>>> WE ARE COMING ON THE AIR WITH THE HISTORIC REACTION TO A HISTORIC DAY. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP PROMISING TONIGHT BACK AFTER HIS CONVICTION ON 34 FELONY COUNTS. PRESIDENT BIDEN HITS BACK CALLING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VERDICT RECKLESS. WE ARE LIVE WITH THE NEW REACTION HERE IN NEW YORK. >>> THE PRESIDENT LAYING OUT A ROAD MAP TO WHAT HE CALLS AN ENDURING CEASE FIRE IN GAZA THAT WOULD LAY OUT HOW TO GET THE ISRAELI HOSTAGES HOME. BUT HOW ARE ISRAEL AND HAMAS GOING TO REACT TO THIS? >>> AND IN THE LAST TWO HOURS, A WOMAN CONSPIRING TO KILL A CONNECTICUT MOTHER OF FIVE SENTENCED TO MORE THAN A DECADE IN PRISON. THE EMOTIONAL MOMENTS INSIDE COURT. >>> THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS AS WE SPEAK AT THE WHITE HOUSE, WE'LL GIVE YOU THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CELEBRATION. >>> AND THE NEW TREND FOR WORKERS THIS SUMMER. TAKING TIME OFF WITHOUT TELLING THEIR BOSSES. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT QUIET VACATIONING. I'M HALLIE. DONALD TRUMP IS SETTING THE STAKES OF THE 2024 ELECTION JUST ABOUT AS HIGH AS THEY CAN GO. CALLING NOVEMBER 5th THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY. AND RAILING AGAINST THE DUBIOUS HISTORY HE HAS MADE AS THE FIRST FORMER PRESIDENT WITH A CONVICTED FELONY. HE TOOK NO QUESTIONS AT ONE OF THE SCENES OF THE CRIME. HE HAD A LOT TO SAY. A LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES. GRUDGES, GRIEVANCES, NEW ATTACKS AGAINST THE DA AND THE JUDGE AND WITHOUT SAYING HIS NAME, MICHAEL COHEN, A POTENTIAL VIOLATION OF THE GAG ORDER. AGAIN CLAIMING HE WANTED TO TESTIFY. SOMETHING HE HAD THE CHOICE TO DO AND CHOSE NOT TO. ALL WHILE PROMISING HIS LEGAL FIGHT IS NOT OVER. >> THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY KNOW IT'S A HOAX. YOU KNOW THEY'RE REALLY SMART. AND, IT'S REALLY SOMETHING. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE APPEALING THIS SCAM. >> SO THAT'S THE SCENE AT TRUMP TOWER. LET ME TALK ABOUT THE SCENE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. THAT WAS THE BACKDROP FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN. ALSO IN THE LAST FEW HOURS FOR THE FIRST TIME SPEAKING PUBLICLY ABOUT HIS PREDECESSOR'S CONVICTION. LISTEN TO THIS. >> AS RECKLESS, AS DANGEROUS, IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO SAY THIS WAS RIGGED JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE THE VERDICT. >> AND THE SCENE YOU SEE HIM OUTSIDE TRUMP TOWER HERE. SOME SUPPORTERS FLYING FLAGS LIKE THAT ONE THAT SAYS TRUMP OR DEATH. AS ONE WATCHDOG GROUP TELLS US ABOUT NEW RIGHT WING THREATS ON SOCIAL MEDIA PUSHING TO DOX THE JURORS. THEY DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THAT. YOU PROBABLY HAVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? WILL DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY GO TO PRISON? VERY, VERY UNLIKELY. BUT WE'LL GET THE ANSWER FOR SURE ON THAT DATE, JULY 11th. JUST FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. CAN DONALD TRUMP STILL BE PRESIDENT? SURE. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT WOULD STOP HIM. HE WILL BE NAMED THE NOMINEE. VIRTUALLY NO CHANCE OF GETTING KICKED OFF THE TICKET. HE CAN WIN. IF HE DOES WIN, HE CANNOT PARDON HIMSELF BECAUSE THESE ARE STATE CRIMES. HOW WILL HE CAMPAIGN? HE IS PROMISING TO GET BACK ON THE TRAIL. WE WILL HEAR MORE FROM VOTERS IN KEY BATTLEGROUNDS IN A MINUTE BUT I WANT TO START HERE IN NEW YORK WITH VAUGHN HILLYARD WHO HAS COVERED EVERY DAY AT THE TRIAL. YOU WERE AT TRUMP TOWER WITH ME WHEN YOU SAW THE FORMER PRESIDENT AT WHAT WAS BILLED AS A PRESS CONFERENCE. NO QUESTIONS. HE JUST DELIVERED WHAT WOULD HAVE FELT AT HOME AT A RALLY AND PIECES OF IT MAY HAVE FELT LIKE IT COULD HAVE BEEN DELIVERED ON THE STAND IN COURT. HE CHOSE NOT TO TESTIFY. BUT YOU GOT A TASTE OF WHAT THAT MIGHT HAVE FELT LIKE FOR HIM IF HE HAD CHOSEN TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. >> HE BLASTED THE WITNESSES. NOT BY NAME, BUT INCLUDING MICHAEL COHEN WHO IS AT THE HEART OF THIS CASE AGAINST HIM. HE BLASTED WHAT HE CALLED BAD PEOPLE. REFERRING TO JOE BIDEN AND ALVIN BRAGG. MAKING BLANKET STATEMENTS ABOUT THOSE WHO ULTIMATELY SOUGHT JUSTICE FROM HIM. >> I'M HONORED TO BE INVOLVED IN IT. SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT. BUT I'M HONORED TO BE INVOLVED BECAUSE WE ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR CONSTITUTION. >> DONALD TRUMP, THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAME IN TO TRUMP TOWER HERE TODAY REMORSEFUL OR REGRETFUL. INSTEAD, HE SUGGESTED THEY ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE APPEAL AND HE CONTINUED TO SAY HE DID NOTHING WRONG AND EVERYBODY HAS NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS. THIS IS FOR DONALD TRUMP. HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TESTIFY. HE BYPASSED DOING SO AND THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS WHETHER HE MAY REGRET THAT. THIS IS A MOMENT WHERE HE SAID NOVEMBER 5th WILL BE THE REAL VERDICT DAY OF COURSE. THAT'S ELECTION DAY. >> AND IT WILL BE UP TO VOTERS. LISTEN, HE HAS CALLED THIS A BIDEN WITCH HUNT AGAINST HIM. THESE WERE STATE CHARGES, NOT FEDERAL. HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HERE. WE TALKED ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN. THE PROSECUTION STAR WITNESS HERE. MR. TRUMP'S FORMER ATTORNEY. HE ALLUDED TO MICHAEL COHEN. DIDN'T QUITE SAY HIS NAME. BUT THERE MAY BE SOME GAG ORDER TOWING OF THE LINE HERE. THOUGH HE CALLED MICHAEL COHEN A SLEAZE BAG, HE IS STILL UNDER THE ORDER. >> JULY 11th IS THE DAY OF HIS SENTENCING SO THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME. AND THERE IS A LOT JUDGE MERCHAN CAN LOOK AT WHEN MAKING THE DETERMINATION OF WHAT IT WILL BE. IS IT JAIL TIME, PROBATION AND A FINE. AND YOU WILL UNDOUBTEDLY LIKELY HAVE JUDGE MERCHAN LOOKING AT THE FACT HE FOUND DONALD TRUMP TO VIOLATE HIS GAG ORDER TEN TIMES ALREADY DURING THE COURSE OF THIS TRIAL. AND FOR HIM, CONTINUING TO GO AND MAKE THESE ASSERTIONS, HE IS TAKING SOMEBODY ON WHO COULD BE A PART OF THE APPEALS PROCESS. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE POLITICAL FALL-OUT. INCLUDING HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON. THE POWERFUL REPUBLICAN IN CONGRESS. COMING OUT AND SAYING THIS TODAY. WATCH. >> I DO BELIEVE THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD STEP IN. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED AND DANGEROUS TO OUR SYSTEM. I THINK THE JUSTICES ON THE COURT, I KNOW MANY OF THEM PERSONALLY. I THINK THEY ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS WE ARE. SO I THINK THEY WILL SET THIS STRAIGHT. IT WILL TAKE A WHILE. >> SUPER INTERESTING ON A LOT OF LEVELS THERE. WHEN YOU UNPACK WHAT THE SPEAKER IS SAYING BUT THE BIGGER PICTURE REALITY OF THIS IS THAT IT SHOWS JUST HOW UNIFIED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS BEHIND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TO THE DEGREE THAT NOT EVEN MIKE PENCE, HIS FORMER RUNNING MATE WHO WILL NOT ENDORSE HIM, HE SAID, IN 2024, IS ECHOING SOME OF THAT LANGUAGE THAT HE SAYS HE BELIEVES THIS IS A DISSERVICE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> LARGELY, THIS IS HOW DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN ABLE TO HOLD HON TO POWER. HOLD ONTO BEING THE NOMINEE. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE VYING TO BE HIS VP. IF YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE JD VANCE. RIGHT? THIS IS FOR THEM, THIS IS SORT OF STANDING IN SOLIDARITY, PERHAPS SURPRISINGLY, MITCH MCCONNELL SUGGESTING THAT THIS WOULD BE OVERTURNED AT AN APPEAL HERE. AND THERE ARE PLENTY. THIS IS HOW THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WORKS. DONALD TRUMP HAS THE RIGHT TO GO. >> AND PRESIDENT BIDEN NOTED THAT. LIKE ANY OTHER AMERICAN, DONALD TRUMP CAN APPEAL. HE HAS SAID HE WILL. THAT'S NOT A SNAP OF THE FINGERS THING. THAT'S NOT GOING TO GET WRAPPED UP BEFORE THE ELECTION. >> AND THAT'S THE HARD PART. A LOT OF THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT ONCE. THERE WERE 12 NEW YORKERS THAT WERE THE JURORS AND HIS OWN DEFENSE TEAM ONLY PROTESTED IN CHALLENGE FOR ONLY ONE OF THOSE 12 JURORS. THEY DIDN'T PUT UP A FIGHT AGAINST 11 OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS SITTING ON THE JURY. AND SO, DONALD TRUMP IGNORES THOSE REALITIES AND FOCUSES ON THE JUDGE. AND THIS IS THE PART WHERE HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY PUSHBACK. AND THAT SENTENCING FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION IS NOTABLE. THAT IS WHEN HE WOULD BE FORMALLY NOMINATED TO BE THE GOP NOMINEE. >> REAL QUICK, NEXT LEGAL PIVOT POINT FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT WILL BE LIKELY WHEN THE SUPREME COURT MAKES A DECISION, PROBABLY IN THE NEXT MONTH ON THAT IMMUNITY CLAIM HE IS BRINGING IN A SEPARATE FEDERAL CASE ON THE ELECTION INTERFERENCE. >> WE HAVE BEEN WAITING EVERY WEEK FOR THE SUPREME COURT. AND WE DON'T HAVE IT BUT A LOT IS RIDING ON IT. PARTICULARLY IN THE FEDERAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE. >> VAUGHN HILLYARD, THANK YOU. GREAT TO SEE YOU. DAVID JOINS US NOW FROM NEVADA. ONE OF THE KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES COME NOVEMBER. WHAT'S BEEN INTERESTING, DAVID, ABOUT A THIRD OF VOTERS IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES, ONLY ABOUT A THIRD, 30%. SAY THEY HAVE BEEN PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S LEGAL ISSUES. AND YET THERE IS A QUESTION MARK AS TO HOW THIS WILL AFFECT THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LOT. THERE ARE SOME WHO SUGGEST THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. THIS CONVICTION. SOME SUGGEST THIS CHANGES NOTHING. THE REALITY IS PROBABLY SOMEWHERE IN THE VERY WIDE MIDDLE. >> Reporter: THE VIEW FROM HERE ON THE GROUND, IN A VERY PURPLE COUNTY IS THAT LIKELY THERE WILL BE SOME KIND OF EFFECT BUT IT IS REALLY HARD TO KNOW EXACTLY IN WHICH DIRECTION IT IS GOING TO GO OR BY HOW MUCH. WE SPOKE TO A BUNCH OF VOTERS THIS MORNING. THE ONE THING I HEARD CONSISTENTLY THAT REALLY STOOD OUT MORE ME BECAUSE IT CAME FROM PEOPLE ACROSS THE SPECTRUM. PEOPLE WHO LOVE AND HATE DONALD TRUMP AND PEOPLE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. IT DIDN'T REALLY CHANGE THEIR PERCEPTION WHY IT IS A LITTLE HARD TO MEASURE OR READ TO THE EFFECT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE. THOUGH IT IS SO SIGNIFICANT. SO MOMENTOUS. THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WILL PLAY YOU A FEW CLIPS OF THE INTERVIEWS WE HAVE DONE. A PRETTY REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF VOTERS FROM HERE IN RENO. TAKE A LOOK. >> IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BOGUS. IT WILL HELP HIM WIN. >> TELL ME MORE. >> I HAVE BEEN A TRUMP SUPPORTER SINCE 2016. VOTED FOR HIM TWICE, PLANNING ON VOTING AGAIN. YESTERDAY JUST CEMENTED THAT FACT FOR ME. >> IT IS PRETTY CLEAR. IF THAT IS WHAT THEY FEEL THE EVIDENCE IS INDICATING THEN I THINK IT IS CORRECT AND IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. >> Reporter: THAT LAST GUY, HALLIE, HE IS A LIBERTARIAN WHO IS CONSIDERING A VOTE FOR BIDEN. BUT ONLY AS A VOTE AGAINST TRUMP. BUT HE HASN'T DECIDED YET. AND HE SAID THE VERDICT HAS NO IMPACT ON THAT CALCULATION. HIS DECISION WILL BE MOSTLY BASED ON POLLING. THAT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH. >> THE COUNTY THAT YOU ARE IN, SIMILAR TO THAT ONE, HUGE FOR THIS PRESIDENTIAL RACE. THE MARGINS ARE SO, SO CLOSE HERE. THAT EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF A SWING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BIG TIME TO DONALD TRUMP UNDER DEMOCRATS, NOW REPUBLICANS THINK IT COULD BE IN PLAY. RIGHT? >> YEAH. SO, IN THE LAST THREE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS HERE IN WASHOE COUNTY, THE VOTE HAS GONE TO THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE. IT WAS VERY TIGHT. ABOUT A POINT BETWEEN TRUMP AND HILLARY CLINTON. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATEWIDE POLLING AVERAGES FOR NEVADA RIGHT NOW, THOUGH, TRUMP IS UP BY A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT. BY MORE THAN FIVE POINTS. SO THAT IS WHY, THE EFFECT THIS WILL HAVE REALLY MATTER INS COUNTIES LIKE THIS ONE. I WILL SAY, JUST LAST THING BEFORE I LEAVE YOU, I TALKED TODAY ONE GUY WHO SAID HE WAS GOING TO REGISTER TO VOTE TODAY. SPECIFICALLY TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP. AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE VERDICT, ONLY BECAUSE HE HIMSELF WAS CONVICTED OF A FELONY SOME YEARS AGO AND SPENT SOME TIME IN PRISON AND KNOWS WHAT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM DOES TO PEOPLE. THERE IS AT LEAST ONE GUY, HALLIE, WHO WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP AS A RESULT OF THIS. WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY THIS IS GOING TO PUSH THE NEEDLE. IT IS REALLY UNPREDICTABLE. >> GLAD TO HAVE YOU THERE IN VEGAS TONIGHT. IN NEVADA. I SHOULD SAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>> RIGHT BEFORE WE CAME ON THE AIR, HAMAS RESPONDING TO ISRAEL'S PROPOSAL TO TRY TO END THE WAR IN GAZA. PRESIDENT BIDEN ANNOUNCED A LITTLE EARLIER, WITH HAMAS SAYING VIEWS THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH POSITIVELY. >> THIS IS TRULY A DECISIVE MOMENT. ISRAEL HAS MADE THEIR PROPOSAL. HAMAS SAYS IT WANTS A CEASE FIRE. THIS DEAL IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE WHETHER THEY REALLY MEAN IT. >> THIS WILL BE A THREE-PART PLAN THE PRESIDENT SAYS WOULD HOPEFULLY LEAD TO A PERMANENT CEASE FIRE IN GAZA AND THE RELEASE OF ALL HOSTAGES HELDLY HAMAS. THE OFFICE FOR THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER IN A STATEMENT NOT LONG AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT SAYING THEIR GOVERNMENT IS UNITED IN THE DESIRE TO RETURN OUR ABDUCTEES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. JOSH JOINS US NOW. SO HERE, SUDDENLY TONIGHT ON THIS FRIDAY EVENING WE HAVE DEVELOPMENTS AS IT RELATE TO THIS WAR BETWEEN HAMAS AND ISRAEL THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON MORE THAN SIX MONTHS. WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE? >> ACCORDING TO PRESIDENT BIDEN, THIS WOULD BE A THREE PHASE PLAN THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY LEAD TO THE END OF THE WAR. IN THE FIRST PHASE WHICH WOULD LAST ABOUT SIX WEEKS, THERE WOULD BE THE RELEASE OF MANY OF THE ISRAELI HOSTAGES. NAMELY WOMEN AND THE ELDERLY. IN EXCHANGE FOR PALESTINIAN PRISONERS AND THERE WOULD ALSO BE A WITHDRAWAL OF ISRAELI FORCES FROM THE MAJOR POPULATED AREAS. THE CITY IN THE GAZA STRIP. AND A FULL CEASE FIRE. AND THEY WOULD USE THAT TO TRY TO NEGOTIATE A SECOND PHASE IN WHICH ISRAEL WOULD COMPLETELY PULL ITS TROOPS OUT OF THE GAZA STRIP AND ALL THE REMAINING HOSTAGES. , THE ISRAELI MEN AND MILITARY MEMBERS. ULTIMATELY, THERE WOULD BE A THIRD PHASE WHICH FOCUSES ON RECONSTRUCTION, REBUILDING THE HOSPITALS. SCHOOLS, EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAS BEEN DESTROYED IN THE GAY A GAZA STRIP, AS WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, IT DOESN'T LINE UP WITH HOW ISRAEL CHARACTERIZES WHAT IT HAS AGREED TO. IN THAT STATEMENT, THE PRIME MINISTER SAYS THE DEAL INCLUDES THEY WOULD NOT END THE WAR UNTIL HAMAS IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED IN TERMS OF ITS ABILITY TO RUN AS A MILITARY OR GOVERNING ORGANIZATION. WHETHER HAMAS AGREES TO ITS OWN DEMISE IS VERY UNCLEAR. AND IT IS NOT PART OF WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE INCLUDED IN ITS VERSION OF EVENTS. SO WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF DISTANCE THERE. WE SEE THE ISRAELI MILITARY GO DEEPER INTO RAFAH EXPANDING THE OFFENSIVE THERE. BASED ON YOUR REPORTING AND TIME IN THE REGION OF COURSE, WHERE DO YOU SEE THE ROADBLOCKS OR THE HURDLES TO AN AGREEMENT HERE BEYOND THE OBVIOUS? >> Reporter: WHAT DOES THE END OF THE WAR MEAN? ISRAEL'S COURSE WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF. HAMAS MAY LOOK AT THAT AND SAY THEY ARE GOING TO END THE WAR. YOU HEARD THE WHITE HOUSE AND PRESIDENT BIDEN TODAY TRY TO SORT OF SUGGEST, WELL, THAT'S ALREADY PRETTY MUCH DONE. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID HAMAS ALREADY CANNOT COMMIT ANOTHER OCTOBER 7th. THEY HAVE BEEN SO DEGRADED. AND SO, JUST HOW MUCH HAMAS HAS TO BE DESTROYED FOR THIS DEAL TO WORK AND WHETHER HAMAS WOULD AGREE TO THAT IS ANOTHER HUGE STICKING POINT WE'LL HAVE TO SEE IRONED OUT BEFORE THIS GOES ANYWHERE. >> JOSH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>> BACK AT HOME IN NEW YORK, POLICE ARE STEPPING UP SECURITY AHEAD OF THE ISRAEL DAY PARADE. THE MAYOR SAYS THEY ARE READY FOR ANYTHING. >> WE WANTED TO SHOW THE UNIFIED FORCE THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW ANY UNLAWFULNESS IN ANY DISRUPTION OF ANY CELEBRATION OF ANYONE'S HERITAGE IN THE CITY. >> SOME 40,000 PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO BE AT THE PARADE. WHICH IS WHY POLICE ARE WARNING EXTREMISTS COULD SEE THIS AS A WAY TO CREATE SOME VIOLENCE. IN AN ASSESSMENT FROM POLICE, THEY NOTED THE CURRENT THREAT ENVIRONMENT FOR ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IS PARTICULARLY SEVERE. WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT A DRIVER WHO ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO RUN PEOPLE OVER OUTSIDE A JEWISH SCHOOL IN BROOKLYN. WHILE YELLING ANTISEMITIC THINGS ACCORDING TO THE POLICE. YOU SEE IT HERE. LOOK AT THE VIDEO. FORTUNATELY, NOBODY WAS HURT. ERIN MCLAUGHLIN JOINS US NOW. THE SUSPECT HAS BEEN ARRESTED. >> Reporter: THE INCIDENTS UNFOLDED AROUND 11:30 IN THE MORNING. THE SUSPECT, 58 YEARS OLD DRIVING THE WHITE CAR. JUMPED THE SIDEWALK, NOT FAR FROM WHERE I AM STANDING. AND VEERED TOWARD A TWO-STUDENT AND RABBI RIGHT OUTSIDE THE JEWISH SCHOOL WHERE I'M STANDING RIGHT NOW. NOW, THE SUSPECT DROVE OFF. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH GROUP IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. WAS APPREHENDED AND CHARGED WITH A HATE CRIME. WE HAVE THE CHARGES HERE. LET'S PULL THEM UP. ATTEMPTED MURDER AS A HATE CRIME. ATTEMPTED ASSAULT AS A HATE CRIME. ATTEMPTED VEHICULAR ASSAULT. MENACING AS A HATE CRIME. AS WELL AS RECKLESS DRIVING. NOW, THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE VERY SAME DAY A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY WAS CHARGED, ALSO WITH AN ANTISEMITIC HATE CRIME FOR ALLEGEDLY PUNCHING AND KICKING TWO JEWISH CHILDREN. ALL OF THIS IS PART OF WHAT HAS BEEN A WAVE OF ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE IN NEW YORK CITY. >> THE SECURITY THREAT NOW, AND, THE ENVIRONMENT, THE TENSION FOR JEWISH INDIVIDUALS THERE IN NEW YORK IN THE STATE AND IN THE CITY HERE >> Reporter: THE ISRAEL DAY PARADE HAS HAPPENED IN NEW YORK CITY FOR SOME 60 YEARS. IT IS A CELEBRATION OF THE STATE. I HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE EARLIER TODAY. OUTLINING SOME OF THE MEASURES, YOU SEE THEM ON THE SCREEN THERE. THEY ARE INCREASING POLICE PRESENCE. SCREENING AT CHECK POINTS. THEY ARE HAVING THE PARADE ROUTE FORTIFIED WITH ADDITIONAL FENCING. AS, THEY ARE TELLING ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ATTEND THE PARADE, NO LARGE BAGS, COOLERS, ALCOHOL PERMITTED. THERE WILL BE COUNTERTERRORISM PERSONNEL AT THE PARADE AS WELL. DRONES AND BOMB SNIFFING DOBS. IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY ARE TAKING EVERY PRECAUTION POSSIBLE GIVEN THE FACT THIS IS THE FIRST BIG JEWISH EVENT THAT NEW YORK CITY HAS HOSTED SINCE THE OCTOBER 7th TERRORIST ATTACKS. >> ERIN, THANK YOU. >>> TO CONNECTICUT WHERE WE WANT TO SHOW YOU THE WOMAN FOUND GUILTY OF CONSPIRING TO MURDER A MOTHER OF FIVE. YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE HER BEING LED AWAY. 14-AND-A-HALF YEARS IN PRISON. GOING TO PULL THAT VIDEO UP IN JUST A SECOND. MICHELLE DRACONIS CLEARLY DISTRAUGHT. SHE WAS LOOKING AT THE CHILDREN OF JENNIFER DOULA. SHE DISAPPEARED AFTER DROPPING HER KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL. HER HUSBAND ALLEGEDLY KILLED HER. HE DENIED IT AND DIED BY SUICIDE. THEIR KIDS SPEAKING TODAY IN COURT IN A VERY EMOTIONAL MOMENT. >> I HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH A HOLE INSIDE OF ME THAT I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FILL. YOU HAVE JUST THE LEAST BIT OF HUMANITY, I SUGGEST YOU LET ALL OF US KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY AND WHERE MY MOTHER IS. DO THE RIGHT THING, MICHELLE. >> SHANNON MILLER IS AN ANCHOR WITH OUR NBC CONNECTICUT STATION. TALK US THROUGH TODAY. WHAT IT WAS LIKE BEING IN COURT. >> Reporter: YEAH, HALLIE, THIS ALL COMING FIVE YEARS AFTER JENNIFER DULO'S DISAPPEARANCE. SHE WAS MURDERED INSIDE OF HER HOME, THAT VERY HOME SHE HAD TAKEN ALL OF HER FIVE CHILDREN TO, TO TRY TO START A NEW LIFE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BITTER AND BRUTAL DIVORCE BATTLE. NOW THAT VERDICT FOR MICHELLE CAME BACK ON MARCH 1st. THIS WAS THREE MONTHS AGO SHE HAS BEEN BEHIND BARS WAITING FOR THE SENTENCING. TODAY, THE JURY THEN FOUND HER GUILTY ON ALL SIX COUNTS THAT SHE FACED IN CONNECTION WITH JENNIFER DULOS'S MURDER. INCLUDING THE COUNT OF CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER. SHE WAS SET TO FACE, HALLIE, UP TO 50 YEARS IN PRISON. FOR THAT VERY CHARGE. TODAY WE HEARD FROM POWERFUL WITNESS AND VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENTS FROM JENNIFER'S CHILDREN. WHEN HER SON SPOKE DIRECTLY TO THE JUDGE AND TURNED TO THE DEFENDANT HERSELF TO SAY YOU ARE NOT THE WOMAN THAT WE THOUGHT YOU WERE. >> SO MANY EMOTIONAL MOMENTS IN COURT. TRACONIS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AND SHE CHOSE TO DO SO. RIGHT? >> Reporter: YES, SHE SURE DID. SO, WE HEARD, FIRST, HALLIE, FROM ABOUT 20 PLUS MEMBERS OF MICHELLE'S FAMILY. FRIENDS, WE HEARD, WE LISTENED TO VIDEO STATEMENTS, THERE WERE 60 PLUS LETTERS SUBMITTED TO THE JUDGE FOR HIM TO CONSIDER. AT THE VERY END OF THE DAY, WE HEARD FROM MICHELLE'S DAUGHTER WHO AGAIN TOLD THE COURT SHE IS NOT THE WOMAN THAT INVESTIGATORS PORTRAYED HER AS. THAT HE LED HER TO BELIEVE HE WAS SOMEONE HE WASN'T. AND SHE WAS AN INNOCENT PERSON IN ALL OF THIS. MICHELLE SAID I'M DEEPLY SADDENED BY THIS TRAGEDY THAT AFFECTED SO MANY LIVES. I FOUND OUT THINGS BEFORE AND DURING THE TRIAL ABOUT A MAN I KNEW AND LOVED. I DEEPLY REGRET EVER BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. AND EVER BRINGING MY DAUGHTER, MY FAMILY, AND MYSELF INTO HIS LIFE. SO AGAIN, SHE STILL MAINTAINS SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT JENNIFER'S DISAPPEARANCE AND MURDER. BUT THAT EMOTIONAL STATEMENT WE HEARD TODAY, LEADING TO THE MOMENT WHERE THE JUDGE CAME DOWN WITH THE SENTENCING. >> WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON THE SHOW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR OUR REPORTING. >>> NEARLY 6 MILLION PEOPLE ARE AT RISK. YET AGAIN OF SEVERE STORMS. STOP ME IF YOU HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE. SOME OF THESE FOLK HAVES BEEN GETTING HAMMERED THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. OVERNIGHT TORNADOES RIPPING THROUGH TEXAS. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE STILL DON'T HAVE POWER. OUR WEATHER TEAM TELLS US THIS PAST MONTH, MAY, WILL GO DOWN AS THE MOST ACTIVE MAY FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN MORE THAN A DECADE. SOME 6,000 STORM REPORTS THIS MONTH ALONE. JUNE ISN'T LOOKING MUCH BETTER. WALK US THROUGH IT. >> WE SHOULD BE AROUND 770 ON AVERAGE. WE ARE 300 HIGHER THAN A NORMAL AVERAGE YEAR. SO YEAH, IT IS NOT JUST YOU WATCHING THE NEWS. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TORNADOES. WE ARE HEADED INTO MORE SUMMER LIKE TORNADO SEASON. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES UP. THIS IS AREAS. OF NORTH TEXAS. BIG HAIL. WE WILL GET THE DAMAGING HAIL AND WIND REPORTS. THAT IS AT 11:00. OTHER AREAS WE HAVE TO WATCH FOR A CHANCE OF STRONG STORMS, MAYBE ISOLATED FROM LITTLE ROCK DOWN TO LOUISIANA. AS I MENTIONED THIS IS A LOT SMALLER POPULATION. THERE'S A LOT LESS GEOGRAPHIC AREAS. TOMORROW AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY, DENVER OUT INTO EASTERN COLORADO, GARDEN CITY, BACK DOWN TO WEST TEXAS. BY THE TIME WE GET TO SUNDAY, A SMALL AREA HERE IN THE DAKOTAS BACK INTO NEBRASKA. WE ARE ONLY IN TWO OUT OF FIVE. THAT'S THE COLORING ON THESE. THE ODDS AND THE WIDESPREADNESS OF THE STORMS WILL BE A LOT LESS. SO HERE IS YOUR WEEKEND FORECAST. AS WE HEAD THROUGH YOUR SATURDAY. WE ARE GOING TO WATCH THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. THAT IS WHERE WE WILL HAVE SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS. EAST COAST, ABOUT AS NICE AS IT GETS FOR EARLY SUMMER WEEKEND. THE HEAT WILL BUILD AS WE GO INTO SUNDAY FROM PHOENIX NORTHWARD, 110. THE EAST COAST IS PRETTY GOOD. I'M HAPPY TO SAY AS WE START JUNE, IT LOOKED A LOT LETTER THAN WHAT WE JUST GOT DONE WITH. >> MUSIC TO THE EARS OF SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE HEART LAND. GOOD TO SEE YOU BILL KARINS. >>> STILL AHEAD, WHEN JOE MANCHIN SAYS HE IS NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT. AND THE HONOR GIVEN THAT NO ONE HAD FOR DECADES. >>> YOU KNOW, IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS, BUT THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPION, NOT THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES, ENDED UP VISITING THE WHITE HOUSE TO CELEBRATE THEIR WIN. THE CHIEFS, PATRICK MAHOMES. TAYLOR SWIFT'S BOYFRIEND THERE. AND, THE ONE WHO URGED WOMEN TO DEVOTE THEMSELVES TO THEIR KIDS AND CHILDREN. ALLEY, THEY TALKED ABOUT THE SHOOTING AT THE VICTORY PARADE BACK IN JANUARY, TWO. >> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT. AND FOR DECADES THIS TRADITION HAS BEEN SEEN AS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST LIGHT HEARTED A PRESIDENT COULD PARTICIPATE IN. BUT YOU ALSO KNOW HOW THAT HAS SHIFTED IN RECENT YEARS ACROSS SEVERAL ADMINISTRATIONS AS POLITICIANS HAVE WEAVED ITS WAY IN. SO THERE WAS A LOT OF CONTROVERSY. A LOT OF QUESTIONS. THIS EVENT TODAY SPECIFICALLY AND WHETHER THEY WOULD BE ANY MAYBE AWKWARD MOMENTS AFTER WE HEARD HIS COMMENCEMENT SPEECH AT THAT CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY EARLIER THIS MONTH IN WHICH HE CRITICIZED BIDEN, DEVOUT CATHOLIC, FOR HIS POLICIES ON ABORTION, HIS POLICIES ON COVID- 19. HE ALSO CRITICIZED HIS VIEW ON THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. HE CALLED FOR WOMEN TO END THEIR CAREERS TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH FAMILY. AND SO, THERE WERE A LOT OF EYES ON WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE. WHETHER THE WHITE HOUSE WOULD REVOKE HIS INVITATION OR WHETHER HE WOULD SKIP OUT ON THIS EVENT ALTOGETHER. WE DID SEE HIM IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY. HE WAS STANDING IN THE BACK ROW AS THE PRESIDENT WELCOMED THE CHIEF FOR A SECOND YEAR IN A ROW TO THE WHITE HOUSE. HE WAS EVEN SMILING WHEN THE PRESIDENT GAVE A SPECIAL SHUT- OUT TO HIS TEAMMATE TRAVIS KELCE. AS WELL AS WHEN THE PRESIDENT PUT ON THIS CHIEFS HELMET THE TEAM GIFTED HIM. WHILE WE DIDN'T SEE ANY ONE ON ONE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND BUTKER, THE CHIEFS PARTED IN A ROUND TABLE WITH THE OFFICE OF GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION TO TALK ABOUT HOW IT EFFECTS SPECIFICALLY THE NATION'S YOUTH. THAT IS ESPECIALLY PERSONAL TO THE PLAYERS GIVEN THAT SHOOTING AT THEIR VICTORY PARADE IN KANSAS CITY IN FEBRUARY, THE PRESIDENT COMMENTING ON THAT DURING HIS SPEECH. LISTEN HERE. >> WE SAW FRIDAY. GIVING WAY TO TRAGEDY. A LOVING MOM, BELOVED LOCAL D.J. WAS GUNNED DOWN. DOZENS WERE INJURED. 11 KIDS IN THE HOSPITAL. AMID THE CHAOS, THIS TEAM STEPPED UP AGAIN. TREY, JAMES WHO LOST HIS OWN FATHER TO GUN VIOLENCE REASSURED KIDS THEY WOULD BE OKAY. >> Reporter: AND HALLIE, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T MENTION ALL THE INTEREST AND CURIOSITY OVER WHETHER TAYLOR SWIFT WOULD ACCOMPANY THE TEAM TO THE WHITE HOUSE. SHE WAS NOTABLY ABSENCE. SHE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EUROPEAN LEG OF HER ERAS TOUR. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>> LET'S GET YOU TO THE FIVE THINGS OUR TEAM THINKS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. TWO U.S. OFFICIALS TELL NBC NEWS THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN SECRETLY GAVE UKRAINE PERMISSION TO STRIKE RUSSIA. THIS AFOURTH APPLIES ONLY TO CERTAIN AREAS. >>> NUMBER TWO, THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT REJECTING THE LATEST CHALLENGE TO ONE OF THE MOST RESTRICTIVE ABORTION BANS IN THE COUNTRY. NEARLY TWO DOZEN WOMEN WERE PART OF THIS LAWSUIT. SOME CLAIMING THEY WERE DENIED ABORTIONs THOUGH THEY HAD SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS. THEY WERE LOOKING FOR MORE CLARIFICATIONS ON EXEMPTIONS TO THE LAW. >>> NUMBER THREE, THE COST OF A LOT OF INHALERS ARE ABOUT TO GO DOWN THANKS TO PRICE CAPS ON ASTHMA MS. TWO OF THE BIGGEST MANUFACTURERS WILL PUT A LIMIT ON THEIR PRODUCTS. THE AVERAGE PRICE OF INHALERS THE LAST 15 YEARS HAS GONE UP 900%. A THIRD COMPANY IS EXPECTED TO HAVE THE SAME CAP IN PLACE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. >>> WEST VIRGINIA SENATOR JOE MANCHIN IS ANNOUNCING HE IS LEAVING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND REGISTERING AS AN INDEPENDENT. HE HAS LONG BEEN CONSIDERED THE MOST CONSERVATIVE MEMBER OF THE SENATE DEMS. HE SAID IN A VIDEO THE AMERICAN BRAND IS WHAT HE CARRIES MOST PROUDLY. AND THAT HE CAN DO MORE WITHOUT A D OR R NEXT TO HIS NAME. THE LONG TIME SENATOR SAID HE WOULDN'T RUN FOR REELECTION FOR HIS SENATE SEAT BUT THERE ARE QUESTIONING ABOUT WHETHER HE MIGHT END UP DOING THAT. >>> NUMBER FIVE, THE FOUR MEMBERS OF ABBA GETTING ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS KNIGHTHOODS IN SWEDEN. THIS PARTICULAR ORDER HAS NOT BEEN HANDED OUT IN 50 YEARS. THEY WERE GIVEN THE HONOR FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING EFFORT IN SWEDISH AND INTERNATIONAL MUSIC. THE BAND WAS NOMINATED BY THE PUBLIC AND LAWMAKERS FOR THIS. >>> COMING UP, WE WILL LOOK AT WHETHER A WOMAN PRESIDENT WILL BE ABLE TO TAMP DOWN THE VIOLENCE LIVE IN MEXICO CITY. AND OUR JANIS MACKEY FRAYER IS ON THE GROUND. NEXT. >>> NEWS FOR THE GENERATION OF NOW IS NBC NEWS NOW. >> 48 HOURS FROM NOW, VOTERS IN MEXICO WILL BE HEADING TO THE POLLS FOR AN HISTORIC ELECTION. THE TWO LEADING CANDIDATES ARE BOTH WOMEN FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL HAS BEEN BLOODY PARKED BY POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND DOZENS OF MURDERS. GUAD VENEGAS IS IN MEXICO CITY WITH MORE. >> Reporter: AN ELECTION CYCLE STAINED BY BLOOD. NO ONE MANY MEXICO SEEM TO BE SAFE. CANDIDATES, CAMPAIGN WORKERS, POLITICAL PARTY MEMBERS AND RELATIVES ALL TARGETS OF POLITICAL VIOLENCE. JUST THIS WEEK, MAYORAL CANDIDATE CABRERA SHOT AND KILLED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT DURING THE FINAL RALLY OF HIS CAMPAIGN. THE COLD-BLOODED KILLING COMING WEEKS AFTER ASSASSINS GUNNED DOWN ANOTHER CANDIDATE WHILE SHE CAMPAIGNED IN THE TOWN OF CONCORDIA. LOCAL POLITICIANS KILLED BY LOCAL GANGS. >> WE ARE TALKING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CANDIDATES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY IN VERY PARTICULAR POSITIONS IN VERY LOCAL PLACES WHERE THE GANGS OPERATE. >> Reporter: THE GANGS ARE OFTEN FIGHTING FOR CONTROL OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH MUCH LARGER CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES. >> THE CRIMINAL LANDSCAPE IN MEXICO REALLY CONSTITUTED BY TWO TO 300 DIFFERENT GROUPS. THAT CONTROL SMALL CITIES. SO IF THEY FIND A CANDIDATE IS EFFECTIVELY SAYING THEY WILL FIGHT ORGANIZED CRIMES, THEY WILL CERTAINLY WANT TO BUNK THAT CANDIDATE DOWN. >> Reporter: AS OF TUESDAY, 316 CANDIDATES HAD FACED POLITICAL VIOLENCE. SINCE SEPTEMBER, 34 OF THOSE HAD BEEN ASSASSINATED ACCORDING TO A RECENT REPORT. AND EXPERTS SAY THE RISING VIOLENCE IS ACTUALLY A SYMPTOM OF AMERICA'S SHIFT FROM SINGLE PARTY RULING TO DEMOCRACY. >> WE WENT TO SPLIT OF GOVERNMENT AND ORGANIZED CRIME WITH A LOT OF WEAPONS. THEY SOMETIMES HAVE MORE FIRE POWER THAN POLICE FORCES EVEN IN THE ARMY. >> Reporter: IN NORTHERN MEXICO, EDGAR MONTIEL IS RUNNING FOR THE STATE LEGISLATURE. HIS CITY IS ONE OF THE EPICENTERS OF CARTEL VIOLENCE. THREE OF HIS OPPONENTS HAVE ASKED EXTRA SECURITY AND HIS FRIEND WAS KILLED BY JOGGING. A POLITICAL ADVISER. TELLING US, I FEAR BECAUSE I ALSO LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE MIGRANTS COME TO FIND SMUGGLERS, TAKING THEM TO THE U.S. AND I'M SURROUNDED BY THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY. ADDING THAT IT TAKES OVER THREE DAYS TO SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR PROTECTION AND MORE TIME FOR APPROVAL FROM AUTHORITIES. DESPITE THE VIOLENCE, THIS WEEK MEXICAN PRESIDENT PUSHING ON REPORTS FROM EXPERTS SAYING THE NUMBERS ARE EXAGGERATED. THE GOVERNMENT REPORTING A MUCH LOWER NUMBER. 22 CANDIDATES OR ASPIRING CANDIDATES KILLED THIS ELECTION CYCLE. WHATEVER ACCOUNTS FOR THE DISCREPANCY, THERE IS REAL CONCERN AMONG CANDIDATES WITH ANOTHER ASSASSINATION TAKING PLACE THIS WEEK. SO FAR, MORE THAN 500 CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN GIVEN SECURITY OR EXTRA PROTECTION ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL ELECTORAL INSTITUTE. EVEN THE LEADING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WAS RECENTLY STOPPED BY A GROUP OF MASKED MEN. IRONICALLY, THEIR MESSAGE WAS A PLEA FOR PROTECTION FOR THEIR COMMUNITY WITH THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE SEEKING OFFICE HAVE BEEN ASSASSINATED. A TROUBLING REALITY FOR MEXICO WHERE RUNNING FOR OFFICE MAY LITERALLY MEAN FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE. >> GUAD VENEGAS JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM MEXICO CITY. WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE YOU THERE, GUAD. BUT WITH ALL THE VIOLENCE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE SURE SUNDAY IS SAFE AND SECURE? >> Reporter: SO, HALLIE, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ANNOUNCE THAT FOR THE LAST TWO OR THREE WEEKS THEY DID HAVE 260,000 MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES. THESE ARE MARINES. PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT MILITARY INCLUDING THE ARMY. AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL GUARD. PATROLLING DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. BUT WE DID SEE THAT OTHER ASSASSINATION. SO THEY NOW SAID THAT THEY WILL SPECIFICALLY HAVE 27,000 MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD PATROLLING THE POLLING SITES AND AREAS ON SUNDAY. THE DAY THAT MEXICANS GO OUT TO VOTE. I WILL SAY THIS, HALLIE. AS I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING TO VOTERS, HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT GOING TO VOTE ON SUNDAY, THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY ARE EXPOSED TO MORE DANGER ON SUNDAY BECAUSE IT IS ELECTION DAY. THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE EXPOSED TO DANGER IN MEXICO EVERY SINGLE DAY BECAUSE OF THE CONCERNS OF PUBLIC SAFETY. AND AGAIN, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY PEOPLE ARE SO AFRAID IS BECAUSE THEY FEEL IMPUNITY IS GIVING CRIMINALS MORE POWER BECAUSE A LOT OF THE CRIMES ARE NOT PROSECUTED IN MEXICO, HALLIE? >> A SOBERING REALITY. GUAD VENEGAS IN MEXICO CITY FOR US TONIGHT. THANK YOU. >>> TO INDIA NOW WHERE PEOPLE ARE SWELTERING UNDER A DEADLY HEAT WAVE. TEMPERATURES ABOVE 120 DEGREES. THIS IS EXTREME HEAT. IT IS DANGEROUS HEAT. IT IS SO BAD, IT IS AFFECTING VOTING THERE WHICH IS IN ITS SIXTH AND FINAL WEEK IN INDIA. IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS. OUR NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT JANIS MACKEY FRAYER IS IN DELHI WITH MORE. >> Reporter: HALLIE, THE HEAT IS BRUTAL. THE TEMPERATURE OF 126.1 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT REGISTERED AT A SUBSTATION. IF CONFIRMED IT WILL MARK THE HIGHEST EVER RECORDED TEMPERATURE ANYWHERE IN INDIA. SO WHAT DOES 126 DEGREES FEEL LIKE? NOT GOOD. I CAN DRAW A LOT OF COMPARISONS. LIKE STANDING BESIDE AN OPEN OVEN OR BEING FOLLOWED BY A HAIR DRIVER. THE FACT IS THIS INTENSE AND PROLONGED HEAT ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN INDIA IS FOR MOST PEOPLE UNBEARABLE. AND IN THE CAPITAL REGION ALONE, THERE ARE SOME 30 MILLION PEOPLE. THERE'S BEEN A SPIKE IN THE NUMBER OF CASES OF HEATSTROKE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE DIED. THERE ARE WATER SHORTAGES TO A POINT WHERE OFFICIALS ARE TALKING ABOUT RATIONING. ELECTRICITY SHORTAGES AND BLACK- OUTS BECAUSE THE POWER GRIDS CAN'T KEEP UP. SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN CLOSED DOWN. CROP HAVES BEEN DECIMATED. FIRES STARTED. ALL OF THIS LINKED TO THIS TREND OF INTENSE HEAT SCIENTISTS SAY HAS BEEN WORSENED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. HEAT WAVES IN INDIA ARE NOT UNCOMMON. BUT THE WEATHER DEPARTMENT HERE WARNS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE LONGER AND FAR MORE INTENSE. AND THEY ARE SPREADING. PARTSOF PAKISTAN ARE BEING SCORCHED AND SOUTHERN BANGLADESH IS BEING HIT WITH CYCLONES. THE OTHER MAJOR IMPACT IS THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ELECTION. NEARLY A BILLION VOTING IN THE LAST SIX WEEKS. ALREADY, POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THE HEAT AND IT HAS IN SOME AREAS HURT VOTER TURNOUT. FOR THE MEANTIME, OFFICIALS IN DELHI AND OTHER STATES HAVE ISSUED RED ALERTS FOR WEATHER. URGING PEOPLE TO STAY INSIDE. STAY COOL. AND OF COURSE, TO HYDRATE. A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST WAITING FOR THE MONSOON RAINS TO BRING SOME RELIEF. THE LOOMING CONCERN OF COURSE IS THAT THIS IS NOT SOME ONE OFF WEATHER EVENT OR ABERRATION. THIS IS PART OF A GROWING CRISIS HERE, THE INTENSE HEAT AND THE CASCADING EFFECTS OF IT WILL SOON TEST THE LIMITS OF HUMAN SURVIVABILITY. SO WHAT FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE AND SOMEWHAT PUNISHING NOW COULD WITHIN DECADES BEING DEVASTATING. HALLIE? >> OUR THANKS TO JANIS MACKEY FRAYER FOR THAT. >>> NBC NEWS COVERING HUNDREDS OF OTHER STORIES EVERY DAY. BECAUSE IT CAN BE TOUGH TO READ OR WATCH OR LISTEN TO THEM ALL, OUR BUREAU TEAMS HAVE DONE IT FOR YOU. THIS IS WHAT THEY TELL US IS GOING ON IN THEIR REGIONS IN A SEGMENT WE CALL THE LOCAL. IN THE SOUTHERN BUREAU. THE SUSPECT CHARGED KILLING A 22-YEAR-OLD GEORGIA NURSING STUDENT PLEADING NOT GUILTY IN COURT TODAY. REMEMBER, LAKEN RILEY WAS KILLED IN FEBRUARY. THE JUDGE IN THE CASE SAYS HE IS HOPEING TO HAVE A TRIAL THIS FALL. IN THE NORTHEAST, POLICE IN NEW YORK ARRESTING THREE PEOPLE IN CONNECTION TO A MACHETE ATTACK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY IN TIME SQUARE. THE VICTIM WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. IS EXPECT TODAY BE OKAY. NO WORD ON A MOTIVE BUT THE SUSPECTS ARE ALL FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES. IN THE MIDWEST, A BOB CAT IS SAFE AND SOUND AFTER ESCAPING A MICHIGAN CITY ZOO. OVER A DAY AGO, THERE SHE IS. NINE MONTHS OLD. LITTLE BOB CAT KITTEN NAMED GRACE. ZOO OFFIN OF NOW IS NBC NEWS NOW. >> SO, FACEBOOK'S TIME FOR A BIT OF A VIBE SHIFT FOR A REBRAND TO BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA FOR YOUNG ADULTS. KIND OF WHAT THEY TRIED TO DO 20 YEARS AGO. ONE OF THE WAYS THEY WANT TO DO THAT IS WITH THE HELP OF AI. JULIA JOINING US NOW. FACEBOOK IS THINKING ABOUT THE LONG TERM HERE. THAT IS SOMETHING YOUR GRANDMA WAS ON, FACEBOOK. GEN Z HAS GONE TO TIKTOK, ELSEWHERE. BUT NOW THEY WANT A NEW APPROACH LONGER TERM FOR 20 YEARS. TALK US THROUGH IT. >> Reporter: IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS BACK TO WHAT MARK ZUCKERBERG WANTED IT TO BE. A UTILITY. A PLACE WHERE YOU KEEP TRACK OF YOUR FRIENDS AND YOU WANT TO USE IT BECAUSE IT IS REALLY USEFUL TO YOU. I JUST WANT TO BRING UP WHAT THE HEAD OF FACEBOOK SAID HERE. HE SAYS YOUNG ADULTS ARE MAKING TRANSITIONS, MOVING, GOING TO COLLEGE. GETTING THEIR FIRST JOB OR APARTMENT AND FACEBOOK CAN HELP WITH ALL OF THIS. BUT THERE ARE FINDING GREAT DEALS ON FURNITURE, MARKETPLACE. CONNECTING WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND SMALL BUSINESS. OR FINDING SOMEONE THEY LIKE ON FACEBOOK DATING SO FACEBOOK WANTS TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHY IT IS A USEFUL UTILITY. A QUARTER OF YOUNG ADULTS, DAILY ACTIVE USERS ON FACEBOOK USE MARKETPLACE. THEY GO THERE TO BUY AND SELL THINGS. THEY KNOW THEY WILL FIND USEFUL TOOLS AND MORE THAN 1.8 BILLION GROUPED GLOBALLY SO IT MAKES SENSE YOU ARE SEEING THE FACT THAT MAYBE IT IS NOT YOUR FAVORITE PLACE FOR ENTERTAIN. BUT YOU KNOW IT IS A USEFUL TOOL. AND JUST TO REFERENCE SOME STATS HERE, THERE'S A SURVEY THAT FINDS THAT ABOUT TWO- THIRDS OF ALL U.S. YOUNG ADULTS BETWEEN 18 AND 29 SAY THAT THEY USE FACEBOOK. THAT IS BELOW INSTAGRAM WITH 78%. AND YOUTUBE 93%. BUT IT IS ABOVE SNAP CHAT AND ABOVE TIKTOK FOR THAT DEMO. >> WE TALKED SO MUCH ABOUT THE AI RACE. AND ALL THE BIG TECH COMPANIES. FACEBOOK AND I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TECH LEADERS WHO WANT TO USE IT TO REVOLUTIONIZE THEIR PLATFORM. FACEBOOK SAYS BY 2026, IT WANTS THE WORLD'S BEST RECOMMENDATION TECHNOLOGY. LOTS OF SORT OF BIG LOFTY PLEDGES. WHAT'S THE SORT OF MECHANISM BEHIND IT? HOW DID THEY DO IT? >> INVESTING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN AI. MARK ZUCKERBERG SAYS INVESTING IN AI WILL BE A BIG WIN FOR THEM. IT WILL MAKE THEIR ADS BETTER AND MORE EFFECTIVE. THEY WILL BE TARGETING THE BEST PEOPLE AND WITH MORE CUSTOMIZED CONTENT BUT THEY THINK IT WILL MAKE FACEBOOK A BETTER UTILITY. THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MESSAGE WITH A COMPANY OR A BRAND THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO BUY SOMETHING FROM. GET ANSWERS ABOUT BOOKING A FLIGHT. THIS IDEA THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO MESSAGE WITH THE AI CHAT BOTS. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT FACEBOOK'S BIG INVESTMENT IN AI WILL HELP WITH. >>> TONIGHT'S ORIGINAL WITH IN DEPTH REPORTING ON A TOPIC WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING. IT IS KIND OF A NEW WORKPLACE TREND TAKEN OFF THIS SUMMER. CHRISTINE ROMAN TAKES A LOOK AT WHAT'S BEHIND QUIET VACATIONING. >> Reporter: YOU HAVE HEARD OF QUIET QUITTING, MAYBE QUIET FIRING. BUT HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE SUMMER'S NEWEST TREND? QUIET VACATIONING. MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z TAKERRING TIME OFF AND TRAVELING WITHOUT TELLING THEIR BOSSES AND WHILE THEY ARE TECHNICALLY ON THE CLOCK. JOINING MEETINGS FROM PLACES LIKE HOTELS, BEACHES, CRUISES, YOU NAME IT. SO WHY DON'T THEY JUST TAKE THEIR PAID TIME OFF? WORKPLACE CULTURE EXPERT JESSICA SAYS IT IS BECAUSE OF FEAR. >> PEOPLE ARE AFRAID THEY WILL BE VIEWED AS WEAK BY THEIR EMPLOYERS. >> Reporter: SO THE GRIND NEVER REALLY STOPS. A REPORT FROM THE U.S. TRAVEL ASSOCIATION HIGHLIGHTING THE MAILMEN MILLENNIALS ARE A GENERATION OF WORK MARTYRS. AN ATTACHMENT TO YOUR JOB AMPLIFIED DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC AS PEOPLE GOT USED TO WORKING FROM HOME AND LETTING THEIR JOBS CREEP INTO THEIR PERSONAL LIVES. >> THE PERCEPTION IS THESE PEOPLE ARE LAZY. THEY ARE ENTITLED. THAT THEY ARE NOT LOYAL TO THEIR EMPLOYERS. >> Reporter: AMERICAN CULTURE PERPETUATING AN OBSESSION WITH PRODUCTIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE. THE U.S. THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T GUARANTEE SICK PAY AND PAID VACATION. >> WE WILL BURN OUT. >> Reporter: AND UNLIMITED PTO ISN'T THE SOLUTION EITHER. MANY WORKERS FEELING A SENSE OF CONFUSION AND GUILT WHEN TRYING TO DECIDE AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TIME TO TAKE OFF. IT IS WHY SOME ARE CREATING THE SOLUTION OF THEIR OWN PACKING UP AND HEADING OUT IN SECRET TO FIND SOME AWKWARD BALANCE BETWEEN VACATION AND WORK WITH NEARLY 40% OF MILLENNIALS SAYING THEY HAVE TAKEN TIME OFF WITHOUT EVER EVEN TELLING THEIR MANAGER. SOME MAKING IT A POPULAR TREND ON TIKTOK. >> JUST WORKING REMOTELY. DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. >> Reporter: AND THE COMPANIES FEELING BURNED. GOING ON QUIET VACATIONS CAN CAUSE COMPLIANCE AND LIABILITY PROBLEMS FOR EMPLOYERS WITH THINGS LIKE TAX, SECURITY, AND EMPLOYMENT LOGS FOCUSING HEAVILY ON WHERE YOU ARE WORKING FROM. NOT TO MENTION HEALTH CONCERNS AS WELL AS GENERAL PROBLEMS WITH WORK EFFICIENCY BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE WI-FI ISSUES AND HOLIDAY DISTRACTIONS. >> IT SOUNDS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO WORK ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO. BUT THE LAW ISN'T THERE. AND YOUR COMPANY IS NOT BEING MEAN WHEN THEY TELL YOU THEY CAN'T. >> Reporter: EMPLOYEES CAN GET A BALANCED EXPERIENCE OF WORK WITHOUT ACTUALLY HAVING TO GET AWAY. >> IRONICALLY, THE VERY THINGS YOU THINK AFFECT PRODUCTIVITY ARE ACTUALLY THE THINGS THEY NEED TO DO TO INCREASE IT. >> IT IS INTERESTING BECAUSE THE WHOLE POINT OF A VACATION IS TO UNPLUG. IF YOU ARE SECRETLY TRYING TO STILL WORKING ON VACATION, YOU ARE ACTUALLY NOT REAPING THE BENEFITS OF VACATION. >> AND WHO REALLY IS EVER UNPLUGGED. ONE OF THE BIG CONCERNS, MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF YOUR CAMERA IF YOU DO THIS. >> RIGHT. >> BUT ALSO KNOW YOUR BOSS. THERE ARE SOME BOSSES IF YOU GET BUSTED YOU WILL LOSE YOUR JOB. I'M TAKING THE KIDS TO THE BEACH. JUST SO YOU KNOW, I WANT YOU TO KNOW, YOU MAY NEED A LITTLE MORE COMMUNICATION. MIGHT BE BETTER FOR EVERYONE. >> WE CAN'T QUIET VACATION. >> LET'S DO THE SHOW FROM BERMUDA. >> MAYBE TURKS. THANKS SO MUCH. SUPER INTERESTING. >>> THAT DOES IT FOR US. AT THE END OF A VERY BUSY NEWS WEEK. A LOT MORE COVERAGE PICKING UPRIGHT NOW. UP RIGHT NOW. >>> WE ARE COMING ON THE AIR WITH THE HISTORIC REACTION FOR A HISTORIC DAY. PRESIDENT TRUMP PROMISING TO FIGHT BACK AFTER 34 FELONY COUNTS. REPUBLICANS, RUSHING TO HIS DEFENSE AS THEY STRIKE BACK CALLING THE VERDICT RECKLESS. WE ARE HERE WITH THE VERDICT IN NEW YORK AND VOTERS IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES. AND THE PRESIDENT LAYING OUT A ROAD MAP TO AN ENDURING CEASE- FIRE IN GAZA. HOW TO GET THOSE SRAELI HOSTAGES HOME. BUT HOW ARE ISRAEL AND HAMAS GOING TO REACT TO THIS? >>> AND A WOMAN ACCUSED OF ATTEMPTING TO KILL A CONNECTICUT MOTHER OF FIVE. A DECADE IN PRISON. >>> PLUS, SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS AS WE SPEAK AT THE WHITE HOUSE. AND THE BIG AND OCCASIONALLY CONTROVERSIAL STARS WHO SHOWED UP. >>> AND A NEW TREND FOR WORKERS THIS SUMMER. TAKING TIME OFF WITHOUT TELLING THEIR BOSSES. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT QUITE VACATIONING LATER IN THE SHOW. >>> DONALD TRUMP IS SETTING THE STAKES OF THE 2024 ELECTION JUST ABOUT AS HIGH AS THEY CAN GO. CALLING NOVEMBER 5th THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY. AND RAILING TO BEING THE FIRST AMERICAN PRESIDENT CONVICTED OF A FELONY. A POLITICAL SPEECH EVEN THOUGH HE CALLED IT A SPEECH AT TRUMP TOWER. HE HAD A LOT TO SAY. A LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES, GRUDGES, GRIEVANCES, NEW ATTACKS AGAINST THE D.A., THE JUDGE, AND WITHOUT SAYING HIS NAME MICHAEL COHEN. AND, AGAIN, CLAIMING HE WANTED TO TESTIFY. SOMETHING HE HAD THE CHOICE TO DO AND CHOSE NOT TO ALL WHILE PROMISING HIS LEGAL FIGHT IS NOT OVER. >> THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY KNOW IT WAS A HOAX. THEY GET IT. THEY ARE REALLY SMART. AND IT IS REALLY SOMETHING. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE APPEALING THIS SCAM. >> THAT IS THE SCENE AT TRUMP TOWER. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SCENE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. ALSO WITHIN THE LAST FEW HOURS, PRESIDENT BIDEN SPEAKING PUBLICLY ABOUT HIS PREDECESSOR'S CONVICTION. >> AS RECKLESS AND DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE. FOR ANYONE TO SAY THIS WAS RIGGED JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE THE VERDICT. >> AND YOU SEE OUTSIDE TRUMP TOWER HERE, SOME SUPPORTERS FLYING A FLAG LIKE THAT ONE THAT SAYS "TRUMP OR DEATH." THE NEW RIGHT-WING SWEAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THEY CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. MADE THEM SIGN UP FOR THAT. THE QUESTION YOU PROBABLY HAVE IS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. WILL DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY GO TO PRISON? VERY, VERY UNLIKELY BUT WE WILL GET THE ANSWER ON THAT DATE, JULY 11th, JUST FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. CAN DONALD TRUMP STILL BE PRESIDENT? THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT WOULD STOP HIM AND THERE IS NO CHANCE YOU WILL BE KICKED OFF THE TICKET. IF HE DOES WIN, HE CANNOT PARDON HIMSELF OR A STATE CRIME. HOW WILL HE CAMPAIGN? IS PROMISING TO GET BACK ON THE TRAIL. WE WILL HEAR MORE FROM VOTERS IN KEY BATTLEGROUNDS BUT I WANT TO START HERE IN NEW YORK. EVERY DAY OF THE TRIAL, YOU ARE AT TRUMP TOWER. IT WAS BILLED AS A PRESS CONFERENCE BUT NO QUESTIONS THOUGH. HE DELIVERED HIMSELF AS AT HOME AT A RALLY AND PIECES OF IT MAY HAVE EVEN FELT LIKE IT COULD HAVE BEEN DELIVERED ON THE STANDS ON THE COURT. HE CHOSE NOT TO TESTIFY. >> RIGHT. FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES HE BLASTED TO THE WITNESSES, INCLUDING MICHAEL COHEN, WHO IS AT THE HEART OF THIS CASE AGAINST HIM. HE BLASTED WHAT HE CALLS BAD PEOPLE REFERRING TO JOE BIDEN AND ALVIN BRAGG, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, SORT OF MAKING BLANKET STATEMENTS ABOUT THOSE WHO ULTIMATELY GOT JUSTICE FROM HIM. I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT HIS REMARKS IN JUST A MINUTE. >> I AM HONORED TO BE INVOLVED IN IT BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT AND I MIGHT AS WELL KEEP GOING AND BE THE ONE BUT I AM VERY HONORED TO BE INVOLVED BECAUSE WE ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR CONSTITUTION. >> DONALD TRUMP, THE FORMER PRESIDENT, IS NOT SOMEONE WHO JUST CAME INTO TRUMP TOWER MORE REMORSEFUL, REGRETFUL, AND HE CONTINUED TO SAY THAT HE DID NOTHING WRONG IN THIS. HE SAID THAT EVERYBODY HAS NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS. THIS IS FOR DONALD TRUMP. HE HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY. THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS ON WHETHER OR NOT HE MIGHT HAVE REGRETTED THAT. NOW, HE SAYS NOVEMBER 5th WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY. ELECTION DAY. >> YOU SHOULD NOTE HERE, HE HAS CALLED THIS A BIDEN WITCHHUNT AGAINST HIM. THESE ARE NOT STATE. NOT FEDERAL. NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HERE. HE TALKED ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN, THE STAR WITNESS. HE DID NOT QUITE SAY HIS NAME. BUT THERE MAY BE SOME KIND OF GAG ORDER WITH THE LINE THERE. EVEN THOUGH HE CALLED HIM A SLEAZEBAG, HE COULD STILL BE UNDER THAT PARTIAL ORDER. HE STILL IS? >> RIGHT. JULY 11th, THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF TIME AND THERE IS A LOT THAT JUDGE MERSHON CAN STILL LOOK AT WHEN MAKING THE DETERMINATION OF WHAT THAT SENTENCE IS GOING TO BE. WHETHER IT IS PROBATION OR JAIL TIME OR A FINE. HE FOUND DONALD TRUMP TO HAVE VIOLATED HIS GAG ORDER 10 TIMES ALREADY DURING THE COURSE OF THIS TRIAL. AND FOR HIM TO CONTINUE TO GO AND MAKE THESE ASSERTIONS WITHOUT NAMING MICHAEL COHEN DIRECTLY, HE HAS VERY MUCH TAKEN SOMEBODY ON AND THIS COULD BE PART OF THE APPEALS PROCESS AS WELL. >> LET US TALK ABOUT FOLLOWING ALONG PARTY LINES HERE. HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON, A POWERFUL REPUBLICAN IN CONGRESS, COMING OUT AND SAYING THIS TODAY. >> I DO BELIEVE THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD STEP IN. THIS IS TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED, AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO OUR SYSTEM. I THINK THE JUDGES ON THE COURTS ARE AS DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS WE ARE. I THINK WE WILL SET THIS STRAIGHT BUT IT WILL TAKE A WILD. >> IT IS SUPER INTERESTING ON A LOT OF LEVELS WHEN YOU UNPACK WHAT THE SPEAKER IS SAYING. IT SHOWS JUST HOW UNIFIED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS BEHIND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TO THE DEGREE THAT NOT EVEN MIKE PENCE, HIS FORMER RUNNING MATE, WHO WILL NOT ENDORSE HIM IN 2024, IS ECHOING SOME OF THIS LANGUAGE SAYING THIS HAS BEEN A DISSERVICE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> LARGELY THIS HAS BEEN HOW DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN ABLE TO HOLD ONTO POWER OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE VYING TO BE HIS BP. IF YOU LOOK AT SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, LIKE A JD VANCE. RIGHT? JD VANCE. FOR THEM, THIS IS STAYING IN SOLIDARITY. EVEN MITCH McCONNELL IS SUGGESTING THIS CAN BE OVERTURNED WITH AN APPEAL HERE. THERE ARE PLENTY. DONALD TRUMP HAS THE RIGHT. >> AND PRESIDENT BIDEN NOTED THAT. LIKE ANY OTHER AMERICAN, DONALD TRUMP CAN APPEAL. HE SAID HE WILL. BUT THAT IS NOT A SNAP OF THE FINGERS. >> A LOT OF THINGS ARE TRUE. HE FOUND A LOT OF TRUTHS. THERE WERE 12 NEW YORKERS THAT WERE THE JURORS. AND THEY ONLY PROTESTED AND CHALLENGED BECAUSE ONE OF THOSE 12 JURORS, THEY DID NOT PUT UP A FIGHT AGAINST 11 OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS SITTING ON THE JURY SO DONALD TRUMP IGNORE THOSE REALITIES. LIKE THE JUDGE WHO IS OVERSEEING THIS CASE. THIS IS THE PART HERE WHERE HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PUSHBACK FROM WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY. AND A WRAP UP BEFORE THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. HE WOULD BE THE GOP NOMINEE. >> THE FORMER PRESIDENT WILL BE LIKELY WHEN THE SUPREME COURT MAKES A DECISION IN THE NEXT MONTH ON THAT IMMUNITY CLAIM IN A SEPARATE FEDERAL CASE IN ELECTION INTERFERENCE. >> WE HAVE BEEN WAITING EVERY WEEK. 10:00 A.M. YOU KNOW? WE DON'T HAVE IT YET BUT A LOT IS RIDING ON THAT. ESPECIALLY IN THE ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE. >> RON, THANK YOU. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU. DAVID IS JOINING US NOW FROM NEVADA, ONE OF THE KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES. ONLY ABOUT A THIRD HAVE BEEN PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S LEGAL ISSUES AND YET THERE IS THIS QUESTION MARK ON HOW THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. THERE ARE SOME WHO HAVE SUGGESTED CHANGES. THERE ARE SOME WHO SUGGEST THIS CHANGES NOTHING. THERE ARE PROBABLY SOME IN THAT VERY WIDE MIDDLE. >> Reporter: YEAH. THE VIEW FROM THE GROUND IN A VERY PURPLE KIND OF COUNTY IS THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME KIND OF EFFECT BUT IS HARD TO KNOW WHICH DIRECTION IT WILL GO OR BY HOW MUCH. WE TALKED TO A BUNCH OF VOTERS THIS MORNING. THE ONE THING THAT CONSISTENTLY STOOD OUT TO ME BECAUSE IT CAME FROM ACROSS THE SPECTRUM WITH PEOPLE WHO REALLY LOVE DONALD TRUMP AND HATE DONALD TRUMP AND SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN AS IT DID NOT REALLY INTRODUCE ANY NEW INFORMATION. IT DID NOT REALLY CHANGE THEIR PERCEPTION OF DONALD TRUMP THE PUBLIC FIGURE. THE PERSONA. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT THAT WAY IT IS EASY TO THINK ABOUT WHY IT MAY BE HARD TO MEASURE OR READ EVEN THOUGH IT IS SO SIGNIFICANT AND SO MOMENTOUS A TOPIC. I WILL PLAY YOU A FEW CLIPS OF THE INTERVIEWS WE DID WITH A PRETTY REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF VOTERS HERE IN RENO. TAKE A LOOK. >> I THINK IT IS GOING TO HELP HIM WIN. >> TELL ME MORE. >> IN 2016, VOTED FOR HIM. VOTED FOR HIM TWICE. >> IT IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT AN ACTUAL CRIME IS HAPPENING. >> IF THAT IS WHAT THEY FEEL THE EVIDENCE IS INDICATING, THEN I FEEL IT IS CORRECT, AND IT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME TO BE HONEST. >> THAT LAST GUY, HALLIE, BY THE WAY, IS A LIBERTARIAN WHO IS CONSIDERING TO VOTE FOR BIDEN, BUT ONLY AS A VOTE AGAINST TRUMP. HIS DECISION WILL BE MOSTLY BASED ON POLLING. I WILL GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH. >> THE COUNTY THAT YOU ARE IN IS SIMILAR TO THAT ONE. HUGE FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. THE MARGINS ARE SO, SO CLOSE HERE THAT EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF A SWING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT WENT BIG-TIME TO DONALD TRUMP UNDER DEMOCRATS. >> Reporter: YEAH. IN THE LAST THREE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, THE VOTES HAVE GONE TO THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PIKE PRETTY TIGHT MARGINS. IN 2016, IT WAS ABOUT A POINT BETWEEN TRUMP AND HILLARY CLINTON. IF YOU LOOK AT THE STATEWIDE POLLING AVERAGES VERNA BRADDOCK, TRUMP IS UP BY A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT BY MORE THAN FIVE POINTS. YOU KNOW, THE EFFECT OF THIS IS GOING TO MATTER IN COUNTIES LIKE THIS ONE. ONE LAST THING BEFORE I LEAVE, HALLIE. I TALKED TO ONE LAST GUY WHO WAS GOING TO REGISTER TO VOTE TODAY, SPECIFICALLY TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE ONLY HE HIMSELF WAS CONVICTED OF A FELONY AND SPENT SOME TIME IN PRISON AND KNOW WHAT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM DOES. WE KNOW THERE IS AT LEAST ONE GUY WHO IS GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP BECAUSE OF THIS. >> HER TO HAVE YOU LIVE THERE IN VEGAS TONIGHT -- I MEAN NEVADA. >>> HAMAS, RESPONDING TO ISRAEL'S PROPOSAL TO TRY TO END THE WAR IN GAZA. VIEWING THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH POSITIVELY. >> THIS IS TRULY A DECISIVE MOMENT. THEY HAVE MADE THEIR PROPOSAL. HAMAS SAYS TO LAUNCH A CEASE FIRE. THIS DEAL IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE WHETHER THEY REALLY MEAN IT. >> THIS COULD BE A THREE-PART PLAN THAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS HOPEFULLY WILL LEAD TO A PERMANENT CEASE-FIRE AND THE RELEASE OF ALL HOSTAGES. IN A STATEMENT NOT LONG AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT, "THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT IS UNITED IN ITS DESIRE TO RETURN OUR ABDUCTORS." WE HAVE SOME DEVELOPMENTS AS IT RELATES TO THIS WAR BETWEEN HAMAS AND ISRAEL THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? >> Reporter: WELL, ACCORDING TO PRESIDENT BIDEN, THIS WOULD BE A THREE-PHASE PLAN THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY LEAD TO THE END OF THIS WAR. THE FIRST PHASE WOULD LEAD TO ABOUT SIX WEEKS OF ED MANY OF THE ISRAELI HOSTAGES. MAINLY WOMEN AND ISRAELI PRISONERS BEING RELEASED. AND THERE WOULD ALSO BE A WITHDRAWAL OF ISRAELI FORCES FROM THE MAJOR POPULATED AREAS. AND THEN THEY WOULD USE THAT SIX WEEKS TO TRY TO NEGOTIATE A SECOND PHASE IN WHICH ISRAEL WOULD COMPLETELY PULL ITS TROOPS OUT OF THE GAZA STRIP AND ALL THE REMAINING HOSTAGES WOULD LARGELY BE THE ISRAELI MEN AND MILITARY MEMBERS BEING HELD IN THE GAZA STRIP WHO WOULD BE RELEASED AS WELL. THAN ULTIMATELY THERE WOULD BE A THIRD PHASE, WHICH WOULD REALLY FOCUS ON RECONSTRUCTION. REBUTTING THE HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAS BEEN DESTROYED IN THE GAZA STRIP. THE PROBLEM IS WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE ACTUAL PLAN. WE HAVE HEARD HOW THE WHITE HOUSE IS CHARACTERIZING IT. AND AS WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, THAT IS NOT ALWAYS LINE UP WITH WHAT ISRAEL SAYS IT IS GOING TO DO. IN FACT, PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU HAS SAID HE WOULD NOT END THE WAR UNTIL HAMAS IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED IN TERMS OF ITS ABILITY TO RUN AS A MILITARY OR GOVERNING ORGANIZATION. SO WHETHER HAMAS HAS AGREED TO ESSENTIALLY ITS OWN DEMISE IS UNCLEAR AND IT IS NOT PART OF WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE INCLUDED IN ITS VERSION OF EVENTS, SO WE ARE SEEING EVEN MORE AND WHAT WILL GO FORWARD. >> IT IS A KEY MOMENT. THE ISRAELI MILITARY IS GOING DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO ROTH AND EXPANDING THERE. I KNOW YOU DO NOT HAVE A QUICK REBUTTAL BUT BASED ON YOUR TIME , WHERE'D YOU SEE THE ROADBLOCKS ARE THE HURDLES? >> Reporter: WELL, FIRST OF ALL, IT IS GOING TO BE WHAT DOES THE END OF THE WORD MEAN ? PRESIDENT BIDEN CAVEAT TO THAT BY SAYING ISRAEL, OF COURSE, WOULD STILL ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF WHEN IT NEEDS TO GO IN AND DO WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO. HAMAS SAID THEY ARE GOING TO GO IN BUT THEY COULD PICK IT BACK UP ANYTIME THEY WANT. THAT SEEMS TO BE A POTENTIAL STICKING POINT. THE OTHER MAJOR ASPECT HERE IS THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF HAMAS WHICH HAS BEEN A LONG- STANDING ISRAELI GOAL. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT END THE WAR UNTIL THAT HAPPENED. BUT YOU HEARD THE WHITE HOUSE AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SUGGEST THAT IS PRETTY MUCH DONE. HAMAS ALREADY CANNOT COMMIT ANOTHER OCTOBER 7th THEY HAVE BEEN SO DEGRADED. JUST HOW MUCH HAMAS HAS TO BE DESTROYED FOR THIS DEAL TO WORK AND RATHER HAMAS WOULD AGREE TO THAT IS ANOTHER HUGE STICKING POINT WE WILL HAVE TO SEE IRONED OUT BEFORE THIS GOES ANYWHERE, HALLIE. >> REPORTING LIVE FOR US OVERSEAS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>> THE MAYOR HERE SAYS THEY ARE READY FOR ANYTHING. >> WE WANTED TO SHOW THE UNIFIED FORCE THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW ANY UNLAWFUL DISRUPTION OF ANY CELEBRATION OF ONE'S HERITAGE IN THIS CITY. >> SOME 40,000 PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO BE AT THIS PARADE. SOME EXTREMISTS MAY SEE THIS AS A WAY TO CREATE SOME VIOLENCE. THEY NOTED THE CURRENT THREAT ENVIRONMENT. THE ASSESSMENT NOTES OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY ARE SEVERE. LIKE THIS CAR DRIVING OUTSIDE A JEWISH SCHOOL IN BROOKLAND. YOU SEE IT HERE. LOOK AT THAT VIDEO. FORTUNATELY, NOBODY WAS HURT. TALK TO US ABOUT THAT INCIDENT HERE BECAUSE THE SUSPECT HAS BEEN ARRESTED. >> Reporter: YEAH. THAT IS RIGHT, HALLIE. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AROUND 11:30 IN THE MORNING ON A WEDNESDAY. THE SUSPECT WAS SEEN DRIVING THAT WHITE CAR. JUMPED TO THE SIDEWALK NOT FAR FROM WHERE I AM STANDING RIGHT NOW AND VEERED INTO -- TOWARD TWO STUDENTS AND A RABBI RIGHT OUTSIDE THIS JEWISH SCHOOL WHERE I AM STANDING RIGHT NOW. NOW, THE SUSPECT DROVE OFF. A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH GROUP IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. HE WAS IMMEDIATELY APPREHENDED AND CHARGED WITH A HATE CRIME. ATTEMPTED MURDER AS A HATE CRIME. ATTEMPTED ASSAULT AS A HATE CRIME. ATTEMPTED VEHICULAR ASSAULT. MENACING AS A HATE CRIME. AS WELL AS RECKLESS DRIVING. NOW, THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE VERY SAME DAY THAT A 12- YEAR-OLD BOY WAS CHARGED ALSO WITH AN ANTI-SEMITIC HATE CRIME FOR ALLEGEDLY PUNCHING AND KICKING TWO JEWISH CHILDREN, ALSO, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BROOKLAND AUTHORITIES SAY THIS IS PART OF WHAT HAS BEEN A WAVE OF ANTI-SEMITIC VIOLENCE. ANTI-SEMITIC VIOLENCE IN NEW YORK CITY ALONE THIS YEAR IS UP 60%, HALLIE. >> THE BACKDROP IS WHAT YOU NOTED HERE. THE SECURITY THREAT NOW AND THE ENVIRONMENT, THE TENSION FOR JEWISH INDIVIDUALS THERE IN BROOKLAND, IN NEW YORK, IN THE STATE, AND IN THE CITY HERE. >> Reporter: YEAH. THAT IS RIGHT. SUNDAY IS OF COURSE THE ISRAEL DAY PARADE HAPPENING INSIDE OF NEW YORK CITY FOR 60 YEARS. IT IS A CELEBRATION OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL GIVEN THAT BACKDROP AUTHORITIES ARE CONCERNED. THEY HAVE INCREASED SECURITY. THEY HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE EARLIER TODAY OUTLINING SOME OF THE MEASURES YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN THERE. THEY ARE INCREASING POLICE PRESENCE. THEY ARE SCREENING. THEY ARE HAVING ADDITIONAL FENCING. ALSO, THEY ARE TELLING ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ATTEND THIS BAG , NO LARGE BAGS, NO FLAGS, COOLERS. THEY ARE AT THE PARADE AS WELL WITH DRONES AND BOMB SNIFFING DOGS. IT IS CLEAR THEY ARE TAKING EVERY PRECAUTION POSSIBLE GIVEN THE HISTORY AND GIVEN THE FACT THIS IS THE FIRST BIG JEWISH EVENT NEW YORK CITY HAS HOSTED SINCE THE OCTOBER 7th TERRORIST ATTACK. >> ERIN WAS THERE LIVE IN BROOKLYN. THANK YOU. >>> IN CONNECTICUT, A WOMAN WAS FOUND GUILTY FOR TRYING TO MURDER A FAMILY OF FIVE. WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE HER. WE WILL PROP UP THAT VIDEO IN JUST A SECOND. FAIRLY DISTRAUGHT IN LOOKING BACK AT THE PEOPLE WHO CAME TO SUPPORT HER. SHE IS ALSO LOOKING AT THE CHILDREN. REMEMBER, THIS CASE HAS SO MUCH TENSION AFTER DISAPPEARING AFTER DROPPING HER FIVE KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL. HER HUSBAND ALLEGEDLY DROVE OFF WITH HER BODY AND DENIED IT. THEIR KIDS IN A VERY EMOTIONAL MOMENT SPEAKING TODAY IN COURT. >> I HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH A HOLE INSIDE OF ME THAT I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FILL. IF YOU HAVE JUST THE LEAST BIT OF HUMANITY, I SUGGEST YOU LET ALL OF US KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY AND WHERE MY MOTHER IS. DO THE RIGHT THING, MICHELLE. >> SHANNON MILLER IS AN INKER WITH OUR NBC CONNECTICUT BRANCH. YOU MAY REMEMBER HER ON THE BROADCAST PREVIOUSLY. TALK S2 TODAY AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE BEING IN COURT. >> Reporter: YEAH, HALLIE. THIS ALL COMING AFTER JENNIFER'S DISAPPEARANCE. INVESTIGATORS SAY SHE WAS MURDERED INSIDE OF HER NEW CANAAN HOME, THAT HOME THAT SHE HAD TAKEN ALL OF HER FIVE CHILDREN TO TO TRY TO START A NEW LIFE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BITTER AND BRUTAL DIVORCE BATTLE. NOW, THAT VERDICTS CAME BACK ON MARCH 1st, SO THIS IS ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO WHERE SHE HAS BEEN BEHIND BARS AND WAITING FOR THE SENTENCING TODAY. THE JOY FOUND HER GUILTY ON ALL SIX COUNTS THAT SHE FOUND IN CONNECTION WITH JENNIFER'S MURDER, INCLUDING THE COUNT OF CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER. SHE WAS SET TO FACE, HALLIE, UP TO 50 YEARS IN PRISON FOR THAT VERY CHARGE. AGAIN, WE HEARD FROM POWERFUL WITNESSES AND GOT SOME IMPACT STATEMENTS. I HAVE TO SAY THAT MOMENT, HALLIE, WHEN HER SON SPOKE DIRECTLY TO THE JUDGE AND TURNED TO MICHELLE TO DEFEND HERSELF SAYING YOU ARE NOT THE WOMAN THAT WE THOUGHT YOU WERE. >> SO MANY EMOTIONAL MOMENT IN COURT. WHAT IS INTERESTING HERE TO IS THAT SHE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AND SHE CHOSE NOT TO DO SO. RIGHT? >> Reporter: YES. SHE SURE DID. WE HEARD FIRST, HALLIE, FROM ABOUT 20+ MEMBERS OF MICHELLE'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE LISTENED TO VIDEO STATEMENTS. THERE WERE 60+ LETTERS SUBMITTED TO THE JUDGE. AND AT THE VERY END OF THE DAY, HALLIE, WE HEARD FROM MICHELLE TROCONIS 'S DAUGHTER THAT SHE IS NOT THE WOMAN THEY PORTRAYED HER AS. THAT SHE WAS SOMEBODY THAT SHE WASN'T. THAT SHE WAS AN INNOCENT PERSON IN ALL OF THIS. MICHELLE TROCONIS TELLING THE JUDGE TODAY I AM DEEPLY SADDENED BY THIS TRAGEDY THAT HAS AFFECTED SO MANY LIVES. A MAN I KNEW AND LOVED. I DEEPLY REGRET EVER BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP AND EVER BRINGING MY DAUGHTER, MY FAMILY, AND MYSELF, INTO MY LIFE. SO SHE STILL MAINTAINS THAT SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT JENNIFER DULOS 'S DISAPPEARANCE, JENNIFER DULOS 'S MURDER. BUT THAT STATEMENT WE HEARD FROM THE DULOS FAMILY AT THE MOMENT WHEN THE JUDGE CAME DOWN WITH THE SENTENCING. >> SHANNON MILLER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORTING. >>> NEARLY 6 MILLION PEOPLE ARE AT RISK YET AGAIN OF SEVERE STORMS. SOME OF THESE FOLKS HAVE BEEN GETTING HAMMERED OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. WE SAW OVERNIGHT TORNADOES RIPPING THROUGH TEXAS. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE STILL DO NOT HAVE POWER. AND THIS PAST MONTH, MAY, WILL GO DOWN AS THE MOST ACTIVE MAY FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN MORE THAN A DECADE. WE SAW MORE THAN 6000 REPORTS THIS MONTH ALONE. >> JUNE IS USUALLY OUR THIRD MOST ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER MONTH. WE HAD 1072 TORNADOES THIS YEAR. WE SHOULD BE AROUND 770 ON AVERAGE. ALMOST 300 HIGHER THAN A NORMAL, AVERAGE YEAR. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF TORNADOES, ESPECIALLY THIS LAST MONTHS. TODAY, WE ARE HEADED FOR A MORE SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER SEASON. WE STOP GETTING SO MANY TORNADOES AND MORE WIND DAMAGE AND MORE HAIL. WE GO UP TO AREAS OF NORTH TEXAS LIKE AMARILLO AND HERE TO THE PANHANDLE OF OKLAHOMA. BIG HAIL AND MAYBE ISOLATED TORNADOES. MOST LIKELY THOUGH WE WILL JUST GET SOME DAMAGING HAIL. THAT IS ALL AT 11:00 THIS EVENING. STRONG STORMS AND ANGELA DEL RIO. AND DOWN IN LOUISIANA. THIS IS A MUCH SMALLER POPULATION AND MUCH MORE GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS THAT WE HAVE HAD THE PAST DAYS. DENVER OUT TO COLORADO. SUNDAY, A SMALL AREA HERE IN THE DAKOTAS. NOTICED THAT WE ARE ONLY TWO OUT OF FIVE. THE COLORING ON THESE IS BIT ODD AND THAT WIDESPREAD EFFECT OF THE STORMS WILL BE A LOT LESS. WE ARE GOING TO WATCH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. WE WILL HAVE SHOWERS AND STORMS. EAST COAST, ABOUT AS NICE AS IT GETS FOR OUR SUMMER WEEKEND. IT REALLY BUILDS THOUGH GETTING CLOSE TO 110. THE EAST COAST, HALLIE, FIRST HALF IS PRETTY GOOD. JUNE LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT WE JUST GOT DONE WITH. >> MUSIC TO THE EARS OF SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE HEARTLAND. >>> NEXT UP, THE LONGTIME SENATOR JOE MANCHIN OF WEST VIRGINIA IS NO LONGER A DEBATE. >> THEY ARE SOME RESILIENT FOLKS. >>> YOU KNOW, IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS BUT THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS -- NOT THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES -- ENDED UP VISITING THE WHITE HOUSE. PATRICK MAHOMES. THERE IS TAYLOR SWIFT'S BOYFRIEND. AND HARRISON BUTKER WAS THERE TOO. A BIT OF A LIGHTNING ROD AFTER URGING WOMEN GRADUATES TO REJECT CAREERS AND FOCUS ON FAMILY AND HUSBAND. >>> ALLIE RAFFA IS JOINING US NOW. HONORING THE CHIEFS, THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE DEADLY SHOOTING OF THE VICTORY PARADE BACK IN JANUARY, TOO. RIGHT? >> Reporter: YEAH. HALLIE, THAT IS RIGHT. YOU KNOW FROM YOUR OWN TIME COVERING THE WHITE HOUSE THAT FOR DECADES THIS TRADITION HAS BEEN SEEN ONE OF THE LIGHTHEARTED ONES THAT A PRESIDENT COULD PARTICIPATE IN BUT YOU ALSO KNOW HOW THAT HAS SHIFTED ACROSS THE YEARS AS POLITICS HAS LEANED ITS WAY IN. SO THERE WAS A LOT OF CONTROVERSY. THIS EVENT TODAY, SPECIFICALLY, ON WHETHER THERE WOULD MAYBE BE ANY AWKWARD MOMENTS BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND KICKER HARRISON BUTKER AFTER WE HEARD HIS COMMENCEMENT SPEECH AT THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY EARLIER THIS MONTH IN WHICH HE CRITICIZED BIDEN, A DEVOUT CATHOLIC, FOR HIS POLICIES ON ABORTION, HIS POLICIES ON COVID- 19, AND ALSO HE CRITICIZED HIS VIEW ON THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND CALLED FOR WOMEN TO END THEIR CAREERS TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH FAMILY. SO THERE WERE A LOT OF EYES ON WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND WHETHER THE WHITE HOUSE WOULD REVOKE HIS INVITATION OR WHETHER HE WOULD SKIP OUT ON THIS EVENT ALTOGETHER. WE DID SEE HIM IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY. HE WAS STANDING IN THE BACK ROW AS THE PRESIDENT HAS WELCOMED THE CHIEFS FOR A SECOND YEAR IN A ROW. HE WAS EVEN SMILING WHEN THE PRESIDENT GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO HIS TEAMMATE TRAVIS KELCE AND PUT ON A SPECIAL HELMET. AND WHILE WE DID NOT SEE ANY ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND BUTKER, WE DID KNOW THEY, THE CHIEFS, PARTICIPATED IN A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION TO TALK ABOUT HOW GUN VIOLENCE AFFECTS SPECIFICALLY THE NATION'S YOUTH. THAT IS ESPECIALLY TRUE GIVEN THE SHOOTING AT THEIR VICTORY PARADE IN FEBRUARY. LISTEN HERE. >> WE SAW PRIDE GIVE IN A WAY TO TRAGEDY. A LOCAL DJ WAS GUNNED DOWN. DOZENS WERE INJURED. 11 KIDS WERE IN THE HOSPITAL. AMID THE CHAOS, THIS TEAM STEPPED UP AGAIN. TRH■ HELPED PULL PEOPLE TO SAFETY. JAMES, WHO LOST HIS OWN BROTHER TO GUN VIOLENCE, REASSURED PEOPLE THAT THEY WOULD BE OKAY. >> Reporter: AND I WOULD BE REMISS ON ALL THE CURIOSITY ON WHETHER TAYLOR SWIFT WOULD ACCOMPANY THE TEAM TODAY. SHE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF HER EUROPEAN ERAS TOUR. >> THANK YOU, ALLIE RAFFA. ONE OF THE MANY HEADLINES FROM OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. >>> FIVE THINGS TO KNOW TONIGHT. NUMBER ONE. THE PRESIDENT SECRETLY GET UKRAINE PERMISSION TO USE AMERICAN WEAPONS TO ATTACK RUSSIA. THIS RULE ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN WEAPONS IN CERTAIN AREAS, SPECIFICALLY WHERE RUSSIA APPLIED A CROSS-BORDER ASSAULT JUST THREE WEEKS AGO. GERMANY HAS GIVEN UKRAINE SIMILAR APPROVAL. NUMBER TWO. ONE OF THE MOST RESTRICTIVE ABORTION BANDS IN THE COUNTRY. NEARLY TWO DOZEN WOMEN WERE PART OF THIS LAWSUIT. THEY HAD SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS. WE ARE LOOKING FOR MORE CLARIFICATION. NUMBER THREE. A LOT OF INHALERS ARE ABOUT TO GO DOWN THANKS TO A NEW PRICE CAP. TWO OF THE BIGGEST MANUFACTURERS WILL PUT A $35 LIMIT ON THE PRODUCT. AND, LISTEN, THIS IS A BIG DEAL. THE AVERAGE PRICE OF INHALERS HAS GONE UP 900%. A THIRD COMPANY IS EXPECTED TO HAVE THE SAME CAP IN PLACE. NUMBER FOUR. JOE MANCHIN IS LEAVING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO BECOME INDEPENDENT. HE HAS LONG BEEN THE MOST CONSERVATIVE MEMBER OF THE SENATE DEMS. THE AMERICAN BRAND IS WHAT HE CARRIES MOST PROUDLY AND HE CAN DO WITHOUT A "D" OR AN "R" NEXT TO HIS NAME. THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS WHETHER HE WILL RUN FOR GOVERNOR IN WEST VIRGINIA THIS FALL. NUMBER FIVE. THE FOUR MEMBERS OF ABBA ARE GETTING RID OF ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS KNIGHTHOOD IN SWEDEN. THIS PARTICULAR ORDER HAS NOT BEEN HANDED OUT IN NEARLY 50 YEARS. THEY ARE BEING RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING EFFORTS IN SWEDISH MUSIC. IT WAS ACTUALLY NOMINATED BY THE PUBLIC AND LAWMAKERS. >>> STILL AHEAD, MEXICO IS GETTING READY TO ELECT ITS FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT. LIVE FROM MEXICO CITY IN JUST A MINUTE. >>> PLUS, INDIA'S EXTENDED, DEADLY, AND DANGEROUS HEATWAVE. WE ARE THERE ON THE GROUND, NEXT. AT THIS. YOU CANNOT EVEN SEE ANYTHING. >> NEWS FOR THE GENERATION OF NOW IS NBC NEWS NOW. >>> LESS THAN 48 HOURS FROM NOW, VOTERS FROM MEXICO WILL HEAD TO THE POLLS IN THE BIGGEST ELECTION IN THE COUNTRY'S HISTORY AND ONE THAT WILL BE HISTORIC BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE TWO LEADING CANDIDATES ARE BOTH WOMEN. MORE THAN 20,000 LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL CANDIDATES ARE UP. THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN MARKED BY POLITICAL VIOLENCE. WE ARE LIVE IN MEXICO CITY WITH MORE. >> Reporter: AND ELECTION CYCLE STAINED BY BLOOD. NO ONE IN MEXICO SEEMS TO BE SAFE. CANDIDATES, CAMPAIGN WORKERS, AND EVEN RELATIVES, ALL TARGETS OF POLITICAL VIOLENCE. JUST THIS WEEK, THE MAYORAL CANDIDATE SHOT AND KILLED DURING THE FINAL RALLY OF HIS CAMPAIGN. THE COLD-BLOODED KILLING COMING JUST WEEKS AFTER ASSASSINS GUNNED DOWN ANOTHER CANDIDATE WHILE SHE CAMPAIGNED IN THE TOWN ALONG WITH FIVE OTHER VICTIMS. LOCAL POLITICIANS KILLED BY LOCAL GANGS. >> WE ARE TALKING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CANDIDATES. VERY LOCAL PLACES WHERE THE GANGS OPERATE, AND THERE IS CERTAINLY MUCH MORE TO TARGET THESE GUYS. >> Reporter: THE GANGS ARE OFTEN FIGHTING FOR CONTROL OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT WORKING HAND IN-HAND WITH MUCH LARGER CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES. >> THE CRIMINAL LANDSCAPE IN MEXICO IS REALLY TWO TO 300 DIFFERENT GROUPS. THEY CONTROL DIFFERENT CITIES AND IF THEY FIND A CANDIDATE IS EFFECTIVELY SAYING THEY WILL FIGHT ORGANIZED CRIME, THEY WILL CERTAINLY WANT TO BRING THAT CANDIDATE DOWN. >> Reporter: AS OF TUESDAY, 250 CANDIDATES OR ASPIRING CANDIDATES HAD FACED POLITICAL VIOLENCE . SINCE SEPTEMBER, 34 OF THOSE HAD BEEN ASSASSINATED ACCORDING TO A RECENT REPORT AND EXPERTS SAY THE RISING VIOLENCE IS ACTUALLY A SYMPTOM OF MEXICO SHIPPED FROM A SINGLE PARTY RULING TO DEMOCRACY OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES. >> NOW WE GO TO SPLIT THE ARGUMENT AND ORGANIZED CRIME THAT HAS A LOT OF WEAPONS. THEY SOMETIMES HAVE MORE FIREPOWER THAN POLICE FORCES. EVEN THAN THE ARMY. >> Reporter: IN NORTHERN MEXICO, HE IS RUNNING FOR A SEAT IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE. HIS DISTRICT INCLUDES THE CITY OF TIJUANA, WHERE THE EPICENTERS OF CARTEL VIOLENCE. HE SAID THREE OF HIS OPPONENTS HAVE REQUIRED EXTRA SECURITY. A POLITICAL ADVISER WAS KILLED WHILE JOGGING. TELLING US, I FEEL BECAUSE I ALSO LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE MIGRANTS COME TO FIND SMUGGLERS AND TAKE THEM TO THE U.S. AND I AM SURROUNDED BY THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY. ADDING THAT IT TAKES UP TO THREE DAYS TO SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR PROTECTION AND EVEN MORE TIME FOR APPROVAL FROM AUTHORITIES. DESPITE THE VIOLENCE, THIS WEEK MEXICAN PRESIDENT OBRADOR PUSHING BACK ON REPORTS FROM EXPERTS SAYING THE NUMBERS ARE EXAGGERATED. THE GOVERNMENT, REPORTING A MUCH LOWER NUMBER. 22 CANDIDATES OR ASPIRING CANDIDATES KILLED THIS ELECTION CYCLE. WHATEVER ACCOUNTS FOR THE DISCREPANCY, THERE IS REAL CONCERN AMONG CANDIDATES WITH AN ASSASSINATION TAKING PLACE THIS WEEK. SO FAR, MORE THAN 500 CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN GIVEN SECURITY OR EXTRA PROTECTION. EVEN THE LEADING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WAS RECENTLY STOPPED BY A GROUP OF MASKED MEN. IRONICALLY, THERE MESSAGE WAS FOR PROTECTION WHERE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE SEEKING OFFICE HAVE BEEN ASSASSINATED. A TROUBLING REALITY FOR MEXICO WHERE RUNNING FOR OFFICE MAY LITERALLY MEAN FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE. >> WE ARE JOINED NOW FROM MEXICO CITY. WITH ALL OF VIOLENCE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, WHAT IS THE COUNTRY DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT SUNDAY, THE ACTUAL DAY OF VOTING, IS SAFE AND SECURE? >> Reporter: SO, HALLIE, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED THAT FOR THE LAST TWO OR THREE WEEKS, THEY DID HAVE 260 MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES. THESE ARE MARINES AND PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT MILITARY INCLUDING THE ARMY AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL GUARD PATROL DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THOUGH WE DID SEE THAT OTHER ASSASSINATION SO THEY HAVE NOW SAID THAT THEY WILL SPECIFICALLY HAVE 27,000 MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD PATROLLING THE POLLING SITES AND OTHER AREAS ON SUNDAY, THE DAY THAT MEXICANS ARE OUT TO VOTE. I WILL SAY THIS, HALLIE. WE HAVE BEEN ASKING VOTERS HOW THEY FEEL LIKE ABOUT GOING TO VOTE ON SUNDAY. THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE EXPOSED TO DANGER EVERY SINGLE DAY BECAUSE OF THE CONCERNS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. ONE OF THE REASONS THEY ARE SO AFRAID IS BECAUSE THEY FEEL IMPUNITY IS GIVING CRIMINALS MORE POWER BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE CRIMES ARE NOT PROSECUTED IN MEXICO, HALLIE. >> THANK YOU. >>> TO INDIA NOW WHERE PEOPLE ARE SWELTERING UNDER A RECORD- BREAKING AND DEADLY HEAT WAVE. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HEAT WAVES OF -- LISTEN TO THIS. THIS IS EXTREME HEAT. IT IS DANGEROUS HE'D. IT IS SO BAD THAT IT IS AFFECTING VOTING THEIR IN WHAT IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST DEMOCRATIC ELECTION. WE ARE IN NEW DELHI WITH MORE. >> Reporter: HALLIE, THE HEAT IS BRUTAL. THIS TEMPERATURE OF 126.1 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT REGISTERED AT THE SUBSTATION HERE. IF OFFICIALS ARE ABLE TO CONFIRM IT, THEY SAY IT WILL MARK THE HIGHEST RECORDED TEMPERATURE ANYWHERE IN INDIA. WHAT DOES 126 DEGREES FEEL LIKE? NOT GOOD. I CAN DRAW A LOT OF COMPARISONS. IT IS LIKE STANDING BESIDE AND OPENED UP IN ORDER BEING IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH A HAIRDRYER. THIS LONG HE DOES ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN INDIA FOR MOST PEOPLE UNBEARABLE. IN THE CAPITAL REGION ALONE, THERE ARE SOME 30 MILLION PEOPLE. THERE HAS BEEN A SPIKE IN THE NUMBER OF CASES OF HEAT STROKE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE DIED. THERE ARE WATER SHORTAGES TO A POINT WHERE OFFICIALS ARE TALKING ABOUT RATIONING AND BLACKOUTS BECAUSE THE POWER GRID CANNOT KEEP UP. FIRES HAVE BEEN STARTED. ALL OF THIS IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THIS TREND OF INTENSE HEAT THAT IS SAYING THAT IT HAS BEEN WORSENED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. HEAT WAVES IN INDIA ARE NOT UNCOMMON, BUT THE WEATHER DEPARTMENT HERE WARNED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE LONGER AND FAR MORE INTENSE AND THEY ARE SPREADING. THERE ARE PARTS OF PAKISTAN THAT ARE BEING SCORCHED. THE OTHER MAJOR IMPACT HERE IS THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ELECTION. NEARLY A BILLION PEOPLE VOTING OVER THE PAST SIX WEEKS WITH THE LAST ROUND HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND. ALREADY, POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING HAS BEEN AFFECTED AND IT HAS IN SOME AREAS AFFECTED VOTER TURNOUT. IN THE MEANTIME, OFFICIALS HERE IN DELHI AND OTHER STATES HAVE OFFERED RED ALERTS FOR WEATHER. AND OF COURSE, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE MONSOON RAINS TO BRING SOME RELIEF. THE LOOMING CONCERN IS OF COURSE THAT THIS IS NOT SOME ONE-OFF WEATHER EVENT OR ABERRATION. SCIENTISTS SAY IT AS PART OF A GROWING CRISIS HERE AND THE GROWING HEAT AND CASCADING EFFECTS OF IT WILL SOON TEST THE LIMITS OF HUMAN SURVIVABILITY. SO WHAT FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE AND SOMEWHAT PUNISHING NOW COULD WITHIN DECADES BE DEVASTATING. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. BECAUSE IT CAN BE TOUGH TO READ OR WATCH OR LISTEN, ARE TEAM HAS DONE IT FOR YOU. >>> THIS IS A SEGMENT WE CALL THE LOCAL. A SUSPECT CHARGED WITH KILLING A GEORGIA NURSE STUDENT PLEADED NOT GUILTY TODAY. REMEMBER, LAKEN RILEY WAS KILLED IN FEBRUARY. THE JUDGE IN THE CASE IS HOPING FOR A CHILD THIS FALL. IN NEW YORK, POLICE ARRESTING AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE IN CONNECTION WITH A MACHETE ATTACK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY IN TIME SQUARE. THE VICTIM WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND IS EXPECTED TO BE OKAY. THE SUSPECTS ARE ALL FACING CHARGES. AND IN THE MIDWEST, A BOBCAT IS SAFE AND SOUND AFTER ESCAPING I? SUNDAY, IT IS MEET THE PRESS. >>> SO FACEBOOK IS GOING FOR A BIT OF A VIBE SHIFT. IT IS BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA FOR YOUNG ADULTS. KIND OF WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO 20 YEARS AGO. ONE OF THE WAYS THEY WANT TO DO THAT IS WITH A.I. 40 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S. AND CANADA ARE DAILY ACTIVE USERS. THAT IS THE MOST THEY HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. JULIA, GOOD TO HAVE YOU. BECAUSE FACEBOOK IS THINKING ABOUT THE LONG-TERM HERE. IT IS NOW LIKE SOMETHING YOUR GRANDMA WAS MOSTLY ON. GEN Z HAS TIKTOK. TALK US THROUGH THIS. >> Reporter: IT ALREADY SEEMS LIKE IT IS WHAT MARK ZUCKERBERG WANTED FACEBOOK TO BE. A UTILITY. A PLACE YOU KEEP TRACK OF YOUR FRIENDS AND YOU USE IT BECAUSE IT IS REALLY USEFUL TO YOU. THE HEAD OF FACEBOOK SAYS YOUNG ADULTS ARE MAKING TRANSITIONS, GOING TO COLLEGE, AND FACEBOOK CAN HELP WITH ALL OF THIS. THERE ARE GREAT DEALS ON FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE. EXPLAIN THEIR INTERESTS WITH REELS. AND IN CONNECTING WITH THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND SMALL BUSINESSES. OR FINDING SOMEONE THEY LIKE ON FACEBOOK DATING. A QUARTER OF ADULT DAILY USERS ON FACEBOOK USE MARKETPLACE. THEY ARE GOING TO BUY AND SELL THINGS. MORE THAN 1.8 BILLION USERS ENGAGE IN FACEBOOK GROUPS GLOBALLY. SO IT REALLY MAKES SENSE. MAYBE IT IS NOT YOUR FAVORITE PLACE FOR ENTERTAINMENT BUT YOU KNOW IT IS A USEFUL TOOL. THERE IS A SURVEY THAT FINDS ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF ALL U.S. YOUNG ADULTS BETWEEN 18 AND 29 SAY THAT THEY USE FACEBOOK. THAT IS BELOW INSTAGRAM AT 70% AND YOUTUBE AT 93% BUT IT IS ABOVE SNAPCHAT AND ABOVE TIKTOK FOR THAT DEMO. >> YOU HAVE TALKED SO MUCH ABOUT THE A.I. RACE THAT ALL THESE BIG COMPANIES SEEM TO BE IN NOW. SOME OF THEM SAY THEY WANT TO USE IT TO REVOLUTIONIZE THEIR PLATFORM IF YOU WILL. BY 2026, THE WORLD'S BEST RECOMMENDATION TECHNOLOGY. SO LOTS OF BIG LOFTY PLEDGES. WHAT IS THE MECHANISM BEHIND I ? HOW DO THEY DO IT? >> INVESTING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN A.I. MARK ZUCKERBERG HAS TALKED ABOUT IT. INVESTING IN A.I. IS GOING TO BE A BIG WIN FOR THEM. IT WILL MAKE THEIR ADS BETTER. THEY WILL BE TARGETING THE BEST PEOPLE AND ALSO WITH MORE CUSTOMIZED ADD CONTENT BUT THEY THINK IT WILL MAKE FACEBOOK A BETTER UTILITY. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MESSAGE WITH A COMPANY OR A BRAND THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO BUY THINGS FROM WORK AND ANSWERS ABOUT LOOKING UP FLIGHTS. THIS IDEA THAT WE CAN MESSAGE DIRECTLY WITH THESE A.I. CHAT BOX THAT IS SOMETHING THAT FACEBOOK'S INVESTMENT CAN REALLY HELP OUT WITH. >>> IN-DEPTH REPORTING ON A TOPIC WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING, AND TONIGHT IT IS KIND OF A NEW WORKPLACE TREND TAKING OFF THIS SUMMER. QUIET VACATIONING. >> Reporter: YOU HAVE HEARD OF QUIET QUITTING AND MAYBE EVEN QUIET FIRING, BUT HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE SUMMER'S NEWEST TREND? QUIET VACATIONING. MILLENNIAL'S AND GEN Z TAKING TIME OFF AND TRAVELING WITHOUT TELLING THEIR BOSSES, AND WHILE THEY ARE TECHNICALLY ON THE CLOCK. BEACHES, CRUISES, YOU NAME IT. WHY DON'T THEY JUST TAKE TIME OFF? IT IS BECAUSE OF FAIR. >> PEOPLE ARE AFRAID THEY WILL BE VIEWED AS WEAK BY THEIR EMPLOYERS. >> Reporter: AND SO THE GRIND NEVER REALLY STOPS. THE MILLENNIAL'S ARE A GENERATION OF, QUOTE, WORK MURDERS. THEY CAME INTO THE WORKFORCE AT A TIME WHEN U.S. VACATION USAGE WENT DOWN WHILE THE USE OF GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY WENT UP, ENABLING THIS CONSTANT ATTACHMENT WITH YOUR JOB. AND ATTACHMENT THAT WAS AMPLIFIED DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC AS PEOPLE GOT USED TO WORKING FROM HOME. >> THE PERCEPTION IS THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE LAZY, ENTITLED, NOT LOYAL TO THEIR EMPLOYERS. >> Reporter: A OBSESSION WITH PRODUCTIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE. THE UNITED STATES IS STILL THE ONLY COUNTRY AMONG ITS ECONOMIC PEERS THAT DOES NOT GUARANTEE PAID VACATION, SICK LEAVE, OR HOLIDAYS FOR ALL OF ITS EMPLOYEES. >> WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT WE HAVE TO FIND BALANCE OR OTHERWISE WE WILL BURN OUT. >> Reporter: MANY WORKERS ARE FACING GUILT WHEN TRYING TO DECIDE ON THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TIME TO TAKE OFF. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE TAKING A VACATION OF THEIR OWN AND PACKING UP AND LEAVING IN SECRET. NEARLY 40% OF MILLENNIAL SAYING THEY HAVE TAKEN TIME OFF WITHOUT EVEN EVER TELLING THEIR MANAGER. SOME EVEN MAKING IT A POPULAR TREND ON TIKTOK. >> WE ARE JUST WORKING REMOTELY. IT DOES NOT EVEN MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. >> Reporter: GOING ON QUIET VACATIONS CAN CAUSE LIABILITY PROBLEMS FOR EMPLOYERS WITH THINGS LIKE TAX, EMPLOYMENT, AND SECURITY LAWS DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU'RE WORKING FROM. NOT TO MENTION HEALTH CONCERNS AND PROBLEMS WITH WORK EFFICIENCY. PLUS THINGS LIKE WI-FI AND WORK DISTRACTIONS. >> IT SOUNDS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO WORK WHEREVER YOU WANT TO AND YOUR COMPANY IS NOT BEING MEAN AND HORRIBLE AND TERRIBLE WHEN THEY TELL YOU THAT YOU CANT. >> Reporter: COMMUNICATING SO THAT EMPLOYEES CAN GET A BALANCED TIME FROM WORK RATHER THAN HAVING TO GO AWAY. >> A BALANCED PRODUCTIVITY. >> THE WHOLE POINT OF A VACATION IS TO UNPLUG. IF YOU ARE SECRETLY TRYING TO STILL WORK ON VACATION YOU ARE NOT REAPING THE BENEFITS OF VACATION. BUT, LOOK, MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF YOUR CAMERAS IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS. >> BUT ALSO KNOW YOUR BOSS. THERE ARE SOME WHERE IF YOU GET BUSTED YOU WILL LOSE YOUR JOB. THERE ARE OTHERS WHERE YOU SHOULD CLUE THEM IN. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE KIDS TO THE BEACH. I AM GOING TO WORK FROM THE HOTEL ROOM FOR THESE DAYS. >> THE WEEKEND QUIET VACATION, MAYBE. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY MAYBE THAT WOULD DO IT. SUPER INTERESTING. I TO HAVE YOU WITH US. THAT DOES IT FOR US AT THE END OF A VERY BUSY NEWS WEEK. WE HAVE MORE COVERAGE COMING UP.
