hi, everyone. thank you so much for joining us. i'm morgan radford.

i'm ellison barber. "nbc news daily" starts now. today is friday, october 6th. shifting gears. the united auto workers strike enters its fourth week now. could negotiators be speeding towards a deal. the work force adds hundreds of thousands of new jobs. and hard to stomach. weight loss drugs are changing out americans eat and why that's a concern for america's food industry. and highs and lows as our hormone levels change as we add, a doctor has tips for finding balance. we'll begin with progress in the contract negotiations between the big three american automakers and the united auto workers union.

>> union president sean fain said they had a major break through on talks. take a listen. >> we're making significant progress. in just three weeks we have moved these companies further than anyone thought possible. >> the union says they're making good progress on issues like better pay and cost of living adjustments but there's still no finished contract in site. >> what's also noticeable that the union president did not say that strikes were expanding like we've seen over the past few fridays. >> jesse kirsch is in ohio outside of a strike at a stellantis plant. what did uaw's president say about where negotiations stand? we heard a little bit of it there. >> yeah. the union says it is moving in the right direction but there's still work to be done. what's notable is the union did not expand its strike against any of the big three automakers. in weeks past, even after having

said that there was progress made with a company, the union wasn't afraid to then expand the strike against that same automaker. the example being ford. during the first expansion of the strike, the union did not tell extra ford workers to go on strike saying progress had been made, but a week later the union did expand its strike against ford. this says that all three of the companies the union feels are making good progress. that is a significant development and something that potentially could be pointing towards moving to an agreement. the other thing that was notable is what the union president said specifically about general motors. here's part of what sean fain shared a short time ago. >> suddenly, three weeks into our stand-up strike, we have two of the big three automakers committed to returning to our 2007 cost of living formula. ford and stellantis have agreed to reinstate cost of living allowance and gm is not far

behind. >> one other thing that the union president said about general motors, he said that company has agreed in writing to put electric vehicle battery plants, electric vehicle battery manufacturing in its national master agreement. the union is saying the company is committing to this in writing. evs have been a concern underpinning these negotiations. >> what are you hearing from workers who have been on the picket lines for weeks now? is it sort of starting to wear on them? >> there's a mix of opinions. one gentleman telling our team he thinks this is a positive sign, that move on ev battery manufacturing specifically, because that's been something that's been concerning for the union for workers and the future of this industry because it's likely that evs will not require

as many jobs. it's possible it will not require as many jobs or workers to produce those vehicles. as we move towards more and more evs, that becomes more and more of a concern for the uaw. that's something to be keeping a close eye on moving forward. >> all right. jesse, thank you. hiring across america in september was so strong it just completely outperformed experts predictions. >> a new labor department report says 336,000 jobs were added last month, almost double of what was forecasted. unemployment stays at 3.8%. if you look on your screen, you can see this chart, it's only changed slightly in the past year. for context, the unemployment before the pandemic in january of 2020 was 3.5%. >> let's bring in tom costello. why are people saying this report crushed expectations and who is leading this hiring frenzy? >> we may be looking at a

goldilocks economy. that's shocked everybody. in other words, it's not too hot and we see no signs of it overheating. it's not too cold. right now we don't see signs of a recession that 3.8% unemployment rate, that's close to a 54-year low and here's what's critical. we have been watching the fed hike interest rates because they're trying to cool inflation. inflation is coming down, but the fed wanted to see that maybe job creation wasn't so hot. in fact, job creation came in very hot. now the question is, well, will the fed have to keep hiking rates or will they settle for a pretty good thing right now? we've got a very, very strong jobs picture, unemployment rate pretty low. inflation is taming. to answer your question, here's where jobs were created in september. we had a lot of jobs in leisure and hospitality. big number there, about 96,000. government, in other words, a lot of teachers coming back. 73,000. health care, 41,000 jobs.

this is a pretty good picture. the question is will the fed take its foot off the gas on the interest rates? we'll have to see at the end of the month. >> speaking of which, what does all of this mean for our wallets on a day-to-day basis? what does it mean for things like grocery bills, prices at the gas pump? >> inflation still running 3.7%. yeah. that's not good. it's down significantly from 9% in june of last summer. pretty good trend on inflation. that means we're starting to see things level out a little bit. i just checked on gasoline. 3.74 a gallon. the national average right now. that's down from $3.80. things seem to be trending in the right direction. the bottom line here is interest rates moving higher. what does that mean? right now, the interest on a 30-year fixed mortgage is averaging 7.84%. that's the highest in 23 years.

as you try to go by a new home that will cost you more money. >> yeah. wow. >> tom costello, thank you. two significant developments in hour involving former president trump. >> first, the "new york times" reports the former president shared nuclear sub secrets with an australian billionaire after leaving office. the times is citing two people familiar with the matter. >> on top of that, mr. trump's attorneys are officially appealing to stop the new york attorney general's civil fraud trial. rehema ellis will have more on the trial in just a minute. let's begin with ryan riley. ryan, walk us through this reporting. how is the trump team responding? >> this involves an australian businessman and a lot of this unfolded at mar-a-lago, according to the reporting from the "new york times," where he was sharing secrets and being free with information that he knew from his time as president. sharing the number of nuclear

warheads that the subs could carry and how closely they could get to their russian counterparts without them being able to detect them. then that individual, according to reporting from abc, then shared it with a lot of other individuals. the reason this person had access to the mar-a-lago club is because he's a wealthy individual. he's a billionaire who was a member of this club. it does indicate this was something that donald trump was also sort of able to monetize on. you were able to buy access to mar-a-lago and then have access to donald trump and donald trump could just sort of throw out apparently classified information there, according to this reporting from the "new york times." that's another benefit of being so close when you have a situation where you have a former president who is essentially selling access to himself in the form of this mar-a-lago -- these people belonging to his club. >> rehema, you are outside the courthouse here in new york. we know the trial just wrapped up for the week. there was a pretty big admission

towards the end of today's testimony. tell us about what was said and the appeal from trump's attorneys. >> yeah. it was a pretty dramatic key admission that occurred in the courthouse behind us just before court ended for the day. it's a short day as pre-determined by the judge when he set up the schedule. they would end fridays at 1:00. just as the court was ending, the witness who was on the stand is jeff mcconney, trump's former comptroller. he admitted when directly asked by the attorney general prosecutors that trump's former chief financial officer, allen weisselberg, asked for his help in committing tax fraud. mcconney said he lied because he was afraid if he didn't go along, he might be fired. the other big thing that happened was this morning trump attorneys went into court asking for a stay to stop the judge's order from dissolving his company and asked for delay in the trial.

the a.g. already responded to that saying they're willing to hold off enforcing the dissolution of his companies but they want that to happen after this trial continues. they say it will be too disruptive delaying this trial right now. in addition, they said they had already attempted to do this before the appellate court and it was denied eight days ago. morgan? >> wow. great reporting there. thank you both so much. you know what time it is, time for today's cnbc money minute. another change coming to x. >> and an iconic football jersey is headed to auction. julia joins us with more. >> hi. elon musk's x, the platform formerly known as twitter, is testing three tiers of premium service. the tiers would split the premium plan into basic, standard and plus.

today is the third and final day of a planned health care worker strike against kaiser permanente. more than 75,000 workers on the west coast have walked off the job. union leaders are calling for more staffing and better pay.

david noriega joins us from los angeles. give us a breakdown of where things are right now. this is the last day of the strike coming to an end. do people feel like they have gotten what they set out to get? >> the short answer to your question is not yet. there has been progress. the biggest update as of today, there's new bargaining sessions scheduled for next week, starting on thursday. those will happen in oakland. in the last couple of minutes we got a state from the department of labor indicating that the acting labor secretary will participate in those talks. i think we're reporting that here for the first time. that's a significant escalation of the stakes of these talks. there has been progress in terms of what kaiser is willing to offer in terms of pay, the unions are saying it's still not enough, they're not budging and they're trying to put the pressure on kaiser so when they come to the table next week, they do so with a serious

willingness to end this. >> have they taken striking again off the table? >> they have not. they're firmly putting it on the table. they say if these negotiations don't go well next week, they're prepared to strike in the first week of november for at least five days, perhaps something more. something significant will have to happen in the bargaining next week for this to change. we are following a major change from the biden administration. the decision to build a new section of the border wall between texas and mexico. this surprise announcement comes as the president faces mounting pressure from both sides of the aisle to take stronger action on the migrant crisis. the white house now also says they will resume direct deportation flights for some migrants from venezuela. nbc news homeland security correspondent julia ainsley joins us now from washington. given what president biden had said as a candidate and even shortly after he won, this announcement was certainly a

surprise. i mean, what has the biden administration said about the reasoning behind this decision and when they actually expect to start building a new section of the wall. >> president biden was just asked about this again today. he said -- he was asked what did you do to try to take this funding that you say was appropriated by congress, you had no other choice but to spend it on this wall, what did you do to try to put it towards something else? it's possible to ask to reallocate those funds. he said he would have liked to spend it on things like detecting fentanyl at the boshd border, but he didn't say what efforts went through. and also it wasn't like there was a court case and someone was suing them saying they weren't spending the funds the way they were appropriated. it seems odd to put it into the federal register, waive federal law so they can expedite 17

miles of border barrier in the rio grande valley. they have not pinpointed a time for when that could start. people i spoke to say it could be in the coming months. at this point, they are moving forward, they're expediting the process. according to what the homeland security secretary said in the federal register, this is due to the need to stop migrants from crossing the border. when the president was asked about that, he said walls do not work. there seems to be a schism here about why they're building this. >> we mentioned that the biden administration announced that it will resume deportation flights for venezuelan migrants. why venezuelans and why now? >> venezuelans are making up the majority of the border. it's a bit of a carrot and stick approach here. just a couple weeks ago, they announced protective status for almost 500,000 venezuelans already living in the united states. anyone living here before july

31st could stay, have relief from deportation and apply for work authorizations, which is a big relief to cities like new york and chicago, where there are so many venezuelans are living there. for those who crossed after july 31st, it means they could be deported more quickly. >> julia, thank you. coming up, food for thought. how those wildly popular drugs used for weight loss are changing how americans eat. you're watching "nbc news daily." we're also streaming for free 24/7 right here on nbc news now and watch us wherever you stream live. your news continues after this. ♪♪ when you have chronic kidney disease... there are places you'd like to be. like here. and here. not so much here. if you have chronic kidney disease,

trump's backing normally carries weight. how are some reacting to the announcement? >> some have come out in support of jim jordan perhaps because of donald trump's endorsement. some others like majorie taylor greene think trump could be the best speaker of the house. perhaps it's no surprise that people like trump and others are supportive of jim jordan. but how much does trump's backing really matter? bannon and trump don't get to vote. some moderate republicans may be uneasy supporting someone like jim jordan who created the freedom caucus, a further right part of the house of representatives. here's what steve scalise, the guy who didn't get trump's

endorsement, had to say on fox news. >> there's a lot of interest in this race. it's a lot of one-on-one conversations. i've had introspection about how we get things back on track. the problems we have internally don't go away with a new speaker. >> scalise there talked about some problems they have internally and talking about one-on-one conversations. fox news scheduled a debate between the speaker candidates on monday, that's been canceled because all the candidates said they didn't want to take part. >> gary, that situation has been an interesting back and forth. some of the discussion amongst that party was other people saying, hey, we'll have this discussion internally afterwards. talk to us about what will happen next week with house republicans. they are going to meet and pick the next speaker, right? >> they will be. there's going to be a lot of meetings on capitol hill. it will be a busy week here. on monday, every member of the house republican caucus will meet at the capitol and trying to think who will be the best

fit for speaker of the house. tuesday, those meetings will continue in smaller fashion, smaller groups throughout the capitol. wednesday at 9:00 a.m., that's when the house republicans will have a vote on who they want to be the speaker of the house. they really want to avoid having what happened in january, where it took 15 ballots for them to figure out a speaker of the house. we should have a full vote towards the end of the week. >> gary, thank you. . >> weight loss drugs are soaring in popularity. while it can help people shed unwanted pounds, we talked about the side effects and health warnings. >> now we're learning about the impact it could have on the food industry. stephanie gosk has more. >> we've all seen incredible examples of dramatic weight loss, there's also growing evidence that the active ingredient in drugs like ozempic and wegovy can cause rare but serious side effects for users. first of its kind research has

shown the side effects for those who weren't diabetic but may have taken the drug 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 which is approved for weight loss. rare but serious gastrointestinal problems. new research in the "journal of the american medical association" focused on nondiabetic patients who took this class of weight loss drugs, known as glp-1s. it found adverse effects. according to the study, people who used them had a nine times higher risk of pancreatitis and more than a four times risk of a bowel obstruction and more than a 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 nausea and vomiting to kidney problems. the popular drugs have been used for years to treat diabetes. recently a growing number of

people have started taking them for weight loss. >> 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 couldn't be happier. i can do a little happy dance. >> novo nordisk telling nbc news that 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 patient safety is a top priority and they're 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. back to you. let's head to the west coast now. in hollywood, the actors union and studio heads are meeting for the third time this week in hopes of finally ending the strike that crippled withed with since july. the two sides said they will continue to talk internally throughout the weekend. this comes as we're learning how much the summer labor disputes have impacted jobs in the film and tv industry. dana griffin joins us from los

angeles. is there any word yet about any progress so far today? >> not yet. but we've learned that talks are proceeding calmly. earlier this week s.a.g. met with top media executives for the first time, according to "l.a. times." this includes bob iger, david zaslav, and donna langley from our parent company. if a deal is not reached with sag-aftra today, we're told the parties will work internally over the weekend resuming talks on monday. >> you know, we remember that drew barrymore was in hot water here. even though the writers strike is over, we understand three of her lead writers have decided not to return. can you tell us more about that? >> yeah. three of the show's co-head writers were offered deals to return, but declined. listen. >> five months off and we are back.

during a global pandemic and everything that the world has experienced through 2020, why would this sideline us? >> reporter: the move drawing major backlash from union members on the picket lines. barrymore later backtracking that decision and pausing the premiere until the strike ended. >> good evening, i'm seth meyers. how is everybody doing tonight? >> reporter: many shows like late night and the "tonight show" already making their return with others like the talk expected to follow close behind, all avoiding the public condemnation that barrymore faced. >> i think the more lethal or challenging consequence she's going to come up against is these are her colleagues. she's going to have to look these people in the eye and they're going to say why did you make this decision and the crisis is the crisis of trust with her colleagues. >> reporter: the show set to premiere on october 16th under a cloud of controversy. >> according to the hollywood

reporter, which broke this story, the three co-head writers and the show declined further comment. during the strike, on september 11th, the show's first day back in production, the trio told thr they found out drew was returning not from her, but rather audience ticket giveaways which sent a message that union writers are not valuable. that may be why they declined those offers to return. >> wow. a lot to unpack there. dana griffin, thanks. hormones can play a big role in how we feel, especially as we age. a doctor shares her tips for women looking to find better balance physically and mentally. you're watching "nbc news daily."

bhatia. she wrote "the hormone shift." talk to us about all this stuff. when we talk about different types of hormones functioning differently within our bodies, which ones are you talking about here and what causes a hormonal imbalance? i don't know about you, i remember going to the ob-gyn in my teens, they didn't know what was wrong with me and said maybe it's something with your hormones. >> there's five different hormone shifts, starts at puberty, 20s, 30s, perimenopause and menopause. we don't check levels and understand what's happening. so many things influence what hormones are doing, like our diet, how we sleep, our stress. what i want to do is help everyone understand your hormones are connected to your mental health and they can regulate your emotional response. one minute you're fine and the

next minute you're falling apart. we want to understand how that's playing into this conversation around mental health as we're moving forward as women. >> can we pause and ask our wonderful director to pull up that graphic on the screen that outlines that -- those five shifts. 13 to 19. can you briefly walk us through those shifts? how do the symptoms look different at each one of those stages? >> absolutely. of course, puberty. we're all familiar with that. i have a 15-year-old daughter. this 13 to 19-year-old phase is hormone chaos and confusion. the levels are all over the place. what we'll see there is a lot of mood shifting because the hormones are high, low, all over. we're dealing with trying to give these guys stability. the second one is going into your 20s. i call them the hustlers, they're just busting it, staying up all night. working all day, drinking a lot. we all remember it, we all remember that time. however there was a price to pay. your cortisol levels are high, what's happening there is you're

disrupting the entire hormone axis. by the time you hit 28 and 29 and you're ready to settle down, you're in a rhythm, groove of some kind, maybe you're starting a family, maybe not, for the first time you're questioning your hormones. you're having low progestone. and then you enter perimenopause and menopause, this is the 38 to 39, to 50-ish range, then 59 and above, you enter those stages with hormone depletion where you have the narrative i'm tired, i'm old, this is aging, i'm expired. i want women to understand, it doesn't have to be that way. there's so much we can do to take control of our health and

set our hormones. there's so many other factors playing into it. >> was can people do to be proactive? if you feel you're in a shift or swing, how do you know if you're experiencing something that's a normal stage or something that would constitute an imbalance? >> i love this question. there's a simple rule you can use. if you're feeling badly, i'll rattle off some things that welcome plain to me about all the time. if you're feeling badly more than 20% of the time, you're probably having a hormone shift. these are changes in energy. then we see changes in mood, anxiety, depression. we also see issuing with sleep, issuing with weight in either direction. and an inability to focus. each of those can be tied to hormone shifts, especially if their persistent. we all have the occasional deadline, someone was sick at home so we stayed up all night so we're tired for those reasons. when it's persistent and taking up about more than 20% of your life. that's probably a hormone shift.

>> 30 seconds left, what do you do about it? >> there's so many great tools and hacks. first of all, diet into your diet and nutrient. look at your gut health and work on you. work on finding joy, scheduling joy, me time, so you have an opportunity to release the stress and reset your emotional sort of body. that way, you know, your hormones in turn will thank you. >> "the hormone shift" available now. thanks for being with us. >> incredibly helpful. there's a whole lot more news for you coming up in just a moment. >> you're watching "nbc news daily." my name is caron and i'm from brooklyn. i work for the city of new york as a police administrator. i oversee approximately 20 people and my memory just has to be sharp. i always hear people say, you know, when you get older, you know, people lose memory.
