weekend, and we're feeling the peak of the heat today. upper 90s for the inland areas and hot tomorrow, with mid-80s by the end of the weekend. it is friday light. the toll plaza, for a short period of time, had only about halfway to the parking lot filled. it's filling in, once again. a lot of traffic through berkeley. the san mateo bridge, just fine. the "today" show starts right now and "today in the bay" continues live on roku, samsung tv, or wherever you stream. join us now or whenever it fits into your schedule. it's fri-yay. >> get out and enjoy friday. wear your sunscreen and drink plenty of water. it's going to be warm out there. >> go niners! intensifying. >> the record surge of migrants not slowing down. good morning.

it's october 6th. this is "today." crackdown. the biden administration set to begin deporting thousands this morning. on the heels of that announcement to expand construction of the border wall. >> do you believe the border wall works? >> no. >> why the president says he's spending the money anyway and what will stop the influx. we're live at the border. breaking overnight, stamp of approval. donald trump is endorsing one of his biggest supporters in congress. we'll take inside the battle for one of the most powerful positions in washington. storm alert. another wet weekend to millions on the east coast. and after this week's record heat, a major cooldown on the way for much of the country. al has got the full forecast. new warning. even more side effects revealed when it comes to the popular

weight loss drugs like ozempic. what doctors want you to know before taking them. those stories, plus monster of midway. tributes pour in for nfl legend and hall of famer dick butkus. one of the most intimidating players of all time. we'll look back on his life and career. and oh, momma. she was already the nfl's favorite parent. >> donna kelce's living the life of them all. >> now she's at the center of america's most popular sport and pop culture. is it beyond her wildest dreams? we will find out when she joins us in our studio, today, october 6, 2023. from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb. from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> hi, everybody. good morning. welcome to "today." it is friday morning. so nice to have you along with us. are you ready for it?

>> so ready. >> we're all ready. >> what was jason like as a baby? >> not our first question or our second. >> who crawled first? we'll catch up with her in just a bit. first, al, talking about the flooding warnings and we'll talk to al in just a bit. >> first, the border crisis and that major change. of course, the biden administration set to build new sections of the border wall between texas and mexico. >> the white house also now saying it will resume direct deportation flights for venezuelan migrants in an effort to curb that influx. this all comes weeks after thousands of venezuelans already in the u.s. were granted temporary protected status. >> lots to catch up with. for the latest, let's go to morgan chesky. she's along the border this morning in hidalgo, texas.

good morning. >> reporter: yeah. we're here in texas' rio grande valley where we could see 20 additional miles of this border barrier go up on the land separating the u.s. from mexico. this comes after homeland security says they encountered more than a quarter million migrants trying to cross through this sector in the last year alone. despite this new construction, this does not represent an official change in immigration policy. but we have seen president biden facing mounting pressure from both sides to do something about this ongoing migrant crisis. along parts of the southern border, the biden administration is clearing the way for construction of new sections of wall. and as pressure there is going, the administration also saying it will resume deporting venezuelan migrants. for those who traveled to the u.s. before august, the white house now saying they will remove venezuelans who arrived

after that date. illegal crossings are on the rise. the biden administration now waiving more than two dozen federal laws, to allow homeland to install barriers in texas's rio grande valley. president biden arguing his hands are tied because congress green lit the project during the trump era. >> i tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. they didn't and wouldn't. >> do you believe the border wall works? >> no. >> there will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration. >> dhs secretary among top officials meeting with counter parts in mexico thursday said there is no change to the administration's approach. >> border security requires a smarter and more comprehensive approach. >> but it comes as a recent surge of migrants put a strain on resources from border

communities. >> we are completely overwhelmed. we are done with the finger pointing. we just want solutions. >> to states hundreds of miles away such as new york and illinois where democratic governors criticized the handling of the migrant influx. still advocates like roberto lopez with the texas civil rights project says new walls won't deter people from coming. >> people will find a way to cross. >> what do the latest numbers show on how many migrants are across in the border and what officials are expecting going forward now? >> yes. we have seen a bit of a dip since last week when we were approaching record levels. customs and border protection says on wednesday alone they encountered more than 8,000 people trying to cross illegally. this past month of september set a high 2023. that is why some are hopeful that when this barrier is built

it could hopefully drive some of those numbers down, but time will definitely tell. savannah? >> all right. morgan chesky at the border, thank you very much. in the meantime, the house remains at a standstill as republicans who forced out kevin mccarthy scrambled to find his replacement. donald trump weighed in throwing his support behind one hopeful senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake. he joins us with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the behind-the-scenes battle is still being fought, but that overnight endorsement of ohio's jim jordan could be a major marker on how the gop is plotting its future course. overnight former president trump inserting himself squarely into the speaker's weight. in a post on truth social, mr. trump writing jordan, quote, will be a great speaker of the house and has my complete and total endorsement. >> president trump did more of what he said he would do than

any president in my lifetime. >> reporter: and mr. trump had already been a looming presence in the speaker race. itself a sign of the republican party moving further to the right and becoming more pro-trump. trump saying just yesterday to fox news digital that he would accept a short-term role as speaker himself if the gop couldn't decide. >> all i can say is we'll do whatever is best for the country and for the republican party. >> reporter: it comes after former house speaker kevin mccarthy was ousted for the first time in history by eight rebel republicans led by florida's matt gaetz. >> if it's speaker jim jordan or speaker steve scalise, there will be very few conservatives in the country who don't see that as a monumental upgrade. >> reporter: both candidates for the speakership are strong

supporters but jordan is a conservative fire brand, famous for his combative industrial and a staunch trump defender during both of mr. trump's impeachments. the republican party now thrown into chaos, with their eye on the election, deeply divided as moderates still distressed by mccarthy's exit. >> we have an obligation to get back to work on behalf of the american people, to stop the interparty squabble and to focus on the issues that matter to people. >> reporter: whoever the next speaker is will have a lot on their plate, including a looming government shutdown, now just weeks away. >> what are the next steps here? >> the next official step is a closed door candidate forum, where everybody who is running is getting a chance to present their case to the congress. it is possible donald trump may come to the capitol for that. and republicans will meet again on wednesday to try to pick a candidate again behind closed doors before they go to the floor. that person will meet a majority of their conference, but there

is a ton of concern among republicans about going to the floor and failing repeatedly. so the bottom line, we could be in for a very long week next week on capitol hill. >> garrett, thank you. also this morning, millions of americans are bracing for a big change in the weather. a tropical storm is expected to bring weekend rain. the same parents that have been enjoying record heat this week. al is tracking the roller coaster for us. >> here we go. we got double trouble for the eastern sea board. got this long cold front way to the gulf, tropical storm philippe out. 50-mile-per-hour winds. right now 195 miles south of bermuda. it is moving northeast at 18 miles an hour. so here we go. this front moves into the northeast today into tomorrow

with heavy rain. philippe transitions from a post tropical system which means it has no tropical attributes to it. the storm hits maine and we're talking about heavy downpours, gusty winds. rainfall amounts anywhere from 2 to 3 but upwards of 5 inches of rain. in northern new england, clogged leaves could clog storm drains. we're watching that. much colder air. 10 million people under frost advisories, freeze watches, freeze warnings from the plains all the way to the central plains. and that's just the beginning. and as that cold air makes its way to the east, we have big changes coming. >> al, we'll check in with you later. thank you. we are getting a critical read on the economy this morning. the september unemployment report is coming out, and it's congress out amid higher interest rates and questions about whether the fed may be done hiking those rates to cool inflation. tom costello is on the story for us. >> good morning. that is the big question. is the federal reserve, have the federal reserve's efforts to

raise inflation rates, have they worked? have they affected the job's market and is that now slowing. so far we don't see evidence of that. economists are forecasting an increase of 170,000 jobs in september. that would be lower to the number of jobs added in august. the employment rate expected to drop slightly. we did get private payroll numbers this week. they were down significantly from august. we have had a lot of layoffs in the tech sector, roughly 152,000 so far including big names. that's despite a series of strikes and layoffs in the tech sector this year, including big names like google, amazon, microsoft, yahoo, meta, and zoom. inflation has been trending down.

interest rates taken off, led by the growing heights and deficits. the average interest rate, 7.49% this week. a fresh 23-year high, but a strong jobs number could mean the fed is not done hiking rates and the fact that unemployment has remained low despite this really has surprised economists. hoda? >> we'll keep you posted, thanks. the chicago bears who haven't won a game in nearly a year are back in the win column. they actually made it look easy on thursday night football. >> pass is hauled in by moore! gets free. washington gambles and lose the gamble that time. 56 yards touchdown. >> that was dj moore's third touchdown of the night. it snaps a 14-game losing streak that dated back to last october. do you think they're happy about that?

the celebration is on. craig, condolences to your commanders, but the bears needed a win. >> for more than one reason, in fact. the bears teams we saw there, fans celebrating that win, but many did it with heavy hearts. that's because just before the game we learned that dick butkus had died. ann, butkus came to embody chicago. >> he really did. he didn't just play for that city. he was chicago. for years, the windy city proudly riding on his big shoulders. ferocious and talented, butkus redefined the role of middle linebacker. so much so that the legendary running back jim brown called butkus the ultimate hitter. he was the original gold standard for the position.ho wah

a middle linebacker who was both fearless and ferocious a jarring tackler terrifying offenses dick butkus was the monster of the midway he was an all-american of illinois drafted third overall by the bears in 1965, butkus played nine seasons, twice named the nfl's player of the year, a first team all pro five times and a first ballot hall of famer. >> the single most sustained work of devastation. >> one observer compared him to "moby-dick" in a fish bowl butkus himself even revelled in his reputation. >> i did what i thought i was supposed to do >> reporter: after his playing days, butkus poked fun at his

mean demeanor. >> not just because it tastes great but it has a third less calories than regular beer >> reporter: he became a staunch advocate for player safety but he was always and forever a chicago bear the team calling him the ultimate bear and one of the greatest players in nfl history. last night, the bears honoring butkus with a moment of silence before their game. his retired number 51 worn by many fans, paying tribute to one of chicago's favorite sons dick butkus is survived by three children and his wife of 60 years helen. they were high school sweethearts and we're told she was by his side wednesday when he passed away. >> one of one, for sure. >> nfl films narrating those

incredible pictures. it was the best. >> thank you. >> thank you, ann. let's go back to the weather and get the rest of al's forecast. >> and he was one of the stars of the shows "my two dads" on nbc in 1987 with paul reiser he was a great actor, too. heavy rain along this cold front, cooling off along the plains frost and freeze warnings as we mentioned. but out west, it is sunny and hot again. that's what's going on we will get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds.

good friday morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. today temperatures reach into the upper 90s for the inland areas, and it's still pretty hot tomorrow as well. but it does come down several degrees for sunday. next week we'll be watching, especially the north bay, for a chance of rain, and a significant cooldown for all of the bay area. as we take a look at san francisco, the air show is going on today. it's going to and that's your latest weather. >> al, thank you coming up, new details on costly cyberattacks miguel almaguer with that story. hi, miguel >> good morning. a string of casinos have lost big and customer data was stolen so much money was lost

for some users now the first of its kind research studied those side effects on people that weren't diabetic but took the drugs to lose weight. there may be an ugly downside to the new generation of wildly popular weight loss medications, including the diabetes drug ozempic and its sister drug wegovy rare but serious gastro intestinal problems. the american medical association focused on non-diabetic medications known as glp-1s. it found adverse effects according to the study, people who use them had a 9 times higher risk of pancreatitis and a more than three and a half times higher risk of stomach paralysis. the study indicated that most severe symptoms are rare ozempic's study says it can cause side effects the popular drugs have been used

for years to treat diabetes. >> i was on it for three weeks, and i felt absolutely terrible. >> many other patients say the weight loss benefits far out weigh the discomfort. >> i will do a happy dance. >> telling nbc news it stands by the safety of its products, which include the possible side effects listed on their labels the company also noting that much of the data from the study was collected beginning in 2006, before its products were even on the market use of the drugs has jumped 300% over the past three years. and the boom is showing no signs of slowing ♪ >> morgan stanley estimates 24 million americans could be taking them by 2035.

according to "the wall street journal," the trend is something the food industry is watching closely because people who take the drugs feel fuller longer they quite simply eat less and industry experts say that means brands may need to adapt. >> it reduces the appetite and, so, that i could see a return to portion control packaging. that was big almost two decades ago. >> back to those side effects, drugmaker novo nordisk says they are working closely with the fda to continuously monitor the safety profile of its medications. last week the fda updated the warning label to warn users of a possible link to serious intestinal blockages. >> thank you. let's get insight and context. these side effects sound unpleasant and serious how common are they? how concerned should people be if they're using these drugs for weight loss? >> it is definitely important we're talking about this, but i

want to keep it in perspective these drugs have been around in treating diabetic patients for years. in fact, many of them are on the labels for these drugs the real issue is what happens when you apply this to a population, who is just trying to use this drug to lose weight. does the risks and benefits, how do you balance those but the absolute risk is small these are rare for example, with the concept of slowing stomach emptying 0.3% with these non-glp-1 drugs to 3% to 0.8 or seven percent with the other drugs. gastroparesis, that's how this drug partially works, which is slowing the emptying of the stomach. the problem is in some people, if it is severe, you will end up with nausea, vomiting, abdominal

pain, feeling full, floating so it is important we're raising awareness. >> yeah. >> but we want to keep it in perspective. >> a lot of people who are obese have issues with their heart, their cholesterol, their joints. all of these things on this side of the table on that side of the table, you have the things that some folks are worried about. how do you balance those two >> this is why people should not be getting this drug off the internet they should be sitting down with a health care provider who can talk to you about the risks and benefits do you have a history of bowl problems you probably shouldn't be taking this drug. and do the benefits outweigh yes, for obesity, we're talking about cardiovascular risks, cancer risks start low. you don't increase until four to six weeks. you monitor for side effects this health care provider should be talking about non-gi risks as well there are other risks with these

drugs, too one important thing i want to bring up is the anesthesiology society released a statement saying patients who take these drugs should stop them a week before any elective procedures i don't think we have talked about this a lot patients even after fasting for 12, 24 hours still have food in their stomach when they're going for surgery. the more we're studying this, we are going to see some of these results. >> you have to have an empty stomach before surgery so you don't suffocate. >> this is your wheel house. you are a cardiologist i imagine you have a lot of folks coming in asking you about these particular drugs how many folks are we talking about? what are you advising your patients to do and not do? >> i would say 40% to 60% of my patients are having these conversations. so many of my patients struggle with obesity and many want to know about other options besides bariatric surgery. they say they have tried everything, and i can't figure out a way to lose weight we know with these medications we are seeing benefits in a high

risk population for lowering risk of heart attack and stroke. so there are benefits for those people so it is important to talk to your doctor about it it is not for everyone it may be for you, but really have that conversation. >> all right >> thank you, dr. narula. >> welcome to the family, by the way. >> thank you mr. roker? >> well, guys, we have a chill in the air that will be coming in above average temperatures today. the jet stream takes a dip today we're looking at temperatures 13 degrees above average in burlington. washington will be 16 degrees. minneapolis, milwaukee, des moines, below average temperatures, in the 50s nashville only 65. that's 10 degrees cooler than afternoon. as we move into early next week, temperatures in the low 60s in boston mid-50s to upper 50s in new york 50s in burlington. pittsburgh, you will be in the

>> reporter: good morning. really contrasting news from the biden administration, who is stressing they will begin deportation of venezuelan migrants. the more than 200,000 migrants who were in the country prior to that day are still temporarily protected. but here in texas's rio grande valley, we anticipated 20 miles or so of border barrier to go up. and this is a sharp reversal from the biden policy saying not a foot of it would be built. they're using money allocated back in 2019 by a republican congress to build out the county. here's what the president had to say about the matter yesterday. >> i tried to get them to reappropriate, to respect that money.

they didn't. they wouldn't. >> do you believe the border wall works? >> no. >> now, important to note here, there is no completion date for when this border barrier would be completed. but the president is facing mounting pressure from both sides to do something about the migrant crisis in order to get this construction through, the biden administration had to waive 26 federal laws, including some protecting the environment and wildlife. savannah? >> morgan chesky, thank you. former president trump reportedly shared sensitive details about u.s. nuclear submarines with a wealthy businessman. mr. trump revealed how many nuclear warheads the sub carried and how close they could get to russian subs without being detected. the conversation is said to take place shortly after trump office. pratt was reportedly interviewed as part of the classified documents investigation. there was no immediate response

can we please get a quick pick ticket as we get some help with that the reason this grand prize is so big right now is because we haven't had a winner since july 19th you might remember that prize. thank you very much. i'm keeping this one safe here that grand prize also made a lot of headlines and the powerball says this is actually going to be the first time ever in the history of the game that we will have back-to-back billion dollar grand prizes if this estimated jackpot holds, it is going to be the third largest powerball jackpot in the history of the game. the drawing is tomorrow night, savannah. >> we all know the odds aren't great. but still fun. and we like to buy the tickets is there anything you could do to boost your chances? >> yeah. savannah, the odds are dismal. we're talking about less than 1 out of 292 million but we got some new strategies that i'm working through here so a couple things to keep in mind. the lottery association tells me that only 18% of jackpot winning tickets had numbers the players picked themselves. 82% of the time the jackpot

winning tickets have been tickets that were quick pick, like what i just did so i don't know what numbers i have another thing to keep in mind, since 2015, we're told that number 52 has come up the most frequently in drawings for white balls from the jackpot drawings. the number 24 has been most commonly seen on the red power ball so 52, 24, let the computer decide three things to work through if you win with one of those strategies, i expect to get a portion of the wins. >> a piece of the action, exactly. jesse, thank you very much we're doing the office pool in the studio. >> quick pick? >> yeah. >> still ahead, carson in the house for "popstart. he has details on new movies. >> but, first, she is in good company for the cheering section for the chiefs what is it like being in the
