"nbc news daily" starts right now.

today, tuesday, october 22nd, 2024. breaking news. ceo sex scandal, the former top executive at abercrombie and fitch arrested on federal sex trafficking charges, the disturbing allegations just revealed by prosecutors. two weeks left until election day, how both candidates are working around the clock to try to win those votes in pivotal battleground states. seeing red? a child who rides a bus to school, the new tool designed by artificial intelligence. all patched up. meet the boy who survived a rare form of leukemia and is now spreading hope one patch at a time. today's good news story. i can't wait to introduce you to oliver and their whole team, it's a really inspiring story.

we begin this hour with breaking news, the former ceo of abercrombie and fitch. >> arrested this morning in west palm beach, florida, appeared in federal court this afternoon. he and two of his associates are accused of organizing a sprawling sexual assault. >> in a press conference this morning, u.s. attorney general said jeffries abused his position to prey on young people. >> to anyone who thinks they can exploit and coerce others by using the cast couch system, this case should serve as a warning. prepare to trade that couch for a bed in federal prison. >> joining us here on set is tom winter and nbc news legal analyst danny cevallos.

tom, what more do we know about the allegations involved here and what are we hearing if anything from the people involved the allegations center around this idea that basically jeffries and two of his associates would approach young men and said, look, if you would like a modeling job, attend some events. they were instructed even if they were unwilling to engage in certain sex acts in return for that they might have been promised a job, if they did not carry out those sex acts at these events, they said their careers would be hurt. that court hearing just wrapped up. jeffries will be allowed out on bond, 10 million bond. as far as the people involved in this case, his attorneys said,

they'll handle a plea at some point. they'll address the charges. one of his associates is going to be held pending the outcome of this. >> danny, prosecutors are saying they have substantial evidence, like travel records, financial records, victim and witness testimony, so what do you make of these charges. >> some of the ed that you just described is critical evidence to these specific charges, when you look at the indictment the two charges are identical to the charges against diddy, the man act, a very old law, a very strange law with a strange history, born out of some very racist ideals originally but now today in modern era is used largely to combat not transporting across state lines but for transporting across

state lines for prostitution, that's the key here. you have the tv pra, devastating statute, allows for both criminal and civil penalties. we'll see a lot of fraud and coercion and you see that in that indictment. >> danny, mike jeffries is no longer the ceo of abercrombie and fitch, but he was, could that company be liable in any of this. >> it could. the allegations in the indictment, it appears allegedly the former ceo would say, i'm doing this on behalf of abercrombie and fitch, the company itself if it's sued would likely counter he may have said that but that's a lie. and whatever he says is a

complete lie that abercrombie and fitch would be involved in this kind of crime that will not stop creative plaintiffs attorneys from filing suits. you'll see a similar thing like you saw in the diddy case, now i think you'll see some 1-800-numbers and civil suits by plaintiffs' attorneys who are going to ensemble lists. let's turn to the race to the white house. final sprint to election day, two weeks from today. >> former president trump is going to be in north carolina tonight in a last-minute rally. vice president kamala harris will be taping an interview with our hallie jackson airing tonight on nbc news now and nbc "nightly news." >> her running mate tim walz is with former president barack obama in wisconsin, where in-person early voting began today. mike memoli is with president

biden. mike, wisconsin is one of those blue wall states that democrats have relied on for decades to ultimately win the electoral college, new reporting that some inside the harris campaign see some cracks in that blue wall, what has them concerned? >> reporter: well, what we're hearing from senior officials on the campaign they're worried about these states, michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. they're particularly worried about michigan, because of the war in gaza has posed particularly vulnerabilities for them. two things notable what advisers are telling us, these blue wall states have all voted the same way since 1988. president obama won these states in 2012, 2008, president biden won all three three years ago. hillary clinton lost all three to donald trump in 2016.

i'm covering president biden today, as down as he was in the polls nationwide his team felt most confident about his status in those blue wall states, something particular where harris has been overperforming elsewhere, we'll see. harris will have an event with michelle obama in michigan later this week. >> garrett, so trump cancelled a planned speech that he had in georgia to make this event in north carolina tonight happen. does that say something about how critical north carolina is right now? >> reporter: i think it does, kate. no path back to the white house for donald trump that doesn't include north carolina, or at least not a simple one, his campaign has long believed that his best path to 270 electoral votes is to hold on to north carolina, which he won in both 2016 and in 2020, flip georgia back into the republican column a state where it has been for

most recent electoral history and tick off pennsylvania,esof prizes, that gets trump north of 270, without north carolina he has to find another state. north carolina and georgia are sort of tied for the second biggest prizes in terms of electoral votes after pennsylvania, you can't swap a north carolina for an arizona or a wisconsin. trump needs to do well here, he has won here twice and so i think there's a certain element that's personal for him not losing a state that he's carried in two previous contest and mike, talk to us about the celebrity, the vice president has been trying to pull from, bruce springsteen and two sources say eminem, too. >> reporter: playing "born in the usa" right now, voters in these swing states will see the real thing, bruce springsteen in

person. they're trying to get extra attention to these events for those voters who don't want to go to a campaign rally. it also helps fire up their volunteers, these final two weeks of the campaign are all about boots on the ground, getting volunteers, knocking on doors and they'll sign up a lot of volunteers to bring in some more bodies with these celebrities showing up events. a quick programming note, we mentioned hall jie jackson is sitting down with vice president harris that full interview will air on hallie jackson now tonight at 5:00 p.m. eastern, that streams at 2:00 pacific time on nbc news now. also, more at 6:30 p.m. eastern on nbc "nightly news" on your local nbc station. time now for today's money minute. walmart is starting to deliver

early voting under way in arizona and maricopa county, the most populous swing state, what matters most to some senior voters fits squarely at the intersection of climate and the rising cost of living. jacob soboroff reports on how it's driving some voters in this election. >> reporter: this year phoenix set a record, 13 consecutive days of temperatures over 100 degrees. >> this is a new unit. >> reporter: temperatures you can't ignore doing air-conditioning installation. >> the whole weatherization can cost anywhere from 15,000 to

like you. >> lot of people are in need of help, i thought maybe my social security would be a little bit more but it's not. >> does either vice president harris or former president trump connect with you more when they talk about what americans go through. >> right now, it's harris. >> reporter: mary cope ya county doesn't have a dominate political party. it's a mobile home community and right now it's 102 degrees, not even noon yet and what we're told about this place is a lot of the residents don't have a great ac if their ac works at all. michael leonard signed up for free weatherization services. >> they're replacing a water heater. recently michael got a free air conditioner, too. >> brand new. if you look at typical ones for

telling them not to vote and a consultant was charged criminally over that one. these celebrities are saying to people, look, don't be swayed by videos or audio, if you want information about where and when to vote go to your local secretary of state website, go to legitimate sources of information, because these deep fakes are out there, a new intelligence assessment today saying that russia, china and iran are continuing to try to interfere with our election with things like deep fake videos. >> ken, great reporting. thank you so much. stay with us. we'll be right back.

powerful, new set of eyes on the road, thanks to bus patrol, a company using artificial intelligence in school districts from pittsburgh to providence, to catch drivers in the act. here's how it works. every time the bus makes a stop, its cameras are rolling. and bus patrol's artificial intelligence is watching along. so, if a passing driver breaks the rules, they're caught on camera. and reported to police. >> he could have stopped. two, three, four, five. >> reporter: officers review video footage confirming violations. >> this person will be receiving a citation. >> reporter: before teaming up with bus patrol, miami-dade p.d. issued fewer than three tickets a month for drivers passing school buses. now, it's more than 40,000. we hopped on a school bus to see for ourselves how fast they can pile up. every vehicle has a stop -- this was our first simulated stop. >> they're all in violation. >> reporter: it's happening that quickly. >> it's happening that quickly.

>> reporter: sandra martinez, a miami-dade school bus driver for more than 20 years, says she sees this every day. >> are you going to stop, you can save a child's life. you know, that's a precious cargo. >> reporter: since 2000, more than 50 people have died, in crashes involving drivers illegally passing stopped school buses. almost half of those killed were pedestrians aged 18 or younger. the miami-dade program is only several months in. but bus patrol says its longer-term statistics are promising. >> over 90% of folks who get one violation in the mail never break the law again. >> reporter: bus patrol said they're working with school districts across 16 states. here this school district is not getting charged anything at the end of the day with this program because the cost of this technology is being covered by the fines that reckless drivers are paying. back to you.
