7:00 am
right now on "ana cabrera reports," extreme heat turning more deadly. 30 million people in the u.s. are under heat alerts as scorching temperatures expand and more reports of heat-related deaths and things like this dramatic rescue out of california. tourists evacuated from hotels in greece as heat-fueled wildfires burn dangerously
7:01 am
close. those evacuees telling harrowing stories. >> have you ever seen anything like this before? >> no, no. i've never been afraid to die, but yesterday i had that fear in me. plus, donald trump lashing out at the special counsel and the department of justice as we enter a critical week which could bring a potential third indictment for the former president. breaking news this hour, as thousands take to the streets in israel, that country's parliament just approved part of a controversial overhaul of their justice system. i'll have a live report just ahead. it's 10:00 eastern. just after 10:00 eastern, thanks for joining us. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. dangerously high temperatures across the country, 30 million under warnings for extreme heat.
7:02 am
heat that's leading to a growing number of deaths and emergencies. overseas a scary evacuation of tourists from hotels in greece. first, joining us from south florida is nbc news correspondent marissa parra who is going to be standing by for us there. michelle grossman, our meteorologist. marissa, this heat, so extreme. what is being done to keep people safe in south florida in these brutal temperatures? >> reporter: good morning. we've seen how dangerous it can be from coast to coast. we know the heat dome has been unrelenting, whether in the southwest, in the southeast where we are here. first, i want to start with this dramatic rescue out of california. it appears to be heat-exhausted hikers arrested out of california. we've seen several hikers die
7:03 am
even within the last week, we saw deaths outside of las vegas. we saw a death in death valley. so we know that that is something that out west they're saying. out here in florida we have seen people die as a result of getting trapped in their cars. we've seen people die as a result of working outside. when we talk about measures being taken in order to protect people, whether it's people who are working outside for construction, people who are working outside for labor, for farm work, we know there's an ordinance that recently passed its first procedural hurdle. there are cooling centers across the southeast, across the southwest. we actually had a chance to speak with the chief fire officer here in miami-dade county. he was talking about measures being taken not just to protect the people in the area, but also their own. listen for yourself. >> when it comes to 43 straight days of these kind of temperatures, are you seeing a
7:04 am
big difference here? >> we are seeing a big difference. speaking from personal experience and in speaking with officers, an increase in calls related to heat-related illness, lightheadedness, dizziness, fatigue, fainting, things along those lines. >> reporter: what he said is they're doubling the personnel they send out to the heat-related emergencies, simply because the heat is so taxing on they, themselves, as well with all the equipment, all of that gear and obviously just doing what they do on a normal basis, significantly more difficult in the heat, ana. >> when you see gear malfunctioning because of the heat, you know it's awful for the human body as well. marissa parra, thank you. we'll let you get cool. michelle, what can we expect this week as more of the country feels this heat wave? >> hi there, ana. great to see you. we' see more of the same this week, and looking ahead towards
7:05 am
august, we don't have better news. yes, 30 million americans under a heat alert. go inning on a month and a half of record-breaking heat. we're breaking records daily, monthly, all time records. we'll continue to do that over the next couple months. we're still in summer and still will be in summer for some time. heat advisories from the south central states to the southwest, into parts of the inner mountain west. it's expanding. we'll see more people impacted this week by the heat. we have excessive heat warnings in salt lake city and phoenix. we ooh elsie temperatures into the triple digits, miami. you won't see temperatures in the triple digits. buff you factor in the humidity and it will feel like over 100 degrees. the jet stream lifting to the north blocking any cooler air coming in. we'll see temperatures 10-15 degrees above normal in northern plains, the midwest, the great lakes and also the northeast. by friday in new york city it will feel like close to 100
7:06 am
degrees. it's been a while since we felt that kind of temperature. that july steam going on and on. triple digits in so many places. billings, montana, 11 degrees above normal when you end up at 100 this afternoon. minneapolis, 91, tomorrow we're going to see the same story. then as we head toward the middle of the week, we're looking at temperatures soaring into the 90s for new york city, 95 by friday. ana, it's going to feel like close to 100 degrees. >> that is a lot of heat. thank you, michelle grossman. the extreme heat is also gripping europe with parts of greece on fire. firefighters are struggling to contain 80 fires across greece. get this, nearly 20,000 people had to be evacuated from the greek island of rhodes which is the largest evacuation from a
7:07 am
wildfire in the country ever. let's bring in nbc's josh lederman from rhodes. how dire is the situation in greece and specifically where you are? >> reporter: ana, i wish i could tell you the situation was improving, but unfortunately that's not the case. you can see the town just over my shoulder and just how close all that smoke is to the village. we heard from the dep tip mayor of rhodes earlier who said the number of acres of this island that has now burned has exceeded 380. earlier today we were in another coastal town where we saw the fire slowly creeping over the hill as the entire area was being evacuated. now we know the fire, in fact, ripped through that town. it went all the way to the beach, taking hotels and buildings along with it. this is a situation firefighters have been unable to get under control. you can see how windy it is.
7:08 am
it's really windy here, whipping up the flames and changing the direction of the fire. i want you to hear from a resident who we spoke with a little while ago as i was watching this island burn. here is what he told us. >> how scary is it to watch your island go up in flames like this? >> to be honest with you, i haven't seen it before like that. but that was green, like, 40 minutes ago, now it's burned. it's scary. >> it came up almost instantly? >> yes. it's pine trees that burn so instantly. nothing a human can do. not even the planes can stop it. >> reporter: ana, you mentioned those nearly 20,000 people who had to be evacuated. it is now the largest evacuation in the history of greece. that is just on this island. there are other islands now burning as well. we have spoken with tourists who have been stranded after having to flee their hotels on foot. many of them now sleeping on the
7:09 am
floors of gymnasiums, schools, basketball stadiums or crowding the departure area of the airport trying to get home. this san ecological crisis, but be sure this is also a humanitarian crisis. >> no doubt about it. mother nature is such a beast. all we can do is respond. josh lederman, thank you. when we're back, a critical week ahead in d.c. as we await a potential third indictment of donald trump. how the special counsel's january 6th case collides with yet another investigation in georgia. also ahead, border battle. the state of texas and the doj now locked in a standoff over a 1,000-foot floating wall in the rio grande. plus, bye bye birdie. later, bash en jeimer shatters expectations. is the summer blockbuster officially back? ockbuster officially back?
7:10 am
7:11 am
welcome back. it could be a big week as we all await a possible third indictment of donald trump. with growing legal peril looming, the former president is lashing out again at the doj, the special counsel and the resources poured into the many investigations swirling around him. joining us now, nbc news correspondent garrett haake along with nbc's vaughn hillyard and katherine christian, former manhattan district attorney. trump got the target letter more than a week ago. i think a lot of people are wondering about the possible timing of a possible indictment. what insights do we have? >> count me among those very much wondering about that timing. the reality is we've got conflicting signals about where the special counsel is in this probe of the former president. on the one happened, another witness in last thursday. our friend vaughn scooped that will russell, a former trump white house aide was questioned about the former president's state of mind around the
7:12 am
election and around january 6th. important pieces to motive, perhaps, and pieces to charging decisions that are yet to be made. we're also hearing about other witnesses that may not even be scheduled to testify until early august. so whether we're in a situation now where you might see an indictment sooner rather than later or one indictment with super seeding indictments to come, it's too early to say. the grand jury is scheduled to meet again tomorrow and all eyes in d.c., including mine, will be watching that courthouse very closely. >> katherine, what do you think is going on behind closed doors with the special counsel's office? >> i think they're tieing up loose ends. i used to say we have to cross all our ts and dot all our is. you want to get it right. people shouldn't be, oh, they're still calling witnesses in a grand jury. that's a good thing, particularly if there will end up being an indictment. then you'll know it was very thoroughly investigated, every
7:13 am
witness who should have been called was called. when mar-a-lago was announced, meaning when trump sent out a letter, it was three weeks later that we found out there was an indictment, and then the week after that there was an arraignment. we might be on that same timetable or it might be a little later. i think it's happening soon, whatever the definition of soon is. >> trump certainly has this all consuming his mind it seems. he's really been lashing out. what stands out to you? >> i think it's notable just how wide a web this investigation from the department of justice has been over the last 2 1/2 years. more than 1,000 january 6th defendants have now been charged. donald trump potentially will receive an indictment himself to join that more than 1,000. there may be others from the likes of rudy giuliani, others who were alongside donald trump in the weeks after the 2020 election. the question is, did the special counsel's office seek to issue indictments to the likes of a giuliani or a john eastman or the slate of electors.
7:14 am
those are the outstanding questions that, frankly, we don't have a true understanding of where jack smith is directing his attention. we dough know they've spent millions of dollars as part of this investigation. i want to let you hear from donald trump just a few days ago on a radio program in iowa in which he was asked about the stakes if he were to be arrested. take a listen. >> i think it's a very dangerous thing to even talk about because we do have a tremendously passionate group of voters, and i mean maybe 100, 150 -- i've never seen anything like it. much more passion than they had in 2020 and much more passion than they had in 2016. i think it would be very dangerous. >> we heard donald trump suggest something similar after that first potential indictment coming out of new york in the district attorney's office there, suggesting there could be a dangerous situation at hand. we didn't see that play out among his supporters. we're looking at a third
7:15 am
indictment now, and donald trump is upping the ante of the response he expects from his most loyal supporters. >> complaining about the resources when it comes to money spent. almost $2 million has come in the form of security from the special counsel, from family members amid threats. so what is your interpretation of what we just heard? >> it's a veiled threat. i won't call it a dog whistle because a dog whistle is more subtle. similar to january 6th when he was saying go to the capitol or tweeting it's going to be wild. he's basically telling his followers, if something happens to me, like an indictment, i expect you to be there. now, he'll say, no, that's not what he really meant. but that is what he meant, and that's why. it's shameful. there's going to be the fulton county d.a. has already alerted the fbi to deal with security in
7:16 am
fulton county and make sure everything is on point. that was before he said this. so it's very dangerous for him to say, but he's doing what he's always been doing. >> speaking of fulton county, garrett, the jack smith investigation seems to be colliding with that georgia election probe. we learned the special counsel's office contacted georgia governor brian kemp. what's the focus there? >> ana, there's so much overlap between these two investigations. it's surprising to me this outreach didn't happen sooner. governor kemp became himself somewhat of a trump foil after suggesting the elections in his state were well run, secure and the results properly reported. we don't know the specifics of the conversations between the special counsel's office and the georgia governor. it comes after he learned that the special counsel reached out to the former governor of
7:17 am
arizona to talk about that time period with him. we know there's an an overlap twuz the special counsel's office looking at the false electors in states like georgia, arizona, michigan, where they were charged by the state attorney general there with election-related crimes. there just is significant overlap between the state level investigations and smith's investigation which is a good opportunity to point out and remind our viewers again while we have been shorthanding this as a january 6th investigation for some time now, it really is so much broader than that. going all the way back to the lead-up to the election and the intervening period between election day and the 6th. i think it's useful for folks to remember this is a broad investigation across several different states, not just the activities of the former president and his allies in washington. >> catherine, given the overlap of the jack smith probe, fani willis' probe, do you think one would impact the other's decision in terms of how to
7:18 am
proceed? we heard fani willis say she could issue her charging decision within the next month? >> it won't. i'll keep it real. i was a state prosecuor for 30 years in manhattan. i didn't like it when i learned that the federal prosecutors were looking at the same defendant as i was looking at. you're professional. you deal with it. it's perfectly lawful for a federal prosecutor and state prosecutor to be prosecuting the same defendant. it's called the dual sovereignty doctrine. so everything here is out in the open. fani willis knows what jack smith is doing, as least publicly revealed, and he knows what she's doing. i think they'll do what they have to do. >> thank you so much. katherine christian, vaughn hillyard, garrett haake, thank you. breaking news out of israel. the country's parliament just approved a key part of prime
7:19 am
minister's benjamin netanyahu's plan to reshape the judicial system, specifically approving a decision that strikes gujs from striking down government decisions that they find unreasonable. this vote comes as hundreds of thousands have already taken to the streets to protest this plan, arguing it will be a massive blow to democracy. nbc's raf sanchez is live from jerusalem. how are people reacting the the vote? >> reporter: well, ana, you can see behind me thousands of protesters gathered here in front of israel's parliament. they were making a last-ditch effort to try to stop this legislation. it wasn't enough. this bill passed over an hour ago. there was a cry, a kind of anger and despair as the news reached the crowd here that this legislation has gone through. we spoke to one woman. she had tears in her eyes.
7:20 am
she said she didn't know what she was going to tell her children tonight about the future of israeli democracy. almost universally among the people we have spoken to here, they say the fight, which has gone on for seven months now continues. it does not end just because the first part of this legislation has gone through. just to give you the government's perspective here, if benjamin netanyahu was here, he would tell you this legislation was necessary to curb the power of unelected supreme court judges who he says were standing in the way of his government carrying out the agenda that it was elected on. the vote in the end was 64-0. that's because every single member of netanyahu's right wing religious government voted for the legislation, while opposition lawmakers walked out of the chamber in protest. the opposition shouldn't be measured just in votes inside parliament, by the people on the street here. hundreds of israeli companies
7:21 am
have closed their doors today in protest of this bill, and thousands of military reservists have said they will not show up for duty because they signed up to serve the army of a democracy. so many, many questions, ana, going forward as this legislation has now finally passed. >> okay. we'll be watching for what happens next. raf sanchez, thank you very much. up next on "ana cabrera reports," texas versus the doj. the floating barrier at the center of a new flashpoint over the treatment of migrants at the border. new body cam video showing a disturbing encounter between an officer's canine and an unarmed black man. r's canine and an una black man.

7:26 am
the clock is ticking over a fight on border policy in texas. the justice department says governor greg abbott has until 2:00 p.m. eastern today to commit to removing a floating barrier in the rio grande meant to stop migrants from crossing the river. let's go to texas and nbc's priscilla thompson. what happens if governor abbott doesn't do what the doj is requesting? >> reporter: ana, as you can see, those buoys remain in tut wahher behind me. the doj says if governor abbott doesn't meet the deadline of 2:00 p.m., that they do intend to sue him and the attorney general effectively the state
7:27 am
and the doj sent this letter on thursday. what they said is that the governor is in violation of the rivers and harbors act because he did not get permission from the u.s. army corps of engineers before placing this in the water. the doj in that letter also saying not only is this illegal, but they called it inhumane and also says it poses environmental risk. now, governor abbott very quickly fired back saying that texas has the authority to defend its border. he also tweeted saying we will continue to deploy every strategy to protect texans and americans and the migrants risking their lives. we will see you in court, mr. president. clearly from that tweet, not backing down, but saying he does expect that this will end in a legal battle. just to put this in context, this buoy is a part of a multibillion dollar border security plan that abbott has put in place for the past several years here.
7:28 am
the thousand foot buoy expected to cost just under a million dollars. the way they work, they spin if anyone tries to climb on top of them, they extend about a foot under water making it difficult for people to swim under them. there are metal spikes between the buoys that should prevent somebody from going in between or through them. since we've been here this morning, the water is so low that we've already seen one person who simply jumped over that metal spike in the buoys and crossed right over. we've seen several people walking around the buoys. it's unclear how effective these buoys actually are in addition to all the other concerns people have raised, including add cass for migrants who say they could put them at a greater risk for drowning, and some of the issues we see with folks making that treacherous journey across the river. ana. >> we do know that border crossings were down, border confrontations or encounter at
7:29 am
the southern border were down to the lowest level in several month even prior to those buoys being placed there. priscilla thompson, keep us posted. thank you. from texas to ohio where there's growing outrage over police body camera video showing police unleashing a canine on an unarmed black man. joining us is nbc's jesse kirsch. walk us through exactly what happened here. i understand you have new information. >> reporter: that's right, ana. we've been waiting to find out the status of the canine officer whose conduct is in question from this incident. just a short time ago i interviewed the mayor here in circleville, ohio, outside of columbus. he tells me that officer is on paid administrative leave. however, the mayor says he was not immediately put on paid administrative leave. he says that leave began in recent days. he was a little fuzzy on the exact timing of that. we know this incident happened
7:30 am
on july 4th according to records. i asked the mayor about why that officer was not immediately placed on administrative leave? we're still trying to get more information to that effect. all of this unfolding after this officer was caught on camera conducting himself in a way that is raising questions. we want to warn you that the video you're about to see is disturbing. >> do not let them -- don't release the dog. >> reporter: in this newly released body camera video. you can hear a state trooper preetdly warning an officer. >> reporter: despite darius rose surrendering. >> get the dog off of him! >> reporter: in this body cam video released, the 23-year-old cries out as officers move in. [ screaming ]. >> reporter: state police say the disturbing july 4th incident came after an attempted traffic

stop with rose driving this semi truck missing a left rear mud flap. troopers chased rose for nearly half an hour, repeatedly trying to deflate his tires before he finally pulled over and got out of the truck. according to officials rose called 911 himself before exiting the truck and raising his hands. >> come to me! come to me! >> reporter: that's when state police say a local circleville, ohio, officer ryan speakman released his canine, commanding the dog to specifically attack rose. one state trooper walked away with her hands to her face while the state trooper who initially warned not to use the dog asks -- was i not loud enough? >> reporter: police provided first aid to rose who was handcuffed. authorities say rose was treated at a local hospital and charged

turning now to the 2024 presidential race where we're getting new numbers on the republican side showing that, while former president trump continues to lead the field, south carolina senator tim scott appears to be making up ground in early states. on the democratic side, nbc news is reporting new details about how the biden campaign is hoping to avoid slipups related to the 80-year-old president's age. joining us is former florida republican congressman david jolly who is no longer affiliated with the party and former democratic congressman mack rose. this is a fox business poll out of iowa. scott is in third place, also in double digits, 11%. in south carolina he's in fourth with 10% behind trump, haley and desantis. congressman jolly, what do you think scott is doing that's
7:48 am
making a difference for him? >> he's spending a lot of money which is the way modern politics works. he's spending a lot of money he banked up for this run. tim scott himself is casting himself as a unique profile in this race. if you remember his kickoff, it was in republican terms a refreshing aspirational approach to the country and where the country can go that's in hard contrast to the angry florida governor and the grievance donald trump. rick scott has money. he's spending it, but spending it on a message that's unique among the field. >> i'll say desantis is spending a lot of money and money hasn't exactly bought him more support. let me just move to this other part of the polling that i found really interesting. that is who voters say they would never vote for. this is bad news for former vice president mike pence. he's at the top of the list with 37% of iowa caucus-goers saying they would never vote for him, followed by trump, haley,
7:49 am
desantis. congressman rose, what does that tell you? if you're pence, what do you do? >> pence knows these numbers and knew it before he jumped in. he's in this to remind the nation that he helped save the constitution. he stands zero chance in the republican primary, doesn't have an electoral future. it doesn't mean he shouldn't be doing this. if you look at those numbers, another fasz nating point there which is that only 20% of the republican primary electorate say they would under no circumstances vote for donald trump. this is the party of donald trump. what makes it so mystifying, why all these other candidates don't go after him, think they can win by kissing up to him. you have ron desantis announcing they're going to reboot his campaign, all the while still sucking up to donald trump. of course, they'll never be able to reboot his personality so they also don't stand a chance. we'll see these numbers continue to shift with some going to
7:50 am
folks like tim scott, away from a desantis, but it's trump's number we should be looking at. that has been relatively stable, continuing the reaffirm that this is the party of donald trump. >> we have more reporting on the reboot of the governor desantis. "the new york times" is reporting that his campaign manager last thursday wrote that the campaign would pursue a, quote, underdog approach going forward. but congressman jolly is still flying private jets, staying at fancy hotels, hold luxurious retreats. does that sound like underdog behavior to you? >> no, and recall his ad that on the eighth day god created ron desantis because the world needed a warrior. max made a good point, you have as well, this reset, this reboot, that's tactics. that is getting him out in the national press, trying to make him look more presidential.
7:51 am
those are tactics. what he needs is a rebrand because the only image he has nationally right now is as an angry, paranoid culture warrior, and he's realizing that won't get him to the white house. so a reset of tactics will do nothing if he doesn't rebrand. but the challenge with ron desantis is he has five years of showing his ethos on the national stage of someone that wants to marginalize communities, insult people, divide people, and be the angry culture warrior. it's hard now to reset or rebrand into a traditional republican strong on national security and economic growth. he simply -- that's not who he is. >> across the aisle, the biden campaign is also making adjustments to cut down on gas, to account for the president's age. when boarding air force one, biden is foregoing the longer staircase and using extra large font on his teleprompter and note cards to remind him of the points he wants to make in meetings. obviously biden can't control
7:52 am
his age. are these adjustments helpful, do you think? >> i think they could be helpful changes to him if they're helpful. now of course everyone is going to know joe biden's age, and they will not be able to change the narrative from that. i think rather they should try to make perhaps what is his greatest weakness into his campaign's greatest strength. that it is no coincidence that his administration has been able to get things don that no administration before in modern political history has been able to achieve. look at the bipartisan accomplishments from infrastructure, the chips, to gun safety reform. that is because of his wisdom and incredible experience. we all remember the famous line that ronald reagan said in his debate that this -- yes, he wants age to be an issue. his opponents youthful inexperience, and i can imagine the biden campaign making a similar pivot in this regard,
7:53 am
and they absolutely should. >> all right, thank you both so much. former congressman max rose, david jolly, good to see you here. up next on "ana cabrera reports," the big record breaking weekend at the box office for bararbinheimer. >> this is the best day ever. >> it is the best day ever. >> the world will remember this day. er this day. wayfair's got just what you need! what... y'all this is nice. salad plates? kelly clarkson? i'm fancy now! i have always wanted statement lighting. get nice things at nice prices at wayfair! ♪ wayfair, you've got just what i need ♪ (vo) consumer reports evaluates vehicles for car shoppers in... ...reliability, safety, owner satisfaction, and road-test evaluations... and the results are in. subaru is the 2023 best mainstream automotive brand,

it is a full-fledged box office phenomenon, the barbinheimer ball battle, bomb versus bombshell fueling the fout biggest box office weekend in history. greta gerwig's cotton candy barbie, the biggest debut ever for a film directed by a woman, while christopher nolan's oppenheimer brought in more than $80 million. nbc's katie hartung has more. >> just as some were worried, suddenly hollywood has a pair of hits with this so-called barbinheimer double future proving opposites attract as the summer's biggest titles have fans rushing back to the movies. >> hi, barbie. >> hi, ken. >> reporter: from the pink sands of barbieland, to the isolated new mexican desert. >> the world will remember this ta. >> audiences are flocking to the

theaters. >> did you bring your roller blades? >> with barbie bothing $155 million domestically, the two opening ones same weekend causing a wave of online anticipation. >> barbie, timeless icon. >> barbinheimer as fans have dubbed it enjoying the biggest box office weekend since the pandemic and even soaring past big screen hits like supermario brothers and spider-man. barbie is maing even more history, the film raking in the highest opening weekend for a female director. >> this is the best day ever. >> it is the best day ever. >> reporter: the massive earnings come as hollywood is embraing a wave of nostalgia and hoping to avoid a downward spiral, from major titles underperforming during a summer movie slump, to the impact of the ongoing writers and actors strikes.
7:59 am
unions for both groups are asking for higher pay. another summer surprise, "sound of freedom," a controversial faith-based film about child trafficking that's already raked in 100 million at the box office. >> wow, this is the real world. >> reporter: studios hoping to replicate the success will have to think outside the box. >> i don't know if we'll ever see something quite like this again. >> chances are near zero. >> near zero. >> reporter: as barbinheimer has audiences tickled pink and hollywood seeing green. >> will this be enough to move the needle and get the unions and studios ready to make a deal? that is the billion dollar question. some experts say these strikes will be over in a few weeks. others say it could take months and now with the millions made from barbie and oppenheimer and the boost of the bottom line from this past weekend alone, experts say the studios may not be feeling as pressured to reach a deal right now. back to you. >> kaylee hartung, thanks. rocking that pink today.
