today, thursday, september 19, 2024, breaking news. flaring tensions. israel and hezbollah trade fire after days of deadly explosions and hand held devices across lebanon. back on the trail, former president trump holds his first campaign event since the apparent assassination attempt in florida. and vice president harris getting ready for a big rally tonight with oprah winfrey. we're following both campaigns. dollars and cents. what does yesterday's interest rate cut actually mean for your bottom line? an expert offers his two cents on credit cards, mortgages, and how to make the rate cut work for you. and one step ahead. one remarkable runner defying the odds, taking home medals in all semiconductors of the world's most renowned marathons. he's also the first runner who is deaf to do it. >> when i'm running, i don't

feel disabled. >> zinhle's going to show us how he is redefining that sport one step at a time. cannot wait for that story from zinhle overseas. we begin with the breaking news. israel's military says two of its soldiers were killed in the back and forth today. the military also says it struck hezbollah targets inside lebanon. those strikes came just five minutes before a speech by hezbollah's leader. he says the device blasts the last couple of days could be a declaration of war. there are no reports of new device explosions in lebanon today. at least 37 people, though, have been killed by floating pagers and walkie-talkies since tuesday. thousands more have been hurt.

international correspondent josh lederman is with me now. josh, this has been another day of escalation in the region. what more do we know about the israeli strikes against hezbollah? >> the military says they were striking military infrastructure and capabilities inside lebanon, not only using air strikes but also artillery. a senior official tells raf sanchez that israeli ground troops have not entered lebanon. in other words, this is not the start of a feared israeli ground incursion into lebanon. but clearly the israelis trying to keep hezbollah on their toes. as the hezbollah leader was giving a speech in beirut today, israel flew fighter jets low over beirut. the sounds of those sonic booms ringing out across the city. it remains a very tense situation and no signs from either side of any effort of deescalation. >> we mentioned today so far there haven't been device explosions. but it's worth noting that these

are explosions that have happened with civilians around, right? even if they say the israelis are targeting -- they don't say that, but many people think they were targeting hezbollah. what do we know about the scene? what are we hearing from people in those situations where those explosions hands? >> well, you're right. there is a lot of question right now about whether it is accurate to call these precision strikes targeting hezbollah that is embedded in the civilians, given the fact that so many civilians were injured as well. we're talking about thousands of injuries in hezbollah. the hospitals are packed. we spoke with a chief doctor at the american university in beirut medical center, where they said they had about 150 patients there doing surgery on people's faces, on their eyes, on their hands. in the meantime, people are terrified, kate. think what it would be like in the u.s. if people's pagers and walkie-talkies start exploding. there are reports of people tossing their cell phones from motorcycles because they don't know what might blow up next.

>> josh lederman, thank you. new information from the fbi and other government agencies revealing how far iranian hackers allegedly went in trying to influence the 2024 u.s. presidential election. last week, two law enforcement officials told nbc news the justice department plans to file charges over the iranian hacking of the trump campaign earlier this year. and now the agencies say that those hackers went a step further, sending stolen material from the trump campaign to the then biden campaign. iran has denied the accusations of meddling in the u.s. election. let's bring in justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian. ken, federal agencies, they're saying that this stolen information was sent, as i said, to the biden campaign by email. what happened next? >> kate, the biden/harris campaign said that they were unaware that this material was sent until the fbi contacted them. and three law enforcement officials we talked to supported that story and said they had no

evidence that anyone from the biden/harris campaign even opened these emails. they may have thought they were spear phishing attempts. we all get these emails all the time we don't recognize. it's unwise to open them. they did not. the fbi also says the iranian hackers continue to try to peddle the information to news organizations. so far, no news organization that we know of has published any of it. >> the state department spoke earlier about the iranian hacks. let's listen to a part of that. >> concerning set of behaviors by iran, which is why we have committed to exposing those actions publicly. >> ken, what are your sources saying about how exactly the federal government plans to hold those hackers accountable and stop this from happening, this interference in our elections? >> it's a real challenging, kate. accountable is an elastic term. there are plans to file criminal charges, but the people charged will be overseas and out of the

reach of u.s. justice. the thing that the u.s. may do to hold iran accountable, we may never find out about. and it's, sort of, an ongoing game of deterrence between our intelligence agencies and theirs, kate. >> ken dilanian, thank you. former president trump has said he will visit springfield, ohio, focusing on a community dealing with bomb threats. springfield has been the subject of a false claim that haitian immigrants there are eating pets and wild life. the former president and his allies continue to push that narrative. last night, community members came together for a rally supporting the haitian community in springfield. nbc news correspondent shaquille brewster is there in springfield. shaq, the springfield bomb threats focused on schools and businesses. you've spoken to the parents.

what are they saying about the threats and the national attention their hometown is getting? >> reporter: the word that keeps coming up in conversation, kate, is fear. people keep saying they're scared. and you understand why. since those unfounded rumors were spread on the debate stage earlier this month, you're seeing this wave of threats. you mentioned it's targeted schools. it's targeted city buildings. just yesterday it was a grocery store and walmart. and when you talk to people, especially the parents of the youngest ones, the elementary school that was evacuated just last week, you really get a sense of the struggle that they're dealing with. one parent telling our team at dropoff this morning that he didn't know how to explain what a bomb threat was to their 6-year-old, but the 6-year-old picked up on the fear and the tension in the school. i want you to listen to some of the other conversations that we had this morning. >> i really feel bad for the haitian children because they're here for an education.

they come from a country that's in chaos. and they just want a normal life. >> the lie that people are putting out there, that's not true. them people did not eat no cats or no dogs. that's a lie. >> even when we go to the store, it's an eerie feeling. and we never had that problem here. >> you have local officials up to the governor of this state continuing to say that these claims are not true. not only are they unfounded, but they've since really been debunked. you have the mayor using the word that these claims are a lie at this point. and despite that, you still have them being repeated all the way up to the vice presidential nominee. there will be a town hall meeting later today. we'll see how that ends upturning out. but officials saying they just want their community back, kate. it's time now for cnbc's money minute. boeing is furloughing tens of

thousands of employees, and movie studio, lion's gate, has a massive a.i. deal. hi, julia. >> hi, kate. the boeing ceo announced the company will temporarily furlough employees as it deals with the machinist strike last week. one week of furlough every four weeks, which will continue for the duration of the strike. lion's gate plans to start using generative a.i. to create movies and tv shows. the studio signed a deal with an. i. startup in which lion's gate will give access to its content library in exchange for a custom a.i. model production. use of a.i. in hollywood was a major issue during the writer's strikes last year. and chipotle is giving away up to $1 million in free quesadillas in honor of national quesadilla day coming up next week, with several events,

including a scavenger hunt on social media. and to celebrate the day, customers who order through door dash and uber eats will get a free quesadilla. >> julia, thank you. still ahead, she wanted to go to target, she said, so she went to target. this is dash cam of an 8-year-old girl who got behind the wheel of a car. the wheel of a car. e didsh my moderate to severe crohn's symptoms kept me out of the picture. with skyrizi, feel significant symptom relief at 4 weeks. many people were in remission at 12 weeks, 1 year, and even at 2 years. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to. liver problems may occur in crohn's disease. ask your gastroenterologist about skyrizi. ♪ control is everything to me ♪ abbvie could help you save.

let's turn now to the race for the white house. we are just 47 days now away from the presidential election. both former president trump and vice president harris are on the trail today. trump will be participating in an event on fighting anti-semitism this evening in washington. that comes after thousands of people came out for a rally last night on new york's long island. harris, meanwhile, will be in michigan tonight for a live stream talk with oprah winfrey. let's bring in nbc news white house correspondent mike nonely and dana burns is with me in the studio. mike, i'll go to you first. oprah, about as big a name as you can get when it comes to celebrities. what is the campaigning hope to get out of that event with her, with the vice president? >> we've seen what a difference it's made in terms of the energy and enthusiasm among democrats since kamala harris replaced joe biden at the top of the ticket, drawing crowds five, 10, 20

times as big. they think that star power from oprah, years since she ended her highly rated talk show, will draw in a lot of people who may still be up for grabs in this election. they say there have already been 200,000 people who have rsvp'd to watch these live stream events on multiple platforms. they expect surprises in store during the course of the program. this is one where they will reach voters, trying to take the message to voters up for grabs at this point, and doing so in a swing state, michigan, of course. >> he held a rally last night on long island. for people that don't know, that is a more friendly audience for him. but new york is not a swing state. new york has gone blue for decades and decades. tonight he's holding an event where they say he's going to talk about fighting anti-semitism. what's the strategy? >> they haven't really changed

their strategy very much between fighting against biden versus now against harris. they feel they're trying to make them one in the same in the eyes of voters. he was in new york, had some republicans scratching their heads a little bit because the race is still tight in places like pennsylvania, north carolina. that is an area where there are competitive down ballot races that could control the house. he could have given a little bit of a boost to those candidates there. the strategy, sort of, remains the same. he's not bringing in oprah, continuing to try to bring in some rappers and kid rock and others that have been trump friendly for a while now. >> i want to turn to a strange issue in arizona that came up today. this is our affiliate in tucson, spoke with multiple people who suffered eye injuries after attending a trump rally last week. what are we hearing? >> our affiliates interviewed some of those folk who is say as they were driving home from the event, started to feel serious

irritation in her eyes. one of the women went to the e.r. the nurses and doctors were asking her if she was sprayed by something. she didn't recall getting sprayed by anything. the trump campaign did give us a statement. they said that the campaign has been collecting information. we remain commitmented to countless -- people that were seated behind the former president in the vip section of the stage. >> we'll track that if we hear any more. thanks to you both. music mogul sean "diddy" combs will remain behind bars until further notice. yesterday a federal judge denied his appeal to be release frd pretrial detention. the billionaire music mogul pleaded not guilty on tuesday to sex trafficking and racketeering charges. prosecutors allege that combs created a criminal enterprise that included violence and coerced sex parties.

chloe -- has been on the story from the very beginning. chloe, the federal detention center where combs is being held is the only one in new york city. combs' lawyer cited horrific conditions and violence there, and part of the argument he was making that combs should be out on house arrest, which got denied by the judge. what do you know about where he is? >> kate, this jail is notorious. it's the metropolitan detention center in brooklyn. and it has housed some very famous inmates in the past from michael cohen to ghislaine maxwell. and there are a lot of issues with this jail. some individuals have killed themselves. there have been murders, overcrowding, food contamination. and his legal team said in a motion that they filed to the court that they felt as though this was not adequate fair pre-detention facility for combs. they're hoping to transfer him to essex county, new jersey. they're also concerned about him being able to prepare for trial

because this metropolitan detention center, he might not have access to library and computers if he is not housed with the general population because of his celebrity housing in a separate area, which could make it difficult for him to prepare for trial, which could be a year from now. >> there's so much interest in this story. when is the next time we could see combs in court? >> the next court hearing, the first one in this case, is october 9th. you're going to see a lot of discovery, motions being filed, and several hearings leading up to this. i talked to laura jarrett, one of our legal analysts and correspondents here, and she said sometimes they can take a year or more to get to trial. kate, you and i have covered harvey weinstein and other big cases, and we know it can take quite a bit of time to get to that point. i do believe there will be new developments as this goes on. the u.s. attorney's office did say they are not ruling out the potential of arresting other individuals. remember they did call his

business a criminal enterprise, and that's how he was allegedly able to hide the behavior for so many decades. >> thank you. still ahead, take a look at this, one sheriff's deputy risking her own safety to climb into a moving car to help a driver in crisis. what happened next and how that driver's doing now. you're watching "nbc news daily." we also stream 24/7 on nbc news now. you ca watch us whenre you'll find them in cities, towns and suburbs all across america. millions of americans who have medicare and medicaid but may be missing benefits they could really use. extra benefits they may be eligible to receive at no extra cost. and if you have medicare and medicaid, you may be able to get extra benefits, too, through a humana medicare advantage dual-eligible special needs plan. call now to see if there's a plan in your area and to see if you qualify. all of these plans include doctor, hospital and prescription drug coverage. plus, something really special,

governor newsom signing bills focused on addressing homelessness and the scarcity of housing in the state. billions of dollars will be available to fund permanent supportive housing. nbc bay area's ginger conejero saab has more from san francisco. a press conference with governor gavin newsom wrapped up not too long ago here in this housing complex in the mission. the focus of this press conference, 32 bills that focus on reforms in housing, seven of which were signed into law. now these bills focus around addressing homelessness, preventing and ending the crisis, creating housing accountability specifically at the local level, streamlining

the production of housing, creating transparency, efficiency, as well as other protections for housing. there are also a couple of bills that focus on tribal housing that are part of the comprehensive housing package. now let me share some numbers that were shared by the governor and his office. there is a specific number of units to be built that will measure success for governor newsom. that number, not a small one, 2.5 million units by 2030. that is to address and help the 181,000 californians who experience homelessness in 2023, approximately half of which 90,000 were unsheltered. this morning, governor newsom was joined by assembly member buffy wicks and timothy grayson, attorney general rob bonta, san francisco mayor london breed and members of the carpenters union were here as well. the governor spoke extensively on why reforms matter, why accountability is so important. the reason we put $1 billion up is there was support.

there's a framework. you don't get the money unless you resolve the underlying issue in the first place. you get the money because you actually have to identify the needs of the individuals that are being displaced, which means you actually have to provide support for them. and once you provide that plan, we then provide the money. now, one of the new laws, specifically this morning frees up proposition one funding for new homekey housing that specific law will set is set to create more than 4000 new permanent housing units, paired with mental health and other services. half of those units are reserved for veterans with behavioral health needs. now, the governor added just before the press conference wrapped up, that you will see his commitment to reforming the housing crisis in his budget in 2025. in san francisco, ginger conejero saab nbc bay area news. also, mayor london breed in san francisco is doubling the city's shelter goal. mayor breed made a five

year plan last year, with numerical goals for shelters and housing. the model showed that the city needed at least 1000 new shelter beds by 2028. but today, the mayor said the city is set to reach that goal sometime next year. so now the city will double its shelter goal and add more permanent housing options. uc leaders are downplaying a vote by regents that's happening today. it's to possibly approve providing campus police with military grade weapons and ammunition. some questioned the timing, especially in light of recent protests, which shook up some uc campuses. as of 2021, state law requires all law enforcement agencies to publicly request approval for new weapons and ammo. but students say uc police do not seem ready to do so. in part, a statement given to today in the bay, the uc office said, quote, this is a routine agenda item that is not related to any particular incident. ucpd equipment is not military

surplus, nor is it military grade or designed for military use. the university's police departments do not use equipment from the u.s. dod. let's switch gears now and talk about our weather. we are seeing warmer summer like temperatures. let's hear more about it from meteorologist kari hall as we take a look at our thursday's high temperatures. it will be in the upper seconds and a couple of low 80s on the map with san jose reaching a high of 77 degrees. and we'll see a high of 82 in concord and antioch and in livermore will be in the upper 70s with mid 70s for hayward. we'll also be in the mid 70s for redwood city, palo alto, 77 degrees and daly city. a cool 63 degrees. also in the low 60s for the marina district. while downtown san francisco will hit a high of 6772 in mill valley. and expect that high temperature of 79 in santa rosa in ukiah. it's already starting to warm

that person allegedly fired shots on a highway. where was the body discovered? why do authorities believe it is the suspect? >> kate, according to the investigators, that body was discovered not too far from the shooting scene there in laurel county. the voices you hear on this video, fred and sheila mccoy. they live about an hour away. but i spoke with them just moments ago, and they told me they've been searching for joseph couch for the last six days. why did they go out and start searching for a man police say was armed and dangerous? they wanted to help the community. take a listen. >> you have a coward here that shot five people out here on a cliff for no reason whatsoever, and this whole community -- and even though i'm retired, i've got the time to go out here and look. i've had -- i've got back issues, but i -- it was worth it. >> that was fred mccoy. he also told me that $35,000

reward for information leading to couch was also an incentive. meanwhile, authorities say the mccoys will receive a portion of that reward but not the full $35,000. kate? >> so, where does the investigation of the shooting go from here? >> police say it's still an active investigation. the motive, however, is something we may never know. we do know about 30 minutes before that shooting about two weeks ago, couch sent a text message to a woman saying in part, i'm going to kill a lot of people, will try, at least. he also sent another message saying n part, i'll kill myself afterwards. investigators say they did find a weapon near the body. they are still waiting for dna testing to confirm that this is, in fact, joseph couch. but they also found items associated with couch near that area. a sigh of relief for people in that community after state

police were searching for nearly 12 days using helicopters, drones, and dogs, kate. >> all right. adrian, thanks so much. some remarkable video to show you out of michigan. take a look at this. a sheriff's deputy helped stop an out of control car on a highway while it was moving. she was able to leap through the window and help the passenger, who was having a medical emergency. nbc news reporter maya eaglin is here now with how all of this went down. maya, it is incredible. >> it really is. this unbelievable video was released from the mccone county sheriff's office in michigan. two of the deputies turned on their lights to try and pull over a car, but when it didn't stop and was moving about 5 miles per hour, they knew something was wrong. the two sheriff's deputies involved told me that they noticed the driver was unresponsive and seemed to be suffering from a medical emergency. that driver was somehow able to roll down the window of the car, and that's when nicole, who was

sitting in the passenger side of the patrol car, climbed into the car through the window and was able to bring it to a full stop. take a look. >> stay there, stay there. stay there. >> wow. maya, that's incredible. i know youke to the deputies involved. what do they tell you? >> they told me that the 63-year-old driver who was in that car is doing well. he was taken to the hospital and recovered. take a listen to some of how they are also processing all of this. >> honestly, it was so natural and normal, it didn't feel like anything too crazy at the moment. the car was going -- it was 5 miles an hour, a decent speed, but at the time he kind of hit

the brakes. i was able to jump over in perfect time. we were a little bit overwhelmed, but, i mean, to us, i don't feel like it was just -- it wasn't crazy for us in the moment. but after the fact, looking back, we looked at each other like, you know, my god, i can't believe we just did that. >> a lot of bravery, but they both said they were just doing their jobs. >> to reiterate, the driver is okay? >> the driver is okay. yep. >> maya eaglin, thank you so much. let's talk now about the price you pay and the moment many americans have been waiting for. the federal reserve, as you know, as lowered its key interest rate by half a percentage point. it's the first interest rate cut since the early days of the pandemic. how will it impact your wallet, and does it change where you should put your money or anything you should do? joining me now is editor and chief of "investopedia." i want to talk about four different areas, if we can, that affect people. we'll start with credit cards. people that have a high rate

right now, can they expect the rate to go down, and when? >> credit card aprs will be coming down. they're a little slower than a lot of the things we finance. the credit card companies are in no rush to bring them down. you're going to be getting flooded in your inbox with offers to consolidate your debt, then pay lower than we've been paying, which is around 21, 20%. know that's happening. and if you have a lot of credit card debt and you have multiple credit cards, this could be an opportunity as the rates come down, consolidate with a lower apr card. >> should you wait a while? >> it depends what you have and where you have it. rates are coming down. by the end of the year, the fed expects rates to be 4.4% for the fed funds rate, 3.4% by the end. >> talk about the housing market and how that might be impacted. advice to future buyers, advice to people that have a mortgage.

>> those that have a mortgage, under 5%. so, we're still much higher than that. if you're looking to refinance, you're going to wait for the rates to come way down. if you're looking to get into the housing market, you've seen the 30-year fixed come down. it was 7.8% about eight, nine months ago. so, it's already come down. when it gets into the 5%, it's going to get competitive in the housing market. make sure your paperwork is ready. if you're going out there as a buyer right now, it's going to be busy on those weekends. >> it already is really, really busy. let's talk about if you're in the market for a new car. is now the time to buy? >> if you need it. also new car loans, they're coming down as well. and boy do car companies want you to buy. there's going to be a ton of incentive. if you go to buy a car and get in the back room, negotiate because they have a lot of flexibility when it comes to those loans. and rates are coming down. walk across the street if you can't. >> i feel like that's always the story at car lots. >> be careful out there.
