11:00 am
situation by approaching cars and people. the park now reminding visitors to stay at least 100 yards away from wolves and bears, and at least 25 yards away from bison. >> we've really got to double down on our understanding of how to coexist with them. >> reporter: to call to educate and to enjoy wildlife from a distance avoiding close calls like this one. even mclaughlin, nbc news. >> keep a big distance. we've got a lot to cover in our second hour of "chris jansing reports," let's get right to it. ♪♪ at this hour, sky high prices, summer flight bookings have jumped 200 % from this time last year with the cost of international flights up by 30%. tips for the busy travel season ahead. and caught on camera, a former fbi supervisory agent who
11:01 am
was with the agency for more than a decade has just been indicted in connection with his actions on january 6th. the accusation that his comments encouraged rioters to kill the police. that's next. plus, exclusive new footage of the moment in davenport, iowa, the building suddenly collapsing. what we now know about the three people officials say are likely still trapped in the rubble. also, off the ledge, with the u.s. no longer on the brink of an historic collapse, president biden and washington are breathing a whole lot easier today. we'll hear from the president in just a few hours as he prepares to sign the debt ceiling bill into law. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments and we begin right here in washington just five hours away from president biden's speech with nbc news white house correspondent monica alba. monica, what's the goal tonight? >> reporter: i think for the president, chris, it's really to convey the severity of this issue, the fact that the u.s. got this close to the brink of a
11:02 am
first ever default but was able to come together with a bipartisan compromise to avoid it is something the president wants to tell the american public about in the actual context of what it took to get to this place and really what could have happened if this wasn't something that was able to coalesce before that critical deadline on monday of june 5th when the u.s. was potentially no longer going to be able to pay its bills. and he's going to really put this for people in the plainest of terms and use today's jobs report, we understand, to frame this in terms of the bigger economic picture, and that's why the president is saying that this unexpectedly good may jobs report is an indication of where the economy is, where it can be heading, and he's going to argue that it's all because of the plan that he has put into place, and also because of some of his signature legislation that he says creates jobs and continues to help this economy recover from covid. so in that statement he was
11:03 am
talking specifically also when we learned that the bill, of course, passed the senate about priority that the president has been able to protect here when it comes to health care, when it comes to medicaid, specifically when you're talking about these signature pieces of legislation that could have been affected with some of the things that republicans had wanted to do in prior iterations of the legislation. tonight, chris, i think you can expect him to deliver this message that of course he's very relieved. there was a collective exhale that this happened. he's going to be able to tout his negotiators and what they were able to do. then it's the venue that silks why the president wants to do this. this will be his first ever oval office address. some of the most severe economic consequences that were at stake here, chris. >> monica alba, thank you. let's go to nbc's shaquille brewster in davenport, iowa, where officials believe three people are still trapped in the rubble of a collapsed apartment building. what's the latest there?
11:04 am
>> reporter: well, chris, i'll tell you over the past 24 hours we've been seeing more activity now than we have since the first 24 hours when this building partially collapsed. i'll let you just kind of take a look at the action that we're seeing now. it resembles what we've been seeing through much of the morning into the afternoon now, you see some of the excavation equipment coming out, about two minutes ago you saw it pulling down debris prosecute top. the pattern that we've been seeing is as that machine moves back, you then see members of the iowa's search and rescue task force go in and pick through that rubble on the ground, that debris one by one. so that is what's taking place. now we know that families met with city official yesterday, and they learned about this process in detail, and all of this is happening as those questions continue to mount about how this happened in the first place and whether or not warning signs were missed. we talked to a mason who said he was denied the project that was being done as this building partially collapsed because he wanted to add stability to the
11:05 am
building and the costs were too high. he said that he saw bricks on the ground as recently as the morning of the collapse. listen to what he said about the warning signs he saw. >> saturday you realized there was some shifting as you were walking by, and you went up to the workers, what did you say to them? >> i literally begged them, prosthesis leave, you're going to die if you continue to work on it. the windows are blowing out as the guys were working on it and that's a very bad sign. if the windows are shattering and blowing out like that. >> reporter: he said he then prompted a 911 call, he prompted people to evacuate who were outside at least and those warnings were not heeded. and this, of course, is coming on top of what we learned earlier this week. the city releasing hundreds of documents or more than 90 documents showing the complaint sorkt associated with this building, the inspections, everything from hot and cold temperatures inside apartments to the risk of bricks on the outside of the building falling.
11:06 am
a lot of questions into how we got to this point in the first place, but that search for those three individuals still trapped inside is well underway, chris. >> shaquille brewster, thank you for that. we've got some breaking news about another building craps causing injuries, this time in new haven, connecticut. our affiliate, wvit reports six people have been injured, two are now in critical condition after a building currently under construction partially collapsed. officials say four of five people trapped have been rescued. at this point no fatalities nbc's ryan reilly has more on that former fbi supervisor indicted for allegedly encouraging january 6th rioters to kill police. what's the case against him? >> it's really interesting. of course there have been these ongoing issues at the fbi about whether or not any of the sympathies some at the fbi have had for trump supporters and for january 6th defendants was impacting the investigation, and here is a really high profile example of that.
11:07 am
it's an extraordinary moment when you have an fbi supervisor or former fbi supervisor who worked in the counterterrorism space who was actually at the capitol that day and actually encouraging the mob to kill officers during what the fbi has described as a domestic terrorism attack. we actually have some video in another case that shows this moment when he was urging that mob to do so. >> usa! >> so he had been out of the fbi for a short period of time now. he's no longer of course with the bureau, pu the fbi is pointing to this as an example of some of these ongoing cases. as these cases continue to work their way through the court process. we had four sentences just yesterday. so these cases are continuing -- >> where does this case go next? >> this is just at the beginning stages. it's now under indictment. he'll have an initial appearance at some point. it will be set for trial potentially obviously there's the possibility of him going with the plea deal, but you
11:08 am
know, pretty early in the process here, but certainly a very interesting situation that you have this former fbi counterterrorism official taking part in a domestic terrorism attack. >> good to have you here, appreciate it. right now summer flight bookings are up 200%. if you want to travel and uptown gotten your ticket yet, expect to pay a little more. nbc's vicky nguyen has some advice on how to navigate this process for us. >> forget about hot girl summer. this summer is about revenge travel, the surge in demand from flights coming from people who held off on trips over the past couple of years. the average cost of a trip to europe this summer sitting around $1,200 right now. that's up 36% from last year. from asia, the cost is about $1,800 for a round trip ticket. that's up 62% from last year. delta says right now 75% of its flights to europe this summer are already booked up. so how do you get around all of this? book early.
11:09 am
remember the 21 day rule, booking as early as possible is crucial because prices go up as you get closer to your departure date. this will give you the most flight options at the best prices. you also want to set up price alerts on websites like sky scanner, hopper and google flights. they'll notify you if the price drops and you can call the airline to rebook. be flexible with your dates. if you can book during the shoulder season, basically anytime from mid-september to thanksgiving, there are lighter crowds and better air fare prices, and always check those one-way tickets. sometimes it can actually be cheaper to book a one-way ticket for each leg of your trip instead of booking round trip. do your research on that. and consider alternative destinations. instead of greece, try albania, instead of cabo, try the todos santos or instead of going to hawaii, try st. lucia, which experts say can be more affordable, and consider cruising. it can be a much cheaper option than flying to a destination and staying in a hotel. a lot of cruise packages include
11:10 am
not just your room but also your food, your entertainment, and activities at destination ports. right now norwegian cruise line and princess cruises have really great deals starting at under $200 for multiday voyages. finally, download the my tsa app. that will help you figure out what the wait times are at the apt to help you plan your timing. thank you so much for that. my guess is that the airports right now are pretty busy here in d.c. because the great congressional exodus is underway now that the debt deal is done. but what's next? including from the president's big speech tonight. democratic senator chris van hollen of the budget committee who has referred to talks as an insane situation, joins me in 60 seconds. tc each morning blocks heartburn all day and all night. prilosec otc reduces excess acid for 24 hours, blocking heartburn before it starts. one pill a day. 24 hours. zero heartburn.
11:11 am
- i'm lynette. this is my husband, arthur. blocking heartburn before it starts. - yeah, you wouldn't believe we're in our 70's, huh? (lynette and arthur laugh) - i have recommended consumer cellular to so many people. - she was the one to convince me to come over to her side. (arthur laughs) - that's right! - [announcer] come over to consumer cellular and start saving. get unlimited talk and text with a flexible data plan, starting at just $20 a month. - the coverage has been excellent. - you know, it gives us exactly what we want. - you should go with consumer cellular! - [announcer] switch today. call or go online. oh, hello! hi! do you know that every load of laundry could be worth as much as $300? really? and your clothes just keep getting more damaged the more times you wash them. downy protects fibers, doing more than detergent alone. see? this one looks brand new. saves me money? i'm starting to like downy. downy saves loads. it was a high stakes 24 hours in the senate that got us to this moment, no default. the debt ceiling bill heads to
11:12 am
biden to sign next as congress heads home. questions remain about some of the items left on the cutting room floor, so to speak. so i want to bring in maryland senator chris van hollen, you had a late night, so thank you very much for being with us. appreciate it. look, you called this an insane situation. you called kevin mccarthy a very weak speaker, but in the end, it got done. what's your takeaway from this? >> well, chris, it's great to be with you. it's an insane situation because we have this provision on the books that allows in this case house republicans to threaten default on our debts, which means blowing up our economy in order to try to impose their extreme agenda. so just be clear, i support diffusing what is still a ticking time bomb so long as we have this provision on the books that allows this kind of hostage taking to happen, that said --
11:13 am
>> listen, can i stop you there. i've lost track of how many op-eds saying exactly what you're saying, so explain to the american people why you think this is not a good idea the way it's being done right now? >> the reason it's a bad idea is because congress has already passed a lot of laws. for example, social security, medicare, that says that we're going to promise to make certain commitments to certain people. that also includes our bondholders, people who buy u.s. treasury bonds, so it'd be as if you and i woke up one morning and said, you know, we're not going to pay our mortgage anymore. we're not going to make car payments. we would face consequences, and the united states government would essentially create an economic meltdown here at home and around the world if the united states uncle sam got up one mortgage and said we're not going to pay these debts. my view is that we should get rid of this requirement that congress has to vote simply to
11:14 am
make good on obligations we've already undertaken. this is not about authorizing new spending. this is about paying bills already due and owing, and i think we should just diffuse this, as i say, ticking time bomb on our economy. we're glad it didn't go off this timement that doesn't mean it won't go off sometime in the future. >> i referenced some things that were left on the cutting room floor. there are a number of provisions that the democrats in general would have preferred to have in, and one of my colleagues, lindsey reiser, spoke to one of the 43 million people who along with his wife will soon have to restart their student loan payments. take a listen to what he told us. >> we still have to pay a house off and then with all this, and you know, with inflation and rising prices of everybody trying to get one, it's becoming very unaffordable to do that, and adding another bill on top of that it just seems it's going to be impossible. >> this is part of the deal you just voted for, most democrats just voted for, and even if it was pushed by republicans, what do you say to the 43 million
11:15 am
people? >> well, a couple things. first of all, i strongly support president biden's student debt forgiveness package, which is still in progress. republican attorney generals around the country are suing him right now, but republicans that originally wanted to essentially eliminate that initiative, that biden initiative, and that's not in here. what is in here is the resumption of student loan payments in september, which is something that the biden administration intended to do anyway because the stay on these payments had been linked to the covid emergency, the covid emergency is now over, and that is why the biden administration had already planned to resume those payments. but we do need to address the fundamental question of student debt of president biden's
11:16 am
proposal helps to do that. we're also working to try to increase access to pell grants and more affordable student loans. >> look, there are real political implications to this of course for people who feel they're being affected by it, there are plenty of democrats who think that social justice, environmental justice, no taxes on the wealthy should not have been left on, as i said, the cutting room floor. having said that, what would you like to hear from the president tonight? because there are implications, how people view this, who they give credit for, who they blame for it. which should the president say tonight to the american people? >> well, i think the president will point out that we should never have been in this manufactured crisis to begin with. as i said, no one should threaten to destroy the economy to get their way, but i think you will rightly point out that he and his team negotiated, i think, the best outcome under the circumstances, and one of the benefits for the president and for the country is that
11:17 am
under this deal, we now have some predictable and stability over the next two years. so we did set the caps on what will be spent over the next two years and the president was able to recycle some funds that were not going to be used to make sure that those cuts were not too deep, but chris, having that stability is really important when it comes to the budget and the appropriations committee. i serve on that committee. without that certainty, we would have been in constant threats of government shutdown or, obviously, if we had not extended the debt ceiling for two years, threats of another default. so the good news this week dramatically now reduced the risks of a constant showdown over government shutdowns this coming september. the following september. so that is important to give breathing room to the economy.
11:18 am
we had a great jobs report today. we don't want to do anything that gets in the way of economic growth and more even economic growth that we're seeing. >> we're out of time, but i do want to ask you quickly, look, this got done under threat, right? under catastrophic default threat. is there anything you can point to that you think can get done in a bipartisan manner between now and frankly november of 2024? >> well, we're continuing to look at things. we've got a major arm bill. the defense authorization bill is something on our plate. we're going to need to help the folks in ukraine once again to make sure that they can push back against russian aggression. i will say, chris, you know, the last two years we passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill, we passed the chips and science act. those were two major bipartisan initiatives, so bottom line, i hope we can find additional common ground in the coming months. >> i like to end on an optimistic note, senator chris van hollen, good to see you
11:19 am
again, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. now to wall street where the dow is soaring more than 600 points, almost 700 now driven by that agreement on the debt limit bill and a stronger than expected jobs report. cnbc's morgan brennan is following all of this for us. walk us through what this all means. >> hi, chris, we'll continue with the optimism, shall we? stocks are really rallying this friday afternoon. the dow is up 2% right now, and you just mentioned the reasons. you had this debt ceiling deal which helps us to avert a default and add some fiscal stability into the market. the market likes having certainty here. and of course more importantly, you have this blowout jobs report. the u.s. economy added 339,000 jobs last month. that was almost 150,000 more than wall street had been expecting. plus you saw these dramatic upward revisions in job growth for the months prior. the jobs report is watched closely by investors because it's watched very closely by the
11:20 am
federal reserve. we know the fed has been trying to bring down high inflation. one of the ways it's looking to do that is to loosen the labor market. even though we saw that strong job growth, you had the unemployment rate actually ticking up to 3.7% from an historically low 3.4%. you're seeing more people enter the work force and that's actually helping to moderate the growth that we have seen in wages. so the bottom line here, the reason investors like all of this, it shows that the u.s. is at least based on this data today, is not in a recession or anywhere near a recession. but when you see moderating wage growth and when you see an unemployment rate that ticks up a little bit like this, it gives the fed perhaps, we'll see, the opportunity to maybe not raise interest rates when officials meet later this month. if that were to be the case and you saw a pause, it would be the first time after ten straight meetings where we saw interest rate increases and that's the reason you're seeing stocks rally, not only today but also
11:21 am
for the week, chris. >> morgan brennan, happy friday, thank you so much for that positive report. but there's a lot that's going on that's not so positive, a texas cheerleader shot for opening the wrong car door, a south carolina teen killed for suspected shoplifting, the troubling pattern of gun owners apparently now more emboldened to take matters into their own hands. what needs to change. we'll talk about that next. the. and now she's got myplan. the game changing new plan that lets her pick exactly what she wants, and save on every perk. sadie's getting her plan ready for a big trip. travel pass, on. nice iphone 14 pro! cute couple. trips don't last forever. neither does summer love. so, sadie's moving on. apple music? check. introducing myplan. the first and only unlimited plan to give you exactly what you want, so you only pay for what you need. and get iphone 14 pro on us when you switch. it's your verizon. the subway series is elevating your favorite subs. why mess with the sweet onion teriyaki, chuck?
11:22 am
11:24 am
of doing things. america's plastic makers are investing billions of dollars in new technologies and creating plastic products that are more recyclable. durable. and dependable. our goal is a cleaner, healthier planet for generations to come. for a better tomorrow, we're focused on making plastics better today. (jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus onrrow, real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time
11:25 am
and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try? now to the ever growing and deeply disturbing list of gun violence brought on by nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time, add this. in florida, a 60-year-old man is now charged after pointing a gun at a woman's head and threatening to kill her after her friend used the man's driveway to back up his car. just today we heard for the first time from that 18-year-old texas cheerleader who was shot after her friend accidentally
11:26 am
opened the door of the wrong parked car. >> my spleen was shattered. my stomach, i have two holes in it, and my diaphragm had two holes in it, and then they had to remove a lobe from my pancreas. i had 32 staples. >> we brought you payton's story back in april, and in the weeks since we've only seen more of these types of stories. in south carolina where a convenience store owner fatally shot a 14-year-old boy in the back after falsely accusing him of stealing, we're just learning from authorities that that owner had at least twice before opened fire while confronting people he suspected of shoplifting. in all these cases and more, guns escalating what should be low stakes situations or more accurately, no situation at all. and it's caused one georgia gun shop owner to shut his doors saying that gun violence in this country eats at him because if it can happen, it's only a matter of time until it does
11:27 am
happen. >> the fact that it keeps being kids after kids after kids, that's the thing for me. i just can't sell items like this to people. i'm not saying you shouldn't be armed. i'm just saying that i can't sell something that could be used. >> joining me now a former member of president obama's 21st century policing task force and msnbc contributor, brittany packnett cunningham and former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst, paul butler is back. to be short and to the point, why does this keep happening? >> unfortunately we live in a country that was built by violence. america used the gun, used the hand, used the whip against indigenous people, against enslaved africans to built this country that we now inhabit, and the trouble with a culture of violence is that it spreads like a smog, and it gets into
11:28 am
everything. it gets into marriage and family life where we see domestic violence and gun violence. it gets into public safety where we see police violence. it gets into schools and public spaces where we see mass shootings. it seeps its way into communities where we see neighborhood violence and, unfortunately, if the gun is the hammer, then everything big and small looks like a nail. culture continues to encourage this kind of violence and protection at all costs, and states continue to make it easier and easier to get these guns, and when that is happening, this is the outcome you can expect, and unfortunately you can equally expect congress to do little about it. the nra has spent $100 million or more since sandy hook to elect republicans who are going to protect guns, who are going to protect the proliferation of guns, and when we see one party getting elected specifically by people who exploit this culture of violence, then we're going to continue to see these incredibly
11:29 am
tragic outcomes. >> paul, i didn't even mention the 6-year-old girl who was shot after the basketball she was playing with rolled into the neighbor's yard. i know law takes into consideration whether a shooter's life was in danger. we know about stand your ground laws, but what about cases where absolutely positively the shooter's life was not in danger. does that change the equation, and do you think there could be a way to deter others by the way these cases get prosecuted and sentenced? >> that's a great question, and yes, i think deterrence has to work pause the supreme court and the gop politics make any kind of legislative response virtually impossible, so if there's a message sent from prosecutors that if people use guns in cases that don't involve a direct threat to someone's life, then they're going to get locked up. maybe that could make a
11:30 am
difference, but we know that during the pandemic, gun ownership increased dramatically. we also know that president trump, former president trump's term greatly increased political animosity and division, and so that's a combustible mix. all these people walking around scared and anxious with these very expansive laws about guns. the supreme court considered a case last year in which people, new york had a law that required people to -- who wanted to carry concealed weapons to have a good reason, to show just cause. the supreme court said that law was unconstitutional. president biden's response was that court ruling defied common sense and the constitution, he's right. >> all right, brittany, what do you make then of at least some individuals who see this as a serious problem, that gun shop owner, for example, closing his doors because he doesn't want to be part of this. >> honestly, it's going to take that kind of courage. it's going to take enough people
11:31 am
taking individual action as a group as a community to actually push congress and government officials to do something. look, if the nra is paying your election bills, then you've got no incentive to push for things like an assault weapons ban, to push for things like universal background checks, to make it more difficult for people to get these weapons of destruction in their hands. so courageous people like that now former gun shop owner, people who have withdrawn themselves from their nra membership, those are the kinds of actions we're going to have to see be taken alongside the organizers like march for our lives, moms demand and so many more who are interrupting violence every day in their communities and bringing the policy conversation to d.c. and to state capitals everywhere, and we've seen success with this, right? we've seen the nra membership drop to an all time low since 2012, in most recent years.
11:32 am
we've seen a drop in nra pac donations by 45% between midterms in 2018 and 2022ment so we know when people of good conscience do the right thing, that it can make an impact where it matters most, and that's in the deep, deep financial kau coffers in places like the na, and prayerfully congress will pass the kind of laws we need in order to stay protected. >> a lot of the laws are on the state level, and stand your ground laws exist in at least ten states, florida, georgia, south carolina. what are the parameters generally of that, and do they apply in cases like convenience store owner, gas station owner who says, well, i felt i was under threat. >> unfortunately in many of the states that have those stand your ground laws, that provides a defense or at least some protection to people who use guns in situations like this. most states the law requires that if you're faced with deadly force and you have the option of
11:33 am
escaping, remaining completely safe, that's what you have to do. stand your ground laws are based on this macho ethic that real men don't run. they stay and fight, but they're not about affirming life. they actually end up causing more violence and more homicides. >> unfortunately, i think we're going to have to continue this conversation. paul butler, brittany, you know, there's going to be another situation, and we're going to be back here and be talking about it again, but i really appreciate you talking to us today. an unexpected twist, illegal border crossings now plummeting following the end of title 42. our homeland security correspondent julia ainsley says there's a number of reasons why. she joins me to talk about that and more from the border next. u d more from the border next. tv: try tide power pods with 85% more tide in every pod. who needs that much more tide? (crashing sound) he does. mom: we're having triplets. no, what does that mean? it means you're gonna need more tide. -see? -baby: ah. more likes? more tide.

moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash. but now, i can disrupt eczema with rinvoq. rinvoq is not a steroid, topical, or injection. it's one pill, once a day. many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin while some saw up to 100% clear skin. and, they felt dramatic and fast itch relief some as early as 2 days. that's rinvoq relief. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal, cancers including lymphoma and skin cancer, death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older with at least one heart disease risk factor have higher risks. don't take if allergic to rinvoq,

11:38 am
we're just getting in some details on tragic breaking news from india, at least 50 people are dead, more than 350 injured after two passenger trains derailed in eastern india. rescuers are trying to free another 200 people they believe are trapped in the rubble. the cause of the derailment is under investigation, but according to a railroad ministry spokesperson, pieces of one of the derailed trains fell onto a nearby track and were then hit by the passenger train coming in the opposite direction. we'll bring you any updates as we get them. after the death of an 8-year-old girl in u.s. custody, customs and border protection now acknowledges it did not get
11:39 am
anna dethreas the medical help she needed. in a new statement, the cpp says the contracted medical personnel did not consult with on-call physicians, including an on-call pediatrician about the girl's condition, symptoms or treatment. with me now is nbc's julia ainsley. what more do we know about this cbp response? because it sounds like they're saying the contractors did it. >> yeah, it sounds like they're pretty much placing the blame on this nurse practitioner who repeatedly did not heed the warnings of her parents. in fact, this little girl's parents came four times that day including with papers in their hand that showed she had a congenital heart condition, sickle cell anemia. when her fever got to almost 105 degrees, what they did is they gave her tamiflu, a cold shower and ice packs, not enough to really administer what should have been life saving emergency care. that wasn't until the mother showed up with the girl having a
11:40 am
seizure in her arms. it's as heartbreaking as it is frustrating when you realize that there could have been steps taken to save her life earlier. >> did they have the ability or agreements with hospitals to get someone who's that sick the kind of care they would need? >> yes, in fact, they did have a pediatrician on site who was not contacted, and yes, all of these places whether it be an i.c.e. care, hhs or in this case border patrol, they all know the emergency medical people in the area, and a lot of people on staff are trained for that. when they finally called the medics, they came pretty quickly. unfortunately it was too late, and in this case they're not saying we're going to review all our policies. they said, we have the policies. they just weren't followed. >> border crossings are dropping and it comes as "axios" is reporting that more and more governors are sending troops to the border, take us through your reporting but also whether these kinds of troops are something that's wanted among border communities. >> yeah, that's interesting.
11:41 am
so first we know that the numbers are low and they continue to be low. just yesterday they were reporting crossings of a little over 3,000. that's compared to three weeks ago before title 42, we were looking at 10 or 11,000 illegal border crossings per day. part of that is fewer people are crossing right now. there's a rainy season that's really affecteding the travel through the jungles as people cross into panama. we know that more people are trying an app, there's a cbp 1 app where they can apply for appointments. it's a more legal, orderly process, although sometimes not as many people can access it as they wish. and also people are waiting to see what these new policies look like. after title 42 ended, we actually raised the bar here. the biden administration made it harder for asylum seekers to qualify unless they applied for asylum in another country they passed through. people in mexico and colombia say a lot of these migrants are in a wait and see time. there are 20 million people displaced in this hemisphere. those people don't go away overnight, and they're still

very desperate. >> always great to talk to you and lovely to have you on set. >> good to see you, chris. new revelations from the cdc today, just the latest example of the impact of soaring prescription prices. the study finds that women now are more likely than men to skip or delay their medications due to cost. in fact, about one in ten adults reports skipping, delaying, or using less medication than prescribed over the past year to save money, and women led when it came to this non-adherence. 9.1% of them versus 7% of men. the findings came from a cdc survey where tens of thousands of people in the u.s. were asked about their health-related experiences. russian missiles demolished parts of kyiv capping off the deadliest week we've seen at the ukrainian capital in months. that's all coming up next. that's all coming up next. i'm javi, i'm 31, and i'm a fitness instructor. i saw myself in a photograph. and we were all smiling, and i looked closer,
11:43 am
and i was like that- that's what everybody sees? i'm back, and i got botox® cosmetic. the lines were so prominent it's all i saw in the photograph, so now when i take photos, and i see myself in photos, its- it's me, i just have fewer lines. botox® cosmetic is fda-approved to temporarily make frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness may be a sign of a life-threatening condition. do not receive botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site pain, headache, eyebrow, eyelid drooping, and eyelid swelling. tell your doctor about your medical history. muscle or nerve conditions, and medications including botulinum toxins. as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. see for yourself at botoxcosmetic.com

these are the greats: people living with, thriving with — not held back by — disease. they motivate us to fight diabetes and obesity, rare diseases and cardiovascular conditions, for generations to come. so, everyone can meet their moment. because your disease doesn't define you. so, what will? novo nordisk. driving change. dozens of russian missile drones rained down on ukraine's capital overnight, capping off kyiv's deadliest week in months. thousands of people took cover in subway stations sheltering anywhere they could find. it's the 20th attack on kyiv since the beginning of may, a surge ukraine says is intended to disrupt its long-awaited counteroffensive. finland, nato's newest member where secretary of state antony blinken is rejecting calls for an immediate cease fire in ukraine saying it would
11:48 am
only legitimize russia's land grab. >> investing in ukraine's strength is not at the expense of diplomacy, it paves the way for diplomacy. a cease fire that freezes current lines in place and enables putin to consolidate control over the territory he seized and rest, rearm, and attack that is not a just and lasting peace. >> that warning comes as the biden administration retaliates against russia's suspension of the new nuclear treaty, the last remaining arms control treaty between the two countries. nbc news chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell is with me now. what is the u.s. doing in response? >> they're taking small steps. the speech today, jake sullivan gave a speech, the arms control association here in washington, and the national security adviser of course, and they're not going to renew the visas for the russian inspectors, the russians don't want to inspect
11:49 am
anyway because they don't want to participate, and really, the treaty has not been observed in terms of inspections since the covid pandemic in 2019, and then of course with the invasion of ukraine, russia retaliates against the u.s. by stopping all inspections from then on. so we don't have the inspections. we're also not giving them some of the information about verification of our movements of missiles, missiles within the u.s., but interestingly, you know, when you think about it, this is the last remaining arms control treaty. we've had arms control since i first began covering it in the '80s with ronald reagan and, you know, eventually the agreements with gorbachev and those were renewed with succeeding presidents, so these are really important limits, and the dream of not having to rely on these weapons with jake sullivan and the national security adviser said today is we shouldn't be relying on these kinds of
11:50 am
weapons at all. we should rely on the new technology and hypersonics which are conventionally armed, not nuclear armed. then there's china, which is not participating in any way in negotiations and they want to have an arsenal of 15 or 100 nuclear weapons, which is more than anyone needs. the arms race is still going on. >> yeah, andrea mitchell, great to have you. thank you so much, appreciate you coming on the program. extreme heat came in like a wrecking ball in one major u.s. city, and it's forced schools to shut their doors early. we've got those details next. but first, we have a new 2023 scripps national spelling bee spelling bee champion. he's 14-year-old dev shah of florida. an eighth grader who has taken two shots at the crown before and studied for 10 hours a day. now he's $50,000 richer. the winning word is a noun used to describe an organism that prefers or thrives in sandy soils or areas. of course it isn't spelled anything like the nonchampions

hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo. so the first time i ever seen a golo advertisement, i said, "yeah, whatever. there's no way this works like this." and threw it to the side. a couple weeks later, i seen it again after getting not so pleasant news from my physician. i was 424 pounds, and my doctor was recommending weight loss surgery. to avoid the surgery, i had to make a change. so i decided to go with golo and it's changed my life. when i first started golo and taking release, my cravings, they went away. and i was so surprised.
11:55 am
you feel that your body is working and functioning the way it should be and you feel energized. golo has improved my life in so many ways. i'm able to stand and actually make dinner. i'm able to clean my house. i'm able to do just simple tasks that a lot of people call simple, but when you're extremely heavy they're not so simple. golo is real and when you take release and follow the plan, it works.

the atlantic hurricane season is not wasting any time getting going. a new tropical depression has just formed off the coast of florida in the gulf of mexico. just yesterday marked the official start of the hurricane season. that storm set to bring heavy rain and storms to the sunshine state with areas from tampa to miami bracing for 5 to 6 inches of rain through tomorrow. meanwhile in western texas, torrential rainfall has caused severe flooding leading to major mudslides, rock falls and road closures. all of this has left some drivers stranded in their flooded cars on the highways, like this man who was rescued by climbing through his car window and wading through waist-high water. the flash flooding was caused by the 3 to 5 inches of rain that fell in west texas over the course of just a matter of hours. what a mess. meantime, thousands of philadelphia students are
11:57 am
heading home early today as temperatures there soar to dangerous highs. the city's main school district dismissing kids two hours earlier than normal at 90 schools in need of air conditioning or electrical system upgrades. i feel bad you have to stand out in that. how bad is it? >> reporter: yeah, chris, i'm under the shade fortunately, but it is 94 degrees at last check. as you mentioned, because it is so hot the school district of philadelphia making that call to allow students to go home early. an early start to the weekend, if you will. of course this is not ideal for students. many of them still catching up from the pandemic years. that's what one official told me, this is not what they want to do but it's out of an abundance of caution. you touched on another point, the electrical grid. it's not so simple to go out and get a bunch of ac units. they need to make sure the infrastructure is in place so the ac units can stay powered on. this is a discussion that's been
11:58 am
ongoing the last several years in the city because they are aware a number of their buildings are just too old to sustain any ac unit or fan. so school officials telling me the plan is in place and they are hoping all of these schools will stay open even on the hottest days by 2027. they're hoping to expedite that process. nevertheless, with it being this hot, a lot of students got out of here as quickly as they could and their parents. a number of educators telling me the classroom felt like an oven, especially when you have days in succession. they know that they can't take that chance. today students got to go home a little earlier. they have to keep the safety of their educators and the students at heart. chris. >> were there any problems or concerns that you heard about, george? i'm just thinking there are parents who work. if you release somebody who's 17 years old, it's one thing but if you release kids and there's no day care, then what happens? >> reporter: yeah, you know, i actually had a conversation with a mom who was here to pick up
11:59 am
her child. she said this is really inconvenient for me. there are some after school programs here. there was a number of students here after the final bell rang. the educators stay with them until every student is home. so these are all part of the contingencies and plans school officials are working through because they know this is not something they want to do very often. it does feel that it's getting hotter sooner and longer. so all part of the plan. right now for them the priority is making sure that all of these schools have adequate air conditioning and that the power grid can sustain it. chris. >> if it makes you feel any better, george, the real-feel temperature here in d.c. is 100 right now. but anyway, get in the car where there's air conditioning. thank you, george solis. appreciate it. >> reporter: lots of water. >> lots of water. well, it's a rare, almost realtime look at the red planet. today the european space agency offered an hour-long live stream of mars, feeding back images of the planet every 50 seconds to
