hi, everyone. so good to be with you. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, wednesday, october 25th, 2023. breaking news. head of the house.

republicans get their fourth speaker nominee over the finish line, so who is mike johnson and what does his election mean for the chamber? rapidly running out. desperation growing in gaza as fuel supplies are almost tapped out why the u.n. is warning that innocent people are being put at risk. storm shock. hurricane otis pummels mexico with a storm. plus the social struggle, 41 states and the district of the columbia filing suit against meta, the owner of instagram and facebook. >> i see someone go down a rabbit hole, mental health issues, things that she saw on social media were a part of that. >> how can you help protect your kids right now. such a big conversation among

parents. >> i'm excited to get to that report. we'll begin with the breaking news out of capitol hill, where the fourth time was the charm. >> after 22 days, 14 candidates and 4 nominees house republican united to elect congressman mike johnson of louisiana the new speaker of the house. johnson became the gop nominee after tom emmer dropped out last night after failing to draw support from the party's far right. the hard work is not done yet with the speaker finally in place the house has some huge issues to tackle in coming days and weeks. >> julie is tracking this for us. give us some context, how did mike johnson get some of the votes but literally all of the republican votes in what has been a deeply divided republican party in the house? >> reporter: yeah, you see him there on the screen, walking out to address reporters for the

first time since he got the gavel and you mentioned he's not a household name, that played in his favor, the record is as conservative as that of jim jordan. he's not a flame thrower. he's somebody who's respected by both sides of the aisle but he has a very conservative. he didn't vote for ukraine aid. he spoke on the floor a couple of moments ago when he was sworn in as the 56th speaker of the house. take a listen. >> my office is going to be known for trust and transparency and accountability. for good stewardship of the people's treasure. for the honesty and integrity that's incumbent upon all of us here in the people's house. our system of government is not a perfect system. it's got a lot of challenges. but it's still the best one in the world and we have an opportunity to preserve it.

>> reporter: guys, remember, mccarthy the former speaker didn't get an unanimous show of support. >> julie, we have a new speaker, so hopefully they can get to work, some big issues before the house, aid to israel and ukraine, government funding, how quickly will congress actually start? >> reporter: they're getting right to work, even a resolution which is on nonbinding, no teeth, couldn't get moved when the house were paralyzed for 22 days. you're right, that i have so much work to tackle and already we're seeing where johnson, speaker johnson could stand on some of these things. he put out a proposal to fund the government, passing a short-term government funding with budget cuts, that's not going to go anywhere in the democrat-controlled senate.

you chuck schumer said moments ago he'll work with johnson. he doesn't support ukraine aid. we tried asking him this morning where he stood on these policy issues. he'll talk with his conference. >> okay, julie with the lastest from capitol hill, thank you so much. let's turn overseas to the dire humanitarian situation unfolding in gaza. >> a united nations agency said it will have to cut back relief efforts as soon as tonight if it doesn't get fuel immediately to deliver things. gaza's health ministry run by hamas says hospitals are overwhelmed and have very little supplies left. israel said it won't allow more fuel into the strip because they say it will end up in hamas' hands. >> president biden said the flow of humanitarian aid into gaza needs to increase. he made the comments earlier

today. kelly o'donnell is in washington for us and hala gorani is in tel aviv, israel. kelly, what more do we hear from the president? >> reporter: the president is trying to walk a very careful line of full support for israel and its right to defend itself, concern for innocent life, regardless of nationality or identity. but at the same time, wanting to also make clear that he's not directing telling israel how to carry out operations, he's said that he would like to see hostages safely returned to israel, some of them have already been released, they include not only israeli citizens but also dual nationals with the united states and other countries. so the president at the same time he's condemning hamas trying to leave some space for this humanitarian piece and the

effort that's ongoing to try aid in through other means to e keep necessary vital life-saving institutions like hospitals and so forth functioning, but at the same time there have been concerns expressed by israel that hamas would be able to take over things like fuel. so the president is trying to thread that line of support while also recognizing there's a lot of global concern about innocent life regardless of nationality. >> halla, the president also said something that caught our attention. he talked about attacks in the west bank and israeli settlers. >> i continue to be alarmed by extremist settlers attacking palestinians in the west bank. >> do we know why he might be raising this right now. >> well, the president came under criticism in the early days of the crisis when he visited israel and hugged

benjamin netanyahu on the tarmac at the airport, from some in the arab world, from many people i should say in the arab world for not expressing enough sympathy for the victims of the violence. in the last few addresses as well as in his last few tweets we're seeing from the u.s. president more sympathy, empathy expressed toward the palestinians who also say that they are suffering either under occupation in the west bank or as a result of these israeli air strikes over gaza, so we've seen a bit of a shift in the tone here by president biden when it comes to how he is also mentioning the victims and the suffering on the palestinian side. >> halla, as you're talking about a shift in tone, what a u.n. spokesperson said recently they'll have to make painful

decisions if they don't get fuel, what does that mean exactly. >> reporter: well i spoke today with one of the representatives of the u.n. relief agency in charge of palestinian refugees in the gaza strip and she essentially told me, look, we have a fleet of 300 vehicles, we are rationing fuel right now, pretty soon if we don't get fuel and unable to resupply of stocks of fuel we'll have to shut down operations completely. i put to her the concerns from the israeli side that say if they send fuel on to the gaza strip it could be diverted and used by hamas to fuel rockets and she told me, and these are her words, that's total nonsense, that fuel is sent into the gaza strip through the rafah border crossing in egypt, we have vetted drivers who will be able to take custody and control of those shipments and drive them directly to our centers so

that we're able to fuel vehicles, fuel vance, so that we can distribute the flour to bakeries and we can distribute medical supplies and water to those in need inside the strip. that's what i'm hearing from the u.n. agency inside of gaza. >> kelly, back to you quickly. today, the prime minister of australia is here on state visit, what's on the agenda for the president now. >> reporter: no higher level diplomatic benefit than a state visit which included the dramatic ceremonies that are very patriotic in appearances on the south lawn. state dinner tonight. lots of meetings and clearly strong partnership between the u.s. and australia, a lot of that has to do with things like australia's place in the pacific as a partner to the u.s. when you consider the rise in china and other issues. also important today talking about climate change, support for israel and also extend support to ukraine. kate? >> kelly o'donnell, halla

a judge in texas is taking her fight over religious freedom all the way to the state supreme court, justice of peace has refused to perform same-sex marriages because of her religious beliefs even though those marriages are legal in texas. she was sanctioned before. and she said she's being punished over his faith. morgan chesskie is following

this story. >> reporter: the hearing was this morning. both sides had a chance to present their arguments for whether or not this lawsuit filed by diane hensley back in 2019 should in fact continue and important to note here that her refusal to grant same-sex marriages in the county. reprimanded her with a public warning back in 2019 and this's what's caused this justice of the peace, essentially a local judge in texas to file this lawsuit saying that she was unfairly reprimanded. we don't know how and when the court will rule. they went into recess shortly after both sides presented their arguments. right now it's very much a holding pattern.

kate. >> the judge's pointing to the recent u.s. supreme court ruling, right, in favor of web designer who refused to make websites for same-sex couples. what are legal experts telling you? >> reporter: representativesorgo case saying that essentially it should pave the way for hensley's case to go forward because that graphic design company in colorado could refuse clients that were off of the same-sex marriage -- but on the other side the state representatives disagree essentially saying because she is a judge in the state of texas a government employee, that she is upheld to different standards than a private business. >> morgan, thanks. kate, the united auto workers strike is now on its 40th day and it's getting costly for one of the big three carmakers. general motors reported an $800

million loss in the third quarter due to loss vehicle production because of the strike. that news came the same day that the union expanded the walkout to include a plant in texas. nbc news correspondent maggie vespa joins us now. it seems like the strike is only getting bigger here. what's the latest on the negotiations to bring this work stoppage to an end. >> reporter: breaking headline we'll bring to you here, the big one making the rounds on online, associated press according to two people familiar with talks, uaw and ford may be moving closer to a deal, the ap reporting according to those two people the union made a counteroffer to ford with 25% pay increase, remember that would be a big shift. the union initially said they wanted a 40% pay increase and all of the big three, ford, gm and stellantis came in with a 23% offer.

this is according to the ap. nothing is in writing yet. again that would be major progress. we should be clear the uaw right now telling us no comment on this potential movement. our sources at ford have yet to respond. we should note we've been told by all sides, the talks remain active. one of the big three potentially could pivotal. >> a major development, maggie, you have spoken to an owner of the dealership recently, what's the impact of those who owns cars or wants to buy cars. >> reporter: experts have said, within weeks he'll see this impacting everyday americans. we're starting to see that now about six weeks in. we talked to a dealer here in chicago who said they can't find parts through normal suppliers, they have to go online and e-bay to find parts, customers are now

assess the damage from a strongest hurricane to hit the country since records have been kept. >> hurricane otis made landfall overnight with winds as high as 160 miles per hour. the day before it was a tropical storm. >> nbc news meteorologist bill karins joins us now. we're starting to get some video in, do we know the extent of the damage? >> look closely and tell me what you notice about all of these pictures, large waste coming onshore last night, you can see the gusty strong winds as the eye was beginning to move in. you see the dark pictures here, notice the theme, all of these pictures were before the storm hit. all night-time videos from 12 to 13 hours ago. i don't have daylight video to show you from the acapulco area.

they can't assess the damage because a lot of the highways and roads are blocked. the military saying the airport is unuseable. here's the airport. notice where the storm took that track. so the airport's unuseable. lot of highways and roads are unuseable. all communications have been cut off. there's daylight and people walking around stunned and trying to get help, food, water in some cases, we still have roughly about 300,000 without power. at peak it was half a million. >> given the extent of the damage, what made this hurricane so hard to prepare for, what are officials focusing on now to limit the damage? >> it was a forecast failure plain and simple. none of our computer modeling were showing this was remotely possible. they had 12 hours to prepare for

a major hurricane that's not enough time for anyone, this was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the mexico's west coast, 44 years since anything like this happened, we haven't had anything like this, let alone category 5 into a highly populated area especially with short notice. right now, we have to worry about getting help to the people that desperately need it. we haven't begun to see the tip of the damage from this storm and the thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people who are going to need help and aid as we go throughout the next couple of weeks. >> bill karins, thank you so much. it's been nearly three weeks since hamas took more than 200 hostages from israel and since then only four have been released, very little is known of the rest. >> the loved ones are demanding more be done to set them free

and now they're asking the world to take action. stephanie, you were outside the united nations where many of these families gathered. >> there's a lot of frustration actually specifically with the u.n. just generally as you said, it's day 19. they have very little information about a lot of these families clinging on to what are terrifying kidnapping videos as hope that their loved one might still be alive and they don't know where they are, they don't know if they're sick or even alive. so they're calling on not just the israeli government the u.s. government, they're calling on the world to increase the pressure on ha mras, i had a chance to speak to a few of them. one lives here in the u.s., six of her family members were kidnapped on october 7th. this is what she had tosay. >> what is each day like for you and your family. >> it's excruciating.

every morning i wake up and i cry as soon as my eyes open and it dawns on me again we're still here, we're still in this purgatory. >> purgatory she describes it. her cousins and her cousins' children are among the hostages. >> a vigil of empty shoes symbolizing the many hostages. >> yes, it was an organized event yesterday with a number of different jewish groups, on the scene to put pressure really on the officials to do something about it. >> ambassadors from all over the world were inside the u.n. discussing gaza and the conflict, has anything come out of those discussions? >> secretary of state blinken was in there as well calling on the world, echoing those cries, calling on the world to step up the pressure, but there was controversy because the secretary-general gutteres stood

up and he said this didn't happen in vacuum and it was translated by some officials from israel as a kind of defense of what happened on october 7th. the families were supposed to meet with the secretary-general yesterday and did not because of those comments. the secretary-general came out today again to say they were misinterpreted, that wasn't the point of what he wanted to say. >> stephanie gosk, thank you for that. for more on the hostage crisis, let's bring in dan o'shea. dan, thank you for being with us. let's start with the negotiations to get these more than 200 hostages released, qatar and egypt seem to be the key mediators with hamas.

can you give a sense of what might be going on behind the scenes here? >> well, there's likely direct negotiations between hamas and israel they'll be doing it through intermediaries. qatar seems to be playing the role of switzerland here, hamas spokesman headquartered there. there's obviously representatives from nongovernmental organizations like the red cross who are on the ground in gaza, will be doing back-door communications. . this all happened in iraq when i was there for two years, behind the scenes conversations but we never had rarely ever direct negotiations back and forth. but it was always through intermediaries, people with connections on the ground, but again, it's not like sitting across the table between two nation states and that's why

there's not a lot known about it. getting the two groups of hostages out so far, that's how it was done. >> if they can't negotiate a release, then what has to happen? rescue mission by the israelis to find those hostages, we have heard there are tunnels underground, one of the hostages, an elderly woman said it's like a spider web down there, how does that add to complexity of a potential rescue operation? >> to be frank i've been tracking this industry for the past 20-odd years and we had challenges before and we pulled off hostage rescue missions in iraq, afghanistan and syria, but nothing like gaza, gaza is densely packed. and critical to a rescue mission is you have to have a stealth thy assertion, we can assume that hamas has armed guards standing over these hostages. if all hostages are being held in the tunnelling system, we

haven't seen something like that since vietnam, trying to go into a tunnel to rescue hostages adds a level of complexity, a hostage rescue mission, either rescue all the hostages and bring them home alive if not it's seen as a failure. >> i want to ask beyond the hostages, does hamas have any other bargaining chip in negotiations with israel here? >> the only bargaining chip they have world opinion and they're using the hostages to leverage that and that's it. >> dan, important analysis. thank you for sharing your insights. how to help kids to navigate the risks of social media. coming

in today's modern parenting a big development in debate over how social media impacts young people. >> we first told you about this yesterday, more than three dozen states sued meta alleged the company hooked teens on platforms like facebook and instagram. the attorneys general claimed the platforms have negatively impacted mental health among

young. >> i've been speaking with teens across the country now to ask them about their relationship with the phones. how much of your mental health is tied to using the phone or screens? you see a connection there or not? >> not so much now, but when i was younger i was more impressionable to what i would see. i was down on myself then. >> what were you seeing. >> people with filters. >> all perfect. >> fake and per perfect. >> it wasn't getting good sleep because i was scrolling. i have seen someone go down a rabbit hole with mental healthish shies. >> talking them from high school outside of new york city. they were honest which is great.

>> angela, i what tonight ask you for your legal opinion, not just opinion but your analysis about these lawsuits we're talking about, explain the argument legally they're making, these states' attorneys general and could it hold up. >> the argument is not just that these apps are causing harm to teens, it's that first they did the research to understand exactly how devastating they are to teens and then instead of mitigating that damage to teens or disclosing the risks they doubled down to make the features even more addicting causing more harm and essentially lying at it to parents and claiming their apps are safe, at the end of it's a consumer protection lawsuit brought by attorneys general across the country. >> that's what they're seeking, what could the penalty be for

meta? the lawsuits we're talking about is focused on meta, but attorneys general came for tiktok not long ago, could this open up the floodgates for other social media apps. >> yes, absolutely, these states are seeing an epidemic among teens, who's in the best position to solve this dilemma, certainly not us, we're going to put that potential liability on the apps. in terms of actual penalties, each state has different penalties and they're associating penalties with each time a minor access the apps. 22 million teenagers right now on meta, the penalties are enormous, they're just trying to shift the financial responsibility to the apps themselves. >> again, way tonight note that meta, i've talked to them all day yesterday they really dispute the claims in these lawsuits and they're fighting and they'll file for a motion to dismiss the whole thing i

suspect. donna, let me ask you about what, what parents can do, we noted again that meta disputes but they point us to 30 parental tools, 30 tools on their apps that exist and we share the attorneys general commitment to providing teens with positive experience and they've got a few tools, quiet mode, that's a good tool in the sense that you turn off the notifications, so kids can turn off notifications during school, during homework time when they need to be mindful about stuff. but then there's the take to break, you can say, ten minutes of scrolling, they'll notify me
