13th, 2024. out on strike, more than 30,000 boeing workers are on the picketlines today. why they say they walked off the job and what it could mean for travelers. race against the flames, three massive wildfires raging in the hills of southern california. thousands of homes are at risk. why there's new hope that crews may finally be able to gain the upper hand. scare on the field, the dolphins star quarterback suffers a terrifying concussion during the game. it's at least his third during his nfl career. why calls are growing now for him to retire. and taking care of business, how does working less and getting more done sound to you? an expert breaks down how you can make it happen, starting today. happy friday. we begin in california where fire crews are racing to contain three serious wildfireses. they have burned more than 100,000 acres combined. the line, bridge, and airport fires have forced thousands of

people to evacuate, destroyed dozens of homes. firefighters have made some progress on the airport fire looeding to some evacuation orders being lifted. liz is tracking all of it from los angeles for us. people are getting a chance to go back to their communities. what are they seeing when they get there? >> reporter: some are returning to their possessions gone. in other cases, their homes were spared. you know how it is. fires have so random. one home will be standing and the next one burned to the ground. tens of thousands of people across these three fires do remain evacuated now as firefighters continue to try to fight these fires. the line fire is burning dangerously close to some ski resorts. one of those resorts actually activated their snow machines to try to keep the fire away and to save their property. the good news is that the weather conditions have really improved. it's much cooler than it was early theier in the week.

the humid sit ty has gone up. the winds have die down. that creates better conditions for firefighters to try to get the upper hand. >> i want to ask about that incredible video we were showing yesterday on the show. it's a barefoot woman hurrying away from the fire. she was saved by that fire chief, who pulled up. i know our nbc news team spoke with the chief. what did he have to say? >> reporter: it's a harrowing video to watch. it had to be terrifying for that woman who are had severe burns and was in pain. thankfully, she's okay. our colleague spoke to the chief, who was luckily there at the right time and place to rescue her. he's what he had to say. >> what did she say when you finally scooped her up? >> she was in a lot of pain, screaming, yelling, just wanted help. >> wow. >> i told her we got it. i'm taking you to get you

transported. >> reporter: there's been a few injuries in these fires like that woman there, those burns. thankfully, so far nobody has died. that's the silver lining considering how dangerous and fast they come. >> liz, thank you. we are now hearing from pop star justin timberlake after he reached a plea deal for driving while intoxicated on long island. the he was pulled over in the hamptons last june. police say he drove through a stop sign and into the wrong side of the road. he addressed reporters and expressed regret about what happened. >> i try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself. and this is not that. >> nbc news entertainment correspondent khloe has been tracking this one for us. good to see you. we both got the memo today.

>> friday the 13th. >> can we swap bodies? >> what does this plea agreement entail? and what more did we hear from timberlake himself today? >> he seemed incredibly sincere and remorseful. this is the first time he's addressed it. this was part of the plea agreement. the judge said you had to give some sort of a public service i announcement. he also has 25 to 40 hours of community service. he has a little over $700 to pay in a fine. and for those out there that might be thinking, he's a celebrity, he got off easy. let me point out a couple things. he's a first time offender. i have been speaking to a legal analyst here who says that this is not uncommon to strike a plea deal of this nature when it's jr. first time getting in trouble. if he did something like this again, got behind the wheel of a car after what he says is just one martini, he didn't do the breathalyzer at the time, butt arresting officer said he failed

the field sobriety test. he said take an uber. take a taxi. i was wrong. i should have done better. >> timberlake said that. $700 for him feels like maybe not a lot of money for him. the mega star. i wonder about that piece. he's on tour right now. he's on a world tour. i was looking in new york. you can still get tickets for $100 for his upcoming shows here. does that mean they are not sold out? what's up? >> that's such an interesting question. a lot of artists have had trouble filling concerts. we have seen it this summer. we saw people like j. lo cancel tours. the black keys, we don't know if it was lackluster ticket sales. justin timberlake, he's my generation. i'm 38 years old. some of the younger kids, i haven't been to one of his concerts, i don't know who the demographics is.

i love his music. i would say he's doing okay. he's back on tour at the end of this month. and actually, i was at the last hearing where he appeared virtually from belgium where he was on his international leg of his tour. they scheduled this court hearing today around the tour because he has this kind of lull. we'll see him back september 28th in newark and other tour dates along the way. according to outlets, he wanted to reach this plea agreement because he wanted to put this behind him. >> thank you. appreciate it. more than 30,000 boeing workers are on strike significantly disrupting production of some of the company's most popular aircraft. an overwhelming majority of union machinists rejected boeing's latest contract offer. the last time boeing factory workers walked off the job was in 2008. boeing has faced a number of setbacks this year. federal authorities are still investigating the door plug blowout on that boeing aircraft

in january. in july you remember the company pleaded guilty to felony charges related to the deadly 737 max crashes overseas from a few years ago. and just last week, boeing's starliner returned to earth without the crew that it was originally supposed to bring back. auto and airline industry reporter phil lebeau joins me from washington. you have been speaking with union workers. what are they demanding and how is boeing responding? >> reporter: they are adamant they are going to stay on strike for a long time unless things change in terms of what the company is offering. the contract that was offered to them that was greated to by union leadership and boeing leadership, that contract called for 25% raise over the next 4 years. the rank and file said that's nowhere close to what we're looking for. they want 40% over the next 4 years. their feeling is they did not get much during the last

contract. they got a 4% raise over 8 years in the last contract. they want to make up for not getting what they felt they should have received on the previous deal. so as a result, they are adamant they will stay on strike. here's what a few of them had to tell us. >> with the wage increase of the 25%, it sounds good, but they haven't been increasing the wages since 2016. the cost of living here has skyrocketed. >> how long are you prepared to stay out? >> as long as it takes. as long as it takes. this is my third strike. i know it can go on for a couple months or more. if it does, so be it. >> reporter: by the way, when you look at the history of machinist strikes with boeing, they are not resolved quickly. in fact, the last four went anywhere between 40 days and 69 days. so they believe they could be on strike for awhile. and if that continues, let's say the strike goes beyond a week,

week and a half, if we're talking six weeks, you're really going to see the financial pressure mount on boeing. today two credit rating agencies warned the company would have its credit rating downgraded. they are not far from junk status. that's the concern that is in the corporate board room for boeing. >> i'm also thinking about if it goes on and on, we're getting into the holiday season. big picture, does it mean anything for travelers? could air travel be impacted if they can't get boeing planes? >> reporter: no, because you've got the aircraft in service has already been scheduled for the holidays. it's not like new aircraft are needed in order to take up the additional people who will be flying. so that won't be impacted. but i'll tell you what. two biggest customers are southwest and o'ryan air. both have plans to take in more 737 maxes as they grow their routes the rest of this year and into next year.

they are going to want those plans. it won't be long before we hear from them. >> phil bow, thank you lebeau, thank you. time for the money minute. lead has been found in cinnamon and spice products and pink floyd is close to selling its music catalog. steve joins us. >> a new consumer reports shows lead in 12 brands of cinnamon and spice powders. the levels were higher than those new york state uses for recalling. the consumer nonprofit said two of the flag brands, which stopped selling their products and removed them from stores. also united airlines is planning to offer wifi powered by spacex's starrlink for free. the carrier says it expected to have the service on over a thousand planes starting next year. the deal is the biggest for spacex for in-flight internet.

and sony music is reportedly in talks to bite rights to pink floyd's songs for just about $500 million. that's according to the financial times. the band's catalog include some of the best-selling hits including "wish you were here." they are in talks to buy the rights for queen's music for a billion dollars. it already brought bruce springsteen's catalog for $550 million. >> that's a big business. steve, thank you. still ahead, just as we head into the cooler months, value deals are set to heat up. where you can find the best bargains. plus former president trump says he's not interested in says he's not interested in debating vice president kamala i was stuck. unresolved depression symptoms were in my way. i needed more from my antidepressant. vraylar helped give it a lift. adding vraylar to an antidepressant

is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain, and high cholesterol may occur. movement dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects. stomach and sleep issues, dizziness, increased appetite, and fatigue are also common. side effects may not appear for several weeks. i didn't have to change my treatment. i just gave it a lift. ask about vraylar and learn how abbvie could help you save. rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from

rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94% effective in those with these health conditions. (♪♪) arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. arexvy is number one in rsv vaccine shots. rsv? make it arexvy.

the white house this hour. just 53 days now to go until election day. now former president trump is dipging in saying he will not commit to another debate with vice president kamala harris. trump is in california today. you see him courting big-ticket donors at one of his golf courses and speaking to the press there. it comes as two law enforcement officials tell nbc news that justice department is planning to file criminal charges into the investigation of the hack of trump's presidential campaign. it's unclear right now who exactly might be charged.

the fbi has said that iran was behind an effort to steal e-mails and to offer internal trump documents to news organizations. so far, none of the material appears to have been published. garrett haake is with us covering the trump campaign in california. then we have correspondent julie sirkin in pennsylvania. garrett, a lot to talk about today. the former president's false claims about migrants are becoming an issue for his campaign. and also today his running mate jd vance said that haitian migrants are spreading diseases in his home state ohio. can you just fact check and tell us what the response is to those claims? >> reporter: on the latter claim, there's no evidence of what jd vance is describing. this is sort of a recurring pattern for donald trump, who has tried to make the issue of what he calls migrant crime central to his campaign and links his two favorite issues,

immigration and the border and crime. the challenge for him is the numbers do not currently tell the story he wants them to tell. border crossings are down, violent crime is down. trump has combined the issues. that's what led him to this town of ohio where he was spreading lies about immigrants. he talked much more general terms about the same population before an audience of only reporters. >> in springfield, ohio, 20,000 illegal haitian migrants descended upon a town of 58,000 people destroying their way of life. so people don't like to talk about it. even the town doesn't like to talk about it. >> reporter: donald trump does like to talk about it. i expect we haven't heard the last of this story. we'll see how he continues to modulate his telling of it. one final fact check. the haitian migrants are in this country legally. >> hold on one second let me

check in with julie. you covered congress. the former president said he won't do another debate. but some key the allies on the hill are saying he should. >> reporter: that's right. i spoke to a number of republicans who have been in the former president's corner all this time, and they said that he needs to do another debate. mostly privately, as garrett knows covering congress and the trump campaign, he doesn't always do well when he's controlled wit with others. he certainly wants to make his own mind up here. you heard trump say he did well at the debate. he doesn't want to do another one. his allies on the hill don't think that's true. they think he could have been stronger. he floated into conspiracy theories. some of them pushed by his own vice president. he didn't stay on message when it comes to immigration and the border. things that the democratic hand has historically been weaker on than republicans. they want him to have an opportunity to go on that stage

and make the case once again. he says, however, two debates are enough. the first was against president biden. and certainly, they believe that harris came away by far the winner of that performance. >> vice president harris raised a lot of money since the debate. her campaign is saying $47 million. what's the case with the trump campaign? for. >> they are not under any obligation to release fundraising numbers. when they have good numbers, they like to brag about them. we have not heard anything since the debate. we'll get their numbers at the end of the month and the end of the quarter. what that tells me is that trump is here today in california for fundraisers in l.a. last night, san francisco today, california not a battleground state. but they are playing catch up in the money game right now, which is not a situation you want to be in in mid-september of your election year. >> julie, you're aware kamala

harris is. >> she's trying to cut into some of those margins we saw trump run away with in terms of rural communities. her campaign releasing high-level proposal saying broadly they want to invest in these communities here. a lot of them are still pushing her to release more concrete detail when is it comes to her policies. but she's going to be here in a couple hours in pennsylvania in a county that went to former president trump by 14 points in 2020. so clearly, she's trying to make end roads here. >> garrett haake, thank you. >> garrett haake, thank you. >>two young> ♪♪ missing out on the things you love because of asthma? get back to better breathing with fasenra, an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks. fasenra is not for sudden breathing problems or other eosinophilic conditions. allergic reactions may occur. don't stop your asthma treatments without talking with your doctor. tell your doctor if your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.

i'm kris sanchez. we are following breaking news in san francisco right now. san francisco police say they are investigating an officer-involved shooting at the powell street bart station. we want to show you some video. we got earlier. nbc bay area sky ranger over the scene, and you can see the station is closed off. trains are running through the area, but they are not stopping at that station. it is not clear what led to that shooting at this point. it's not clear if there are any injuries, but we do have a crew at the scene working all the angles you can head to nbcbayarea.com for the latest updates, but stay out of the area if you don't have business there. election day is now 53 days away, and former president donald trump is headed to the bay area to try to refill

his campaign war chest. nbc bay area's bob redell is in palo alto, where his supporters are starting to gather. reporter the bay area obviously is home to vice president kamala harris, has a strong reputation for traditionally voting democratic. but these trump supporters, who are lined up here in palo alto, they want the former president trump, when he shows up here to know that not everybody here in the bay area is a harris supporter and that he has their vote and support. there are dozens of trump supporters say at least 100 that have been standing outside here along the el camino real, across from the stanford shopping center, waving trump flags, wearing shirts with trump's mug shot. now, this rally was organized by a conservative group called moms for america, which wants, in their words, to stop the sexualization of children in schools, which has been a false conservative narrative that the former president has been promoting. these trump supporters plan to caravan to

woodside, where the former president will hold a private fundraiser later this afternoon. we're in california and there's it's more of a liberal state, but there's so many of us that are conservative and we just appreciate trump. now, across from these trump supporters, there have been a few palo alto police officers just to keep an eye on the scene to make sure it was peaceful, which it has been, and nearby them on their side of the street. there were a handful of kamala harris supporters. you can see that former president trump is not looking good. you know, he didn't look like he's well later today, she campaigns in pennsylvania counties that trump won in 2020. trump's private fundraiser is set to happen early this afternoon, not far from here in woodside, at the home of tech ceo tom siebel here in palo alto, bob redell. nbc bay area news. also, north

bay schools are closed today because of threats of violence. the tamalpais union high school district says around 730 this morning, the office got a threatening text message. immediately, the district evacuated the staff in the building and closed all five campuses. they told parents not to bring the kids to school. police are still working to clear all of those schools and determine if that threat is credible. the company, formerly known as twitter, is officially exiting its san francisco offices. that is according to a memo that elon musk reportedly sent to all ex-employees two weeks ago. earlier this year, you might remember that he announced plans to relocate operations of x, along with his southern california based space x to texas. twitter first launched in san francisco 18 years ago, but musk more recently posted numerous comments slamming the city of san francisco, along with california's economic climate. so far, x has not issued any official comment about today's

closure, but it's starting to get warmer today as we head into the weekend, meteorologist kari hall has a closer look at what to expect. happy friday to you! we are going to see temperatures warming up for the inland valleys a little bit more so than yesterday with upper 80s and low 90s concord today, 91 degrees 88, in santa rosa, while san francisco will be in the mid 70s and half moon bay stays in the 60s going into the day tomorrow. it's also going to be mild and very comfortable for much of the day, but there will be some spots. still pretty warm for this time of year with upper 80s in livermore, while martinez will see a high of 82, also 82, in novato and in the low 70s for san francisco. these temperatures come down even more on sunday, but this comes with more wind and clouds. we'll take a look at our 7-day forecast to see what's ahead. coming up next. thanks, kari. that does it for this edition of the fast

inefficiencies that threaten food safety. they said in a statement they had identified their processing as the source of contamination. they started to recall lunch meats back in july after hospitalizations were traced back to meats produced at that plant. the company says it's perm innocently discontinuing liver worst and implementing new food safety and quality measures. the fda authorized the first ever over the counter hearing aid software that can be used with apple's air pods. apple said its air pods pro 2 earphones can be transformed into a personalized hearing aid by boosting specific sounds in realtime. the features will be available this fall for users in more than 100 different countries and regions. and body camera video, look at this, it captures the moment a texas police officer rescued two young children from a house fire early tuesday morning. >> you okay? >> thank you. >> two officers responded. you see them take the ac unit

out of the window and get out those kids. there was a report of a fire. they pulled the 9 and 11-year-old boys to safety after dislodging that air conditioner. by the time crews arrived, flames were shooting out of that same window. so both children were taken to the hospital and expected to be okay. a scary moment during "thursday night football." miami dolphins quarterback left last night's game against the buffalo bills. he suffered yet another concussion after a nasty collision with damar hamlin. it's at least his third documented concussion in just the last three seasons. nbc news correspondent jesse kirsch is live outside hard rock stadium. tua's latest head injury has people urging him to retire. what's the latest on his condition? >> reporter: this isn't the first time this has been discussed around him. as you mentioned, he had two concussions confirmed in a span of a few months in 2022.

and it ended his season early the last concussion he had that year. on the latest today, we heard from the head coach of the dolphins. he said he had not yet been able to speak by phone with tua today. so we don't have an update on his condition. the head coach said he did not expect that the star quarterback would be playing in the team's next game. so that is about as much information as we have. the nfl, though, has him now in the concussion protocol, which by the way, has changed because of one of his prior injuries. you can see that image there. that's the head coach kissing his quarterback's head as the two walked off the field together last night. i asked the head coach what he said to tua in those moments. here's what he shared. >> i told him he's the starting quarterback of this family. and to go in the locker room, take a deep breath and i'll see

you soon. >> reporter: an emotional thing. it's not just a business when you're trying to win football games. clearly, a bond for people involved with this organization. it's a tough thing to see for people who certainly know the player personally, not to mention all the fans watching in person and on national television. >> for sure. it was a shocking moment. so in an effort to reduce head injuries, i know the nfl is letting players wear the guardian gaps during games this year. it's a protective device that fwoez over the helmet. talk about the caps. are we seeing players wear them? >> reporter: yeah, there's been players reportedly wearing them in the preseason. some committed to saying they are going to wear them during the regular season as well. here's the bottom line. technology, whether it's a cap like that a helmet, that can only go so far. i spoke a short time ago with a concussion doctor. and one of the things you have to understand is what's going on in a concussion also involves what happens with your brain inside of your skull. so you can have all that

technology in the outside, but there's still issues going on inside of your head. and that is something that you cannot change with that kind of technology necessarily. the researcher telling me, bottom line, you want to limit these hits and try to figure out a way to avoid that. that's how you limit those injuries. >> we're just about to go deep on that. thank you. we're going to talk more in today's daily health. i want to bring in dr. shae, the codirector of the nyu concussion center so we can pick up right where . jesse left off. it doesn't take an expert to look at that lit hit last night and think that's not great. that looked like a really hard hit. if you were his doctor just to start, if you were, would you be advising him to quit football? >> that's a very direct and pointed question. certainly, very concerning because of the fact that there was some posturing of his arm,

possible loss of conscientious. being this is his third documented concussion and maybe he's had more, i think once we evaluated him more medically, just by watching a hit, you can't make that determination. >> you're not his doctor. but if you had a patient like that, what would you be saying? >> i would be very concerned for the long-term effects of these multiple concussions, what symptoms, if any, he's having now. and whether or not he's able to be completely healed prior to going back in the game. because that actually lowers the set point for a concussion if you get hit again. >> meaning your more likely to have one. can we talk about the long-term concerns when people are hit multiple times. what are the long-term concerns? >> long-term concerns can disrupt spine and the brain.

you can get post-traumatic migraines. over time, maybe more memory loss. certainly, we have seen the more sort of severe cte sort of concerns. over time, that doesn't even come until decades later or years later after these type of hits. so it's certainly something that needs a team and an expert in brain injury to focus on. >> the nfl is now allowing these caps that we were showing a minute ago. it seems like not every single player, from what i could see, not many players are wearing them during the regular season, but a lot wore them during training. would this have helped last night if the quarterback were wearing that? >> this is a way to gather a lot of nice data. we're going into the ai phase of many industries. this is the way to gather data and perhaps give them proper

information, if you will, to take someone out sooner or see the force of the impact. but it's certainly not going to prevent them. it's going to give them more information on how to do the next play or going into something if they see a player is always in the line of fire, maybe put them in a different place. >> it gives more data, but it doesn't stop the concussion. >> right. >> dr. shae, thank you for coming in. >> my pleasure. fall the is right around the corner, but it seems the summer of value war deals are not going anywhere. there are bargains to be had through the winter. senior business correspondent christine roman has the details. >> at chains across the country, dining out is in. ♪♪ >> reporter: fast food

in today's mental health check, here's something a lot of us can relate to. we get to work and ready to have a productive day, but the calls start rolling in and there are the nonstop messages, e-mails, the slack channel and the meetings that could have been done by an e-mail. suddenly it's time to log off and we barely got anything done. if that sounds familiar, our next guest has tips on how to work less and get more done. love the sound of that. joining me is the author of "slow productivity."

cal, good to see you. in your book, you say that our definition of productivity has to change. what do you mean? >> we focus too much on a definition centered on activity. doing more things is better than doing less. we need a definition focused on results. what are you actually producing that's valuable. >> so how do we become more productive without working more? >> one of the big problems we have in our current moment the is we do too many things. the administrative overhead of each of our obligations begins to pile up. and our time left to actually accomplish the underlying work goes down. so paradoxically, doing too much means we're going to accomplish less. doing less means we might accomplish more. >> we got some things on the screen that you shared with us. go through a few of the tips. what real practical tips on how to use our time more wisely.

>> one simple idea. have office hours. regular time each day where people who have a question that you otherwise would have just talked about in slack or e-mail back and forth can show up and talk in realtime about it. another idea is add 15 minutes to the end of each meeting so you can actually process and write down and make sense of everything that was just discussed clearing your mind to move on to what comes next. >> it's funny because "the wall street journal" just had a report out on how some banks are curbing young banker's hours because there were so many complaints about being overworked and people were staying until 10:00 at night. is it a cultural thing where if you feel like you have to be there for many hours to be productive and everybody around you is staying at the office late, does that create a culture? >> it is cultural. it's a culture that's called sooud productivity. let's use visible activity as our main proxy. if your culture is sue do productivity, you'll want to

work more hours because that's the only way to prove you're valuable. we have to break that culture. >> what can employers do to help, to get their workers to feel less overwhelmed and be more productive? >> i think two things can make a difference. one, have time for those no meetings aloud. so people can actually make progress. and two, keep track of how many concurrent projects or big objectives people are working on and don't let that list get too long. keep workloads reasonable and people can execute that work in a reasonable amount of time. >> last quick question. four-day workweek, super buzz sit. what do you think? >> i think if you embrace a slower notion of productivity, that works fine. if you embrace sooud productivity, four-day workweek is going to be terrifying. activity being your main measure of usefulness, it would be

terrifying. >> so it's about using it well. and a four-day workweek means like eight hours a day, four days a week. we're not talking about longer days. >> exactly. so if we're looking at results, a four-day workweek could be fine. if you're looking at busyness as your marker, the reason why a four-day workweek is terrifying to a manager is it will seem like you're doing less. once you switch results, four days might be more than enough. >> i hope you're right. i love everything you're saying. it makes sense and tracks with it makes sense and tracks with my life here at nbc news. protect against rsv with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. arexvy is number one in rsv vaccine shots.
