as we come on the air, we're looking at markets taking a dive off the new economic data out today. you see wall street down two-plus points at least on the dow. we will talk about why the markets are not liking what they're seeing and what it all means for the fed against inflation. breaking down the numbers for you, including some big disparities about who exactly is jobless out there. all as president biden last hour defending the administration's economic response in a visit to maryland. you know what he is not talking about? the fallout from his warning of

a potential nuclear armageddon with russia. what his staff is saying this afternoon, as we take you live to the white house and to moss couple of i'm hallie jackson in washington and with me now is nbc news correspondent josh lederman traveling with the president in hagerstown, maryland. tom costello and global markets reporter with us, too. we saw the big board red, not green like we've seen earlier this week. talk about why investors are so spooked here. >> hallie, a number of top advisers telling me interest rates are heading even higher and wall street wanted to seat job -- wanting to see the job market start to cool and average hourly earnings increasing, and the chair fed has reiterated in the past in order to get inflation down, the job market needs to cool and until it does, interest rates will head even higher a rising rate environment has been challenging for the

stock market. that is why the dow is down over 600 points right now. and for companies that increase their cost of debt, not to mention the pressures of the u.s. housing market, we've already seen demand soften and prices have come down, and as i was just looking at the latest fed funds estimate, right now it is calling for a 75 basis points hike in the november meeting, which would be the fourth consecutive rate hike. that's going to take aim at household budgets, and now we await for that next cpi inflation report out next week. one of the discussions we've been having around wall street is centered around earnings, and major semiconductor company today, amd, revising down its financial outlook, and do we start to see more earnings revisions? especially as rates rise and the dollar continues to strength be. >> thank you, let me turn to you, with the president as he was speaking at the volvo factory where you are in maryland. how he frames this economic moment is critical to him and the white house as we are about a month out from the midterms. >> yes, sure is critical, and

we've heard the biden white house and frankly the federal reserve in the past talk about trying to get this soft landing for the u.s. economy, as they try to ease the overheated climate that has fueled inflation, and higher prices over the last year, without tipping the u.s. into an economic recession. and really trying to strike that balance that doesn't create any additional structural problems, but makes sure the economy is in a strong position going forward. and that is exactly how president biden attempted to frame the current state of the economy, as he took a victory lap today on the new job numbers, while visiting this vehicle factory here as he tried to talk about a renaissance for american manufacturing. take a listen to what president biden had to say. >> we have to go from historically strong economic recovery to a more steady stable recovery. we need to bring inflation down, without giving up all of the historic economic progress that working class and middle class people have made.

and that's exactly what we're seeing. the pace of job growth is cooling, while still powering in our recovery forward. >> and hallie, president biden did not touch his remarks from last nice about president putin and -- last night about president putin and nuclear weapons as he spoke to the volvo lant here today but did speak about russia in another context which is the gas prices starting to inch up against and president biden says his policies have contributed to lowering gas prices, more than a 1.60 off of what the highs were, and saying that the reason that they're starting to creep up is because of what russia and saudi arabia did. he is of course alluding to the opec decision and president biden hinting he has more action to take on that saying he is not done with that yet. >> thank you, josh. tom, let me turn to you. break down the numbers what they mean for the long term and what does it mean, as a lot of people are already on the cusp of the holiday season. >> i think a lot of people at home would be forgiven for saying wait a minute, it's bad

news that the economy is back at a 50-year low on the unemployment rate 3.5%, and bad news that wages are going up? how is that possible. 263,000 jobs created of that's bad news? here's why. and you know, you got a hint of it here. but because the economy is not cooling, the fed wants to see unemployment rise, and you think wait a minute, why would the central bank want to see unemployment rise? because it's the only way that they can cool the economy and bring inflation under control. and therefore, yes, the fed wants to see unemployment rise to about 4.5% or so, and again, we're at 3.5%, 50-year lows, stunning. but here's how it breaks down. here's what we saw the jobs created. 263,000 jobs. here's the sectors that we saw the growth in. leisure are, and hospitality, 83,000 jobs. health care had 60,000 jobs. professional services, business, 46,000. manufacturing, 22,000. construction, 19,000.

a bit of a dip there in financial activities and also in transportation and warehousing. but the bottom line remains that if you want a job in this economy, there's still jobs available for you. >> tom, thank you, tom costello, thank you. appreciate all of you starting off this afternoon. and other news, including president biden not responding to shouting questions from reporters about the stunning warning about nuclear weapons in russia. this is a quote. we have not faced the prospect of armageddon since kennedy and the cuban missile crisis. adding russian president vladimir putin as soon as bluffing saying we use nuclear weapons to defend russia. u.s. officials say there is no signal russia is imminently going to use nukes however and in moscow, intention in the inner circle of putin reportedly growing, putin was reportedly directly con fronned how he handled the war in ukraine and

the criticism so significant it made it into president biden's daily intelligence briefing according to the post, say people familiar with the matter. nbc news chief international correspondent keir simmons is joining us live from moscow. and keir, there is new fullout today from what the president said overnight, when he talking about the direct threat of a use of a nuclear weapon if in fact things continue down the the path it is going. talk about the warning and how it is being referred in moscow and the new developments this afternoon where you are. >> reporter: well, the white house this afternoon actually reassuring people, reassuring, if it is the right word, that they haven't seen a change in the nuclear posture in russia and the u.s. has not changed its posture either but we have seen extraordinary words from president putin here in moscow and it has president biden worried. and you mentioned in the "washington post," the report, it has president biden worried too, i suspect, that president putin has the divisions inside his inner circle now.

and that's no surprise. he's known about that for a long time. there were always divisions inside the kind of kremlin and kremlin circle, if you like, and that's perhaps not surprising. but at the same time, i think president putin can see, president bide condition see, that president putin is somewhat up against a wall and has some difficult choices, and perhaps the choice is to escalate. president biden saying he is not joking to president putin, when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons, or biological or chemical weapons. adding, if the president, president biden, wants to get a message to president putin, one way is to make headlines in the american media. and he is certainly doing that. >> you are on the ground in moscow, keir. you're talking with folks there. tell us more about that, what you're hearing from people. >> reporter: well, look, russians are no different from americans or anyone else around the world in the sense that they are frightened by the idea of a

nuclear war, or a nuclear missile, or a nuclear escalation. of course, it scares everybody. going out in the streets talking to ordinary russians, many of them disbelieving. >> this is all a political game. just words. muscle play. he tells me. >> no, we don't need it. we don't want it. >> it's scary. >> reporter: and experts here tell us that russia's nuclear doctrine really prevents it from using a nuclear weapon, except in the case of an existential threat. and again, the challenge here is that president putin hinting around, with the kremlin, wondering what his next step should be. and i think the most noteworthy thing that president biden had to say, ha he is trying to figure out what president

putin's off-ramp are. >> so are a lot of folks. keir simmons in moscow, thank you very much. thank you for being there. let me bring in nbc news white house correspondent monica alba, we heard from keir, and a camera offcamera at the gala, the president has been consistent on this issue and it is a factual statement, monica, to say that president biden is going beyond what any member of his administration with any credibility has said in the past about the nuclear threat posed by russia here. help us understand how the white house is trying to square that circle. >> certainly, and of course, you can search for whether president biden has used the word armageddon in the last couple of months, talking about this, and we can absolutely say that that is not the case. last night was the first time he raised this prospect of a perhaps world-ending nuclear war, when talking about the conflict in ukraine, and what russia is capable of. and we do need to remind everybody that the president said these comments on the record, they weren't on camera either, and it was to a group of donors, he said that he knows

russian president putin personally, and that he does know him fairly well, and that he doesn't believe that he's joking when it comes to some of these threats of tactical nuclear weapons, of chemical or biological warfare. what the white house is trying to say now, is that they have been warning about the possibility of this for some time, but what is different here is that we have been asking the administration repeatedly, or people like secretary of state blinken, is there any new evidence, any new u.s. intelligence, that has shifted that to a point where now the president would make a different statement, or take a new stance, and the important thing to point out here is that the u.s. and the press secretary said today that there is no such new information, that there is no reason to change our strategic nuclear posture. so while the president did use those very grim words, in the starkest tone, in the most severe and stern of possible warnings, the white house is saying nothing fundamentally has

changed. instead, it's president biden trying to be clear about how he sees this playing out. and again, it's important to note here, and remind people, that the president didn't talk about this today, throughout his several appearances. he was on camera giving those remarks on the economy. he didn't talk about this. he didn't talk to reporters about this. so this is something he said behind closed doors, but on the record last night, and we'll see if and when he raises it again. >> monica, live outside the white house, thank you. coming up here on the show, we're live on the campaign trail with senator rafael warnock as he defends himself in a critical georgia race. and the justice department thinks former president trump could have more white house documents. first, some breaking news, in uvalde, texas, where the entire police force has been suspended. we will talk about what we know so far in a live report next. w so far in a live report next so you can easily manage your team's devices.

we've got breaking news to

get to out of uvalde, texas where the school district is suspending the entire police force today. the entire police department. off the job. pointing to what they described as recent developments that they say have uncovered additional concerns. it's just the latest big fallout from the response to the mass shooting at rob elementary that killed 19 students and two teachers. i want to bring in now nbc's gabe guiterrez. a couple of questions here. logistically, what does suspending police activity look like for schools in uvalde and do we know anything else about the developments that the district is citing? >> reporter: there are several things. first, this is what many families in uvalde have been asking for. you will remember those dramatic school board meetings, where there was so much frustration pouring out, and not too long ago, the police chief of that school district, pete arredondo, had been fired. now the whole department is being suspended. we should note, it is not a very big department, of course, it is about five officers, and the security guard, and we do not know exactly what the

developments were. it's not in that statement. but i can tell you within the past several days, there has been a brewing controversy in uvalde because a former dps trooper, that's the department of public safety, trooper, who we understand was under investigation for her actions during the massacre, or potentially lack thereof, she was hired, just within the past few days, by the school district, and when that came out, just about two days ago, she was then fired just yesterday. so this comes amid that controversy. the school district has released a statement, talking about what is coming up and how they do not believe that this will affect student safety. because now, essentially, the department of public safety will take over school security. still that raises a lot of questions and here's part of that statement and i will read. >> it the district has requested the texas department of public safety to provide additional troopers for campus and extra curricular activities, we are

confident that staff and student safety will not be compromised during this transition. . of course, the texas dps has been under intense criticism for its response to the massacre. no word yet on how long this police department will be suspended. again, just about five officers. but this is what many of those families who have been so outraged, because of the police response, have been calling for. thank you. the justice department still worried former president trump might be holding on to white house documents, nbc news, saying that a top counter-intelligence official conveyed that concern. and envelopes bearing classified markings with a search of mar-a-lago, similar to the ones you're seeing here. the fbi removed 1 sets of classified documents during that search and a spokesperson

calling it a witch hunt and several previous presidents held on to their own records. reporting by the post, mr. trump is the first president since richard nixon to try to keep personal possession of these documents that belonged to the office of the presidency, not the individual. let's bring in ken dilanian. ken, it seems like it is still unclear right now if the d.o.j. flows for sure that there are missing documents but they sure suspect it. so talk about next steps here. >> that's exactly right. it's unclear to what extent they have evidence that trump or people around him are intentionally hiding documents. but the fact that the top counter-intelligence official communicated this concern to trump's lawyers, after sort of weeks of signaling, in court documents, that they suspected they didn't have all of the documents, that seems to be an escalation, and it does raise a question of what do they do if they're sure. and a couple of ways to go. they can get another search warrant, and if they think there are documents at another trump location that are being concealed from them. or some lawyers have said there

are other things they can do. they can try to get former president trump to swear under oath that he has given all of the classified documents. after all, they have already sent a grand jury subpoena demanding all of these documents. so with the trump side to be withholding them, they're in violation of the law if that's the case. so there are some levers the d.o.j. can pull. they haven't gotten there yet. so we will have to see how this react. >> ken, thank you. still ahead brand new comments from the nbc news team from the democratic senate candidate in georgia, what he just said about the controversy surrounding his opponent herschel walker. plus our team is on the ground in arizona where former president trump is set to rally for republicans this weekend. vaughn hillyard is all over this one from phoenix. >> the sole debate between blake masters and mark kelly last night, and donald trump is coming to town to campaign with his slate of republican candidates. this is go time. and the super pac is not only spending here, but spend can in the likes of ohio, pennsylvania, georgia, and this is a major week for the midterm elections.

nbc news from democratic senate candidate in georgia rafael warnock on the bombshell allegations from the daily beast that his republican opponent herschel walker who has run on anti-abortion platform, paid for a woman to get one in 2009, and that the same woman is the mother of one of his children. here is senator warnock. >> we have seen some disturbing things, we've seen a disturbing pattern, and it raises real questions about who is actually ready to represent the people of georgia in the united states senate. >> reiterating the disturbing piece of this, and that's something that we also heard this week and we should note that nbc news has not verified the allegations against walker. walker has repeatedly denied them. he for his part is not on the trial today but walker is launching the first tv ad since the abortion allegations surfaced and addressed the claims and that's not the only midterm action happening across the country. look at what is going down in arizona. where former president trump is making a new push to try to boost republicans there.

he is said to be on the campaign trail this weekend, rallying for gop senate candidate blake masters and gop candidate for governor kari lake. we want to bring in ali in macon georgia, and vaughn hillyard in phoenix, arizona. ali, let's start with you and going on in georgia. talk about what we're hearing from both campaigns and how voters are reacting as we now get closer to voters actually beginning to cast their ballots in the state. >> yes, well, we haven't been able to hear much from herschel walker. he is actually not publicly campaigning today. we do know he is holding a private virtual event later today. but we have been out here in macon, georgia, with the warnock campaign. up until now, up until today, really, warnock has largely avoided referencing the latest allegations against his republican opponent herschel walker. that sentiment was largely the same today during the rally. he didn't mention walker's name once. he did, although, reach out and talk about reproductive rights

being on the ballot and abortion being on the ballot and he called out to some pro-right demonstrators across the street, on his mega phones trying to interrupt his rally, and he reiterated his views on this issue, saying he's a man of faith, and respects the right to choose, but you and i both know, that most political candidates in his position, would probably be more inclined to use the latest allegations as political ammunition, and political fuel, to their advantage, to be able to use it, especially in these last few weeks, until the midterm election, these consequential midterm elections. so i asked him after his rally why he is not doing that, and we played a little bit of list response at the top there, he told me he and his opponent couldn't be, the differences between he and his opponent couldn't be more obvious, that these are disturbing allegations, that it is a disturbing pattern, and it raises real questions, and real issues. that was the sentiment also among supporters here at this rally in macon. i asked them why they think he

is not directly addressing this, and directly reacting to these latest allegations against herschel walker. take a listen to what they had to say. >> i think what walker is doing is speaking to -- >> i think he has been ignoring the campaign. >> that's who he is. that shows who he is. >> i also asked senator warnock, as well as these voters, whether they think this issue will come up on the debate stage next week. and these voters told me they hope it doesn't. they hope the focus stays on the issues at hand. these are issues that republicans are banking on, the economy, and rising gas prices and in flakes and the democratic voters i spoke with today say they hope that the debate doesn't revolve about the personal drama around the candidate and they stay with the issues. >> thank you. >> vaughn, let me turn to you in arizona where former president trump will be rallying this weekend. "politico" is also reporting his new super pac is putting out ads

for senate races in ohio and pennsylvania. so this is the former president trying to flex his midterm muscle here, hoping to have some success. looking at the score card so far for candidates he's endorsed. and it is very different obviously in a general, versus a primary, as blake master is certainly finding out. >> right, and work with me here, if you could. we are -- >> always. >> about 115 hours away from voting beginning in the state of arizona. and this is a state with a long history of early voting and that's why donald trump is coming now and that's why ted cruz and liz chainy were here. you mentioned the question about at what point would donald trump try to boost these candidates that he helped elevate in their primaries. and that moment is happening now. but his context to it, it is not just ohio and pennsylvania, i was just told in the last few minutes, they're investing not only in nevada but blake masters here in arizona. but to put it in perspective,

they are investing about $3 million worth of tv ads so far. there is more than $100 million, sitting in that pot of money, that donald trump holds the keys to. so put that all in perspective here, and blake masters is getting heavily outspent here, and so it is important context to note, while donald trump is campaigning for these folks, essentially helping elevate their message, and getting out those trump voters to come back, and down-ballot candidates, money-wise, these republican candidates are still getting outswept by democrats. >> you're there in arizona with the debate last night and what can you tell us about what is next and not in debate but the microcosm and where the midterms are around the country. >> i think last night's debate, which we were at between blake masters and mark kelly, really distilled what their messaging is in the final weeks here. the first half of the debate, it was really the sweet spot for blake masters, hitting on the economy, and inflation, and immigration, trying to place the blame on mark kelly and the democrat controlled senate and the house and the democrat

controlled white house. essentially putting the onus on democrat mark kelly and used sinemas a a crutch making the case if it weren't for the other senator from here, the other democrat who essentially squashed build back better, we would be in a worse place, because mark kelly is the one who has been a rubber stamp for everything ha joe biden has put forward. but then on the other hand, the back half of the debate, you heard mark kelly really take hold of the issues he is going to focus on in these final days, and that was the abortion issue, saying that he wants the protections to return to what they were under roe v. wade, and then also the 2020 election, and putting the focus on blake masters who told us this summer that he would have objected to the 2020 election results, and he was trying to put forward that if it were not for republicans, like his opponent standing on the stage, we could be headed for chaos, in 2024, in this democracy. >> vaughn hillyard, in phoenix. and ali rafa in macon, thank you, both. and next up our team's exclusive reporting on why

today. >> there is a lot of talk by stewart rhodes about the insurrection act invocation and he thinks it will give them a lot of power, to essentially step in. there's talk earlier this week during the trial about potentially baiting members of antifa into attacking the oath keepers so that they could give trump an excuse to invoke the insurrection act and that was the legal cover they were giving to all of this. there was a lot of this discussion. stewart rhodes in one message apologizes for not being able to advise some of the folks who were planning this operation on january 6th until pretty late in the game because he was in communication, he said, with groups that were asking the president what to do. and another part that stuck out and fully appreciated by the jury, because it might be protected by attorney-client privilege, but it was briefly shown in court today, and it is message between stewart rhodes and kelgy cirell, she is an

individual who is also charged in connection with january 6th and the general counsel for the oath keepers and in the message, stewart rhodes says this is dc rally number three. getting kind of old. they don't give a blank how then show up and wave a sign and pray or yell. they won't fear us until we come with rifles in hand. pretty direct about what he is talking about here, in addition to the open letters he was posting trying to get the president to invoke the insurrection act and saying there were a lot of folks with a bunch of guns stored outside of dc and the moment they were called up by trump, the oath keepers would step in. so it is a pretty fascinating trial. this will continue for the next five or six weeks here. >> and i know you will shall all over it. ryan riley, thank you. to nbc news exclusive reporting now, far right influencers online targeting doctors who provide gender affirming care, transgender kids, and these doctors reporting a troubling rise of disturbing rise of online threats an intimidation including bomb threats leading

and it is not just them. it's people like ted cruz, who tweeted, about this one specific doctor, in wisconsin, and he said that she sterilizes children. without their consent. and obviously not true. that's not what happened. and when we reach out for the people, and this is what they responded with. why are you defending genital mutilation of minors. that's what we they responded with when we told them this woman does not tear lize children and receiving all of these threats from people on the internet. >> part of this, ben, let me ask you two things here, because what we're seeing here on a micro level, with the targeting of these doctors, it feels like part of a bigger picture of conservative pushback on lbgtq + issues. there is an effort in the republican-led states to restrict health care for transgender and you reported it on, i reported about that and there is a nexus between that and social media.

>> absolutely. it steals from the anti-abortion play book of the early 2000s. in the early 2000s, there was a guy who created a the nuremberg files and trying to equate abortion with the holocaust. and he listed the names and locations of all of the abortion doctors in the united states, that he didn't want to do abortions anymore. and those people were targeted. they were maimed. they were hurt. some were killed in bombings and shootings over the next few months and years. when they were killed or maimed, we cross their names out on this website. and this eventually made it so he was sued successfully for $170 million, years later, because of what he did. so this is not a new playbook. it is directly from older far right play books targeting doctors on the internet. >> there is also, you know, you talk about some of these accounts that are going after these doctors, targeting these doctors, and involved in this process, and there is sometimes

a sense that some of these accounts delight in being called out for some of this. >> oh, yes, they love it. it gets them more attention. they can fundraise off of that. and tiktok, it is in part funded by the guy who runs the babylon, the far right's version of the onion or the right wing's version of the onion, pretty aligned with elon musk, and these people are, these people really delight in getting banned, and they think it is a badge of honor can they want to get banned so they can build a following on alternative social media platforms. make money fund raise that way. >> ben, thank you. next up, our team is on the road for hbcus across the south and black students at one of the schools saying that climate change could be the thing that drives their vote come november. watch. >> if you're breathing you're affected by climate change and affected by climate chaos and if you're black and breathing

country. talking to hbcu students about the climate crisis. >> and we're talking about schools that produce our nation's black doctors and journalists and politicians and journalists and rarely are we thinking about environmental scientists, and here, for these young people, folks on the environment, it is more certainly a life issue and also a political issue. let's take a look. >> on a bright saturday afternoon, under a clear tallahassee sky, students from florida a&m university's school of the environment are heading out to their classroom. and their classroom is appalachia bay. today's lesson, oysters are allies in the fight against climate change. they help clean polluted waters and over time, mature oyster reefs mitigate coastal flooding. >> when the water rises or storms happen the oyster bays

keep the storm water from coming too far inland and that's why they're important. >> last week, surges from hurricane ian devastated florida's gulf coast. while the bays near tallahassee were not directly hit in this storm, it is one of the most surge-prone areas in the country. the region has a rich history of oyster fishing. but overharvesting and rising water temperatures have depleted populations. the students are using the data gathering buoy to study them. >> u.v., and nitrogen and phosphorous levels. >> if you're breathing, you're affected by climate change. you're affected by climate chaos and if you're black and breathing you're disproportionately affected by climate chaos. >> she works at the institute and mentoring younger students like ben johnson a fourth year

environmental studies major. >> seeing the representation for people that look like me to be in this field and to be doing this, it is a ton of fish. >> and the president of the bishop club. >> this is a network. and people might have job opportunities for these students. >> more than half of gen zers and millennialss say that climate change is affecting their local community. that's especially true for young black americans, who often come from areas more likely to be impacted by air pollution, flooding, and extreme heat. >> when these water levels and things start to rise and land starts to warp, it's these black and brown neighborhoods in these minority communities who are in these places that are directly affected by these things. >> reporter: this summer, president biden signed the inflation reduction act, which includes $369 billion for climate and energy programs, and tackles environmental justice priorities. democrats hope the law might draw jung black voters to the polls. >> when you're thinking about voting for a politician, what's your checklist? >> at the top of my checklist is

always where their head is at with environmental policy. if they get elected, how are they going took effect my community? like, my community, black and brown people, minority people, and environmentally, those are the top two things i look at when i'm voting, period. >> reporter: but for the students at famu, change starts with them. >> why does this matter this work? >> i know they think that it's climate change, and what problems it's causing, in different parts of the world, so these helps give us a little insight on what's actually going on. >> reporter: the fate of these oysters and the communities that call florida's gulf coast home might just depend on the ratler moji and the young scientists behind it, carrying the future in their hands. hallie, i'll tell you what, talking to these young black environmental scientists, it's interesting to see that it's not lost on them that just as their school, famu, is kind of mission oriented, so are they. they realize that young black and brown and poor indigenous communities are on the front

lines of some of these -- this climate chaos that jordan roberts talked about and they want to make a change. >> you know, tremaine, i wondered, did it surprise you that climate change was so high on the list of issues that was important to them, or did you kind of expect it given what they're devoting their college career to studying here, which is the environment? >> in some ways, yes. you think about the fight over reproductive rights, you think about some of the political issues around gerrymandering. you think about ongoing law enforcement issues that we face here in america. and for these young black students to say, you know what, the environment is on the top of the list, because the air that you breathe, the water that you drink, think about what's happening in jackson, mississippi, right now, the struggles over water and infrastructure, it all affects you before you can even think about casting a ballot. you have to think about how you're living and breathing. and for those young people who said, you know, we live here in florida, especially, we are those fence line communities that feel it first. i wasn't surprised, once you start talking to these young people who have such a great understanding around some of these complicated issues, but again, they're not going to wait around for a politician to do

something. they're taking matters into their own hands. >> trymaine lee, great to see you, live from tallahassee, florida. you can catch his latest episode of "into america," the power of the black vote starting now wherever you get your podcast. be sure to tune in. listen, it is like 3:53 eastern time, 12:53 out west. we're just a couple of minutes away from the closing bell on the markets. here's a quick check. the dow looks to be ready to close, unless something bananas happens in the next seven minutes. down 2% at 638, 37, right around there loss for the day. this is all after that september jobs report. i want to bring in our business and tech reporter who's all over the story. we've been on the air a couple of times in the past week. guess what, we have good news about the markets. they are in the green, they are going up. this is like an october rally. this wipes out, if i'm not mistaken, most of the rally we've seen in the seven days this month so far, yeah? >> yeah, i certainly hope nothing happens in the next seven minutes, bulb we're looking at a market that's down

about 2%. it's been a slow slide since the jobs report we got at 8:30 this morning, showing 263,000 jobs added in the month of september. as you mentioned, yes, it's a down day on this friday. but also remember that we had some green days that we talked about earlier in this week, as well. so if you look at just kind of a five-day, it still kind of washes out when you take a look at the dow jones, up about 1.9% since the opening market on monday morning. so it's not all that bad in the span of things. but of course, all of this is just spelling out more concern from investors about what the federal reserve is going to have to do to slow this economy. one interpretation of the jobs report this morning was that because wage growth still remains pretty hot, that could be one factor into inflation that is still bleeding into this economy. 8.3% was the year over year measure from the last time we got inflation, maybe the fed has to move even more aggressively to make borrowing costing more expensive in this economy, to try to slow the amount of demand and economic activity, to try to

slow that inflation. fed's next meeting will be the first week of november and the market pricing out from the jobs report this morning is that the fed will have to go with another aggressive three quarters percentage point of a move in that meeting. >> what about went we look ahead to next week and the inflation report that's set to come out. that could maybe change things, maybe not. >> yeah, thursday morning next week is when we'll get the next read on the consumer price index. that's one of the major reads on inflation. the expectation is for that year over year number to come down between the last time we got a measurement, whether or not that actually happens is going to remain on a number of factors. but what's really interesting is that we need to look beyond the month -- the monthly figures, because it's not going to go back down to, let's say, for example, 2%. but does it go down to maybe 7%? we'll have to see on thursday morning next week. >> brian chung, thank you for that late-breaking, late-developing update. thank you. we'll keep an eye on how the markets do close and keep you posted. we'll update you on

hi, everyone. it's 4:00 in new york. what will merrick garland do

now? that is the million-dollar question with consequences as grave as anything doj has faced to date. is mishandling classified documents, lying about mishandling classified documents, and lying about the lies that he told about the mishandling of the government's most sensitive national defense information going to remain a chargeable crime for everyone if donald trump gets away with it in plain sight? sources familiar with the matter tell nbc news that the justice department suspects that donald trump still has classified documents in his possession right now. that stunning bit of news was broken by "the new york times." "the times" reporting goes on to report that a top justice department official told former president trump's lawyers in recent weeks that the department believed that he had not returned all the documents that he took when he left the white house. that is according to two people briefed on the matter. the outreach from the official j. bratt, who leads the department's counterintelligence operations is the most
