JAMIE MASKER AND. >>> TONIGHT WE ARE COMING ON THE AIR WITH THOSE REVEALING THE IDENTITY OF ONE OF THE MURDER VICTIMS. HOW IT FITS INTO THE PATTERN OF THE SERIAL KILLINGS THAT STILL HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY SOLD DECADES LATER. STRAIGHT CHAOS IN YOUR CITY AFTER A SUPER POPULAR TWITCH STREAMERS GIVEAWAY EVENT LED TO CROWDS CLASHING WITH POLICE OFFICERS. WE ARE ON THE GROUND WITH THE LATEST. >>> DONALD TRUMP TONIGHT MAKING HIS FIRST CAMPAIGN STOP SINCE BEING ARRAIGNED ON FEDERAL CHARGES RELATED TO EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION. WITH THIS UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT MEANS FOR HIS UPCOMING POLITICAL CALENDAR. >>> AN EXCLUSIVE CONVERSATION WITH THE WOMAN WHO STORY HELPED DRIVE THE ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT BACK IN THE LATE 2000'S. SHE IS SPEAKING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT HER REGRETS INTO ITS ORIGINAL. >>> AVOIDING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTROUS MOMENT CAUGHT ON CAMERA. WHAT WE KNOW TONIGHT ABOUT A PRIVATE PLANE THAT TOOK OFF WITHOUT PERMISSION LEADING TO A VERY CLOSE CALL ON THE RUNWAY. HEY, EVERYBODY. POLICE ON LONG ISLAND REVEALED NEW DETAILS ABOUT ONE OF THE GILGO BEACH MURDER VICTIMS. 27 YEARS AFTER SHE WENT MISSING. THE DA SAID IN A NEWS CONFERENCE TODAY JANE DOE NUMBER SEVEN WHO YOU SEE HERE IS ONE OF 11 BODIES FOUND NEAR GILGO BEACH BETWEEN 2010 AND 2011. YOU CAN SEE WERE SOME OF THE BODIES WERE FOUND ON THIS MAP. HER DISAPPEARANCE DATES BACK WAY FURTHER THAN THAT. 15 YEARS EARLIER. POLICE FOUND OTHER REMAINS OF HERS MILES AWAY AT A PARK ON LONG ISLAND. LISTEN TO THIS.>> FEMALE REMAINS CONSISTING OF LEGS AND FEET WERE FOUND ON THE BAYSIDE SHORE OF FIRE ISLAND. APPROXIMATE 15 YEARS LATER ADDITIONAL REMAINS CONSISTING OF A SCHOOL WERE DISCOVERED IN NASSAU COUNTY. >> SHE WENT MISSING SOMETIME AROUND VALENTINE'S DAY IN 1996. SHE WAS 34 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME LIVING IN MANHATTAN. THIS IS THE LATEST BREAK IN A CASE THAT RAN COLD FOR YEARS REALLY. YOU MAY REMEMBER AFTER A DECADE OF SEARCHING POLICE CHARGED THIS MAN LAST MONTH AND THREE OF THE MURDERS. HE HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY. OFFICIALS ARE NOT SAYING WHETHER THEY HAVE ANY SUSPECTS IN KAREN VERGATA'S DISAPPEARANCE AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANY CHARGES AT THIS POINT EITHER. WHAT THEY ARE DOING THOUGH IS DEMANDING MORE DNA EVIDENCE TO PROVE HIS CONNECTION TO THE OVERALL CRIME SCENE. STEPHANIE IS JOINING ME AND HAS BEEN TRACKING THE STORY FROM THE BEGINNING. TALK ABOUT HOW INVESTIGATORS ENDED UP IDENTIFYING HER THESE YEARS LATER IN WHAT TOOK SO LONG? >> I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THIS CASE HAD REALLY GONE COLD. THE OVERALL GILGO BEACH CASE HAD GONE COLD UNTIL A NEW DA WAS ELECTED AND A NEW POLICE COMMISSIONER. THEY GOT TOGETHER AND SAID LET'S START THIS TASK FORCE GOING BACK TO THE BEGINNING. LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH. THAT IS WHY HE IS IN JAIL RIGHT NOW AWAITING TRIAL ON THREE MURDER CHARGES. THE IDENTIFICATION TODAY IS NOT A PART OF THOSE CHARGES. HE HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED WITH ANY CONNECTION TO KAREN VERGATA AT ALL. WE DID LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT KAREN VERGATA TODAY. SHE WORKED AS AN ESCORT AS WELL, AND THAT THE WAY THEY IDENTIFIED HER IS THEY USED GENETIC GENEALOGY REALLY. A LARGE PUBLIC DNA DATABASE THAT IS OUT THERE TO TRACK DOWN WHO FBI INVESTIGATORS THOUGHT WOULD BE HER FAMILY. THEY THEN GOT DNA SWABS AND COMPARE THE DNA, AND THERE WAS A MATCH. WHAT IS REALLY STRIKING ABOUT HER CASE, HOWEVER IS THE FACT THAT HER REMAINS WERE FIRST DISCOVERED IN 1996 AND WERE PARTIALLY REMAINS. HER SCHOOL WAS THEN FOUND FOUR MILES FROM GILGO BEACH BUT I WENT OUT THERE TODAY AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU :IT IS CLOSE TO GILGO BEACH. NOT CLOSE TO THE WATER WHERE THEY FOUND THEM IN TERMS OF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE DELIBERATELY HAD TO PUT THEM THERE BE WITH NO ANSWERS FROM INVESTIGATORS ON HOW THE REMAINS WERE SEPARATED AND SO FAR APART FROM EACH OTHER. >> I WANT TO ASK YOU MORE ABOUT WHAT WE DO NOW, AND THAT IS THAT HE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH SOME OF THESE MURDERS IN THAT AREA FOR WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HIS NEXT HEARING? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN THIS CASE IN THE INVESTIGATION?>> AS THE PROSECUTOR POINTED OUT THIS WEEK , THERE ARE MOUNTAINS OF EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON OVER A DECADE. THERE IS A LARGE DISCOVERY PROCESS. SOMETHING LIKE TWO DRIVES WITH EIGHT GIGABYTES OR TERABYTES OF INFORMATION. A TON OF INFORMATION THAT HAS TO BE PROCESSED AND LOOKED AT. IT IS LIKELY THE CASE WON'T HAPPEN UNTIL NEXT YEAR. YOU ALSO HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER CHARGES. THOSE BODIES THAT WERE DISCOVERED HE HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH THREE OUT OF THE FOUR. THE PROSECUTOR SAYS THEY HAVE SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE CONNECTING HIM WITH THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE FOURTH VICTIM IN THAT BUNCH THAT WAS DISCOVERED OVER A DECADE AGO, SO THERE COULD BE MORE CHARGES. FURTHER COMPLICATING THE TRIAL PROCESS.>> THANK YOU. >>> MORE BREAKING NEWS TRACKING ON THE CHAOS IN UNION SQUARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY TONIGHT DURING A GIVEAWAY EVENT OF SOME SORT. A POPULAR TWITCH STREAMER WAS HOSTING. YOU ARE LOOKING AT LIFE PICTURES OF A MUCH MORE CALM SEE NOW IT WOULD SEEM AT LEAST. NOT SEEN THE HUGE CROWDS THAT WE SAW A LITTLE WHILE AGO, AS POLICE HAVE CONVERGED ON THE AREA. THIS IS WHAT WE SAW EARLIER. THE SWARM OF PEOPLE STANDING ON CARS AND FOOD TRUCKS. THROWING THINGS IN SOME CASES. THIS ALL STARTED WITH A SOCIAL MEDIA POST IS SEEMS. THIS IS THE STORY YOU POSTED EARLIER TODAY. IT IS NOT DELETED FROM HIS ACCOUNT. IT WAS MEANT TO BE A BIG GIVEAWAY EVENT REPORTEDLY FOR A PLAYSTATION OR GIFT CARDS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OUR STATION IS NEW YORK IS REPORTING A WHILE AGO THAT HE IS FACING CHARGES RELATED TO THIS WHOLE SITUATION. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE CHAOS THAT WE SAW TO BREAKOUT, BUT THEY ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO STEER CLEAR OF THIS AREA. THE SUBWAY SYSTEM LETTING PEOPLE KNOW A BUNCH OF MAJOR TRAIN STATIONS WOULD BE SKIPPING THAT STATION BECAUSE OF THE CRAZY THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING OR WERE A WHILE AGO. JOINING US NOW ON THE PHONE, AS HE HAS MADE HIS WAY TO THAT AREA. WHAT ARE YOU SEEING AND HEARING? >> THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE DOWN HERE, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO DISPERSE THEM. A HUGE NUMBER OF POLICE ARE HERE FURY IT IS GOING WELL AND THEN IT SEEMS TO NOT BE GOING WELL IN OTHER PLACES. YOU CAN STILL SEE SOME PUSHING AND SHOVING GOING ON. A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE DOWN HERE ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO AGO FOR THIS IMPROMPTU SOCIAL MEDIA ORGANIZED GIVEAWAY BY THIS INFLUENCER. SINCE THEN WE HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF ARRESTS AND A NUMBER OF THINGS THROWN AROUND IN THE AIR. WE ARE HOPING TO GET MORE OF A SENSE FROM THE POLICE OF THE OVERALL SITUATION. I STANDING ON THE EDGE OF UNION SQUARE. THERE IS A STEADY STREAM OF PEOPLE COMING AWAY FROM THAT AREA, BUT THERE ARE STILL A SIGNIFICANT CROWD THERE. THIS COULD GO ON FOR SOME TIME. THE POLICE ARE TRYING TO DO IT SECTION BY SECTION. TELLING PEOPLE THIS WON'T HAPPEN. THE GIVEAWAY IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. THE WORD IS SPREADING. ARE JUST TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO MOVE AWAY. WE ARE STANDING HERE WITH A GROUP OF OFFICERS WHO SEEM TO BE GOING IN WAVES. THEY WILL COME OUT AND GO IN AS THEY TRIED TO GET ORDER HERE IN THE HEART OF MANHATTAN. I GUESS THERE WERE SOME WARNINGS ABOUT THE EVENT. OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS ADVERTISING, BUT HOW THEY WENT WRONG IS STILL UNCLEAR. AS SOON AS THE GIVEAWAY WAS ABOUT TO START CHAOS ERUPTED. THAT WAS ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO OR MORE I GO. HERE WE ARE AGAIN WITH THE POLICE MAKING SOME ARRESTS BUT WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY. JUST TRYING TO BRING SOME ORDER BY GETTING PEOPLE TO LEAVE THIS AREA. IT IS A HEAVILY DENSE AREA ON A GOOD DAY. OFTEN PROTESTS DOWN HERE. TODAY THINGS DEFINITELY GOT OUT OF CONTROL FOR SOMETIME AND THEY'RE TRYING TO REESTABLISH ORDER. >> WE APPRECIATE IT. IN A COUPLE OF HOURS FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GOING TO MAKE HIS FIRST APPEARANCE BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AFTER BEING ARRAIGNED IN PLEADING NOT GUILTY TO CHARGES RELATED TO TRYING TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION. HE IS IN ALABAMA TONIGHT SET TO SPEAK AT A REPUBLICAN DID AS THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER. TOMORROW HE GOES TO SOUTH CAROLINA TO HEADLINE THE PARTIES SILVER ELEPHANT DINNER. >>> THIS POLL HAPPEN BEFORE YESTERDAY'S ARRAIGNMENT OBVIOUSLY, BUT THE REALITY AT THIS POINT IS ACTUALLY FORMER PRESIDENT LEGAL ISSUES THAT MAKE HIM MORE POPULAR BUT SOME REPUBLICAN VOTERS. OUR PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE YESTERDAY WHERE WE WERE YELLING THAT HE IS EVEN MORE POPULAR NOW. WE LOVE HIM EVEN MORE. YOU ARE HELPING THE TRUMP CAUSE. WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING TONIGHT? >> I EXPECT HIM TO LEAN INTO HIS LEGAL BATTLES. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE THING TO WITNESS. IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN DOWN A NUMBER OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES THAT HAVE SOLD FOR ONLY MADE HIM STRONGER. AT LEAST IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY. THE FACT HE SUCCESSFULLY GOT THE ENTIRE PUBLIC AND PARTY SINGING FROM THE SAME HYMNAL THAT SOMEHOW THIS IS THE WEAPONIZE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE GOING AFTER HIM SPECIFICALLY HAS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR HIS RIVALS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET AN ARM AROUND AND ATTACKING OR HOW TO DRAW A CONTRAST WITH HIM THAT WE WANT TO PLAY YOU WHAT THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR SAID TODAY WHEN HE WAS ASKED WHETHER OR NOT HE THOUGHT THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN. IF YOU SQUINT REALLY HARD RIGHT HERE YOU CAN HEAR SOME CRITICISM OF DONALD TRUMP. LISTEN TO THIS. >> I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES THE ELECTION IS WHAT IT IS. ALL THOSE THEORIES THAT WERE PUT OUT DID NOT PROVE TO E TRUE. BUT I ALSO SAID IS THE WAY YOU CONDUCT A GOOD ELECTION PEOPLE OF CONFIDENCE IN YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE RULES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME. >> THAT IS WHAT AMOUNTS TO A BREAK FROM DONALD TRUMP TO SOME CONTRAST WITH DONALD TRUMP ON THE ISSUE OF WHETHER OR NOT AN ELECTION WAS STOLEN AND FEDERAL CHARGES BASICALLY AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT FOR HIS EFFORTS ON AT WERE APPROPRIATED. THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE RIFLE. WHEN YOU LOOK INTO THE POLLING YOU SEE WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM. AND A SENIOR TIMES POLL THERE IS BACK-AND-FORTH ABOUT THE QUESTION OF WOULD YOU STILL SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP IF E IS CONVICTED OF A FELONY? WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS ON THE 45% ARE REPUBLICANS OR DOES THE WRITERS PULL THE SAID THEY WOULD NOT VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP IF CONVICTED OF A FELONY BE 35% SAID THEY WOULD BE 35% WINS THE PRIMARIES AND MOST STATES IN A MULTICANDIDATE FIELD. THAT IS THE PROBLEM FOR HE REST OF THE REPUBLICANS. >> THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER CASE. ANY DAY WE EXPECT THE DA IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA WILL ANNOUNCE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER IF THE OFFICE WILL CHARGE THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN CONNECTION TO EFFORTS IN THAT STATE TO OVERTURN ELECTION RESULTS. AT THIS POINT DO WE HAVE A SENSE OF HOW SOON WE MIGHT GET THAT DECISION? HOW SERIOUS CHARGES MIGHT BE WHEN YOU COMPARE THEM TO THE OTHER CHARGES THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THERE? >> WE ARE IN THE WINDOW RIGHT NOW WHERE HE COULD HAPPEN NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER THE EVENT IS THE TIMEFRAME WHERE WE EXPECT THE DECISION TO BE MADE ON THIS . THE BROAD-SPECTRUM CHARGES ARE THE SAME, BUT THE DATA POINTS ARE MORE SPECIFIC TO GEORGIA. WHAT IS INTERESTING IS IT HAS PROBABLY THE SINGLE MOST FAMOUS PIECE OF EVIDENCE INVOLVING 2020 ELECTION INTERFERENCE CLAIMS. THE CALL TO THE GEORGIA SECRETARY OF STATE WHERE HE SAYS I NEED YOU TO FIND ME THESE EXTRA VOTES. THAT WILL BE ESSENTIAL PIECE TO THIS CASE. YOU WILL LIKELY SEE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DEFENDANTS IN THIS CASE. THEY ARE AN EXPERT ON RICO CASES BUT DON'T EXPECT THIS TO BE JUST DONALD TRUMP WHO GETS INDICTED IN GEORGIA IF THERE ARE INDICTMENTS IN GEORGIA.>> THANK YOU.>>> UKRAINE TONIGHT CLAIMING A BATTLEFIELD WIN ON RUSSIAN SOIL AFTER A DRONE A TRUCK APPEARS TO HAVE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED A RUSSIAN WARSHIP. WE VERIFIED THE FOOTAGE THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE APPEARED TO SHOW THE DRONE ZOOMING TO THE RUSSIAN SHIP THE VIDEO SUDDENLY CUTS OUT . IMPLYING IT EXPLODED WHEN IT GOT CLOSE TO THE VESSEL. RUSSIA CLAIMS IT DESTROYED THE DRONES AND STOP THE ATTACK, BUT MORE VIDEO VERIFIED BY NBC NEWS TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY. YOU CAN SEE THE SHIP HERE BEING TUGGED INTO A NEARBY REPORT INDICATING THE SHIP HAD PRETTY SERIOUS DAMAGE. THAT BRADLEY IS COVERING THAT FOR US AND JOINS US. THE LAST FEW WEEKS WE HAVE SEEN THIS ATTACK ON THE WARSHIP. THREE SEPARATE DRONE ATTACKS IN MOSCOW. TALK TO US ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE HERE FOR BOTH SIDES SYMBOLICALLY AND FOR THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL WAR EFFORT >> OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A HUGE BOON FOR UKRAINE AND HUMILIATION FOR RUSSIA AS WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GET HAS BEEN HUMILIATION AFTER HUMILIATION FOR RUSSIA NOT ON THE BATTLEFIELD IN UKRAINE, BUT IN TERMS OF UKRAINE'S ABILITY TO REACH OUT INTO THE RUSSIAN MAINLAND AND ATTACKING TARGETS THAT WERE THOUGHT TO BE SAFE. THIS WAS ALL HAPPENING IN A PORT THAT IS NOT IN AN OCCUPIED AREA OF UKRAINE. THIS IS RUSSIA PROPER. JUST LIKE MOSCOW WHERE THERE WERE DRONE ATTACKS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GOES TO SHOW UKRAINE CAN EXTEND ITS FIREPOWER INTO UKRAINE PROPER, AND THIS WAS REPORTED THE RUSSIANS HAD ACTUALLY BEEN MOVING SHIPS FROM THE PENINSULA IN SOUTHERN UKRAINE THAT WAS OCCUPIED BY THE RUSSIANS WHEN THEY LAST INVADED IN 2014. THEY WERE MOVING SHIPS FROM THEIR BECAUSE IT WAS SO UNSAFE, AND MOVING THEM TO THE CITY IN THE MAINLAND. THIS GOES TO SHOW NOT JUST THE UKRAINIANS CAN STRIKE RUSSIA PROPER, BUT THAT THE SAFEGUARDED AREA THIS PLACE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE WAS ACTUALLY WELL WITHIN UKRAINIAN TARGETING. >> AT THE SAME TIME THESE DOMESTIC ISSUES RUSSIA IS DEALING WITH. I KNOW A RUSSIAN COURSE AND IN THE WELL-KNOWN DISSIDENT IN RUSSIA ANOTHER 19 YEARS IN PRISON. HE WAS ALREADY IN THE MIDDLE OF A 12 YEAR SENTENCE ON OTHER CHARGES THE OPPOSITION CALLED BOGUS. TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE NEW SENTENCE. WHAT MESSAGE ARE THEY TRYING TO SEND BY IMPRISONING ONE OF HIS STRONGEST CRITICS FOR ANOTHER TWO DECADES ALMOST >> THE MESSAGE IS CHILLING AND HAS BEEN CHILLING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. HE HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO HIS PRISON TERMS. THIS GOES TO SHOW WHEN WE HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE FANS OR FOLLOWERS IN RUSSIA THEY SAY IT IS VERY CLEAR HE WILL NEVER BE FREE AS LONG AS PUTIN IS IN POWER. WE ARE SEEING AN EXTENSION OF 80 TAME AND THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE A WHILE AND THAT IS SET TO GO ON. SUCH A RISK AND A THREAT TO THE ELITE IN THE KREMLIN THAT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY ARE DETERMINED TO KEEP HIM IN JAIL. HE HAS SAID AS MUCH PUBLICLY IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> LET'S GO TO THE WEATHER WHERE EMERGENCY CREWS IN TENNESSEE ARE OUT RESCUING PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAPPED IN THEIR HOMES BY SOME SERIOUS FLOODING. YOU CAN SEE HERE THE WATER UP THE DOORS OF BUILDINGS AND HOMES AND CARS AND ALMOST FULLY UNDERWATER IN SOME CASES. PRACTICALLY NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE YOU WILL BE HIT WITH SOME TYPE OF WEATHER THIS WEEKEND. THEY COULD SEE MORE SEVERE STORMS THAT BRINGS THE HEAVY RAIN AND WIND AND HAIL WE HAVE SEEN IN SOME CASES. CREATING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. ALL THE WAY TO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE ALMOST 50 MILLION PEOPLE UNDER HEAT ALERT AS TEMPERATURES RAMP BACK UP. MULTIPLE RECORDS COULD BE SHATTERED. LET'S BRING IN OUR METEOROLOGIST TO WALK US THROUGH THIS COULD REALLY A MIXED BAG OF ALL THINGS WITH THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND. EXPLAINED THAT FOR US. >> WE WILL START WITH THE MOST SEVERE OR LIFE-THREATENING, AND THAT IS FLASH FLOODING TAKING PLACE IN VERMONT AND UPSTATE NEW YORK THAT HAVE BEEN SOAKED STORM AFTER STORM ALL SUMMER LONG. ANDRE FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS JUST TO THE NORTH ANDRE FLASH FLOOD WARNING. A COUPLE TO THE NORTH. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING. WHEN THE SUNSET THEY WILL START TO DIE DOWN. YOU CAN SEE HOW WIDESPREAD THEY ARE IN THIS AREA APPEAR HERE IS A LOOK AT A COUPLE OF THE SPOTS. THERE IS THE BIG STORM TO THE SOUTH OF ALBANY. THIS WAS JUST BARELY MISSING SARATOGA SPRINGS. THE RACETRACK IS IN SESSION RIGHT NOW. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS GO THERE. AS FAR AS SEVERE WEATHER WE GO INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. INTO OMAHA. AND THEN CHICAGO ON SUNDAY ALTHOUGH WAY TO INDIANAPOLIS AND LEXINGTON TO THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY IS HOT. THAT WE ARE IN THE NORTHERN HALF LIKELY DEALING WITH STORMS.>> WE APPRECIATE THE HEADS UP. >>> RADIATORS ARE GOING BACK TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE WITH HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS. MAJOR STUDIO IS THERE. NEARLY 100 DAYS SINCE THE STRIKE STARTED. THEY ARE SKEPTICAL OF MAKING ANY BIG BREAKTHROUGHS HERE. IN AN EMAIL TO MEMBERS THEY WROTE WE WON'T PREJUDGE WHAT IS TO COME, BUT PLAYBOOKS DIEHARD. THE STUDIO SHOT BACKHAULING THE UNION STATEMENTS UNFORTUNATE INSISTING THE ONLY PLAYBOOK IS GETTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK. THIS HAPPENS AS THE HEAD OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST STUDIOS WARNER BROS. REPORTS ON THE COMPANY'S EARNINGS CALL THAT THE STRIKE SAVED THE COMPANY MORE THAN $100 MILLION SO FAR. WHERE DO THINGS STAND? ARE THERE ANY INDICATIONS THEY COULD ACTUALLY MAKE SOME PROGRESS IN TODAY'S TALKS? >> NO INDICATIONS NOW, BUT WE ARE MONITORING FOR UPDATES. IT IS ENCOURAGING CONSIDERING THEY ARE BACK AT THE NEGOTIATING TABLE 95 DAYS SINCE THEY WENT ON STRIKE. I HAVE TO SHOW YOU THIS VIDEO FROM EARLIER TODAY BECAUSE IT'S VERY TELLING. TAKE A LOOK. THIS IS WHAT WE SOUGHT OUTSIDE IN HOLLYWOOD. HUNDREDS OF ACTORS AND RITERS ON THE PICKET LINES. THEY ARE IN THE STREETS. THEY WERE HELPED BY D.O.T. AND POLICE TO BLOCK OFF SOME LANES, BUT WE HAVEN'T SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE IF AT ALL, AND I WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE FIRST SANCTION JOINT STRIKE WITH BOTH GROUPS OUTSIDE OF NBC UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A MESSAGE TO OUR COMPANY WHEN IT COMES TO THE STUDIOS. THE GROUPS THAT ARE PICKETING SAY THEY FEEL THE CONSTRUCTION THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON OUTSIDE THE STUDIOS HAS IMPEDED THEIR ABILITY TO SHOW UP IN LARGE NUMBERS, SO THEY WANTED TO MAKE A POINT TODAY. I REACHED OUT FOR, AND AND THEY TELL US FROM DAY ONE WE SUPPORTED THE GUILDS RIGHT TO DEMONSTRATE AND HAVE ACTIVELY BEEN LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS TO INCREASE SAFE ACCESS AND WENT ON TO SAY WE HIRED D.O.T. OFFICERS DAILY TO HELP CONTROL TRAFFIC AND STOP CONSTRUCTION IN KEY AREAS AND CONNECT OUR BUSIEST GATE AND ADDED NEW REST AREAS WITH WATER ALL IN SUPPORT OF THOSE DEMONSTRATORS BE GETTING BACK TO THE NEGOTIATION I ACTUALLY SPOKE WITH ONE TODAY AND ASKED IF HE WAS AT ALL OPTIMISTIC THEY COULD REACH A DEAL. YOUR WAS HIS RESPONSE. >> THE ATTITUDE IS CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM. EVENTUALLY WE WILL REACH A DEAL WITH THE STUDIOS BECAUSE IF THEY CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO ENGAGE WITH US AND NEGOTIATE WE WILL REMAIN ON STRIKE. >> WHETHER THE DEAL IS REACHED LATER TODAY OR IN THE COMING WEEKS OR MONTHS REMAINS TO BE SEEN. >> THANK YOU. >>> A NEW JOB'S REPORT TODAY SHOWING HIRING IN THE U.S. IS SLOWING DOWN, BUT STILL STURDY FUELING HOPES THE FED MAY LEAVE INTEREST RATES: AT LEAST AT THE NEXT MEETING. THE ECONOMY ADDED 187,000 JOBS LAST MONTH FOR SLIGHTLY FEWER THAN EXPECTED FOR THE SECOND MONTH IN A ROW. ECONOMISTS SAY IT COULD BE GOOD IS BECAUSE THE OVERALL NUMBER OF LAYOFFS IS GOING DOWN. SIGNALING A STABILIZING JOBS MARKET. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FELL TO 3.5% ARE NEARING THE LOWEST LEVEL IN THE LAST 50 YEARS. WE ARE JOINED NOW TO WALK THROUGH THIS TO HELP US UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS. WHERE DID RECEIVED THE MOST GROWTH? GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT IT MEANS IN THE BIG PICTURE FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN. >> AS IS THE CASE WITH ECONOMIC DATA THERE ARE A LOT OF NUMBERS. 187,000 JOBS ARE HOW MANY WERE ADDED IN THE MONTH OF JULY. A LITTLE BIT OF A SLOWER PACE OR A FASTER PACE THAN THE 185,000 WE SAW IN JUNE. THE NUMBER WE ARE FOCUSING ON IS THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AT 3.5%, WHICH IS HOVERING NEAR OVER 50 YEAR LOWS. THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE. TAKING A LOOK AT THIS DEEP INTO THE FEDERAL RESERVE RAISING INTEREST RATES TO TRY TO SLOW THE ECONOMY TO THE OBLITERATE NOT SPIKING UP. WHERE DO WE SEE THE JOB GAINS IN THE MONTH? TAKE A LOOK AT LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY ADDING 17,000 IN THE MONTH THE RETAIL TRADE ADDING 8.5 THOUSAND JOBS. HEALTHCARE ADDED ABOUT 60,000 JOBS IN THE MONTH, BUT NOT ALL SECTORS WERE BENEFICIARIES. TAKE A LOOK AT PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS SERVICES. WHITE-COLLAR JOBS LIKELY IN CUTICLES CONTRACTED BY ABOUT 8000. SOME WILL HAVE TO BE CONTINUE TO WATCH. >> I KNOW WALL STREET WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS JOBS REPORT. WE KNEW IT COULD MEAN SOMETHINGS ABOUT WHAT THE FED WAS GOING TO DO WITH OVERALL MAJORITY. 85% OF TRADERS EXPECTING CENTRAL BANK TO HOLD RATES STEADY AT THE NEXT ONE COMING UP NEXT MONTH, RIGHT >> YES. THIS COMES AFTER THE MEETING IN JULY WHEN HE RAISED INTEREST RATES BY A QUARTER POINT WHAT THEY REALLY FOCUSED ON IS LOOKING AT THE 187,000 FIGURE THAT I JUST SHOWED YOU. THIS IS THE FIGURE THEY REALLY WANT TO DIAL INTO THEIR 4.4%. THAT IS HOW MUCH MORE PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID IN JULY THIS YEAR COMPARED TO JULY OF LAST YEAR BE THE REASON WHY THEY'RE LOOKING AT THIS IS BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU SOMETHING ABOUT INFLATIONARY PRESSURES. IF THEY ARE PAYING THIS OUT TO THEY PASSED ON TO THE CONSUMER THE MARKET DOES NOT APPEAR SO BECAUSE THE OVERALL RATE OF INFLATION IS 3%. THIS IS GOOD NEWS BUT WE HAVE ONLY SEEN THIS HAPPEN AS OF THE SUMMER. THE AMOUNT E-WALLET IS GROWING BY IS OUTPACING THE PACE OF PRICE INCREASES FOR THINGS AT THE STORE IN TERMS OF THOSE PRICE TAGS >> BREAKING IT DOWN TODAY. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. >>> THE YOU EXPECTED TO DECIDE BY TOMORROW WHETHER TO APPROVE THE FIRST PILL TO TREAT POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION. TAKING IT DAILY FOR TWO WEEKS AND HAS SHOWN PROMISING SIGNS IN CLINICAL TRIALS FOR WOMEN WITH SEVERE DEPRESSION SAY SYMPTOMS IMPROVED AS EARLY AS THREE DAYS AFTER TAKING THE FIRST PILL. THE MEDICATION COULD REALLY INCREASE ACCESS FOR MOTHERS SUFFERING FROM POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION BECAUSE IT COULD BE TAKEN AT HOME FOR THE TREATMENT THAT IS ALREADY IMPROVED IS ACTUALLY AN INJECTION THAT REQUIRES A HOSPITAL STAY, WHICH IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT ONE IN EIGHT WOMEN EXPERIENCED SYMPTOMS OF POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION. WANT TO BRING IN OUR MEDICAL CONTRIBUTOR TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING. GOOD TO SEE YOU. HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW BIG OF A GAME CHANGER THIS IS. >> A HUGE GAME CHANGER BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS TREATMENT THAT ALL WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US IS AN INJECTION. TWO AND HALF DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL. NOT TO MENTION HE DOES NOT LAST PAST 30 DAYS POTENTIALLY. HAVING SOMETHING YOU CAN TAKE AT HOME WHILE TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE NEWBORN. KEEP IN MIND THE SYMPTOMS CAN VARY. ANYTHING FROM ANXIETY OR SLEEPING DISORDERS TO EVEN HAVING THESE FEELINGS TONIGHT HATCHING TO YOUR BABY. THIS IS A MAJOR DEAL TO BE ABLE TO DO IT AND HAVE A TO B TREATMENT. WE KNOW THE SYMPTOMS AT LEAST CAN BE RELIEVED AS SOON AS THREE DAYS. HOPEFULLY LAST EVEN WEEKS AFTER THAT. >> WE SAID THE FDA IS LIKELY GOING TO APPROVE THIS. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE PANEL WOULD BE LOOKING AT? >> THE BIGGEST THING WITH THE FDA IS IS IT SAFE AND EFFECTIVE? WHEN WE LOOK BACK AT THIS EVERY DRUG HAS SIDE EFFECTS IN TERMS OF SAFETY PROFILE. WE USUALLY EXPECT TO SEE THIS. THAT IS THE NAME OF THE ORAL PILL . THE LIKE POTENTIALLY NAUSEA OR DIZZINESS. ALL OF THOSE SIDE EFFECTS ARE WEIGHT AGAINST THE BENEFITS THEY CAN PROVIDE. IS IT EFFECTIVE? WE JUST TALKED ABOUT HOW IN THE TRIALS WE SAW IMPROVEMEN >>> EMERGENCY ROOMS IN MULTIPLE STATES BEEN FORCED TO SHUT DOWN. WE WILL TELL YOU WHY. >>> LEARNING HOW CLOSE THESE PLANS ALWAYS CAME TO DISASTER. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THE PHOTOS YOU SEE HERE. A SCREEN GRAB FROM A VIDEO INSIDE A JETBLUE COCKPIT AS THE PLANE WAS LANDING IN BOSTON IN FEBRUARY. THEY CIRCLED AROUND THE AIRPORT. THEY SAY THEIR PRIVATE PLAN TOOK OFF WITHOUT PERMISSION AND THE RUNWAYS INTERSECT. THIS COMES AS WE HAVE SEEN OTHER TROUBLING FLIGHT ISSUES THIS SUMMER. A FEW DAYS AGO PASSENGERS ON A DELTA AIRLINES PLANE WERE FORCED TO EXIT ON THE EMERGENCY SLIDES AFTER THE TIRE POPPED WHEN IT LANDED. AND THEN THERE WAS THIS SCENE ALSO HAD A BOSTON AIRPORT WHERE A UNITED PLANE CLIPPED THE WING OF A DELTA PLANE ON THE TARMAC TOOK SOME OF THE CLOSE CALLS ON RUNWAYS AND IN THE SKIES WE HAVE BEEN SEEING AROUND THE COUNTRY AS OF LATE. LET'S BRING AND STEVE PATTERSON WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT CLOSE CALL, AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT? >> A CLOSE CALL. UNBELIEVABLE STORY. THIS IS FEBRUARY 27 BE GETTING THE FINAL REPORT NOW. AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL AND FROM THE REPORT THE 63-YEAR-OLD PILOT IS KIND OF IN THE FINAL PROCESS BEFORE HE IS GETTING LINED UP ON THE RUNWAY. THAT IS WHAT HE IS CLEARED FOR. TALKING TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TELLING HIM BASICALLY YOU CAN TAKE YOUR PLANE OUT OR GET LINED UP. SOMEHOW SOMEWAY UNICENTER WORDS THAT AS YOU ARE CLEARED TO TAKE OFF WHEN CLEARLY HE WASN'T, AND HE ADMITS THAT. HE TAKES OFF LEADING TO THIS CLOSE CALL BLOCKING THE RUNWAY LEADING TO ALMOST A 30 FOOT DANGER ZONE AREA WHERE THANKFULLY THE JETBLUE PILOT WAS ABLE TO EXECUTE A MANEUVER TO PULL UP SUDDENLY, SO THEY DO NOT COLLIDE WITH EACH OTHER. THE PILOT DID REACH OUT TO THE NTSB. HE SENT THEM A STATEMENT THAT I CAN READ TO YOU. HE SAID THIS. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TO ME DURING THE CLEARANCE. THE ONLY THING THAT COMES TO MIND IS THAT THE CORE TEMPERATURE IN BOSTON AFFECTED ME THAT I WAS NOT FEELING COMPLETELY WELL AND HAD A STUFFED NOSE. MY APOLOGIES. THIS PILOT DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL HE WAS CLEARED TO LAND IN FORT LAUDERDALE WHERE THE FLIGHT DESTINATION WAS. HAD NOT EVEN KNOWN THAT HE HAD CAUSED THIS SITUATION. OBVIOUSLY VERY APOLOGETIC AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD IF THERE WILL BE DISCIPLINARY ACTION. THIS IS A PART OF A LARGER STUDY AND INVESTIGATION BY THE FLIGHT AGENCIES LOOKING AT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING SO OFTEN BE ONE OF THE BIG THEORIES IS THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH TURNOVER IN THE TRAFFIC ONTROL CENTER AS FAR AS PILOTS GO AND COPILOTS AND STAFF. SINCE THE PANDEMIC. AND LOT OF THEM ARE COMING BACK AND CYCLED OUT. A LOT OF RETIRED PICKING MAYBE LEADING TO MORE OF THESE SITUATIONS. SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON, BUT THANKFULLY THIS WAS A CLOSE CALL.>> SOME REAL FOOD FOR THOUGHT THOUGH ABOUT WHO IS FLYING AND DIRECTING, AND HOW TO MAKE SURE THINGS ARE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. >>> LET'S GET YOU OVER TO THE FIVE THINGS OUR TEAM THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TONIGHT. NUMBER ONE. POLICE SOURCES SAY A SUSPECT WAS ARRESTED IN THE DEATH HERE OF A GAME AND WHO WAS STABBED TO DEATH AT A GAS STATION IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK LAST WEEKEND AND THEY SAID THE SUSPECT TURNED HIMSELF IN AT A POLICE STATION IN NEW YORK. AND THE SKATERS ARE STILL DETERMINING WHETHER THIS WAS A HATE CRIME. >>> MORE THAN 40 PEOPLE SAYING ACCOUNTS WERE MYSTERIOUSLY OPENED IN THEIR NAMES AT WELLS FARGO INCLUDING ONE MAN WHO IS SUING THE COMPANY NOW FOR STEALING HIS PRIVATE INFORMATION SAYING HE NEVER EVEN HAD A WELLS FARGO ACCOUNT BUT DISCOVERED ONE REGISTERED TO HIM WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN IT. A WELLS FARGO SPOKESPERSON DENIED ALLEGATIONS OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY >>> DEFENSE ATTORNEYS FOR THE SUSPECTS CHARGED WITH KILLING FOR UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO STUDENTS SAY THEIR CLIENT WAS OUT DRIVING ALONE AROUND THE TIME OF THE MURDERS. THEY SAY GOING ON NIGHTTIME DRIVES IS JUST SOMETHING HE LIKES TO DO AND THAT >>> YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER HER, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FLU SHOT CHEERLEADER? THE 2000 AND MEDIA SENSATION AND EARLY VIRAL. >> SHE CLAIMED SHE HAD BEEN INJURED BY A SEASONAL FLU SHOT, BUT IT CAUSED A TWISTING JERK ABOUT THE DISPUTE WHEN SHE RAN OR WENT BACKWARDS. THE ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT WAS STRUGGLING, BUT SAW AN OPPORTUNITY AND EMBRACED HER AS THE NEW POSTER GIRL. THEY DISAPPEARED. WHEN SHE WAS OUTED AS A SUPPOSEDLY FAKE OR. SPIN FOR YOU FAKING IT? >> DEFINITELY NOT. I KNOW THE SYMPTOMS LOOK BIZARRE. >> 14 YEARS LATER SHE IS SPEAKING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE ORDEAL. MOTIVATED BY THE RISE IN ANTI- VAXERS IN A POST PANDEMIC WORLD. AND HOPING TO WARN OTHERS WHO MAY GET CAUGHT UP IN WHAT SHE CALLED THE ANTI-VACCINE PR MACHINE. >> AT THE END OF THE DAY THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST GOING TO USE YOU. >> COVID-19 WAS NOT ON ANYBODY'S MINDS AND 12,009, BUT THE COUNTRY WAS IN THE GRIPS OF A DIFFERENT PANDEMIC. SPEED WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE SWINE FLU VIRUS. >> WHILE HEALTH OFFICIALS ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO GET THE VACCINE A GROUP OF ACTIVISTS LED BY AN ACTRESS WAS DOING THE OPPOSITE. SPINNER WITHOUT A DOUBT I BELIEVE VACCINATIONS TRIGGERED THE AUTISM. I THINK THEY NEED TO WAKE UP AND STOP HURTING OUR KIDS. >> THEY WERE MAKING THE ROUNDS. >> ONE OF THE MOST TALKED ABOUT STORIES WE HAVE EVER HAD ON "INSIDE EDITION." >> A PRETTY CHEERLEADER AMBASSADOR STRANGELY DISABLED BY A VACCINE WAS'S RATINGS GOLD APPEAR HER ORGANIZATION WANTED TO USE IT TO BRING ATTENTION TO THEIR CAUSE. A CRUSADE SPREADING THE DISPROVEN THEORIES THAT VACCINES CAUSED AUTISM AND THAT UNCONVENTIONAL TREATMENTS COULD CURATE. >> I WAS YOUNG AND NEEDED HELP. >> THE FOOTAGE WAS LEFT WITH DESIRIE, WHO SHARED IT WITH NBC NEWS. THEY TOOK HER THERE. A CONTROVERSIAL OSTEOPATH POPULAR FOR THE ADVERTISED WORKER COWS THAT COULD SUPPOSEDLY DETOX PATIENTS. THE UNCONVENTIONAL TREATMENTS SEEMED TO ALLEVIATE THE SYMPTOMS. AT LEAST INITIALLY. THE ANTI-VAX AND ACTIVISTS CLAIMED VICTORY AND IN THE GENERATION RESCUE FOOTAGE THEY STRATEGIZED ABOUT HER FUTURE. EVEN CALLING HER THE NEXT JENNY McCARTHY. >> SHE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE. SHE WILL MAKE A HUGE RUCKUS. >> BACK HOME WHEN THE CAMERAS WERE OFF SHE STILL FELT SICK. >> WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT. NO OTHER OPTION. OF COURSE HE WILL TURN TO ANYBODY WHO WOULD COME TO YOU AND SAY WE CAN HELP YOU. I JUST DID NOT REALIZE WHAT THE COST WAS. >> WE REACHED OUT FOR COMMENT AND DID NOT HEAR BACK. FORMER GENEROUS CAN RESCUE PRESIDENT TOLD US VIA TEXT HE HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SPACE FOR A LONG TIME AND DID NOT RESPOND TO FURTHER QUESTIONS. THE DOCTOR DIED IN MAY.'S FAMILY DID NOT RESPOND TO REQUESTS FOR COMMENT AND ACCORDING TO THE MEDICAL RECORDS SHE CONTINUE TO SEEK TREATMENT FOR HER CONDITION, BUT THEN A SERIES OF NEW REPORTS CAST DOUBT ON HER STORY P1 FROM "INSIDE EDITION" IT SHOWED HER PLAYING WITH HER DOGS WALKING NORMALLY AND DRIVING. >> IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE YOU MADE A COMPLETE RECOVERY. >> I STILL HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES. >> MUCH OF THE COUNTRY HAD DECIDED IT SEEMED THAT THE WHOLE THING HAD BEEN A HOAX AND THEY DROPPED HER. >> I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT I DID NOT FAKE AN ILLNESS. I AM NOT A SCAMMER. I AM NOT A HOAX OR ANTI- VACCINE. I AM NOT A LIAR. >> BY THEN THE IMPACT WAS OUT OF HER CONTROL. DOCTORS IN PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS AT THE TIME WARNED ABOUT THE POWER OF A STORY LIKE HERS. THIS DOCTOR WAS THE DIRECTOR OF THE VACCINE EDUCATION CENTER AT PHILADELPHIA'S CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND DISCUSSED ONE ACCOUNT OF THE VACCINE HESITANCY IN AN INTERVIEW. >> I SPOKE RECENTLY AT A HIGH SCHOOL NEAR HERE AT ABOUT 200 PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE. I ASKED HOW MANY HAD GOTTEN THE VACCINE AND BY HALF RAISED THEIR HANDS. THE HALF THAT DIDN'T SAY THEY DID NOT GET IT BECAUSE ON YOUTUBE THEY SAW A REDSKINS CHEERLEADER SAID THAT SHE HAD GOTTEN THE VACCINE AND HAD A SO- CALLED REACTION. >> NOW ALMOST A DECADE AND A HALF LATER HE SAYS THEY STILL USE PERSONAL ANECDOTES TO BOOST THEIR CLAIMS WHETHER THEY ARE TRUE OR NOT. >> WE ARE HUMAN COMPELLED BY STORIES. NOT STATISTICS OR DATA. IF YOU DO STUDIES SHOWING THE VACCINE DOES NOT CAUSE WHAT YOU ARE SEEING WITH HERTHAT IS NOT NEARLY AS POWERFUL AS HER SAYING THAT IT DID. >> SHE WAS PULLED INTO THE WORLD WHEN BACK THEN. SHE NOW REGRETS HER IMPACT. SKIMMING IF I CAUSED ANYONE TO NOT RECEIVE A VACCINE OR PUT THEIR CHILDREN AT RISK OR THEMSELVES AT RISK I DO FEEL AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF GUILT FOR THAT, BUT I REALLY HOPE AND PRAY THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. >> SHE SAYS HER MOMENT IN THE ANTI-VAX AND SPOTLIGHT HAS COST HER JOBS, RELATIONSHIPS, AND HER REPUTATION, AND SHE NO LONGER BELIEVES A VACCINE IS WHAT CAUSED HER HEALTH PROBLEMS. >> I THINK I WAS LREADY SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF THIS AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE. JUST THAT ALL OF THESE VARIABLES CAME TOGETHER IN A PERFECT STORM. JUST THE TIMING LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A VACCINE BUT IT WAS NOT. IT WAS CORRELATION NOT CAUSATION. >> SHE TURNED TOWARD SCIENCE BE GRADUATED IN 2019 FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA IRVINE WITH A BACHELORS DEGREE IN BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. WHEN THE CODE VACCINE BECAME AVAILABLE SHE TOOK IT AND A BOOSTER, BUT THE PANDEMIC BROUGHT OUT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE LIKE HER POSTING UNVERIFIED ACCOUNTS OF STRANGE REACTIONS ARE TREATED THEY SAID TO THE VACCINES. GENERATION RESCUE SHUT DOWN IN 2019, BUT NEW LEADERS AND ORGANIZATIONS TOOK ITS PLACE THIS TIME STOKING FEARS OVER COVID VACCINES. NOW SHE HOPES SHE CAN SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON VACCINES AND WARNED OTHERS FROM JOINING THE ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT. >> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO GET WRAPPED INTO THIS INDUSTRY? >> I WOULD TELL THEM TO RUN BECAUSE THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THAT. YOU ARE GOING TO BE USED. >> >>> ONE OF THE DEADLIEST SCHOOL SHOOTINGS IN U.S. HISTORY. TALKING ABOUT THE PARKLAND, FLORIDA SCHOOL SHOOTING THAT WAS REENACTED TODAY AS A PART OF A CIVIL LAWSUIT WROUGHT BY THE FAMILIES OF SOME OF THE VICTIMS. BALLISTICS EXPERTS FIRED UP TO 139 SHOTS AT THE SCHOOL TODAY DURING THE REENACTMENT OF THE 2018 TRAGEDY. TECHNICIANS RECORDED THE SOUND OF THE GUNFIRE TO TRY TO CAPTURE WHAT THE OFFICER HEARD DURING THE SIX MINUTE ATTACK. THE FAMILIES ARE ACCUSING HIM OF FAILING TO PROTECT THEIR LOVED ONES AND ARE SEEKING UNSPECIFIED DAMAGES BUT HE WAS ACQUITTED IN JUNE OF FELONY CHILD NEGLECT FOR FAILING TO ACT DURING THE SHOOTING PROVISIONING LEFT 17 PEOPLE DEAD THEIR 14 STUDENTS AND THREE STAFF MEMBERS. THE SHOOTER WAS A FORMER STUDENT WAS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON IN 2021.>> FOR ALL DANA THERE HAS BEEN A REENACTMENT GOING ON OUTSIDE OF MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL WHERE I AM STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THAT HAS BEEN CLOSE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. LOOK AT THE POLICE LACE BEHIND ME. THERE JUST NOW OPEN THINGS UP, BUT THE REAL ISSUE HERE. THERE ARE TWO THINGS GOING ON UNRELATED. ONE OF THEM THE FACT THE REENACTMENT CONTAINED LIVE AMMUNITION BEING USED ON AN AR 15 TYPE OF RIFLE TO THE SAME KIND THE SHOOTER USED ON THE TRAGIC DAY 2018. WHY ARE DOING THIS? IT IS BECAUSE OF A CIVIL LAWSUIT AGAINST SCOTT PETERSON WHO IS THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER WHO WAS FOUND NOT TO BE GUILTY OF FELONY CHILD NEGLECT, BUT THE PARENTS STILL BELIEVE HE SHOWED COWARDICE AND DID NOT STEP INTO THE BUILDING AS THE KIDS WERE BEING KILLED AND THEY WANT HIM TO PAY LITERALLY FOR THAT. THE QUESTION BECOMES WHY IS THIS STILL GOING ON? BECAUSE IT IS STILL A CRIME SCENE AND THEY'RE STILL GATHERING THE REENACTMENT AND SIMULATION TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER OR NOT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HEAR WHERE THE SHOTS WERE COMING FROM. HE SAID HE COULD NOT TELL THAT DAY. THE THING IS THAT YOU HAVE 600 TO 1000 KIDS PILING OUT. NONE OF THAT WAS THERE TODAY, SO IT REALLY DOES BEG THE QUESTION WOULD THIS HAVE BEEN AN ACCURATE SIMULATION? AT THE SAME TIME AN EXTRAORDINARY EVENT TODAY WITH NINE DELEGATES WERE MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION FROM FLORIDA, CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, AND PENNSYLVANIA TOURED THE HALLWAYS. IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME RIGHT NOW AS IT DID FIVE AND HALF YEARS AGO, WHICH IS TO SAY THERE ARE BLOODSTAINS ALL OVER THE HALLWAYS. YOU HAVE BULLET HOLES AND ALSO SHATTERED GLASS, AND THE SIGNS WHERE THEY TRIED TO GO TO AND FROM THE THIRD FLOOR TO SHOOT OUTSIDE. HE DID NOT PENETRATE BECAUSE OF THE HURRICANE FORCE WINDOWS. THESE ARE THE CONDITIONS LAWMAKERS ARE GOING IN AND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF THE TRAGEDY AND ALSO WHAT MORE THEY CAN DO BECAUSE FLORIDA DID LEAD THE WAY WHEN IT CAME TO A REFORMED PACKAGE WEATHER IS RED FLAG LAW'S OR LONG-RANGE GUNS TO 21 YEARS OLD. OTHER THINGS AROUND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND COORDINATION BETWEEN AGENCIES THAT COMES TO THREAT ASSESSMENT TO TRY TO EXPORT THOSE PLANS THAT HAVE ALREADY WORKED IN FLORIDA THROUGHOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET LAWMAKERS IN CONGRESS TO ACT AS WELL. WILL THAT HAPPEN? THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. BACK TO YOU. >>> NBC NEWS COVERED HUNDREDS OF STORIES EVERY DAY. BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT POSSIBLY READ OR LISTEN TO ALL OF THEM OUR BUREAUS HAVE DONE IT FOR YOU. THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON. OUT OF THE MIDWEST BUREAU. MUST DECORATED GYMNAST EVER IS BACK. SET TO COMPETE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS TOMORROW IN ILLINOIS. THIS IS A QUALIFYING ME FOR THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. THE LAST TIME SHE COMPETED WAS AT THE TOKYO OLYMPICS WHERE SHE WON TWO METALS AND THEN WITHDREW TO FOCUS ON HER MENTAL HEALTH. MANY SEE IT AS HER FIRST STEP TOWARDS COMPETING IN THE 2024 OLYMPICS. >>> ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT A THEME PARK. THIS ROLLER COASTER STOPPED MID TRACK RIGHT BEFORE THE BIG DROP JUST BELOW THE HILL. THEY HAD TO GET OUT OF THE COASTER AND WALKED DOWN A BUNCH OF STEPS. THEY SAY THERE WAS A MECHANICAL ISSUE AND EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO GET DOWN SAFELY. >>> AN 87-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FOUGHT >>> THE ROBOT REVOLUTION IS HERE, AND WITH IT ARE FEARS THAT AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGY WILL TAKE AWAY JOBS FROM MILLIONS OF WORKING HUMANS. THE COMPANIES AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS REVOLUTION ARGUE THE OPPOSITE:THAT THEIR TECHNOLOGY WILL ONLY CREATE JOBS FOR HUMANS AND BETTER JOBS AT THAT. COMPANY IS LIKE TRIPOLI ARE ALREADY USING THIS SORT OF TECHNOLOGY. THIS ROBOT DEVICE RATE OR HOPES TO PAIR THE TRADEMARK WALK MIGHT BE REMOVING IT. EVEN SLICING IT IN THAT HUMAN EMPLOYEE JUMPS IN TO FINISH THE JOB. NOT JUST FOOD PREP. ADVOCATES OF ROBOT TECH SAY THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS WITH A BIG OPPORTUNITY TO TURN DELIVERY DRIVERS INTO DRONE PILOTS AND ROBOT TECHNICIANS. YOU'RE LOOKING AT A COMPANY'S TECH THAT DOES JUST THAT. KATE ROGERS IS FOLLOWING THE STORY AND JOINS US NOW FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO AREA. YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THE COMPANY SEEING HOW THEY ARE OPERATING IN WHAT THEY ARE DOING BUT WHAT IS THEIR PLAN TO REVOLUTIONIZE HOW WE WORK?>> HELLO. WE ARE HERE IN THE COMPANY IS USING ROBOTICS TO CHANGE THE WAY DELIVERIES ARE MADE SAYING TO MAKE THEM BOTH MORE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. WORKERS HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO WORKING ON PARTS FOR THE FLEET OF AUTONOMOUS DELIVERY DRONES THAT HAVE DELIVERED EVERYTHING FROM COVID VACCINES TO HOSPITALS TO e-COMMERCE PACKAGES FOR CUSTOMERS OF WALMART. TAKE A LISTEN TO THE COMPANY'S CEO. >>> BEFORE WE WERE USING A HUMAN TO DO ONE DELIVERY AT A TIME NOW WE ARE TRAINING THE HUMAN TO MAINTAIN AND MANAGE A FLEET OF ROBOTS SO THE HUMAN CAN NOW DO 50 DELIVERIES PER HOUR RATHER THAN FIVE. THAT ENABLES US TO PAY THE HUMAN A LOT MORE. >> SUPPLY AND IS LOOKING TO ADD 100 WORKERS TO THE RANKS FOCUSING ON ROBOTICS NOT JUST MAKING THEM, BUT ALSO RUNNING ALTHOUGH THE LOGISTICS BECAUSE IT HAS ALSO DONE AND MANAGED IN- HOUSE BY THEIR TEAM. CREATING MANY JOBS ON THAT FRONT AS THEY LOOK TO CHANGE THE WAY THESE DELIVERIES ARE MADE. BACK TO YOU. >> AT THE SAME TIME WE TALKED TO REGULAR FOLKS WHO ARE A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE LONG- TERM EFFECTS. I GET THAT THEY WILL BE MORE EFFICIENT IN THIS WAY. MAYBE EVEN SAVE MONEY AND HIRE FOLKS, BUT HOW DOES THIS REALLY BENEFIT THE WORKERS AND NOT JUST EVENTUALLY REPLACE THEM LIKE THEY ARE OTHER WORKERS WHILE THIS IS BEING DEVELOPED? >> THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT CERTAIN JOBS WILL BE DISPLACED BY TECHNOLOGY, BUT ONE EXAMPLE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT IN THE INTRO. THEY HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY CHALLENGED IN RETAINING WORKERS TO ITS REINS BECAUSE IT IS A TOUGH LABOR MARKET RIGHT NOW. THIS IS ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW THEIR TESTING OUT WAYS TO MAKE THIS WORK A LITTLE BIT BETTER FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES. IT WILL PEEL AND PREP THEM TO BE MADE INTO ONE THAT IS A REPETITIVE TASK THAT CAN BE VERY TIME-CONSUMING AND ALSO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS THE BOTS. THERE IS A TALENT SHORTAGE THERE. TALENT ON BOTH ENDS, LOOKING TO JUMP IN AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR COMPANIES TO SPEED THINGS UP AND HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR GUESTS. >> KATE ROGERS IN SAN FRANCISCO, THANK YOU. >>> THAT IS A WRAP FOR THIS HOUR. OUR COVERAGE PICKS UP RIGHT NOW. >>> TONIGHT WE ARE COMING ON THE AIR WITH POLICE REVEALING THE IDENTITY OF ONE OF THE GILGO BEACH MURDER VICTIMS. HOW THIS FITS INTO THE PATTERN OF THESE SERIAL KILLINGS THAT IS STILL NOT FULLY SOLVED AFTER DECADES. >>> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKING HIS FIRST CAMPAIGN STOP SINCE BEING ARRAIGNED ON FEDERAL CHARGES RELATED TO EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION. WHAT THIS UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT MEANS FOR HIS UPCOMING POLITICAL CALENDAR. >>> THE FDA IS THAT TO MAKE A BIG DECISION ON WHAT COULD BE A GROUNDBREAKING DRUG TO TREAT POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION. WE HAVE A DOCTOR HERE TO BREAK DOWN HOW MUCH OF A GAME CHANGER THIS PILL COULD BE FOR PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH THAT ILLNESS. >>> CHAOS IN NEW YORK CITY AFTER A POPULAR TWITCH STREAMER'S GIVEAWAY LEADS TO SOME CROWDS CLASHING WITH POLICE. WE ARE ON THE GROUND WITH THE LATEST FOR YOU. >>> RIDERS ARE BACK AT THE NEGOTIATING TABLE WITH SOME OF HOLLYWOOD'S BIGGEST STUDIOS. WHERE THE WRITERS GUILD IS NOT EXPECTING ANY MAJOR BREAKTHROUGHS NEARLY 100 DAYS AFTER THEY WALKED OFF THE JOB. >>> I AM ELLEN GILCHRIST. POLICE ON LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK ARE REVEALING NEW DETAILS ABOUT ONE OF THE GILGO BEACH BEACH MURDER VICTIMS 27 YEARS AFTER SHE WENT MISSING. TO SUFFOLK COUNTY DA THING TODAY AND A NEWS CONFERENCE JANE DOE NUMBER SEVEN YOU SEE HERE WAS ONE OF 11 BODIES FOUND NEAR GO-GO BEACH BETWEEN 2010 AND 2011. HER DISAPPEARANCE DATES BACK FARTHER THAN THAT, 15 YEARS EARLIER, POLICE FOUND OTHER REMAINS OF HER SMILES AWAY AT A PARK ON LONG ISLAND. LISTEN. >> ON APRIL 20th, 1996, FEMALE REMAINS CONSISTING OF A LEG AND FEET WERE FOUND ON THE BASE SIDE OF FIRE ISLAND. APPROXIMATELY 15 YEARS LATER ON APRIL 11th, 2011, ADDITIONAL REMAINS CONSISTING OF A SKULL WERE DISCOVERED AT THE BEACH IN NASSAU COUNTY. >> KAREN VERGATA WENT MISSING SOMETIME AROUND VALENTINE'S DAY, 1996. SHE WAS 34 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME AND LIVING IN MANHATTAN. IT IS THE LATEST BREAK IN A CASE THAT RAN COLD FOR YEARS. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER AFTER A DECADE OF SEARCHING, POLICE CHARGED REX HEUERMANN LAST MONTH IN THREE OF THE GILGO BEACH MURDERS. HE IS PLEADING NOT GUILTY THIS POINT. OFFICIALS ARE NOT SAYING WHETHER THEY HAVE ANY SUSPECTS IN KAREN VERGATA'S DISAPPEARANCE AND HAVE NOT FILED CHARGES IN HER CASE. WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS DEMANDING MORE DNA EVIDENCE FROM REX HEUERMANN TO PROVE HIS CONNECTION TO THE OVERALL GILGO BEACH CRIME SCENE. STEPHANIE GOSK JOINS ME NOW. SHE HAS BEEN TRACKING THE STORY FROM THE BEGINNING. TALK TO US ABOUT HOW INVESTIGATORS ENDED UP IDENTIFYING KAREN VERGATA ALL THESE YEARS LATER AND WHY IT TOOK SO LONG? >> I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THIS CASE HAS REALLY GONE COLD. THE OVERALL GARRETT HAAKE MURDER CASE HAD GONE COLD UNTIL A NEW DA AND POLICE COMMISSIONER WERE PUT TOGETHER, THEY SAID LET'S START THIS TASK FORCE, LET'S SOLVE THIS CASE, LET'S LOOK AT EVERY BIT OF EVIDENCE AND SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH. THAT IS WHY REX HEUERMANN IS IN JAIL RIGHT NOW AWAITING TRIAL ON THREE MURDER CHARGES. THE IDENTIFICATION TODAY IS NOT PART OF THOSE CHARGES. HE HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED OF ANY CONNECTION TO KAREN VERGATA AT ALL. WE DID LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT KAREN VERGATA TODAY, SHE SAID SHE WAS 34 YEARS OLD, THAT SHE WORKED AS AN ESCORT AS WELL AND THAT'S THE WAY THEY IDENTIFIED HER , THEY USED GENEALOGY, REALLY, LARGE PUBLIC DNA DATABASE THAT IS OUT THERE, TO TRACK DOWN TO FBI INVESTIGATORS THAT WOULD BE HER FAMILY, THEY THEN GOT DNA SWABS, THEY COMPARED THE DNA, AND THERE WAS A MATCH. WHAT IS REALLY STRIKING ABOUT HER CASE, HOWEVER, IS THE FACT, AND YOU POINTED THIS OUT, THAT HER REMAINS WERE FIRST DISCOVERED IN 1996 AND THEY WERE PARTIAL REMAINS. HER SKULL WAS FOUND FOUR MILES FROM GILGO BEACH. I WENT OUT THERE TODAY AND I HAVE GOT TO TELL YOU, IT IS CLOSE TO GILGO BEACH, NOT CLOSE TO THE WATER WHERE THEY FOUND THEM, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE HAD TO DO LIBERALLY PUT THEM THERE. WE HAVE NO NSWERS FROM INVESTIGATORS ON HOW THE REMAINS WERE SEPARATED AND SO FAR APART FROM EACH OTHER. >> I WANT TO ASK YOU MORE ABOUT WHAT WE DO KNOW HERE, THAT IS THAT REX HEUERMANN HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH HIM OF THESE MURDERS IN THAT AREA. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HIS NEXT HEARING SET FOR LATE SEPTEMBER? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN THIS CASE AND THE INVESTIGATION? >> AS THE PROSECUTOR POINTED OUT THIS WEEK, THERE IS MOUNTAINS OF EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A DECADE. IT IS A LARGE DISCOVERY PROCESS, SOMETHING LIKE TWO DRIVES OR FOUR DRIVES WITH EIGHT TERABYTES OF INFORMATION. IS A TON OF INFORMATION HAS TO BE PROCESSED AND LOOKED AT SO IT IS LIKELY THE CASE, THE TRIAL WILL NOT HAPPEN UNTIL NEXT YEAR. YOU ALSO HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER CHARGES. THE BODIES THAT WERE DISCOVERED ON GILGO BEACH, THERE WERE FOUR OF THEM , HUMANS HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH THREE MURDERS OUT OF THOSE ORDERS. THE PROSECUTOR SAID THEY HAVE SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE CONNECTING HIM WITH THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE FOURTH VICTIM IN THAT BUNCH THAT WAS DISCOVERED OVER A DECADE AGO. THERE COULD BE CHARGERS FULLY -- FURTHER COMPLICATING THE TRIAL PROCESS. >>> IN JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GOING TO MAKE HIS FIRST APPEARANCE BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AFTER BEING ARRAIGNED AND PLEADING NOT GUILTY TO CHARGES RELATED TO TRYING TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION. IN ALABAMA TONIGHT, HE GOT TO SPEAK AT A REPUBLICAN DINNER AS THE KENAI SPEAKER. -- KEYNOTE SPEAKER. NEW POLLING HAS THE FORMER PRESIDENT HOLDING A BIG LEAD OVER HIS OPPONENTS IN A KEY STATE, IOWA. TRUMP POLLING AT 44% WITH RON DESANTIS, FLORIDA GOVERNOR, AT 22% IN IOWA, HOME TO THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CAUCUS. LET'S TURN TO GARRETT HAAKE NOW. THIS POLL HAPPENED BEFORE YESTERDAY'S AGREEMENT BUT THE REALITY AT THIS POINT AS WE HAVE SEEN THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S LEGAL ISSUES MAKE HIM MORE POPULAR WITH SOME REPUBLICAN VOTERS. I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE YESTERDAY WHERE YOU AND I BOTH WERE CLAIM THAT HE IS EVEN MORE POPULAR NOW, WE LOVE HIM EVEN MORE, YOU'RE HELPING THE TRUNK CAUSE HERE. WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING TONIGHT? >> YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT, I EXPECT THE FORMER PRESIDENT -- THESE ARE THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ON ANY NUMBER OF PRESIDENT WILL CANDIDATES IN ANY NUMBER OF CYCLES THAT HAVE SO FAR ONLY MADE DONALD TRUMP STRONGER, AT LEAST IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY. THE FACT HE HAS SUCCESSFULLY GOTTEN THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY SINGING FROM THE SAME HYMNAL, THIS IS A WEAPON IS DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE GOING AFTER HIM SPECIFICALLY, IT HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR HIS RIVALS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET HIS ARM AROUND HOW TO ATTACK HIM OR EVEN DRAW CONTRAST WITH HIM. WANT TO PLAY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT RON DESANTIS SAID TODAY WHEN HE WAS ASKED WHETHER OR NOT HE THOUGHT THE 2020 ELECTION WAS COLD STOLEN. YOU CAN HEAR SOME CRITICISM OF DONALD TRUMP, LISTEN TO THIS. >> I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES, THE ELECTION IS WHAT IT IS, ALL THOSE THEORIES THAT WERE PUT OUT DID NOT PROVE TO BE TRUE BUT WHAT I HAVE ALSO SAID IS THE WAY YOU CONDUCT A GOOD ELECTION THAT PEOPLE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN, YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE RULES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME. >> THAT IS WHAT AMOUNTS TO A BREAK FROM DONALD TRUMP TO SOME CONTRAST WITH DONALD TRUMP ON WHETHER OR NOT AN ELECTION WAS STOLEN AND FEDERAL CHARGES BASICALLY AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT, FOR HIS EFFORTS ON IT WERE APPROPRIATED. THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE RIVAL TO DONALD TRUMP. WHEN YOU LOOK INTO THE POLLING YOU SEE WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM. IN THE SAME POLE, THERE IS BACK AND FORTH ABOUT THE QUESTION OF, WOULD YOU STILL SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP IF HE IS CONVICTED OF A FELONY? WE LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS, 45% OF REPUBLICANS SAID THEY WOULD NOT VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP IF HE WAS CONVICTED, 35% SAID THEY WOULD. 30 PERCENT WHEN THE PRIMARIES, THAT IS THE PROBLEM FOR THE REST OF THESE REPUBLICANS. >> THEN THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER CASE HERE, RIGHT? ANY DAY NOW WE EXPECT THE DAY NOW IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA WILL ANNOUNCE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IF HE WILL CHARGE THE PRESIDENT WITH EFFORTS IN THAT STATE TO OVERTURN ELECTION RESULTS, AT THIS POINT DO WE HAVE A SENSE OF HOW SOON WE MIGHT GET THAT DECISION, HOW SERIOUS ANY POTENTIAL CHARGES MIGHT BE WHEN YOU COMPARE THEM TO THE OTHER CHARGES THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THERE? >> WE ARE IN THE WINDOW RIGHT NOW WHERE IT COULD HAPPEN NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER, THAT IS THE TIMEFRAME WHERE WE EXPECT TO SEE SOME KIND OF DECISION MADE ON THIS EITHER WAY. THE BROAD-SPECTRUM CHARGES ARE THE SAME BUT THE DATA POINTS ARE MORE SPECIFIC TO GEORGIA. I THINK WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT THIS CASE, TWO THINGS, NUMBER ONE IT HAS PROBABLY THE SINGLE MOST FAMOUS PIECE OF EVIDENCE INVOLVING 2020 ELECTION INTERFERENCE CLAIMS. THAT IS A CALL TO THE GEORGIA SECRETARY OF STATE WHERE DONALD TRUMP SAYS I NEED YOU TO FIND THESE EXTRA VOTES. THE OTHER THING THAT IS DIFFERENT IS YOU WILL LIKELY SEE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DEFENDANTS IN THIS CASE. THIS IS THE PROSECUTOR, AN EXPERT AT RICO CASES OR BROAD CORRUPTION CASES, WE AREN'T EXPECTED TO SEE JUST DONALD TRUMP IT GETS INDICTED IN GEORGIA IF THERE ARE INDICTMENTS IN GEORGIA. >> GARRETT HAAKE, THANK YOU. >>> TONIGHT, POLICE NOW GETTING A CHAOTIC SCENE UNDERCONTROL IN MANHATTAN AFTER A MASSIVE CROWD STARTED GETTING UNRULY DURING A GIVEAWAY EVENT. THE SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE OR HOSTING THAT EVENED, NOW IN POLICE CUSTODY. YOU ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF THE AFTERMATH OF WHAT WENT ON IN UNION SQUARE. YOU SEE IT ALL UNFOLDING HERE, THIS IS EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON, SWARMS OF PEOPLE PUSHING, SHOVING EACH OTHER, STANDING ON CARS AND TRUCKS. TAXIS, THROWING THINGS, WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS TO GET OUT OF CONTROL LIKE THIS BUT POLICE SAY HE DID NOT HAVE A PERMIT FOR AN EVENT OF THIS NATURE. THAT SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE. THOUSANDS OF OFFICERS CALLED INTO THIS SCENE. W NBC REPORTING A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT HURT, NOTHING SERIOUSLY, NO ONE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. PEOPLE GATHERING TODAY FOR A BIG GIVEAWAY EVENT HOSTED BY HE HAS SOMETHING LIKE 6 1/2 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON TWITCH AND ANOTHER 4 MILLION ON YOUTUBE. THIS IS NOW DELETED, A DELETED STORY THAT HE POSTED EARLIER ABOUT THE EVENT, YOU SEE IT HERE, REPORTEDLY GOING TO BE A GIVEAWAY OF A BUNCH OF STUFF, GAMING CONSOLES, GIFT CARDS, RON ALLEN IS JOINING ME NOW, HE HAS MADE HIS WAY TO THE SCENE THERE TOWARD LOWER MANHATTAN. IT SEEMS LIKE POLICE HAS SORTED OUT THE SITUATION, TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING AND WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? >> Reporter: UNDERCONTROL BUT NOT COMPLETELY OVER. THE POLICE SAY THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO DISPERSE THE CROWD. THAT IS WHAT THEY SAY HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM IS PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING THE COMMANDS TO LEAVE THE AREA. THEY HEARD ABOUT THIS ABOUT 1:30 THIS AFTERNOON. PLEASE HAVE A POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA INVITING PEOPLE TO THIS GIVEAWAY AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE BUT NOTHING QUITE TO THIS SCALE. BY 3:30, 4:00, THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE HERE. THEY SAY THE SITUATION GOT COMPLICATED EVEN MORE SO BECAUSE IT WAS A CONSTRUCTION SITE THAT WAS WITHIN UNION SQUARE. THEY SAID SOME PEOPLE IN THE CROWD HAD TROUBLE, ALONG WITH THINGS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR. IT IS MIRACULOUS NOBODY WAS SERIOUSLY HURT. THE OFFICERS ALSO SAY THAT SEVERAL POLICE OFFICERS WERE INJURED TRYING TO GET THINGS UNDER ORDER. AGAIN, NO ONE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN IMMERSED ARRESTS BECAUSE THERE IS A CITY BUS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ARRESTED AND THE BUS WAS ATTACKED AS THEY WERE TRYING TO TAKE PEOPLE OFF FOR PROCESSING. A CHAOTIC AFTERNOON, HERE IS WHAT THE POLICE JUST SAID ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. TAKE A LISTEN. >> THE NYPD GAVE MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE CROWD TO LEAVE. WE TRY TO GET THEM TO EXIT THE PARK AND EXIT THE STREETS. AFTER NUMEROUS WARNINGS, WE STARTED TO MAKE ARRESTS TO CLEAR OUT THE PARK. >> POLICE SAID THEY SHOWED RESTRAINTS DURING THIS PROCESS. NUMEROUS ARRESTS, WE DO NOT HAVE A NUMBER. IT IS ALSO UNCLEAR WHETHER THE INFLUENCER TRIED TO ORGANIZE THIS WHOLE THING, WHETHER AND WHAT TIMES -- CRIMES HE MAY BE CHARGED WITH. THE POLICE OFFICER WHO GAVE THEIR BRIEFING ALLUDED TO A POSSIBLE CHARGE OF INCITING A RIOT BUT WE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT DEFINITIVELY JUST YET. HE IS IN CUSTODY AND BEING QUESTIONED BY AUTHORITIES. THE BOTTOM LINE AT THIS HOUR, THE STREETS HERE ARE RELATIVELY CALM AND THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. >> RON ALLEN LIVE, THANK YOU. >>> WE WANT TO O OVERSEAS NOW, UKRAINE TONIGHT CLAIMING A BATTLEFIELD WIN ON RUSSIAN SOIL AFTER A DRONE ATTACK APPEARS TO HAVE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED A RUSSIAN WARSHIP. WE HAVE VERIFIED THE FOOTAGE YOU'RE SEEING HERE, IT APPEARS TO SHOW THE DRONE ZOOMING TOWARD THE RUSSIAN SHIP. THE VIDEO CUTS OUT SUDDENLY IMPLYING IT EXPLODED WHEN IT GOT CLOSE TO THE VESSEL. RUSSIA CLAIMS THAT DESTROYED THE DRONE AND STOPPED THE ATTACK BUT MORE VIDEO VERIFIED BY NBC NEWS TELLING A BIT OF A DIFFERENT STORY, YOU CAN SEE THE SHIP HERE LISTING TO ONE SIDE AND BEING TUGGED TO A NEARBY PORT, INDICATING THE SHIP HAS INCREASED SERIOUS DAMAGE. MATT BRADLEY IS JOINED -- JOINING US NOW. THERE HAVE BEEN SEPARATE DRONE ATTACKS IN MOSCOW. TALK TO US ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE HERE FROM BOTH SIDES AS THIS CONFLICT GOES ON, BOTH THE SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE AND OTHERWISE? >> THIS IS A PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE WAR ESPECIALLY FOR RUSSIAN CITIZENS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN A POLITICAL -- THEY MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IGNORE TENSIONS PLACED ON THEM BY THE WEST. NOW THEY ARE SEEING OMBS AND DRONES, BOAT DRONES OR MARITIME DRONES THAT ARE ATTACKING NAVAL ASSETS IN RUSSIA PROPER. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT THING. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME UKRAINIANS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ATTACK RUSSIAN SHIPS WHILE THEY HAVE BEEN STATIONS TO PORT BUT THOSE PORTS HAVE BEEN IN CRIMEA, WHICH WAS A RUSSIAN OCCUPIED, UKRAINIAN PENINSULA FROM BACK IN 2014 WHEN THE RUSSIANS FIRST INVADED UKRAINE. NOW THEY HAVE SHOWN THEY ARE ABLE TO EXTEND THEIR POWER TO RUSSIA PROPER ON A MARITIME BASIS. WE SAW JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WE HAVE SEEN REPEATEDLY, DRONE ATTACKS AGAINST MAJOR GOVERNMENT CENTERS AND BUSINESS CENTERS IN MOSCOW. SO, NO LONGER CAN THE KREMLIN CLAIM THE WAR IS BEING FOUGHT SOLELY IN UKRAINE BECAUSE UKRAINIANS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY AND CONSISTENTLY BROUGHT THE BATTLE RIGHT UP THERE DOORSTEP. >> MATT BRADLEY WITH US TONIGHT TRACKING THIS NEWS INVOLVING RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, THANK YOU. >>> WE WILL TURN TO THE WEATHER NOW WHERE EMERGENCY CREWS IN TENNESSEE ARE OUT RESCUING PEOPLE, PEOPLE ARE TRAPPED IN THEIR HOMES AFTER SOME PRETTY SERIOUS FLOODING. THIS EVENING'S PICTURE, WATERS UP TO DOORS AND UILDINGS, CARS ALMOST FULLY UNDERWATER IN SOME CASES. PRACTICALLY NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE HIT WITH SOME TYPE OF WEATHER THIS WEEKEND. THE NORTHEAST AND MIDWEST COULD SEE SOME SEVERE STORMS, WE ARE TALKING HEAVY RAIN, WIND, HAIL, THAT COULD CREATE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE, ALMOST 50 MILLION PEOPLE UNDER HEAT ALERT HAS US TEMPERATURES RAMP UP YET AGAIN. MULTIPLE RECORDS CAN BE SHATTERED OVER THIS WEEKEND. WE WILL TURN TO METEOROLOGIST BILL KAREN TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR US. WE HAVE THIS MIXED BAG OF ALL THINGS WEATHER THIS WEEKEND, WHAT IS THE LOWDOWN, WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW? >> Reporter: THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT CAN BE LIKE, WE ARE GOOD. EVERYBODY ELSE FOR THE MOST PART HAS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT. WE HAVE HAD A SEVERE STORM ROLLING THROUGH THE NORTHEAST GOING THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME REPORTS OF DOWNED TREES AND ISOLATED REPORTS OF HAIL UP TO AN INCH TO AN INCH AND A QUARTER. NOW THEY ARE PUSHING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE. THEY ARE JUST ABOUT OVER WITH IN THE ADIRONDACKS BUT THE SOUTHERN TIER OF NEW YORK DEALING WITH PRETTY GOOD-SIZED HAIL. THERE IS COOPERSTOWN, NOT FAR FROM THERE, THIS LINE OF STORMS IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUSH OVER INTERSTATE 80 SHORTLY. THE OTHER AREA OF STRONG STORMS IS HEADED THROUGH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, NOT TOO MUCH LIGHTNING WITH THIS BUT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN LARGE TALE ABOUT A HALF-HOUR AGO. AND, FLASH FLOODING. THEY HAVE HAD TOO MUCH RAIN THIS SUMMER IN ALL AREAS OF VERMONT AND NEW HAMPSHIRE, RUTLAND UNDER A FLASH FLOOD WARNING. AS FAR AS THE SEVERE WEATHER FOR THIS WEEKEND, SATURDAY, KENT CITY TO OMAHA, COMING INTO SUNDAY WE ARE GOING FROM CHICAGO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO NASHVILLE AND YOU DON'T WANT TO FORGET HOW HOT IT IS EITHER. IT IS STILL AT THIS HOUR, FEELS LIKE 111 IN NEW ORLEANS IN THE SHADE. NOT A PRETTY SCENE. >> I'M GRATEFUL WE ARE AT LEAST NOT TALKING ABOUT HURRICANES YET. IT IS OBVIOUS, THOUGH. >> FIND SOME WOOD AROUND HERE. BY THE WAY, THE PEAK OF THE HURRICANE SEASON IS THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER. EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY WITHOUT ONE IS A GOOD DAY. >> THANK YOU, BILL. >>> RIGHT NOW, WRITERS ARE HEADING BACK TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE WITH MAJOR HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS, NEARLY 100 DAYS SINCE THEIR STRIKE STARTED. THEY ARE A BIT SKEPTICAL ABOUT MAKING ANY BIG BREAKTHROUGHS RIGHT NOW, WHY? IN AN EMAIL TO MEMBERS, THE WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA WRITING, WE WILL NOT PREJUDGE WHAT IS TO COME, BUT PLAYBOOKS DIEHARD. THEY CALLED THE UNION STATEMENT UNFORTUNATE, INSISTING IN ITS WORDS, THE ONLY PLAYBOOK IS GETTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK. IT HAPPENS IS THE HEAD OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST STUDIOS, WARNER BROS., REPORTS ON THE COMPANY'S EARNINGS CALL THAT THE STRIKE HAS SAVED THE COMPANY MORE THAN $100 MILLION SO FAR. DANA GRIFFIN JOINING ME NOW FROM L.A. WHERE DO THINGS STAND? WHAT DO WE KNOW AT THIS POINT? ARE THERE ANY INDICATIONS THE WRITERS IN THE STUDIOS ARE MAKING ARE CAN MAKE PROGRESS TODAY WITH THESE TALKS? >> IT IS VERY HOPEFUL CONSIDERING IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 100 DAYS SINCE THE WRITERS WENT ON STRIKE AND THEY ARE FINALLY GETTING BACK TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE. WE ARE STANDING BY, WAITING FOR ANY UPDATES THAT COME OUT OF THAT MEETING. I CAN TELL YOU THOUGH THAT THE PICKET LINES WERE VERY STRONG TODAY, EVEN OUTSIDE OF UNIVERSAL WHEN YOU HAD BOTH THE ACTORS AND WRITERS ON STRIKE, THEY EVEN HAD SOME LANES BLOCKED OFF TO MAKE ROOM FOR EVERYBODY THAT SHOWED UP TODAY. I SPOKE TO ONE WRITER ABOUT WHETHER HE THINKS, OR WHETHER HE IS OPTIMISTIC THAT THEY COULD REACH A DEAL, HERE'S WHAT HE SAID. >> I THINK THE ATTITUDE IS CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM. EVENTUALLY WE WILL REACH A DEAL WITH THE STUDIOS. IF THEY CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO ENGAGE WITH US, WE WILL REMAIN ON STRIKE. PERIOD. >> WHETHER THAT STRIKE ENDS TODAY OR IN SEVERAL WEEKS REMAINS TO BE SEEN. >> I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE MONEY TOO. WE TALKED ABOUT HOW WARNER BROS. SAYS THE STRIKE HAS ACTUALLY SAVED THAT COMPANY A BIG CHUNK OF MONEY, DOES THAT TELL US ANYTHING GOING FORWARD? DOES IT SIGNAL THE STUDIOS MAY NOT WANT THE STRIKE TO END ANYTIME SOON AS SOME HAD PREDICTED A FEW WEEKS BACK? >> POSSIBLY BUT ALSO YOU HAVE THE WARNER BROS. CEO, HE SAID WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF MAKING MONEY AND HE HOPES THAT THOSE NEGOTIATIONS TALKS RESUME. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS IS THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS, THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY AND THEY WANT TO GET BACK TO DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST. SO IT IS IN EVERYONE'S BEST INTEREST TO TRY TO GET BACK TO WORK BUT LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, AS YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, WE HAVE A FULL SCREEN TO PULL UP SO YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH THE STRIKES HAVE IMPACTED THE ECONOMY. THE COST OF THIS STRIKE COULD EXCEED $3 BILLION. JUST IN L.A., THE ACTOR STRIKE ALONE IS COSTING THE L.A. ECONOMY AS MUCH AS $30 MILLION A DAY. YOU HAVE GOT TO UNDERSTAND THESE ARE ALSO IMPACTING OTHER JOBS, WHETHER YOU'RE A HOTEL WORKER, A CATERER, THERE ARE SO MANY CITIES, NEW YORK AND L.A. THAT ARE TAKING HITS FROM THIS. IS IN EVERYONE'S BEST INTEREST TO TRY TO GET TO AN AGREEMENT SO THAT EVERYONE CAN GET BACK TO WORK. >> DANA GRIFFIN FOR US, THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT. >>> THE NEW JOBS REPORT TODAY SHOWING HIRING IN THE U.S. IS SLOWING DOWN BUT STILL STURDY, FUELING HOPES WITH INVESTORS THAT THE FED MIGHT LEAVE INTEREST RATES ALONE AT ITS NEXT MEETING. THE ECONOMY ADDED 187,000 JOBS LAST MONTH, SLIGHTLY FEWER THAN EXPECTED FOR THE SECOND MONTH IN A ROW. ECONOMISTS SAY IT COULD BE GOOD NEWS BECAUSE THE OVERALL NUMBER OF LAYOFFS IS GOING DOWN SIGNALING A STABILIZING JOB MARKET. MEANWHILE THE UNDERLAYMENT RATE FELL TO 3 1/2%, NEARING THE LOWEST LEVEL IN THE LAST 50 YEARS. BRIAN CHEUNG, JOINING US NOW TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. WALK US THROUGH THESE NUMBERS TODAY, WHERE DID WE SEE THE MOST GROWTH? GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT THIS ALL MEANS FOR THE REGULAR AMERICAN TECH >> A LOT OF NUMBERS. LET'S REITERATE, 187,000 JOBS, THAT IS HOW MANY WERE ADDED IN THE MONTH OF JULY. THAT IS A LITTLE BIT FASTER THAN 185,000 THAT WE SAW IN JUNE BUT INTERESTING TO KNOW WALL STREET ECONOMISTS HAVE EXPECTED 200,000 IN THE MONTH. THIS IS A QUOTE UNQUOTE SOFT REPORT AND SOME WE WERE EXPECTING HEADING INTO THIS. AT 187,000, THAT PACE IS STILL WHAT WOULD BE COMMENSURATE WITH A RELATIVELY HEALTHY ECONOMY. THERE WERE TIMES WHERE WE WERE ADDING 200,000 JOBS A MONTH AND ECONOMISTS ARE SAYING WE DO NOT USUALLY TEND TO SEE THOSE TYPES OF NUMBERS, SO THIS IS A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT WITH A GROWING ECONOMY. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WENT DOWN TO 3.5%, THAT IS GOOD NEWS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER HISTORICALLY 3.5%, OVER 50 YEAR LOW. WHERE DID WE SEE THE JOB GAINS IN THE MONTH? JOBS AT BARS AND RESTAURANTS ADDING 7000 IN THE MONTH. NOT ALL SECTORS DID GAIN IN THE MONTH, PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS SERVICES, WHITE-COLLAR JOBS IN THE OFFICE, THAT CONTRASTING BY ABOUT 8000, THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR ALL THE FINANCIAL SERVICES DID ODD JOBS. >> ALL THIS HAS SOME PEOPLE WONDERING IF THIS COULD BE THE THING THAT ENCOURAGES THE FED TO STOP THOSE INTEREST-RATE HIKES. WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM THE NEXT MEETING IN SEPTEMBER? >> AS IS THE CASE WITH ANYTHING IN THE FINANCIAL MARKET, YOU HAVE INVESTORS PUTTING BETS AND THE BETS SHOW AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF INVESTORS SAYING THEY EXPECT THE FED AFTER THIS REPORT TO NOT RAISE INTEREST RATES ANY FURTHER BUT ONE THING THE FED WILL BE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY AS THIS FIGURE HERE, AVERAGE HOURLY EARNINGS, HOW MUCH MORE CAN PEOPLE GET PAID IN JULY OF THIS YEAR COMPARED TO JULY OF LAST YEAR? THAT FIGURE IS 4.4%, THAT IS THE SAME PACE WE SAW IN JUNE, THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR WORKERS THAT ARE NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE SUMMER, SEEING THE PACE OF WAGES INCREASE AT A RATE THAT IS FASTER THAN THE PACE OF OVERALL PRICE INCREASES. THE REASON WHY, INFLATION IS PACING UP 3%, WHICH MEANS YOUR WALLET IS GROWING FASTER THAN THE PRICE TIMES AT THE STORE. THAT WAS NOT A TREND THAT HAPPENED PRIOR TO THE SURE SUMMER. WELCOME NEWS TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE AS WELL. >> THANK YOU. >>> THE FDA IS EXPECTED TO DECIDE BY TOMORROW WHETHER TO APPROVE THE FIRST PILL TO TREAT POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION. IT IS TAKEN DAILY FOR 2 WEEKS AND HAS SHOWN PROMISE IN CLINICAL TRIALS, WOMEN WITH SEVERE DEPRESSION SAY THAT SYMPTOMS IMPROVE AS EARLY AS THREE DAYS AFTER TAKING THE FIRST PILL. MEDICATION COULD REALLY INCREASE ACCESS FOR MOTHER SUFFERING FROM POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION BECAUSE IT CAN BE TAKEN AT HOME. THE TREATMENT IS ALREADY APPROVED AS AN INJECTION THAT REQUIRES A HOSPITAL STAY WHICH FOR A LOT OF MOMS IS INFEASIBLE AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE ABOUT ONE IN EIGHT WOMEN EXPERIENCE SYMPTOMS OF POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION. LET'S BRING IN OUR MEDICAL CONTRIBUTOR TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS. HOW BIG OF A GAME CHANGER WOULD THIS BE FOR MOMS? >> IT IS HUGE. HAVING SOMETHING THAT CAN AFFECT SO MANY WOMEN AND IS SO COMMON, ONE EIGHT, IT IS PROBABLY AN UNDERCOUNT, IS A GAME CHANGER IN GENERAL. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE SYMPTOMS OF POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION, THEY ARE WIDE RANGING. THEY CAN PRESENT DAYS TO MONTHS AFTER THE DELIVERY. ANYTHING FROM RESTLESSNESS TO ANXIETY AND FEELING COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM YOURSELF OR YOUR BABY. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH A RANGE OF THE SPECTRUM OF SYMPTOMS AND AS HE MENTIONED, SO FAR ALL WE HAVE HAD IS AN INJECTION, IT IS EXPENSIVE, IT TAKES 2 1/2 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH INTENSE MONITORING AND IS NOT FEASIBLE. >> THE FDA IS LOOKING AT LIKELY APPROVING THIS, WHAT HAS TO BE FIGURED OUT HERE? WHAT ARE THEY CONSIDERING WHEN THEY GET THERE THIS POINT OF APPROVING? >> WE GOT THROUGH THE BIGGEST HURDLE WHICH WAS THE CLINICAL TRIAL. THAT IS OF THE AGENCY IS LOOKING FOR. I THINK NOW WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO THINK ABOUT IS LITERALLY, WHAT WOULD THE GUIDANCE NEED TO BE? SHOULD THIS BE USED IN CERTAIN TYPES OF DEPRESSION? WHAT WOULD THEY NEED TO LOOK FOR IN TERMS OF SIDE EFFECTS? EVERY MEDICATION HAS SIDE EFFECTS, THIS IS AN ORAL PILL, ONCE A DAY, 14 DAYS. WE THINK THIS LASTS A LITTLE BIT PAST 45 DAYS IN TERMS OF ITS EFFECTS BUT THEY WILL WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS WHAT WE TELL PEOPLE WHEN THEY TAKE THIS, ALL THE SIDE EFFECTS WE TALK ABOUT, EVERYTHING FROM NAUSEA, DIZZINESS AND VOMITING, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND UPFRONT. IT IS GREAT NEWS AND I DO FEEL THAT IF IT GETS APPROVED IT CAN BE AVAILABLE WITHIN WEEKS TO MONTHS. >> WE WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS ONE FOR SURE. >>> COMING UP, A SUSPECTED MURDER ARRESTED IN WHAT NEW YORK POLICE BELIEVE WAS A HATE CRIME. >>> A SURPRISING TACTIC TODAY IN A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE PARKLAND SHERIFF'S DEPUTY IN FLORIDA, WHY LAWYERS REENACTED THE >>> WELLS FARGO FACING NEW HEAT FOR MYSTERIOUS PHONY BANK ACCOUNTS, THAT IS IN THE FIVE THINGS. FIRST, ONE OF THE DEADLIEST SCHOOL SHOOTINGS IN U.S. HISTORY, THE PARKLAND, FLORIDA SCHOOL SHOOTING WAS REENACTED TODAY. IT IS PART OF A CIVIL LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIM. BALLISTICS EXPERTS FIRING UP TO 139 SHOTS AT THE SCHOOL TODAY DURING THIS REENACTMENT OF THE 2018 TRAGEDY. TECHNICIANS RECORDING THE SOUND OF THE GUNFIRE, TRYING TO CAPTURE WHAT THAT OFFICER, SCOTT PETERSON, HEARD DURING THE SIX MINUTE ATTACK. THE FAMILIES ARE ACCUSING PETERSON OF FAILING TO PROTECT THEIR LOVED ONES AND ARE SEEKING UNSPECIFIED DAMAGES. HE WAS ACQUITTED IN JUNE OF FELONY CHILD NEGLECT AND NEGLIGENCE FOR FAILING TO ACT DURING THE SHOOTING. THE SHOOTING LEFT 17 PEOPLE DEAD, 14 STUDENTS AND THREE STAFF MEMBERS. THE SHOOTER, A FORMER STUDENT, WAS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON AND 2021. SAM BROCK HAS MORE FROM PARKLAND. >> Reporter: ALL DAY NOW THERE HAS BEEN A REENACTMENT GOING ON WHERE I AM STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN CLOSED THROUGHOUT THE DAY. YOU LOOK AT THE POLICE LIGHTS BEHIND ME, THEY ARE JUST NOW OPENING THINGS UP BUT THE REAL ISSUE HERE, TWO THINGS GOING ON UNRELATED HERE IN PARKLAND, ONE OF THEM, THE FACT THIS REENACTMENT CONTAIN LIVE AMMUNITION BEING USED ON AN AR 15 TYPE OF RIFLE, THE SAME KIND THE SHOOTER USED ON THAT TRAGIC DAY 28 -- IT IS BECAUSE OF A CIVIL LAWSUIT AGAINST SCOTT PETERSON WHO WAS A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER WAS FOUND BY A JURY TO BE FOUND NOT GUILTY OF FELONY CHILD NEGLECT. THE PARENTS BELIEVE HE SHOWED COWARDICE AND DID NOT GO INTO THAT BUILDING AS KIDS WERE BEING KILLED AND THEY WANT HIM TO PAY LITERALLY FOR THAT. THE QUESTION BECOMES, WHY IS THIS STILL GOING ON? BECAUSE IT IS STILL A CRIME SCENE AND THEY ARE STILL GATHERING THE REENACTMENT SIMULATION TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER OR NOT PETERSON WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HEAR WHERE THE SHOTS WERE COMING FROM. HE SAYS HE COULD NOT TELL THAT THEY. THE THING IS THOUGH, YOU HAVE 602,000 KIDS WHO WERE PILING OUT OF THE SCHOOL, CARS IN THE PARKING LOT, NONE OF THAT WAS THERE TODAY. IT BEGS THE QUESTION, WOULD THIS HAVE BEEN AN ACCURATE SIMULATION? AT THE SAME TIME, AN EXTRAORDINARY EVENT TODAY WITH NINE MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION, MANY FROM FLORIDA BUT ALSO CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA, TOURING THE HALLWAYS OF STONEMAN DOUGLAS. IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME RIGHT NOW AS IT DID FIVE AND HALF YEARS AGO WHICH IS TO SAY THERE IS BLOODSTAIN ISSUE OVER THE HALLWAYS, YOU HAVE BULLETHOLES, YOU ALSO HAVE SHATTERED GLASS AND SIGNS OF BULLETS WHERE THE SHOOTER TRY TO GO DOWN FROM THE THIRD FLOOR AND SHOOT OUTSIDE, AND IT DID NOT PENETRATE BECAUSE OF THE HURRICANE FORCE WINDOWS BUT THESE ARE THE CONDITIONS THESE LAWMAKERS ARE GOING IN THERE AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF THIS TRAGEDY AND ALSO WHAT MORE THEY CAN DO. FLORIDA DID NOT LEAD THE WAY WHEN IT CAME TO A REFORM PACKAGE HERE WHETHER IT IS RED FLAG LAW'S OR RAISING THE AGE FORGETTING LONG-RANGE GUNS, LONG GUNS, TO 21 YEARS OLD. OTHER THINGS AROUND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, COORDINATION BETWEEN AGENCIES WHEN IT COMES TO THREAT ASSESSMENT. THEY ARE TRYING TO EXPORT THOSE PLANS THAT HAVE WORKED HERE IN FLORIDA THROUGHOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET LAWMAKERS IN CONGRESS TO ACT AS WELL. WILL THAT HAPPEN? THAT IS THE QUESTION THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. SAM BROCK, NBC NEWS. BACK TO YOU. >>> LET'S GET YOU OVER TO THE FIVE THINGS NOW OUR TEAM THINKS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TONIGHT. NUMBER ONE, POLICE SOURCES SAYING A SUSPECT HAS BEEN ARRESTED IN THE DEATH OF A MAN STABBED TO DEATH LAST WEEKEND. POLICE SAY THE SUSPECT TURNED HIMSELF IN AT A POLICE STATION. INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL DETERMINING WHETHER HIS MURDER WAS A HATE CRIME. >>> NUMBER TWO, MORE THAN 40 PEOPLE SAY BANK ACCOUNTS WERE MYSTERIOUSLY OPENED IN THEIR NAMES AT WELLS FARGO. ONE MAN IS SUING THE COMPANY FOR STEALING HIS PRIVATE INFORMATION SAYING HE NEVER EVEN HAD A WELLS FARGO ACCOUNT, BUT HE DISCOVERED ONE REGISTERED TO HIM WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN IT. A WELLS FARGO SPOKESPERSON DENIED ANY ALLEGATIONS OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. >>> NUMBER THREE, THE ARMOR ON THE MOVIE REST, WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A LUMINARY HEARING. SHE IS CHARGED WITH INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER IN THE DEATH OF THE CINEMATOGRAPHER WHO WAS ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AND KILLED ON THE SET. SHE HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY, A DATE FOR THIS TRIAL STILL HAS NOT BEEN SET. >>> THE UNIVERSITIES OF OREGON AND WASHINGTON EXPECTED TO JOIN THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE. THAT IS BAD NEWS FOR THE PAC 12. SOON IT COULD BE MADE UP OF JUST FOUR SCHOOLS. >>> AMERICANS WILL GET ANOTHER SHOT TO NOT WIN $1 BILLION. NOBODY HAS HIT THE MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT SINCE APRIL. IT HAS NOW CLIMBED ALL THE WAY UP TO $1.35 BILLION. THAT IS TIED FOR THE FOURTH LARGEST LOTTERY PRIZE EVER IN U.S. HISTORY. I WOULD WISH YOU LUCK BUT WE WILL ALL BE AT WORK ON MONDAY. LATER IN THE SHOW, CHINA JUST CANNOT CATCH A BREAK FROM SOME INTENSE WEATHER, WHY TENS OF THOUSANDS ARE NOW BEING EVACUATED. THAT IS LATER IN >>> A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SHOWING UP IN UKRAINE, THAT IS LATER IN THE GLOBAL. FIRST, WE WANT TO BRING YOU TODAY'S ORIGINAL WITH IN-DEPTH REPORTING ON A TOPIC WE HAVE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON. TONIGHT, WE ARE TAKING YOU BACK IN TIME TO THE LIGHT TO THOUSANDS WHEN THIS WOMAN WENT VIRAL AFTER CLAIMING A FLU SHOT MAY HAVE CAUSED A STRANGE INJURY. REPORTS LATER OUTED HER CALLING HER A FAKE BUT HER STORY HAD ALREADY TAKEN OFF. SHE IS SPEAKING NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME SHARING WHETHER SHE HAS ANY REGRETS AND WHAT SHE WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT THE ANTI-VAX MOVEMENT NOW AS IT GROWS IN POPULARITY TODAY. WE SPOKE TO BRANDY. >> Reporter: YOU MIGHT NOT REMEMBER DESIREE TOWNSEND BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FLU SHOT CHEERLEADER? A 2009 MEDIA SENSATION AND EARLY VIRAL VIDEO. SHE CLAIMED SHE HAD BEEN INJURED BY A SEASONAL FLU SHOT, THAT IT CAUSED A TWISTED JERKING WALK THAT DISAPPEARED WHEN SHE RAN OR WENT BACKWARDS. THE ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT WAS STRUGGLING. BUT, SAW AN OPPORTUNITY AND EMBRACED HER AS ITS NEW POSTER GIRL. >> NICE TO MEET YOU. >> SHE IS NOT GOING TO TALK TO YOU. >> Reporter: THE DISAPPEARED WHEN DESIREE WAS OUTED AS A SUPPOSEDLY FAKE HER. >> WHERE YOU FAKING IT? >> DEFINITELY NOT. I KNOW THE SYMPTOMS LOOK BAZAAR. >> Reporter: NOW 14 YEARS LATER, SHE IS SPEAKING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE ORDEAL. MOTIVATED BY THE RISE IN ANTI- VAX OR IS IN A POST-PANDEMIC WORLD. AND, HOPING TO WARN OTHERS WHO MIGHT GET CAUGHT UP IN WHAT SHE CALLS THE ANTI-VACCINE PR MACHINE. >> AT THE END OF THE DAY, THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST GOING TO USE YOU. >> COVID-19 WAS NOT ON ANYBODY'S MINDS IN 2009, BUT THE COUNTRY WAS IN THE GRIPS OF A DIFFERENT PANDEMIC. >> WE HAVE AN UPDATE TONIGHT ON THE SWINE FLU VIRUS. >> Reporter: WHILE HEALTH OFFICIALS ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO GET AN H1N1 VACCINE, A GROUP OF ACTIVISTS, LED BY AN ACTRESS, WAS DOING THE OPPOSITE. >> WITHOUT A DOUBT IN MY MIND I BELIEVE VACCINATIONS TRIGGERED HIS AUTISM. I THINK THEY NEED TO WAKE UP AND STOP HURTING OUR KIDS. >> Reporter: THOSE FALSE THEORIES ABOUT VACCINES HAVE BEEN DEBUNKED BUT DESIREE'S STORY WAS MAKING THE ROUNDS. >> IT IS ONE OF THE MOST TALKED ABOUT STORIES WE HAVE EVER HAD AN INSIDE EDITION. >> Reporter: HE PRETTY CHEERLEADER AMBASSADOR FOR AN NFL TEAM, STRANGELY DISABLED BY A VACCINE WAS RATINGS GOLD. DENNY McCARTHYS ORGANIZATION WANTED TO USE IT TO BRING ATTENTION TO THEIR CAUSE. A CRUSADE SPREADING THE DISPROVEN THEORY THAT VACCINES CAUSED AUTISM AND THAT UNCONVENTIONAL TREATMENTS COULD CURE IT. >> I WAS YOUNG, I WAS 25. I NEEDED HELP. I HAD THESE PEOPLE COME TO ME AND SAID WE WILL GIVE YOU THAT HELP BUT HERE IS THE CAUSE. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE WHAT WE WILL LEAVE. >> Reporter: GENERATION RESCUE ASKED HER TO STAR IN AN ANTI VACCINE DOCUMENTARY. >> CAN YOU SET UP? >> Reporter: IT WAS NEVER MADE BUT THE FOOTAGE WAS LEFT WITH DESIREE WHO SHARED IT WITH NBC NEWS. THEY TOOK HER TO THIS DOCTOR, A CONTROVERSIAL DOCTOR POPULAR FOR HIS ADVERTISED MIRACLE CURES THAT COULD SUPPOSEDLY DETOX PATIENTS. THE UNCONVENTIONAL TREATMENTS SEEMED TO ALLEVIATE HER SYMPTOMS, AT LEAST INITIALLY. ANTI-VACCINE ACTIVISTS CLAIMED VICTORY AND IN THE GENERATION RESCUE FOOTAGE THEY STRATEGIZE ABOUT HER FUTURE. EVEN CALLING HER THE NEXT JENNY McCARTHY. >> SHE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE. >> Reporter: BACK HOME, WHEN THE CAMERAS WERE OFF, SHE STILL FELT SICK. >> WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT, NO OTHER OPTION, OF COURSE YOU ARE GOING TO TURN TO ANYBODY WHO WOULD COME TO YOU AND SAY, WE CAN HELP YOU. I JUST DID NOT REALIZE WHAT THE COST OF THAT HELP WAS. >> Reporter: WE REACHED OUT TO JENNY McCARTHY FOR COMMENT AND DID NOT HEAR BACK. THE FORMER GENERATION RESCUE PRESIDENT TOLD US VIA TEXT HE HAS BEEN QUOTE, OUT OF THE STATES FOR A LONG TIME AND DID NOT RESPOND TO FURTHER QUESTIONS. THE DOCTOR DIED IN MAY, HIS FAMILY DID NOT RESPOND TO QUEST FOR COMMENT AND ACCORDING TO MEDICAL RECORDS, DESIREE CONTINUES TO SEEK TREATMENT FOR HER CONDITION BUT THEN A SERIES OF NEW REPORTS CAST DOUBT ON HER STORY. ONE FROM INSIDE EDITION WAS MOST DAMNING. IT SHOWED DESIREE PLAYING WITH HER DOGS, WALKING NORMALLY AND DRIVING. >> WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU, WHAT IS GOING ON? >> IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MADE A COMPLETE RECOVERY. >> I WOULD NOT SAY COMPLETE RECOVERY. >> Reporter: WITH THAT, MUCH OF THE COUNTRY HAD DECIDED, IT SEEMS, THAT THE WHOLE THING HAD BEEN A HOAX AND A GENERATION RESCUE DROPPED HER. >> I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT I DID NOT TAKE -- FAKE AN ILLNESS, I AM NOT A SCAMMER, I AM NOT ANTI-VACCINE, I AM NOT A LIAR. >> Reporter: BY THEN, THE IMPACT OF HER STORY WAS OUT OF HER CONTROL. DOCTORS AND PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS AT THE TIME WARNED ABOUT THE POWER OF A STORY LIKE HERS. THIS DOCTOR, DIRECTOR OF THE VACCINE EDUCATION CENTER AT PHILADELPHIA CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL DISCUSSED ONE ACCOUNT OF VACCINE HESITANCY IN AN INTERVIEW WITH PBS. >> I SPOKE RECENTLY AT A HIGH SCHOOL NEAR HERE, THERE WERE ABOUT 200 PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE. I ASKED THEM HOW MANY HAD GOTTEN THE INFLUENZA VACCINE, ABOUT HALF RAISED THEIR HANDS. OF A HALF THAT DID NOT, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT GET IT BECAUSE ON YOUTUBE THEY SAW A REDSKINS CHEERLEADER SAY SHE HAD GOTTEN THE VACCINE AND HAD A SO-CALLED DYSTONIC REACTION. >> Reporter: NOW, ALMOST A DECADE AND A HALF LATER, HE SAYS THEY STILL BOOST PERSONAL ANECDOTES TO BOOST THEIR CLAIMS. >> WE ARE HUMANS, WE ARE COMPELLED BY STORIES. WE ARE NOT SO COMPELLED BY STATISTICS OR DATA. IF YOU DO STUDY SHOWING IT DOES NOT CALL WHAT YOU'RE SEEING, THAT IS NOT NEARLY AS POWERFUL AS HER SAYING THAT IT DID. >> Reporter: DESIREE NOW REGRETS HER IMPACT. >> IF I CAUSED ANYONE TO NOT RECEIVE A VACCINE OR PUT THEIR CHILDREN AT RISK OR PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK, I FEEL AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF GUILT FOR THAT BUT I REALLY HOPE AND PRAY THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. >> Reporter: DESIREE SAYS HER MOMENT IN THE ANTI-VACCINE SPOTLIGHT HAS COST HER. JOBS, RELATIONSHIPS AND HER REPUTATION. SHE NO LONGER LISA VACCINE IS WHAT CAUSED HER HEALTH PROBLEM. >> I THINK I WAS ALREADY SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF THIS AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE. IT IS JUST THAT ALL OF THESE VARIABLES CAME TOGETHER IN A PERFECT STORM AND IT JUST -- THE TIMING LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A VACCINE BUT IT WAS NOT. IT WAS CORRELATION, NOT CAUSATION. >> Reporter: DESIREE TURNED TOWARD SCIENCE. SHE GRADUATED IN 2019 FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA IRVINE WITH A BACHELORS DEGREE IN BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. WHEN THE COVID VACCINE BECAME AVAILABLE, SHE TOOK IT. AND THE BOOSTER. BUT THE COVID PANDEMIC RUN OUT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE LIKE DESIREE POSTING UNVERIFIED ACCOUNTS OF STRANGE REACTIONS, TREATED THEY SAID, TO THE VACCINE. GENERATION RESCUE SHUT DOWN IN 2019, BUT NEW LEADERS AND ORGANIZATIONS TOOK ITS PLACE, THIS TIME, STOKING FEARS OVER COVID VACCINES. NOW, DESIREE HOPES SHE CAN SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON VACCINES AND WARN OTHERS FROM JOINING THE ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT. >> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO GET WRAPPED IN TO THIS INDUSTRY? >> I WOULD TELL THEM TO RUN BECAUSE THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THAT. YOU ARE GOING TO -- >> WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE ENVIRONMENT TODAY WE ARE IN, YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT THIS ON NBCNEWS.COM. YOU CAN SEE THE HEADLINE ON YOUR SCREEN. >>> STILL AHEAD, FOLKS IN GREASED BAKING THROUGH A STIFLING HEAT WAVE RIGHT NOW, THEIR CREATIVE SOLUTION FOR THEIR FURRY FRIENDS. >>> DISASTER AVERTED AT TH AND . >> QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REBELLION INSIDE RUSSIA. >> WAYS YOU CAN TAKE ARE OF YOUR HEALTH. >> WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS PEOPLE SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR? NBC NEWS DAILY, WEEKDAYS FROM 12:00 TO 4:00 P.M. EASTERN ON NBC NEWS NOW. >>> TONIGHT WE ARE JUST LEARNING HOW CLOSE TWO AIRPLANES ALMOST CAME TO DISASTER. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PHOTO HERE, THIS IS A SCREEN GRAB FROM INSIDE, THE VIDEO FROM INSIDE A JETBLUE COCKPIT AS THAT PLANE WAS LANDING IN BOSTON IN FEBRUARY. YOU CAN SEE THERE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE MIDDLE, A JET CROSSING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PLANE AS IT IS TAKING OFF. THE JETBLUE PILOTS QUICKLY PULLED UP, CIRCLED AROUND THE AIRPORT THERE, THE NTSB SAYS THAT PRIVATE PLANE TOOK OFF WITHOUT PERMISSION AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY THIS, THE TWO RUNWAYS INTERSECT. THIS COMES WITH OTHER TROUBLING FLIGHT ISSUES THIS SUMMER. PASSAGES ON A DELTA AIRLINES PLANE WERE FORCED TO EXIT ON EMERGENCY SLIDES, THIS AFTER THE PAINT PLANES TIRE POPPED WHEN IT LANDED. THEN THERE WAS IT WAS THE SCENE ALSO ANY BOSTON AIRPORT WHERE UNITED PLANE LIPS THE WING OF A DELTA PLANE, IT HAPPENED ON THE TOUR. SOME OF THE CLOSE CALLS ON THE RUNWAYS AND SKIES WE HAVE SEEN AROUND THE COUNTRY AS OF LATE. STEVE PATTERSON IS KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS, WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS CLOSE CALL BACK IN FEBRUARY AND ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT? >> TROUBLING INCIDENT, REALLY. THIS IS FROM FEBRUARY, 27th. WE KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS THE FINAL NTSB REPORT, IT TALKS ABOUT THESE TWO PILOTS, ONE IS THIS 63-YEAR-OLD LEARJET PILOT, HE THINKS HE IS BEING CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF WHEN IN EFFECT HE IS REALLY ONLY BEING CLEARED TO SORT OF TAXI AND LINE UP ON THE RUNWAY. WE KNOW THERE IS LITIGATION BETWEEN HIM AND AIR-TRAFFIC CONTROL AND SOMEHOW HE MISINTERPRETS THAT COMMUNICATION TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS READY TO GO. HE ENDS UP WITH THE SITUATION YOU SHOWED AND SORT OF A DIAGRAM THAT YOU SHOWED OF JUST HOW CLOSE THIS WAS, WITHIN 30 FEET OF THE GROUND, THANKFULLY THE JETBLUE PILOT HAS THE WHEREWITHAL TO PERFORM A MANEUVER TO PULL UP SUDDENLY, PULL UP THE LANDING GEAR AND MAKE SURE THESE PLANES DO NOT CLIP EACH OTHER, LEADING TO DISASTER, BUT IT WAS A REALLY, REALLY CLOSE CALL. THE 63-YEAR-OLD LEARJET PILOT ISSUED A STATEMENT AND SAID TO THE NTSB, I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TO ME DURING THE CLEARANCE, THE ONLY THING THAT COMES TO MY MIND IS THE COLD TEMPERATURE IN BOSTON AFFECTED ME. I WAS NOT FEELING COMPLETELY WELL AND I HAD A STUFFY NOSE. MY APOLOGIES. SEEMS A BIT RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU HEAR THAT BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT FACTORS WENT IN HERE. WE ARE ALSO HEARING HE DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED, REALLY, THAT THIS WAS -- THIS DANGERS OF THE SITUATION UNTIL HE WAS MAKING A FINAL APPROACH TO FORT LAUDERDALE AND THEN WAS INFORMED HE CAUSED THIS BIG INCIDENT AND WE ARE NOT HEARING ANYTHING ABOUT DISCIPLINARY ACTION AT THIS TIME. >> THIS HAS YOU SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD ON SO MANY LEVELS HERE. WE KEEP SEEING MISHAPS WITH FLIGHTS LIKE THIS, RIGHT? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OVERSIGHT OF THIS, ARE THERE ANY CHANGES IN PLACE TO TRY TO AVOID THESE SORTS OF THINGS FROM HAPPENING? >> I THINK THIS IS CERTAINLY -- I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD CALL IT CHRONIC, BUT IT IS NOTED, SPECIFICALLY BY AGENCIES LIKE THE FAA, NTSB, TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG HAVE ALL MADE COMMENTS ABOUT THIS. PART OF THE REASON THEY ARE LOOKING INTO IT IS IN THIS POST COVID ERA, COVID REALLY HIT THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY HARD, PILOTS ARE RETIRING AND CYCLING IN AND CYCLING OUT, IT ALSO EFFECTS AIR-TRAFFIC CONTROL HAS LOST A LOT OF PEOPLE AND SORT OF GAINED A LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU HAVE NEW PEOPLE IN PLACES THAT ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT AND HAVE VERY SPECIFIC JOBS AND I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO THAT. I WANT TO SAY, ALL OF THIS, ANYTHING IN AN AIRPLANE IS MUCH SAFER THAN WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO WHICH IS HOP IN MY CAR AND DRIVE HOME. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WHERE I THINK PEOPLE AT HOME SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT BUT IT IS CONCERNING TO THE LARGER FLIGHT COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES CERTAINLY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. >> STEVE PATTERSON, THANK YOU. >>> AND WE SEEN HIS COVERS HUNDREDS OF INTERNATIONAL STORIES EVERY DAY BECAUSE HE COULD NOT POSSIBLY READ, WATCH OR LISTEN TO ALL OF THEM, OUR FOREIGN DESK HAS DONE IT FOR YOU. WE CALL THIS SEGMENT THE GLOBAL. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE EVACUATED TODAY OUT OF CHINA AS THE COUNTRY ATTLES RECORD-BREAKING RAINFALL. OFFICIALS SAY IT COULD TAKE A MONTH FOR THE WATER TO RECEIPT IN SOME AREAS. AT LEAST 22 PEOPLE HAVE DIED. >>> FROM UKRAINE, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE CHRIS CRISTI MAKING AN UNANNOUNCED VISIT TO UKRAINE TODAY. HE MET WITH PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY IN THE COUNTRY'S CAPITOL. HE VOICED HIS SUPPORT FREEZING AND SAID HE WANTED TO GET A FIRSTHAND LOOK AT WHAT THAT COUNTRY IS GOING THROUGH. HE IS THE SECOND 2024 REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TO VISIT UKRAINE AFTER FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE. >>> OUT OF GREECE, A ZOO THERE IS FEEDING ITS ANIMALS LITERAL FROZEN MEALS. THEY ARE PUTTING MEAT AND FRUIT IN BLOCKS OF ICE. YOU CAN SEE THE ANIMALS LICKING AWAY. THE HEAT WAVE THERE HAS REALLY BEEN JUST CRAZY. TEMPERATURES HITTING 108 DEGREES TODAY, THE COUNTRY HAS EXPERIENCED EXTREME TEMPERATURES AND WILDFIRES ALL SUMMER. >>> STILL TO COME, ROBOTS ARE GETTING SMARTER AND ARE RAISING FEARS THAT THEY COULD TAKE JOBS AWAY FROM HUMANS BUT SOME COMPANIES ARE PROMISING THE RD MOMENT WHERE WE THINK WE ARE RIGHT THERE. >> YOU WILL HAVE TO TAP DANCE WITH MINUTES MAYBE A LITTLE BIT. >>> THE ROBOTICS REVOLUTION IS HERE AND WITH IT ARE FEARS THAT AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGY WILL TAKE JOBS AWAY FROM MILLIONS OF WORKING HUMAN BEINGS. BUT, THE COMPANIES AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS REVOLUTION ARE SAYING THE OPPOSITE, THAT THEIR TECHNOLOGY WILL ONLY CREATE JOBS FOR PEOPLE, AND BETTER JOBS AT THAT. COMPANIES LIKE CHIPOTLE FINDING A USE FOR SOME OF THE TECH. THE ROBOT HELPING TO MAKE THEIR GUACAMOLE. AN EMPLOYEE JUMPS IN TO FINISH THE JOB. ADVOCATES OF ROBOT TECH SAY THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS WITH A BIG OPPORTUNITY TO TURN DELIVERY DRIVERS AND TO DRONE PILOTS AND ROBOT TECHNICIANS. YOU'RE LOOKING AT ONE COMPANY'S TECH THAT DOES JUST THAT. KATE ROGERS JOINS ME NOW. >> YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THESE COMPANIES, SEEING HOW THEY ARE OPERATING, WHAT THEY ARE DOING, WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO REVOLUTIONIZE HOW WE WORK. >> WE ARE NEAR A ZIP LINE IN SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, THE COMPANY IS USING ROBOTICS TO CHANGE THE WAY DELIVERIES ARE MADE. IT SAYS TO MAKE THEM BOTH MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. WORKERS HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO ARE WORKING ON PARTS FOR THEIR FLEET OF AUTONOMOUS DELIVERY JONES THAT HAVE DELIVERED EVERYTHING FROM COVID VACCINES TO HOSPITALS TO e-COMMERCE PACKAGES FOR CUSTOMERS OF WALMART. TAKE A LISTEN TO THE COMPANY'S CEO. >> BEFORE WE WERE USING A HUMAN TO DO ONE DELIVERY AT A TIME. NOW WE ARE TRAINING THAT HUMAN TO MAINTAIN AND MANAGE A FLEET OF ROBOTS, THAT HUMAN CAN NOW DO 50 DELIVERIES AND AN HOUR RATHER THAN FIVE. THAT ENABLES US TO PLAY THAT HUMAN A LOT MORE. A >> Reporter: ZIP LINE IS LOOKING TO ADD 100 WORKERS TO ITS RANKS, FOCUSING ON ROBOTICS, NOT JUST MAKING THEM BUT ALSO RUNNING ALL THE LOGISTICS BECAUSE THAT IS ALSO DONE AND MANAGED IN-HOUSE BY THEIR TEAM HERE. CREATING MANY JOBS. ON THAT FRONT, AS WE LOOK TO KIND OF CHANGE THE WAY THESE DELIVERIES ARE MADE. BACK OVER TO YOU. >> AT THE SAME TIME, WE TALKED TO REGULAR FOLKS WHO ARE A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE LONG- TERM EFFECTS HERE, I GET THE COMPANY IS GOING TO BE MORE EFFICIENT IN THIS WAY, MAYBE EVEN THANKS TO MONEY AND HIRE SOME FOLKS BUT HOW OES THIS ALL REALLY BENEFIT WORKERS AND NOT JUST EVENTUALLY REPLACE THEM LIKE THEY ARE JUST WORKERS WHILE THIS TECHNOLOGY IS BEING DEVELOPED? >> THERE IS NO DOUBT CERTAIN JOBS OF COURSE WILL BE DISPLACED BY TECHNOLOGY BUT ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW THIS COULD BENEFIT WORKERS IS EXACTLY WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE INTRO. THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY WHICH I COVER FOR US AT CNBC HAS BEEN EXTREMELY CHALLENGED IN NOT ONLY ATTRACTING BUT RETAINING WORKERS TO ITS RANKS BECAUSE IT IS A TOUGH LABOR MARKET RIGHT NOW. THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW THEY ARE TESTING OUT WAYS TO MAKE THIS WORK A LITTLE BIT BETTER FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS WILL PEEL AND PREP AVOCADOS TO THEN BE MADE INTO GUACAMOLE. THAT IS A REPETITIVE TASK THAT CAN BE VERY TIME-CONSUMING, IT CAN ALSO BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR WORKERS SO IT TAKES SOME OF THAT OUT OF THE EQUATION SO THE WORKERS CAN JUMP IN WHEN IT IS TIME TO MAKE THAT AND THEY CAN FOCUS ELSEWHERE. NOT ONLY IS IT A TOUGH LABOR ENVIRONMENT BUT IT IS ALSO A TOUGH ENVIRONMENT FOR COMPANIES. CONSUMERS ARE A BIT MORE CAUTIOUS ABOUT HOW, WHERE THEY ARE SPENDING THEIR MONEY RIGHT NOW, YOU ALSO ON THE GUEST EXPERIENCE TO BE REALLY GOOD AND IF YOU'RE FREEING UP WORKERS TO FOCUS MORE ON THAT, SPEED THINGS UP AND MAKE THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE OF IT BETTER THAN THAT IS A WIN-WIN FOR THE COMPANY. ONE MORE THING ON THE LABOR SHORTAGE IS THE COFOUNDER TOLES THEY ARE ALSO STRUGGLING TO FIND WORKERS TO ACTUALLY COME TO THEIR COMPANY AND MAKE THE ROBOTS. THERE IS A LABOR SHORTAGE ON THE ACTUAL RESTAURANT SIDE AND ALSO A TALENT SHORTAGE THERE. THEY ARE LOOKING TO JUMP IN AND MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER FOR COMPANIES LIKE AAA TO SPEED THINGS UP AND HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR GUESTS. >> KATE ROGERS, THANK YOU. >>> THAT IS A WRAP FOR THIS HOUR, WE APPRECIATE YOU JOINING
