tv   Chris Jansing Reports  MSNBC  July 6, 2023 11:00am-12:01pm PDT

11:00 am
conditions, one fix at a time, brian cheung, nbc news, minneapolis. we have a lot to cover in our second hour of "chris jansing reports," let's get right to it. ♪♪ at this hour, janet yellen's diplomatic test, the treasury secretary arriving in china for a high-stakes trip. can she ease tensions? plus, the search for a motive, new details about the mental state of the man accused of gunning down five people in philadelphia, including the posts that he made online. inside the basement of mar-a-lago, what fbi agents saw on a surveillance camera that led to a search of the former president's property, and guns, gold bars, even wigs, stunning images of what russian authorities found while regulated the home of the wagner group's boss. reporters are following the latest developments. we begin though, with a mystery
11:01 am
around yevgeny prigozhin and his army of mercenaries who were until now believed to be exiled to belarus after the armed revolt in russia. keir simmons is in belarus. according to belarus's president, this is not the case after all. bring us up to speed here. >> reporter: well, that's right. there are two things happening right now. kind of twin track, if you like. one what we heard today. nbc news was one of the few international news organizations invited to the presidential palace in belarus. we have heard from the president of belarus. the other is those images that you showed of gold bars, stacks of dollars, of wigs, of fake passports, during a police raid on yevgeny prigozhin's home in st. petersburg. nbc news not able to verify those images, but they are all over russian media, suggesting
11:02 am
an effort to discredit yevgeny prigozhin, just as here in belarus, as i mentioned, the president of belarus, aleksandr lukashenko asked about where he is, where this man, who he had done a deal to come to belarus, to stop that insurrection, that mutiny,less than two weeks ago, where he was, we thought he was here in belarus. turns out that he says that he's not. take a listen. >> where is he this morning? he could have gone to moscow or maybe somewhere else, but he's not on the territory of belarus. >> reporter: so aleksandr lukashenko even suggesting that he may never come here with his wagner fighters. also, though, saying that he is a free man in russia, but russian state television as well as those pictures i mentioned also on air overnight calling yevgeny prigozhin a traitor, raking over his criminal past,
11:03 am
suggesting that his children have been partying. all suggesting that having tried to shore up the power of president putin, there is now an effort in russia to blacken the name of yevgeny prigozhin who led this mutiny that both lukashenko in belarus, and president putin himself said could have caused a russian civil war. >> certainly the story is not over, and we'll continue to follow it. keir simmons for us, thank you. we're also now getting a look at new portions of the affidavit used in the search of former president trump's mar-a-lago property. nbc's garrett haake is covering this for us. and joining us now, garrett, what details did we learn that were actually previously redacted? >> it's an interesting document. most of it still redacted as we wait for this trial to get underway. but probably the most interesting part of this is we see the video evidence and how it led prosecutors to be very suspicious of what was going on
11:04 am
are walt nauta and to believe trump's own attorneys were not necessarily telling the truth about search they had conducted about the storage room in mar-a-lago. this affidavit describes security camera footage obtained via a subpoena, that shows nauta removing 54 boxes over the case of a day or so and returning only 30 or so of them. when trump's lawyers then searched that room, and presented to the doa that they had gone through everything, searched through the documents, here's the documents we found, investigators knew those documents or those boxes hadn't been returned to the room and that was enough to make them very suspicious that there was material that was really germane to their investigation that just wasn't part of that that was handed over. by the end of the summer, you have the search of mar-a-lago which burst the whole case into the public view. very much a show your work document here as the fbi agent who signs for it is essentially
11:05 am
attesting to the judge, we have made good faith efforts to get these back. this is the level of secrecy that exists around these documents, despite the good faith efforts and a signed attestation that they handed everything over that we're still going to need to do the search. it was good enough far judge, and of course that judge had access to all of it not just the now underacketed portions which is part of a lawsuit that we have pressed to get as much access as possible for the underlying information. >> garrett haake for us, thank you, appreciate it. let's go to philadelphia where we're learning more about the man who police say shot and killed five people on the fourth of july. nbc's tom winter is on this for us. what are we learning? >> reporter: what we're learning is a little bit more about the social media background as well as the individual's mental health, and those are two of several components that authorities will use to try and determine a motive. we know that there was a written will that was left behind, quite specific we're told and a senior
11:06 am
law enforcement official who has been briefed on the investigation tells nbc news that there were a number of disturbing social media posts on a facebook page that has since been taken down or suspended. we can't currently look at it, but law enforcement has a record of it, pro gun support groups were shared by this individual identified by police as kim brady kariker. if you were to look at the totality, some believes counter other posts. he has divergent beliefs that he has. we see that with mass shooters and potential terrorists, sometimes putting out seemingly contradictory things they believe in. that's number one. number two, authorities were open about it in a press conference, suggesting a mental health competency could come up in the course of this case, on top of that.
11:07 am
according to the district attorney's office that apparently the mental health of this individual had declined and quite precipitously in the last several days and weeks. that's where investigators are right now, trying to figure out what's happening. of course this individual, once they have obtained legal counsel, and apparently they have, not a situation where police can just continue to speak with them, but did get some statements out of carriker, apparently prior to obtaining counsel. and they'll continue to look into his past to try to determine why this incident happened in the first place. >> tom winter, thank you. treasury secretary janet yellen kicking off a closely watched four-day trip to china. seema mody following that trip for us. what is on the agenda for yellen here, seema? >> well, yasmin, no policy breakthroughs are expected. that's according to a senior treasury official, but secretary janet yellen's trip is widely
11:08 am
seen as an opportunity to restore communications between our two countries amid heightened tensions. yellen is expected to meet with a range of chinese officials today and tomorrow, including the premiere, who is known for being involved in trade negotiations between the united states and china. so far, no meeting with president xi jinping is on the agenda at this point. earlier today, yellen tweeting that her china trip presents an opportunity to communicate and avoid miscommunication. as you find out, her trip follows secretary of state antony blinken's trip last month to the country. in addition to restoring relations, addressing china's recent bans on two rare earth minerals used by the u.s. semiconductor industry, seen as critical. she'll try to get a better read on the state of china's economy that has been under a lot of pressure in recent months and what economic advisers there are trying to do about it.
11:09 am
ahead of this trip, we spoke to the counsel on foreign relations. they say expectations are low. they're pointing to the ongoing security dialogue between our two nations which has badly lacked progress. >> seema mody for us. thank you, appreciate it. still ahead, everybody, russian missiles destroy dozens of homes on the ukrainian poland border. we are live. plus, the secret talks held about bringing the war to an end. nbc's exclusive reporting in just 60 seconds. we'll be right back. just 60 seconds. we'll be right back. (vo) this is sadie, she's on verizon. and she's got the new myplan, so she gets exactly what she wants
11:10 am
and only pays for what she needs. she picks her perks and saves on every one. make your move to myplan. act now and get it for $25 when you bring your phones. it's your verizon. right now get a free footlong at subway. like the subway series menu. buy one footlong in the app, get one free. for freeee. that's what i'm talking about. order in the subway app today. in ukraine today, at least five people were killed when a russian rocket struck an apartment building in lviv, a city far from the front lines, but just miles from nato territory. dozens more injured in what lviv's mayor says was the largest attack on the civilian infrastructure since the russian invasion. also today, nbc news exclusive reporting on secret meetings between several former senior u.s. officials and russians believed to have closed ties to the kremlin.
11:11 am
among them, russia's top diplomat, nbc's josh lederman broke that story, and he joins us now, along with kelly cobiella, reporting from kyiv, ukraine. formal diplomatic talks between the united states and russia are few and far between to say the least, but apparently there have been some secret unofficial discussions. what more do we know about this? >> yeah, that's right, yasmin. there's no substitute for actual peace talks which are going to be needed to end this war. you're right, that's not really on the table right now. and so in the meantime, these former u.s. officials we have learned have really stepped up on their own to try to keep the channels of communication open with russia. to lay the ground work for ultimately peace negotiations to actually end the war and to feel out where there could be room for some compromise. so one occasion of this type of back channelling involved a secret meeting that foreign minister sergey lavrov of russia
11:12 am
held in april in new york while he was in the u.s. on a short visit, and there were several former white house and state department staffers who attended that meeting with him to feel out potential areas for compromise on issues like what's going to happen to the parts of ukraine that have long been held by russia, and even ukraine's staunchest allies aren't really predicting that ukraine is going to be able to liberate, like crimea, areas in the donbas, and other american former officials have been keeping in close touch with russian think tank leaders, academics, others who are considered to have the kremlin's ear all in a bid to at least keep communication flowing, even if the governments are not making much progress directly on resolving this war, yasmin. >> kelly, while we're getting this reporting, of course, those attacks i just talked about overnight, talk to us more about what you're learning there? >> yeah, so the ukrainian military said that russia fired
11:13 am
ten ballistic missiles from their positions in the black sea in the early hours of the morning, those missiles, the ukrainian military said headed straight north and took a sharp turn to the west. they said that their intercepted seven, but three did land. one of them while you see the results of it right there, hit an apartment building, a four-story apartment building in the center of lviv. this is a place that is 300 miles from the front line. it's a place where a lot of ukrainians have fled to to try to escape situations like this during the war. the lviv mayor said that at least five have been killed. crews were searching that apartment building throughout the day because you can see just from the destruction that the roof was basically blown off that apartment building, the top two floors pretty much destroyed. president zelenskyy has talked about this, he offered condolences to the victims. he said that there will be a
11:14 am
response and a strong response. the ukrainians calling this yet another war crime, a strike on a civilian area. the russians say that they don't hit civilian targets. they said that they fired missiles at military targets in the early hours, but didn't name a city, didn't say where, and didn't provide any proof. yasmin. >> kelly cobiella for us, thank you. josh lederman, thank you as well. we also have new video released by the military showing the moment russian fighter jets harassed drones. courtney kube is following this story for us. what are we hearing from the pentagon? >> they're calling these actions reckless. now, it's not unprecedented for there to be some sort of interactions occurring between the russian military and the u.s. military in the skies over
11:15 am
syria, and in fact, there have been a number of cases where there have been harassment by the russian military according to the u.s. military over the skies of syria. what makes this incident yesterday stand out quite a bit, yasmin, is what we're seeing on camera here. in this case, the russian military jets dropped what are called parachute flairs that went right in front of, coming close to a couple of u.s. military mq 9 drones. the military i spoke with said none of them collided but it did force the u.s. military drones to take evasive measures so that they could avoid striking them, and in one case, there was also one of the russian jets that flared off its after burner in sort of the nose of one of those u.s. military drones, which is also very potentially dangerous. now, we heard from the commander of the u.s. air forces there in the central command region, and he was critical and condemned the russian actions, saying they represented another example of
11:16 am
unprofessional and unsafe actions by russian air forces operating in syria, which threaten the safety of both u.s. and russian forces. now, i should also point out, yas, this is one area where the u.s. military and the russian military have had consistently decent communications between the two of them. the deconfliction line over syria. it's meant to avoid these exact types of circumstances. >> yeah, hence why this is a surprising story. courtney kube for us, thank you. third time's a charm, walt nauta finally arraigned in federal court, how could all of the delays affect donald trump's trial. and prosecutors urge a judge to hold a january 6th defendant, why they say he poses a direct and serious threat coming up next. e poses a direct and serious threat coming up next my bottle of choice? neutrogena® ultra sheer a lightweight blend that protects 6 layers deep with a smooth dry-touch finish. this round's on me.

11:20 am
11:21 am
welcome back. after a series of delays, donald trump's aide walt nauta had his arraignment in the mar-a-lago classified documents case, he pled not guilty to the charges that he helped the president hide highly secret documents. i want to bring in jordan reuben, a former prosecutor for the new york county d.a.'s office in manhattan. welcome to you. thanks for joining us on this. you have said timing is everything, right, how is the delay in nauta's arraignment affect the case when it comes to the former president?
11:22 am
>> so, it very well may have a delaying effect. i think the way we're going to learn that and possibly very quickly is how judge aileen cannon handles the case when it gets to her, now that nauta has been arraigned. what happened today is a very, in another case, might be an unimportant event, in terms of what's going to happen. obviously you know someone's almost always going to plead not guilty at an arraignment. in this case, it's important, because it wasn't happening, this simple, procedural thing. now the case can move forward. once judge cannon gets the case, i think, for example, if the new attorney on the case says i need more time to get up to speed, for example, how judge cannon entertains something like that is going to dictate how she handles this delay that's already been baked into the case, before it's even gotten started really. >> let me read you something, jordan, from "politico," saying this, quote, not much unites the
11:23 am
country when it comes to donald trump, but in one area there's something much closer to agreement, and they're talking about this poll commissioned by "politico" magazine, and conducted by ipsos. 57% believe the trial should occur before the republican primary. 62% before the '24 presidential election. what do you make of this? >> so it is very interesting that there's an agreement there. i guess to throw out another consideration, i would say that it really shouldn't be relevant what people want in terms of when this trial happens. it's obviously very important. you have someone running for president to have the effect of if they win the case, it could make the case go away. that has to be said, it's this unstated thing underlying the case. this case was brought when it was brought. it's not the court's problem when it was brought. it's not the defendant's problem when it was brought. really it's the prosecution's burden that it's going to have
11:24 am
to deal with in terms of all of these timing issues coming up. it's certainly possible that it happens before then. i would be very surprised if the trial goes forward this year as jack smith has requested. i think it's more of a question of how far into the coming year this trial happens, if in fact, it does happen. >> do you see it happening before the election? >> it certainly should. there's no reason that that shouldn't happen. it would be surprising, i think, if it happened this year, but there's no reason that it can't happen before the election itself. as we sit here today, there's absolutely no reason it shouldn't go forward before then. >> oath keepers leader stewart rhodes gave a jailhouse interview and kind of giving an ominous warning to the former president of the united states saying this, you're going to get railroaded, you're going to be found guilty if you try to go to trial, so everyone has been demoralized and more likely to take a plea deal and agree to test a lie against president trump, essentially saying what he went through is a blueprint for the former president. do you agree?
11:25 am
>> so i don't know about being railroaded. it's certainly true that the government has vast resources to bring to bear in a case like this. stewart rhodes learned that firsthand, and he has many years in prison to now reflect on that. and i think that's a bit of what we saw in that interview, and there are some similarities in terms of the approach. i think particularly if trump winds up getting charged in the january 6th case, in terms of being the leader of an organization and it being this significant charge, for example, in the rhodes case of seditious conspiracy. so there are some broad similarities there. obviously the government wants to get people to cooperate who it needs to. i think, for example, in this classified documents case, you're not seeing that happen when it comes to walt nauta, for example, he's taking the ride with trump apparently, so there doesn't seem to be any cooperation, at least in this case, at least from trump's codefendant, as we sit here today, but in many respects, the
11:26 am
case is just getting started, so we'll have to see. >> right. things could always change. jordan reuben, thank you, and be sure to check out jordan's work at deadline legal blog. scan the qr code on your screen to read it. new today, prosecutors say they intend to seek additional felony charges against a january 6th defendant who was arrested near president obama's home in washington, d.c. last week in court today. prosecutors urged a judge to keep taylor taranto behind bars pending trial warning he's a threat to government officials and the public. they're honing in on one particularly strange incident where taranto entered an elementary school near jamie raskin's home on a sunday and projected a movie about january 6th on the wall. nbc's ryan reilly is following this for us, and also with us, former d.c. chief of homeland security, darnell harvin. start us off if you will and
11:27 am
give us a sense of what took place inside the court today? >> i think this is one of those failures of open source intelligence that we've seen in this instance because what we really have originally here is someone who was identified in august of 2021, has clearly been disconnected from reality and posting on social media in the, you know, year and a half since he's been identified, and it was known to be in d.c., was posting about that. was publicly identified as being an individual who is on the so called freedom corner by the d.c. jail, in fact had been kicked out of that group or distanced from the group, because he thought they were too extreme. some of whom believe conspiracy theories about january 6th thought he was still too out there, and saying that he didn't believe ashley babbitt was killed, and she was an actor, and the people around her were actors were there. this is someone who was there
11:28 am
when ashli babbitt was shot. an individual associated with the county republican party after his identification, they were telling me he has severe issues with ptsd. this is a veteran who obviously went through a lot, and i think obviously needs some clear mental health, has some clear mental health issues going on, and that's something the magistrate judge focused on today, making sure he gets that help behind bars. it's clearly someone there needs to be restrictions on given he has 18 guns at home in addition to the two that were found on him near obama's residence, when he was searching for tunnels because donald trump posted on his truth social account an address associated with barack obama, and he's looking for tunnels connecting obama's house to other places, so, you know, it's really a lot of disturbing behavior, but what he's actually charged with is four misdemeanor offenses in connection with january 6th, so the standard for holding him behind bars is tough because he's not charged with a felony offense. he's not charged with the actual
11:29 am
recent conduct, and most were sent home. allowed to remain free until their trial, which makes sense, but in this case, obviously there are a lot of extenuating circumstances. i think wednesday is when we'll ultimately find out what's going to happen in this case, and if prosecutors are going to bring charges, more serious charges either in connection with january 6th itself or in connection with his more recent actions, troubling actions as he has been living in a van in the d.c. area. >> pick up where ryan left off, extenuating circumstances, and demeanor charges where feasibly he could have walked after that. what should happen here, especially when it seems as if he is a possible threat to public officials, the former president of the united states? >> well, not only is he a threat to public officials in the public potentially but also to himself. in the court documents his lawyer articulated that he is suffering from ptsd, he's on
11:30 am
medication, not receiving his medication. he has been living out of his car. he is one of many people that law enforcement are tracking post january 6th across the country that have fed into many of the conspiracy theories, some of the lies that continue to promulgate. ryan hit the nail on the head. it's unconscionable for him to be able to elude law enforcement as long as he was able to. now that they have him, they need to think twice about letting him free, particularly since the documents indicated that the federal authorities don't have any idea where the other 18 guns are and he was found with two weapons with 300 rounds of ammunition, which is mind boggling. >> think twice, but how do you do that under law? >> this has remnants of the pizzagate, december 2016 where conspiracy theory led an individual to washington, d.c. with guns to investigate on his
11:31 am
own, you know, a conspiracy theory in a pizza parlor. at the end of that incident, not only was he charged for obviously felony counts with discharging a weapon, but also on the federal level, and ryan can speak to this, transporting weapons across state bounds. keep in mind that weapons, even if you are licensed legally to have them in your home state, i believe this individual is from north carolina, they're illegal in the district of columbia. he should know that going wac to january 6th where the mayor and city officials put that out clearly. if you have a gun permit, and it's not valid in d.c., you can't be held on gun charges in washington, d.c. >> the other disturbing details, i think is more big picture, which is allegedly going to the former president's home because of the address posted by former president donald trump on truth social. his wife also telling prosecutors that he went to d.c. in the first place after hearing speaker mccarthy promise to produce unseen video of january
11:32 am
6th. how troubling is that to you from a law enforcement perspective? >> we need to stop these -- these politicians need to stop playing ftse with some of these individuals. it's all fun and games when you're tweeting out or doxxing the former president, apparently that's what donald trump thought he was doing, but there are individuals out there that need help, that have weapons, that are engroved in these conspiracy theories in the deepest darkest places on the internet and their own lives. this is what you get when you do that. for speaker mccarthy saying he was going to release this to individuals, this person picked up on that. so there's going to be some personal responsibility clearly, but lawmakers and politicians need to understand that their words matter and they have

californians pay some of the highest taxes in the nation. but now lawmakers are proposing a so-called “link tax” that would charge websites every time they link to a news article online. experts warn it could undermine the open internet, punish local newspapers, while subsidizing hedge funds and big media corporations. so tell lawmakers: oppose ab886, because another new tax is the last thing we need. paid for by ccia. welcome back, new numbers show just how much donald trump's indictments are helping with his 2024 fundraising, "politico" citing a campaign official who says that the
11:38 am
former president's fundraising committee raised $35 million since he was indicted in new york and florida. and that's about twice the amount raised in the first quarter before his court appearances. it comes as a super pac supporting his vp, hitting trump for being too close to dictators. watch this. >> america doesn't stand with thugs and dictators, we confront them. or at least we used to. >> there can be no room in the leadership of the republican party for apologists for putin. there can only be room for champions of freedom. >> let's bring in matthew dowd, former chief strategist for the bush/cheney 2004 presidential campaign, and msnbc political analyst. always great to talk to you about this stuff. doubling the fundraising numbers, are you at all surprise ed? >> i'm not actually surprised. i think the most compelling fact, especially in republican primaries, i think the average
11:39 am
donation was something like $34. that means he had a million donations of $34, which means he's still the grass roots gorilla in the republican primary, and the indictments as you and i have talked about before have seemed to lift him up. three months ago he was at 14, 15% lead in the polls, now he's almost at 30. it's the fundraising combined with the polls that show him in a dominant position to win the nomination. >> you're advising for desantis, let's say, or any other candidate in the primaries. how do you challenge that? >> well, i think you don't worry as much about the money as you worry about your message, and i think that's the problem they have right now. i think the only one that is recognized that he's actually running against donald trump, and he has to beat donald trump and basically show differences with donald trump in a really clear and concise way is chris christie, but he starts off at 1 or 2% in the polls. you need to raise the money but
11:40 am
more importantly you need to hone a message that is hyper critical of donald trump and beat on it every single day until iowa. >> what do you make of this messaging as you talk about messaging there, right, the super pac making this antitrump ad about being too chummy with dictators. interesting they bring up putin. he's obviously in the news not just because of the war in ukraine but because of this rebellion, 24/48 hour rebellion led by the wagner mercenary group as well. do you think that resonates with voters here in the united states? >> you know, when i was doing the bush stuff years ago, the most compelling value that republican primary voters focused on was are you a strong and decisive leader, and i think that's what's behind this ad. it's not so much about the dynamics of vladimir putin or the dynamics of north korea, it's more about undercutting donald trump's strength as a strong leader, and i think he has such an advantage on that,
11:41 am
and my guess is they recognize that the only way they can win is if they undercut that advantage on strength. so what they're trying to do, and maybe they'll do this in the next ad is basically say donald trump isn't strong. he's weak. and these are the examples of him being weak. that may be the next adjective applied to donald trump in the ads down the road. >> talk about kind of confusion when it comes to messaging, right? ron desantis making kind of the first public comments about the controversial ad he put out that was homophobic by republicans and democrats alike. i want you to listen to his response, what he had to say, and then we'll talk. >> i think, you know, identifying donald trump as really being a pioneer in injecting gender ideology into the mainstream where he was having men compete against women in his beauty pageants. i think that's totally fair game. he's now campaigning saying the opposite, he doesn't think you should have men competing in
11:42 am
women's things like athletics. >> matthew? >> well, i mean, one, the disgusting nature of the ad and the sort of hateful rhetoric that exists is actually powerful to many elements of the republican primary, and so i took a cue that they think it's working because normally when all of us say it's a faux pas, they apologize and move on and do something or redo it in such a way that it's acceptable. i would think what it shows is this is an ad, and this is a problem with it. i think it's effective in the republican primary, though i don't know how much it takes out of donald trump because i don't know if republican primary voters will believe it about donald trump, it's incredibly weak, incredibly bad for ron desantis if he happens to win the nomination. everything he does in that ad is opposed by a majority of the country, and i think that's the problem. you have to run a campaign.
11:43 am
in order to win and become president, the campaign in your primary has to be the same campaign you run in the general election, and ron desantis right now looks like he's only running a primary campaign. it might be effective, but he's certainly going to make himself vulnerable in a general election. >> that's a really good point. i'm not surprised by that either. matthew dowd, thank you. an exonerated member of the central park five has won a democratic primary to represent harlem on the new york city council. yusef solemn spent seven years in prison for the rape of a central park jogger before his name was cleared by dna evidence. he described his win as a quote, victory for justice, dignity, and decency for the harlem community we love. defending against a tripledemic, how doctors are planning to dodge major spikes in flu, covid, and rsv this fall. we'll be right back. rsv this fall we'll be right back.

11:49 am
"new york times" reporting that there are advocates, doctors, i should say, that are advocating for a triple shot here. do you think this is safe? >> well, frankly we just don't know. we don't have enough information. we don't have the clinical trials to know whether or not getting three shots at once, covid, flu, rsv for someone who needs all three shots come this fall, whether that diminishes the impact of each individual shot, there is a suggestion that says you get rsv and flu shots together, it diminishes the impact of each individually. many of us believe we should sequence the vaccines since we don't know the impact of multiple shots at the same time, especially three. so my advice for all of your viewers who are 60 and older, who would qualify for an rsv shot or medically higher risk, to stay on dialysis, or poorly controlled diabetes is to get
11:50 am
the shot first. it's quite long over in a year potentially. then to get covid, then to get flu because those have a narrower window of protection once you get the shot. >> what do you think when it comes to people that are under 60 and at what point will we have more information on this possible one-shot with three inside? >> you know, that's the critical question here, for under 60, really, the demographic here that might benefit from the vaccine are pregnant women. we know that the leading cause of hospitalization and death for infants is rsv. if you're under 60 and an adult, we're talking about pregnant women, whether they should get flu, covid, rsv, all at the same time, it's going to take some time to develop that knowledge base, and so really spacing it out by every two weeks, rsv, then covid, then flu, it's not easy. there's logistical challenges to
11:51 am
do so. that's likely the best way to optimize protection, side effects and whether you would diminish impact. i would say it's critical to recognize here that come the fall as well, yasmin, we're going to have better tests, hopefully a covid, flu, rsv test that we can use in the at home environment. a sniffle can mean one of many things we need to be able to distinguish. >> in the northeast, rsv was rampant, everywhere. how much of a game changer could this be when it comes to the rsv vaccine, along with new tests that could indicate you had rsv early on and seeking out treatment earlier than many folks that eventually had to be hospitalized with rsv in the vulnerable areas, ie, young people and elderly. >> i'm glad you asked that question, it's critical. right now, if you test negative for flu or covid, many people have upper respiratory symptoms, they test negative for two illnesses. we don't know. because rsv tests happen in
11:52 am
hospitals. we test more, we can give people an understanding ofg what may be causing them to have the symptoms, maybe it's rsv. we think we're dramatically under estimating the burden of disease with this virus. it's going to help in terms of awareness, building the vaccination campaign, especially in this era of misinformation and vaccine hesitancy. testing is vital to build awareness, but it's also going to be helpful when it comes to understanding who needs maybe eyes on, who might need to be hospitalized. it's always important to understand what you're dealing with here. that testing piece is going to be critical, downstream to help the vaccination. >> dr. vin gupta, thank you. wisconsin governor tony evers just scored a major win for public schools, get this, securing new funding for the next four centuries. you heard me right. that is the next 400 years. governor evers signed into law a new budget that gives each student in the state, $325 per

that's what i thought. introducing the next generation 10g network. only from xfinity. welcome back, meta's challenge to twitter, it's off to a very strong start. within a couple of hours, the companies app threads drew 30 million sign ups, including a number of high profile celebrity users, tom brady to jennifer
11:58 am
lopez. what else can you tell us about this launch? >> not only did it hit 10 million users in a matter of hours, but overnight after launching yesterday evening, it scaled to 30 million users and still growing. it taps into instagram's user base. instagram has over 2 billion users and they make it very easy for anyone who has an instagram account to quickly set up a threads account to pour it over their instagram handle, their instagram profile, and opt to follow the people they follow on instagram. so that's why we have been able to see this app grow so quickly. >> this launch is coming after twitter had made some temporary changes that users obviously were not happy about. they haven't been happy with twitter for quite some time. talk to us about that. >> well, just this past weekend, elon musk, who is the owner of twitter, he announced that he's going to be setting certain
11:59 am
limits for how many tweets users could read. these are different limits based on whether you're a subscriber to the twitter blue service or whether you're verified or not. you can get more access to tweets if you have some of the higher tiers, and then he saw the frustration on the platform, and then he raised those limits. he said this was intended to minimize bot activity on the platform, but users have been frustrated, advertisers have been frustrated, this is limiting the potential to use twitter and see brands ads. >> any reaction from elon musk to the launch of threads. >> well, you know, the ceo of twitter, she posted something on twitter effectively saying this is the original platform that all of twitter's users built it, and nothing was going to change at twitter, which is just as effective as it's always been. it will be interesting to see if elon musk weighs in on this. he and mark zuckerberg, the ceo of meta, which launched threads
