over the weekend to the company's latest offer, but the membership has rejected that offer. boeing 737 and triple 7 production lines remain frozen. rank and file employees are angry over the way they've been treated in recent years. they are demanding better pay, and they want their pensions back. >> reporter: it's a major setback for america's aviation giant. nearly six weeks after walking off the job, members of the union representing more than 30,000 machinists voted overnight to continue their strike, which is costing the company roughly a billion dollars a month. 64% of the union members rejected boeing's latest offer, which included a 35% pay hike over 4 years. the union says, "we have made tremendous gains. however, we have not achieved enough to meet our members' demands.d originally asked for a 40% increase, and some workers upset the latest proposal did not include a

pension plan, which boeing scrapped ten years ago." it comes as boeing just reported a staggering $6 billion quarterly earnings loss. boeing's ceo on cnbc yesterday before the vote. >> this isn't going to be fixed in one fell swoop. we've got a lot of issues here that we're dealing with. the first thing we've got to do is stabilize the business, and obviously, getting through the im strike is the first big step in doing that. >> reporter: it's just the latest in a string of big setbacks for boeing, including that mid-air door plug blow out in an alaska airlines jet, leading to multiple federal investigations. in july, the company greed to plead guilty to criminal fraud charges tied to crashes overseas that led to 346 deaths. after the aircraft safety issues, boeing has said it is committed to change, slowing down production on the assembly line, as it puts in place new safety practices. but with the strike now

extended, the company is facing new headwinds. >> so, i mean, this is right now a boeing issue, but it's going to trickle down to airlines, and eventually consumers. when might we see effects? >> well, listen, boeing is way behind on delivering planes to airlines around the world. airlines bought these planes. they had made their scheduled plans based on when those planes would be delivered, and right now, very few planes are being delivered. and boeing is way behind. airlines are already adjusting their schedules for the spring and the summer. if they don't get the planes, they can't fly those extended routes. by the way, the ceo said yesterday the company may need to become leaner and eliminate less profitable units. there's open speculation that boeing may be talking about doing something with its space division, because as you know, that's another division, suffered a huge black eye because of the starliner spaceship with two astronauts stuck on the space station. >> we remember. tom, thank you very much. appreciate it. now to the race to the white house.

and crippled by kamala harris. a person that got no votes, no votes. therefore, she's a threat to democracy. >> reporter: that's as former trump officials and the harris campaign highlighted why they see him as an existential threat after mr. trump's former chief of staff, general john kelly, told "the new york times" earlier this week, "mr. trump falls into the general definition of fascist." vice president kamala harris responding at a cnn town hall. >> he's just putting out a 911 call to the american people. >> reporter: mr. trump blasting kelly as tough and dumb, saying, he made up a story out of pure trump derangement syndrome. the vice president, asked directly. >> do you think donald trump is a fascist? >> yes, i do. >> reporter: and later, reiterating that when asked about voters who might consider a third party because of the biden administration's handling of the war in gaza. >> for many people who care about this issue, they also care

about bringing down the price of groceries. they also care about your democracy and not having a president of the united states who admires dictators and is a fascist. >> reporter: mr. trump, for his part, ramping up the rhetoric. >> you have to stand up, and you have to tell kamala harris that kamala, you've done a horrible job. you're the worst ever. >> reporter: at the town hall, the vice president also pressed on immigration, asked about her past comments calling a border wall stupid when funding for a wall is part of a compromise bill the vice president often touts. >> is a border wall stupid? >> well, let's talk about donald trump and that border wall. so, remember donald trump said mexico would pay for it? come on. they didn't. >> it does call for $650 million that was earmarked under trump to actually still go to build the wall. >> i'm not afraid of good ideas where they occur. >> you don't think it's stupid anymore? >> i think what he did and how he did it did not make much sense. >> that town hall coming as mr. trump has declined to participate in a second debate,

trump again doubling down on the issue that has helped fuel his political career. >> the biggest problem to me is the border. >> reporter: and many voters agree with immigration trailing only abortion as the issue that would drive their vote more than any other, according to a recent nbc news poll. trump's plan starts with sealing the border. >> it's going to be the first order. it will be done in the first hour of the first day. >> reporter: the former president says he would resume construction of the border wall and reinstate policies like remain in mexico, which forces asylum seekers to remain in mexico while awaiting court dates. trump often deploying dark language when promising a mass deportation program to remove millions of undocumented immigrants already in the country. >> we will not be conquered. we will reclaim our sovereignty. >> reporter: trump has said little about how he'd pay for his plans or overcome opposition of a potentially divided congress. that challenge shared by vice president harris, who says her

border policy would include signing a bipartisan deal scuttled by congressional republicans at trump's insistence earlier this year. >> that would have put 1,500 more border agents at the border. those border agents are overwhelmed. >> reporter: harris also vowing to pursue more severe criminal charges against repeat immigration violators, and barring those who are caught crossing the border illegally from requesting asylum for five years. >> our system must be orderly and secure. and that is my goal. >> reporter: harris also leaning on her background as a prosecutor. >> i've personally prosecuted transnational criminal organizations in the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings. >> reporter: the vice president telling telemundo on monday, she still supports a pathway to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants living inside the country. >> we need smart, humane immigration policy in america

that includes a pathway to citizenship. >> reporter: the polls have consistently shown trump leading on the issue of immigration, although kamala harris has cut into that lead somewhat since taking over the top of the democratic ticket from joe biden. savannah, she'll likely have to cut into that lead much more to win in a place like arizona. >> garrett haake in phoenix for us, thank you. meanwhile, nbc news has learned the justice department has sent a warning letter to elon musk, the world's richest man, over those million dollar giveaways to registered voters in swing states during the final days of the presidential race. nbc's senior legal correspondent, laura jarrett, is here with that story. lawyer, ra laura, good morning. >> good morning to you. it all began with a modest offer of just $47 to voters in pennsylvania, but then, musk sweetened the deal with a lottery for cash that has now grown in size with terms that have caught the attention of the u.s. justice department. >> every day from now until the election, we're giving out a million dollar prize. >> reporter: elon musk's million

dollar giveaway is raising new legal questions this morning for the tech giant. nbc news confirming the justice department sent a letter to his pro-trump super pac warning it may be violating federal law. >> i have a surprise for you. which is that we're going to be awarding a million dollars to -- randomly, to people who have signed the petition. >> reporter: the super pac promising that prize money to people who pledge their support for first and second amendment rights, but in order to get the money, you have to be registered to vote in one of seven swing states, prompting legal scrutiny by some democrats. >> i think there are real questions with how he is spending money in this race. i think it's something that law enforcement can take a look at. >> reporter: the justice department has declined to comment, but federal law prohibits paying people to register to vote. the question, whether that law applies here, unclear, election law experts say. >> it's not as if he was paying people in order to register to

vote. it was more subtle than that. i think it's unlikely that they would prosecute this, but this is a shot across the bow. >> reporter: still, the super pac running an ambitious get out the vote, with musk himself pouring at least $75 million into the pac for trump, which has been posting these videos of people who have won the sweepstakes. now, it's unclear if the doj actually brings a criminal case against musk for this with voter registration in pennsylvania having already ended this past monday. now, we reached out to musk and his super pac for comment on all of this but have not heard back, and he has not posted on x about it. >> thank you, laura. >> sure. >> thank you. we're following new developments this morning as well tied to the war in ukraine. defense secretary lloyd austin confirming reports that north korean troops have been sent to russia for training and could be deployed to ukraine. nbc's chief international correspondent, keir simmons inside russia this morning and on that story. keir, good morning. >> savannah, good morning to you.

>> let's talk about food prices for a moment, thanksgiving just around the corner. any deals to be had, so to speak? >> walmart's going to come out with a really inexpensive thanksgiving menu bundle. inflation-free thanksgiving meal. i'm telling you, the retailers have gotten the message. we are so sick and tired of paying higher prices, so that serves eight for less than seven bucks a person. 29 items on sale for thanksgiving. aldi, they've done this the last few years. they're promising their prices will be less than 2019 prices for thanksgiving, so that's $4.70 a person for dinner for ten. so that's a -- you're going to see -- if you hunt around, you're going to see good deals for planning your meal around the season. >> holidays right around the corner. sheinelle just mentioned there. folks are going to be driving. what about gas prices? >> gas prices are coming down, and you have amazon saying for its prime members, if you go these certain places, they're going to give you ten cents off a gallon. so, that's significant. >> that's new. >> that's new, and that's significant savings at bp, amaco, and a couple other chains

for amazon prime members. costco likes to lead with its very cheap gas as well, and gas prices experts tell me should be below $3 a gallon nationwide bying thissing. so you're already seeing gas prices coming down. for those of us who will be going over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house. >> christine, you're our guru. you tell what you say to do and we do it. do we wait for black friday, or do we buy now? >> so, retail me not and a lot of other experts say there are things that are going to be cheaper on black friday and cyber monday, like tablets and computers and ear buds and gaming consoles and that stuff will be cheaper. but the everyday items, watch closely. because the everyday items are falling. prices are being cut one after the other. and when one retailer does it, others do. they learned we're so price sensitive now, we'll go across the street to another to get it. that's why you're going to see target and others really coming out with more deals.

>> thank you, christine. >> you're welcome. mr. roker, what you got? >> i got a free forecast for you. it's free, it's for me. that's what craig always says. got this system that's going to be making its way across the rockies and the plains. it's going to bring some snow to the rockies and upper elevations. showers and storms breaking out in the upper midwest. a severe threat from iowa to missouri. tomorrow, brief period of heavy rain in chicago, but as this system moves east, it dries out so we continue our dry october, and right now, the tropics, quiet. that's great news. however, we look into next week from wednesday into election day, we could be looking at some development from the atlantic all the way through the

survived the holocaust, and as spielberg reflects on 30 years since he made the movie and created the foundation, he says he is not looking back but rather forward at all of the work that they're yet to do. 30 years ago, the unimaginable atrocities of the holocaust played out on screens across the country in steven spielberg's epic historical drama, "schindler's list." >> whoever saves one life saves the world entire. >> reporter: the film changed those who watched it and even the man who made it. how often were there survivors on set? >> not that often, but when they came to the set, it was really profound for me. one particular survivor, she came to watch our scenes being shot, and then she said, but off much bigger story than the story you're telling of my life. in that moment, i thought, is she showing me a way to bear witness to this greatest tragedy

in human history? and is she going to be the light that shines the way for me to figure out how are we going to get more of her to talk about their experiences? >> that spark would become the shoah foundation. the organization created by spielberg dedicated to recording and sharing the stories of survivors of general sides. dr. robert williams is the executive director of the foundation. >> i can show you a document, showing the path of persecution of an individual, but then i can show you the testimony of the individual whose name is on that paper, and in doing that, your eyes open. >> reporter: among those stories of survival is that of now 93-year-old celina. at just 13 years old, she was the youngest female on oscar schindler's list, something she never spoke about until she saw spielberg's movie. >> we saw it for the first time, i fell apart. after we saw "schindler's list," see, we felt it was important to

give testimony. i always say, oscar schindler gave me a life, but steven spielberg was my second schindler, because he gave me a voice. >> reporter: since then, spielberg and the foundation have given voice to survivors of genocides all over the world, including those in rwanda, cambodia, and armenia, among others. >> it's very, very important to show the genocide continues to just be there, right often right where we can see it. >> reporter: last year, the foundation mobilized almost immediately to capture testimonials of survivors of the october 7th attacks in israel. >> we're talking about the largest act of mass violence against jewish people since the holocaust. we felt it was important to go to israel to meet with the survivors of the october 7th attacks so they could begin to share their stories now. >> reporter: the foundation and the film, marking a milestone and looking to the future. do you see it as the 30th anniversary or the beginning of the fourth decade?

>> i see it as the beginning of the fourth decade, because there is so much more we need to expose the world to, so many more true stories the world has to see. i want people to be able to hold hands and say together, there are certain things we must never forget. >> so, that 93-year-old holocaust survivor, she went from not talking to anybody about what she went through, not even her own family, to making it her life's work to tell the world what she experienced, and she and steven spielberg and the shoah foundation, they all feel that sharing these stories is critical to ensuring that history does not repeat itself. by the way, as part of those efforts, the foundation is racing against the clock to get as many testimonials from the less than one quarter million holocaust survivors who are still with us, and i just have the chills talking about it right now, to have that experience, to sit down with someone like celina and to know they're trying to get as many stories as they can before time runs out. what an important mission. >> it's also fascinating that spielberg's film about the holocaust has led to this foundation not just remembering

holocaust survivors. >> all types of atrocities. >> atrocities all over the world. >> it's remarkable what they're doing, and i think the bigger the foundation gets, the more they will have for history in order to document this for children for generations to come. >> so important and powerful. thank you, jacob. let us switch gears now. mr. roker is at his trusty post. what you looking at buddy? >> great to spark that kind of conversation. thank you, jacob. well, we got a fairly quiet day today. we got some strong storms over the northern plains. those will make their way through chicago tomorrow, but otherwise, we're talking record warmth, plenty of sunshine, much cooler northeast, midatlantic, new england, and sunny skies out west. that's what'going on around s
