Hallie Jackson NOW - Sept. 9 | NBC News NOW

>>> WE ARE COMING ON THE AIR WITH THE UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER COAST TO COAST TONIGHT. THE TROPICAL STORM AS WE SPEAK FOLLOWING. AND ACCUSES KILLER CONVINCE THAT ARGUMENT CAN BE FAIR, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN. OR NEWSMAKER AND FORMER TOP AIDE TO CLINTON GIVING HIS TAKE ON WHAT HE SHOULD DO IN THE BACK STORY ON AN NBC NEWS EXCLUSIVE. HOW OUR REPORTER GOT THE FYRE FESTIVAL, HOW IT COULD MAYBE ACTUALLY WORK. WITH THEIR OWN LEGAL BATTLE TAKING OVER THE MEDIA EMPIRE. WE ARE STARTING TONIGHT WITH THE SPLIT SCREEN OF INTENSE AND DANGEROUS WEATHER. WITH FIRES BURNING OUT OF CONTROL IN THE WEST. THE HURRICANE CENTER WITH THE NEWLY FORMED TROPICAL STORM STRENGTHENING. FRANCINE, EXPECTED TO BECOME A HURRICANE. MASSIVE LINE FIRE ONLY 3% CONTAINED RENOWN. AND THIS IS THREATENING MORE THAN 30,000 HOMES. THREE FIREFIGHTERS ARE ALREADY HURT AND A CHALLENGE HERE, THEY JUST CAN'T PUT WHERE THE FIRE IS NEXT. 11,000 PEOPLE UNDER EVACUATION ORDERS WITH ONE COUPLE TELLING THEM THEY JUST LANDED BACK AT L.A.X. AFTER THE TRIP THERE RACING TO GET HOME, WATCH. >> NOW THEY'VE GOT THE ACCESS POINT CLOSED UP. WE'RE REALLY WORRIED, WE HAVE TO GET MEDICINE, FAMILY MEMBER. >> NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN FORCED TO LEAVE. DOWN SOUTH LOUISIANA RACING FOR TROPICAL STORM FRANCINE WHICH IS GETTING STRONGER AND FASTER. AT LEAST ONE SCHOOL SYSTEM IS SHUTTING DOWN IN LOUISIANA WITH EVACUATION ORDERS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. I WANT TO START WITH YOU IN CALIFORNIA WITH THESE WILDFIRES THEY HAVE EXPLODED INSIDE AFFECTING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN YOUR STATE. >> Reporter: IT IS WAY TOO HOT OUTSIDE, CAN YOU EVEN BE STANDING OUTSIDE BUT TO BE FIGHTING A FIRE, AND POSSIBLY HOT TO IMAGINE. SMOKE IS JUST ENVELOPED THIS CANYON AREA WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A WIND DRIVEN FIRE. SO MANY FIRES ARE DRIVEN BY STRONG WEB FROG -- RED FLAG WARNINGS. THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY JUST SETTLING DOWN IN ONE SPOT MAKES THE AIR QUALITY HERE HORRENDOUS LIKE IT IS HARD TO TALK IT IS HARD TO BREATHE. YOU CAN FEEL IT IN YOUR NOSE, REALLY EVERYWHERE. AIR QUALITY WARNINGS ARE GOING OUT TO COMMUNITIES DOZENS OF MILES AWAY BUT THE WORST PART IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MOUNTAINS BEHIND ME. MAYBE QUADRUPLING IN SIZE, IT HAS FORMED ITS OWN WEATHER SYSTEM. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ACTUALLY RECORDED CLOSE TO 4000 LIGHTNING STRIKES. AND NOT ONLY THAT, THAT SYSTEM HAS MADE THINGS ERRATIC EVEN DESPITE THE WIND. THEY WEREN'T SURE WHAT DIRECTION THE FIRE WAS GOING TO MOVE THEY THOUGHT IT MAY BE MOVING IN UP TO THREE DIRECTIONS. THAT'S WHY WE ARE SAYING THAT 35,000 HOMES ARE AT RISK AS WE SPEAK. FIREFIGHTERS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB OF PROTECTION. ONE OF THOSE HOMES THAT WE'VE HEARD OF SO FAR HAS BURNED. NO ONE HAS DIED. AT THREE FIREFIGHTERS ARE INJURED FIGHTING THIS FIRE. IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO BATTLE BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR LIKE THIS FIRE IS MOVING VERY QUICKLY WHICH IS GOOD NEWS. YET AGAIN, 101 DEGREES. >> WHAT IS NEXT, WHERE DOES THIS GO. IT IS JUST GOING TO BE STATUS QUO FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THAT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. >> FIREFIGHTERS NEED RESOURCES AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE GETTING THEM. STATE OF EMERGENCY ACTIVATED HERE EARLIER TODAY. THE GOVERNOR HAS ACTIVATED THE NATIONAL GUARD. THE NATIONAL GUARD ACTIVATES AS A SUPPORT SERVICE. THEY WILL DO AIR SUPPORT SECURITY SUPPORT, THE POLICING ON THE GROUND. IT FREES UP ACTUAL PEOPLE THAT NEED TO GO FIGHT THE FIRE SO JUST MORE MANPOWER CYCLING IN. A LITTLE BIT LOWER IN TEMPERATURE AND AGAIN NO WIND MEANS FIREFIGHTERS CAN HOPEFULLY PUT MORE PROTECTION ON THIS THING AND GET IT OUT BEFORE IT CAUSES ANY WORSE DISASTERS THAN IT ALREADY IS, HOLLY? >> THANK YOU. WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE SPLIT SCREEN WITH THE WEATHER. LET ME TAKE IT DOWN SOUTH BECAUSE THERE IS A TROPICAL STORM THAT IS GETTING BIGGER AND FASTER AND BY TONIGHT WE MAY NOT BE CALLING IT TROPICAL STORM FRANCINE ANYMORE BUT HURRICANE FRANCINE. IT IS COMING AFTER A REALLY RARE QUIET PERIOD. NOT EVEN WHAT, FOUR MINUTES AGO I SHOULD SAY. TALK ME THROUGH IT. >> 48 HOURS TO GO. I THINK WE HAD LIKE THREE STORMS IN 2020. LOUISIANA HAS GOTTEN HIT MORE THAN ANYONE LATELY AND THIS ONE IS HEADING YOUR WAY. AND HAS STRENGTHENED CONSIDERABLY GETTING MORE ORGANIZED AND NOW THE HURRICANE CENTER HAS BEEN BECOMING A STRONG CATEGORY TWO BY THE TIME HE GETS TOWARDS THE LOUISIANA COAST. THERE ARE COUPLE OF THINGS. THE WEAKER SIDE OF THIS, AND WON'T EVEN BE THAT WINDY. THAT WILL BE THE BIGGEST DANGER. YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING OKAY WITH THIS ONE. IT IS FROM THE LAKE CHARLES AREA AND NEW ORLEANS NOW YOU ARE ON THIS FURTHER EAST, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME SQUALLS GOING THROUGH. MAYBE SOME TORNADOES. NOT THE DIRECT HIT FROM THE STORM. WE BRING THE STORM RIGHT UP TO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SO WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS I DON'T THINK SO WE NOW HAVE HURRICANE WARNINGS HEADING TOWARD VERMILION BAY THIS YEAR. LAKE CHARLES GOT DEVASTATED BY A HURRICANE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND THIS ONE LOOKS TO BE JUST EAST. THERE IS A STORM SURGE IT IS NO JOKE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A RELATIVELY UN-PROPAGATED BECAUSE. THESE ARE SWAMPY AREAS. THE WATER WILL PUSH PRETTY FAR INLAND. AND THEN OF COURSE EVERYONE IS WONDERING HOW TO GET THAT WIND DAMAGE THAT WE ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH. THAT WILL COME IN THE DAYS TO COME. AND IT POURED LAST WEEK IN LOUISIANA. WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS ON TOP OF IT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF WATER ISSUES FROM THE RAINFALL ALONE AND BECAUSE WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS IT IS STILL BRUTALLY HOT IN AREAS OF THE SOUTH. INLAND BY ABOUT FOUR MILES. IT IS 101 IN VEGAS. EVERYONE IS DONE ITH IT. WE HAVE SEEN THE FIREFIGHTERS, ONE MORE DAY THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY AND THEN YOU GET YOUR RELIEF. TOMORROW WE WILL CALL IT OFF. 1-0 INTO PALM SPRINGS 70s AND 80s RETURNED BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE OUR MOST SIGNIFICANT THREAT AS WE GO THROUGHOUT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY EVENING. >> WE'RE LEARNING TONIGHT THAT THE FUGITIVE SUSPECT ACCUSED OF OPENING FIRE NEAR A KENTUCKY HIGHWAY HAD TEXTED SOMEBODY JUST A HALF HOUR BEFORE SAYING HE INTENDED TO, I AM QUOTING HERE, KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE. CHILLING DETAILS ARE COMING IN AN AFFIDAVIT OBTAINED BY NBC NEWS. IS OFFICIALS LOOK FOR THAT GUNMAN, THERE ASKING HIM TO SURRENDER. >> IF HE DOES HAVE A FAMILY OUT THERE. >> ONCOMING TRAFFIC HITTING A NUMBER OF CARS, THE URGENT MANHUNT GONE ON FOR 36 HOURS. THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF THE LEAD ON THIS GUY. >> Reporter: THEY ARE STILL SEARCHING, A WOODED AREA ABOUT EIGHT MILES FROM WHERE WE ARE THEY ARE SHEDDING LIGHT ON WHAT HAPPENED LEADING UP TO THE SHOOTING ACCORDING TO THIS AFFIDAVIT, JOSEPH COUCH SENT A TEXT MESSAGE TO A WOMAN ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE SHOOTING UNFOLDED, SHE TRIED TO WARN AUTHORITIES. IN THE TEXT THAT HE ALLEGEDLY CENTER HE ALSO SAID, NOT ONLY DID HE SAID I WILL KILL MYSELF AFTERWARD BUT HE SAID I'M GOING TO KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE, WELL, TRY AT LEAST. HE DOES HAVE A MILITARY BACKGROUND ACCORDING TO STATE POLICE ABOUT FOUR YEARS WITH THE U.S. ARMY RESERVE. AN HONORABLE DISCHARGE. HERE'S THE OTHER THING THE SAME DAY OF THE SHOOTING WHICH HAPPENED ON SATURDAY IS WHEN INVESTIGATORS SAY HE APPROACHED WITH AN AR 15 THAT IS THE WEAPON THEY FOUND NEAR THE AR -- CRIME SCENE. 1000 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. A >>> TO IDAHO NOW WHERE TONIGHT A JUDGE IN THAT STATE WAS MOVING THE TRIAL OF AN ACCUSED SERIAL KILLER, AFTER THE DEFENSE TEAM ARGUED THERE IS NO WAY HE WILL GET A FAIR TRIAL IN THE SMALL TOWN WHERE THIS HAPPENED. HE IS ACCUSED OF KILLING FOUR STUDENTS BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2022. YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER THE MEDIA COVERAGE. A LOT OF SPECULATION. HIS LAWYER FILED A MOTION TO CHANGE. THEY WANTED TO MOVE OUT OF MOSCOW TO SOMEWHERE ELSE. IT IS HARDER TO FIND IMPARTIAL JURORS WHERE THIS HAPPENED IN TODAY THE JUDGE AGREED WITH OUR CALLING THIS THE MOST DIFFICULT DECISION OF HIS CAREER. IT IS ALSO IN PART TWO BECAUSE OF THE RESOURCES ESSENTIALLY. THE JUDGE MADE THE ARGUMENT THAT LISTEN THIS IS GOING TO GET A LOT OF ATTENTION. THIS IS GOING TO BE A BLOCKBUSTER TRIAL AND THE SHERIFF, THE SECURITY APPARATUS IN THIS TOWN SIMPLY MIGHT NOT BE EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THAT KIND OF INFLUX. >> DEFINITELY NOT EQUIPPED. THAT WAS DETAILED IN THIS DECISION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE JUDGE EARLIER TODAY. FOLLOWING THE HEARING FROM THE BETTER PART OF THE DAY. THE JUDGE SIMPLY STATING A CLEAR CUT FACT. IN THE SMALL TOWN OF MOSCOW IDAHO TO HAVE A TRIAL OF THIS MAGNITUDE WITH THE NATIONAL EYEBALLS ON IT IT WILL DEFINITELY RECEIVE ONCE THE TRIAL GETS UNDERWAY. THEY WOULD NEED MORE SECURITY MORE COURT CLERKS. ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING. THAT IS ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS THAT LED HIM TO ISSUES THAT CHANGE A VENUE FROM THE TIGHTKNIT COMMUNITY. ANOTHER THING THAT HE BROUGHT UP HERE IS THE FACT THAT HE POINTED TO A SURVEY CONDUCTED BY SOME WEAKNESSES ON BEHALF OF THE DEFENSE THAT POINTED OUT THE PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS THAT THESE COUNTIES HAD REGARDING BRIAN COWORKER WE HAVE THE COUNTY WHERE MOSCOW IS LOCATED, 67% BELIEVE THAT HE IS GUILTY. 24% SAID DEFINITELY GUILTY. YOU GO SOUTH WHERE BOISE IS LOCATED THE CAPITAL OF IDAHO, A LARGER CITY WITH MORE RESOURCES STILL, 60% BELIEVE THAT HE IS GUILTY. 22% BELIEVE DEFINITELY GUILTY. ALL OF THAT CONTRIBUTING TO NOT HAVE THIS TRIAL PLAY OUT IN MOSCOW. ALTHOUGH WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT COULD BE HANDLED HERE. >> COULD BE BOISE BECAUSE THERE IS ANOTHER HIGH PROFILE TRIAL IN IDAHO THAT WE COVER ON THE SHOW THAT I THINK ENDED UP MOVING TO BOISE, RIGHT? >> IT CERTAINLY COULD BE BOISE. THAT IS WHAT THE DEFENSE IS SUGGESTING SAYING THAT THERE IS A LARGER POOL OF JURORS TO DRAW FROM THERE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE UNBIASED AS IT RELATES TO WHERE THE STANCE IS, I SHOULD POINT OUT THE JUDGE POINTING TO THIS SURVEY THAT LED THEM OUT OF MOSCOW BUT EVEN IN THE COUNTY, 60% OF RESPONDENTS SAY HE IS GUILTY AND I DO WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A STATEMENT FROM KAYLEE, ONE OF THE FOUR VICTIMS IN THIS MURDER, THEY SAID REGARDING THE JUDGE CHANGING VENUES, THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS DECISION IS THAT IT IS THE JUDGE'S LAST DECISION ON THIS CASE. PRETTY CLEAR THERE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT UPDATE, I APPRECIATE IT. >> LESS THAN 30 MINUTES NOW. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS LANDING ON THE TARMAC IN PHILLY. OVER IN PITTSBURGH. FOR THAT, THE FIRST DEBATE BETWEEN THESE TWO. WE ARE GETTING NEW DETAILS ON THIS LAST-MINUTE DEBATE. IT CAN BE ONE OF THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL MOMENTS IN THIS RACE. THOSE CAMPS SAYING THAT THEY ARE HOLDING THIS EXTENSION PREP A SESSION IN THE FINAL RUNOFF, THEY DO CALL IT A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT THING. WE ARE GOING TO GET INTO THAT IN A SECOND. THE MOST FORMAL PRACTICE SESSION, THERE IS ALSO PULLING OUT NOW SHOWS THAT THIS RACE IS NECK IN NEXT, IT IS SUPER COMPETITIVE INSIDE THE MARGIN OF ERROR. SAME DEAL GOES IN THIS CRITICAL BATTLEGROUND. PITTSBURGH TONIGHT. LET'S START WITH THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN FIRST. IS IT DONALD TRUMP? THESE THE SAME OLD PLAYBOOK. WHERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR, HARRIS TO BE ON THE NATIONAL STAGE IN A WAY. YOU LOOK AT THE DEBATE NUMBERS, TWICE AS MANY VIEWERS THAT WATCH THE FIRST DEBATE AS THEY DID THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. IT IS A REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR HER TO MAKE THE CASE AGAINST HIM. >> YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT SHE HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR IN PITTSBURGH, ONE OBVIOUSLY IS DEALING WITH DONALD TRUMP YOU TALK ABOUT THE REFERENCE AND USING THE SAME OLD PLAYBOOK WE HAVE HEARD HER SAY THAT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. THAT IS REALLY HER MAKING A REFERENCE TO THE PENSION FOR THREATS AND FOR THE CAMPAIGN LIVE. I WANT TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS TO SAY ABOUT THAT ISSUE ON A RADIO SHOW, SHE RECORDED A CONVERSATION WITH A RADIO SHOW HOST AND COMEDIAN. >> HE PLAYS FROM THIS REALLY OLD RETIRED PLAYBOOK IN TERMS OF HOW HE WOULD GO AND WE SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THAT, WE SHOULD BE PREPARED THAT HE IS NOT WITH THE TRUTH. WE SHOULD BE PREPARED THAT HE IS PROBABLY GOING TO SPEAK A LOT OF UNTRUTHS. >> THE OTHER PART OF THE PREPARATION, THE VICE PRESIDENT ACCORDING TO SOURCES ANYWAY IS THIS IDEA THAT SHE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER POLICY RELATED QUESTIONS IN A WAY THAT SHE CAN TIE IN FIGURES WITH THE NARRATIVE FORMAT THAT PEOPLE AT HOME WILL BE ABLE TO GRASP AND HOLD ONTO AND FIND SOME SUBSTANCE IN. AFTER SO MANY DAYS OF PREPARATION CONCENTRATED PREPARATION HERE. WE SPOKE TO OUR TEAM THAT SHE WOULD BE OVER PREPARED AND NOT BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT HER IDEAS AROUND LOWERING COSTS FOR FAMILIES AND HELPING SMALL BUSINESSES FIT IN TO HER PERSONAL STORY AND FIT IN TO THEIR LIVES AS WELL, HOLLY. >> WE KNOW THAT THE FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN HAS BEEN WORKING WITH DONALD TRUMP ON THAT. A WITHDRAWAL, IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT COMES UP FOR VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> I THINK YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. AND NOW THIS REPORT IS OUT EVEN THOUGH THE WHITE HOUSE HAS SAID THAT THIS IS A REPORT THAT IS CHERRY PICKED, I THINK THAT IS THE PHRASING THAT THE WHITE HOUSE USED. IT IS STILL SOMETHING THAT MODERATORS MIGHT ASK THE VICE PRESIDENT ABOUT AND SOMETHING THAT DONALD TRUMP MIGHT BRING UP SHE WILL HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO ANSWER HER PARTS IN THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS. ONE THING SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS THE LAST PERSON IN THE ROOM THAT SOME OF THOSE DECISIONS WERE BEING MADE. WE WILL SEE HOW SHE RESPONDS TO THAT KNOWING THAT THAT WAS A PART OF THE PREPARATION ANSWERING THE POLICY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PREPARATION THAT SHE DID HERE IN PITTSBURGH. >> ERIN, THANK YOU. WE ARE GETTING READY OF COURSE FOR THE BIG DEBATE NIGHT WAS OF SPECIAL COVERAGE MOVING DOWN TO PHILADELPHIA TOMORROW NIGHT. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN PREPPING AT HIS HOME IN SOUTH FLORIDA I SAID THE WORD PREPPING NOT LIGHTLY. THEY OFTEN SAY LISTEN, IF HE DOES INTERVIEWS TO TAKE THE QUESTION, HE IS ACTUALLY DOING SOME POLICY SESSIONS. >> THAT WAS BACK IN JUNE. HE DOES THE RALLIES. >> FOR A LONG TIME IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT. >> THAT IS WHERE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE IS ACTUALLY DOING SOME DEBATE PREP FOR THIS ONE IS NOTABLE. WE WERE TOLD IS GOING TO BE DOING A FEW SESSIONS HERE TODAY BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY TO PHILADELPHIA. WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT HERSELF SHE HAD A VISUALIZATION OF WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO DEBATE WITH DONALD TRUMP. BUT FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE, THIS REALLY DIDN'T COME INTO FOCUS UNTIL ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. ADVISORY TO DONALD TRUMP THAT HE HAS REALLY BEEN FOCUS BETWEEN TWO PARTS OF IT. MAKING THE CASE OF THE AMERICAN ELECTRIC. FOR ALL OF THE DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, SHE WASN'T JUST SOME BY STANDARD FOR ANY OF THE FOREIGN-POLICY ECONOMIC DECISION-MAKING. >> THE SECOND PART, QUICK QUIPS FROM KAMALA HARRIS AND HOW SHE MAY RESPOND TO TRUMP AND HOW HE COULD THEN TURN IT BACK TOWARD HER KNOWING THAT HE WOULD BE EAGER AND PREPARED THROUGHOUT THE TWO HOURS. >> YOU ARE GOING TO BE WATCHING THIS LIKE THE REST OF US. WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A SECOND DEBATE. WE THINK MAY BE, IT IS NOT CLEAR. >> MY QUESTION AS TO WHAT EXTENT IS HE ANSWERING POLICY SPECIFICS? OR ABOUT ANY OF THE UNDERLYING PLANES AND ALLEGATIONS THAT WERE MADE OF BECAUSE THAT IS TWO MONTHS AGO WHAT WE WERE ANTICIPATING THEY FELT LIKE JOE BIDEN MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. AND NOW THE QUESTION HERE IS WELL KAMALA HARRIS TRIED TO FORCE HIM INTO SORT OF A MUMBLED RESPONSE LAST WEEK WHEN HE ACTUALLY IS HELD TO THE POLICY SPECIFICS. HAS HE WORKED TO POLISH SOME OF THESE POLICY DECISIONS HERE WITH THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THAT ARE GOING TO BE WATCHING AND HOPEFULLY HOLD HIS OWN FUTURE. >> IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU. TUNE IN TOMORROW NIGHT OBVIOUSLY WHEN KAMALA HARRIS AND DONALD TRUMP FACE-OFF. YOU CAN WATCH ALL OF THE COVERAGE STARTING REALLY AT 4:00 P.M. EASTERN OTHERWISE WE WILL SEE YOU AT 8:00 ON THE NETWORK AND RIGHT HERE STREAMING, SEE YOU THEN. >>> A 15 COUNT INDICTMENT NAMING TWO PEOPLE IN CONNECTION WITH A PLOT TO TARGET JEWISH PEOPLE, BLACK PEOPLE, MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY AND MANY OTHERS. THEY ARE TRYING TO BRING DOWN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. THERE ALSO'S ACCUSED OF MAKING A KILL LIST. INCITING SUCCESSFUL TERROR ATTACKS AND A PLOT THAT WAS FOILED ULTIMATELY IN NEW JERSEY. WE WILL BRING YOU NEW DEVELOPMENTS. >> WE ARE TAKING IT TO MIAMI WHERE THE POLICE ARE BLAMING A SUPERSTAR. YOU KNOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TYREEK HILL, THE MIAMI DOLPHINS WIDE RECEIVER. THIS IS A VIDEO OF HIM ON THE GROUND JUST BEFORE THE SEASON OPENER LESS THAN 20 HOURS AGO. HE ENDS UP GETTING CUFFED JUST STEPS FROM THE STADIUM AGAINST THE JAGUAR. THEY HAVE NOT YET RELEASED THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE OF THE INCIDENT BUT THE HEAD OF THE MIAMI-DADE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT VIDEO IS PART OF THE REASON WHY THE OFFICERS OFF THE STREETS FOR NOW. IF IT IS GIVING SOME SORT OF SHADE TO THE PEOPLE THAT IS BECAUSE IT DOES FEEL KIND OF SIMILAR. 24 HOURS AFTER POLICE PROMISED TRANSPARENCY THERE IS A QUESTION OF WHAT THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED HERE AND WHY. ONE THAT ONLY TIME WILL TELL A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO SEE THAT VIDEO FOR UNDERSTANDABLY REASONS. POLICING, QUOTE, THERE IS AN OPEN AND ACTIVE INTERNAL AFFAIRS, THEREFORE NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CAN BE RELEASED. ONCE THIS INVESTIGATION CONCLUDES THEY SAID, QUOTE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO FULFILL ALL PUBLIC RECORD REQUESTS. WE WILL HAVE TO SEE ABOUT THAT ONE. WE ARE ALSO HEARING FROM THE ASSOCIATION THAT SAYS THERE A VOICE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY MAINTAIN IN THEIR STATEMENT, QUOTE, UPON BEING STOPPED HE WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY COOPERATIVE WITH THE OFFICERS ON SCENE. THEY CONTINUE THAT IT IS PURSUANT OF POLICY WHY THEY PLACE HIM IN HANDCUFFS. THEY CONTINUE THAT HE, QUOTE, REFUSE TO SIT ON THE GROUND ONCE THE SITUATION WAS SORTED OUT WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, MR. HILL WAS ISSUED TWO TRAFFIC CITATIONS AND WAS FREE TO LEAVE. ONE OF THOSE OFFICERS IS ON ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES DURING THIS INVESTIGATION AND I WILL CONCLUDE AMONG THE PEOPLE THAT WE ARE HEARING FROM THE MIAMI- DADE WERE SAYING THIS IS TROUBLING. HE ENDED UP WITH A TOUCHDOWN IN THAT GAME. THERE SORT OF A CELEBRATORY MOMENT WHERE IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE DOING SOME KIND OF A MOTION OFF THE FIELD BUT HE ENDED UP SPEAKING PUBLICLY. TALK US THROUGH THAT PIECE OF IT. IN SHORT THE TWO MAJOR HEADLINES THAT I TOOK AWAY FROM THAT IS HE SAID, ONE HE IS UNSURE OF WHAT HE DID TO WARRANT BEING PUT IN HANDCUFFS HE WAS NOT BEING DISRESPECTFUL. HIS MOTHER DID NOT RAISE HIM THAT WAY BUT HE WAS UNSURE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF HE WASN'T THE FOOTBALL STAR THAT HE ISN'T RIGHT NOW. ONE OF THE REASON SOMEONE TOOK OUT THEIR PHONE TO RECORD THIS AND FURTHERMORE THAT THE VIDEO ENDED UP GOING VIRAL IS BECAUSE OF THE FOOTBALL STAR THAT HE IS. IN THIS INTERVIEW, THIS MOMENT ON CAMERA THAT YOU SEE AFTERWARD THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HERE IN JUST A MOMENT, HE IS EXPRESSING DOUBTS ABOUT WHAT THIS COULD'VE LOOKED LIKE IF IT WASN'T HIM THAT THIS HAPPENED TO >> I WANT TO BRING RACE INTO IT BUT SOMETIMES IT'S JUST KIND OF IFFY WHEN YOU DO. WHAT ABOUT IF I WASN'T TYREEK HILL? >> HE DID END UP HAVING A GOOD NIGHT ON THE FIELD. HE SCORED A TOUCHDOWN SO HE HIMSELF HAS BEEN ABLE TO SHAKE THIS OFF IN THE MOMENT BUT A LOT OF QUESTIONS STILL LINGERING AS THE INVESTIGATION JUST STARTS. >> A LOT MORE TO GET THROUGH IN THIS SHOW. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S WIFE, NEW DETAILS ON HER DIAGNOSIS IN JUST A SECOND. PLUS, BEYONCE, COWBOY CARTER SHUT OUT OF THE CMA'S, ARE YOU SURPRISED? WE WILL TELL YOU WHETHER HER FANS ARE. >>> PRINCESS KATE KATE MIDDLETON SAYS THAT SHE HAS NOW COMPLETED TOUGH CHEMO TREATMENTS, THAT IS AFTER SHE REVEALED THAT SHE WAS BEING TREATED FOR CANCER BACK IN MARCH. THE PRINCESS AND WELLS NOW THINK SHE'S GOING TO PICK UP A LIGHT SCHEDULE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR SHARING THIS ALL IN A VIDEO METHOD, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. >> MY PATH TO HEALING AND FULL RECOVERY IS NOT, AND I MUST CONTINUE TO TAKE EACH DAY AS IT COMES. I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING BACK AT WORK AND TAKING A FEW MORE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS IN THE COMING MONTHS. >>> ALSO TONIGHT, A SNAP THAT IS GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION, NOWHERE ON THE LIST, ZERO NOMINATION EVEN WITH THE HUGE MEGAHIT, TEXAS HOLD THEM IT WAS A FIRST TIME A BLACK FEMALE ARTIST WAS ON THE TOP COUNTRY CHARTS IT CAME OUT MONTHS AGO. ENDED UP WITH TWO NOMINATIONS OF HIS OWN. POSTING ON X, THANK YOU, BEYONCE FOR OPENING A DOOR FOR US STARTING A CONVERSATION AND GETTING US SOME OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE COUNTRY ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. IF YOU ARE LIKE, WAIT A SECOND WHY DO I THINK ABOUT BEYONCE, BACK IN 2016, REMEMBER WHEN THERE WAS SORT OF A RECEPTION FOR BEYONCE SHE HAD SUGGESTED THAT THAT IS WHAT INSPIRED HER TO CREATE COWBOY CARTER IN THE FIRST PLACE. HUGE ALBUM, MONSTER ALBUM. SECOND-BIGGEST OPENING IN THE AIR. IT WASN'T NECESSARILY THE COUNTRY RADIO STATION SHE WAS GETTING TONS OF PLAY ON STREAMING. THAT'S WHAT REALLY HELPED CATCH MOMENTUM AROUND COWBOY CARTER. ACCORDING TO SOME OF HER FANS IT FEELS PRETTY TONE DEAF. THERE IS A COMPLETE OUTRAGE AS YOU MAY KNOW, THEY ARE CALLED THE BEEHIVE, THEY'RE SAYING THIS IS RIDICULOUS, SHE IS SHUT OUT. CRITICIZING. WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHO IS THE VOTING BODY OF THE COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS, IT'S REALLY THE PAST WINNERS IT'S COUNTRY MUSIC STARS THEMSELVES, PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY. SO IT IS OBVIOUSLY, WHEN BEYONCE PUT THIS ON THE MOUNTAIN THE FIRST PLACE SHE SAID THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY ALBUM, BUT HER FANS, AND HER FANS PUSHED IT TO THE TOP OF THE CHARTS, THE EVEN PETITIONED APPLE TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATION OF THE SONGS FROM POP TO COUNTRY AND IT DID BECOME A COUNTRY SMASH IT. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE DOORS THAT SHE OPENED, SHE WAS ON A FEW SONGS OFF OF THAT ALBUM. IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. I WANT TO POINT OUT LOAN-LOSS X WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OUT FROM ALL NOMINATIONS EXCEPT FOR THE CATEGORY WHERE HE WAS NOMINATED ALONG WITH BILLY RAY CYRUS BASICALLY SAYING YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF BILLY RAY CYRUS. LOOK AT TRACY CHAPMAN LAST YEAR, THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN IN HISTORY TO WIN THE SONG OF THE YEAR FOR HER HIT SINGLE FAST CAR AND THAT WAS BECAUSE LUKE HOLMES PUT IT BACK ON THE MAP. SO YOU MIGHT SAY, DO THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH FEMALE BLACK ARTISTS AND THAT IS THE QUESTION THAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING TODAY. >> AND IT IS SO MUCH A PART OF THE CONVERSATION MORE BROADLY. THE ROLE IN COUNTRY MUSIC, SOMEBODY OBVIOUSLY NOT BEYONCE WAS ON THE ALBUM DID END UP GETTING A COUPLE OF NOMINATIONS AND PART OF THIS IS ABOUT ELEVATING SOME OF THOSE VOICES PUT ON THE ALBUM. MORGAN WOLIN WHO HAS HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST, HE HAS GOTTEN CRITICISM AND IN TROUBLE FOR USING RACIAL SLURS, HE IS LEADING THE PACK THIS YEAR FOR THE MOST NOMINATIONS AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE CHRIS STAPLETON, CODY JOHNSON. LANEY WILL SEND A RISING STAR IN COUNTRY MUSIC BUT FANS ARE SAYING YOU ARE NOT LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE. IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO THE OSCARS IT'S NOT EXACTLY THE SAME BUT LET ME JUST SAY THIS. WHEN YOU WATCH THE OSCARS AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU SAW THAT YOUR WERE NOT NOMINATED. PEOPLE WERE LISTENING TO BEYONCE. EVEN COUNTRY MUSIC LISTENERS EMBRACE BEYONCE WHY WAS SHE NOT NOMINATED. >> LET'S GET YOU OVER TO THE FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TONIGHT. STUDENTS IN GEORGIA COUNTY WILL HEAD BACK TO CLASS TOMORROW ONE WEEK AFTER THE DEADLIEST SCHOOL SHOOTING IN MORE THAN A YEAR. THE DEATH OF TWO STUDENTS AND TWO TEACHERS. THE MOTHER OF THE 14-YEAR-OLD GUNMAN CALLED THE SCHOOL THAT MORNING WARNING OF AN EXTREME WARNING. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE ON THIS STORY NEXT HOUR. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S WIFE HAS A FORM OF BLOOD CANCER SHE IS SHARING TODAY. SHE REVEALS SHE WAS DIAGNOSED BACK IN 2018 AND THAT IT HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR HER TO PERFORM. SELENA GOMEZ SAYS SHE IS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CARRY A BABY SHE DID NOT SAY EXACTLY WHAT THOSE HEALTH COMPLICATIONS WOULD BE. GOMEZ HAD A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT A FEW YEARS AGO. NUMBER FOUR IN JUST THE LAST FEW HOURS, APPLE ROLLING OUT THE iPHONE 16. THE FIRST MODEL DESIGNED AROUND A.I.. IT IS GOING TO CREATE CUSTOM IMAGES. THERE GOING TO COME OUT IN STORES LATER THIS MONTH. >> POPE FRANCIS, A THREE-DAY STOP. 10, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SHOWING UP TO SEE THE POPE. IT IS ONE OF THE POOREST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. MORE THAN HALF 1 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE COME TO THE OPEN AIR MASS TOMORROW. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANTLY LONG TRIP FOR HIM. WHEN WE COME BACK, A GOVERNOR SAVING A MAN WITH A LOBSTER STUCK IN HIS THROAT. YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED OF WHAT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THIS MOMENT, WE ARE ABOUT TO SHOW >>> NBC COVERS HUNDREDS OF STORIES EVERY DAY AND BECAUSE IT CAN BE TOUGH TO READ OR WATCH OR LISTEN TO THEM ALL, OUR TEAMS HAVE DONE IT FOR YOU. THIS IS WHAT THEY TELL US IS GOING DOWN THE IN THEIR REGIONS. MORE THAN TWO DOZEN PEOPLE ARE HER AFTER A 72-YEAR-OLD MAN DROVE INTO A BUILDING, POLICE SAY THAT ALCOHOL WAS A FACTOR IN THE CRASH. THE DRIVER IS NOW IN CUSTODY. >>> A FEDERAL TRIAL STARTING TODAY OVER CLAIMS THAT SUPPORTERS OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP THREATENED AND HARASSED A BITE INHERENT CAMPAIGN BUS IN TEXAS BACK IN 2020, DO YOU REMEMBER THIS MOMENT? YOU CAN SEE THE SO-CALLED TRUMP TRAIN DRIVERS HERE. THIS WAS AN ORCHESTRATED ATTACK MEANT TO INTIMIDATE THE PEOPLE ON THE BUS. THE DEFENSE CLAIMS THE DRIVERS JOINED THE TRAIN FROM A PEP RALLY. >>> NEW HAMPSHIRE'S GOVERNOR, YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS. HELPING TO SAVE A MAN CHOKING ON A LOBSTER ROLL DURING AN EATING COMPETITION. HE HELPS HIM OUT WHEN THIS GUY STARTS CHOKING HE STARTS TAPPING HIS CHEST AND NOBODY NOTICED AT FIRST, YOU CAN SEE HIM, HE HAD DOWNED ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE TWO ROLLS. HE GIVES IN THAT MANEUVER, FIRST RESPONDERS TOOK OVER. INCREDIBLY THE GUY FULLY RECOVERS AND GOES BACK TO THE EATING COMPETITION HE EATS IS SEVEN MORE LOBSTER ROLLS TELLING OUR EMPLOYEES THAT THEY WENT RIGHT DOWN THE GOAL IT. A THINK HE IS OKAY. >> SPEAKING OF MOMENTS IN POLITICS, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW NIGHT. THE DEBATE STAGE WITH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, THEY ARE IN THIS CRITICAL FINAL HOURS NOW GETTING READY, FINDING THE BALANCE BETWEEN PREPARING AND NOT OVER PREPARING. IT WILL PUT MORE EYEBALLS ON THESE TWO THAN ANY OTHER MOMENT LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION. FOR THE P HARRIS IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HER TO LAY OUT THE POLICY. AND NOT JUST FOR HER, THE REPLACEMENT ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. IT IS VICE VERSA, LET ME BRING IN THE COHOST. WE ARE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON THE SHOW. THANK YOU FOR DOING IT. >> THE TIMING IS INTERESTING. A FEW KEY STEPS FOR THE VICE PRESIDENTS TO DEFEAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT ONE OF THEM IS ESSENTIALLY TO LET DONALD TRUMP BE DONALD TRUMP TOMORROW. HOW DOES SHE DO THAT WITHOUT LETTING HIM STEAMROLL OR IS THAT PART OF THE POINT? >> I DON'T THINK SHE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO STEAMROLL. SHE CAN POINT TO THAT. I'M GOING TO SAY IT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY IT I THINK TRUMP IS WALKING INTO A GIANT TRAP. SHE HAS REALLY TOP PEOPLE PREPARING HER, SHE IS GOING TO HAVE LOW EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE ABIDE AND IT'S A HORRIBLE IN JUNE. AND I, I COULD BE EATING MY WORDS ON WEDNESDAY BUT I THINK SHE'S GOING TO DO QUITE WELL. WE WILL FIND OUT ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. >> YOU THINK SHE IS WELL PREPARED DO YOU WORRY THAT THERE IS A RISK OF OVER PREPARATION I JUST HAVE TO WING IT. I THINK SHE HAS FOUR OR FIVE LINES IN HER BACK POCKET. SHE IS ACTUALLY AN EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY. HE IS NOT THAT GOOD, HE'S NOT THAT GREAT. PEOPLE KNOW WHO SHE IS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE IS, I POINTED OUT IN THE PIECE. SHE CAN FILL OUT A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE OF WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE STANDS FOR. >> YOU HAVE TALKED ABOUT MAYBE THERE ARE SOME LINES IN HER BACK POCKET, YOU KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT LINES, THE PHASE IT IS THE ECONOMY WORKING WITH PRESIDENT CLINTON BACK IN THE EARLY 90s. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND YOU LOOK AT THIS ISSUE THAT YOU KNOW IS SO CRITICAL TO TELL US THAT AGAIN AND AGAIN. AND THE WAY THAT PEOPLE FEEL WHEN A LOT OF EXPERTS -- >> THE GAP IS CLOSED. PUTTING IT IN SINGLE DIGITS. I THINK SHE CAN TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS, IF SHE CAN ALSO CONTRAST FOR WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO, I DON'T THINK SHE HAS TO SEE THAT TO HIM AT ALL. I KEEP ASKING PEOPLE, WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE THAT THE ECONOMY WAS ANY BETTER THAN THE LAST YEAR OF PRESIDENT OBAMA >> SHE WILL BE ABLE TO DO JUST FINE. >> PEOPLE WHO ARE READY FOR IT, IT HAS BEEN INTERESTING, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING MAKING MORE OF THESE POLICY SECTIONS TO GET READY TOMORROW NIGHT. THAT IS A BIT OF A SHIFT. HE DOESN'T REALLY DO PREP HE DOES INTERVIEWS AND TAKES QUESTIONS IS KIND OF HOW HE GETS READY. WHAT IS THE APPARENT SHIFT FOR MAKING PUBLIC OF THE SESSION SAYING TO YOU? >> I'M KIND OF SCARED AND IT SHOULD BE SCARED. HE IS STUDYING POLICIES, HE IS DOING NO SUCH THING AND I CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS GOING TO WALK RIGHT INTO A GIANT TRAP TOMORROW. >> I'M SORRY ON ALL ME TO STEP ON YOU, I LOVE ZOOM BUT I HATE IT TOO. I WANTED TO GET A QUESTION IN ABOUT THE NEW DOCUMENT -- DOCUMENTARY COMING OUT. YOU CAME OUT EARLY, RAISING SOME OF THOSE ALARM BELLS WHAT KIND OF LASTING IMPACT, NOT JUST THE CYCLE BUT IN THE YEARS TO COME. >> I THINK PRESIDENT BIDEN MADE A LOT. I THINK HISTORICALLY THE DEMOCRATIC CHAIN IS GOING TO CORRECT THE DECISION BUT I DON'T SEE MUCH LASTING DAMAGE OF IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PEOPLE ASKED ME ABOUT IT, PEOPLE ARE BEATS AND THEY SHOULD BE UPBEAT. OF DONE A LOT OF THINGS IN MY LIFE, THAT'S JUST ONE OF THEM. >> INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>> COMING UP WE HAVE ANSWERS TO THE THINGS THAT I KNOW HAS BEEN KEEPING YOU UP EVERY SINGLE NIGHT THIS WEEK. WHERE IS FILE -- FYRE FESTIVAL TWO GOING TO BE AND HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST ME? WE HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW, THE MAN NOW OUT OF >>> IT'S TIME NOT TO AT THE BACK STORY, OUR BEHIND-THE SCENES LOOK, TONIGHT IT IS AN INTERVIEW YOU ONLY SEE RIGHT HERE ON NBC NEWS ON ONE OF THE MOST INFAMOUS SCAMS OF THIS CURRENT CENTURY. THE ONE INVOLVING THE DEPRESSION -- DEPRESSING FESTIVAL. YOU KNOW IT IS BACK, THE GUY WHO WENT TO PRISON FOR FRAUD OVER THE WHOLE THING, HE IS HOPING TO SELL TICKETS FOR WHATEVER IT IS GOING TO BE. McFARLANE HIMSELF IS NOW GETTING SPECIFIC, LITTLE BIT MORE'S THE SPECIFIC. WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE? HE SAYS APRIL OF NEXT YEAR. >> HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST YOU? ANYWHERE FROM $1400 TO MORE THAN 1 MILLION. WHERE IS IT GOING TO BE? A PRIVATE ISLAND, APPARENTLY THIS TIME OFF THE COAST OF MEXICO. WHO IS GOING TO BE THERE? McFARLAND IS PROMISING, HE SAID THINGS ARE GOING TO GO SMOOTHLY THIS TIME. >> HOW WILL YOU GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF GUESTS? AND HOW WILL YOU USHER GETS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL THAT THERE ARE NO SAFETY CONCERNS. >> THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE SAFETY IS THAT WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SAFETY OF THE FESTIVAL. WE HAVE HANDED OUR CONTROL TO A MAJOR SAFETY OPERATOR. >> THE BACK STORY? >> YES. >> IS HE SO FOR REAL? >> WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. HAS BEEN CONVICTED, HE SERVED TIME, HE STILL OWES A LOT OF MONEY TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. >> FOR THE DISASTER THAT WAS THE FIRST PART. >> THIS COMES WITH A GRAIN OF SALT THAT THAT'LL HAPPEN WHEN THAT WENT DOWN. I SPOKE WITH HIM FOR ALMOST AN HOUR. >> I DO HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION SOME OFF THE RECORD RIGHT NOW HE DOES HAVE A LEGITIMATE PARTNER AT THIS POINT. THAT IS WHO IS IN THE CONVERSATION ABOUT WHETHER THEY THINK THEY CAN HANDLE IT. >> THEY HAVE PRODUCED SEVERAL MUSIC FESTIVALS ALL OVER THE WORLD IN THE PAST. THAT IS INFORMATION THAT IS OUT THERE HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO TIE THEM RIGHT NOW TO SOME OF THESE DETAILS. THEY ARE JUST STARTING TO PIECE TOGETHER AND COME OUT. THE OTHER THING HE DID SAY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM IS THE LOCATION PLAN RIGHT NOW IT IS NEAR A REAL CITY, IT HAS INFRASTRUCTURES. GUESTS WILL STAY IN HOTELS, THEY WILL YOU RESTAURANTS, THEY WILL USE OF BATHROOMS THAT WERE NOT PUT UP HOURS BEFORE. >> RIGHT, BUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS SO, IN THEORY GUESTS COULD COME THEY COULD SLEEP, EAT . >> FIRST OF ALL, HIS STORY WHICH SOME PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET HAVE SAID THAT THIS IS ACCORDING TO BILLY BASICALLY THAT TRUE THAT GAS WENT UP AND ORDERED THOSE SANDWICHES. IF YOU LOOK LITTLE BIT WIDER THERE WERE TONS OF PICTURES, THE CHICKEN THE RICE THE STEAK THE SHRIMP THE VIRAL CHEESE SANDWICH OBVIOUSLY TOOK OVER. HE SAYS AT THIS NEXT FESTIVAL HE WILL BE SERVING CHEESE SANDWICHES. HE SAID THEY ARE GOING TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING ON THE MENU. >> HOW DO YOU COME INTO AN INTERVIEW LIKE THIS WAS SOMEBODY WHO LITERALLY WENT TO PRISON FOR FRAUD ABOUT THE TOPIC YOU ARE INTERVIEWING HIM ON? >> WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK WITH SOMEBODY AND THERE IS INTEREST THERE AND ALL OF US, YOU PART OF -- PARTICULARLY LOVE THE STORY, IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONVERSATION. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS UP TO. HE HAS BEEN HAVING THESE ANCILLARY EVENTS. IT IS PART OF HIS STRATEGY, HE WANTS TO CREATE A COMMUNITY RATHER THAN JUST THE MUSIC FESTIVAL. FOR EXAMPLE, THE 100 PEOPLE WHO SPEND ABOUT $500 ON TICKETS, WHO ALREADY PURCHASED THEM THE MINUTES THAT HE ANNOUNCED THEM IN THIS VIDEO THAT THE BATHROBE IS COMING BACK, THOSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INVITED TO EVENTS. I'VE TALKED TO SOME OF THEM I HAVE BEEN THERE. I AM TRYING TO JUST UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING, HE DECIDED TO SHARE THE DATE AND THE LOCATION. >> NOW IT IS TIME TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO GO AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, RIGHT? >> WE WILL SEE. >> CAN I ASSIGN IT TO A STORY? JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR DEDICATION. >> IT IS JUST LIKE WHAT IS THIS THING GOING TO BE? >> I'M CURIOUS. DO THINK ANYBODY WHO BUYS A TICKET WANTS TO BE A PART OF IT? >> A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO BE A PART OF THE AISLE, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. >> A LOT MORE TO COME HERE ON THE SHOW. INCLUDING WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE COURT BATTLE THAT IS GOING DOWN IN NEVADA. WE ARE GOING TO EXPLAIN IN OUR >>> TONIGHT, IN-DEPTH REPORTING ON A TOPIC A REAL-WORLD OF SUCCESSION SET TO PLAY OUT IN A COURTROOM. ALL EYES NOW ON THE FUTURE OF THIS NEWS EMPIRE AND WHO WILL E CALLED A REAL-LIFE VERSION OF HBO'S SUCCESSION -- >> YOU ARE INTELLECTUALLY INSECURE. >> Reporter: DUKING IT OUT IN COURT, THE BATTLE IN SECRECY IN FRONT OF A NEVADA JUDGE, THE JILL BIDEN THREE PROCEEDINGS ARE ALL CONFIDENTIAL. THE INFLUENTIAL MEDIA EMPIRE WHICH INCLUDES THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND FOX NEWS. >> IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND OUT WHETHER TRUST EXISTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PROBATE COURT. >> Reporter: EARLIER THIS SUMMER, A BOMBSHELL. HE MADE SURPRISE CHANGES TO, QUOTE, MAKE DECISION-MAKING POWER AND PUT HIM IN CHARGE. HE IS NOT ONLY SEEN THE DOCUMENT OR CONFIRMED ITS AUTHENTICITY. THE 93-YEAR-OLD CONSERVATIVE MAKER WORTH AN ESTIMATED 20 BILLION. REMARRIED FOUR TIMES AGED AND RETIRED. THEY WERE SET TO GAIN CONTROL WHEN HE DIED. >> IF I GO UNDER A BUS TOMORROW, IT WILL BE BEFORE AND AFTER. >> Reporter: EACH SHOW HAS BEEN REPORTEDLY IN AND OUT A FAVOR FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. >> I AM THE ELDEST SON. >> HE NOW APPEARS MORE ALIGNED WITH HIS FATHER'S CONSERVATIVE POLITICS. BECOMING THE HAND-PICKED AIR. HE IS THE CEO AND CHAIRMAN OF FOX CORP. AND THE CHAIRMAN OF NEWS CORP. NEITHER COMPANY RESPONDED TO OUR REQUEST FOR COMMENTS. JAMES JUST LAST WEEK ENDORSING KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT. A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE ATTORNEY THAT IS REPORTEDLY WORKING FOR JAMES, ELIZABETH, AND PRUDENCE DECLINED TO COMMENT ON A LEGAL BATTLE CITING A GAG ORDER. >> IT IS LIKELY THAT THEY WILL PREVAIL BUT IF THEY DON'T, THEN YOU COULD SEE A BIG SHIFT IN NOT JUST THE CONTROL, BUT ALSO THE POLITICS OF ARGUING IF IT WOULD DAMAGE THE FINANCIAL VALUE OF ALL OF THE ASSETS. >> HIGH DRAMA HERE AND EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT SEALED. BUT THIS IS A SITUATION IN NEVADA, THANKS TO A 2023 LAW, AND NEVADA'S PUSH TO BECOME THE STATE IF YOU WANT TO DO YOUR SECRET BUSINESS IS DEALINGS AND HAVE YOUR TRUST THERE. NEVADA WANTS YOU TO PARK YOUR BUSINESS UNKNOW OFDA. THEY HAVE CREATED LEGISLATION TO HELP THAT. IF YOU'RE PLAYING THE ODDS, SEEMS VERY UNLIKELY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO OPEN UP THIS PARTICULAR CASE. >> DANNY SA, WE'D BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T TELL ABOUT YOUR CAMEO. THAT DOES IT FOR US. >> WE'RE COMING ON THE AIR WITH UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS WEATHER COAST TO COAST WITH ONE STORM STRENGTHENING AS WE SPEAK, EXPECTED TO HIT LOUISIANA AS A HURRICANE DOWN SOUTH. AND OUT WEST, WILDFIRES IS THAT COULD GO IN LITERALLY ANY DIRECTION. WE'RE ON THE GROUND. WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE LIVE. >>> WE'RE ALSO FOLLOWING A BIG UPDATE OUT OF IDAHO WHERE A JUDGE IS MOVING THE TRIAL OF AN ACCUSED SERIAL KILLER CONVINCED BY ARGUES THAT IT COULDN'T BE FAIR WHAT IT IS. WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHETHER IT COMES TO THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE TO FOUR MURDERED STUDENTS? >>> BODY CAM VIDEO OF AN INTERVIEW BETWEEN POLICE AND THE ACCUSED GEORGIA SCHOOL SHOOTER. >>> THEN OUR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH NFL STAR TYREEK HILL. HOW HE'S RESPONDING TONIGHT, ONLY TO NBC NEWS, ABOUT THE TENSION DURING A TRAFFIC STOP RIGHT BEFORE THE SEASON OPENER. AND COWBOY CARTER GETTING NO LOVE TONIGHT FROM THE COUNTRY MUSIC WORLD. WHY BEYONCE'S HUMONGOUS COUNTRY ALBUM IS GETTING SNUBBED AT THE CMAS. >>> HEY THERE, I'M HALLIE. WE'RE STARTING WITH THIS SPLIT SCREEN OF INTENSE AND DANGEROUS WEATHER WITH FIRES BURNING OUT OF CONTROL IN THE WEST, AND THAT HURRICANE CENTER UPDATE ON THE NEWLY FORMED TROPICAL STORM, ONE THAT'S EXPECTED TO BECOME A HURRICANE TONIGHT. LET'S START WITH OUT WEST. A HUGE LINE FIRE BURNING EAST OF L.A. ONLY 3% CONTAINED RIGHT NOW. SOME 20,000 ACRES ARE GONE. THIS THING IS THREATENING MORE THAN 30,000 HOMES. SCHOOLS ARE SHUT DOWN. THREE FIREFIGHTERS ARE ALREADY HURT. AND HERE'S ONE OF THE BIG CHALLENGES. THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS FAIR IS GOING TO GO NEXT. 11,000 PEOPLE UNDER EVACUATION ORDERS WITH ONE COUPLE TELLING NBC NEWS THEY LANDED AT L.A. A X AFTER THE TRIP THAT THEY WERE TAKING, RACED HOME TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. >> WE HIGH-TAILED IT HERE AS FAST AS WE CAN. NOW THEY HAVE GOT THE ACCESS POINT CLOSED OFF SO WE'RE REALLY WORRIED. WE HAVE TO GET OUR PETS, WE HAVE TO GET MEDICINES, FAMILY MEMBERS. >> ONE OF THE BUILDINGS GOING UP IN FLAMES FLORET OF SAN FRANCISCO THIS IS THE BOYLES FIRE WHERE THOUSANDS MORE PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO LEAVE HOME. SOME 70 BIG FIRES. SOME OF THEM BURNING ACROSS 11 STATES. ALL OF IT HAPPENING AS THERE IS THIS SPLIT SCREEN WITH STORM PREPARATION DOWN SOUTH, LOOK AT THIS, PARTS OF LOUISIANA AND TEXAS BRACING FOR TROPICAL STORM FRANCINE, GETTING STRONGER, FASTER IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. AT LEAST ONE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS ALREADY SHUT DOWN PROTECTIVELY. YOU'VE GOT EVACUATION ORDERS GOING INTO PLACE IN OTHER PARTS OF LOUISIANA. BILL KARINS WILL BREAK THAT DOWN. I WANT TO START WITH NBC'S STEVE PATTERSON LIVE IN CALIFORNIA. TALK US THROUGH WHAT THE LATEST. ANY CHANCE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THEIR HOMES SOON? >> Reporter: NO, AND THAT IS FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. THIS IS STILL VERY MUCH AN ACTIVE FIREFIGHT. 23,000 ACRES NOW, THAT NUMBER JUST UPDATED. MORE EVACUATIONS. WE'VE SEEN FRESH EVACUATION ORDERS EVERY TWOOURS OR SO. SO THIS IS STILL BURNING OUT OF CONTROL IN MANY WAYS. YES, THEY HAVE A CONTAINMENT NUMBER, YES, THAT IS A POSITIVE SIGN, 3% CONTAINMENT. THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE THAT, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY NOT INCONTROL. PART OF THAT IS THE WEATHER SYSTEM, NOT EXTERNALLY, BUT INTERNALLY. THE ONE THAT IT HAS CREATED, PIE ROUGH CUMULUS CLOUDS, THE WINDS THAT IT IS GENERATING ITSELF MAKES ITSELF MORE ERRATIC. SO FIREFIGHTERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT WHICH DIRECTION THIS FIRE CONTINUES TO BURNINGS AND THEY WILL BE ESSENTIAL UNTIL THIS THING IS PUT OUT. I JUST SPOKE TO A FIREFIGHTER ABOUT ANOTHER PROBLEM, WHICH IS THE TERRAIN, INCREDIBLY STEEP. YOU CAN SEAT -- WELL, YOU PROBABLY CAN'T SEAT NOW BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS COVERED IN SMOKE. BUT FIREFIGHTERS ARE UP THERE TRYING TO TAKE AHOLD OF THIS THING. LISTEN TO THIS. >> THESE HILLS BEHIND ME ARE EXTREMELY STEEP. NOT ONLY STEEP, THEY'RE INACCESS YOU BELIEVE BY ANY VEHICLE, SO OUR CREWS HAVE TO HIKE IN WITH ALL THEIR GEAR ON. THAT'S WHAT IS MAKING THIS SUCH A DIFFICULT FIRE TO FIGHT. >> Reporter: STEEP, INACCESSIBLE, AND HERE'S THE LATEST INGREDIENT, MISERABLY HOT. HOPEFULLY TEMPERATURES WILL START TO DIE DOWN TONIGHT. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT. THAT'S WHY THEY GOT SOME MODICUM OF PROGRESS DONE. >> STEVE PATTERSON LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, THANK YOU. WE'VE ALSO GOT WHAT'S HAPPENING DOWN SOUTH THAT TROPICAL STORM PICK UP SPEED, MOVING WEST. IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO END UP AS A HURRICANE AT THE NEXT UPDATE, RIGHT? >> THAT ONE OR TOMORROW MORNING. EITHER WAY, YEAH. TROPICAL STORM ALREADY. EVERYONE'S TRYING TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. DO I HAVE TO EVACUATE? DO I NEED TO BOARD UP? CAN I JUST STAY IN PLACE AND RIDE THIS ONE OUT? THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE WHO LEAVES TO THE PORT ARTHUR/BEAUMONT AREA IS TRYING TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS ON, AT LEAST GETTING READY TO GO IN CASE THAT ORDER COMES. WE WILL START GETTING EVACUATION ORDERS LIKELY LATER TONIGHT OR TOMORROW MORNING, AND MOSTLY FOR SOUTHERN COASTAL AREAS OF LOUISIANA. POSSIBLY CAMERON PARISH. THIS IS THE FORECAST FROM THE HURRICANE CENTER. THEY BRING IT UP TO A CATEGORY 2 STORM. SERIOUS STORE. 100-MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS. ENOUGH TO DO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE WHERE IT MAKES LANDFALL. THIS AREA, NOT A LOT OF BIG CITIES. VERY SWAMPY. SMALL TOWNS, FISHING VILLAGES IN THIS REGION OF LOUISIANA. AFT MOVES INLAND IT'S GOING TO WEAKEN RATHER QUICKLY. THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS. BUT THE BAD NEWS, IT HAS EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH A HURRICANE. THE HEAVY RAINS, ISOLATED TORNADOES POSSIBLE. THEY TILL TO HAVE DEAL WITH FLASH FLOODING. THEN WE'RE GOING TO WATCH THE STORM WEAKEN AS IT HEADS UP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. HURRICANE WARNING, CAMERON PARISH TO MORGAN CITY. WE ARE EXPECTING, OUR COMPUTER MODELS, HALLIE, CENTRAL LOUISIANA, THEY'VE HAVE SHIFTED A LITTLE WEST. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHICH WAY ARE WE TRENDING. NOW WE'RE TRENDING BACK TO THE WEST. SO WE'RE TARGETING AREAS LIKE CAMERON, NEW I BEER I CAN'T, MORGAN CITY. 48 HOURS FOR THIS ONE TO PLAY OUT, BUT THIS DOES LOOK LIKE A SERIOUS STORM. THIS WILL LIKELY BE AT BIG DISASTER. >> YOU'RE THINKING WEDNESDAY MORNING? >> WEDNESDAY MORNING IS WHEN YOU'LL HAVE THE RAIN. YOU'LL SEE THE REPORTERS ON TV BLOWING AROUND. THEN WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAX STORM SURGES HIGHEST WINDS. THAT'S WHEN IT GETS DEADLY. >> BILL KARINS, A LOT AHEAD OF YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT FORECAST. >>> TAKE YOU OUT WEST. A JUDGE IN IDAHO IS MOVING THE TRIAL OF AN ACCUSED SERIAL KILLER AFTER HIS DEFENSE TEAM IS ARGUED THERE IS NO WAY HE IS GOING TO GET A FAIR TRIAL IN THE SMALL TOWN WHERE THE MURDERS HAPPENED. FOUR STUDENTS KILLED BACK IN NOVEMBER OF '22. THE VICTIMS YOU SEE THEM HERE, THEY WERE ALL FOUND STABBED TO DEATH IN MOSCOW, IDAHO. A STUNNING CRIME. WALL TO WALL MEDIA COVERAGE. A SIX-WEEK MANHUNT FOR THE SUSPECT, A TON OF SPECULATION ONLINE, THEN THE ARREST OF THIS MAN, BRYAN KOHBERGER. HIS LAWYERS FILED A MOTION TO CHANGE VENUE. THEY SAID ALL THIS COVERAGE MEANS WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIND A PAL OF IMPARTIAL JURORS IN THE TOWN WHERE IT HAPPENED. IN A DRAMATIC MOVE, JUDGE AGREED. LET'S BRING IN MORGAN CLOSE KEY. WHY WAS THIS SO DIFFICULT FOR THE JUDGE TO COME TO THIS DECISION HERE IN A TRIAL THAT HAS SEEN A NUMBER OF DELAYS BEFORE THIS THING GETS STARTED? >> YEAH, HALLIE, I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS IT WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THIS JUDGE KNOWS HOW MANY EYES ARE WATCHING THIS CASE, STEP BY STEP, SINCE THIS HORRIFIC TRAGEDY TOOK PLACE IN THAT TIGHT KNIT COMMUNITY OF MOSCOW. YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE KEY FACTORS IN CONTRIBUTING. NUMBER ONE, THE LACK OF RESOURCES THERE IN THAT COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY IN THE COURTHOUSE ITSELF, TO HANDLE A TRIAL OF THIS MAGNITUDE. NUMBER TWO, HE MENTIONED, OF COURSE, THE COVERAGE THAT THIS HAS GARNERED NATIONWIDE. BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT SOMETHING THAT'S VERY INTERESTING HERE, HALLIE, BECAUSE ON ITS FACE YOU COULD CALL THIS A WIN FOR THE KOHBERGER DEFENSE TEAM, BUT THE JUDGE AND THE DEFENSE TEAM BOTH REFERENCED A SURVEY THAT OOK PLACE BOTH IN THE COUNTIES WHERE THE CAPITOL IS LOCATED, THE TURNOUT IN LATAH COUNTY, 68% IDENTIFIED HIM AS GUILTY, 24% SAID KOHBERGER WAS DEFINITELY GUILTY. SO THEY WERE ARGUING FOR A CHANGE OF VENUE IN ANOTHER CITY TO HAVE THIS TRIAL IN ADA, WHERE BOISE IS LOCATE. STILL, 68% IS OF SURVEY RESPONDENTS SAID THEY BELIEVED KOHBERGER WAS GUILTY, 22% BELIEVED VERY GUILTY. EVEN WITH THE DEFENSE TRYING TO GET IT OUT OF MOSCOW, NOT SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES. >> WHAT ARE WE HEARING FROM THE FAMILIES OF VICTIMS? >> WELL, THEY WERE CLEARLY INCENSED AT THE RESULTS OF THIS JUDGE'S DECISION. I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU YOU KNOW WHAT THE FAMILY OF KAYLEIGH GONZALEZ SAID. IT SAID THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS DECISION IS IT WILL BE JUDGE'S LAST DECISION IN THIS CASE. IF THE JUDGE IN LATAH COUNTY COULD NOT HAM THE TRIAL FOR SAFETY REASONS, NOT ENOUGH COURT CLERKS, LO IMPIS PARTICULARSY DID WE WASTE OVER A YEAR IN A COUNTY HE KNEW WAS NOT GOING TO HANDLE THE TRIAL? AS FOR THAT TRIAL, HALLIE, DESPITE THIS BACK AND FORTH OVER VENUE, BACK ON JUNE 27th THEY DID SET THE DATE FOR JUNE 2nd, 2025. AS FOR WHERE IT WILL BE TAKING PLACE, TBD. >> WE THINK POTENTIALLY THE DEFENSE HAS ASKED FOR BUSY, RIGHT? >> THEY'VE ASKED FOR THAT. HOWEVER, THAT'S GOING TO BE UNDER THE DISCRETION OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR. >> MORGAN CHESKY, THANK YOU. >>> WE'RE LEARNING THE FUGITIVE SUSPECT ACCUSED OF RANDOMLY FIRING AT CARS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY HAD TEXTED SOMEONE A HALF-HOUR BEFORE THAT SAYING HE INTENDED TO, I'M QUOTING HERE, TO KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE. THESE DETAILS ARE COMING IN AN ARREST WARRANT OBTAINED BY NBC NEWS AS OFFICIALS LOOK FOR THAT SUSPECTED GUNMAN. THEY WANT HIM TO SUR RENDER AS THEY ARE STILL ON THIS MANHUNT. WATCH. >> IF HE DOES HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA, IF HE DOES HAVE A FAMILY OUT THERE THAT CARES FOR HIM, YOU KNOW, TURN YOURSELF IN. DON'T MAKE THIS WORSE THAN WHAT IT IS. >> POLICE SAY THE 32-YEAR-OLD WAS FAIRING AT ONCOMING TRAFFIC ALONG THE INTERSTATE THAT RUNS BETWEEN LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY, AND KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE, HITTING ABOUT A DOZEN CARS. FIVE PEOPLE SERIOUSLY HURT. TERRIFYING MOMENTS FOR SO MANY. ADRIENNE BROADDUS IS JOINING US NOW. WHERE DOES THIS MANHUNT STAND? >> Reporter: HALLIE, INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL SEARCHING BUT THEY ONLY AFTER FEW HOURS OF DAYLIGHT LEFT. AND ONCE NIGHTFALL HITS, IT IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR TEAMS TO ENTER THAT WADDED AREA, WHICH IS IS ABOUT EIGHT MILES FROM WHERE WE ARE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A RUGGED TERRAIN. AND THERE ARE ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS THAT THE SEARCH TEAM IS DEALING W. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ELEMENTS LIKE CAVES, SNAKES, AND SINKHOLES. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE ROTATING GROUPS OF 25 TO 50 PEOPLE INSIDE TO GO AND LOOK FOR THAT 32-YEAR-OLD. HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HIM SO FAR. HE SENT A TEXT MESSAGE TO A WOMAN ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE THAT HIGHWAY SHOOTING ON SATURDAY, SAYING IN PART, I'M GOING TO KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE. WELL, TRY, AT LEAST. HE ALSO SENT ANOTHER MESSAGE SAYING I'LL KILL MYSELF AFTERWARDS. WE HEARD FROM INVESTIGATORS THAT THE AR-15 RIFLE THEY BELIEVE THAT WAS USED IN THIS SHOOTING WAS PURCHASED ON THE SAME DATE OF THE SHOOTING. NOW THAT WOMAN WHAT HE SENT TEXT MESSAGES TO TRIED TO WARN OFFICIALS, CALLING 911 BEFORE THIS SHOOTING EVEN UNFOLDED. AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED, HALLIE. SOMEONE WAS SHOT IN THE FACE. ANOTHER PERSON WAS SHOT IN THE ARM. AND THEY'RE STILL LOOKING FOR THAT 32-YEAR-OLD TONIGHT. >> ADRIENNE BROADDUS AS THAT URGENT SEARCH CONTINUES IN LONDON, KENTUCKY. >>> TAKE YOU TO POLITICS. IN THE LAST HOUR WE'VE SEEN VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS LANDING YOU KNOW PHILADELPHIA, THE SITE OF TOMORROW NIGHT'S HIGH-PROFILE DEBATE. WANT TO SHOW YOU WALKING OFF AIR FORCE 2. THERE SHE IS. LOOK AT. YESTERDAY SHE DID A THUMBS UP UNPITTSBURGH. TODAY SHE'S GETTING READY FOR THAT BIG MOMENT 24 HOURS FROM NOW AS WE'RE GETTING SOME NEW DETAILS ON THE CAMPAIGN PREP FOR BOTH CANDIDATES. IT COULD BE ONE OF THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL MOMENTS IN THIS RACE. CERTAINLY THE HIGHEST PROFILE MOMENT YET. BOTH CAMPAIGNS ARE HOLDING WHAT'S BEING DESCRIBED AS EXTENSIVE PREP SESSIONS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. THAT'S A LITTLE SURPRISING FOR THE GUY ON THE LEFT, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. FOR AWHILE HIS CAMPAIGN HAS SAID HE DOESN'T REALLY DO FORMAL PREP, THAT HE DOES INTERVIEWS, TAKE QUESTIONS, AND THAT'S KIND OF ENOUGH. ALL THIS HAPPENING AS THE LATEST POLLS SAY THIS RACE IS NECK AND NECK, WELL WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR AMONG NATIONAL VOTERS, CORING TO THE SIENNA POLL. A SIMILAR STORY IN BATTLEGROUND STATES. WELL INSIDE THE MARGIN OF ERROR IN THOSE RUST BELT BATTLEGROUNDS. VAUGHN HILLYARD IS STANDING FOR THE LATEST ON THE TRUMP SIDE. I WANT TO START OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE. THAT SAME POLL SHOWED THREE IN 10 AMERICANS SAY THEY WANT TO KNOW MORE, THEY NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS. ONLY ABOUT ONE IN 10 SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP. HE'S HAD A NUMBER OF MOMENTS TO TRY TO INTRODUCE HERSELF TO AMERICANS, INCLUDING THOSE PRIME TIME SPEECHES AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION LAST MONTH, BUT THIS IS CRITICAL FOR HER. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING BEHIND THE SCENES ABOUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN? >> Reporter: THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN REALLY DOES LOOK FOR EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSCORE WHAT AN UNUSUAL SITUATION THE VICE PRESIDENT FINDS HERSELF IN. SHE DIDN'T GO THROUGH A LONG PRIMARY TO ESTABLISH HERSELF. SHE DIDN'T HAVE A LONG CAMPAIGN TO GET TO THIS POINT WHERE SHE HAVE WOULD HAVE DONE ALL THOSE BYE GRAPHICAL ELEMENTS. SO THIS DEBATE IS PARTICULARLY AL CHALLENGE. SHE HAS TO BE READY TO ANSWER ALL THE POLICY QUESTIONS. SHE HAS TO BE READY TO DEAL WITH WHAT DONALD TRUMP WILL BRING. SHE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE IN TERMS VERY PERM ATTACKS. BUT WHEN YOU SEE THOSE POLL NUMBERS IT REALLY DOES UNDERSCORE WHAT MIGHT BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THIS DEBATE, WHICH IS TO FURTHER INTRODUCE HERSELF TO THE COUNTRY. WE UNDERSTAND FROM OUR REPORTING THAT PART OF AS THEY HAVE EVE BUT IN PITTSBURGH AND DOING THIS INTENSIVE MOCK PREP SESSION, THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO ANSWER POLICY QUESTIONS WITH BYE GRAPHICAL ELEMENTS. SO CRITICAL NOW. >> SHE'S ALSO GOT THIS NEW POLICY PAGE UP ON HER WEBSITE OVERNIGHT. THIS IS AN ISSUE WHERE CRITICS HAVE SAID, LISTEN, SHE'S BEEN LIGHT 0 POLICY. IT'S TIME TO PUT SOME MEAT ON THE BONE. WE KNOW FOREIGN POLICY WILL BE FRONT AND CENTER. HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE LOOKING TO MAKE THAT AN ISSUE, RELEASING THIS LONG AWAITED AFGHANISTAN REPORT ON THAT CHAOTIC WITHDRAWAL, WITHDRAWAL THAT WAS IN ADDITION CRATED BY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE. THE WHITE HOUSE, DEMOCRATS HAVE SUGGEST IT'S PARTISAN, YET IT IS LIKELY GOING TO BE AN ISSUE THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT TRIES TO HIT HER ON. >> ABSOLUTELY. ONE OF HIS GOALS IS TO LISTENING HER TO ALL THE UNPOPULAR ITEMS OF PRESIDENT BIDEN. THIS IS ANOTHER BIG CHALLENGE. WE HAVEN'T HAD A SITTING VICE PRESIDENT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN A QUARTER CENTURY. YOU WANT TO CLAIM ALL THE GOOD THINGS OF THE ADMINISTRATION YOU'RE A PART OF AND DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM SOME OF THOSE THINGS, BUT IT'S A TRICKY QUESTION BECAUSE BUT CAN'T SAY I WASN'T PART OF THE DECISION MAKING AND STILL SAY YOU WERE A PART OF THE ADMINISTRATION. SO DEFINITELY AL TOUGH NEEDLE TO THREAD. >> OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT DAY AND A HALF. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LET'S BRING IN VAUGHN HILLYARD WITH A VIEW FROM THE TRUMP SIDE OF THINGS. WE ARE GETTING READY FOR A BIG DEBATE NIGHT, LOTS OF SPECIAL COVERAGE WITH THE POLITICAL UNIVERSE MOVING TO PHILADELPHIA. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN PREPPING AT HIS HOME. AND I SAY THE WORD PREPPING NOT LIGHTLY, BECAUSE THEY SAY DOES HE INTERVIEW, AND THAT'S HIS PREP. HE'S ACTUALLY DOING SOME POLICY SESSIONS. >> Reporter: THAT WAS AHEAD OF THE JOE BIDEN DEBATE, THAT DOES HE RALLIES. >> DONALD TRUMP WOULD NOT SIT AND DO A MOCK DEBATE. HE WHAT NEVER DO A 90-MINUTE SESSION. >> Reporter: THAT'S WHERE HIS PREP IS NOTABLE. HE DID THAT YESTERDAY. WE WERE TOLD HE'S GOING TO BE DOING A FEW SESSIONS TODAY BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY TO PHILADELPHIA. LET'S BE CLEAR. KAMALA HARRIS WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT HERSELF SHED A VISUALIZATION OF WHAT IT WOULD BE TO DEBATE DONALD TRUMP. SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY THAT SHE GOT TO PROSECUTE THE CASE TOE TO TOE. FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE THIS DIDN'T COME INTO FOCUS UNTIL KAMALA HARRIS TOOK OVER THE TOP OF THE TICKET. I'M TOLD BY HIS ADVISERS THAT HE IS FOCUSED ON TWO PARTS. NUMBER ONE, MAKING THE CASE TO THE ELECTORATE, THAT SHE WAS COMPLICIT FOR ALL THE ACTIONS BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THAT SHE WASN'T JUST A BYSTANDER AND NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE FOREIGN POLICY, ECONOMIC DECISION MAKING. >> SO LOOKING TO LATCH HER TO HER RECORD. >> Reporter: ABSOLUTELY. THE SECOND, THAT THEY WERE PREPARING FOR WHAT THEY EXPECT TO BE ONE-LINERS OR QUICK QUIPS FROM KAMALA HARRIS IN HOW SHE MAY RESPOND TO TRUMP AND HOW HE COULD TURN IT CK TO HER KNOWING SHE WILL BE EAGER AND PREPARED. >> WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR, VAUGHN, LOOKING TO SEE THIS INCREDIBLY HIGH PROFILE MOMENT? WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A SECOND DEBATE, WHAT'S CLEAR? >> I THINK IF DONALD TRUMP IS CORNERED INTO ANSWERING QUESTIONS AROUND POLICY DECISIONS OR JANUARY 6th OR UNDERLYING CLAIMS AND ALLEGATIONS OVER ANY OF THE INDICTMENTS, THAT'S TWO MONTHS AGO WHAT WE WERE BREAPG THE JOE BIDEN DEBATE, BUT DEMOCRATS ARE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THEY FELT LIKE JOE BIDEN MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY WITH THE AMERICAN ELECTORATE WATCHING TO HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR SOME OF DONALD TRUMP'S PAST ACTIONS, AND NOW THE QUESTION IS WILL KAMALA HARRIS TRY TO FORCE HIM, WE SAW IN THIS A JUMBLED, MUMBLED RESPONSE TO CHILD CARE POLICY, WHEN HE ACTUALLY IS HELD FEET TO THE FAIR ON POLICY SPECIFICS, WILL HE DELIVER, AND OVER THE LAST 48 HOURS, HE'S WORKED ON POLICY DECISIONS WITH THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THAT ARE ULTIMATELY GOING TO HOLD HIS OWN FUTURE IN THEIR HANDS. >> VAUGHN HILLYARD, GOOD TO SEE YOU. TUNE IN TOMORROW NIGHT WHEN COM LA HAIRS AND DONALD TRUMP FACE. WATCH ALL THE COVERAGE STARTING AT 4:00 P.M. EASTERN. OTHERWISE, 8:00 ON THE NETWORK. RIGHT HERE ON STREAMING. WE'LL SEE YOU THEN. >>> DEVELOPING NEWS. AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW THAT'S COMING INTO US WITH NFL SUPERSTAR TYREEK HILL. REMEMBER, IT WAS JUST ABOUT 24 HOURS AGO THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHERE HE WAS DETAINED AND HANDCUFFED RIGHT BEFORE THE SEASON OPENER FOR THE MIAMI DOLPHINS. HERE HE IS GETTING HANDCUFFED JUST FEET AWAY FROM THE STADIUM. POLICE HAVE NOT RELEASED THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE YET BUT THE HEAD OF THE MIAMI DATE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT VIDEO IS PART OF THE REASON WHY THE POLICE OFFICERS ARE OFF THE STREET ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE FOR NOW. THE POLICE UNION IS WEIGHING IN ACCUSING HIM OF NOT BEING IMMEDIATELY COOPERATIVE WITH THE OFFICERS ON SCENE, SAYING HE REFUSED TO SIT ON THE GROUND. MELISSA PARA IS LIVE IN MIAMI. WE JUST WRAPPED UP AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH TYREEK HIT. HE'S ASKING ABOUT THAT STATEMENT FROM THE POLICE UNION. WALK US THROUGH. >> Reporter: I AM ALSO WAITING TO SEE THAT INTERVIEW, HALLIE, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS HE SAID HE HASN'T RULED OUT TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST MIAMI-DADE POLICE, BUT I WANT TO TAKE WHAT YOU WE'RE HEARING IN THE INTERVIEW ITSELF. >> HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THE POLICE UNION HAS SAID ABOUT THIS? >> NO, I HAVEN'T. >> THE POLICE UNION SAYS YOU WERE DRIVING, LEADING UP TO THE TRAFFIC INCIDENT, PUT, QUOTE, OTHERS IN GREAT RISK OF DANGER, ACCUSING YOU OF DRIVING IN A DANGEROUS MANNER. >> OKAY. >> THEN THEY SAY IN THE AFTERMATH, YOU'RE SAYING YOU WERE COOPERATING, BUT THEY'RE SAYING YOU WERE NOT. SOUNDS LIKE YOU VERY MUCH DISPUTE WHAT THE POLICE UNION IS SAYING. >> EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN SIDE, THEIR OWN VERSION. I FEEL LIKE THEY DO THAT, THE OFFICER, WHICH IS RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE YOUR TEAMMATE'S BACK. BUT I FEEL AT HAVE -- KNOCKING ON THEIR WINDOW, AND THEY ALREADY GOT THEIR ID READY, IT'S LIKE, YOU NOT GETTING MY ID. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE, HERE GO MY ID. AND MY WINDOW, HE SAY LET IT DOWN, I LET IT DOWN. THAT'S WHEN IT WENT FROM 0 TO 10. OTHER OFFICERS CAME IN, PULLED ME OUT. >> QUICKLY ON THE OTHER SIDE WE KNOW MIAMI-DADE'S MAYOR HAS CALLED THIS WHOLE SITUATION TROUBLING. JUST TO RECAP, WE KNOW ONE PERSON HAS BEEN PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES AS THIS INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. BUT IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER OR NOT OR WHEN WE WILL SEE THAT POLICE WORN VIDEO. >> MARISSA PARRA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU CAN SEE MORE TONIGHT ON "NIGHTLY NEWS" WITH LESTER HOLT. THAT'S 6:30 ON YOUR LOCAL NBC STATION. >>> WE'RE ALSO GETTING OUR FIRST LOOK AT BODY CAM VIDEO OF A POLICE INTERVIEW WITH A TEENAGER SUSPECTED IN THAT DEADLY SHOOTING AT A GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL. THIS INTERVIEW HAPPENED LAST YEAR. YOU SEE HIM AND HIS FATHER TALKING ABOUT ACCESS THAT THIS BOY HAD TO GUNS. WE'VE KNOWN THIS INTERVIEW HAPPENED BUT IT'S OUR FIRST LOOK AT IT, AS STUDENTS AT APPEAR APPEAR APALACHEE HIGH SCHOOL GET READY TO RETURN TO SCHOOL. HIS MOTHER SOUNDED THE ALARM WHAT SHE IT'S YOUR TOP STORY PLAYLIST. STREAMING LIVE ON NBC NEWS NOW. >>> KATE MIDDLETON SAYS SHE HAS NOW COMPLETED TOUGH CHEMO TREATMENT. THE FIRST FIGURES WE'RE GETTING AFTER REVEALED SHE WAS BEING TREATED IN MARCH. SHE SAYS SHE IS GOING TO PICK UP A LIGHT SCHEDULE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR AND PUTTING OUT A VIDEO MESSAGE. >> I HAVE FINISHED CHEMOTHERAPY. MY PATH TO HEALING AND FULL RECOVERY IS DONE AND I MUST CONTINUE TO TAKE EACH DAY. I AM, HOWEVER, LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING BACK AT WORK AND UNDERTAKING A FEW MORE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS IN THE COMING MONTHS WHEN I CAN. I ENTER THIS NEW PHASE OF RECOVERY WITH A RENEWED SENSE OF TRUTH AND APPRECIATION OF MY FAMILY. >> MORE FROM OUTSIDE BUCKINGHAM PALACE. >> Reporter: WELL, IN THE WORDS OF PRINCESS KATE, IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLY ROUGH NINE MONTHS. SHE SAID THAT LIFE CAN CHANGE IN JUST AN INSTANT, AS ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH THIS WILL TELL YOU, THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE CHEMOTHERAPY, IT IS THE RECOVERY PERIOD AFTER THE TREATMENT, AND THAT'S WHERE SHE FINDS HERSELF NOW. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A GRADUAL RETURN TO WORK FOR KATE. AND IN THIS VIDEO, WE HEAR HER SAY THAT THE JOURNEY FOR HER HAS BEEN, QUOTE, COMPLEX, SCARY, AND UNPREDICTABLE. SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD TO FACE HER OWN VULNERABILITIES, AND THAT HAS GIVEN HER A NEW PERSPECTIVE. AND THE VIDEO IS QUITE AN INTIMATE PORTRAYAL OF THIS FAMILY. AS GLIMPSE INTEREST THE LIVES OF THE FUTURE QUEEN, THE FUTURE KING, AND THEIR THREE CHILDREN. IT SHOWS THEM IN A WAY WE'VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE REALLY, RUNNING AROUND ON THE BEACH, HAVING A PICNIC PLAYING CARDS. WE SEE KATE'S HEADRESTING ON THE SHOULDER OF PRINCE WILLIAM'S, AND A LEVEL OF AFFECTION THAT WE'RE NOT USED TO SEEING BETWEEN THE TWO, THIS AS PRINCESS KATE TALKS ABOUT THE FUTURE NOW AND WHAT WILL THAT LOOK LIKE WHILE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS SHE HOPES TO ATTEND A HANDFUL OF EVENTS. THERE ARE SOME BIG DATES ON THE ROYAL CALENDAR, THE NEXT ONE BEING REMEMBERING SUNDAY. THAT IS IN NOVEMBER. THE ENTIRE ROYAL FAMILY WILL BE ATTENDING. WILL SHE ATTEND?

NUMBER THREE, REPRESENTATIVES OF HARVEY WEINSTEIN SAID HE HAD EMERGENCY HEART SURGERY. THE DISGRACED MOVIE MOGUL MOVED FROM LIKERS ISLAND TO A HOSPITAL, SAYING HE DIDN'T FEEL WELL. BEYONCE SHUT OUT OF THE COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS. COWBOY CARTER GOT A GRAND TOTAL OF ZERO NOMINATIONS. THAT INCLUDES TEXAS HOLD 'EM. NOTHING FOR THAT EITHER. THAT WAS A MONSTER SONG. THE FIRST SONG BY A BLACK FEMALE OFFICE TO TOP BILLBOARD'S TOP COUNTRY SONGS. IT CALM OUT IN FEBRUARY. REPS FOR BEYONCE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND ABOUT THE SNUB. >>> NUMBER FIVE, POPE FRANCIS ARRIVING FOR A THREE-DAY STOP AS HE'S BEEN TRAVELING AROUND ASIA PACIFIC. TENS OF THOUSANDS. ONE OF THE POOREST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. THE CHURCH THERE HAS RECENTLY DEALT WOULD BE BALLS SCAMS. MORE THAN HALF A MILLION PEOPLE COULD END UP AT THE POPE'S OPEN AIR MASS TOMORROW AS PART OF HIS -- ONE OF THE LONGEST TRIPS HE'S TAKEN. HE'S DEALING WITH HEALTH ISSUES. >>> WHEN WE COME BACK, THE INTERNATIONAL MANHUNT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE TALKING A 15-MINUTE ATTACK WITH THE BIRD SCRATCHING, CLAWING HIS FACE AS THE GUY SPRINTED DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. OFFICIALS THINK IT'S THE SAME EAGLE THAT ATTACKED THREE OTHER PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN NORWAY, INCLUDING A TODDLER WHAT HAD TO GET STITCHES. THE BIRD WAS KILLED AFTER HURTING THE CHILD. >>> RIGHT NOW VICE PRESIDENT AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE IN THE FINAL HOURS OF PREP BEFORE TUESDAY'S DEBATE, MATCHUP THAT COULD PUT MORE EYES ON THESE TWO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES THAN ANY OTHER EVENT. FOR HARRIS, AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO DEFINE HERSELF. THAT'S WHAT HER CAMPAIGN IS HOPING, NOT JUST AS PRESIDENT BIDEN'S REPLACEMENT BUT AS THE PERSON BEST SUITED TO TAKE HIS JOB. I'M JOINED BY DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST AND CO HOST OF THE WAR ROOM PODCAST JAMES CARVILLE. WE ARE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON THE SHOW. THANK YOU FOR DOING. WE'RE THRILLED. >> THANK YOU. GLAD TO BE HERE. THANK YOU. >> TIMING IS INTERESTING BECAUSE WE WERE READING YOUR OP- ED IN THE "NEW YORK TIMES" THAT LAYS OUT A FEW STEPS THAT YOU THINK SHE'LL NEED TO DO TO DEFEAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT, AND ONE OF THEM IS ESSENTIAL TO LET DONALD TRUMP BE DOMESTIC DOMESTIC. SO HOW DOES SHE DO THAT WITHOUT LETTING HIM STEAM ROLL? OR IS THAT PART OF THE POINT? >> I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO STEAM ROLL. IT'S -- NEGOTIATIONS ARE IF SHE CAN POINT AT. I HATE TO SAY THIS, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY IT, I THINK TRUMP IS WALKING INTO A GIANT TRAP. >> WHY? >> I THINK SHE'S WELL PREPARED. SHE'S GOT REALLY TOP PEOPLE PREPARING HER. SHE'S GOING TO HAVE LOW EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE BIDEN DID SO HORRIBLY IN JUNE. IT'S NOT LIKE TRUMP DID GREAT. BUT BIDEN DIDN'T DO VERY WELL AT ALL. AND I SAY -- I COULD BE EATING MY WORDS ON WEDNESDAY, BUT I THINK SHE'S GOING TO DO QUITE WELL, AND I THINK HE MADE A BIG MISTAKE BY ACCEPTING THIS DEBATE. I REALLY DO. >> OKAY. CLIP AND SAVE THIS AND WE'LL FIND OUT ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, OR TOMORROW NIGHT. >> YOU CAN LAUGH AT ME IF I MAKE A FOOL OUT OF MYSELF. THAT'S OKAY. >> YOU THINK SHE'S WELL PREPARED IF. >> I DO. >> SHE HAS BEEN HOLED UP IN PITTSBURGH SINCE THURSDAY. DO YOU WORRY THERE IS A RINK OF OVERPREPARATION? YOU'VE SEEN AT WITH SOME CANDIDATES BEFORE. ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT SHE COULD BE OVERPREPPING? >> WHEN SOMEBODY DOESN'T STUDY VERY HARD, I DON'T KNOW THAT. I JUST GOT TO WING IT. NO, I'M NOT TOO WORRIED. THEY'RE PRACTICING THEIR TIMING. I THINK SHE HAS FOUR OR FIVE LINES THAT SHE KEEPS IN THE BACK POCKET THAT SHE CAN USE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT HE COMES UP WITH. SHE'S ACTUALLY AN EXPERIENCED TRIAL ATTORNEY, PROSECUTOR. AND HE'S NOT THAT SOMETHING. HE'S NOT THAT GREAT. AND SHE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY. HE HAS 100% KNOWLEDGE. PEOPLE KNOW WHO SHE IS. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE, I POINTED OUT IN THE PIECE. AND I THINK SHE CAN FILL OUT A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE OF WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE STANDS FOR. I THINK THE UP SIDE FOR HER IS MUCH BIGGER. >> YOU TALKED ABOUT MAYBE SOME LINES IN HER BACK POCKET. YOU KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT LINES. THE ONE THAT COMES UP FOR ME IS, IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID, THAT YOU ARE, OF COURSE, ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS OF, WORKING FOR PRESIDENT CLINTON IN THE EARLY '90s. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS ISSUE THAT IS SO CRITICAL SO-SO MANY AMERICANS, THEY TELL US THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN IN POLLS AND IN PERSON, HOW DOES SHE TRY TO CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN THE WHERE THE NUMBERS ARE AND THE WAY PEOPLE FEEL, IN TERMS OF THAT VINE SESSION, IF YOU WILL? >> FIRST OF ALL, THE GAP IS CLOSED, A LOT OF IT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT BIDEN WASN'T IN CONTROL. LAST TIME I SAW, WITHIN SINGLE DIGITS. THE ECONOMY IS NOT STATIC. THERE WILL BE A RATE CUT. SHE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT, CAPITAL GAINS TAX. AND SHE CAN ALSO CONTRAST HIS PATH, WHICH NEVER WORK. I DON'T THINK SHE HAS TO CEDE THAT GROUND TO HIM AT ALL. I KEEP ASKING PEOPLE, WHAT'S THE EVIDENCE THAT THE ECONOMY UNDER THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF TRUMP WAS ANY BETTER THAN LAST YEAR OF PRESIDENT OBAMA? I DON'T KNOW OF ANY. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SHOW ANYTHING TO ME ABOUT THAT. BUT SHE'LL BE ABLE TO DO JUST FINE. I GUARANTEE HE'S READY FOR IT. I PROMISE YOU SHE'S REALLY READY. >> SPEAKING OF PEOPLE WHO ARE READY FOR IT, WHAT'S BEEN INTERESTING IS OUR TEAM'S NEW REPORTING SUGGESTS FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING MAYBE MORE OF THESE SO-CALLED POLICY SESSIONS TO GET READY FOR TOMORROW NIGHT. THAT'S A SHIP. YOU KNOW THAT HIS CAMPAIGN HAS LONG SAID THAT HE DOESN'T REALLY DO PREP, HE DOES INTERVIEWS, HE TAKES QUESTIONS. WHAT IS THIS APPARENT SHIFT OR AT LEAST THE MAKING PUBLIC OF THE PREP SESSIONS SAY TO YOU ABOUT WHERE THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S HEAD MAY BE AT AS PREPARES FOR THIS DEBATING A GAINS VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS? >> I THINK HE HAS SUPPORTERS THAT ARE KIND OF SCARED, AND THEY SHOULD BE SCARED. THEY'RE TRYING TO REASSURE PEOPLE, OH, NO, HE'S IN PREP, HE'S STUDYING POLICY. OF COURSE HE'S DOING NO SUCH THING. I CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT HE'S GOING TO WALK RATE INTO A GIANT STORM TOMORROW. >> I'M SORRY, DIDN'T MEAN TO STEP ON YOU. I LOVE ZOOM, BUT I HATE IT, TOO. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE RAISING OF ALARMS OF PRESIDENT BIDEN'S CANDIDACY. YOU SPECIFICALLY ARE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT EARLY, YOU CAME OUT OUT VOCIFEROUSLY. WHAT KIND OF LASTING IMPACT DO YOU THINK THIS IS GOING TO HAVE? >> I THINK PRESIDENT BIDEN MADE A WISE DECISION. I THINK THE PARTY HAS COMPLETELY MOVED ON. I REALLY DON'T -- I THINK HISTORICALLY IT'S GOING TO BE VIEWED THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAME TO THE CORRECT DECISION LATE IN THE CYCLE, BUT I DON'T SEE MUCH LASTING DAMAGE FROM IT. I WOULD CERTAINLY RATHER BE WITH OTHER THINGS IN MY CAREER OVER THIS BUT I'M JUST SAYING, PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME ABOUT IT. NO ONE IS MAD ABOUT IT ANY MORE. PEOPLE ARE UPBEAT, AND I THINK THEY SHOULD BE UPBEAT. I'VE DONE A LOT OF THINGS IN MY LIFE. THAT'S JUST ONE OF THEM. I HOPE IT DOESN'T STAND OUT AMONG OTHERS. >> NO LONGER PERSONA NON GRATA WITHIN THE PARTY. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. >> YES, MA'AM. >> WE'VE GOT ANSWERS TO THE THUNK THAT I KNOW HAS BEEN KEEPING YOU UP EVERY SINGLE NATURE THIS WEEK. WHERE IS FYRE FESTIVAL II GOING TO BE, AND WHEN, AND HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST ME? GOOD THING OUR SAVANNAH SELLERS GOT AN OPPORTUNITY WITH THE MAN NOW OUT OF PRISON. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS IT. VOTERS. >> NEWS FOR THE GENERATION OF NOW IS NBC NEWS NOW. >> TIME NOW TO GET THE BACK STORY, OUR BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT HOW A STORY COMES TOGETHER AND HOW IT FITS INTO OUR BIGGER PICTURE. TONIGHT IT'S AN INTERVIEW YOU WILL ONLY SEE RIGHT HERE ON NBC NEWS ON ONE OF THE MOST INFAMOUS SCAMS OF THIS CURRENT CENTURY, THE ONE INVOLVING THE LEAKY FEMA TENT, THE DEPRESSING CHEESE SANDWICHES. THAT'S RIGHT, THE FYRE FESTIVAL, BECAUSE IF YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS SHOW, YOU KNOW IT'S BACK. AT LEAST THE GUY WHO WENT TO PRISON FOR FRAUD OVER THIS WHOLE THING SAYS IT'S BACK, AND HE'S HOPING TO SELL TICKET FOR WHENEVER IT'S GOING TO BE. BILLY McFARLAND HIMSELF IS NOW GETTING A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT FYRE FEST, THE SEQUEL WITH OUR SAVANNAH SELLERS. WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE? HE SAYS APRIL OF NEXT YEAR. HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO DISMAST ANYWHERE FROM $1400 TO MORE THAN A MILLION. WHERE IS IT GOING TO BE? A PRIVATE ISLAND, APPARENTLY THIS TIME OFF THE COAST OF MEXICO. WHO IS GOING TO BE THERE? NO BIG-NAME TALENT YET, BUT McFARLANE IS PROMISING THAT THINGS ARE GOING TO GO SMOOTHLY THIS TIME. >> HOW WILL YOU GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF GUESTS, AND HOW WILL YOU ASSURE GUESTS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY CONCERN? >> THE BEST WAY TO GUARANTEE SAFETY IS TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SAFETY AND SECURITY ASPECT OF THE FESTIVAL. WE HAVE HANDED OFF CONTROL TO MAJOR FESTIVAL OPERATOR. >> SA VAN ASAVANNAH SELLERS IS JOINING US NOW. IS FOR REAL? >> WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. HE'S BEEN CONVICTED. HE SERVED TIME. HE STOLE A LOT OF MONEY FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE. >> THE DISASTER. >> RIGHT. THIS COMES WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, THAT THAT ALL HAPPENED. THE WHOLE SHAKER. I SPOKE WITH HIT. I WAS WITH HIM ALMOST AN HOUR. >> TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT. >> I DO HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION, SOME OFF THE RECORD, IN TERMS OF WHO THIS PARTNER IS AND WHAT IS GOING TO GO ON. HE DOES HAVE A LEGITIMATE PARTNER AT THIS POINT. IS WHAT IS IN CONVERSATION WITH HIM ABOUT THE DATE, ABOUT THE LOCATION, ABOUT WHERE THEY THINK THEY CAN HANDLE IT. >> AND THIS IS THE PART YOU WERE REFERRING IN TO THAT SOUND BAIT. >> EXACTLY RIGHT. >> LIKE A LEGIT COMPANY THAT HE HAS PARTNERED WITH. >> THAT HAS PRODUCED SEVERAL MUSIC FESTIVALS. SO THAT'S INFORMATION THAT IS OUT THERE. HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO TIE THEM TO DETAILS. SOME IS JUST STARTING TO PEACE TOGETHER. THE OTHER THING HE DID ZANE HERE WHICH WE WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM, THE LOCATION AS PLANNED RIGHT NOW, IT IS NEAR A REAL CITY. IT HAS INFRASTRUCTURE. GUESTS WOULD STAY IN HOTELS, EAT AT RESTAURANTS. THEY WOULD USE BATHROOMS THAT WERE NOT PUT UP HOURS BEFORE. >> BATHROOMS. A BAR FOR THE FESTIVAL. >> RIGHT. BUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS DO EXIST IN THIS LOCATION. SO IN THEORY, GUESTS COULD YOU COME AND SAFELY STAY, SAFELY EAT. HE ALSO DID TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT THE CHEESE SANDWICHES. >> TELL ME NOW. >> FIRST OF ALL, HIS STORY, WHICH SOME PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET HAVE SAID THAT THIS IS ACCORDING TO BILLY, TWO GUESTS WENT UP AND ORDERED THOSE SAPPED WITCHES. THEY WEREN'T WIDELY GIVING THEM OUT. IF YOU LOOK A LITTLE FARTHER, THERE WAS TONS OF PICTURES OF THE CHICKEN, THE RICE, THE STEAK, THE SHRIMP. THE VIRAL CHEESE SANDWICH JUST TOOK OVER. BUT HE SAYS AT THE FESTIVAL THEY ARE GOING TO BE SERVING CHEESE SAPPED WITCHES. HE SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO BE AMAZING, THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING ON THE MENU. >> THE BEST $1,000 CHEESE SANDWICH. BUT HOW DO YOU INTERVIEW SOMEONE WHO LITERALLY WENT TO PRISON? >> WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK WITH SOMEBODY WHEN THERE'S INTEREST THERE, AND ALL OF US HAVE TO TALK ABOUT, I KNOW YOU PARTICULARLY LOVE THIS STORY, BUT I'M SALIVATING AT THE BRAIN, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. WE'VE BEEN IN CONVERSATION. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S UP TO. HE'S BEEN HAVING THESE ANCILLARY EVENTS OTHER THAN THE FYRE FESTIVAL, WHICH IS PART OF HIS STRATEGY. HE WANTS TO CREATE A COMMUNITY RATHER THAN JUST MUSIC FESTIVAL. SO THE 100 PEOPLE WHAT SPENT ABOUT $500 ON PARTICULAR, WHO ALREADY PURCHASED THEM THE MINUTE HE ANNOUNCED IN THIS VIDEO THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY SEE WEARING THE BATHROBE, COMING BACK, THOSE PEOPLE ARE INVITED TO ENT. I'VE TALKED TO SOME OF THEM. I KIND OF WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE OPERATION. EVENTUALLY HE WAS READY TO SHARE THE DATE AND THE LOCATION, AND HE DECIDED TO COME TO US. >> HE TELLS NOW IT'S TIME TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO GO. WE'LL SEE. NO, WE'RE SENDING YOU. >> IS THAT AN ASANEMENT? I ACCEPT. >> CAN I ASANE YOU? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> DEDICATED TO THIS STORY. IT'S JUST LIKE WHAT IS THIS THING GOING TO BE. >> I'M SERIOUS. >> I SAID, DO YOU THINK ANYBODY WHO BUYS A TICKET IS KIND OF WONDERING IN THE'S GOING TO FAIL AGAIN? HE SAID, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT IS WHAT IT IS. THEY WANT TO BE PART OF THE OUTCOME. >> SAVANNAH SELLERS, HOT, FRESH. >> THANK YOU. >> A LOT MORE COMING INCLUDING THIS SECRETIVE COURT BATTLE IN NEVADA. WE'RE GOING TO EXPLAIN IN OUR ORIGINAL, COMING UP. KRISTEN WEL THE PRESS" EVERY SUNDAY ON NBC. >> TO TONIGHT'S ORIGINAL WITH IN-DEPTH REPORTING ON A TOING WE'VE BEEN WATCHING. TONIGHT IT'S THIS REAL-WORLD VERSION OF SUCCESSION SET TO PLAY OUT IN SECRET IN A NEVADA COURTROOM INVOLVING THE VERY FAMILY THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE INSPIRED THE HBO DRAMA, THE MURDOCHS. ALL EYES ARE ON THE FUTURE OF THIS CONSERVATIVE EMPIRE AND WHO WILLCALLED A REAL-LIFE VERSION OF HBO'S "SUCCESSION" -- YOU'RE INDIRECT, YOU'RE GREEN, YOU'RE INSECURE. >> THE BATTLE SET TO BEGIN THIS MONTH IN FRONT OF A NEVADA JUDGE WITH A COURT ADMINISTRATOR CONFIRMING THE PROCEEDINGS ARE CONFIDENTIAL. HIS EMPIRE INCLUDES THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE NEW YORK POST, AND FOX NEWS. >> NEVADA HAS THE HIGHEST SECRECY LAWS IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO TRUSTS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND OUT WHETHER A TRUST EXISTS. MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PROBATE COURT. >> Reporter: BUT EARLIER THIS ASSUME, BOMBSHELL. THE "NEW YORK TIMES" REPORTING CITING A FIELD COURT DOCUMENT IT OBTAINED THAT MR. MURDOCH MADE SURPRISE CHANGES TO THE FAMILY TRUST TO, QUOTE, CONSOLIDATE DECISION MAKING POWER AND PUT LACHLAN, HIS ELDEST SON, IN CHARGE. NBC NEWS HAS NOT INDEPENDLY CONFIRMED IT HAS SEEN THE DOCUMENT OR CONFIRMED IT. IT'S LONG BEEN FODDER FOR SPECULATION. FOUR OF HIS CHILDREN, LASH LAN, JAMES, PRUDENCE, AND ELISABETH WERE SET TO GAIN CONTROL ONCE HE DIES. >> IF I GO UNDER A BUS TOMORROW, IT WILL BE THE FOUR OF THEM THAT HAVE TO DECIDE. >> BUT, MUCH LIKE IN THE HBO SHOW, EACH CHILD HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN IN AND OUT OF FAVOR WITH THEIR FATHER OVER THE YEARS. >> WHAT IF I WANT TO TAKE OVER BECAUSE I AM THE ELDEST SON? >> LACHLAN, ONCE CONSIDERED A LONG SHOT, NOW APPEARS MORE ALIGNED WITH HIS FATHER'S POLITICS, BECOMING THE HAND- PICKED HEIR. HE'S THE CHAIRMAN OF NEWS CORP. NEITHER COMPANY RESPONDED FOR COMMENT. THE OTHER CHILDREN MORE MODERATE, JAMES ENDORSING KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT. A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE ATTORNEY THAT'S REPORTEDLY WORKING FOR JAMES, ELISABETH, AND PRUDENCE DECLINED TO COMMENT ON THE LEGAL BATTLE CITING A GAG ORDER. WE DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM RUPERT'S ATTORNEY. >> IT'S LIKELY THAT RUPERT MURDOCH AND LACHLAN WILL PREVAIL, BUT IF THEY DON'T, THEN YOU COULD SEE A BIG SHIFT IN NOT JUST THE CONTROL BUT ALSO THE POLITICS OF NEWS CORP AND RUPERT MURDOCH ARGUES THAT WOULD ALSO DAMAGE THE FINANCIAL VALUE OF ALL THOSE ASSETS. BECOME THE SPACE IF YOU WANT TO DO YOUR SECRET BUSINESS DEALINGS AND HAVE YOUR TRUST THERE. NEVADA WANTS YOU TO PARK YOUR TRUST IN NEVADA AND HAVE CREATED LEGISLATIONS FOR THAT. IT'S VERY UNLIKELY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN UP. >> DANNY CEVALLOS, WE WOULD BE REMISS IF WE DID NOT MENTION
