tv   Yasmin Vossoughian Reports  MSNBC  September 3, 2022 11:00am-12:00pm PDT

11:00 am
hey everybody, good afternoon. i'm yasmin vossoughian. we have a lot going on right now. a terrifying situation in mississippi after a man steals a plane and threatens to deliberately crashed into a walmart. nash forced to scrub its big launch today, we'll tell you why and what it means for the mission back to the moon. new details emerging on that legal documents seized from mar-a-lago. this happening as the former president plans to hold his first rally since the fbi search. plus new information on the mississippi water crisis which is ongoing. and bowing out with great, serena williams plays her final tennis match at the u.s. open. we'll have much more on her emotional farewell, ahead. we begin, though, with that breaking news, everybody, in
11:01 am
tupelo mississippi where the sheriff's office says a man is in custody after spinning a twin turbo propeller airplane and threatening to crash it into a local walmart, triggering an evacuation. nbc's covering the story. bring us up to date as to what we know so far, and how it is this guy managed to meant steal the plane in the first place. >> you know, as, minimal start with the most important thing. incredibly, there were no injuries at the end of this. which is really unbelievable when you consider the fact that for the better part of five hours he had an airplane that was circling parts of tupelo and beyond and threatening to injure people on the ground. amazingly, nobody was hurt. at the end of the five hours or so, he eventually landed in a field. he wasn't injured himself, and he was taken into custody. we'll start with the incredible way that he was able to get access to the plane. we learned during a news
11:02 am
congress that happened 30 minutes ago, that this was an employee of the local import here in tupelo. he worked there for ten years. he was somebody who refuels the plains. he had a lot of access to these aircrafts. officials say that he had flight hours. he didn't have flight instruction, but they do not believe that he was a licensed pilot. when you take the plane around 5 am, he called 9-1-1 himself. he's the one who called and said i have this plan, i'm going to crash into a walmart. that's when everyone activated and said there is a threat. after that, though, when he declined to do that, after he was circling around, they said that ultimately they were in contact with him. they didn't believe that he any intentions of hurting everyone after that initial threat. the stunning thing during that news conference is that we learned that at one point he agreed to land the plane, but he didn't have the experience. they don't believe that he was a licensed pilot, so they had a
11:03 am
private pilot walking him through that. he got within 100 yards of landing the plane, and then for whatever reason decided to abort, decided to fly around again. i was talking to the mayor, he said there was about 50 or 70 miles that he covered. we're talking about a widespread threat. here's something the official, a police chief said about those negotiations, the conversations went. take a look. >> negotiators from tupelo police department made contact with the pilot. they were able to convince him to not carry out this deed and to land the aircraft at tupelo airport. the pilot did not have experience to land an aircraft. a private pilot assisted us in helping this pilot complete this. however, it was not completed. a poem final approach, the pilot aborted the landing and traveled in a northwest direction away from tupelo. at 10:08 am, faa lost radar
11:04 am
contact with the aircraft. a 10:12 am, our negotiator reestablished contact with the pilot. the pilot confirmed he had landed in a field, and he was uninjured. >> so, yasmin, when you listen to that timeline right there that they laid out in a very specific detail, it standing for a number of reasons. again, this is somebody who had access to planes, was able to get this plan into the air, but when you think about just how widespread this was -- we're talking about a number of different air spaces that recovered, and a number of different jurisdictions on the ground. when i spoke to the mayor, i asked him what was this area part -- of the unknown, there was a period of time where their last communication with him that meant they didn't know where he could potentially go. we are going to crash into a residential area? at some point very -- several different places were evacuated. several streets were shut down
11:05 am
here in tupelo. certainly, a very scary, very difficult five or so hours here this morning in mississippi. >> yeah, blayne thank you for staying on top of it. appreciate it. >> we want to get to another story we've been following, at the kennedy space center, for a second time nasa's attempt to launch the artemis moon mission was scrubbed. we want to bring in tom who's been following that for us. talk us through, it time. we are anticipating this launched today and again it has been scrubbed for a second time. what went wrong? >> so here's what happened. they started dealing with a leak issue. an eight inch liquid hydrogen line this morning. they worked it, they worked it, they try to figure out where it was coming from. could they in some way overcome it? they simply couldn't. they could not overcome that leak. as a result, they were never able to put a whole lot of liquid hydrogen into the main fuel tank. as the morning progressed, they realize they were getting further and further behind on
11:06 am
the timeline to launch. so the last director finally pulled the plug. they said we're going to have to scrub today. here's the problem. it does not appear that this leak is actually accessible from the pad. it may be inside the engine compartment itself. what does that mean? it means there's a very good chance we'll find out later this afternoon. there's a decent chance they're going to have to roll that entire rocket back to the massive building behind me. the vehicle assembly building. if that's the only way they can gain access to the lead. when might they consider launching? monday would be off the table. tuesday would be off the table if they do that. and a short time ago, the administrator bill nelson, the administrator finesse said that we may be looking at mid october launch. now, that's all contingent, he doesn't make the final call, that's the launch director and the engineers in consultation with literally the rocket experts. they're all meeting right now.
11:07 am
we'll have a 4:00 news conference. we expect to learn more. there's been an awful lot of twitter traffic back and forth. this is a disaster, how could they be scrapping a launch again! this is pretty standard stuff for nasa. listen, nasa described launches going back to the apollo days, shuttle days, spacex has had launches. rocket science is not easy. especially if you want to go to the new -- moon and you can't attempt to fire iraq and when you have a liquid hydrogen leak. they're going to go through this meticulously. where is that lee, can they patch, it repair it, swap apart out? to do that we'll see. they may have to go back to the va v. then i'll be back in five weeks to do it all over again if that happens. >> hope it gets off the ground then. in this case, obviously it is rocket science. i'm wondering, 5 to 6 weeks from now. why this thing -- why would it take so long to
11:08 am
repair something like this? >> well, now you have a whole spreadsheet of calculations. first of all, that thing weighs five and a half million pounds. to get it rolling back to the vehicle assembly building on this monster tractor that only goes out about -- it takes 11 hours more or less to roll back to the facility. you have to start taking stuff apart, you go through it with engineering precision. that takes time. next problem, they can't just suddenly start to decide -- okay we're going. and light the rocket. they have to make sure that they're hitting that lunar injection orbit. that's not easy you have to wait for the right timing. there are other things that are preplanned. they have to coordinate with other launches. including a spacex launch, with nasa astronauts on board, the
11:09 am
first week of october. that pushes the window back into mid october. >> got it, so we'll be hearing from around 4 pm eastern time they'll be holding a press conference to give us a press conference telling us what's going. on as always, tom costello, thank you. coming up i'll be joined by former retired astronaut charles bolden, and chris hadfield. with their analysis of what happened today and what we can expect moving forward, as well. all right, we are awaiting that decision, that could come at any moment about whether a trump appointed judge is going to grant the former presidents request for a special master to review the documents at mar-a-lago. it's coming as this detailed inventory released friday revealing that the fbi seized more than 11,000 documents. there were -- boxes seven of which were in the office, that's despite the attorneys saying they were on the storage rooms.
11:10 am
we also learned, an alarming 48 folders were completely empty with classified banners. what were the contents of those folders? that has prompted trump's most -- once loyal attorney general to defend the doa. >> i think the whole idea of a special master is a bit of a red herring. even if there is subject to executive privilege, they still belong to the government. >> is there any legitimate reason for those -- materials to be in the former presidents possession? >> no. i can't think of a legitimate reason why they could be taken out of the government, away from the government. if they're classified, the facts are starting to show that they were being jerked around. people say this was unprecedented. both also unprecedented for a president to take all this and classified information and put it in a country club. >> jonathan allen is showing me,
11:11 am
and paul butler is joining me as well. i'm wondering if fox news that former attorney general bill barr said what he said on fox before they booked him. nonetheless, it's out there. not surprising, of course, considering what we've heard from him over the last couple of weeks. jonathan, bring us up to date. any moment we could hear about the decision as to whether or not they will have a special master to review these documents, essentially this third party to review these documents. where are we on this? what is your reporting telling you as to when we'll hear this decision? >> the best thing about being a judge is when you can choose when you want to do these things. nobody can put the pressure on you. it could happen in the next five minutes, or could take a few days. there is some urgency in terms of determining what happens. the prosecutors want to move forward. the government wants to move forward. the defense would like a decision in its favor. the judge has, because she
11:12 am
didn't summarily reject this request at thursday's hearing, you can draw the inference that she is at least seriously considering whether to appoint a special master, even though many legal experts say it's unnecessary. >> paul butler, talk to me, right? when we're going into this hearing on thursday, it seemed as if judge cannon was leaning towards appointing a special master. then there was the release of the documents -- these are all the documents that the government actually sees admiral legault. this is what was in the folders. this is where the things where. we've got a lot more details. a lot more happened in that 48 hours, the 72 hours since that passed. now that it -- now that we have all this information, and we look at the whole landscape of it, where do you expect this judge is going to land when it comes to the appointment of the special master, considering the arguments made by the department of justice? >> if the judge grants trump's
11:13 am
request for a special master all that will do is delay the criminal investigation. a special master would have to be identified. that person would have to go through a background check. and then they would have to go through thousands of documents. that could take months. here's the thing, trump wants the special master -- it's already been done by the doj. it's not suppressing the trump wants to drag this investigation out as long as he can. that's always his mo. what is surprising is that the judge might let him get away with this. >> and let's point out, this is a trump appointed judge, putting that out there, despite the fact that this is a larger justice department and we don't necessarily think of dentists -- judges appointed by one president or another, this is in fact a trump appointed judge. trump's attorneys hoping that the rule in trump's favor. jonathan, for -- more than 40 empty folders.
11:14 am
this is concerning, as this whole thing grew -- the most concerning thing was these empty folders, right? they were classified documents in these folders nowhere to be seen. where is this information? where are the contents of these folders, from your reporting, what you're hearing, how worried are folks about what else could be out there, with the trump team could have in their possession that the doj has not gotten a hold of? >> there's clearly, reason, yasmin, for the government -- that were not -- were either turned over by trump's team were captured by the search and seizure documents. what we don't know is whether the folders, the empty folders originally contain the other documents that the fbi recovered or if they contained other documents were nowhere to be found. we don't know that yet. that will be a big question
11:15 am
coming up later. the president doesn't have a right to any of these records. the classification matters in terms of potential crimes, but just having any documents is paul a problem. >> paul butler, claimed his touch butler, play this out for me for me. both -- scenarios. if we're looking at one is that the judge pointless social, master and the other is the judge does not appoint a special master. how did those two things play out? -- >> for the criminal investigation, by the feds, it really does not make a difference. trump might be able to run up the clock successfully with the house investigation in case the house changes after the midterms. but all the doj is doing now is making its decision after its damage assessment has complete. it's doing witness interviews, reviewing forensic evidence, like security camera footage at
11:16 am
mar-a-lago. ultimately, merrick garland will have to decide whether trump is above the law. based on what we know now, if it was anybody else in the situation, they would be prosecuted. >> thank you as always my friend. paul, i'm gonna ask you to stay with us. we had some more questions regarding the capital january 6th capitol riot investigations. we will talk more about that coming up. coming up everybody, you may not be traveling, but if you're flying at all this weekend, you may run into delays. we are talking about labor day travel. of course the way this travel season has been all summer. plus, billions in repairs, mississippi residents still without safe drinking water. how long the situation will remain dire. we'll be right back. ht back. subway's drafting 12 new subs for the all-new subway series menu the new monster has juicy steak and crispy bacon. but what about the new boss? it looks so good it makes me hangry! settle down there, big guy

11:21 am
>> hi yasmin. residents have told us that jackson's water system is unreliable. right now, with the current prices, they have few options to access basic necessity. they can come to mask distribution site stuff by the national guard, like the one i'm at now, and face waiting in long lines. or they can go to stores. but that means paying out of pocket. bottled water is expensive in jackson is the city where one and four residents live in poverty. right now, with this current water crisis, jackson residents that we've talked to on the ground are reminding us constantly that this is not new. they have been under a boil water notice for a month. jackson's mayor says that conditions are improving at the plant, that's at the root cause of this, but he warns that there could be setbacks.
11:22 am
take a listen. >> i do want to forewarn you that another issue we may experience, as they're able to increase the pressure at the plant, to levels that it has not seen in many years, the challenge then becomes whether we have pipes that would rupture across the city. we know that we have brittle pipes. we have aged pipes. just as our water treatment facilities are h. that's a challenge we're going to have on the ground and dealing with the time process. >> again, conditions that the water treatment plant are improving. but the city of jackson is not out of the woods yet. yasmin back to you. >> trick gracie harris for us, thank you. let's talk travel as well. this weekend, labor day weekend, the end of summer, nearly a third of americans are traveling this holiday weekend for the last big getaway.
11:23 am
most americans will get to their labor day destinations by car. airlines are under the microscope as well. -- following what is been a summer of cancellations and delays, to say the least. nbc's cal perry is that -- the airport covering it for us. i take the story very personally tell. because i have been at the end of cancellations nonstop this summer. you literally i get a text message saying your flights been canceled full stop. nothing else. and then what, right? >> and then book probably days later, right? >> exactly. you can go home thursday. and then it was sunday. by the, way are not the only one who's been doing with that. i'm sure folks anticipating that happening this weekend as well. >> today has been okay. about 1000 flights delay so far. that's actually not bad nationally. we can put up some stats about this weekend, sort viewers know
11:24 am
they're they're traveling they're not alone. we are talking about 32% of americans are on the move this weekend. 82% will be driving. more on that on the just in a moment. -- at least 12.6 million people coming through airports. if you look at bookings they're up more than 20% since last year. international bookings have increased by more than 100 percent. -- the cost of regular gas up 20% since last year. so they have fallen, they're still up 20% of last year. most air fare is up 20% from last year as well. the question this summer is for so many americans, especially with her unhealthy relationship with the beach, do i drive? do i fly? crews have been out on the east coast asking people about all weekend. take a listen. who >> we considered it. actually, like turn to about this weekend. it's just better, because once
11:25 am
were down in d.c. it's easier to get around. if we have the car in the we have more options that. when we don't mind the road trip. it's not that that. >> i have to say he has been, most of the folks watching at home will know there is a great deal of traveling involved in what we do. what that gentleman is saying is absolutely right. rental cars were always an issue post pandemic. i feel right in so many cities and found that the rental car is not there. warm standing in a two or three hour line waiting for cars. so flying versus driving, and it's only cup at hundred miles, you may want to drive this year. >> i got to tell you cal, the pot calling the kettle black. i've been watching your instagram. you've been at the beach as well. so what do you, say the unhealthy relationship we held with beaches, you are numero uno. >> it starts right here. >> it starts right there. you have to identify the problem and then you deal with. that you have to identify you have a problem and then deal with. okay. thank you. former president donald trump's prince presence helps or hurts

11:30 am
the 1950 census adds vivid new detail to your family story. and it's available now on ancestry. all right welcome back, so right now trump supporters are gathering in pennsylvania where donald trump will be taking the stage in just a couple of hours. it's going to be his first rally since the mar-a-lago search. and president biden's speech denouncing the maga ideology. nbc is there in pennsylvania covering it for us. george, covered for us. there's going to be a lot of political talk from the former president. the first time we're hearing from him publicly after the search of his home in mar-a-lago, the discovery of actually there. the classified material and what could be ahead. as you've been talking to folks on the ground, what do they have to say? >> he, he has been, we've been
11:31 am
talking to lots of the president's supporters. many of them arriving early this morning, outside of the convention center waiting to hear what he might say or what he might not say of the raid at his home. many wondering if he'll use this evening to announce his run for the white house in 2024. many turning a blind eye of the search at mar-a-lago, even after the judge listed the number of top secret, secret, and confidential files fide -- found by the fbi at mar-a-lago. many of the supporters sticking to the rhetoric that we have known that trump has used. calling members of the fbi mobsters, calling republicans rhinos -- republican in name only. many expecting mr. trump will address all of this as well as the calls for a special master, that third party that review some of those documents. a decision that frankly we know could've cure this weekend. maybe could be coming in the next couple of days. of course, what will he say
11:32 am
about that speech that president biden delivered in philadelphia, basically going after the maga movement. we talked to a number of supporters throughout the day, here's what one told me specifically. >> oh my gosh, it took me about six hours from d.c. traffic. it was worth every minute of it. i traveled to come and support trump. >> your support from the president has not wavered given what has found at my mar-a-lago? >> it's gotten 100 times more strong. he delivers. he's putting his people. first >> do you guys believe he might make that announcement tonight, or do you think he'll wait for another time? >> he's our damn president. he still never stopped being our president. >> yeah, yasmin, you heard there, many saying their support for the former president has not wavered even
11:33 am
after what we've learned was found at mar-a-lago. one thing will note, a lot of the supporters that we've talked to say of course they're here to see the former president, they're almost also here to hear the gubernatorial candidate -- it'll be interesting to see all three of these men approached the states night and what they have to say to one another. >> thank you george, appreciate you being there. >> there has been a lot of bluster from the former president at tonight's rally, but make no mistake, he's in a lot of legal jeopardy. in addition, there was news that pat cipollone and pat philbin appeared before the federal grand jury investigating january six. we want to talk to paul butler who's back with me now. let's talk first, paul, about cipollone, right? and then of course filled in as well. i believe cipollone appeared for about two and a half hours yesterday. an hour and a half with philbin. this grand jury testimony -- we learned a heck of a lot from
11:34 am
pets ability, chief counsel, right? during the january six investigation. some of which was played by the january six committee during that testimony. what do you expect to hear from the grand journey from cipollone and the testimony that they offered yesterday? >> so, yasmin, the house panel got good steps from cipollone. very incriminating information about donald trump. but the grand journey investigation that makes the steak -- the stakes much higher. we already know that path cipollone was the adult in the room, who tried to get donald trump to do something on january six to make the insurrectionists go home. of course trump refused. these two white house lawyers were also present at the crazy oval office meeting on january 4th where trump was told that the fake electors scheme was unconstitutional but trump just didn't care. >> it seems like that's what
11:35 am
they're really tuning in on is the fake elector scheme more than everything else. we're gonna be learning more about it as the same place at. i want to play a little sound from the former president this week talking about the possibility of wanting to pardon some of these folks that have been convicted when it comes to january six. let's play that, and then i'll have your reaction. >> i will tell you, i will look very, very favorably about full pardons if i decide to run and if i win. i will be looking very, very strongly about pardons. >> amen. well deserved. >> it's gonna be the best. even if they go for two months, or six months, they have sentences -- >> years and years. >> we'll be looking very, very seriously at full pardons. we can't let that happen. what's happened here -- and i mean full pardons with an apology to many. >> a man.
11:36 am
>> paul? >> once again, trump is dangling pardons in the context of a criminal investigation just like he did in the russian investigation. but remember, yasmin, to his credit, he paul -- followed through. he pardon some of the people who were convicted of federal crimes who are trying to protect him -- this is certainly obstruction of justice adjacent. the doj will have to make the decision about whether to prosecute for the first time a former president and then for what? there are three different federal grandeur investigations of trump right now. when trump does criminal adjacent stuff like dangling of pardons, prosecutors think this is a bad dude who has no respect for the rule of law. >> paul butler for us. thank you for sticking by, paul. we appreciated as always. great to talk to you today. what went wrong?
11:37 am
we'll look into why nasa had to scrap their big mission to the moon for a second time, and whether they'll be able to fix the problem in time for the next launch window that could possibly be six weeks away at this point. but we're waiting for that date. we'll be right back. l be right back. ♪ we believe there's an innovator in all of us. ♪ that's why we build technology that makes it possible for every business... and every person... to come to the table and do more incredible things. this is john. he hasn't worked this hard to only get this far with his cholesterol. taken with a statin, leqvio can lower bad cholesterol and keep it low with two doses a year. side effects were injection site reaction, joint pain, urinary tract infection,

about the planned munch -- launch of the artemis mission which was scrapped once again. engineers were unable to contain leaks of hydrogen, while attempting to loaded into the rocket tanks. i want to bring in former astronaut -- and chris hadfield. welcome to you both. thanks for joining us on this. hey charles, let me start with you on this one. just talk us through how they came to this decision. what went wrong here and why did it take till today to figure out, we can't do this thing? >> well, i don't think it took till today, first of all let me thank you for including me in the conversation. it's great to see you and to see chris. this is something that we encountered on the first attempt when we had a hydrogen leak. i called it the tale service mast. the leak is emanating from an oh ring which is outside the vehicle. it's in the pad itself. we got through that on the last
11:42 am
launch only to scrub after we found that we had the temperature problem. the crew thinks, the ground crew thinks that they understand this. but they want to go back in, as i understand it -- i'm here in washington d.c. -- you're getting an analysis over distance. but i think they feel that they potentially want to rollback so they can actually dissemble the connector, look at the o ring, determine whether it's cut or rolled, or anything else to understand it. >> so help me understand it, chris, is there an idea that they possibly knew this thing wasn't going to go before today or they wanted to wait till today to make the decision, they could possibly get it or a pinpoint issue before the launch was ready to go? >> yeah, charlie and i both launched off pads in florida multiple times.
11:43 am
you never know for sure, ever. what you actually have to do is hook everything up and take it right down to the second that you're gonna light the engines and make sure that it all works. pumping hydrogen, it's the smallest atom that exists. it wants to leak. also it's minus 400 degrees. you know what happens to rubber or plastic when you cool it down to 400 -- minus 400. think of how hard it isn't any material. it's what plugs into the rocket itself. little tiny adams of hydrogen were just sneak it out and looking past, we're just as frustrated as anyone else. but that doesn't help -- us they've been trying to work it out. as charlie said, it's great to see you charlie, they might have to roll it back inside the assembly building to really troubleshoot and make sure they optimize their chances for the next trial. >> i like that we offer the folks watching, on television,
11:44 am
and on television reunion. it's as if we're all sitting around having a beer. we're seeing each other for the first time in a while. thank you for that. go ahead charlie. >> for mom and dad sitting at home, or someone out on a farm who pickles stuff or cans tomatoes, imagine that you have a jar, a mason jar, with a rubber o ring on the top that seals, it and all of a sudden you come across a jar and you turn it upside down, and it starts gripping tomato juice. that's because and o ring, you didn't see it at first, that's a farmer's version of what you see on the vehicle. >> that really helps us understand it because it's rocket scientists -- science after all. not many of us understand rocket science. chris, why is it going to take so long? i heard from tom -- this could get pushed, because of the scheduling that can happen from the space center, possibly until mid october --
11:45 am
of course will be waiting for an announcement on that. why would a fix take so long and push it so much further down the road. >> to the things he has, been they have to sort out the problem itself. they might be able to resolve that pretty quickly. but they have to roll the thing the miles back to the big building. that takes a finite amount of time. the other piece is where is the moon relative to the earth? they have this mission plan, and it's a solar-powered spaceship once it gets up there. you can't be operating in the dark. the alignment of where the moon is around the world, all that stuff, it is rocket scientists. it's a lot of mechanics, it has to work as well. you have to be able to watch out of florida and get where you need to be. all the parameters that you need, there's only so many days in the year that all that stuff lines up. and, as you say, there's other
11:46 am
rockets launching from florida, from the kennedy and cape canaveral as well. all of those things, it's a great thing, a complex matrix of stuff. they all have to work. you can see in that graphic that you're showing right now just how complicated this mission will be once it gets going. before we trust to put people on board. charles, less one to you. you've got a lot of folks that have been working on preparing this mission. it's now pinstripe two separate times. it's gonna be disappointing for the team to have this lead up and scrub it once again. and feel like they're starting from ground zero. all of them are gonna have to wait it out until october? or this is something that you're used to at this point? >> you never get used to it. it is something that you know can happen. here's what i will compliment charlie blackwell thompson, the launch director. she's the boss. she's the captain of the team. it's one of her responsibilities, in terms of doing what's right, is making the decision that has been made to scrub today. but also, how did she keep her
11:47 am
team motivated? i think she'll do a phenomenal job there. everybody understands that this is difficult. they we will find the solution and will go with it. that sort of the job of charlie and her leadership team. >> as always gentleman, it's an honor to be here for this television reunion. i was happy to bring the tribute together. maybe you guys can get together in person as well. thank you guys both. appreciate. it after the break everybody, an ace of a career. how serena williams and things in her final u.s. open appearance. we'll be right back. ight back. he magical everly estate, landscaper larry and his trusty crew... were delayed when the new kid totaled his truck. timber... fortunately, they were covered by progressive, so it was a happy ending... for almost everyone. trelegy for copd.
