right now on "ana cabrera reports," we're keeping our eyes on a federal courthouse in washington, d.c. where a grand jury is expected to convene today in the election interference case. so, could today be the day that donald trump is criminally indicted for the third time? plus, just in, florida governor ron desantis involved in a car crash. he is not injured. but we'll have the latest on what happened.

also ahead, the slow broil of our nation continues. the midwest now grappling with near triple digit temperatures. and later, a new legal showdown over the border, the federal government now suing texas over these floating barriers in the rio grande. good morning. it is 10:00 eastern. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. we begin with the potential third criminal indictment that could come as soon as today for former president donald trump. the grand jury tasked by the special counsel to hear evidence on election interference is expected to convene in washington, behind those doors. there is more news about that investigation today, including that bernard kerik turb turned over thousands of pages of documents. he worked with rudy giuliani in an effort to uncover voter fraud. that's how he fits into this.

joining us now, nbc news correspondent garrett haake, ryan reilly, standing by outside that d.c. courthouse, jill winebanks, former watergate assistant special prosecute herb and michael zeldin, former federal prosecutor. do we know what time the grand jury will meet today and what's on their agenda? >> reporter: you know, typically they met on tuesdays and thursdays and start sometime around now in the morning. we're on a watch right here. this courthouse has a lot of entrances to it and as we heard from andrew weizman, there is a lot of ways they can sort of go about bringing in a grand jury a different way. they have done that with witnesses. we have seen witnesses brought in through the garage. you're talking about multiple entrances here. a third floor that is sequestered. there are ways for them to bring in grand jurors through back entrances and elevators. i think they're going to be working pretty hard to keep the large group of media that is now at the courthouse from finding

out what exactly is going on behind the scenes. tuesdays and thursdays are the day when the grand jury is meeting and there are a lot of signs pointing to them being in the final stages of this investigation here. >> garrett, what more do we know about bernie kerik and the documents, thousands of pages, turned over to the special counsel's office? >> kerik tweeted about this yesterday, said this was pursuant to a subpoena he handed over the documents and comes after a privilege review by the trump campaign. he makes it pretty clear he wasn't flipping or selling out his former colleague, rudy giuliani. but we know that kerik and giuliani worked together on behalf of the trump campaign to investigate claims of voter fraud around the country. we understand these documents to be some of that work product of what they put together. so, depending on what's in them, it could cast some light on what the trump campaign and what donald trump himself knew about the claims he was making about voter fraud at the time. how many times have we talked about this idea of whether donald trump knew at the time that the claims he was making false or not?

what is in the documents could shed significant light on that. >> so, jill, if kerik was involved with the giuliani efforts to try to uncover election fraud that could change the outcome of the election, where does his testimony and evidence fit into the potential charges that we know are at least front and center in this special counsel's target letter? >> ana, i think garrett was correct. it shows probably that they found nothing. that is what we know they did because they didn't present any evidence to any court or to any public forum, so they obviously found none. this would eliminate the possibility that a trial you were surprised by some evidence that there was fraud that had been discovered, that would have justified anything that donald trump did. of course, nothing justifies asking for your people to pressure mike pence or to pressure state legislatures or

to storm the capitol. so, even if there was some kind of fraud discovered, that wouldn't justify those criminal acts. but i really think that it is going to show support for the fact that there was no evidence and that donald trump knew exactly that he was lying to the public and to his supporters. >> michael, let's talk about the logistics of how this usually works, the special counsel already sent trump that target letter, it sounds like that happened before prosecutors have gone through all the evidence, before kerik interviewed. how do you make sense of that? >> well, i think they are t crossing and i dotting. this is not new evidence. it was presented in the rudy giuliani d.c. bar disbarment hearings, and the d.c. bar committee looked at the kerik documents and said that they're meaningless, they have no probative value and didn't take

them into account in determines that giuliani should have his law license revoked. so i think that what we're seeing here is the last stages of the investigation, where smith is trying to make sure everything is buttoned down before he returns his indictment, which could be today. >> and, so, joe, we also learned that former justice department official richard donoghue has been interviewed by the special counsel's office. we already have a bit of an idea of what donoghue would say because he spoke before the house january 6th select committee. let's listen. >> let's take a look at another one of your notes. you also noted that mr. rosen said to mr. trump, quote, doj can't and won't snap its fingers and change the outcome of the election. how did the president respond to that, sir? >> he responded very quickly and said essentially that's not what i'm asking you to do, what i'm just asking you to do is just say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the republican congressmen. >> jill, we heard him connect

the dots directly to the former president. he talked to the special counsel, but he hasn't gone before the grand jury, we're told. should he? >> it doesn't have to be. he testified under oath already. and that's enough to have what is necessary for him to testify at a trial. and, you know, you take a risk when you have someone who has already testified under oath testify a second time. it is almost inevitable the people telling the truth will change the words, they may have some differences in recollection, and that's grounds for cross examination by the defense. if he doesn't testify again, then they only have the one version. the thing you have to watch out for is if he repeats exactly the same thing, then you usually are suspicious that someone is lying because only liars have a sort of script and repeat the exact same thing both times. it is really not necessary they

have him under oath, they can talk to him in the office, and that's how it probably will be. his testimony is very persuasive. >> ryan, you just reported on another january 6th rioter being sentenced. we have video of him on january 6th, that man there, seen hitting officers, with a flagpole, will face four years now behind bars. where does the broader january 6th investigation stand right now? >> you know, frankly we're just now coming out of halftime. very early on we had an fbi official say they were in the first quarter of this, that was january 2021. you're talking about a five-year statute of limitations. we have seen a thousand arrests, more than a thousand arrests thus far. but only identifying 300 people that could face charges that day. what the justice department has been preparing the court behind me for is to have about another

thousand cases come forward. so, you know, we're over two and a half years in now. that's basically the halfway point. there are a limited handful of exceptions for some crimes you could extend past then, but overall the statute of limitations is five years. so really we could expect the cases to be rolling in until 20 -- early 2026, that's unless donald trump comes back into office and made clear he's going to be issuing a lot of pardons to individuals who stormed the capitol. that would have a huge impact on these investigations. there have been some other republican candidates who suggested they may look closely at how the cases are being handled and either issue some pardons or some sort of measures to roll back the investigation. if this continues at the pace it is going now, expect to see around 2,000 cases by the end of this, which is about two-thirds of the total number of people who could be charged. >> incredible that already more than a thousand have been arrested, hundreds already sentenced and yet they're not done. we know that this investigation,

the doj sort of approached it from the start wide and worked their way to the top. going after all those people who were part of storming the capitol, meanwhile, you have then this one chunk that was broken off for the special counsel involving the former president himself, and michael, the criminal statutes referenced in the target letter to trump by the special counsel's office, we're talking deprivation of rights under law, conspiracy to defraud the u.s. and witness tampering, those do not include charges directly connected to the violence on january 6th. no incitement of an insurrection, no seditious conspiracy that we saw some members of the oath keepers and proud boys face, does that surprise you? >> well, it is very difficult, i think, to link donald trump directly to the insurrectionist activity. i think that smith is being very careful not to indict on charges that will be politically pregnant with all sorts of

problems for him. i think he's staying closer to what is more traditional blocking and tackling for a prosecutor, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to interfere with the election, conspiracy to defraud the united states. those are cases that are really straightforward legal cases. yes, it is the former president of the united states, but these types of cases are brought every day in federal courts around the country, they're not political cases, they're normal defrauding the government types of cases. i think he's much better off staying closer to that line of approach than the insurrection case would involve for him. >> garrett, trump is then lashing out against the special counsel for days now. quickly, if you will, where is he today? >> yeah, i suspect that will continue both on social media and in his fund-raising appeals to supporters. he is raising money today in new orleans, at a more traditional campaign file fund-raiser and on

the trial in iowa at the end of the week trying to fit in campaign events around suspected legal events is a challenge for the campaign now and one that is expected to grow. >> thank you, all, so much for that conversation. turning to other developing news this hour, florida governor ron desantis and his team involved in a car accident this morning. thankfully neither he nor anyone on his team was injured, according to the campaign. this incident occurred as the 2024 hopeful was heading to an event in chattanooga, tennessee, and in a statement, the governor's team says that they appreciate the prayers and well wishes of the nation for his safety on the trail. when we're back in 60 seconds, have enough of the heat? it is making people sick, grounding flights and fueling wildfires and there is no end in sight. >> every time i step in the sun, i think about how i'm getting cooked alive. >> there is nothing compared to something like this. plus, close encounter.

new video this morning of yet another incident between a russian jet and a u.s. drone over syria. and border battle. the governor of texas vowing to take the flight over these floating buoy barriers to the supreme court. floating buoy baierrrs to the supreme court. shingles. some describe it as pulsing electric shocks or sharp, stabbing pains. ♪♪ this painful, blistering rash can disrupt your life for weeks. a pain so intense, you could miss out on family time. the virus that causes shingles is likely already inside of you. if you're 50 years or older, ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingles.

welcome back. this morning, an extreme heat wave behinds to barrel across the u.s. and europe. take a look at the latest images out of greece. the wildfires that are still spreading, forcing the evacuation of thousands of tourists from popular islands at the height of the travel season. here in the u.s., the red hot temperatures are now moving into the midwest region more accustomed to record cold than record heat. joining us from minneapolis is nbc news correspondent maggy vespa now. how bad is it expected to get there today? >> reporter: it is supposed to be pretty bad. near 100, especially by the middle of the week. as you point out, we're in

minneapolis, a place known for bone-chilling cold. we come here to cover major blizzards. here we are on this lakeside beach, which is expected this week to be packed with people trying to escape these near triple digit temperatures as that heat wave you talked about that has been baking the southwest for weeks basically spreads. the relentless heat. now affecting even more of the country. >> real hot. 100 degrees. triple digits for, what, four days? >> reporter: from st. louis to south florida -- >> nothing you can really do. nothing you can do. it is hot. >> reporter: -- to arizona where patients are being hospitalized for severe, even life threatening third degree burns, caused by contact with the scorching ground. doctors at the burn center at valley wise hospital in phoenix say they're treating two to three times more patients than in a typical summer. across europe, hundreds of millions are also suffering through extreme heat, including

greece, where our josh lederman reports thousands are fleeing destructive wildfires. >> the island of rods is a beachside paradise. imagine the terror as the fire swept through here. they had minutes to flee, some still in their bathing suits, walking mile after mile, to safety. and this fire is nowhere near out. >> reporter: in the u.s., health experts say high temperatures are especially dangerous for pregnant women, like kristen but, who recently moved from buffalo to sweltering fort worth, texas. >> i literally felt my skin burning. i'm, like, no, this doesn't feel right. >> reporter: but everyone, no matter how fit, can be vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. 24-year-old mountain biker khai torres bronson recently lost his life while helping dehydrated hikers in the desert, east of san diego. his passing, a sobering reminder of how quickly extreme heat can become deadly, even if you're young and athletic.

and, of course, our hearts going out to the family and friends of that mountain biker. back here in minneapolis, ana, you asked about the numbers. to be more specific, tomorrow's high is forecasted to be 97. that's just shy of the daily record tomorrow here in minneapolis, which is 100 degrees. and then more broadly, amid our climate crisis, scientists say earth, the planet as a whole, is on track to experience its hottest july ever and possibly the hottest single month of any month ever recorded. scientists add all of this is expected to get much worse unless humans make a drastic change. ana? >> maggie, thank you. new data completed by scientists, compiled recently dealing with the extreme heat is linking it directly to climate change. a new study from the world weather attribution group finds the temps would be virtually impossible without man made climate change and predicts extreme heat waves could become

even more frequent. world weather attributions is a group of climate scientists who study weather trends and produce rapid findings, meaning the results have yet to go through an extensive academic review. now to texas, and new developments in that legal showdown about border barriers in the river. the doj is now suing texas after the governor refused to remove this floating buoy meant to keep migrants from crossing the rio grande. governor greg abbott vowing to take his fight to the supreme court. let's bring in now nbc news correspondent priscilla thompson from eagle pass, texas. walk us through the legal arguments here. >> reporter: yeah, ana, this is shaping up to be quite the legal fight. on one hand you have the department of justice that is saying that this thousand foot buoy in the water is in violation of federal law. they say that the governor did not get proper authorization from the u.s. army corps of engineers before placing it in the river. and as such, he's in violation

of the rivers and harbors act. listen to what texas governor greg abbott had to say about that last night. >> they're using some obscure statute to try to stop us from continuing to deploy those buoys. there is not grounded in law what so ever. we believe we have the right to do so and we will take this lawsuit all the way to the united states supreme court. >> reporter: so, you hear there governor abbott not backing down. he's accuseding the biden administration of trying to hamper his efforts to secure the state's border and he says that texas has a constitutional right to do just that. so, it appears that this is heading towards quite a legal battle and perhaps the highest court in the land, if you ask governor abbott. ana? >> how quickly would that happen that the supreme court would take up this case and what happens to the buoy in the meantime? >> reporter: yeah, that is the big question. what we know is that at this

hour, no court date has been set. and also that the department of justice has not requested an emergency injunction, which means for now, the buoys will stay in the water. and just to give you a sense of what we're seeing happening here is that these buoys are around the length of three football fields in one of the most shallow parts of the river. so we are seeing migrants continue to cross in most cases, just walking down river into deeper water in order to get across. of course, a lot of advocates expressing concern about possible drownings as a result of that. and also governor abbott has covered the river's embankment with razor wire, so they also have to climb over the razor wire in order to actually surrender and be processed here. so, for now, those buoys remain in place and that will be the process here on the ground, and, again, a lot of advocates talking about the humanitarian

effects here with these buoys continuing to be in place. ana? >> priscilla thompson, thank you for staying on it for us. next, hoax. carlee russell, the woman who mysteriously disappeared after that strange call to police now admitting she made it all up. could she face criminal charges? and later, going postal. talks resume today in a bid to avert a massive u.p.s. strike. what teamsters want and what a strike would mean for your packages. strike would mean for your packages how are folks 60 and older having fun these days? family cookouts!

turns out it was all a hoax. carlee russell, the alabama woman who called 911 and went missing is now admitting her whole story was made up. she says she lied about seeing the child walking along the side of a highway, and that she was not kidnapped. the question now, could she face criminal charges? nbc news correspondent sam brock has the latest on this case. sam? >> reporter: in what amounted to a stunning public confession, even if it was somewhat unsurprising to many, carlee russell's attorneys came out and said the abduction, the sighted toddler, it was all a lie. the question right now, why did she do it, what happened over that 48-hour period that her attorney was meant to meet with investigators yesterday, that turned into an email exchange can became an admission on her behalf that this whole thing was made up. investigators hinted last week,

painted a picture to why it was almost impossible that abduction could have occurred, based on the fact that russell traveled some 600 yards, while on the phone with 911, reporting a toddler on the highway. they revealed internet searches leading up to her disappearance to things like do you have to pay for an amber alert, and one way bus ticket from birmingham to nashville. the pieces were all there to say this was a lie. now we have confirmation and where do we go from here? police say they're not filing any charges but are in active conversations right now with the jefferson county d.a.'s office about possible criminal charges. as for russell's boyfriend, she he posted on facebook he was blind sided and the entire family acted out of love and genuine concern for carlee but are disgusted by the outcome of the situation. >> our thanks to sam brock. what a story. turning to a tragedy on martha's vineyard, police have confirmed the death of a long

time employee of former president barack obama. tafari campbell drowned while paddleboarding near the former first family's house on the island. the obamas were not there at the time. and emilie ikeda is following this for us. such sad news. do we know what happened? >> truly a tragedy. a lot of unanswered questions, including how campbell ended up in the water, but authorities are calling this an accident. and this is something that is really personal for the obamas who described campbell as a member of their family, he first worked with them at the white house, and then the family asked him to continue on with them as their personal chef beyond that. this morning, tragedy near former president obama's vacation home on martha's vineyard after the family's long time personal chef and friend tafari campbell was found dead. >> 40-year-old male, possible drowning. >> reporter: the grim discovery monday morning followed an hours long search and rescue effort

involving divers, boats and helicopters that began the night before. officials got word an adult male went missing after another paddleboarder saw he went in the water, struggled to stay on the surface and submerged and did not resurface. >> paddleboard, no life reserver, wearing all black, have not had eye contact on him. >> reporter: he had been visiting the island. he was married with twin sons. his wife posting she was heart broken yesterday. campbell had posted videos of himself practicing swimming on social media several years ago. he served as a personal employee of president obama for years, the pair first met when campbell worked as a talented sous chef at the white house. >> take the beer bottle and basically fill it all the way to the top. >> reporter: in 2015, he was in the kitchen when savannah spent the day with president obama at white house for "today." >> you're making a mess, man. look at that. >> i can't get myself together.

>> you're a little nervous. savannah is making you nervous. >> reporter: in a statement, they say their family is heart broken by the news, adding, tafari was a beloved part of our family, creative and passionate about food, and its ability to bring people together. we got to know him as a warm, fun and extraordinarily kind person who made all of our lives a little brighter. as we mentioned, there was a second paddleboarder on the water who witnessed him go under water. it is not clear who that person was. the police are now leading the investigation. but a quick but important reminder to wear a life jacket whenever you're out on open water, regardless of your age or swimming ability. we have seen an increase in number of boating specifically when it comes to kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddleboarding. >> good reminder. now to a deadly encounter with a bear near a popular national park. rangers are searching for a

grizzly bear they say they believe attacked a woman near yellowstone. they say the victim was on a run when this happened, that trail has since been closed. the bear cub was found near the scene. next, donald trump hits the campaign trail with another possible indictment looming. how he's trying to use the legal troubles to his political advantage. plus, the advice mitt romney has for the 2024 republican field about how long is too long to stay in the race for the presidency. to stay in the race for the espridency age is just a number, and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv my frequent heartburn had me taking antacid after antacid all day long but with prilosec otc just one pill a day blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours. for one and done heartburn relief, prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn.

we're back with the latest on the 2024 presidential race. former president trump is making multiple campaign stops this week. and he's fund-raising off the news that he could face a third criminal indictment. joining us now, nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard from new orleans where trump is headed in a few hours. also with us, former virginia republican congresswoman barbara comstock and elaine beverly. >> reporter: trump is coming to new orleans, that's why we're here right now. he's going to be landing at around 4:00 p.m. eastern this afternoon. there are no public stops that we are aware of at this time. he will be going to the home of a major real estate developer for a fund-raiser this afternoon

before making his way back to new jersey later tonight. for donald trump, though, you know, this is a major part of his campaign. the fund-raising component of it. just in the last 24 hours the number of fund-raising campaigns that note the fact that a potential additional indictment is coming is sizable. just one of those messages said that, quote, now it stands a third world. donald trump propagated an idea if he were arrested, it could be a dangerous situation. he's going to the state of iowa on the campaign trail on friday and then to erie, pennsylvania, on saturday. for donald trump this is not hiding in the cave for this pending indictment, but being out there and being public and going on the offense against any potential charges that stem from this special counsel's investigation. >> elena, what are your thoughts on trump using the indictments

in these fund-raising emails he seems to be messaging an us against them message there, the legal troubles aren't hurting with republican voters in the polls, certainly. >> as vaughn mentioned, there is now no distinction between the campaign and his legal defense. and he's using these campaign stops, that's why i'm sure he planned for new orleans today, because we're expecting the third federal indictment to come down today or thursday and he's going to use this to help prop up his fund-raising numbers. he loves playing the victim. he loves using this as his legal campaign witch-hunt grievance tour. and so certainly now we're seeing a new campaign strategy on behalf of the republican party, which is indictments can be used in your favor to both stir up a base and also to fund-raise. over half of his campaign funds to date have been used in

support of his legal woes. he's not funding the bill for this, he's using his campaign dollars and dollars to his save america pac to defend him. and so what we're seeing is not -- the indictments are not chipping away at his -- he's still polling at about 40% -- 46% in the polls in iowa. and so now indictments have become the new campaign strategy of the republican party. >> and just to be clear, he has not been indicted just yet with a third criminal indictment. we're certainly watching and waiting very closely to see if and when that happens. congressman, house republicans have been largely rallying to trump's defense. even talking about trying to expunge trump's two impeachments. but he's apparently upset that gop senators aren't being very vocal, they aren't doing more to attack biden, which he wants to see. what do you make of how leaders of your party have handled trump's legal issues? >> well, it is tragic because

trump is an existential threat to democracy. he has no regard for the election process, security of elections, he continues to threaten prosecutors, and threaten the election process and national security. as was mentioned, he was using so much of the money he's raising for his own defense. essentially, i believe he's running for election in order to pay for his defense. so, those who are giving him money are basically paying for his defense, not really paying for a candidate who is running for office and, in fact, the past four general election polls are showing that joe biden is leading him fairly handily and i do not think donald trump can win a general election. so, therefore, it is tragic that he is leading in republican primaries because he is a candidate who i don't believe can win in a general election.

i understand it will be close, it will seem like he might be able to win, and certainly it can be close throughout the process, but when you look at the swing states, when you look at the demographics of women in swing states, of independent voters in swing states, it will very much be like what happened last year in 2022, and donald trump will drag down the ticket, will drag down people in those states and, once again, republicans will lose by hitching their wagon to this sore loser who should be indicted, will be indicted again, and could very well be a convicted felon by the time we get to the general election. >> in fact, we know there are multiple trials already with dates on the calendar because of the many, many cases that he's up against right now. mitt romney is somebody who has not stayed silent when it comes to taking on trump. he's been one of the few not afraid to go there. he has a new op-ed encouraging donors to take action.

saying donors backing someone with a slim chance of winning should seek a commitment from the candidate to drop out and endorse the person with the best chance of defeating mr. trump by february 26th. that's after iowa, new hampshire, nevada and south carolina all vote in their primaries and caucuses. so february 26th, that date. do you see that happening, people dropping out then? >> i think donors should also ask if a candidate is going to basically say it is okay for donald trump to be indicted or make excuses for him or validate donald trump, do not give money to that candidate. if you're not going to challenge donald trump, then don't at all endorse that candidate at all. i think that is even a more important thing, so that's why somebody like a chris christie or asa hutchinson or will hurd, who is saying it is not good for the republican party to have an indicted candidate, we should not be in any way validating

that or making excuses for that, or ever saying that we would support that candidate, so donors, you should not be saying that kind of candidate, who you know, would say donald trump is okay and the rnc shouldn't force candidates to say they would ever support donald trump because, again, he's an existential threat to democracy. >> there are a dozen republican candidates in the race. north dakota governor doug burgum who said he qualified for the first debate, who hasn't broken through at this point, but he got 40,000 unique donors to make the debate page and he offered gift cards to people who donated $1. now, he's launching a new contest, for people who donate to his campaign are entered to win two tickets to the first debate, airfare and hotel included. what is he trying to do? what is the strategy there?

>> he's trying to lift up his name recognition by using his own private piggy bank. and it is working to date. that's part of the way he was able to meet the threshold requirements as you mentioned for the debate. notably, mike pence still hasn't met the threshold requirements for the debate, so, people are trying to figure out at this point does he have a lane going forward if he is not able to raise the funds even though he was able to secure the 1% in the national poll and early state polling. but everyone, at this point, is trying to breakthrough in terms of name recognition. let's remember to your former question that if there is a plurality that donald trump only needs to win a plurality, all the candidates are crowding the field in february. mitt romney was clear in 2008, february is when he stepped back in order to consolidate the field for the republicans. they need to do that this time or otherwise they're going to

have a trump nominee. >> thank you all for joining us. next on "ana cabrera reports," uproar in israel, how prime minister benjamin netanyahu is pushing back on protests over his divisive judicial overhaul plan. plus, air aggression. new video of another close encounter in the sky between a russian jet and a u.s. drone. a e (vo) it's time to switch to verizon. sadie did. and now she has myplan.

we're back with another dangerous interaction between a russian fighter jet and a u.s. drone. that drone ended up damaged. the u.s. air force released this video of the incident, happened on sunday over syria. they say the aircraft flew within meters of the drone and then deployed flares with 1 severely damaged propeller. thousands took to the streets in israel overnight after the parliament passed a divisive law overhauling the country's judicial system. netanyahu defended the changes in an address last night and says he's willing to continue to negotiate reforms through november. and we are joined from tel aviv.

break down what exactly the new law would do? >> reporter: ana, this law basically redefines the separation of powers in israel. it's a little technical. if you imagine in israel, the executive and legislative branches are basically fused together, right? the majority in parliament is the legislative branch and the only real check on the power of the government up to this point has been the judiciary and supreme court. up until this point the supreme court has had this legal standard of reasonableness by which it can measure whether government actions should go ahead or not. i will give you 1 example. earlier this year netanyahu tried to appoint a man accused

of tax fraud to 2 senior positions. >> netanyahu says he's still open to negotiations. is this new rule go into effect or not? >> this new rule is going into effect. he's open to negotiations on potential other parts of the overall judicial overhaul package. 1 thing he's looking at would give the court more control, and there was a proposal earlier this year that would mean the parliament could vote by a super majority. >> people are letting their

back in my day, it was scary stories and flashlights. we don't get scared. oh, really? mom can see your search history. that's what i thought. introducing the next generation 10g network. only from xfinity. today negotiators for ups and the teamsters union will sit down and try to avert what would be the costliest strike of this century. one of the biggest sticking points is pay for part-time workers. they make about $20 an hour versus $42 for full-time drivers. the company's income rose 70%

hitting $11 billion. ups says its prepared to raise wages but not sure if it could meet the union demands. last time this august it was 1997, one of the big sticking points then was also pay for part-time workers. is everybody expecting a strike here or do they seem like they are ready to make a deal? >> well, both sides are definitely preparing for a strike. ups has been training its nonunion employees to work in the warehouses while the union has been holding practice picket sessions, but the teamster's president said they have 95% of the noneconomic issues done, for example, over the month-long negotiation, they have agreed to

inair-conditioning and fans and that big sticking point does come down to the part-time workers' salaries and what they get paid hour over hour, and that's a big focus as negotiations continue. >> with the workers racking up $1.1 billion in loss wages, and ups is a company seeing $16 million in losses, but what about the people at home? do we have any kind of look at delays they would see? >> workers are looking at a $1.1 billion loss, but customers could see up to $4 billion in losses, and those that are not associated with ups and are taking on more of the losses for a strike is highly unusual.

if this happens, everybody in america will feel it. ups handles 30%, 20 million parcels a day. if it goes on for two weeks, it should not be that much of an impact, but past two weeks, it will impact all communities in america. still disappointed you did not win that $1 billion jackpot? the mega millions jackpot has grown to a whopping $820 million. you could still afford the world's largest diamond. that does it for this hour. i will see you at 3:00 eastern filling in for katy tur, and always, same back same time, same place tomorrow. josé diaz-balart picks up our coverage right now. good morning, i am josé diaz-bal
