tv   Chris Jansing Reports  MSNBC  September 1, 2023 11:00am-12:01pm PDT

11:00 am
gallon for aaa, that's close to the same time a year ago. the holiday rush is on at the airports, the tsa expecting to screen more than 14 million passengers this weekend. tom costello, nbc news. we have a lot to cover in our second hour of "chris jansing reports." let's get right to it. t to it. at this hour, new body cam footage in the deadly police shooting of a pregnant woman in ohio. why officers even approached her car and how it quickly escalated. plus, nbc's exclusive new reporting on a white house war room as republicans ramp up threats of an impeachment inquiry. how the biden team is preparing by studying bill clinton's playbook. and in the wake of hurricane idalia, the president set to head to florida. the mind boggling early estimate of the damage.
11:01 am
and a better than expected jobs report is out, more jobs added, so why did the unemployment rate tick up? our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments and we begin with this new body cam footage just released from this tragic shooting in ohio. nbc's maura barrett joins us now. the family, i understand, was able to view this body cam footage before it was released to the public today. take us through what they had to say and what's on this tape. >> chris, just a week after this incident occurred, we're seeing the body cam video, and it's becoming more apparent that what started as a shoplifting accusation has unfortunately ended with this young woman's death. i want to show you the videos so you can see how it played out for yourself.
11:02 am
>> 3705, a female is hallucinating. >> out of the car. out of the car. out of the car. out of the car. out of the car. get out of the car. then get out. no. then get out. >> get out of the car. >> get out of the. [ bleep ] car. >> that's the moment when one shot was fired through the windshield just before you can hear ta'kiya young ask, what are you going to shoot me, and that's what happens. i want to show you what plays out after that. >> officers breaking into the car to render medical aid. they were able to quickly get a chest seal on ms. young. she was brought to the nearby hospital, and that's where she and her unborn baby passed away.
11:03 am
this all unfolded very quickly as you can see because the officers were already in the parking lot, trying to help get into an already locked car. that's when an employee had pointed out young is one of several suspects in what they called a shoplifting incident, and that's how everything played out so quickly there. the family did see the video just before it was released publicly today, and they recently released a statement saying that now that they have seen the footage in its entirety, it's undeniable that her death was not only avoidable but a gross misuse of power and authority. they're calling for a swift indictment of the officers involved. the police department has placed that officer that fired the shot on administrative leave, and they have turned over the investigation for those next steps to the ohio bureau of criminal investigation, chris. >> maura barrett, thank you. meantime, the white house is getting ready in the event republicans start impeachment inquiries against the president. nbc's sa hill -- sahil kapur is
11:04 am
on capitol hill. >> reporter: they're ramping up in anticipation of what one white house aide described as an impeachment based on no evidence whatsoever. this war room will be made up of about two dozen lawyers, legislative staffers, and communications aides. it will be based in the white house counsel's office, in large part because they don't want the rest of the white house bogged down in republican investigations and can focus on the business of governing. the white house has been studying the 1998 republican impeachment of bill clinton, and make the republican opposition pay a price. i'm told that the white house spent much of the august recess digging into past republican statements on the process and substance of impeachment to try to use against them. the white house broadly plans to drive a split screen between a president they will argue is focused on the issues while republicans are focused on political warfare. they are also mindful that a potential impeachment inquiry
11:05 am
could coincide with the government funding deadline where a government shut down is anticipated by many people at the end of next month. one congresswoman who escalated that battle yesterday is marjorie taylor greene. she promised her constituents, she will not vote to fund the government, unless congress does several things, one of which is to begin an impeachment inquiry into president biden and to have a vote on that in the full house of representatives. the white house immediately responded to this with spokesperson andrew bates saying the republicans made a promise to the american public about government funding. he says they should not break their word and fail the country. if they did, it would mean they caved to the hard core fringe of the party and prioritizing a stunt over high stakes needs americans care about, and he listed a bunch of issues after that. it's kind of an indication of how this war room is going to
11:06 am
function. a rapid response to every little bit that they see coming out there, all the drip drip drip, now, republicans for their part, do have their work cut out for them. they have a mountain of evidence of wrong doing against hunter biden, not yet against president biden and the first thing speaker mccarthy has to do is convince his members to get on board. he has not done that yet. some members are skeptical about the lack of evidence. >> now to florida where president biden will be headed tomorrow to see the aftermath of hurricane idalia. nbc's maggie vespa is live from horseshoe beach. i can see behind you just the utter destruction. how much time and money do they think recovery might take in florida? >> reporter: i'm sure you can imagine given the destruction behind me, and i'll step out of the way so you can get a closer look at the house. officials have yet to put a time line on it. they are also a little bit jarred by the unsurmountable task before them. the homeowner actually put it up on 4 foot stilts but that wasn't
11:07 am
high enough. the storm surge came in 6, 7, up to 8 feet in the area, and it came in fast. you can see the results of that. i'm going to step in and talk about the money. the other headline of the day, $20 billion according to moody's analytics is the initial estimate as to how much damage was basically done by this category 3 storm. category 3 when it came, made landfall on wednesday. we have been talking to people all over horseshoe beach. this is a small, kind of rural, coastal community, a very pretty community, and very tight knit, including one man who had just moved into his house a couple of years, and like a lot of people here, lost so much. take a listen. >> this is a beautiful little community, and i think in a year or two, it will start to get back that way. right now, it's one day at a time. we are here. we're alive. there are no complaints, there really aren't. >> reporter: you might have heard a crash in the background just then, a lot of big
11:08 am
machinery, heavy work as people start rebuilding and cleaning up and, chris, obviously also top of mind here when people have the band width to think about anything else besides what's going on around them is president biden's visit tomorrow. again, he's set to come here to this ravaged big ben part of florida tomorrow. we don't know which community he's confirmed to come to. he wants to see the devastation for himself and make his case to congress that fema needs a new funding package. he's asking for $16 billion to be allocated to their disaster relief fund because in this summer of severe weather, chris, fema says their money is quickly running out. >> maggie vespa, thank you. now to the new jobs report showing a still resilient labor market, despite historically high interest rates. cnbc's morgan brennan joins us for cnbc on msnbc. this is the last jobs, report, before the fed decides whether to raise interest rates again? what are the take aways from it? >> i would say here's the big
11:09 am
take away, hiring slowed amid the fed's high interest rates as you just mentioned, but not enough to raise fears about state of the economy. in other words, as the fed targets the tight labor market in the fight against inflation, job creation is slowing gradually. and moderately. the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.8%. now, 187,000 is solid, but after a run of 29 months, almost two and a half years of monthly job growth above 200,000, seasonally adjusted, the last three months have fallen below that mark, where the jobs are, health care and social assistance, which added more than 97,000 jobs, leisure and hospitality which added another 40,000. that's still well below or i should say well above pre-pandemic levels of employment, as folks continue to travel and spend more money on experiences. on the flip side, it's industries shedding jobs, were largely tied to oneoff events,
11:10 am
like that trucking company yellow that filed for bankruptcy, the ongoing hollywood writers and actors strikes, both of those showed up in the reports. you can see it on the screen. transportation and warehousing, for example, wages, though, those continue to rise. but the pace of growth is also moderating. it's up 4.3% year over year, but slightly below the gains that were clocked earlier this summer. that's welcome news for the fed. finally, labor force participation, how many working aged folks are actively participating in the labor market. that rate jumped to its highest level in about 3 1/2 years. it speaks to the higher unemployment rate. women led the increase in work force expansion accounting for a bulk of employees adding to payrolls and helping to reverse a trend in the pandemic. much lower than the participation rate of men, that gap between the genders, chris, narrowed to the smallest on record. >> progress, what do you know, that's a good thought to leave us with. morgan brennan, enjoy your

weekend. thank you. we have more breaking news out of georgia, michael roman, another one of president trump's codefendants in the fulton county case has waived his appearance and pleaded not guilty. roman was a senior trump campaign staff member in 2020. he is charged for his alleged involvement in the fake elector scheme in georgia. michael roman makes nine codefendants who have filed to waive their arraignment. and still ahead, chilling new video that appears to show wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin talking about threats on his life right before a deadly plane crash. we're back in 60 seconds f. e baf hello patrick mahomes! who do you even play for? t-mobile! t-mobile has plans that make upgrades work for you. they even have a plan which makes you upgrade ready every year. that's good play calling. cheers! take charge of your upgrades with our best go5g plans at t-mobile. having triplets is... -amazing -expensive. so, we switched to the bargain detergent, but we ended up using three times as much and the clothes still weren't as clean as with tide.

11:13 am
approaching the 21-year-old's car after report that is she allegedly shoplifted. then this happened. >> out of the car. out of the car. get out of the car. then get out. go. get out. >> get out of the. [ bleep ] car. >> with me now, msnbc legal analyst, catherine christian, what do you make of what you see there? >> i first watched the video in full without knowing any facts. and i thought when the cops were approaching the vehicle, i said, oh, this woman probably kidnapped a child and that's why they're being so aggressive. then i learned the facts that it was shoplifting, which of course is a crime, i reviewed the brendon township police, the police department these officers are from. they did not follow the protocols. the key is reasonable. any investigation of this, what
11:14 am
happened to this poor woman and this incident will be involving whether or not it is reasonable what these officers did. you can use deadly force if you reasonably believe there's an imminent threat of deadly force, death, or serious bodily injury. >> did you see the movement of the car as that potentially? i'm assuming that's what their case will be, although, i don't want to presuppose it. >> the problem is there's a protocol on moving vehicles, and it starts off in the policy manual that shots at a moving vehicle are rarely effective and should be avoided. it also talks about how you should take, as an officer, you should take reasonable steps to move out of the way of a moving vehicle, and this officer immediately just went in front of the vehicle and when i first saw it, i said, well, that's very dangerous, why is he standing in front of the vehicle like that, and he had his gun out. >> let me go back to that. >> that's dangerous in itself, for him. >> you have an alleged
11:15 am
shoplifter, alleged shoplifter. under what circumstances would it be okay to even point a gun at a suspect for shoplifting? >> that's the problem because the facts that i learned after reviewing it was someone from that store told one of the officers she stole. so they both, one would assume both officers knew. they were stopping her for stealing, not kidnapping a child, so the aggressive move of going in front of the car, which was dangerous in itself, and then shooting, so it's all going to be, like i said, obviously it's the officer who did the shooting and the officer in front of the car. >> one of the conversations they're having right now is whether or not they would release the security video from inside, which i assume is what would show the alleged shoplifting. does that really matter, though, in this case whether she took something or not?
11:16 am
>> it's only relevant that they even have a reason to approach the car. whether she shoplifted or took a gazillion dollars worth of material from the store, the question still is did the police officer have a right to discharge his firearm into that windshield as the car was approaching. and it wasn't accelerating. if you watch the video, it wasn't like -- he did get bumped out of the way. but the question is was that reasonable for him to then shoot into that windshield as she's slowly moving that car. >> catherine christian, i have a feeling we're going to be talking about this. thanks for coming in. volodymyr zelenskyy is expected to attend the u.n. gathering in new york later this month. that's new information from reuters zelenskyy plans to participate in a security counsel where he could sit face to face of a russian leader. and new video of yevgeny
11:17 am
prigozhin. we hear him talking about threats to his life days before he died in a plane crash. nbc's matt bradley joins us now. what more can you tell us about this new video and what prigozhin was doing in the days leading up to his death? >> reporter: this came out yesterday, and in fact, what we're seeing here is prigozhin showing a high level of awareness about the imminent si of his own death. we know this. we have heard prigozhin being described as dead man walking. if there was anyone at all that was surprised that he was killed or died. the kremlin denies that they shot his plane ouch the air, it seems prigozhin would have been the least surprised. he said in the video, it was taken on a weekend in the second half of august. he was in africa, and he said for those wondering if i'm alive or dead or how much i'm paid, that everything is fine, and we can't verify when this video was taken. it seems if everything is true
11:18 am
that he says in the description himself, it was probably taken a couple of days before he and senior members of the wagner group were killed in the plane crash or assassination, depending on who you believe here. >> matt bradley, thank you for that. concerns over the health of the most powerful member in the senate, even members of his own party. how do they handle such a delicate issue and one with huge implications. a former republican congressman joins me next. foa rmer republican congressman joins me next. for business for 5g solutions... ...to not only enhance the fan experience, but to advance how the game is played. now's the time to see what america's largest 5g network can do for your business. i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker

11:23 am
we have some new nbc news reporting that some republicans on capitol hill are privately raising concerns that is that the minority leader mitch mcconnell isn't being fully transparent about his health issues. this comes after mcconnell froze during a q&a with reporters and struggled to speak for the second time in two months. it is a sensitive topic on the hill, but one republican presidential candidate didn't mince words when asked to respond in public. >> right now, the senate is the most privileged nursing home in the country. i mean, you know, mitch mcconnell has done some great things, and he deserves credit, but you have to know when to leave. >> let's bring in former republican congressman carlos carbello, also an msnbc analyst. not mincing words, is it time
11:24 am
for this conversation or is this a decision for mitch mcconnell alone to make? >> well, chris, i understand nikki haley, she is making a generational argument for her candidate, making the case that we do need to turn the page and give new leaders the opportunity to fill some of these positions. with regards to mcconnell, anyone who has interacted with him knows he's the sharpest and most strategic people on capitol hill. i have talked to people who have been with him recently, and they haven't noticed any major difference in the way he has come across and expressed himself. however, since this has now happened twice, i think it's going to be very difficult for leader mcconnell and his office to refuse to answer any questions. i mean, this is one of the most important leaders in our country, and the american people deserve to know what's going on. maybe whatever he's going through is perfectly treatable.
11:25 am
maybe he can overcome it, if he is in good health otherwise. that's something people should know. i think you're going to hear more and more calls for mcconnell and his office to be transparent about what's going on, and i think most people wish him the boast and hope that he can recover because in terms of his abilities and skills as a leader, no one can question that, even people who disagree with him. >> they quickly released a letter from the capitol hill physicians saying he's fine and fit to serve, but politically, do you see this as more serious now it's been two times? there's been so many conversations about age regarding dianne feinstein and president biden, so do you think that this is a real threat to him potentially? >> well, chris, it is in the sense that there's a growing narrative in our country. by the way, in both parties, there's a growing narrative that we do need to turn the page and give a new generation of leaders the opportunity to lead.
11:26 am
we certainly saw that in the house on the democratic side, with nancy pelosi stepping aside and letting hakeem jeffries take over. there's a lot of frustration in the country that the two leading candidates for president are both an advanced age. so the threat here for mcconnell in addition to whatever his situation might be is that there's a growing narrative in the country that it is time to turn the page and if that continues gaining steam, that could sure pressure him and others to step aside and give younger generations the opportunity to step up. >> i mean, right now, the average age in the senate is 64. that's the second oldest in history. that's according to congressional research service. i want to play what some iowa voters had to say about mcconnell and the country's ageing leadership. >> obviously we want the people that are at the top of our government at the top of our
11:27 am
game. >> i don't think age has anything to do with your mental capabilities, but i think there's a time when things need to turn over to a younger generation. >> which brings us to the key question, how much of a question do you think, how much of an issue will this be for voters at the ballot box? >> it's going to be a big issue in the republican primary, with candidates like nikki haley and others making this argument. certainly you can see vivek ramaswamy also trying to benefit from this narrative. and look, i do think it's a fair point. we want our leaders to be representative of the country. if all or most of our leaders are people who are in their 70s and 80s, that leaves a lot of americans who aren't being represented. and we know we're living at a time when younger voters feel disenfranchised, feels like the political system does not respond to their needs and their concerns, so you can certainly understand why millennials and
11:28 am
gen zer's would want to be represented by some of these people at the top. we can only expect the calls for new leadership to continue growing. the question is how long can the current generation hold on. many of these leaders are sure hanging on tight, and it doesn't seem like they're in any disposition to let go anytime soon. >> you're right about that, my friend. former congressman, carlos, thank you for that. we have an nbc exclusive. a super pac supporting ron desantis has already shut down its door knocking operations in nevada, and in three other super tuesday states. nbc correspondent dasha burns joins me here with the latest. what exactly is going on now? >> a couple of things happening here, just to give folks some context, we got access, exclusive access to the desantis hub for its ground game operation. they were putting $100 million
11:29 am
into the ground game, a boot camp, they were training folks in iowa to go out across the country. go door knocking for desantis. now they're polling door knockers from nevada, california, north carolina and texas. now, in part, they're blaming some of the rules in especially nevada and california. they're saying that the rules in those states, that the republican parties are bending the rules to benefit trump in those states and kind of block out potential alternatives, but they're also saying they're really reinvesting resources in the first three states, iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina, and the conditions for those other super tuesday states will be created by success in iowa, especially. and so they're really focusing in on iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, that's where they have to get it done. >> they're not saying they're out of money. what they're saying is we have a
11:30 am
new strategy here. >> that's exactly right. they're saying, we have to solidify, iowa in particular, it seems that's what they're really eyeing. >> if he doesn't do well in iowa, wow. >> exactly. >> so let's talk about what happened right before the first debate. they put out this super pac, they put out a call, they said, we need $50 million to beat donald trump in the next 60 days. again, that just shows you how they know their window of opportunity is closing. explain the role of this super pac in the, you know, new you, let's call it. i was going to say the ascent and descent of ron desantis. >> what this super pac is doing is unprecedented. typically superpacs are doing advertising, messaging, they have the money and this is their purview. they are doing what a campaign typically does. if you're on the road with ron desantis, as i am, a lot of our teams are, they're doing the
11:31 am
bus, the door knock, they are doing the events. desantis is a special guest at his own events being run by the super pac. the sticking point is legally, because of campaign finance laws, they can't actually coordinate strategically with the candidate, so they're in this sticky place but because the super pac is where all the money is at and the campaign has struggled financially as we have been reporting, the super pac is playing this role that is really atypical for this kind of organization to play. >> dasha burns, thank you. safe travels to new hampshire, appreciate you coming in. still ahead, the politics of climate change, how do we respond to and pay for natural disaster after disaster when some politicians still make it a point to rebut reality. that's next.

analysts are now predicting that hurricane idalia may be the most costly in 2023. this estimated $20 billion storm marks just the start of a hurricane season officials describe as uncharted territory. meantime, in texas, air quality alerts have been in effect because of smoke from another canadian wildfire. the worst fire season our northern neighbors have ever experienced. then there's the deadly,
11:37 am
relentless heat scorching the earth with the hottest temperatures of all time. in wisconsin, forecasts of record highs and fire warnings for the weekend. but even if the science is clear, the politics is not. here's president biden. >> i don't think anybody can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore. just look around. historic floods, we have never seen this much fire. there's still some deniers out there, in terms of whether or not climate change has anything to do with any of this. >> it's a contrast from what we heard on the republican debate stage. remember? >> a show of handles. do you believe in human behavior is causing climate change, raise your hand if you do? >> we're not school children, let's have the debate. >> the climate change agenda -- >> with me now is nbc's monica alba in d.c., and david lipsky, author of "the parrot and the
11:38 am
igloo, climate and the science of denial," great to have both of you here. you know this better than anybody, the overwhelming consensus in the scientific community is that climate change is real, much of it driven by what we as humans do, but we also know the original denialism of climate science was driven by a couple dozen people, 25 people, right. so when you have somebody like vivek ramaswamy, or other members of that group of republican candidates who are outright denying or don't want to talk about climate change, is it worrying, even though it's just a few? >> yes, because what you saw with the professional deniers between let's say 1988 and now was that you could have 25 people, it was 24 plus one, and when one of the leaders of that group was asked how many of you are there, he smiled and said it's a rag tag bunch, there's 25 of us. and 25 people could frustrate the will of worldwide science, american voters, and people who want to have a good climate
11:39 am
going forward worldwide. >> monica, does the president see this moment of disaster recovery, then, to be an opportunity for a tone shift, and real action on climate change? what's the calculus at the white house? >> absolutely, chris, and the white house would tell you and the president would say this is something he came into office extremely concerned about, and that's why in something like the inflation reduction act, they made sure to have more than 300 billion that goes toward these climate provisions and measures that they say will slowly help chip away at some of this. but when you look at the extent of the unbelievable and extreme weather, just until the last couple of weeks, the president says that crystallizes the need, and just a couple of weeks from now, we know that fema who has to of course respond to these weather events is concerned about essentially running out of money. they're going to need to ask for more while a government shutdown is looming over a potential battle over all of that. so the president has tried to

make the case that he doesn't want this to be political, but we know that he has absolutely called it an existential threat and something they need to continue working at. now, tomorrow he is going to be heading down to florida to survey some of the latest damage. he will be meeting with florida governor ron desantis, and i'm told by white house officials tomorrow is not the time for any kind of politics. they can set that aside. they're focused on the recovery and continuing to promise to rebuild and all of that, as we saw the president do with the devastating maui wildfires just a short couple of days and weeks ago, but i do think you can expect to hear the president tomorrow while he's there talk again about how real and pressing this need is, and why in his argument, he needs to continue to do things through the administration, and this will become, you can bet, a big part of his reelection pit. >> the vice president who has been involved with an academy
11:41 am
award documentary. there was an international climate deal they could have signed on to and the monica lewinsky scandal broke. you put it this way, it's impossible to imagine a political issue with worst timing than global warming but the president seems to think there's a moment. do we know how to take advantage of it, is it the question? >> yeah, this is -- when i was watching the footage, it was interesting because it was like seeing a thought bubble that would have formed over the heads of the climate scientists in the '80s and '90s when they began saying, look, if we don't get off this path, here's what's going to happen. there was a very similar problem that we faced in the '80s with the ozone layer which some of our older viewers will remember. essentially the chemicals we were use to go put in hair spray and apply shaving cream, they turned out to eat away at the giant spf layer that we have that protects us from ultra violate light. it seemed there was no way ever to have an international
11:42 am
agreement. suddenly, the models did show that suddenly there was a giant hole over the earth in the ozone layer the size of an arctica, and in 18 months, there was an international agreement, and has led to us getting the spf. >> and fewer people getting skin cancer, right? >> the scientists should watch that happen. they couldn't imagine why we couldn't get after international events, and the scientists i talked to, say it could be. >> one of the things i think about in any issue is the watergate line, follow the money, right, i was stunned to learn in your book that members of the unification church, who people of our age will remember as the moonies who were at malls, street corners, they collected money, they made the church fabulously wealthy, but they also spent a chunk of that money on denialism. should we be following the money
11:43 am
essentially and applying those lessons to the present? >> we should, but there's three answers to that. one is it was fascinating what reverend moon said because people were saying, you guys are a cult, and it was young people who would be persuaded to get in the van, not sleep, get out, and sell flowers at airports, and when their parents would go and complain to authorities, this is a cult, what reverend moon found, and what he said in speeches is more than anything else, we need scientists, because as republicans pollsters found at the turn of our century, people are willing to trust scientists. so when they could get scientists to say, hey, this guy is okay. they found that they could keep going for another 10 or 15 years. one of the fascinating things to me about this period and watching the eight republican candidates you, can't get scientists anymore, and that's a really huge thing. and so finally, the last thing about following the money, there's the great phase, the journey of a thousand steps
11:44 am
begins with a single step. we can follow the money very easily. the money was going to the big denial center, james imhoff from oklahoma. one of the biggest deniers in the house was smokey joe barton, called smokey because boat worked with the fossil fuel industry. that trail is one step. if we can stop the companies from funding politician, we can have a stage of even republican candidates in the near future who acknowledge the reality that science has known for 40 years. >> it's a great book "the parrot and the igloo" thank you for coming back on. both have a great weekend. the day millions of federal loan borrowers have dreaded is finally here. interest on student debt reaccumulating after a three three-year pause. our very own chuck brewster talked to some of those followers, and he joins me next. talked to some of those followers, and he joins me next. can't stop adding stuff to your cart? get the bank of america customized cash rewards card,

now that's love at first sniff. the interest on federal student loans has started accruing again after a three-year pause because of the pandemic. nbc's shaq brewster talks to borrowers about the day they had been dreading. shaq? >> good afternoon, well, yeah, it's been a roller coaster of emotions for many of those borrowers. at least that's what they have been telling me. bottom line here is that for tens of millions of americans who have student loan balances, they need to start making payments within the next 30 days. but because of an action the administration took in april of last year, there are hundreds of
11:50 am
thousands of people who have a new balance. $0.00. >> everything says paid in full. >> the relief and celebration came in a flurry. >> i've been paying on student loans for 38 years. >> 0 balance. >> i am thankful for the biden administration finally coming through. >> reporter: the biden administration wiping away $39 billion in student debt. >> to see 0, i'm used to seeing 0 on my checking account, not any student loans or credit card or anything like that. so it's shocking. >> reporter: after more than 20 years of payments, sarah walsh's $40,000 balance gone overnight. how? the education department just did a one-time adjustment to fix errors with some programs that forgive loans after decades of monthly payments. borrowers got credit for late or partial payments, and for the time servicers put their loans in an extended pause or
11:51 am
forbearance. >> these borrowers should have been in a repayment plan. if the system had worked, these borrowers would have had their loans cancelled a long time ago. >> reporter: while this isn't the widespread cancellation that the supreme court blocked in june, the administration says this relief will impact more than 800,000 borrowers. >> what does this forgiveness mean to you? >> i'm not so pressured to pay the bills that i have. i can start budgeting a way to get a car, since i have never owned a car in my entire. >> reporter: with college debt, 1.8 billion, the president is. >> i promise to fix the problems in the existing student loan program which hurt borrowers for too long, and i'm proud we're keeping that promise. >> we think it's unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional. >> reporter: two conservative groups are launching another legal fight, asking federal courts to block future forgiveness. >> this is not just some sort of
11:52 am
administrative fix, what they're doing is trying to maximize cancellation of loans as much as possible in using this so-called adjustment as a pretext for doing so. >> reporter: but as it stands, cancellation that many thought was a dream is now a reality. >> i kept logging in to make sure that it said 0. >> reporter: it still says 0, and the smile hasn't left my face. >> reporter: for those borrowers who are not smiling because they have their payments due, the biden administration is touting a new program that they just launched last month. it's called the save program. it cuts the minimum payment required from 10% to 5% of discretionary income. they say that for many people, that will make their payments $0 a month. they also have some reforms to interest, making sure that interest doesn't accumulate as folks are making those payments. if you want to learn more or apply for that program, you can go to studentaid.gov/safe.
