to you. >> can be expensive. >> here is the problem, i mean, we have three and we don't even begin to watch what's available on those three. we don't have time. >> this is true. yeah. you would have to be a full-time commitment to watch all the shows available across the board. >> i don't know what people do all day. >> some of us like me should cancel some of them and we forget to do it and now we will have to reset later. one of the nation's biggest cities gives the green light to driverless okay, again, this is a status bar. this is a search bar. let's know the difference, okay? social mediaia, it can be e overwhelmiming for a yoyoung homeowownr turning g into theirir pa. what does s it mean to s slide into o someone's s? -mm. -it sosounds like e a lot of . okay, wewe're not reready for. as a team,m, we'll getet . okay, wewe're not reready for.

tired but, you know, i won the i heart radio contest from 93.7fm. thank you very much, you guys, rock station in sacramento. >> great. >> so see some kendrick tonight. >> reporter: is that who you are looking forward to seeing. >> kendrick, baby. that's who we are here for. >> reporter: this is what the set up looked like from up above. the iconic windmill was in place. the different stages and areas are getting set up. the main attraction at the festival, of course, is the music, and this year, this 15th anniversary has some heavy hitters. kendrick lamar is the headliner for today. the foo fighters for tomorrow night, and odesa closing things out sunday night. some other artists to watch out for, lana delray, megan thee stallion, and the 1975. now, there is a lot of information about the festival up on the website or you can see that information as well on the app. find that information there. but i want to briefly touch on the bag policy at outside lands. backpacks and bags made of clear

plastic are allowed. small bags with specific measurements are allowed and do not have to be clear, but you want to make sure that you are within those specific measurements. empty hydration packs with specific capacities are allowed as well. make sure that you check online or the app to make sure you are abiding by those rules. now, in recent years there was heavy focus on pandemic restrictions. those are no longer in place, but health experts were categorizing a covid swell taking place in san francisco a couple of weeks ago. so if you are someone who needs to take precaution, ucf infectious disease expert dr. peter chin hong has said continue to live your life but not a bad idea to carry the mask around. we are starting to see more and more people arrive here at the vip entrance for outside lands, and you can see very important those clear backpacks, those clear bags. you want to make sure that you

take that so that you don't run into any more road blocks. >> good information, ginger. thank you. we have the final report from the ntsb on a frightening incident on a plane headed from hawaii to san francisco that nearly crashed into the pacific last december. that final report says miscommunication between pilots is to blame. federal investigators say after a normal takeoff during heavy rain to reset the wing flats. it dropped more than 1500 feet towards the ocean. the pilots were able to recover and we talked to someone on board the flight. >> we are all looking at each other, looking at the window, grabbing on to the seat, grabbing the hand of the person next to you, praying under our breath. again, maybe a scream here and there. >> thankfully no one was hurt. both pilots received additional training after the incident. they continue to fly for united

airlines. well, clear skies and straightforward summer weather throughout the bay area. meteorologist kari hall lays it out in the forecast. >> we are starting out feeling humid around the bay area as we get a surge of monsoon moisture. once it clears out it is going to be warming up once again, and we are looking at our south bay temperatures reaching into the mid to upper 80s. then for the east bay expect pleasanton to hit 86 degree it while we will be in the mid 70s for hayward. a breezy wind throughout the afternoon and a lot of low clouds and fog near the coast keeping the temperatures in low 60s for half moon bay. where we get more sunshine it will be in the low 70s and 80s for the peninsula. san francisco staying mostly cloudy throughout the morning and 60s in the forecast while the north bay will see temperatures up to 82 in sonoma and 93 in ukiah. we will talk about hotter temperatures in our seven-day forecast that's coming up in 30 minutes. >> well, this video comes to us from a whale watching boat in monterey bay that happened to catch the sight of something

resumed today with the trade association representing the studios. the two sides last met informally back on august 4th, but were unable to reach an agreement to resume bargaining until now it's the 102nd day now the television and movie writers have been on strike. illinois supreme court has voted to uphold the state's ban on assault weapons in a 4-3 decision. the law was passed in early january and signed into law by j.b. pritzger but the state supreme court was tasked with reviewing the ban it was ruled unconstitutional by two local judges. it prohibits dozens of types of rifles and handguns and adds limits to the number of rounds they can accommodate. earlier today russia launched its first mission to the moon in nearly 50 years. the rocket is carrying a lunar landing craft, a robot that will attempt to land on the south pole of the moon. it's the same place nasa is targeting. no country has landed on that side of the moon before. russia is hoping its lander will arrive ahead of the indian

spacecraft currently attempting the same feat. there is water on the south pole, that's why they're going there. okay. sounds like something from the future, you call a taxi and when it pulls up to pick you up, no one is actually behind the wheel. that idea is already a reality for people living in san francisco, but now they are about to see a lot more of these, quote, unquote, robo taxis. that's because of regulators just gave the green light to expand the service in the city. nbc's erin mclaughlin joins us with more. this concept it's not necessarily new for people in the bay area, right? they've been seeing these driverless taxis for a while. but this vote does mean there will be some big changes, right? what's going to be different here? >> reporter: yeah, that's right, ellison. you will and to this point the tech was being tested, which i actually saw firsthand last time i was in san francisco in the early hours of the morning, i was on my way to a live shot, stopped at a stoplight, the car next to me had no one inside.

it was jarring to say the least but that is about to become the nompl there in san francisco now that this california regulatory body approved in a vote 3-1 that two comes wamo and cruz be allowed to roll out the tech on a 24/7 paid basis, meaning that anyone could hire one of these cars there in san francisco going forward. >> erin, when a lot of people hear this they think, oh, my goodness, this, this and this could happen. how do people there feel living about this? what are some of the safety concerns? >> reporter: well, you know, it was interesting. this is controversial and the buildup to that regulatory body vote there was this huge debate that unfolded, it lasted seven hours, more than 200 members of the community signed up to have their say. the biggest voices against this tech being rolled out, first responders. san francisco's fire chief spoke out during this hearing saying that there were 55 incidences

during the testing phase in which this tech interfered with emergency responses. other residents upset that san francisco is sort of the first in the country to roll this out, a testing ground, if you will. but then you have those voices that are in favor of this technology, those that say that san francisco should be at the forefront of this tech. those that see possibilities for passengers with disabilities, those that see this as a potential tourist attraction as well. at the end of the day the body really siding with those pro-robo taxi voices, opening the door to these two companies that have invested billions in this technology to roll out this potentially not only to san francisco but opening the door for other cities as well. >> interesting stuff. erin, thank you. we have more breaking news. a federal judge has just issued a protective order over some evidence in the pending trial that involves former president donald trump.

now, the case stems from his alleged actions after the 2020 presidential election. the special counsel on the case raised concerns that mr. trump might release information that could jep lies jury selection. attorneys for mr. trump, however, argued the order would restrict the former president's right to free speech. the judge said that right is, quote, no the absolute. trump faces four felonies related to the case, he has pleaded not guilty to you will aft charges and that man right there, tom winter is on the story for us, investigative correspondent for nbc. top, the protective order just released, what are the terms now? >> i'm going to read it off to you. basically all personal identifying information, so somebody's social security numbers in there, personal telephone number, date of birth, that's all going to have to be redacted. what's called rule 6 material, basically anything that's been before a grand jury, including witness testimony before a grand jury, exhibits, any sort of subpoenas, they're going to make it sensitive materials obtained through sealed search warrants.

if they've searched a location and that search warrant is still under seal that's material that they can't release publicly or talk about publicly. a sealed order by the government's filter team, that's information that they were able to get or the fact that they were searching attorneys' information, so for former president trump's legal attorneys they would have a filter team overseeing that to make sure that information tied to their other clients wasn't divulged or any soern of privileged attorney/client communications. recordings, transcripts, interview reports and related exhibits of witness interviews, so basically anything the witnesses said to them and then materials obtained from other nongovernmental entities. i believe, tom, there is a couple of documents that may be relevant to this case that came from the office of the director of national intelligence, perhaps some other intelligence community members and those are protected as well. that's very standard. so, yes, it's much more narrow perhaps than what prosecutors

were asking for, but it's still pretty wide and covers an awful lot with respect to what the former president and his legal team can release publicly. it's going to restrict them. >> tom winter, thank you, sir. with hunter biden now subject to a special inquiry, a special counsel inquiry, president biden is preparing to cooperate with a special counsel of his own. that investigation involves president biden's handling of classified documents after his term as vice president. according to an exclusive nbc news report, lawyers for the president are negotiating the terms as well as the scope of a potential interview. when the special counsel was announced back in january president biden pledged to cooperate fully and completely with the justice department review. joining us now is nbc news white house correspondent monica alba. break this down for us. what are we learning? >> reporter: this has been a pretty quiet investigation so far, ellison, and one of the reasons is because they are now nearing what would be a crucial phase, which is the interview with the person at the center of

the investigation, president biden. and looking into his handling of classified information that was discovered at a personal office in washington late last years and then at his private home in wilmington, delaware, earlier this year. we now understand that lawyers for the president have been in talks for about a month or so with special counsel robert hur's team about what an interview could look like, where it would take place if it is in-person, when it could happen and then the spoke of it, which the biden team really had some questions and concerns about. they want to know if this is going to be limited to some material that did relate to his time in the obama administration as vice president or if it's going to span his decades of public service including some of his team as a senator. so there are questions there, they still have to iron out. no agreement has been reached but the president does intend to comply completely with this and has said really that he believes this was aides to maybe packed things incorrectly and that there was never any intention to mishandle classified information, ellison.

>> monica, when a lot of people heard the word classified documents and then special counsel they immediately think of former president donald trump. explain to us the differences between that case involving the former president and this one involving now president biden. >> reporter: sure. and there are really key and important differences here. the current president is facing something that really spans what we think are in the dozens of documents that we don't have a total number, again, that were recovered from those two locations i mentioned previously and one of them was marked top secret we understand and they wereand over to the national park kifs as soon as they were discovered. president trump refused to give back documents to the federal government and has been charged with 37 criminal counts as it relates to this and has been accused of trying to destroy some ses writ footage from mar-a-lago as it relates to this. of course, again, because he's been indicted on that, very different situation, that is special counsel jack smith that

is handling that matter, whereas special counsel robert hur is the one handling the biden matter. we are not quite sure when that one is going to wrap up but the biden team and the white house have wanted to make a point much just how different these two situations are. important context. >> thank you. today is the 50th anniversary of a party in the bronx widely considered to mark the birth of hip hop. to celebrate that milestone nbc news reporter maya seeing land paid a visit to a show where some of the biggest rap stars in the world are making viral hits. maya, hi. >> hey, tom. on the radar radio has been a platform for hip hop lovers to discover rising talents for five years. it's growing success has also attracted some of the biggest names. >> reporter: on a gravity-filled street in brooklyn on the radar

tempers. >> experts say being angry can feel overwhelming and spark tough emotions but they say the best thing you can do is to allow yourself to feel it, go through it. joining us now is clinical and family psychologist dr. jen hartstein. thank you for being with us. let's start with why it is so important for us to actually feel our anger. what is the mental and physical impact of suppressing those kinds of emotions? >> happy friday to you both. it's such an important question. we don't stop and think about the impact of not expressing our emotions. so there are some really strong physical connections if we are holding our anger in and things like our blood pressure can increase, we might develop ulcers, we might have an increased heart rate because we are excited or, you know, we don't sleep at night because we are thinking about all of these things or our heads hurt or our body gets tense, all of that can have a negative impact on the long term over our bodies and mentally we know that if we aren't taking care of the anger

with he might be more angry and we get stuck or we get anxious about what to do or because we feel helpless we get depressed and wheel overwhelmed and shut down. there is a secondary issue if we don't deal with the anger as it happens. >> my mother was the mother of four boys. she would have loved it if we could contain our anger from time to time. this is seen as a negative emotion but can be useful as well. talk to us about what our anger might actually be conveying or why it's part of good mental health if it's channeled in the right way. >> for sure. i think that's your mom might have wanted you guys to channel it differently, tom. i think the key is that the healthy way to express it is often the hardest and the reason anger is good is it gives us emotion signal information. it gives us information about something that has gone wrong or a way that we maybe have been wronged or a boundary that has been crossed or something that

has happened and now we have this information, we have to figure out what to do with that information, which is often the hardest part, but anger is valid, a valid emotion for all of us, with he just need to express it in a way that gets our point across without making it worse. >> how do we control our anger but not let it control us? >> such a hard thing because it is one of the emotions i think that we all universally understand, but we don't always know what to do with. first thing we have to do is put yourself on a time-out. we put kids on a time-out because we want them to calm down. if i take a time-out i have a moment to feel my anger and experience it and maybe in doing that i scream into a pillow, bang a pillow, just sit down and take some deep breaths, whatever it is, but then i'm experiencing it which brings it down. then i'm going to identify what's going to work to make me calm down. maybe i have to do 50 jumping jacks or take a shold shower or go for a walk or breathe but everybody will have something that works differently for them. lastly i want to figure out whathe cau and what can i

do about it? the f thing is take a minute, press pause. >> what about this idea that you are not supposed to go to bed angry? what's your professional advice on that? >> i don't think you want to go to bed disregulated regardless of the emotions. you don't want to go to bed anxious, either. those are two major emotions that keep your mind working. whatever you can do to mindfully bring yourself into some sort of regulation is key. you are not going to solve every problem at 11:00 at night, it's impossible. can you do -- can you put it on a shelf and come back to it tomorrow. >> good advice, dr. jen, thank you very much. we will keep it in mind. there is more news ahead. >> you are watching "nbc news dailily." i told mysyself i was s ok with m my moderatete to sevevere rheumamatoid ararthritis sysymptoms. wiwith my psororiatic arthritis s symptoms.. bubut just ok k isn't ok.. anand i was dodone settlini. ifif you stillll have sympmps after a tntnf blockerr like h humira or e enbrel,
