i will see you tomorrow night on mng "nightly news" on saturday. you can reach me on twitter and instagram @jdbalart. thank you for the privilege of your time. lindsey rogers picks up with more news right now. ♪♪ good friday morning. i'm lindsey riser at msnbc headquarters in new york. get ready for a busy hour and mounting fall-out for donald trump after the fbi search of mar-a-lago. 3:00 p.m. eastern, four hours from now, is the deadline for trump's attorneys to oppose attorney general merrick garland's move to unseal the warrant authorizing the search. the doj has also asked to make public the property receipt detailing what was found at mar-a-lago. a post to the truth social skt, donald trump said he is encouraging the release of documents and won't oppose it. he is also throwing around the

word "hoax" and refuting reports there's a nuclear component to this. those details coming from "the washington post." people familiar with the investigation tell the post classified documents related to nuclear weapons were among the items agents were searching for. associates did not disclose any more details about the type of documents or if any were recovered. as the former president's allies slam the fbi and doj attorney general garland is pushing back. >> let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the fbi and justice department agents and prosecutors. i will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. the men and women of the fbi and the justice department are dedicated, patriotic public servants. >> you'll remember we shared a warning from the fbi director denouncing a rise in violent rhetoric towards law enforcement wednesday. now the director says he is

focusing on the safety and security of fbi employees in the wake of an attack in cincinnati. yesterday a man armed with an ar-15 style rifle fired into an ohio fbi office building with a nail gun, fled, and a standoff followed. his motive is still under investigation, but nbc news reports it appears he had been at the capitol on january 6th, and two officials say he appear to have posted in recent it days about his desire to kill fbi agents after the mar-a-lago search. >> more on that live from cincinnati. we will start with the new details related to the fbi search of smaurl. nbc's vaughn hillyard is in west florida. also, luke broadwater and barbara mcquade, a former u.s. attorney and msnbc legal analyst. ken, we know a subpoena in june preceded this search. the attorney general says he personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant of

mar-a-lago and he wants to unseal it. we are watching for the 3:00 p.m. deadline for trump's attorneys. what would be in those documents? >> so, lindsey, a search warrant has three main parts and we will see two of the three, assuming this is unsealed, which could happen really at any moment because trump is not opposing it. we will see the face page of the warrant, signed by the federal magistrate judge and may include a list of statutes implemented. in other words laws the fbi is investigating whether they were broken, and then we will also see what you call the property receipts, other people call it the inventory, the list of items that were seized. there are also attachments to that first item, one of which would be a list of the items that they were seeking. the real question in this matter because we are talking about classified documents is how detailed was the fbi when they wrote all of this stuff down. presumably they didn't list the names of classified documents or

classified programs, so the real question is how specific are they going to get. what will we actually learn from this? i'm told by a law enforcement official it will be somewhat revelatory. we will get a sense of how serious the investigation is and how sensitive some of the documents are. what we're not seeing, lindsey, is the affidavit of probable cause which is the document the fbi would file with the judge to sort of provide evidence that a crime had taken place, explain why they needed to do this court-ordered search. it might have the names of confidential sources in it. it would have the whole context and provide information about any other ongoing investigation that's related. we will not see that unfortunately, although nbc news is part of a consortium of news organizations seeking to have that unsealed, lindsey. >> okay. vaughn, donald trump throwing around the world hoax on his social media platform and he is raising more unfounded planting allegations, all while he says he is not opposed to the

unsealing of the mar-a-lago search warrant. what are you hearing as the clock ticks? >> there's a lot of questions within the trump team right now about what exact information they were looking for. in so many ways the operation around donald trump is smaller and more close knit than that of when he brought the documents down here, within the closing days of the trump white house in january of 2021 here. there are questions as to exactly the timelines also of when these documents were from, from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 here. when you are looking at ultimately what comes out, donald trump should be well aware of the documents that were taken by the fbi and the doj. that would, of course, be assumption because there is the subpoena this spring in which the department of justice sent to trump and ultimately several boxes of material were handed over to the department of justice on june 3rd, that donald trump and his counsel worked through. now the search warrant was ultimately executed and these

materials that were removed here earlier this week were documents that were not handed over as part of the subpoena request here. so the big question is what does donald trump know about those documents that were in his presence there and, ultimately, why did the department of justice feel like it was insufficient, the materials they received on june 3rd. again, donald trump has the search warrant, he always has a property -- he and his team have these documents. they've chosen not to publicly release them. so what we've seen over the last 12 hours is him shout through multiple statements that the documents should be released now. he could well do it himself and ultimately they've had several days of leeway to come up with a response on how they will explain these documents that were in his possession here at mar-a-lago after leaving the white house. >> barbara, i want to read some of the reporting about the nuclear aspect from "the washington post." classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items fbi agents sought in a

search of former president donald trump's florida residence on monday according to people familiar with the investigation. experts in classified information said the unusual search underscores deep concern among government officials about the types of information they thought could be located at trump's mar-a-lago club and potentially in danger of falling into the wrong hands. trump's attorney was asked about this reporting on fox news. this is what she said. >> is it your understanding that there were not document to our they of nuclear capabilities or nuclear issues that had national security indications in the president's possession when the agents showed up at mar-a-lago? >> that's correct. i don't believe they were, and if they thought they were -- >> well, do you know for a fact they were? have you spoken to the president about it? >> i have not specifically spoken to the president about what nuclear materials may or may not have been in there. i do not believe there were any in there.

>> barbara, first off, what do you make of that exchange? also, does this potentially spell more legal trouble for the president? >> well, absolutely. the exchange is interesting. i suppose the law, you know, is playing defense there. i don't know she is being perfectly candid about what she discussed with the president, would possibly violate attorney/client privilege. i don't know that i would take her for her word. i think she found herself on the defensive and her comments may be understandable for that reason. but if the former president possessed information about nuclear weapons, yes, it is a very, very big deal. i think it explains why the justice department went to such drastic means as a search warrant to get the documents back. if a person mishandles information that relates to national defense, which nuclear weaponry most certainly would, that could be a violation of the espionage act. despite its name it doesn't mean you are spying for another

country. it doesn't even mean you have to send it to another country. it is enough that you had an intent to harm the national security of the united states by mishandling national defense information. that's a ten-year felony on the table. we have to ask why donald trump would want this information. if it somehow showed up in his boxes of documents packed up in the early hours of january 20th and someone in their haste gathered too many documents and happened to throw this one in, which in light of its storage requirements seems highly unlikely, my gosh, you turn it over. once they subpoena it back, you turn it over. the idea that nine months have gone by and they have this document there's no reasonable explanation for that. that's a big development. >> what does their willingness to unseal this suggest to you?

>> the unsealing, as was said in the reporting, they're not unsealing the affidavit which would have the details about the investigation and the probable cause for a crime. but i do think it is an effort by the justice department to adhere to its norms, which is speaking only through its court filings, and pushing back against the echo chamber we are hearing from the right and trump's supporters how it was a weaponization of the justice department and completely unfounded and the like. i think if the public sees that a judge found probable cause and issued a warrant, there's a legitimate crime being investigated and there are specific documents they were looking for and in fact found some, i think thats a long way toward -- at least hope that reasonable people would be satisfied there was a serious law enforcement action to be taken here and it was not simply a witch hunt against donald trump. >> i want to talk to you about what we're hearing from the gop side. we know the house intelligence committee, republicans spoke

about an hour ago. congresswoman elise stefanik, a member of that committee and gop leadership spoke there. she also made these comments on fox this morning. let's listen. >> the statement by attorney general merrick garland is not nearly enough. the american people deserve to know the aspects and all of the facts. we do not know all of the facts. when he was the sitting president, he has the right to declassify any information. >> absolutely. >> there may be more information that comes out when we focus on the facts. >> lucas, this whole thing about how the president has the right to declassify anything he wants seems to be an evolution of the gop argument here. talk about republicans behind the scenes coalescing behind a message. >> right. they've had to shift their message some with this reporting about the nuclear weapons. when the story first broke it was an all-on attack on the fbi. i mean you saw very heated rhetoric against merrick garland

and the fbi. then you saw the attack in cincinnati and you saw the reporting about the nuclear -- potentially having nuclear documents. since then they've been shifting to now oversight, we need to do oversight of this agency. we need to -- he can declassify documents if he wants. interestingly enough, at that press conference this morning no one even expressed concern about sensitive documents being kept in an insecure location at mar-a-lago until reporters asked them about it. they said, oh, yes, of course we are concerned about that, but we are also concerned about fbi overreach. i think the republicans do want to follow donald trump's lead, but his slide lead is shifting as new evidence comes out about this. they are spinning their wheels trying to figure out how best to respond and still defend donald trump. they're calling on merrick garland to release things but

donald trump can release these very documents they're calling on merrick garland to release. >> that's very interesting as well. they're saying we need more information, they're demanding more, but at the same time it is against doj policy to do anything like that and at any time trump could release the documents. we have to leave it there. thank you all. and still ahead, new details about the man police say fired a nail gun into an fbi field office in ohio. more on his apparent visit to the capitol on january 6th and his recent threats online. plus, a major shift from the cdc on its covid guidelines including a big change for kids going back to school. in just a few hours the house is expected to vote on the democrat's massive climate tax and health care bill. what it would do and how soon you could feel its impact, next. t switched to verizon's new welcome unlimited plan, for just $30.

today is really a glorious day for us.

we sent to the president's desk a monumental bill that will be truly for the people, the inflation reduction act. i commend leader schumer, did a masterful job in the senate, for his work to send the legislation to the president, to us, then to the president. sadly, for all the good that it does without one republican vote. >> house speaker nancy pelosi moments ago talking about the upcoming vote on the inflation reduction act. right now the u.s. house is in the first of three hours of debate on the democrat's sweeping climate, health care and tax package. it is all leading up to the final vote, expected sometime later this afternoon before it heads on over to president biden's desk for his signature. we are joined by robin farzad, host of public radio's "full

disclosure." sahill, first to you. how is this day going to pay out? >> lindsey, the bill is on track to pass the house of representatives in the next three hours. democrats have a very narrow majority, only four votes to spare but speaker pelosi is as good a vote counter as we have seen in the house. she believes she has got this. after that the house is enroll the bill as early as the day and once the senate signs it, it can go to the president as desk for signature. despite this going on, this is probably the biggest day of the joe biden presidency, major pieces of the party's agenda that appeared dead weeks ago are about to be salvaged. there are a few piece that the democrats are highlighting, starting with the fact this bill empowers medicare to negotiate drug prices. that's a huge deal. big pharma rarely loses on capitol hill and they're about to lose a big one today. there's a three-year extension of aca funding that would prevent premiums from going up. it would be the largest

investment the country has made incentivizing clean energy. finally, there are several hundred billion dollars of deficit reduction in the deal which moderate democrats are citing as a way to combat inflation. republicans are expected to oppose this bill unanimously. they say the title of the bill is deceiving, it is not going to reduce inflation and they're describing it as a tax and spending spree. >> robin, let's talk about that. what sort of financial impact can americans expect to see from this and how long before they see it? >> it is negligible short term in terms of the hit on inflation. even over the long run, even the medium term you see enormous unlocks in cost savings and medicare being able to negotiate drug prices. if you see some sort of escape velocity from our dependence on gasoline which everybody tasted this year and visited $5 a gallon, if we can worry not

about the price of fossil fuels because they are redundant, that's hugely inflationary in the long-term. i don't know what it does when dealing with cpi close to 9% to be honest. >> that being said, curt, how do you think americans will see the bill if their lives are not significantly impacted by the mid terms? >> well, i think that seniors are going to appreciate the fact democrats are taking the stand to keep their prescription drug costs lower. i think that voters in general will appreciate the fact that democrats tried to take a stand to keep the price of insulin lower. republicans took a stand for some reason to stand with drug manufacturers and big pharma. elections are ultimately about making the case to the american people about what we won't to do for you. republicans made it clear where they stand. they've taken a stand against veterans. they've taken a stand with china. they've taken a stand against seniors. they took a stand for big farm institute cal, drug conditions. this is the third big piece of

legislation we have seen after -- for the better part of a year the biden and democrat agenda was called dead on arrival, going nowhere, democrats were in disarray. here we have a historic winning streak joe biden and the democrats are on and we have something to tell the american people in november. all the republicans have now is just saying no to everything and i don't think you can beat something with nothing. >> sahil, you have in reporting on the impacts that private equity lobbyists had on the bill, specifically through senator sinema. tell us about that. >> it was all part of the last, final twists and turns of this piece of legislation. in the senate, senator manchin cut the deal with chuck schumer that eliminated a provision in the tax code called carried interest which enables fund managers to pay a much lower tax rate on their earnings, on their income than salaried employees. it has been widely criticized, this tax break, but democrats

needed all 50 votes to eliminate it. they appeared to have all 49 voeds with the exception of sinema. once it was released, lobbyists sprang into action and reignited the fight to keep this tax break. kyrsten sinema publicly took owner of it, even though moderate democrats argued it is a perk for wealthy people that should not be preserved. let's have a listen to what one of them, larry somers, the former treasury secretary had to say. >> i don't really get the argument at all for why people who work for a living and earn their living by doing investing for other very wealthy people should pay taxes at half the rate that the rest of us do. >> now, as for sinema i reached out to their office. they said sher goal is to preserve growth in her state and

she makes the decision based on what is good for her state. >> another sticky issue for house democrats was lack of reform on state and local taxes. we have been hearing a lot about s.a. l.t. which is what it stands for. some wanted the bill to repeal the $10,000 cap on federal deductions for these taxes. what does that mean and how much of a difference would that have made for some americans? >> oh, gosh. you see so many people that moved from high-tax localities in california and new york and suddenly have become avid floridians. we have covered it before. you will see a lot of the gamesmanship continue. it is frustrating. you see on an international level with janet yellen they're trying to normalize taxes and taxation across developed economies. it is vexingly hard to do among states where you don't have agreement. i'm still amazed actually they got the buy-in of sinema and joe

manchin. what prompted joe manchin to stop gaslighting the rest of the party. what did chuck schumer walk in with and he was like, yeah, i'll go for this, i'll sign my name on it in 2022. >> tell me, robin, again, the s.a. l.t. tax because it wasn't included in this bill, what it would have done. >> can you hear me, robin? all right. we lost him. all right. sahil, go ahead. >> mostly americans in high tax states like new york, anymore energy and california would have been able to deduct more on federal returns for state and local taxes, it is a big deal in states like new york and new jersey where taxes are high. it mostly hit upper earners in blue states but also middle income earners in places like long island where property taxes are high and the main asset for people is their home. this was a demand of eastern democrats and some in california as well, but, ultimately, many of those democrats in places

like new york and new jersey have found their way to yes on this bill. they say it is a good bill and pelosi's message to them is judge the bill for what is in it, not for what is not in it. >> sahil, thank you for jumping in there. thank you all. what we have learned about the armed man killed by officers after he attacked an fbi field office. his online posts and what he apparently did on january 6th. plus, a major change in the cdc's recommendation for what kids should do if someone in their class tests positive for covid. what it means for back to school next. t it, and some people can get it bad. and for those who do get it bad, it may be because they have a high-risk factor - such as heart disease, diabetes, being overweight, asthma, or smoking. even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your risk of covid-19 turning severe. so, if you're at high risk and test positive - don't wait - ask your healthcare provider right away

we are learning more about the man who was shot and killed by officers after firing a nail gun into an fbi field office in cincinnati and leading police on a chase. law enforcement sources tell nbc news he was armed with an ar-15 style rifle. two officials familiar with matter identified him as ricky schiffer. officials say according to photos it appears he was at the capitol on january 6th. he also appears to have recently posted threats against fbi agents. these posts came shortly after the fbi searched former

president trump's mar-a-lago estate. nbc's shaquille brewster is on the ground in cincinnati. joining us is nbc news senior reporter ben collins. shaq, first to you. what are you hearing from investigators? >> reporter: hi there. well, the fbi is saying the entire incident is under investigation and they're calling it an agent-involved shooting. it began yesterday around 9:15 a.m. when they say that man wearing body armor walked up to the visitor's screening center. think of it essentially as a checkpoint outside of this fbi field office, and he fired a nail gun at personnel. now, no one was injured but it did activate an alarm and then that's when he started waving an ar-15 style weapon before he fled. he was discovered by state troopers a little bit later. he led them on a chase and that's when you had the six-hour long standoff in a cornfield about 30 miles from where i'm standing right now. investigators say there were negotiations that were under way, there were shots that were exchanged between the suspect and officers. and when officers went in to try

to acquire the suspect, that's when he raised his rifle and he was shot dead. right now fbi is going through the entire timeline. they're working with state and local authorities to see that -- to define and help build their investigation, and we are also hearing from the fbi director who is saying that the security of his personnel is top priority and saying that they are assessing the posture at field offices like the ones that we have that's behind me right now because we saw the increase in threats in the wake of that search of mar-a-lago by the fbi. but as we're getting more information, it is looking more and more like this man was inspired in part of those threats that we saw after that search, and this is what officials suggested that they were fearing earlier in the week as those threats continued to grow. lindsey. >> ben, what more can you tell us about shiffer's apparent online rhetoric. >> it is part of the online

threats. he was on social, trying to be talked down weirdly enough on truth social, the platform owned by trump media company, owned by donald trump. you know, he told people he was going to kill fbi agents on site. this is after a week full of i would say relatively mainstream talk about not just defunding the fbi but calling them the gestapo on places like fox news, saying they must be stopped and reined in, all of this stuff. in extremist circles, in militia circles they've been talking about how it is the start of the civil war and how they are the enemy basically. so the reason he brought a snail gun was to try to get into the building to kill more fbi agents. it obviously did not work. that's not how bullet-proof glass works but that's what he wrote after he fled the scene in cincinnati at that cincinnati field office. if he got in there, it could have been a lot more dangerous and a lot more deadly yesterday. >> ben, what's the reaction been like since all of this went down

on some of the forums that you watch? >> yeah, they're calling it a false flag obviously. they say that this was, you know, a plant by the fbi, all that stuff. they do not take credit for this sort of thing. they do not take credit for the violence because they would have to look inward and maybe stop calling for violence constantly, maybe stop selling tee shirts based on threats of violence. hopefully it will tone down a little bit after this, but i honestly doubt it. the cat is out of the bag in terms of calling for the deaths of federal agents. >> shaquille brewster and ben collins, thank you both so much. kids can stay in the classroom if they've been exposed to covid. that's according to new guidance from the cdc, just in time for back to school. the new guidance relaxes the recommendation to quarantine once exposed to someone positive with the virus, but still recommends that they mask for ten days and test on day five. joining me to talk about it is

the senior scholar for johns hopkins center for security. we know parents want their kids in school. there have been negative remotes from remote learning. with all of that said, do you agree with the guidance? >> i do agree with the guidance. i think it reflects the strides we have made in minimizing the effects in children, all of whom are eligible to be vaccinated. this is -- that is ever going to be zero, that we always have some covid-19 risk. we want to figure out ways to reduce the harm of the virus while still allowing school to operate. i for one am in favor of what the cdc has done in this guidance. >> what would you say to parents and families though who are really nervous about sending their kid back to the classroom, knowing it is all especially honor code if somebody is exposed that they're going to wear a mask? there are so many complexities with this also. what do you tell parents who are really nervous about some of

these changes? >> make sure that your child is vaccinated. that's the best way to protect them against severe disease. the problem we have with schools is not enough children got vaccinated because their parents didn't permit them to be vaccinated. i think it is more parents wanting to get the vaccine that's holding schools back. i think it is also important to remember that many school districts haven't been following the cdc guidance for some time and this is sort of the cdc kind of recognizing that and then integrating how far we've come with medical countermeasures in terms of rapid tests and antivirals and mon clonals and boosters and vaccines, that i think we have to start thinking about covid-19 the way we think about other respiratory viruses. i think we are finally there in terms of the tools we have. we have more tools for covid-19 than any other respiratory virus. >> both inside and outside the classroom the cdc says people no longer need to socially distance six feet away from each other. we've been doing this for years now, doctor. it will feel strange. i know we all, you know, have encountered close talkers and

we're like, all right, whoa. it sounds like now health experts are saying, all right, you don't have to be so far apart. do you think that's the right approach, especially when we are still seeing an average of 100,000 cases a day? >> i think it is important to remember this virus won't be eradicated or eliminated. as long as there are humans on the planet there will be covid-19 on the planet and our guidance has to reflect how far we've come in making covid-19 more manageable, something that can't threaten hospitals the way it once did. once you have a vaccine-preventable disease, where they can have rapid tests to know their statd status, have antivirals, have moan owe clonals, all of that has to be looked at with what the virus poses. i think the cdc guidance is reflecting the real-world ability of people to risk navigating with the tools science has provided us.

>> you know, we reported the biden administration plans to offer updated boosters in september as we keep seeing the new variants. who should get that? >> the first people that should get the updated boosters are going to be people at high risk for severe disease. that's still the primary purpose of the vaccine, is to prevent severe disease. immunocompromised, eltderly people, those are the people that should be lining up on day one. whether or not it is beneficial to people in the lower risk group i think we need to wait and see. we know the updated boostersby crease neutralizing antibody of antibodies against ba.4, ba.5, but do they do it enough to prevent infection. that's an open question we have to see data. but generally people that are high risk, those are the individuals where boosters should be targeted. >> doctor, we just learned that polio has been detected in wastewater in new york city. we knew that a man in rockland county north of the city had tested positive for polio, but does this mean that it is possibly circulating more than we realized?

>> these vaccine-derived polio strains make a distinction. it is not a wild polio which is just in afghanistan, pakistan, it is one derived from the vaccine used in many parts of the world. it is a problem because there's still not enough people vaccinated against polio. if you have enough people vaccinated against polio these circulating strains don't have the ability to cause paralysis. i think it is not surprising it is in new york city sewage water because it is in rockland being sewage water which is adjacent to it. we know, for example, going back to the measles outbreak that occurred in 2019, 2018, there are large swaths of the population in new york city, in rockland county, new york, that don't have high enough vaccination rates and that's why it is an issue. i think it is not something that should be occurring. polio is a disease we have beaten back with the vaccine and these vaccine-derived strains should be no issue for a country that was adequately vaccinated. i fear we have seen the anti-vaccine movement make major inroads into the population and this is the new norm, that we

will see issues that shouldn't be issues in a country that has access to vaccinations. >> dr. amesh hijedl, thank you for covering the topics with us. liz cheney's closing message to voters. plus, pennsylvania senate candidate john fetterman is back on the trail for his first rally since his stroke in may. what this means for the closely watched race against dr. oz. ct e to see some old friends, explore new worlds, and to start screening for colon cancer. yep. with colon cancer rising in adults under 50, the american cancer society recommends starting to screen earlier, at age 45. i'm cologuard, a noninvasive way to screen at home, on your schedule. and i find 92% of colon cancers. i'm for people 45+ at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your provider if cologuard is right for you.

country. it is a door donald trump opened to manipulate americans to abandon their principles, to sacrifice their freedom, to justify violence, to ignore the rulings of our courts and the rule of law. >> a new university of wyoming poll shows cheney trailing her primary opponent by nearly 30 points. >> we are following a burst of activity in the closely watched pennsylvania senate race between lieutenant governor john fetterman and celebrity tv doctor mehmet oz. fetterman is set to hold his first campaign rally today after he was sidelined by a may stroke two days before the primary. oz formally challenged fetterman to five debates. nbc news national political reporter mark caputo has more. mark, what is the thinking here and the timing behind oz's challenge here? >> timing is as you labeled it, right. this is when fetterman is back

on the campaign trail after a stroke, and it is sort of done to highlight the fact that, hey, this guy is recovering from a health scare. is he up for the job? now, the problem for us that he has is it is considered bad form to attack an opponent over his health, so they're not ostensibly doing that. they're saying hey, we're challenging you for five debates. yeah, it is kind of coincidental it is on this day. the fact of the matter is that fetterman was really sidelined by this, and in the first days in which this happened his campaign didn't always put out very accurate information. they blamed the doctors for that as to his condition. it is true in a crisis, you know, a health crisis such as this it is difficult to kind of know the prognosis. but now he appears to be pretty fully rehabbed. he is ready to take the stage. we will see how well he is able to interact and speak. the fetterman campaign has done a good job on social media, especially twitter. >> let's talk about that. >> yeah. >> because they've been incredibly active online.

in fact, i want to play one of the viral ads featuring snookie trolling dr. oz here. let's play that. >> i heard you moved from new jersey to pennsylvania to look for a new job. i want to say best of luck to you. i know you are away from home and you are in a new place, but jersey will not forget you. i just want to let you know. >> tell us about the strategy and how effective it has been. >> well, it has been effective in part because the media has talked about this quite a bit. there's been a lot of great, glowing profiles about their social media use, and rightfully so. at the same time it had the quality of a bright, shiny object, right. if everyone is paying attention to that they're not paying attention to fetterman's health. in the videos released of fetterman speaking when he was able to regain his power of speaking more lucidly there are rapid cuts done to stitch together his speech into a cohesive hole. the republicans have been been

complaining about this, the fact that the news media is covering snookie and the fact he wasn't able to speak in an extended fashion more than 30 seconds. those questions or criticisms will be answered or challenged now that fetterman is on stage at this public event. eventually he will be on stage in some form or fashion at one of the five events. oz made an offer of five debates. usually the front-runner will say no, i will do two or so. i don't expect him to accept all five. four of the five are standing debates which can be grueling. >> their for catching us up to speed on this race. we will be watching closely. appreciate it. water levels in one of germany's most important rivers are dropping and dropping fasts. wildfires are forcing thousands out of their home in france. we will have more on the latest heatwave that is scorching europe next.

>> reporter: it's really not that bad by american standards. it's 90 here. this is the same temperature in london is the same as mar-a-lago. that's freakish for people in london seeing florida-type temperatures. it doesn't happen here. not regularly. british people are getting used to it. this is only three weeks ago they had really those eye-popping headlines, maximum record breaking temperatures in london. over 104 degrees fahrenheit for the first time ever since records have been kept. we're not seeing those same superlatives now. think about it. for the last couple of months, we have seen unseasonably warm temperatures here in london combined with the fact that there haven't been rainstorms or real precipitation. that's why here behind me, you have a view of the city of london. if you look down below the river
