we have it all covered. we'll start with nbc's tom costello. he's at a kaiser facility in d.c. hey, tom. good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you. so both kaiser and the unions say they have been involved in these long negotiations, six months already. they still haven't come to an agreement. they both admit they are still not at pre-pandemic staffing. they admit the staff is burned out right now, overworked. the union says they're underpaid. so as this goes down right now, many kaiser families find that they simply cannot get certain procedures done, elective procedures. >> reporter: this morning, a big union is turning up the heat on kaiser permanente, the country's largest not for profit healthcare provider. tens of thousands of workers walking off the job for three days as contract talks stall. from virginia -- >> these people got into healthcare because they wanted to take care of patients. and they're just stretched too thin. >> reporter: to denver -- >> everybody is getting depressed. everybody is quitting because

they can't handle it. you know, it's a lot of work. >> reporter: to sacramento. >> we are here because they have been dealing with a short staffing crisis caused by kaiser executives for months, if not years. >> reporter: on strike, pharmacists, optometrists, vocational nurses, x-ray and lab technicians demanding more pay to offset inflation and more staff. they say kaiser patients, 13 million of them, can sometimes wait months for a primary care appointment and hours waiting in an e.r. >> people are just plain worn out. covid was a nightmare for three years ago. and we're still not done. >> reporter: most doctors and rns are not on strike. >> we're committed to addressing the staffing crisis. but we're equally committed to addressing affordability crisis. that's the issue that's at the table. >> reporter: kaiser says hospitals and e.r.s will remain open during the strike, but some elective procedures may be postponed. >> just heart breaking to get the news yesterday that it's

been cancelled. when it was already rescheduled once. >> tiffany young's 17 month old son caden was supposed to have tubes placed in his ears today to relieve chronic ear infections and severe pain. now that's been postponed until december. >> he's just in pain. and it's just horrible to see him. i know it's a minor surgery, but to a parent and seeing your baby hit his ears and crying, you know, it's heart breaking. >> you want this whole thing to get resolved. so this is a three-day strike, tom. any chance we may see another wave of walkouts if they don't get to a deal soon? >> reporter: i think so. i mean, listen, the union is saying that this three-day strike is really a demonstration of strength to show kaiser that the union is, in fact, united. and they say, if they don't reach an agreement by some time in november, they could call a longer strike, potentially ten days that would really have an affect as well on patients and staff and the hospitals. >> yeah. all right, tom costello for us

in d.c. tom, thank you. we move now to the big question on capitol hill. who will be the next house speaker? after this week's historic vote to oust kevin mccarthy. well, this morning there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding that answer. nbc's garrett haake is our senior capitol hill correspondent. he's on it. garrett, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning. we know we won't see a new speaker seated until at least the middle of next week. so far two candidates have publicly declared they're running for the job. setting up yet another battle within the republican party over who should lead them and the house going forward. this morning, congress frozen and fractured as a leaderless republican party searches for a new speaker. after an eight-member faction forced the removal of kevin mccarthy. >> the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is hereby declared vacant. >> reporter: now the gop majority scrambling to select his replacement. judiciary committee chairman jim jordan becoming the first

declared candidate. >> i feel like i can unite -- >> reporter: he'll face off against louisiana's steve scalise, currently the number two house republican who survived a gunshot wound in 2017 and is currently battling cancer. >> this is really important that we get this right. so we can get back to work. >> reporter: rank and file republicans still furious at the eight members who joined with all democrats to depose mccarthy. especially his chief antagonist, florida's matt gaetz. >> what happened yesterday is literally going to put the american government to a halt until we find a speaker. and that should never happen again at the hands of one lunatic. >> reporter: the eight defending their votes against a speaker they say neither party truly trusted. >> the problem is that he didn't have credibility on either side of the aisle. >> he would tell conservatives one thing, moderates another and democrats something else. that is not the way to lead our country today. >> reporter: no vote to select a speaker will be held until at least next wednesday with most lawmakers going home for the weekend. some floating unorthodox speaker

candidates, including former president trump, who rejected the idea. >> a lot of people have been calling me to be speaker. my total focus is being president. >> reporter: president biden telling reporters he's prepared to work whoever emerges from the chaos with the gavel. >> we have a lot of work to do and the american people expect us to get it done. >> reporter: now, among the critical work that needs to get done is funding the government, which is set to expire just before thanksgiving. the next speaker will be absolutely pivotal in those negotiations, which really can't even begin in earnest until he or she is formally elected. savannah? >> keep us posted, garrett. thank you. let's turn now to that dramatic reversal in the border battle overnight. so faced with a surge in illegal crossings, the biden administration has announced it is waiving more than two dozen federal laws to add on to the border wall in southern texas. nbc senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez has the latest. gabe, tell us what we know about this reversal. >> reporter: hi, hoda, good morning. this is a striking acknowledge

that changes are needed to stem the migrant influx at the southern border. waiving 26 federal laws such as the clean air act and the safe water drinking act to allow border wall construction in star county, texas. this is a major reversal for president biden who during the 2020 campaign vowed that not another foot of wall would be constructed under his administration. the president also issued a proclamation in 2021 stating that building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution. it's a waste of money. that diverts attention from general threats to our homeland security. in a statement overnight, customs and border protection says funds for this project were appropriated by congress in 2019 and that dhs is required to use them for their appropriated purpose, hoda. >> gabe, this comes after increasing criticism for members of his own party. >> reporter: yeah, hoda. just days ago, governor j.b.

pritzker, a staunch ally, called the migrant influx untenable and calling out the federal government's lack of intervention and coordination at the border. the white house says it's provided $46 million in funding for migrants to illinois, but the governor's office told me that is not nearly enough. meanwhile, new york city officials have been sounding the alarm for the better part of a year and are now asking a court to suspend its right to shelter law, which requires migrants to have a place to stay. hoda? >> gabe gutierrez for us there at the white house. gabe, thank you. and mls soccer game near dallas was called off just minutes before kickoff last night after a severe storm blew through the area. this was the scene at toyota stadium in frisco, texas. players for the fc dallas and the colorado rapids were actually on the field for national anthem when intense wind and rain swept in. you can see the video shared on social media showing fans running for cover. at least two people suffered minor injuries. in the meantime, millions of americans are enjoying a summer-like heat wave in this

first week of october, well above average temperatures being felt from both coasts with a number of cities now shattering records which brings us to al and what we can expect today. >> hey, good morning, guys. and good morning to you. and here is that line of heavy showers and thunderstorms from little rock down to houston. now some areas may be picking up to an inch and a half of rain per hour as this system pushes to the east. that's also part of the system that's going to be bringing much cooler weather. but for today, it will be 81 in burlington, vermont. detroit 6 degrees above average, 73. 74 in chicago. charleston, 83 degrees. here comes that cold front. ahead of it tomorrow, you can still see temperatures a bit above normal, but they drop 12 degrees below normal in minneapolis. denver, a 10 degree below normal drop. 59 degrees and then you'll see into next week, by monday, boston is at 59. same in new york city. 64 in d.c. low to mid 50s in detroit, where as out west, we have 14 million people under heat advisories,

especially san diego, los angeles, l.a. will be the low 90s into the weekend. mid 09s in bakersfield. san francisco temperatures into the mid to upper 80s, guys. back to you. >> all right, al. thank you. we'll check back. lots more to get to as we say good morning to craig. good morning to you as well. a search is unfolding right here in new york after the fatal stabbing of a brooklyn man and beloved community activist. in fact, surveillance video captured the terrifying attack and according to police, that video has now led them to a potential suspect. nbc's stephanie gosk is following this for us. steph, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, craig. ryan carson was coming back from a wedding with his girlfriend when a random encounter with a man on the street turned deadly. carson, a dedicated public advocate, was stabbed three times, including once in the heart. we want to warn you, the video you're about to see is pretty difficult to watch. this morning, new york city police are searching for a killer, responsible for the

brutal stabbing of 32-year-old public advocate, ryan carson. new surveillance video obtained by wnbc in new york shows the deadly confrontation as it unfolded early monday morning. the suspect seen wearing a black hoodie, walking near carson and his girlfriend as they sat on a bus stop bench started kicking scooters parked on the sidewalk nearby. according to police, carson attempted to deescalate the situation, but the man in the hoodie threatened to kill him and pulled a knife. >> i'll kill you [ bleep ]. >> chill, chill, chill. >> appearing to run, carson stumbled. that's when police say the attacker stabbed him three times. >> as mr. carson laid dying on the sidewalk, the male with the knife kicks him in the chest, threatens to stab the woman companion. >> reporter: police say they have a person of interest in the murder. >> we have received several leads in regards to this case

and have developed a suspect. >> reporter: adding that prior to the stabbing the suspect was agitated with this woman who they believe is his girlfriend. according to police, she apologized to the couple after arriving to the scene. >> i'm so sorry. >> my name is ryan thorson carson. >> reporter: carson spent years working for the public good, fighting for issues from climate change to social justice. >> together we can end overdose deaths by bringing safe injection facilities to new york state. >> reporter: his colleagues describing him as a rising star. >> the world will be less well off because of his absence. >> reporter: now a community in mourning in the city where carson fought so hard to make a difference. >> he was killed by someone that he advocated for on these streets. >> the nypd left the impression they really made progress on this investigation. that video will be right at the center of it, but they're asking people with any information to come forward. guys, back to you. >> just a terrible story, steph, thank you. let's move now to the decision that impacts tens of

thousands of americans carrying student loans. the biden administration canceling an additional $9 billion in debt just days after repayments started up again for the first time in three years. nbc's vicky nguyen is here to explain all this. break it all down. so who does this impact, vick? >> good morning, hoda. the president made this announcement yesterday, 125,000 americans will see $9 billion in student loan debt relief. you might be wondering, where does this 9 billion suddenly come from? well the education department says, look, this is in the system. these are from fixes to a broken loan system. meaning some of these people may have already been paying for 20 years on time, due this relief and never knew they were. let's break down the number. 5 billion of the 9 billion will go to 53,000 workers or so these are public service workers. think firefighters who have ten years of service the next 2.8 billion goes to people who are already enrolled in income-driven repayment programs meaning you have a certain income, you have a certain

number of family members, your payment might be 0 already and then the final 1.2 billion goes to 22,000 people with permanent disabilities, think veterans and this comes right in time this may not have been a coincidence because those repayments started on sunday. >> uh-huh. >> we remember there was a supreme court case that struck down a larger forgiveness of student debt that the administration was trying to push through this is something totally separate from that so, repayments started i think it was on sunday >> yes. >> what's the word on the street how are people handling it what does the administration say? >> big picture in june, the supreme court said you don't have the authority to give people $20,000 back in student loans. so that's not going to happen. the reality is 45 million americans carry student debt in some form or fashion a total of $1.3 trillion in debt on average, people are carrying 20 to $25,000 each so repayment looks like a 200 to 300 payment per month that people are coming up with. nbc news talked to a lot of folks in this position saying with inflation, where do i get that money from.

is it my gas bill? is it my grocery bill? do i take on an extra job? so this plan yesterday certainly helps that 125,000 folks. >> what's next any chance there would be even more relief for some of these borrowers or is this the end of the road >> the president said this continues to be a priority for him. it's something big that he campaigned on. next week a bunch of state attorneys generals will be meeting along with borrowers and student loan servicers to try to come up with more plans. in june, president biden announced a 12-month onramp repayment program which is basically what it sounds like. giving grace to borrowers that if you are getting back into the flow of things, that you won't be at risk of default. that you won't see your credit scores affected. right now, you should also look into the save plan as well as the higher education act those are other avenues the administration is exploring. but look, this could face legal challenges none of this stuff happens overnight. we'll continue to watch it. >> thank you, vicky. >> thank you. back to al with the national map up what's shaking >> still warm in the northeast as we mentioned down into florida few showers there.

along this cold front we have strong storms stretching from the great lakes down into texas with heavy rain. plenty of sunshine out west. but that heat is on. we're going to get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds. thanks to autoship from chewy. i always loved that old man. what's it say about the summer house? yeah, the beach house. the summer residents goes to mr. marbles. plot twist. i'm sorry, what? doesn't make logistical sense? unbelievable. pets aren't just pets. they're more. you got a train set todd. save 35% off your first autoship order. at chewy. good thursday morning. i am meteorologist, kari hall. today we are under a heat advisory starting at 11:00 this morning as our high temperatures today reach into the mid and upper 90s. it's going to be dangerously hot for the middle of the day. much of the east bay also heating up with vallejo reaching

have announced price increases for nearly every premium plan and subscribers are seething >> i just opened my hulu and they're raising their prices to $17.99 a month >> what are we paying for? >> reporter: starting next week, ad-free tiers of hulu and disney plus will cost an extra $3 a month. while nbc universal owned peacock has already raised the price for both of its subscription plans by as much as $2 and netflix could be next "the wall street journal" reports according to people familiar with the matter, the streaming giant is looking into charging more for its ad-free service after the hollywood actor's strike ends. while netflix declined our request for comment, industry experts say the move to increase prices is no plot twist. >> these price hikes are really about taking these services that are losing a lot of money and trying to make them profitable and the fact that it coincides with the end of the strikes is

not a coincidence. >> reporter: with studios and streamers looking to end the more than 90-day-long actor's strike, experts say the new contracts with sag-aftra and the writer's union could cost hollywood hundreds of millions of dollars some customers feel they're having to foot the bill. >> my immediate reaction is anger. because it's like, how much more can you possibly ask from us >> reporter: these higher prices may just be the beginning. next year, more streamers are expected to crack down on password sharing during an earnings call, disney ceo bob iger said they'll address the issue in 2024. the company owns hulu, espn plus and disney plus. it comes after netflix says its shutdown on sharing helped it add nearly 6 million new subscribers. now with the actor's strike putting hollywood on hold, studios are hoping to keep revenue streaming. >> with these prices going up, how can people save? >> yeah. so they are subscription bundles

that are offered sometimes you can get through the streamers or internet or cell phone provider. just keep in mind, and this is important, that the price hikes are often with the premium tiers, so if it feels too costly, maybe you can down grade to one of the lower tiers. the other thing to look out for is shrinkflation, so the prices may be going up, but the as much ass but the viewing options may be the same or might be getting smaller so know what you're getting for what you're paying don't pay more for less. >> some streamers will let you if you have ads or something, it's cheaper >> exactly, a compromise you can make >> it's funny watching streaming become what cable was 25 years ago. exactly what it was. >> which was inevitable. right? >> where there's nothing on. okay, thank you. >> by the way, speaking of what to watch, there's a lot to pick from, but which shows from this century have been the very best so far we'll dive into a brand-new list in "popstart." but first, they did it again! the u.s. women with another dominant performance they won gold in the world

hey, tom, good morning >> reporter: hey, hoda, 75,000 kaiser permanente workers have walked off the job, and this is a list we have optometrists, we have pharmacists, x-ray technicians, lab technicians, some vocational nurses, some of the people who help keep, in fact, the e.r.s and the o.r.'s clean. not doctors, not rns kaiser says the hospitals and the e.r.s remain open. 13 million kaiser patients rely on kaiser. however, right now, because of the strike, many of them are finding that their elected procedures are, in fact, being postponed or delayed by a month or even longer the employees want more pay. they say that inflation is biting into their standard of living and their current paychecks, and they want more staff. both the union and kaiser admit that they simply don't have enough staff they're not back at pre-pandemic

staffing levels. they have a high burnout rate because of the stress, so they're asking for more staff, also asking for more pay that's the sticking point right now. this is a three-day strike really, a show of force on the part of the union. and the union says, if they don't achieve something with the company pretty quickly with kaiser, then in november, they could go on strike again that could be a much longer strike, and it all depends on whether they make any progress the company says, kaiser says they have made progress, they have made concessions, but they are still right now stuck on pay, as their biggest issue. guys, back to you. >> tom costello for us there in d.c. tom, thank the cdc says it is no longer distributing those covid-19 vaccination cards that became a symbol of the pandemic however, the agency recommends keeping your card or some other record of your vaccinations, in case you need it to help make future medical decisions the cdc does not keep vaccination records. you have to get those from your state health department. major pharmacy chains say you do not need your old card to get an

>> reporter: last night, the first lady's communications director said in a statement, the president and first lady care deeply about the safety of those who work at the white house and those who protect them every day. adding, commander is not presently on the white house campus, while next steps are evaluated. the statement came shortly after cnn, citing multiple sources, reported that commander has been involved in more biting incidents than previously acknowledged at the white house. nbc news has not confirmed that reporting. new this morning, a secret service official says the scope of biting incidents is unclear, telling nbc news, i don't know how thoroughly these are tracked. i had no visibility on the white house staff having issues. dog behavior expert, laura sharkie. >> most dogs that are biting in these situations are actually biting out of fear, even though they look ferocious and terrifying, they're usually afraid >> reporter: longtime white house grounds manager dale haney has cared for presidential pets

going back to the nixon years and is frequently seen with commander. the white house says haney disputed a published account that appeared to show he had been bitten. an official said haney told them, commander was being playful and there was no bite, no pressure of teeth on his skin, no mark, just some dog slobber. commander was a gift from the president's brother after another family pet, major biden, was re-homed to friends in delaware after biting incidents of his own commander's fate remains uncertain. officials tell me at this point, he has not been rehomed, he's just not here today. craig? >> all right well, good luck, commander kelly o., thank you. all right. powerball mania reaching a fever pitch this morning as the jackpot is once again on the rise that's because no matching tickets were sold. matching all six numbers in last night's drawing. so the new jackpot now an estimated 1.4 billion. that's the third largest power ball jackpot of all time get your tickets because the

♪ we are back with your health this morning, a road map for your hormones and how they impact every aspect of your well-being we have tips and tweaks to reduce hormonal symptoms after

every age. dr. batya is the author of the brand-new book called "the hormone shift. good to see you this morning. >> you too. >> i think when a lot of people think hormones, they think menopause. oh, that's for that crowd. but your hormones affect you at different stages in your life. >> they do and i think what people don't understand is that hormones are so powerful. they're impacting so many different aspects of our health from gut health to mental health and everything in between and this starts as early as 13, as early as puberty and when we're not paying attention to what's happening through these five major hormone shifts, we're really doing ourselves a disservice we know from 13 to 19, we assume it's puberty, we assume there needs to be hormone chaos. simply not true. there's a lot everyone can do to balance their hormones that moves you into your 20s, where everyone is busting it, working super hard and that only perpetuates the hormone imbalances and finally, as women hit their 30s, their early-to-mid-30s, they're starting families, usually, and that's when they

actually first start to think about this, what i'm saying, is a little late. i want you guys to start earlier when we're having this conversation >> i think often, you have things that are going on in your life, and you think to yourself, i didn't get sleep because i was worried about work or, my hair is feeling funky because i didn't eat enough broccoli you don't associate it initially with some kind of hormone imbalance. >> so many people think that they need to power through like, i'm having this random symptom, so i'm going to power through it everything from energy shifts, mood shifts, not sleeping through the night, changes in your weight in either direction, not being able to focus, these are things that are actually connected to hormones. and we don't want to dismiss them, we really want to get to the bottom of it >> let's pretend, you say, okay, it is a hormone shift. i'm 13, i'm 30, i'm 56, whatever >> 70. >> all of those shifts and you think, what can i do i thought this was just part of growing pains, basically >> here's the good news. when we take eastern medicine and western medicine and merge

it together, we have this expanded powerful tool box to really answer all of our needs and we move through that tool box until we get the answers that work for us it starts with simple things first, get your hormones checked, understand what's happening. >> you ask your doctor, can i get a hormone check? >> absolutely. and all women should be doing this, at least once a year get your hormones checked. then, where do i start next? let's start with food. really eliminating sugar, eliminating alcohol for older women. all of these things really impact hormones. moving on from there, increasing healthy fats so many people are fat-phobic. but we need fat to build hormones so olive oil, omega-3 fats, adding in fiber to help metabolize hormones really effectively. and sleep. we need to talk about sleep. ideally, we are sleeping between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., which is a very eastern medicine concept that helps to balance hormones and we should be doing it maybe five out of seven nights a week. if we're not doing that, we're signing up for a lot of hormone shifts and hormone imbalances

along the way. and i think the last one, which is also equally important, scheduling "me time," scheduling your joy, really finding what lights you up. all of that plays into this hormone equation when we look at this east/west tool box. and if none of that's working, we need to move through and decide what medications or hormones are going to work for you. >> quickly, you mentioned gut health that's interesting like, gut health is directly related to your hormones >> it is so related to your hormones we can get into all the science of it. the science is catching up to what eastern medicine has always known, gut is ground zero. we have to balance the gut to take care of our hormones effectively. >> if you want to know all the details and exactly a step-by-step of how to do it, you have a book out. the book is called "the hormone shift. it will answer all of your questions and give you practical advice on what you can do to balance your own hormones at each stage in your life. dr. taz, we're happy you came here good luck with this book >> thank you
