belvoir, virginia. and just a few minutes ago, we got the first images you just showed. that incredible reunion. hugging family members carrying small american flags. you see those incredible embraces. it is a bit chilly here in virginia this morning but that was quickly forgotten. just look at those warm embraces. just such an emotional moment. this was the morning these families had been waiting for. >> reporter: overnight, five americans locked up for years in iran, finally touching down on u.s. soil. stepping off their plane here at fort belvoir army base in virginia, embracing relatives after a harrowing journey. >> i just can't believe it. >> prisoner namazi's brother speaking after their reunion. >> we have been apart for eight years and finally we're together. and it's just completely unbelievable. >> reporter: the prisoners first boarded a charter plane in teheran, then hours later, landed in doha. some of them seen smiling.

>> we will decide republic of iran, will decide to send it wherever we need it. >> reporter: republicans arguing the money was essentially a ransom. now the biden administration is stressing that these are not u.s. taxpayer funds. and that they will be strictly monitored. that they were iranian funds to begin with. the white house is also slapping new sanctions on iran over the presumed death of a former fbi agent in iranian custody years ago. still, for the administration and for those family members, the focus this morning is on those five prisoners who are back home on u.s. soil. it was an incredible moment and the next step is for them to undergo medical and psychological checks before heading home for their families. but again, those five prisoners are now here in the u.s. after years of tense negotiations. >> yeah.

glad they're home safe. gabe gutierrez in fort belvoir. thank you. que delivering a high-profile speech at the u.n. where world leaders are confronting russia's war and climate change. peter alexander is here in new york as well as drafling with the president. what do you expect the focus to be this morning? >> nice to see you both in person. the president certainly will be outlining these global challenges and how he plans to tackle them. right now there are certainly a lot of those challenges. first and foremost, of course, is ukraine, that war now in its 19th month. that's not the only one. you've got food insecurity, food prices have spiked worldwide, largely as a function of this war. record temperatures and climate change. but in many ways for the president, his aides say this is an opportunity to speak to the world and speak to the developing nations the u.s. is trying to influence right now. notably absent this year, president xi of china, president vladimir putin of russia as well, but who will be there is president volodymyr zelenskyy. this is the first time that he's

going to be appearing in person before the united nations general assembly. he'll be making the case to the world community that ukraine on the front lines of the fight for democracy needs more funding from the west, more funding from the united states. then he heads down to washington, d.c. on thursday, where he is going to meet with president biden at the white house, making the case to the president and to congress for more money. and it's important because a lot of republicans are skeptical of sending more money to ukraine. majority of americans interest has waned in this war and majority of americans oppose sending more fun to ukraine. >> we have a tough sell with the u.s. congress and u.n., all this funding going to ukraine means we're not getting the funding we need for our issue. >> yeah, you're right. >> let's talk about president biden. he is obviously running for re-election and with a fundraiser, i believe, had some revealing comments actually last night. >> yeah, that's right. he was here in new york city ahead of his remarks, speech to take place today.

and what has been one of the political liabilities, of course, for this president is his age. he'll be 81 years old in just two months. but last night he said he is more optimistic about the future of this country than he has been in the 800 years that he has served. that got some laughs. a little self deprecation to try to deal with what has been a political challenge for him. but he also had some of the sharpest language since that nbc news exclusive with kristen welker where she spoke to former president donald trump saying among other things that trump and his allies are likely to side with dictators like vladimir putin. then he said the following, donald trump and his maga republicans are determined to destroy democracy. those are the terms that the president sees the 2024 fight in. expect to hear that language again. >> peter, we'll see you this week. thank you so much. a programming note, tomorrow on "today" we'll sit down with secretary of state antony blinken when he joins us right here in studio 1a. the surge fr one of the most sophisticated aircraft in the u.s. military is over.

but the questions are just beginning. it all began on sunday when a pilot safely ejected from an f-35 over south carolina but the self jet kept flying on auto pilot until it eventually crashed. nbc's sam brock is in williamsburg, south carolina, where the plane kwebt down. hey, sam, good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning. the sun is still coming up here in indiantown but the situation is still shrouded in darkness. behind me is a military barricade you can see. it's not clear, hoda, exactly how far beyond this point the debris field actually sits, but what we do know this aircraft did not land in one of the several area lakes that many expect to land in. now the investigation ramping up into how the military lost a $100 million fighter jet for 24 hours. a high-level mystery this morning. a $100 million f-35 fighter jet missing for a day, eventually

found last night where it crashed in this rural area according to the military. one resident thinks he heard it go down. >> i heard a plane coming across. i said, that plane is mighty low. and i heard boom. >> reporter: others like vanessa presley trying to get a read on how this search went off the radar? >> are people talking about how strange it is that a fighter jet disappeared for 24 hours? >> yes, yes. especially one that costs that much money, yeah. that's not something that happens everyday. >> reporter: the stealth aircraft went missing after the pilot and only person on board was forced to eject on sunday. the military base making a plea to the public. if you have any information that may help our recovery teams locate the f-35, please call the base defense operation center. but how details of this mishap were communicated, not sitting well with area congresswoman nancy mace. >> frustrated would be an understatement right now because our community deserves basic minimum answers. >> reporter: so far neither

joint base charleston, nor the second marine aircraft wing where the jet is part of the training squadron are commenting on what might have caused the unexplained series of events. the faa is also not responding to our request for comment but is working with the military, local and state law enforcement and civil air patrol. in the wake of this incident and two deadly crashes involving marine corps aircraft in the last month, the acting congressmen dant ordering a safety stand down of all marine corps aircraft for two days this week. nbc news analyst jeff gazettety says there's one crucial resource for getting some answers. >> we have a living pilot a living witness to tell us what happened. and i'm sure he's already told their story to the investigative teams. it's our most advanced jet in this country. and we need to find out what went wrong. >> this is so puzzling, sam. i mean, you're talking about $100 million jet with all the bells and whistles obviously but was there no way, no tracking system within it? >> reporter: yeah, so hoda, here

is the issue under normal circumstances investigators would be looking at the transponder on the aircraft to locate it. but the spokesperson says that transponder was not working, quote, for reasons we have not determined so it was pilot ejected did not work the entire time we have no idea. but our aviation analyst says it's entirely possible the military has some idea of where this jet trail did crash but put out that call for information because of errant debris or try to piece together information from the public as to what might have happened here hoda >> lots to unpack. sam, thank you so much. now to the unprecedented strike by united autoworkers against all three of detroit's biggest car makers it's entering day five after negotiations have failed to produce a deal so far and now the union is threatening to expand the walk-out if significant progress cannot be reached. maggie vespa joins us from wayne, michigan.

where do negotiations stand? >> reporter: yeah. savannah, the stalemate continues after revived talks as you know stalled between both sides. more workers may be joining the strike, the picket line, right now is on day five the uaw overnight ramping up pressure with president, union president, shawn fain, saying in a new video unless there's, quote, serious progress by noon friday, more local chapters will be called to walk out. adding, quote, we're not messing around and this morning, ford is also responding to that video saying they're working on contingency plans in the event of more walk-outs to basically keep ford cars on the road and it's also worth noting you might have seen headlines overnight, autoworkers at ford's canadian plants nearly also went on strike, but that was actually temporarily averted after the union said they received, quote, a substantive offer before that deadline but that's something else that we're watching this morning, savannah. >> and if this drags on, maggie,

consumers will start to feel it. >> reporter: yeah. so savannah, say this could take several weeks before the american public really starts to feel the effects of this strike. they're making plans to keep the cars on the road, try to mitigate a lot of those impacts. it's worth noting again, if it expands, uaw president warning again that could happen, those affects could start to be felt much sooner. experts predicting car prices could very well go up. parts could be harder to find for a lot of people. and then to quantify a lot of this, we're getting an idea of the estimated cost of this strike goldman sachs estimating that both gm and ford could lose basically each lose between 100 and $125 million per week, assuming this continues. savannah. >> maggie vespa, thank you. meantime, we're learning more this morning about the suspect arrested in the ambush-style killing of a los angeles county sheriff's deputy. the 29-year-old taken into custody following a standoff nbc's danny griffin is following

that story for us. hey, good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning. some 36 hours after the murderad on surveillance cameras was found outside the suspect's home and information from the public of deputy ryan clinkunboomer authorities were able to make an arrest authorities say a vehicle was found outside the suspect's home and information from the public helped lead them there after an hour's long standoff, the l.a. county sheriff says s.w.a.t. team members took 29-year-old salazar into custody early monday morning sheriff robert luna praising deputies for deescalating the situation. >> he never gave our deputy a chance, but our men and women gave this individual a chance to take him into custody peacefully >> reporter: salazar had been living with his parents less than five miles from the palm dale sheriff's station his family says he suffered from schizophrenia and had been place on multiple 72-hour psychiatric holds.

>> when he had his episodes, we would call cops. cops came to the house they should have it on the file. that he was sick he was mentally ill. he heard voices. >> reporter: his mother and sister say they feel for the family of the slain deputy. >> i am so sorry for the family. i don't wish no pain, nothing. if i could just wake up and say it was all a dream for the family as well as for us, i wish i could do this. >> reporter: 30-year-old deputy ryan clinkunbroomer was shot and killed saturday as he pulled up to a red light in his patrol vehicle. surveillance video from the sheriffs own camera capturing the moment the suspect's vehicle stops next to the officer's, then takes off the deputy engaged to be married just days ago, leaves behind a grieving family and a department mourning his loss. >> ryan's family will never see him again. >> reporter: authorities have not suggested a motive is there anything about him or you discovered as to why this happened >> that's the million dollar

question everybody wants to know why would somebody do something this horrible and we intend to find out. >> reporter: the sheriff says a number of firearms were found at the suspect's house, but did not elaborate on the weapon used to kill deputy clinkunbroomer when i spoke with the suspect's family, they weren't able to say how he was able to get access to a gun. that's going to be the focus of the investigation going forward. hoda >> dana, thank you so much for that report. let's talk about football, shall we >> let's do it. >> not one, but two "monday night football" games. we'll start in pittsburgh and cleveland, a dominating performance by the steelers' defense. take a look. >> showing blitz here he comes. pressure, ball out picked up! touchdown steelers >> how about that? tj watt with a fumble return, got the touchdown. steelers go on to win it 26-22. >> but there is more turning to the saints and the

a homecoming this morning that was years in the making as five americans held captive in iran come back to the united states. but the deal that freed them is causing controversy for president biden. nbc senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez is at fort belvoir in virginia with the latest. hey, gabe. good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning. those five prisoners touching down here in virginia just a short time ago. and we're getting new video of the emotional reunion on the tarmac. their family members embracing them and carrying small american flags. as you mentioned, these tense negotiations have been underway for years. this is the moment these family members had been waiting for. still, this prisoner swap is controversial. the u.s. and iran exchanging five prisoners, but the u.s. also unlocking $6 billion in iranian funds to be used for humanitarian assistance. things like food and medicine. the white house insists any transactions will be strictly

monitored. but republicans are arguing that this essentially amounts to a ransom payment. and it will encourage more bad behavior on the part of iran. still, for those family members, the focus is on their loved ones today. finally back here on u.s. soil after years of tense negotiations. hoda? >> it's a long wait. all right. gabe gutierrez for us. in fort belvoir, gabe, thanks. there is new help on the way for americans with americans who have severe allergic reactions. the fda is about to approve a new form of treatment, and it is needle free. it is a nasal spray called neffy. it's an alternative to epi-pen. dr. natalie azar is here with more. dr. natalie, good morning. >> good morning. >> this is a big deal because a lot of kids don't like those shots. some people are afraid to administer the shot. is it the same medicine? it's just the way it's being delivered. >> yeah, it is. it is basically the equivalent of what you would get in an

epi-pen fwhu a nasal spray version. this is important. think about the scope of this, guys. there are over 200,000 anaphylactic reactions every single year in this country. one of the things that people cite a lot is they're not sure how to use the epi pen. they're afraid of the needle, that kind of thing. so what is this? it's, again, the same medicine but in a nasal spray. it is needle free. it's easy to carry and it's easy to use. we think that will facilitate people actually making use of it. >> it will be good for kids. i was wondering in a setting where you absolutely need the epi-pen, sometimes kids might be flailing around. is that nasal spray effective and easy to use as it is just to give your kid a quick shot? >> it absolutely is. one of the things that the fda wanted to see was that it was absolutely equivalent to what's already on the market. right? you can't approve something that they can't definitely say is as at least as effective or more effective. right now the approval would be for adults and children 66 pounds or older. so it is not for the youngest children. but in terms of ease of

administration, it is like narcan nasal spray. it's essentially you just stick it in the nostril, just like you would nasal saline. yes, getting a small child, you know to be able to sit still for that might be a little challenging, but not approved for that age yet. but a lot of parents say they were concerned about using the needle on their child. and a lot of kids, of course, are needle phobic, too. this is excellent news and timing is essential in these allergic reactions. the sooner you can get it into them, the better. >> thank you very much. company warned yesterday that a cyberattack last month is still causing wide scale production delays and hurting its bottom line. as a result, it cannot say when store shelves will be fully restock products that includes clorox bleach, bleach wipes and pine sol cleaner color red sox said the breach forced it to take automated systems offline and revert to manual operations. it believes the damage has been contained and will start bringing systems back up to speed next week.

senators from south carolina. each who took a stand to protect individual rights when the state considered a ban -- a total abortion ban. >> this is a bipartisan group of senators, by the way. >> yes they represent all the female senators in the state senate they're from different political parties and they have different views on abortion. but they came together and they stuck together and it wasn't easy they faced personal and political attacks and intense opposition, but they stuck together to protect individual rights. >> one of the things the award always recognizes is people that take actions that might actually be against their own political incentives is that the case here? >> yes it came at great political risk for each of these senators some of whom are facing primary challenges this was not an easy issue for them to take on but they thought it was important enough to fight. >> ambassador kennedy, you have an international recipient to tell us about, two, actually >> right, right. this year we're giving an award to president yen of south korea and the prime minister kishida

of japan they both put their difficult, historical issues aside to pursue closer relationships between their two countries. democracies, economic power houses and neighbors and close allies of the united states. and they -- the relationship had been at a low point. and president yoon went out of his way right after his election, faced political opposition at home prime minister kishida the same, met him more than halfway. together they forged a new relationship and it's in their country's interest and in the u.s. interest as well >> for people that aren't as familiar with the history there, i read one analysis that said this coming together was a minor miracle. >> absolutely. people here don't understand how difficult the relationships can be they're over many, many years, so it is incredibly courageous i saw this firsthand when i was in japan how difficult and complicated some of these issues

are. they deserve tremendous amounts of credit and they're facing opposite at home, but they did the right thing for their countries. that's what the award is always about. >> we're delighted to have you here it's our tradition here. obviously, your profile in courage is for your father and what he did in the war and you guys recently recreated the three mile swim he took for his life, saving his crew mates, sort of recreated the solomon islands. we talked to you when you were soaking wet. here you are take us inside this moment and what it meant to you. >> it was incredible it is so beautiful there but i think we were both overwhelmed by the scale and the immensity and courage it took for all these young men serving so far away from home 80 years ago, and this was a miraculous rescue people in that community were so welcoming and proud of the history that our countries share. it meant a lot to us >> it was astonishing.

so it is a place where you can go and decompress. you know, a lot of students have never had a therapist. it is a place where you can speak openly about mental wellness because in our community, you know, we don't really talk about it it is taboo. so we wanted a safe space for students to come and be able to talk about what might be bothering them. >> well, you know firsthand how difficult mental health issues can be. >> yeah. >> and i think -- i was reading this let me find the page it was a 2020 episode of your facebook watch series "peace of mind" with taraji. you thought about taking your own life during the pandemic you said this. i had a dark moment. i was in a dark place. for a couple of days i couldn't get out of bed, and i didn't care that's not me. then i started having thoughts about ending it. it happened two nights in a row. i purchased a gun not too long ago. it's in a safe well, if i could just go right there and end it all because i want it to be over

but then something happened. and you went alone, away for a month and kind of found yourself again. how did you get out of that dark place? >> well, because i have a therapist. you know it is not taboo for me i speak openly about it, right and i knew for me, getting it out of my head, like saying it, this is how i feel would help. but when you don't talk about it, it then becomes a plan you know so i knew that i had tools, and i started speaking about it. and then my friends were like, they got really concerned. so we found a place for me to go and volley for me to regroup and gather myself. and the thing about mental wellness is knowing when it's enough knowing when to say no knowing when you have reached your -- your limit. >> yeah. >> and i think people are so afraid to say that because we are in a grind you know, it is all about grinding and pushing through and you can't push through

in their students' mental wellness because once we -- once we erect the pod, now you have to make sure it sustains so, yeah, we're really particular about which universities we're going after. >> taraji, are you hopeful because i feel like this is an option for you to do this or not do this? >> oh, yeah. >> do you feel hopeful >> very hopeful. i get people in my dms all the time saying how the foundation has changed their life, saved their life i really feel like i'm doing what god put me on this earth to do it is something really freeing when you find your life's purpose. i thought it was through acting. acting is what brought me here, you know i just want to help people i don't think people should suffer in silence or suffer alone. we all have our cross to bear. everyone has something that they're carrying, that they have to get through and you're not alone. >> what i love is just a few
