warrant to allow searching of an our yeah that might be occupied by different people in the household. if everyone has equal access to the space, that is probably fair game. >> reporter: the doj said the fbi retrieved hundreds of pages of highly sensitive material from the florida estate. and on saturday, the former president also taking aim at his successor. >> the most visual and hateful and divisive speech ever delivered by an american president. >> reporter: the 45th president blasting the 46th for the prime time address in which republicans were prosed as a threat to the country. >> maga forces are determined to take there country backwards. >> he's an enemy of the state. if you want to know the truth. >> reporter: but with the midterms two months away, the white house said president biden has no plans to stop criticizing the former president and his supporters. >> he has taken many -- present of times to call out the extreme

part of the republican party. and he will continue to do that. >> reporter: and joining us now is washington post national political reporter isaac ards. thank you so much for being with us. i want to start with the piece that you co-authored entitled trump plots aggressive midterm strategy seen in gop as double-edged sword. so could you mean by the double edged swords. >> in the primary, what we heard was trump's first general election rally. in the primaries he was the envy of all. his endorsement, his backing, every candidate wanted that and what you started to see almost immediately after those candidates won the primary was, taking trump off the top of their website, like dr. oz did. and starting to try to put some distance between themselves and trump.

because while he is the number one thing for primary voters, the republican base, with the general election electorate, it is a little bit of a different story. and so what strategists are trying to figure out, republican strategists both on the campaigns and the advisers around trump, is how do they leverage him to activate the base voters who they need to turn out, without turning off the moderates and independents who have going to decide the election in november. >> so you bring up an interesting point. but can republicans have it both ways? can they have him out there exciting the gop base, but not turn off the moderates and independents? and he is a lot about optics. so you see some of the rallies that he's been having and it looks like there is a good amount of peemt there. i don't know if that is true any more. there is reports that he's had trouble filling some of those

rallies. what are your thoughts on that? is this approach feasible? >> well that is the needle that they're trying to thread and there is definitely a recognition, if you get him out there, is he going to be on script? of course not 100% of the time. they want him talking about inflation and immigration. but he's going to be talking about mar-a-lago. he's going to be attacking mitch mcconnell instead of the democratic opponent in the senate race. so that is just going to go with the territory. that is some of what you're going to get with trump. and then there is this other question of, can you give him to go to the place where's they think he'll be the most helpful like north carolina and arizona and keep him away from states like we've heard wisconsin and new hampshire where they're more concerned about the impact that he would have in the general. >> all right -- >> when trump wants to go somewhere. he's going to go there. >> no doubt. we've seen that over the last

four plus years. but i want to ask you about the inventory that was seized from mar-a-lago last month. the judge released that list on friday. we just went over it a few moments ago. what stands out to you? because a lot of times we look at what the fbi found, there is something to be said about what they did not find during that search. which was these empty folders. i mean, what was in them and how dangerous is it and how significant is it that there were empty folders marked classified and there is no evidence of anything that was in them. we don't know what was in it. we don't know if it is important. obviously it is important. but how dangerous is that to our security, and how damaging is that to trump? >> well we still have a lot to learn here. the emmy folders are very tantalizing. but when you look at the state of the documents, you know, top secret, human sources, and intelligence mixed in with dinner menus and press

clippings, it is sort of speaks to that what was in those folders is not necessarily lost, as much as it is just out of place and jumbled together with a bunch of other stuff. so, really what is stood out to me about that is that the representations that the lawyers made on behalf of trump about the searches that they had done and where they had searched, and where the classified materials would or wouldn't be found, when the fbi went in they found something different. >> and is that concerning the way to you, the way everything was jumbled together. there have been former members of trump team saying that that is the way he operated. there wasn't lot of organization. we saw some of the classified documents in the folders mixed in with personal items and news clippings. i mean, the fact that there is the implication he may have treated those documents so carelessly. isn't that a concern as well?

>> well we know that was a concern for the officials at the national archives when they started reviewing this material. you think about it as like an archivists's worse nightmare to open up a box from the white house and see that is the state of it inside and that is what raised the concern that ultimately escalated to a subpoena and finally a search warrant. >> all right, "the washington post"'s isaac ardsendorf. thank you and have a good labor day. president biden seems to contradict his views on trump supporters being a threat to the country in his speech on thursday. biden described maga republicans as a threat to democracy. >> what is happening in our country today is not normal. donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our

republic. >> but the next day, when asked if he thought every trump supporter was a threat to the country, here was his response? >> i don't consider any trump supporter to be a threat to the country. i do think anyone who calls for the use of violence can cause violence because there is knowledge when the election has been won insisting on changing the way in which the rule of votes, that is a threat to democracy. democracy. >> a bit softer speech coming from the president there. the national republican senatal committee has blown through all of the funds it raised since early 2021. now "the new york times" reports the chair of the nrsc, rick scott green lit massive spending on digital ads, not to promote candidates for senate, but to

discover more small contributors. and while it initially brought in large amounts of donations, it has since stopped. by the end of july, the committee had collected a record $181.5 million. but spent nearly all of it entering august with just over $23 million on hand. today, the nrsc is raising less than before. the first charges levied by the new form election police unit may not lead to convictions after details cast doubt on possible intent. according to court documents obtained by nbc news, officials say that of the 20 people charged with voter fraud, many have said they received a voter registration card from a country -- from a county rather election supervisors an office and believes they were eligible to vote and others said they only returned registration cards to see if they were eligible to vote. additionally, there is confusion

over the type of prior convictions a voter is allowed to have in order to be eligible to vote. in order to convict someone of voter fraud in florida, the state must prove they intentionally and knowingly registered to vote or voted despite knowing they were ineligible to do so. >> after a mass stapping yesterday in canada left ten people dead and 15 other hospitalized. the stabbing spree occurred in annin digus community and nearby village in canada's saskatchewan province. police have identified two suspects in connection with the crimes. police say they are armed and dangerous and may have been traveling in a black nissan rogue. there is no information about a motive at this time. it is among one of the deadliest mass kills in canadian history. at least one person was killed and nine more remain missing including a child after

a float plane crashed sunday afternoon in puget sound. four coast guard vessels an an aircraft were involve in the search off the coast of washington state. two vessels continue searching through the night with air patrol set to continue at dawn. the cause of the crash is unknown. the plane went down in the bay about 30 miles northwest of downtown seattle. as a summer comes to an end this holiday weekend, american's travel to celebrate in numbers not seen since before the pandemic. now the rocky summer travel season is continuing this labor day with storms adding another layer of difficulty to holiday travel. maggie vespa reports from newark liberty airport in new jersey. >> reporter: after an excruciating summer of cancellations an delays, this holiday is going smoothly and then mother nature threw airlines a new curve ball. this amid a holiday travel surge

that is even putting pre-pandemic numbers to shame. it summer travels last gas and this morning new troubles. >> i woke up in the morning with a text message saying my flight was canceled. >> reporter: overnight receive or storms canceling flights and hundreds delayed as millions of americans head home today from a long holiday weekend. 82% of travelers hit the roads as gas prices continue to drop nationwide. >> we enjoy the travel in our vehicle and it is actually still a lot less expensive than flying. >> reporter: the rest taking to the skies. >> the line was long but they were steady. >> reporter: making it the busiest labor day weekend since before the pandemic. air travel up 2% from 2019. and after a summer plagued by staffing shortages and record-setting cancellations, now the airlines are getting back on track. american, delta, united and southwest all reducing routes to

help prevent delays. >> they've finally cut their schedule to a point that they can reasonably operate without these sort of widespread cancellations that were commonplace this summer. >> reporter: the results, fewer disruptions and packed planes. >> transportation secretary pete buttigieg demanding improvements and proposing changes to flight refund policies. >> overall it has not been acceptable. >> reporter: and the government launching a new dashboard remember to help passengers to zee tail what even airline will do if your travel plans are derailed. so again we're seeing the weather related curveballs but overall things have been getting better. we could harken back to memorial day. over the weekend we saw 2700 flight cancellations nationwide. cut now to labor day weekend, this weekend so far we've seen about 550, close to 600. so it has dropped. but the faa does note that travel tends to fall off a

little bit heading into the end of summer and early fall and then picked back up again in november and december. so they do expect more capacity related challenges heading into the holidays. back to you. >> thanks to nbc's maggie vespa for that report. up next, it is an emotional week in uvalde, texas, as kids prepare to go back to school for the first time since the tragic school shooting. we're also following the deadly floods causing major destruction in the south. we'll go live to georgia for the latest. meanwhile, in california, millions are told to conserve power as extreme heat stretches the state's power grid to its limit. also ahead this hour, a story that brought a smile to the face of millions across the country this weekend. video of a 16-year-old drummer at a foo fighters' concert is going viral. we'll explain why and the story behind that piece of video. that is next. ♪♪ lergies don't have to be scary.

uvalde schools will reopen tomorrow for the first time since the deadly shooting at robb elementary which took the lives of 19 children and two teachers. the school district is installing security improvements such as fencing, new door locks and over 500 security cameras. officers and staff are also required to take part in specific police training n. addition, the district is partnering with telehealth to connect children with mental health resources. however the "wall street journal" reports quote, a number of parents said they have lost trust in the school district for not providing enough accountability as evidence has come about, the response to the massacre including that law enforcement waited outside of the classroom where vikes were bleeding to death for more than an hour. over the weekend, members of the

houston texans football team visiting uvalde, surprising the high school football team at dinner and picking up the tab. the nfl team also hosted football camps and clinics and attended the high schooler's first game on friday night. they wore stickers on their helmet that read uvalde strong. joining us now, reporter for the "wall street journal," elizabeth findel. we just read from some of your report that is titled back to school week in uvalde, texas, brings decisions, fear. what were some of the decisions made and i read the article and i know some this parents are still apprehensive that those decisions go far enough. and understandably so. they're scared. >> sure. of course. after any school shooting you would have children afraid of going back to school. but i think this one is even more pronounced because there

was so much fallout of course over the summer with the law enforcement questions, the investigation, the school police chief being the focus of much of it. so parents have been weighing whether to send their kids back to the public schools in person, whether to take advantage of an online school option that is being offered, or whether to take them out and put them somewhere else, in private school or home schooling or anything. >> yeah and it seems that these parents are in a place where it is an impossible decision, right, to figure out what is the best avenue for their children going forward. but with some of the changes, if you could just talk about some of the changes that the schools have made but are there any changes on behalf of law enforcement? because that is what really dropped the ball in this situation. the fact that these officers

didn't go in. >> right. right, i mean, they say that law enforcement is receiving new training. but it is -- there hasn't been a lot of detail provided on that. the school district did not respond to interview requests for my story. they have directed people towards a lot of public comments that have been made speaking generally about the safety improvements and the -- there are going to be more officers, i believe coming in from the assistance of the state, at least in the early dates and they say for training. but there is not a lot of clarity on that front. >> yeah, and i guess it is disturbing, i mean, when you're saying that they wouldn't respond to your requests, some of the criticism has been the lack of transparency, right. not only the lack of

accountability, but it is just seeming like everyone was digging for answers when they should have been offered up considering the magnitude of this tragedy. what is the continued hesitancy who talk about who whats responsible and what changes need to be made and who should be leading that community in law enforcement there. that has to be disturbing to parents as well. >> yes, there has been a lack of transparency. for me, they essentially said that they were all very busy, getting ready for the start of the school year. so i should look at what has been -- what they've said publicly at school board meetings. one concern of a number of the parents was just that it had taken them three months to fire school police chief pete arredondo who caught the flack for the law enforcement response.

he was the commander at the scene though he didn't believe he was the commander at the scene. and he was fired three months to the day after the shooting. but many parents thought it should have happened a lot more quickly than that. and i think what will -- who will take his place is i think will need to be fully determined. >> yeah. well it certainly is tragic what should be sort of a celebratory time for students, heading back to the new school year, that community is just riddled with uncertainty and our hearts go out to the families and their children as well. thank you so much. elizabeth findel. still ahead, extreme heat in california is putting a major strain on the state's power grid and fuelling devastating wildfires. meanwhile, parts of the south are still under water this morning. we'll have a look at extreme weather impacting millions across the country.

mississippi, nearly a week after state officials declared an emergency. dean chriswell said in an interview, it is still to early to tell when residents could expect clean drinking water. we have a lot more to learn about what is going on to get that plant up and running. water supply in jackson remains unsafe for the 150,000 residents to drink, or brush their teeth with this week. after water treatment pumps failed. meanwhile, parts of georgia and indiana are now dealing with major flooding as well. let's bring in nbc news correspondent george solace who is live in heart hit somerville, georgia. you could update us on the latest? >> reporter: good morning, erin. the weather cooperating somewhat. it is still dreary here. occasionally you have a little bit of rain that falls. residents right now feeling like they've caught a major break. some of the high waters that we saw overnight receding.

but make no mistake, a lot of businesses here, roads completely impacted by the high waters. the flash flooding in this region. and so a number of businesses that will start to open up this morning will begin to assess some of the damage in the region. the damage though already done in this region. a number of businesses and homes under a boil water advisory and we should note a state of emergency declared by the government for the county which is where we're at. the officials here grateful for the drainage system in the town. we've seen this fail in other cities before which leads to the pools of water staying stagnant for long periods of time. here the water moving fairly swiftly. but people are nervous by what they've seen. this came very fast and some people were caught off guard. the mayor addressing the state of emergency and some of the conditions as the floodwaters began to rise. here is what he had to say. >> it is going to be at least a

day or two before we could assess the damages that have taken place at our water plant. >> reporter: again, erin, right now a lot of businesses opening up and starting to assess some of the damage. we should note that a number of community churches here are actually going to be giving out bottled water and clothes throughout the day here to help out their fellow neighbors. anyone that was impacted by the flash flooding, anybody that may have lost water or may not be able to get any water for several days as begin the assessment and many wondering what resources they could be able to get. but again right now residents feeling like they dodged a bullet. they're keeping a close eye on the readers and hoping that more rain doesn't impact this region. erin. >> hopefully mother nature will cooperate over the next few weeks. george solace, thank you. and on the west coast, california is bracing for potential blackouts and deadly

fires and thunderstorms and flash flooding throughout the mountain and desert regions as teams are expected to reach triple-digits in some areas. "the los angeles times" this morning leads with that warning as the heat wave is expected to break records. for more, let's bring in nbc news correspondent steve patterson, live in los angeles. hopefully with a fan nearby. >> reporter: yeah, well let's start with what that extreme heat is currently fuelling. the two devastating wildfires in northern california. just burning a few miles apart at this point. fueled by that extremely hot weather. the bone dry vegetation and the wind picking up, devastating communities, the mill fire in particular responsible for two dead so far. at least 100 homes have burped. but maybe more is the estimation. that fire started on friday. picked up by that wind. expanded to 4200 acres. that is where it is at right now.

thankfully it is 40% contained. so firefighters have gotten a little bit of a hold on it. but they're still dealing with the separate fire to the north, the mountain fire. much larger. close to 9,000 acres. thankfully that fire burning in a much more rural area. but imagine fighting these fires in 100 plus degree heat. that is what firefighters are dealing with. we're not even in the worst of it and speaking of that heat wave, it is across the entire west, 50 million under excessive heat warnings. as we speak, the heat is just devastating to so many communities here. so dangerous that it is -- leaders are telling people to shelter in place right now. it is devastating to the power grid because at this point starting today the demand could start outstripping the supply. there is about 50,000 megawatts worth of energy that is expected to be used if not today then tomorrow. so everybody is telling people to try to conserve as much as

they possibly can. which means to try to lower your and raise your thermostat. hard thing to do when you're dealing with 100 plus degree days, every single day, seven days in a row in southern california. same thing in northern california and in the central valley where our food is produced, 110 degrees days. but it could lead to roving blackouts which are far more devastating for so many here in the state of california but across the west, the warnings expected to continue throughout the week, erin. back to you. >> difficult situation, when kids are heading back to school. steve patterson, thank you. russia said a suicide bomber killed two diplomats of its embassy in afghanistan. according to the russian foreign ministry, the exposition happened earlier today as afghans were waiting in line for updates about their visas. moscow called the bombing an unacceptable terrorist act and said it has increased security

disaster. just outside of the city, the scars of battle are evident at europe's largest nuclear power plant. >> impact hose, markings on buildings. so it means that the physical integrity of the facility has been violated. not once, but several, several times. >> reporter: shelling has knocked out the main power line to the plant, leaving just one of the six massive reactors operational. with the facility under the control of the russian soldiers, but still being run by ukrainian scientists. indeed inspectors remain on site providing at least a bit of comfort for those coping outside of the facility. >> i hope they could change and improve the situation. because we really need some control there. and i hope that they could help us. because if there is no control,

people there who can look on this, i think that it will be just something awful. >> reporter: as families hold each other a little tighter now, many like this grandmother also clinging to the hope children will, she says, grow up in a free country that they will love ukraine. >> nbc's jay gray with that report. coming up, we'll bring you the latest developments in the abduction of a tennessee teacher after kplis connected a suspect to the crime. and new details in the death of a top executive at bed bath & beyond. and plus the foo fighters play tribute to their late drummer. it is a performance you definitely want to see. we'll be right back. ♪♪

an arrest has been made in the abduction of a kindergarten teacher in memphis, tennessee. 38-year-old cleo ab sten is being held by police in connection with the abduction of eliza fletcher. she was last seen jogging near the university of memphis campus at 4:30 a.m. on friday when she was forced into a dark colored suv. a person exited the suv when fletcher went by and ran toward her and forced her into the passenger side of the vehicle. leaving behind fletcher's cell phone and water bottle. along with sandals that dna evidence linked to absten. witnesses also report seeing ab sten cleaning the interior of the suv used in the abduction. he's been charged with aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence. fletcher is a granddaughter of a billionaire who ran a memphis

based hardware distributor and a an heiress to the company fortune. fletcher is still missing and the suspect is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow. a new york city medical examiner said the chief financial officer of bed bath & beyond took his own life over the weekend. police responded to a scene in lower manhattan on friday where a man later identified as gustavo arnal was found dead. had comes amid financial struggles for the company whose stock is down 43% this year. just two days before his death, the company announced plans to shutter 150 of the u.s. stores. and cut 20% of its staff. and this news comes at the start of national suicide prevention week. with us now is clinical psychologist dr. emily anholt, from the companycoa, which is described as an online gym for

mental health with fitness classes and i love this idea because we talk about how important it is to take care of your body and go to the gym and work out but mental wellness is equally if not more important and your company is based around the seven traits of emotional fitness. you could describe what those are? >> absolutely. so we're working to make mental health care as proactive and successful and community based as physical fitness is and we due do this threw the seven straights of emotional fitness. these are the seven things that emotionally healthy people are working on all of the time. self-awareness, empathy, mindfulness, curiosity and placefulness and resilience and communication. and with we work on this every day, we might prevent the mental health struggles that send us seeking more crisis type support down the line. >> and there has been a lot of

talk about mental wellness and the importance of taking care of yourself. especially because of the pandemic that seems to be never ending and that we've dealt with for the last few years. what, in your opinion, what kind of effect has it had on mental health of americans and what can we do in addition to what you're doing to really improve the direction that we're going in? >> you know, in truth, the effect that i've seen the pandemic has is that it is mostly exacerbated things people were already struggling with. so it is put us in touch with the things we probably need support with and to work on. if you are already worried about money, then you're worried now. and if you felt loney and disconnected. that is tough for you right now. and the goal i believe, though, is to work on your mental health in on ongoing and proactive way. no one gets through life without
