if you are sticking with us, thank you. we are following the breaking news out of mississippi, where a man stole a plane and threatened to crush into a local walmart there. plus the investigation of the former president reaching a key point as we await the judge's ruling on a special master to deal with documents seized at mar-a-lago. what that could mean for the doj investigation. and a full -- defence of democracy. >> maga republics republicans are made their choice. they embrace anchor. they thrive on chaos. they live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies. there are public figures today, yesterday and the day before predicting, and albert calling, from mass violence and writing in the streets. this is inflammatory. it is dangerous. it is against the rule of law. and we the people must say,

this is not who we are. oh every patriotic american knows how, >> president biden painting the upcoming elections as the battle for the soul of the nation. more on that up. ahead leading with the breaking news in tupelo, mississippi, where a man flying a small plane is in custody, following ordeal as he left the skies saturday morning. he threatened to crash the aircraft into a walmart which led to the store becoming evacuated. the plane eventually came down. more with nbc correspondent blaine -- talk to us, we just heard from the officials a short time ago. whatever we learned about this individual who took this plane and perhaps as motivations here? >> yes, but we are learning and continuing to learn more by the hour how this unfolded and how it became unbelievably v to a

peaceful and with no injuries. more about this individuals. he's 29 years old. he actually worked at that airport, in tupelo. he worked there for about a decade. he was responsible for refusing the aircraft. he had access to these planes. we're also learning more, the police chief gave me more of an insight to what this process was like ultimately getting him to bring the plane down, not injure anybody, and surrender without any incident. he said they were talking to him by cell phone the entire time. and actually his family, the suspect's family, was involved in some wayne actually bringing this to an aunt. they actually came and re-speaking to him. he couldn't give me details of what they said. but he said they were speaking to him and they were instrumental in bringing this to an end without any sort of incident. a couple of things that stood out to me. early in this flight, about three hours or so, and he agreed to land. he said, i'll go ahead and land safely. but he didn't know how. he only had a few hours of pilot instruction.

but he wasn't a licensed pilot, officials say. so they brought into pilots that talk to him, talked him through learning the aircraft, and he was right up into attendance decided to aborted the last minute. from the sky, he actually posted a facebook message saying goodbye. there's a little bit more from what the tupelo police chief told me about those two incidences. >> what did he say on facebook? give me details of that. >> it was a couple of sentences. i honestly do not remember the first couple of sentences, but basically was goodbye. he ended with goodbye. this was the aunt. there was some direct messaging to his family. that's what the facebook post was related to. >> he made that while he was airborne? >> yes, that 9:32 am this morning. >> what did you think? >> we also knew at the same time he was running out of fuel. so we knew the plane was gonna have to be coming down very soon to end this facebook post was made. >> at that point, did you know it was gonna be a landing or a

crash? >> we did not. we know has policy skills or -limited. he did not know how to london aircraft. so we naturally soon it was gonna be a crash. >> yasmin, you heard just what those really tense moments were like. there was a lot that they didn't know on the ground. they didn't know if he would crash. they didn't know where that could potentially take place. what you saw resulting here on the ground in tupelo, it really cost a lot of disruption. they had to evacuate that walmart, where the initial threat was made. but they shut down a number of major streets. here this was labor day weekend. there were some events planned. described those events. so there weren't a lot of concentrations of people that could be targeted. the chief told me when all is said and done, tens of thousands of people on the ground where scrambling over this five hour period. incredibly, no injuries, not even to the pilot himself. he's now in custody. he has obtained a lawyer and he is not cooperating, speaking with police, but he's facing a number of charges.

>> blaine alexander for us, as always, thank you. as we've been telling you, throughout the show, we are waiting for a judge's ruling, that could come at any moment, whether we're gonna see former president trump's request of the special master granted, essentially a third party to come in review the documents that they doj obtained from his mar-a-lago home three weeks now. some say, now would be a waste of time. >> i think it's a red herring. i think at this stage, since have already gone through the documents, i think it's a waste of time. if in fact, he stood over stores of boxes, not knowing what's in them, and then by declassify everything in here, that would be such an abuse and show such recklessness that that it is almost worse than taking the documents. >> -- kyle, let's talk about some of

the stuff. we talked about the political implications here for the list that was released yesterday mr. details that were actually found at mar-a-lago. this list that was released by judge cannon. in particular, the more than 40 plus empty folders marked as classified. talk us through it. >> so part of that whole proceeding, with the hearing last week, was a decision to unseal this most detailed inventory of what the fbi i took from trump's mar-a-lago estate. when it was first unsealed, at first, glance it didn't look like a lot of new information. essentially there was a few top secret documents in the, spots and secret classified documents in this box. but the more you dug into it the more you realize there's a lot more to it than that. they thought these highly classified documents inter mills with clothing items and books and gifts. they found these dozens of empty folders that were marked classified.

we don't know a lot about that. there were on this list that were released. but people are asking, rightly, what was in those folders? where is the material that was in those folders? that is something we hope to learn through this process. >> there is a couple of things i want to take through here while i have you kyle. i want to talk a little bit about the january 6th investigation as well. we are now hearing about the skull from newt gingrich to come and testify. one of which is the reasons, laid out -- for his possible participation in setting ankara among the former president's supporters. benny thompson saying, that messages caused designed to incite anger among voters, even after georgia election officials -- in particular, mr. gingrich advocated promoting the false claims that election workers in atlanta had smuggled in fake votes in suitcases. -- mr. gingrich continue to push

efforts to overturn the election, email mr. metals, at 10:42 pm, after the capitol continue to whip -- surprisingly the attack on congress and the activities prescribed by the constitution did not even pause your relentless pursuit, mr. thompson brought. what do you make of this new development, this call for gingrich to testify? >> you know i remember at the time, new grand which was very vocal in supporting donald trump's push to overturn the election, or at least to challenge the results and call into question the integrity of the vote. we didn't know whether these behind the scenes conversations he was having trying to help strategize ways to not necessarily overturn the results, but to create the conditions that would pressure state legislators and governors to do that very thing. that's what donald trump wanted ultimately. i wasn't aware of the depth of gingrich's conversations with

people in trump world about this. it's interesting the committee has uncovered evidence to that effect. i think we will see if he cooperates and is willing to go in there. this comes at a time when george's in particular focus, that's where newt gingrich's from, and where he was working most actively. the fulton county da investigating some of the exact same things. i wouldn't be shocked if she finds an interesting new gingrich just. well >> kyle chase for, us thank you colin, good to talk to you. in a couple of hours, the former president will be taking a stage at us for a post-search rally, that's a reframing. it i want to bring in nbc political analyst -- and democratic strategist alison director of public policy at the roosevelt house institute of hunter college. will compute both guys. i appreciate you both joining us on this. let me ask you this question first. this is the first time are gonna be hearing from the former president publicly, right after the search of mar-a-lago, and we believe

mastriano, dr. oz are gonna be there as well. susan i, will go to you on this. do you feel that the former president will be addressing more esther what he feels is the injustices of what has been done to him by taking up that kind of oxygen? and are promoting, i should say, the possibility of folks like mastriano and oz winning their seats? >> i think it's going to be all trump all the time. this may be his longest speech yet. you can imagine the rife he's going to have over the search. you've been doing about an hour, an hour and a 15-minute rally. i bet this close closer to 22 and a half. counter many times he mentions mastriano or oz. i guarantee you it's gonna be under ten. it is not about them. this is a stage for donald trump. he when he sees that microphone, he knows it's only for him in

his bind. i wouldn't expect much as far as helping out the candidates. >> i've gotta say basil, we play some sound from trump supporters that are waiting for this rally, for him to rife. i wasn't surprised to hear what they had to say. they doubled down on the support, especially after the search. they don't care what was found on the search. but when you think about it big picture-wise, so many of the details that we have learned as to what was actually at mar-a-lago, what the former president did, the documents that he took. the portions are still out there. in the people that he made vulnerable possibly. so much of it came out because of the efforts of his own attorneys. the asked by his own attorneys. it seems to me, and i'm wondering if you made sense of this as well, the department of justice says okay, screw, what we're putting everything out there. >> i absolutely agree with that. to echo susan's point, this is all about him. that's how i categorize a lot

of what you are seeing in terms of the fallout from the search. you have confidential documents that are at best misplaced and that worst taken and put into hands that we are unaware of, earlier, we heard that some of these documents talked about clandestine human sources, actual people whose lives might be in jeopardy. even when you add into it the reports about the secret service of the missing tax, so much of that was sacrosanct in government. the transition of power, the maintaining of our military, the height of our military strength. making sure the folks that protect us right kept safe. and the fact that the people who were charged to protect us are actually doing sullivan upholding the law. all these questions are out there, that donald trump himself is not being addressed.

it's still gonna be about him. it's time to be about any of these other candidates. it's gonna be about him. he wasn't. charges are his documents. his country. his government. and that should be concerning to everybody. but clearly not to his supporters, and that's what joe biden was talking about the other day. >> and we hear from his own supporters. we hear they still feel this is his president their president. they feel this is the man in charge. let's play a little bit more of this former attorney general. >> people say this was unprecedented, but it's also unprecedented for president to take all this classified information and put it in a country club. how long is the government gonna try to get that back? they -- for a year, they were deceived on the voluntary actions taken. they then went and got a subpoena. they were deceived on that.

they feel. the facts are starting to show that there were being jerked around. how long do they wait? >> it's fascinating to me that even someone like eternity general -- who at one point was seen as a trump supporter, he was in the administration ultimately, he pointed by the former president. that he would not help sway republicans about the agree justice to what the former president has done with these classified documents. >> the republicans he can't sway would be a validation of those who did not vote for donald trump and he would never vote for donald trump. they're about ten 15% of those republicans out there, who are center-right independents. it's really a message of validation. but really, bill barr could've stepped up and been much more effective for our country.

he's choosing to do so, reputation rehab if you will now. i'm surprised he got away with it. i guess they didn't know what he was gonna say. >> everybody knows, we never know where any of you're gonna say when we vote for you. basil's michael susan -- you guys are coming back. we will talk about the president speech he gave a few nights ago in a little bit. thank you for sticking with me guys. we're also gonna talk about the crisis in jackson, mississippi, as an entire city is threatened by water shortage. we'll hear a story of a mother of three and how it's hurting her family as this crisis is now in its sixth day. with no clear and insight. we'll be right back. l be right back. the tenth pick is in the new all-american club. that's a “club” i want to join! let's hear from simone. chuck, that's a club i want to join! i literally just said that. i like her better than you the new subway series. what's your pick?

crisis. it's putting a heavy strain on residents there. >> it shouldn't take this long. we have the last and everything. >> grocery stores are running out of food. no water to drink. i honestly don't want to my baby in jackson's water. >> around 150,000 people are without access to clean water after severe damage was discovered in the city's main treatment plant following heavy flooding. be areas main treatment plant has been -- governor tate reeves sending -- president biden authorizing several resources to the city as well. today.com's daniel -- was there reporting on the situation in mississippi this weekend as more for us. this is a to meet daniel. i bring up this example to say, i have been reporting in sub-saharan africa for instance. one of the things i was told when i went there, when you

shower, keep your mouth clothes. because of the water situation. that's sub-saharan africa. that shouldn't be happening anywhere in the world. this is the wealthiest country in the world. and these people are in don't have clean drinking water six days then. it's terrifying. >> it's terrifying and it's six states now and counting. this is gonna last for a long time. we live in one of the richest countries in the world, but mississippi is the poorest state. that is not a coincidence. this is nothing new. put this in context as well. this is the result of a flood that's also the result of decades of completely oversight by leadership. they are not putting any money into the infrastructure. there are pipes that are over 100 years old. they aren't taking out lead pipes. it's under funded. understaffed. this is something the communities been dealing with for a very long time.

>> you would think that they would have had addressed the infrastructure problem there, considering what we saw in flint, michigan, not that long ago. and the anticipation this was happening in mississippi, knowing that was coming. and that now people don't even have clean drinking water. people are affected by this the most of our residents. people who are there cannot go anywhere. there's no other place to go. what are they saying? >> i talked to one mom of three who has lived in jackson her entire life. again, this is nothing new. she had to tell her children what her in her mom and grandmother tell her, when she knew the flood was coming, because she knew that meant there would not be access to drinking water. this is what she had to say. take a listen. >> when we knew the floodwaters were coming, i told my children what my mom and what my granny told me back in the 80s. phil the tubbs up, so we can even flush-able water. go to the store prior to and

get as much water as we can, just in case we can use that water. when we haven't been able to use that to cook with. we have to boil it. but the water has been brown. and there's grind in the water, their search in the water. we have not been able to even just use that water. >> i think, as you mentioned the idea of take a shower and don't open your mouth. your mother. i'm a mother. can you imagine trying to shower or beta or child and keep the water out? it's impossible. >> their mission is to keep their mouths open when they take showers. >> her child did get sick. she forgot that she wasn't supposed to brush your teeth with water from the faucet. she drank some. she was sick for a few days. thankfully she got better. this is across jackson in the state of mississippi. this is nothing new. it doesn't seem to be changing. >> who knows what type of long term effects is gonna have on?

folks did they know they were drinking contaminated water even before this took place? there's been a boil water notice for sometime even before this happened. we're talking about a six-day period. but the world boil water advisory was in place even before that. i know you're going to uvalde tomorrow to report on the first day of school. there you have some good stuff from that. give my best everybody. there >> i will. >> commit republican election deniers go after president biden's speech on the threat to democracy from maga supporters. did his remarks hurt or help the democrats? we'll be right back. we'll be right back. , meta portal auto pans and zooms to keep you in frame. and the meeting on track. meta portal. the smart video calling device that makes work from home work for you.

republicans. democrats are praising his speech for its approach, but the republicans are -- how is the presidents have been dealing with some of the criticism, the feedback may be some positive some negative of the speech that he gave in philly? >> i was there in philadelphia when the president deliver that speech. what we saw with that dramatic historic backdrop, and also in the substance of those remarks, was an effort by the president to really try to make it distinction and contrast between what he says he believed to be demonstrative the american, democrats independents, and he made the distinction, mainstream republicans, and what he cast as a distinct minority. and calling that an attack on american minority. -- and that they are undermining democracy. the reaction from the republicans have been to accuse the peasant president of a pessimist, a gloomy speech, one

that did not make a distinction. a tried to cast a broad brush of all republicans who undermine democracy. the president responded to that yesterday. >> when people voted for donald trump, and support him, now they were worth voting for attacking the capitol, they weren't voting for -- [inaudible] swam not talking about anything other than it is inappropriate and it's not only happening here, but in other parts of the world. the failure to recognize and condemn violence whenever [inaudible] failure to condemn an attempt to manipulate electoral [inaudible] outcomes [inaudible] . >> the president trying to make a distinguished there.

not just think those will vote for republicans, those who voted for trump, embrace political violence, but specifically calling out those who do. i'm gonna be heading back on the road with the president, who will be making two stops on labor day, including a third stop in pennsylvania and less than a week. donald trump is there today. the president will do what he's trying to do today what he did on thursday night, an optimistic case talking about the accomplishments that he's done, and try to boost the economy. >> mike -- making his pit stop at the white house. it is labor day weekend travel for work. thank you mike. good to talk to you. i want to bring back my panel to msnbc political strategist -- and democratic strategist and director the public policy of the results instituted hundred college. welcome back you guys, appreciated. susan, i'll start with you. let me play a little bit more of the president's speech on

thursday and then we'll talk. >> democracy cannot survive on one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election, either they win, or they were cheated. you can't love your country only when you win. >> susan, what did you make of this? this is not necessarily a president that went after the former presidents followers in this way. and even naming the former president. he didn't use the word trump up until this point. -- he is also a president that has had an incredible summer. lot of legislative winds. the approval rating is. up the economy is looking stronger. good jobs reports out. there could be possible of inflation ticking down where it's just a tap. what did you make of it? >> it was a beautiful speech. i loved hearing it. i think unfortunately it's from

a bygone time. but here is the thing. that's 60 days from the midterms, 60 days away, and it was not necessarily the right political speech for the president to give. here's why. he has the democrats. the republicans who are die hards, who run for trump, he has them. the whole thing is to go after the moderate republicans, or center left independents. what i think is that, they went with biden in 2020, as you know, i was working with the lincoln project on republicans and independents for biden. what we knew was, they didn't love biden. they just love their country. so, it wasn't necessarily that there was supporting biden as they could not vote for trump, they would not vote for trump. i don't know that biden is the right person to talk to these moderates, moderate republicans or independents, because i

think that's the job of the candidates. you go into a really democratic area, and you want to go give ahead of speech in a rally, but to do a primetime address, i'm not sure of the purpose. >> nozzle, what do you make of susan's assessment? i'm wondering, do you feel as if he should've focused more on some of the daily struggles of americans right now? while folks are worried about the democracy in this country, is becoming one of the number one issues leading up to the midterms, followed by the economy. folks are struggling with inflation. you've got a lot of folks immunizing right now, when it comes to workers out there, unionizing right now. but when it comes to workers -- we didn't necessarily hear that in the speech. -- >> i look at this from two perspectives, both the emotional and the operational. to me, i think biden should

have made that speech. i think he needs to make it clear that there is no democratic version of there are good people on both sides. you can make that arguments. democrats should not be promoting that argument. they should say, and he's emboldened the democrats by the polling you just showed, that threats to democracy are outweighing even economic issues in this country. that really happens. take that moment, captured this moment, say to the american people that look, this is not about democratic republicans. this is about people who are for or against democracy. i may not agree with liz cheney and many other things, she was not there for me in fighting for voting rights, being abrogated recently by the way, but, if she can partner, if she can ally with democrats in this moment, get other republicans or moderates, democrats, independents, who are concern about threats to democracy, on that one issue they can align,

on that one issue in this one election, it actually moves the needle. i think that's the point that he was trying to make. 75% of the world's population lives in a country that is under threat of democracy. america is included in the. there is no more american exceptionalism. that is calling attention to that. saying, if we're gonna get it back to where we were, we've got to take this hill, even for this one election. >> susan to proceed, how basil's michael, thank you both, i appreciate it. coming up everybody, back to school this week for students in uvalde. what the communities doing ahead of it to come and heal. as the communities trying to return to some sense of normalcy. we'll be right back. right back.

shooting three months ago, their anxiety, their fear, their grief it's incredibly high. students preparing for the first day on tuesday. the school district has increased safety measures like installing steel thousand, cameras, more police officers. but some robb elementary school parents say they still feel unsafe. joining me now is priscilla thompson in uvalde for us. you are at the labor day parade a little bit earlier, and got to speak to some folks and residents about their fears and anxieties anticipating this return to school. what did they tell you? >> it's a mixed bag for a lot of families. we've heard from some families, particularly those who had students who were evacuated from robb elementary school, who say there is still a lot of fear and their students are not ready to go back into a classroom here. they are opting for virtual learning this year. at the same time, i spoke to several parents today at the parade who said they have gone to meet the teacher night, they

feel really comfortable about the staffing at the schools, about the new safety measures like the fencing, the cameras, the extra security. they are going to give it a shot. they're going to let those students return. but at the same time as those families are having that conversation around what to do, there are so many families here who do not have their students with them anymore. they are not thinking about whether their children are going to be going back to school or not this year, because they died on that tragic day. you really felt and saw that on display at the labor day parade today. the streets were lined with families and children running to get the candy and dancing and jumping up and down waving at the floats. at the same time, there was a float in the parade that was full of the family members of the victims who lost their lives on that day. you could see many of them very emotional as that floyd made its way down and just looking loud at the crowd and thinking, their kids should be here

celebrating the stay with them. i spoke to one grandmother who was in the crowd, her name was christina, she lost a family member in the robb elementary school shooting. i asked her, what does it feel like on the ground now? how would you describe it? take a listen to what she shared with me. >> it's really sad to me because my great granddaughter was there and i lost my nephew's daughter. but i really care about all the kids. they were not supposed to go through all this. this is what i was telling sylvia. they would've been here all of them. >> celebrating also. >> oh yes. celebrating everything. >> oh and, so even as the community celebrates the undefeated football team who won their first home game last night and celebrates a labor day holiday, their lives lost and the loss of this communities feeling still being

felt, deliver president as parents prepared to send the students back to school next week. yasmin. >> priscilla thompson for us. thank you. after the break, donald trump's qanon with -- the conspiracy theory he promoted this week on a social media platform. and he did not hold back. we are going to explain. coming up next. comi ungp next hining and the grass is green ♪ ♪ i'm way ahead of schedule with my trusty team ♪ ♪ there's heather on the hedges ♪ ♪ and kenny on the koi ♪ ♪ and your truck's been demolished by the peterson boy ♪ ♪ yes -- ♪ wait, what was that? timber...

don't let asthma take another breath. go triple. go trelegy. ask your doctor about trelegy today. (fisher investments) it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same, go trelegy. but at fisher investments we're clearly different. (other money manager) different how? you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them. (other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fisher investments) never at fisher investments. (other money manager) ok, then you probably sneak in some hidden and layered fees. (fisher investments) no. we structure our fees so we do better when clients do better. that might be why most of our clients come from other money managers. at fisher investments, we're clearly different. your brain is an amazing thing. but as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall.

president donald trump and from a flirtation with qanon conspiracists to officially going study. nbc collins noted in a story this week that quote while trump has in the past promoted qanon inspired accounts and theories and post on his true social account or his most explicit annex beard qanon promoting and qanon bidding posts today. ben collins is joining me now. ben let's talk about this. because you know in your piece, essentially, how he has gone there in certain respects. but what happened this week it's a lot more troublesome. tell us why. >> yeah. he has never endorsed this conspiracy theory or pushed qanon accounts that says specific things about the storm but that is what he did this week. he posted a couple of qanon posts, one was in reference to the storm coming, the storm is the end date for qanon the big apocalyptic judgment day where hillary clinton and joe biden

are marched down the street and executed in public and all of that stuff. there was an actual q drop, a fictitious government insider, who posted all of these things that was a post from 2017. so this is explicit endorsement of the most apocalyptic cult that exists, political cult that exist in america right now. but donald trump probably likes it because they are the only people who are left on truth social right now really cloying out this timeline. >> all right, so two questions. i know that you had a lot of folks immediately responding to this supporters especially qanon supporters. what were they saying? and what do you think is behind this? what is this saying about where the former president is at right now psychologically, that he is promoting these types of things, qanon conspiracy theories like this. what is he looking for? >> yeah. qanon was dying, because it

does not make sense anymore. it never really made sense. the idea that donald trump has some sort of secret control over the national guard, that they could be deployed at any moment to go arrest all of their fictional enemies and like, the fox news cinematic universe people were losing hope in that pretty quickly over the last year and a half. he is not the president anymore. this sort of reunited this basis. they are pretty dead until this week and now they are sort of back on track. they have q forms out there because they think donald trump has endorsed it and said this is real again. so this is a whole big deal. i will say that, you know in terms of how trump used this stuff, he needs these people back in militant again. he is pushing consistently to try to broaden a paramilitary group to make it seem like, you know if he gets indicted people will be in the streets and causing violence. that is the endgame for donald trump right now. he does not want to go to jail.

and a big way to make that not happen is to intimidate merrick garland to not indict him. >> all right so they make it seem like it is what they would do, the question is is that what they would do? i have steve bannon and lindsey graham talking about what would happen, possibly if in fact he is charged criminally. let's listen to that, if we can. >> and if they try to prosecute president trump from mishandling classified information, after hillary clinton set up a server in her basement, they literally will be right in the street. i would worry about our country. >> they have turned it to the american gestapo. maga is the direct threat to the american state. you said this quiet part out loud. we are a threat to the american state. >> so, do you suspect what senator lindsey graham said is true? >> yeah. i think the difference between

now and the days before january six is that there is no organizing principle. there is no end date there is no game plan. but if he does donald trump is in handcuffs i have no doubt these people will organize pretty quickly. people like the proud boys who are constantly looking for reasons to do so. and this would be a big reason to do so. so i would not be surprised if that happens. it is part of the game plan here. steve bannon wants to eliminate the state, this would be a good way of going about it. >> troubling times ben collins who are always on it for us. thank you. the things you must see it by the way. up next everybody more than 300,000 jobs added, gas and food prices falling, but are we getting closer to avoiding a recession? we will break down the numbers, and what it all means for you coming up next. up next it's the all-new subway series menu. twelve irresistible new subs. the most epic sandwich roster ever created. ♪♪

we want to talk about the economy for a moment. wall street closing down yet another rough week, major stock averages fell for a third consecutive week. nasdaq recording a losing streak, all of this in the face of a strong jobs report exceeding expectations. once again that very report showing the u.s. economy adding 300 and 1500 thousand jobs during august taking the employment rate up. some improvement in the labor participation rate as more u.s.

workers rejoin the workforce. the president putting these numbers from the white house on friday. >> the bottom line is jobs are up wages are up people and back to work and we are seeing some signs that inflation may be maybe i'm not over compensating may be beginning to ease. >> this jobs report coming amid some other bright spots on main street as well a report from the un showing world food prices are falling for a third month in a row. domestic gas prices continuing their fall as americans are traveling this labor day weekend. to talk more about this we want to bring in caleb silver editor in chief of -- it is great to talk to you. when economists puts it as this, allen gaskets, saying it is a very positive report, and still holds open the possibility for a soft winding. essentially saying pumping the brakes just a little bit as the fed has been doing so we avoid a recession and it seems as though this is an example of it actually working.

what do you make of this latest jobs report, and the assessment? >> good to be with you as always. it is more like a goldilocks job report. not too hot not too cold but a lot of job games in the industries that pay a bit better. if we look at, the professional and business services sector, up 68,000 jobs. health care jobs, of 48,000 jobs. retail trade, up 44,000 jobs. so the labor market continues to be strong and it is sort of belying the fact that we may be in an economic slowdown, or potentially a recession. a lot of job availability out there, we saw from the george report this week 11.4 million job openings. that is about to job openings for available workers. so there is still a lot of demand and slack in the labor force right now, and people are still hiring, and wages continue to rise. but they are just not keeping up with inflation, which is really high. >> that is where i want to talk more about it right? i think one of the biggest issues is that we are looking at inflation, and where it is that if you think about what it was before the pandemic, we were around 1.2% i believe of inflation.

now obviously, it is so much higher. one of the issues as wage growth. it is not keeping up with inflation. i believe one of the terms that you actually put out there it was only leisure and hospitality in which you saw wage growth go beyond inflation. how do you add more to wage growth here? >> wage growth puts pressure on companies and put pressure on their profit margins. you are seeing a lot of competitions right now. especially unprofessional and business services. it is very hard to retain workers, very hard to retain them when they are jumping to a job that pays even more, that may have extra benefits. but we have seen wage inflation especially in the lower paying jobs. leisure and hospitality, some in the retail sector some in the travel industry, except not keeping up with inflation. i think wage growth has been up 5.4% this year, inflation is at 8.4%. there is a pretty big gap there. it hurts lower income workers the most because they're just not keeping up with rising prices for food, electricity, and rent. >> it is there a fear here that the fed could pump the brakes so much so that it could cause more harm than good?

because he seems pretty committed to raise these interest rates. >> yeah. our pals in the federal reserve are saying we are going to continue to raise rates between three point 25 and 3.5% at the end of the year, or until inflation comes down to his target rate. its target rate is 2%, we are a long, long way from that. and yes we are seeing prices start to turn over a little bit, that is demand instruction. high prices, and prices are coming down because people are fearing a recession but they are just not coming down that fast. so a soft landing is going to be very very hard for the federal reserve to engineer. they're going to raise interest rates on september 21st, 22nd and again in november. probably one more time between the end of the year. the question is, how much, and how long will they keep rates that high? >> caleb silver we thank you we appreciate it. that wraps it up for me everybody, i am yasmin vossoughian, i will be back in the chair tomorrow simone sanders picks things up right now. simon sanders pick>> greetings, you ag

simone. we are kicking things off with new details from an unsealed list of what the fbi seized from mar-a-lago. including 10,000 u.s. government documents, photographs without classification markets. meanwhile, a federal judge is still deciding whether she will appoint a special mask as the former presidents team has requested. plus, can you imagine not having clean water to drink, or even be the wait for six days? that is a reality jackson mississippi residents are living in. the president, for one of the largest -- in the country, jackson state university will be joining us today to tell us how his students are navigating this crisis. we also need to talk about president biden's warning on the threat to our democracy. and what history tells us about how this situation in america could play o
