Hallie Jackson NOW - Aug. 7 | NBC News NOW

INFORMATION FIRST WHEN IT COMES AVAILABLE. THANK YOU. GREAT TO SEE YOU. WE'RE BACK TOMORROW WITH MARK MEET THE PRESS. NOW THE NEWS CONTINUES WITH HALLIE JACKSON RIGHT NOW >>> ON THE AIR WITH BREAKING NEWS BRICK OFFICIALS SAY TAYLOR SWIFT SHOWS IN VIENNA THIS WEEK WILL BE CANCELED BECAUSE OF A THWARTED TERROR PLOT OUT OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY, THEY SAY. WHAT WE KNOW TONIGHT ABOUT HOW POLICE STOPPED THE SUSPECTS ALLEGEDLY PLANNING TO TARGET THE MASSIVE CROWD SUPPORTING ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST STARS. LOTS OF NEW DEVELOPMENTS ON THAT FRONT? >>> AND AT HOME MILLIONS ARE BRACING FOR DEBBY TO MAKE LANDFALL AGAIN, MAYBE AS AN EVEN STRONGER STORMS WITH FIRST RESPONDERS RESCUING STRANDED PEOPLE. MORE DANGEROUS FLOODING IS ON THE WAY. WE ARE LIVE WITH OUR TEAM IN THE PATH. >>> THE BATTLEGROUND BLITZ FOR THE NEW DEMOCRATIC TICKET ON THE ROAD AND ON THE TARMAC, BUT SO IS J.D. VANCE. WHY THE GOP VP PICK WALKED UP TO VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS'S PLANE TODAY AND A REALITY CHECK ON SOME OF THIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN'S NEWEST ATTACKS. >>> THE STARTLING REBEL FROM NASA AND BOEING ON THOSE ASTRONAUTS WHO SAY THEY'RE NOT REALLY STUCK IN SPACE OR TRUNK THAT THEY MAY BE NOT STUCK FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS. WHAT IS NEXT AND HOW A 10 DAY TRIP TURNED INTO HALF A YEAR. IT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD OUTER SPACE REPORT OF GILLIGAN'S ISLAND. >>> NEW ALLEGATIONS AND A LAWSUIT AFTER THAT TIGHTNESS UP IMPLOSION WITH THE FAMILY OF ONE OF THE MEN KILLED, THE BIGGEST TITANIC WRECK EXPERTS WANTS TO SEE NOW. >>> WE ARE STARTING WITH NEWS OUT OF VIENNA WERE OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE CANCELING MULTIPLE TAYLOR SWIFT SHOWS. THIS IS OUT OF SAFETY CONCERNS AFTER POLICE THERE SAID HE UNCOVERED WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS AN ISIS-LINKED TERROR PLOT ARRESTING TWO MEN CONNECTED TO THEM AS AND POTENTIALLY NARROWLY AVOIDING A HORRIFIC NIGHTMARE. THIS IS WHAT THE SWIFT WEBSITE LOOKS LIKE. UNDER EACH OF THE CONCERT DATES IT SAYS ALL TICKETS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY FUNDED IN THE NEXT 10 DAYS. THE SHOWS WERE SUPPOSED TO START TOMORROW NIGHT AND GO INTO THE WEEKEND. NOTE THAT THIS ATTACK WAS NOT DIRECTLY TARGETING SWIFT HERSELF , BUT APPARENTLY ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS THAT DID HONE IN ON HER CONCERTS. FEDERAL AND STATE POLICE IN AUSTRIA SAY IT WAS PART OF A PLAN TO ATTACK MAJOR EVENTS ACROSS VIENNA. THEY SAID THEM AND THEY ARRESTED WERE APPARENTLY RADICALIZED TO THE INTERNET. TOM WINTER IS ALL OVER THIS FOR US TONIGHT. BRING US UP TO SPEED. WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT DOES THIS GO? >> Reporter: RIGHT NOW AUTHORITIES IN AUSTRIA ACCORDING TO TWO U.S. OFFICIALS BRIEFED ON THE INVESTIGATION SAY THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ONE OR PERHAPS MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE ATTACK. THAT IS NEW. AND AS WE HEARD FROM THE AUSTRIAN POLICE OFFICIALS EARLIER TODAY, THIS IS AN ACTIVE AND ONGOING INVESTIGATION. TO LET PEOPLE KNOW HOW THIS CAME ABOUT -- THE AUSTRIANS PUT THESE INDIVIDUALS UNDER SOME FORM OF SURVEILLANCE. THEY WERE ON TOP OF WHAT THEY WERE PLOTTING AND ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS, THE 19-YEAR-OLD ARRESTED IN LOWER AUSTRIA, WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING CHEMICALS AND HAD PURCHASED SOME CHEMICALS THAT COULD'VE BEEN USED TO DEVELOP A BOMB. AT SOME POINT THEY WERE RUNNING CLOSE TO THE WEEKEND EVENTS. AND TO BE CLEAR, IT WASN'T AS IF THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE WEEK IN INDIANA AND SAID, WE WANT TO CONDUCT AN ATTACK. WHAT'S PLAYING AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN VIENNA? THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON THE TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT IN THESE LARGE EVENTS. OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 65,000 PEOPLE ATTENDING THE CONCERT. ANOTHER 15,000 TO $20,000 IN DOWNTOWN VIENNA PROPERTY SO THIS HAD SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY WOULD'VE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT BASED ON PRIOR INVESTIGATIONS -- IT THE WAY THEY WOULD CONDUCT THIS ATTACK WAS NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE TO THEM, WHAT THEY HAVE CONDUCTED AN ATTACK ANOTHER WAY? I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE CONCERN HERE BASED ON OFFICIALS WE'VE SPOKEN TO ABOUT HOW THIS INVESTIGATION WENT DOWN. THEY SAID THE SAFEST THING TO DO IS PUT HANDCUFFS ON THESE PEOPLE AND GET THEM BEHIND BAR . >> HELP US UNDERSTAND. OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS AS THIS HAS UNFOLDED AND WE LEARNED MORE DETAILS IS SOUNDED INITIALLY OFFICIALS IN AUSTRIA SAID THEY WERE NOT PLANNING TO CANCEL THE CONCERTS. NOW WE SEE THIS UPDATE ON THE WEBSITE AND IF YOU CLICK THROUGH THE LINKS YOU SEE A STATEMENT FROM THE ORGANIZERS SAYING THE SHOWS HAVE BEEN CANCELED OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION AND SAFETY CONCERNS. WHY THE FLIP? >> Reporter: RIGHT. OFFICIALS ARE TYPICALLY LOATH TO SAY TO AN EVENT YOU MUST CANCEL UNLESS THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN PUT THIS ON WITHOUT SOMEONE GETTING INJURED OR WORSE. NUMBER TWO, I THINK THEY FELT THEY HAD A GOOD PLAN IN PLACE. AUSTRIA HAS A TEAM CALLED THE COBRA TEAM, WHICH IS ANALOGOUS TO THE FBI'S HRT OR HOSTAGE RESCUE TEAM, WHERE THE NYPD ESU TEAM. THESE ARE PEOPLE WITH HEAVY WEAPONS TRAINED TO FACE THE THREAT LIKE THE THREAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN FACING HERE. I THINK ULTIMATELY IF YOU ARE AN EVENT ORGANIZER YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE LIABILITY AND THE CONCERN, AND I'M SURE THERE WERE PEOPLE BECAUSE SOME OF HER OWN COLLEAGUES WHO WERE PLANNING TO ATTEND THE SHOW REACHED OUT TO ME THAT HAD CONCERNS COME AND PERHAPS SOME SECOND THOUGHTS. I THINK THAT GOES INTO THE CALCULUS HERE. I THINK THIS EVENT WILL BE COULD HAVE GONE OFF. THERE IS A SCHOOL OF THOUGHT THAT WHEN YOU CANCEL THESE EVENTS AND PEOPLE DO UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF THE ORGANIZERS AND THE PERFORMER AND ALL THOSE THAT WOULD'VE WANTED TO ATTEND, THAT YOU MAY BE PLAYING INTO THE HANDS OF A POTENTIAL TERRORIST. THAT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. >> WHERE DOES THIS GO NEXT AND DO WE HAVE A SENSE OF A TIMELINE FOR HOW THE INVESTIGATION PLAYS OUT? YOU MENTIONED THEY ARE STILL LOOKING FOR ANYONE LINK TO OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ALLEGED PLOT. >> Reporter: THERE'S A LOT GOING ON HERE BEHIND THE SCENES AND TO TAKE A QUICK STEP BACK, THERE ARE BEEN A NUMBER OF POTENTIAL PLOTS ON THE OLYMPICS ITSELF THAT WERE FOILED PRIOR TO THIS. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF OTHER INCIDENTS IN EUROPE, ALL WITH TIES OR CONNECTIVE TISSUE TO ISIS SO I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO BE CONCERNED THERE REMAINS THE THREAT INTO SOMETHING THE FBI HAS TALKED ABOUT ON THE RECORD FROM THE DIRECTOR HIMSELF OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH. THERE IS DEFINITELY CONCERN OF A HEIGHTENED TERRORISM ENVIRONMENT. THE ENVIRONMENT WAS INCREASING PRIOR TO THE HAMAS ATTACK ON OCTOBER 7 AND HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE FROM THERE SO THIS IS SOMETHING LAW-ENFORCEMENT IS ACUTELY AWARE OF AND WHEN THIS CHAPTER IS FINALLY WRITTEN ARE THE BOOK ON THIS PARTICULAR ATTACK IS WRITTEN, IT WILL SHOW AN AWFUL LOT OF COORDINATION AMONG LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AROUND THE GLOBE AND WORK HERE THAT PERHAPS STOP SOMETHING THAT COULD'VE BEEN QUITE SERIOUS. >> TOM WINTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING. >>> LET'S BRING YOU BACK HOME WHERE AS WE SPEAK, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DOWN SOUTH ARE BRACING FOR TROPICAL STORM DEBBY TO STRENGTHEN AGAIN JUST HOURS FROM NOW AND SLAMMED THE EAST COAST FOR THE SECOND TIME, POSSIBLY TRIGGERING MORE DANGEROUS FLOODING. TREES ARE DOWN ON STREETS AND HOUSES. ROADS ARE INUNDATED. LOOK AT THOSE FOLKS AT THE BOTTOM FORCED TO EVACUATE PICTURES AND TABLES LITTERING THE PARKING LOT AT THIS ARBY'S IN SOUTH CAROLINA. OUR WEATHER TEAM TELLS US AS THE STORM CREEPS UP THE COAST, INTENSE FLASH FLOODING, STORM SURGE AND TURN IT IS A POSSIBLE EVEN HUNDREDS OF MILES NORTH OF WHERE I'M SITTING IN WASHINGTON. MAYBE UP TO BOSTON BUT THE OUTER BANDS OF THE STORM SYSTEM ARE ALREADY HITTING NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY WHERE YOU CAN SEE SOME PEOPLE RESCUED AFTER FLOODING FROM MONSTER RAINSTORMS. LET'S GET TO OUR TEAM ON THIS. I WANT TO START WITH MAGGIE VESPA IN SOUTH CAROLINA. FOR THEM IT'S LIKE, HERE WE GO AGAIN. >> Reporter: I KNOW. EXACTLY. THIS IS A WEIRD LOW. YOU CAN SEE THE RAIN HAS NOT STOPPED COMING DOWN SPORADICALLY THROUGH THE DAY BUT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING TO PREPARE WHILE THEY HAVE THIS BREAK AND A CHANCE TO CATCH THEIR BREATH IS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME THOSE TWO TYPES LEANING OFF THE EDGE. THEY HAVE BEEN PUMPING FLOODWATER FROM THE CITY STORM WATER COLLECTION SYSTEM, BASIC, BACK INTO CHARLESTON HARBOR. THE REASON WE HAVE BACKGROUND NOISE IS THEY HAVE BEEN RUN BY TWO MASSIVE GENERATORS OVER HERE. THESE PUMPS AND GENERATIONS ARE STATIONED ON THE HARBOR. AT LEAST THREE OR FOUR. THEY HAVE TENDER OF THE CITY TO TRY TO GET RID OF THE FLOODWATER THEY CAN WHILE THEY WAIT FOR THIS ROUND TWO. LET ME SHOW YOU THE VIDEO ON HOW BAD THIS IS BEEN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS PICK DEBBY MADE LANDFALL AS A TROPICAL HURRICANE AND THEN, EXCUSE ME, CATEGORY 1 HURRICANE AND BECAME A TROPICAL STORM MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH GEORGIA AND THE CAROLINAS. WE HAD FLOODING IN NEIGHBORHOODS YESTERDAY. AND BASICALLY THE PEOPLE WE TALKED TO SAID THIS IS REALLY FREAKING THEM OUT, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO JUST MOVED TO THIS AREA. WE TALKED TO ONE WOMAN WHO GOT HERE A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND THIS IS HER FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A HURRICANE. >> Reporter: 22 DAYS AGO. >> YES. JUST IN TIME FOR DEBBY. [ LAUGHTER ] GOT HERE SATURDAY NIGHT AROUND 9:00 P.M. AND THEN THE WARNINGS STARTED COMING AROUND 10:00. I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT LOSING ELECTRICITY, I THINK, AND ALSO IF YOU DO START GETTING WATER IN THE HOUSE, WHAT CAN YOU DO AT THIS POINT? >> Reporter: EXACTLY. WHAT CAN YOU DO? PEOPLE HERE ARE BRACING AND RELYING ON INFRASTRUCTURE AND TACTICS LIKE THIS. SHE BROUGHT UP LOSING POWER. POWER OUTAGES HAVE BEEN A HUGE ISSUE. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER ACROSS MULTIPLE STATES INITIALLY. IT HAS BEEN COMING BACK ON BUT EVERYBODY BRACING FOR DEBBY'S ACT TWO UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST . >> MAGGIE VESPA IN SOUTH CAROLINA. THANK YOU. STAY DRY AND SAFE. WHERE IS THIS THING HEADING NEXT AND HOW STRONG IS IT REALLY GOING TO BE? >> INTERMISSION OR HAVE TIME IS JUST ABOUT OVER AND NEVER GETTING READY FOR ACT TWO. AS IT MOVES INLAND IT WILL BE ANOTHER FLOOD EVENT. IT'S AT 60 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE WIND IN THE HURRICANE CENTER AND MAKE IT STRONGER AROUND 65 BUT THAT WILL NOT BE THE ISSUE PICK I'M NOT EXPECTING A LOT OF POWER OUTAGES. AS A FLOOD STORY THE NEXT 48 HOURS. AND YOU CAN SEE DURING THE DAY THE RAIN HAS INCREASED AND INTERIOR SECTIONS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND PORTIONS OF NORTH CAROLINA. THE NEW UPDATE SHOWS LANDFALL AROUND 2:00 A.M. DEAR GEORGETOWN BETWEEN GEORGETOWN AND CHARLESTON AND BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON IT WILL CROSS FROM SOUTH CAROLINA INTO NORTH CAROLINA. THIS SLOW-MOTION WILL KEEP THOSE HEAVY RAIN BANDS FROM FLORENCE THROUGH FAYETTEVILLE AND THAT WILL BE THE AREA OF GREATEST CONCERN FOR FLOODING. THEN WE TAKE THE STORM OVER CENTRAL VIRGINIA, THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA AND UPSTATE NEW YORK INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF VERMONT AND THAT WILL BRING THE RISK OF FLOODING AND MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AS WE GO THROUGH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. FLOOD WATCHES NOW FROM STATE COLLEGE THROUGH SAVANNAH. WE HAVE SOME FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ISSUED IN SOUTH CAROLINA AS THE RAIN BANDS ARE PICKING UP YOUR ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COME ON TOP OF THE SIX INCHES OF RAIN SHOWS SIX OR SEVEN INCHES IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND NORTH CAROLINA. I'M CONCERNED WITH THE MOUNTAINS OF VIRGINIA AND A WIDE TWO TO FOUR INCHES THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA AND UPSTATE NEW YORK. WE ARE JUST BEGINNING THE NEXT STAGE. TOMORROW AT THIS TIME I GUARANTEE WE WILL HAVE FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCIES OUT THERE. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE BLUE BRIDGE AND VIRGINIA. MOUNTAINS AND TROPICAL SYSTEMS ARE BAD COMBINATION. >> THANK YOU. WE WILL TALK AGAIN TOMORROW. >>> TONIGHT THE RUBBER IS MEETING THE ROAD OF THE NEWLY MINTED DEMOCRATIC TICKET ON THE ROAD AS WE SPEAK NOW IN DETROIT WERE KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ ARE SET TO TAKE THE STAGE TOGETHER. WITH THINK IN THE NEXT 90 MINUTES OR SO. WE WILL SHOW THAT TO YOUR LIFE WHEN THEY ARE SET UP THE FOCUS TODAY FOR THEM IS ON KEY RUST BELT BATTLEGROUNDS. NOT JUST MICHIGAN, BUT WISCONSIN WHERE THEY JUST WERE AND WHERE J.D. VANCE JUST WAS. AT ONE POINT AT THE SAME AIRPORT WALKING UP TO AIR FORCE TWO AND THINK HE WANTED TO CHECK OUT HIS FUTURE PLANE. WITH THE RACE SET AND THE TICKETS IN PLACE, THE QUESTION OF WHO HARASSES RUNNING MATE OUT OF THE WAY, THERE ARE OTHER BIG QUESTIONS EMERGING LIKE IF AND WHEN WALZ AND VANCE, THE TWO DP PICKS ALREADY GOING AFTER EACH OTHER ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, WENT ME THEY FACE UP ON THE DEBATE STAGE ? THERE'S A QUESTION OF WHETHER WALZ SMALL TOWN, MIDWESTERN BACKGROUND CAN WIN OVER MORE BETTORS TO THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN SINK TC ENERGY BEHIND HIM. THEY PHRASED $36 MILLION, THEY SAY, AND THAT 36 HOURS AFTER WALZ WAS NAMED. AND HOW WILL DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TRIED TO DEFINE WALZ, WHO POLING SHOWS IS RELATIVELY UNKNOWN TO LOTS OF AMERICANS PICK DEMOCRATS SEEM AS RELATABLE AND REPUBLICANS ARE GOING AFTER HIS BACKGROUND AND RECORD. NEITHER SIDE HAS A LOT OF TIME IN THE SUPERCHARGED SPRINT AS WE ARE OFFICIALLY 90 DAYS FROM ELECTION DAY. WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE. WE HAVE THE LATEST FROM THE TRUMP CAMP IN MICHIGAN AND WE HAVE A REALITY CHECK ON SOME OF THE ATTACKS PIERCING BUT WE SEE GABE IN DETROIT. A BIG MULTISTATE BLITZ FOR THEM. THIS IS RIGHT OUT OF THE CAMPAIGN PLAYBOOK. DROP YOUR VP. GO ON A BIG TOUR AND A BUNCH OF STATES THAT WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR THE CAMPAIGN. >> Reporter: THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT AND, LOOK, I CAN BARELY HEAR YOU AND THAT'S THE WAY THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN LIKES IT. IT'S A LOT ENVIRONMENT HERE. A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM. VERY DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS RALLIES WE HAVE SEEN UNDER JOE BIDEN. I WAS HERE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO BUT FEELS LIKE AN ETERNITY THIS IS VERY DIFFEREN . THIS IS A LARGER CROWD THAN WE HAVE SEEN UNDER THE JOE BIDEN AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET. AND IT GOES TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN IS TRYING TO DO. THEY'RE TRYING TO SHORE UP UNION SUPPORT IN MICHIGAN. GOVERNOR WALZ BRINGS THAT UNION SUPPORT WITH HIM AND WE WANT THIS IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE. EARLIER TODAY I WAS IN DEARBORN AND A LOT OF ARAB-AMERICAN VOTERS, SOME SKEPTICAL EVEN THE KAMALA HARRIS IS AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET RIGHT NOW. LET'S LISTEN TO WHAT IF YOU TOLD ME. >> Reporter: DO YOU THINK HARRIS CAN WIN MICHIGAN? >> I THINK IF SHE STILL MAKES SOME REAL POLICY CHANGES, THEN IT'S POSSIBLE FOR HER. >> I THINK IT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THAT PLEASES ME VERY MUCH. >> Reporter: AT THIS POINT, DO YOU PLAN TO VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS? >> NOT UNLESS I HEAR A PERMANENT, UNCONDITIONAL CEASE FIRE. >> Reporter: AND THAT IS WHAT WE HEAR OVER AND OVER AGAIN FROM SOME OF THOSE ARAB- AMERICAN VOTERS. THE CROWD HERE ARE VERY EXCITED. THEY ARE THRILLED TO HAVE GOVERNOR WALZ ON THE TICKET AND YOU WILL HEAR FROM THIS CANDIDATE THAN JUST A BIT. >> WE ARE LOOKING AT PULLING THE SHOWS A DEAD HEAT IN WISCONSIN WHERE THESE CANDIDATES WERE. I KNOW YOU ARE IN MICHIGAN NOW. WE HEARD THE CROWD CHANTING EARLIER TODAY, THANK YOU, JOE. A REFERENCE TO THE PRESIDENT, WHO HAS WITHDRAWN FROM THE TICKET AND IS NOW GIVING HIS FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE HE DECIDED TO DROP OUT OF THE RAC . I KNOW YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET AND I WON'T ASK YOU TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S JUST HIT THE INBOX BUT PRESIDENT BIDEN IN A NEW INTERVIEW WITH CBS WAS ASKED IF HE IS CONFIDENT THERE WILL BE A PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER IN JANUARY 2025 AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS IF DONALD TRUMP WINS, AND I'M QUOTING, THEN NO, I'M NOT CONFIDENT AT ALL. IF TRUMP LOSES, HE SAYS, I'M NOT CONFIDENT AT ALL. HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS. HE MEANS IT. WE WILL TURN ON THAT DOWN BITE WHEN WE CAN BUT THIS IS PART AND PARTIAL OF THE ARGUMENT PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD BEEN TRYING TO MAKE AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP BEFORE HE DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE, WHICH IS AS HE AND OTHER DEMOCRATS THE COMMENT THAT DONALD TRUMP IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. >> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT. THAT IS AN ARGUMENT THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD BEEN MAKING QUITE A BIT BUT IF YOU NOTICE AND HIS -- IN YESTERDAY'S RALLY AND WE WILL SEE WHAT TONIGHT'S RALLY, WE HAVEN'T HEARD THAT PHRASE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY FROM KAMALA HARRIS AND FROM GOVERNOR WALZ. JUST YET. THEY MAY BE HAVING IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY BUT THEY HAVE NOT HIT THAT THREAT TO DEMOCRACY ARGUMENT WE HEARD OVER AND OVER AGAIN FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN. HITTING ON OTHER THINGS LIKE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND SOME OF THE BACKGROUND THAT GOVERNOR WALZ HAS BEING A VETERAN AND IN THE NATIONAL GUARD FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES. THEY ARE STRESSING ON THAT TO TRY TO INTRODUCE HIM TO AMERICA BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, ALMOST THREE FOURTHS OF THE COUNTRY ACCORDING TO A RECENT POLL DO NOT KNOW WHO HE IS OR HAVE NO OPINION >> THANK YOU LIVE FROM DETROIT. WE WILL CHECK BACK IN WITH YOU AS THE RALLY GETS CLOSER. DONALD TRUMP IS NOT UNFAMILIAR WITH THAT ATTACK THAT HE IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. WHAT'S BEEN INTERESTING IS THE WAY THAT THEY TRUMP/VANCE TICKET HAS BEEN TRYING TO COUNTER THE NOW HARRIS/WALZ ATTACKS. AND THAT IS LARGELY WITHOUT DONALD TRUMP, AT LEAST UNTIL THIS MORNING. IT'S J.D. VANCE OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND J.D. VANCE WHO HAS BEEN WHERE YOU ARE OUT THERE BEING MORE VOCAL AND PUBLIC FACE ON CAMERA ON SOME OF THIS, PLAYING THE TRADITIONAL ROLE OF BEING ATTACK DOG, AS TIM WALZ IS DOING. LET ME PLAY THE BACK-AND-FORTH TODAY. >> JD STUDIED AT YALE. HAD HIS CAREER FUNDED BY SILICON VALLEY BILLIONAIRES. AND THEN WROTE A BEST SELLER TRUSTING THE COMMUNITY. COME ON. >> WHAT BOTHERS ME ABOUT TIM WALZ IS THE STOLEN VALOR GARBAGE. DO NOT PRETEND TO BE SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE NOT. I WOULD BE ASHAMED IF I WAS HIM AND A LOT ABOUT MY MILITARY SERVICE LIKE HE DID. >> STRONG ACCUSATION FROM VANCE THAT WE WILL BREAK DOWN IN A SECOND BUT IT'S BEEN A FEISTY DAY ON THE TRAIL TO SAY THE LEAST. >> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS BASICALLY THROWING EVERY AVAILABLE TOOL AT THEIR DISPOSAL AT WALZ TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEST DEFINE HIM. IT STARTED YESTERDAY WITH THE FUNDRAISING IMA THAT SUGGESTED HE WOULD BE OPENING THE GATES OF HELL. APOCALYPTIC LANGUAGE FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. THIS MORNING DONALD TRUMP ON FOX NEWS SAID IT DIDN'T MATTER AND HE WAS A LEFTIST AND HE WELCOMED WALZ TO THE TICKET. THEY HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE MAP. PART OF THE VALUE OF HAVING J.D. VANCE ON THE TRAIL TODAY PLAYING THE PART OF THE CAMPAIGN ATTACK DOG OR A LITTLE BIT OF A TROLL AS YOU SAW HIM APPROACH THE VICE PRESIDENTS CLAIM TO DATE MAKING A JOKE ABOUT HOW IT WOULD BE HIS FUTURE PLANE IS WITH HIS MILITARY BACKGROUND HE IS ABLE TO DELIVER THOSE ATTACKS ON WALZ AND THE FACT THAT WALZ DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE WAR ON TERROR LOCATIONS WHERE AS A VANCE, AS A PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER IN THE MARINES, DID HE CAN DELIVER THOSE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEANLY THAN TRUMP, WHOSE OWN LACK OF MILITARY SERVICE HAS ALWAYS DOGGED HIM AS A POLITICAL CANDIDATE. THIS IS SPACE WHERE THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS COMFORTABLE FIGHTING ON THE PART BECAUSE THE AUTHOR OF THE SWIFT BOAT ATTACKS ON JOHN KERRY IS THERE. THIS IS VERY MUCH WITHIN THEIR WHEELHOUSE AND SOMETHING I THINK THEY BELIEVE THEY CAN GET SOME MEASURE OF TRACTION ON COME EVEN AS THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN TRIES TO PUSH BACK EXPERIMENT WHAT ABOUT THIS QUESTION OF A DEBATE OR DEBATES BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP ALLUDED TO THAT THIS MORNING SUGGESTING MAYBE HE IS ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE SOMETHING, AS FAR AS A DEBATE WITH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS. WITH THAT SCYLLA?, RIGHT? >> Reporter: YEAH. I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU WHO COVERED THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE. BEING ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE SOMETHING IS ONE OF DONALD TRUMP'S FAVORITE MOVIES BUT THERE WILL BE A PLAN IN TWO WEEKS. WE WILL HAVE THIS SOON AND IT WILL BE POWERFUL. DONALD TRUMP IS A MASTER OF THE SUSPENSEFUL, KEEP YOU PAST THE COMMERCIAL BREAK STALL ORTIZ. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SAW HERE TODAY. I'M BETTING HEAVILY THERE WILL BE DEBATES, PERHAPS ONLY ONE WITH THE TOP OF THE TICKET AND WENT WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE TICKET BECAUSE I THINK ALL THE CAMPAIGNS FOR DIFFERENT REASONS THINK THEY NEED THEM PICKING UP THE NUMBERS KEEP GOING THE WAY THEY HAVE BEEN WITH KAMALA HARRIS CONTINUING TO RIDE HIGH IN THE POLLS, TRUMP WILL LOOK AT WHAT HE SAW IN THE LAST DEBATE THE FACT HE WAS ABLE TO KNOCK JOE BIDEN OUT OF IT, HE WILL LOOK AT THE CONFIDENCE HE BRINGS TO ALL THINGS CAMPAIGN RELATED AND THIS IDEA THAT HE IS THE ALONE THE ONE WHO CAN TURN THINGS AROUND AND WILL AGREE TO A DEBATE ON LESS FAVORABLE TERMS THAN WHAT HE IS INSISTING ON NOW PICK SOMETHING AT FOXES WITH AN AUDIENCE. DEBATE WILL HAPPEN AT SOME POINT BEFORE WE FINISH VOTING BUT PERHAPS NOT BEFORE THEY START SOMETIME IN LATE SEPTEMBER. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE WILL CHECK BACK IN WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE EVENING. ONE OF THE THINGS GARRETT LAID OUT, THE CRITICISM FROM SENATOR J.D. VANCE AGAINST GOVERNOR TIM WALZ'S MILITARY RECORD. THE ATTACKS ON WALZ SEEM TO BE TWO-PRONGED. ACCUSATIONS THAT HE AND THE EYES OF SOME GAVE UP ON HIS BATTALION WHEN HE LEFT THE MILITARY AFTER 24 YEARS, AND SECOND HE ALLEGED TO SERVE INCOMPETENCE ON WHEN HE DID NOT PICK SOME REPUBLICANS POINTING TO THIS MOMENT. >> I SPENT 25 YEARS IN THE ARMY AND I GAVE THE MONEY BACK AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING. I'VE BEEN VOTING FOR COMMON SENSE LEGISLATION THAT PROTECTS THE SECOND AMENDED BUT WE CAN DO BACKGROUND CHECKS AND CDC RESEARCH AND MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE RECIPROCAL CARRY AMONG STATE AND WE CAN MAKE SURE THE WEAPONS OF WAR THAT I CARRIED AND WHERE IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THOSE WEAPONS ARE AT. >> SO WHAT IS THE REALITY? WALZ SERVED FROM 1981 TO 2005 IN THE MILITARY. HE THEN RETIRED AND RAN FOR CONGRESS. WALZ HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IN THE PAST THAT HE KNOWS OTHERS HAVE DONE OR IN COMBAT AND OTHERS HAVE DONE MORE THAN HE HAD IN THE MILITARY AS IT RELATES TO COMBAT. LET'S TURN IT OVER TO YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN DIGGING ON THIS ALL DAY. GIVE US THE REALITY CHECK ON THIS MILITARY HISTORY. >> Reporter: THERE TWO REAL ARGUMENTS BEING MADE ABOUT HIM. AS YOU SAW HE SERVED 25 YEARS IN THE NATIONAL GUARD IN NEBRASKA AND THEN IN MINNESOTA. DURING HIS TIME IN THE MINNESOTA NATIONAL GUARD AS A SENIOR NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER, HE DID DEPLOY AS PART OF OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM. IN 2003 THAT WAS WHAT THE MISSION IN AFGHANISTAN WAS CALLED. WHAT IS CRITICAL HERE IS THE DEPLOYED FORWARD TO GET EUROPE, ITALY SPECIFICALLY, TO SUPPORT UNITS DEPLOYING FORWARD TO AFGHANISTAN TO DID NOT ACTUALLY GO TO AFGHANISTAN BUT THE REALITY IS HE DID DEPLOY IN SUPPORT OF THAT COMBAT MISSION, THE COMBAT OPERATION. BUT THE ONE THAT IS GETTING MORE ATTENTION IS THE SECOND DEPLOYMENT BY HIS UNIT. FAST FORWARD TO 2005. JUST BEFORE HIS UNIT WAS MOBILIZED TO DEPLOY TO IRAQ, SEVERAL MONTHS EARLIER, HE DECIDED TO RETIRE. NOW THERE ARE SOME MEMBERS OF HIS SAME BATTALION FROM THE MINNESOTA NATIONAL GUARD NOW RETIRED WHO ARE ARGUING THAT HE DECIDED TO RETIRE RIGHT BEFORE THE DEPLOYMENT BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO GO TO IRAQ. THE REALITY IS THIS -- YOU REALLY NEED TO ASK GOVERNOR WALZ HIMSELF WHY HE RETIRED AT THAT TIME. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO KNOW HIS MOTIVATION AT THAT TIME. HE RETIRED IN MAY 2005 PICK DAY MOBILIZED AND WENT ON FOR THE WORKUPS AND DEPLOYED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. BUT THIS IS REALLY AN ISSUE OF HIS MOTIVATION. THE SECOND ISSUE THAT REALLY HAS STARTED TO DOG HIM, AND FRANKLY HAS GAINED SOME TRACTION, IS PROBABLY WHAT SENATOR VANCE WAS REFERRING TO THE SOUND BUT YOU PLAYED EARLIER WHEN HE CALLED STOLEN VALOR GARBAGE. IS ANOTHER ISSUE GETTING ATTENTION AND THAT IS THE FACT THAT IF YOU LOOK AT GOVERNOR WALZ'S MILITARY RECORD, HIS SERVICE RECORD HIM HE ACTUALLY RETIRED AS A MASTER -- NOT A COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR BUT AS A SERGEANT MAJOR. HE WENT TO SCHOOL FOR PART OF THE TIME BUT RETIRED BEFORE HE ACTUALLY BECAME A COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR AND SERVED IN THAT ROLE LONG ENOUGH TO RETIRE AS THAT.'S OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY ON HIS WEBSITE SAYS HE RETIRED AS COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR BUT THAT'S ANOTHER THING PEOPLE ARE ARGUING SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE HEARD FROM SENATOR VANCE TODAY. >> THANK YOU FOR THE REALITY CHECK. >>> LET'S TAKE A STUNNING DEVELOPMENT FROM NASA TODAY. THOSE TWO ASKED HER NOT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HEAD TO THE SPACE STATION FOR 10 DAYS AND WERE HELD UP FOR MORE THAN 60? TODAY NASA IS THINK THEY MAY NEED TO BE UP THERE FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS. SUNI WILLIAMS AND BUTCH WILMORE FLEW TO THE ISS ON THE BOEING STARLINER SPACECRAFT IN JUNE. A MISSION THAT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A WEEK AND A HALF BUT THE STARLINER HAD MECHANICAL PROBLEMS SO NOW NASA IS WEIGHING ITS OPTIONS. IT MAY NEED TO TAP THE BOEING RIVAL, SPACE X, TO BRING THESE ASTRONAUTS HOME AND IT'S ACKNOWLEDGING AT SOME POINT SUPPLIES MAY RUN SHORT ON WHAT FEELS LIKE THE OUTER SPACE REBOOT OF GILLIGAN'S ISLAND. SENIOR CORRESPONDENT TOM CASTELLA HAS BEEN ALL OVER THIS. IT WAS A 10 DAY VISIT THAT IS TURNED INTO MAYBE THERE'S 63 DAYS AT LEAST AND MAYBE SIX MONTHS >> SIX MONTHS MORE. >> WHAT DO THEY DO? DO THEY HAVE ENOUGH FOOD OR WHATEVER? >> IT'S A POSSIBILITY BUT I HAVE TO SAY LISTENING TO THE CONFERENCE CALL TODAY WITH NAS , AN HOUR AND A HALF TELECONFERENCE, THEY ARE CLEARLY LEANING IN THIS DIRECTION. AND HERE'S -- THEY HAVE A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS AND A BUNCH OF CAVEATS BUT TO YOUR POINT ARE THEY RUNNING OUT OF SUPPLIES ON THE SPACE STATION? WELL, THEY NOW HAVE TWO EXTRA PEOPLE ON THE SPACE STATION USING UP THE CONSUMABLES SO, YEAH, THEY LIKE TO GET THEM BACK BUT HERE'S THE TIMELINE FOR THIS MISSION AND HERE'S HOW IT GOT ALL MESSED UP THEY LAUNCHED BACK ON JUNE 5 PICK SUPPOSED TO BE A 10 DAY MISSION TO THE SPACE STATION. JUNE 9, NASA SAID WE WILL DELAY THE STARLINER RETURNED TO WORK ON MECHANICAL ISSUES. ON JUNE 14 WE DELAY AGAIN. JUNE 21, DEALING AGAIN. JUNE -- JULY 25, DELAY AGAIN AND TODAY THEY SAY THE STARLINER CREW, NOT JUST STARLINER, BUT THE CREW MAY BE DELAYED UNTIL FEBRUARY 2025. THE PROBLEM IS THERE IS A BIG INTERNAL DEBATE WITHIN NASA. MISSION MANAGERS ENGINEERS, OVER WHETHER IT'S SAFE FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON STARLINER YOU HAVE A BIG DIVISION OF OPINION ON THIS. IMAGINE YOU ARE THE EXECUTIVE AT NASA PICK THE NASA CHIEF BILL NELSON WHO NEEDS TO MAKE A DECISION. TO THE COME BACK ON STARLINER OR NOT? IF YOU'VE GOT A BIG CHUNK OF YOUR ENGINEERS ARGUING NO, THAT IS AN AWFULLY HARD NOT TO CRACK IF YOU HAVE TO SAY I'M GOING TO OVERRULE THOSE ENGINEERS. I THINK THEY'RE LEANING TOWARDS THIS. >> IF THEY COME HOME AND THEY NEED SPACE X TO COME HOME, IS THAT A BAD LOOK FOR BOEING? >> AN EMBARRASSMENT. ELON MUSK HAS EATEN BOEING'S LUNCH BUT THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT. BOEING -- THIS IS THEIR FIRST CRUDE, PEOPLE ON BOARD, MISSION TO THE SPACE STATION AND I THINK WE CAN NOW SAY THEY ARE STUCK. NASA DOES NOT LIKE TO SAY THEY ARE STUCK BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE AN EMERGENCY ESCAPE VEHICLE JUST IN CASE, BUT THEY ARE STUCK. IN THE MEANTIME, GUESS HOW MANY MISSIONS SPACEX HAS LED TO THE SPACE STATION? NINE. NINE SO FAR, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE CARGO MISSIONS SPACEX HAS A TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS. BOEING IS STUMBLING. THEY ARE YEARS BEHIND SCHEDULE BUT SOMETHING LIKE $1.5 BILLION OVER BUDGET. >> SO WHEN WILL WE KNOW FOR SURE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? IS THIS THE FORESHORE MOMENT? >> I THINK WE ARE CLOSE TO IT. THEY WERE TELEGRAPHING IT TODAY BUT OFFICIALLY I THINK THEY WILL MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT, PROBABLY, MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK EXPERIMENT I'M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU AND I WERE AT THIS DESK AND YOU WERE TALKING THROUGHOUT BOEING AND NASA WERE SYNCED OR NOT STOCKED. THEY CAN COME HOME ANYTIME IF WE NEED THEM TO BUT THEN IT FELT LIKE THE WORLD STARTED TO TURN A BIT. >> I STARTED SAYING TO PEOPLE AT NASA, GIVE ME A BREAK. AT A CERTAIN POINT IF YOU'RE STUCK IN THE MALL FOR MONTHS ON END, OKAY, STEAL A CAR TO COME HOME BUT YOU ARE STUCK BECAUSE YOUR CAR IS BROKEN. AREN'T YOU KIND OF STUCK? THEY TAKE ISSUE WITH THAT BUT AT A CERTAIN POINT, COME ON, GUYS. THEY AREIND OF STUCK. >> THEY ARE SAFE. >> YOU ARE SAFE. BUT EIGHT MONTHS WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING FOR 10 DAYS? I THINK THEY ARE STUCK. >> HOPING A PLAINTIVE CLOTHING TO LAST THEM THROUGH. I GUESS THE ORNSBY SUITS. ANYWAY. THANK YOU. IT'S CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT. >>> LET'S TAKE YOU NOW TO OTHER NEWS MAKING HEADLINES INCLUDING IN MILWAUKEE WHERE THE WIDOW OF A MAN WHO DIED AFTER BEING PINNED DOWN BY HOTEL WORKERS THE CHARGES AGAINST THE MEN INVOLVED SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN AS LONG AS THEY DID BUT THEY ARE STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. >> DO I FEEL LIKE IT'S ENOUGH? NO. BUT IT'S A START. I WANT THEM TO BE CHARGED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW. THEY HAD NO REMORSE FOR HIM. THEY, THEY -- THEY PUNISHED HIM. >> THIS IS ONE OF THE FOUR MEN FACING FELONY MURDER CHARGES IN CONNECTION TO D'VONTAYE MITCHELL'S DEATH. HE TURNED HIMSELF INTO DAVID MITCHELL DIED IN LATE JUNE AFTER EMPLOYEES GRABBED HIM AND HELD HIM FACEDOWN ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE A HOTEL. WE WILL SHOW YOU VIDEO ONE TIME OF THOSE MOMENTS BUT THE WARNING IS THE FOOTAGE IS VERY HARD TO WATCH. POLICE SAY SOMEWHAT HAD GONE INTO THE HOTEL TO CAUSE A DISTURBANCE. YOU CAN SEE IT LOOKS LIKE WORKERS DRAGGING HIM OUTSIDE AND HOLDING HIM TO THE GROUND. ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINT HE WAS HELPED DOWN FOR EIGHT OR NINE MINUTES. ANTONIA HILTON IS JOINING US NOW PICK THE CITY MAYOR IS ALSO JOINING THESE CALLS FOR SOME LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY TONIGHT. WHAT ELSE ARE WE HEARING FROM THE MITCHELL FAMILY AND WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE HAPPEN? >> Reporter: OUR TEAM GOT TIME TO SPEAK WITH BOTH HIS BROTHER AND HIS WIDOW, WHO EVERYONE JUST SAW. HIS BROTHER DESCRIBED THIS MOMENT AS BITTERSWEET. THEY ARE GRATEFUL FOR THESE CHARGES COMING DOWN BUT THEY ALSO, OF COURSE, WISH NONE OF THIS WAS HAPPENING TO THEM AT ALL. THE WIDOW DESCRIBED MITCHELL AS A TEDDY BEAR, BASICALLY, SOMEONE WHO WAS LOVED AND NONVIOLENT AND YOU COULD SEE JUST ON HER FACE HOW CHALLENGING IT'S BEEN FOR THEM TO PROCESS WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE. YOU KNOW, THIS IS, FOR ALL OF THEM, AND REALLY EVERYONE IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY THERE, IT IS DOUBLY TRAUMATIZING BECAUSE IT HAS SUCH A CONNECTION TO WHAT PEOPLE SAW HAPPEN TO GEORGE FLOYD YEARS AGO, FOUR YEARS AGO. PEOPLE ARE MAKING THOSE COMPARISONS. AND OF COURSE WHAT IS DIFFERENT HERE IS THIS IS HOTEL STAFF SO WE'RE TALKING TWO SECURITY GUARDS, A BELLHOP, AND A FRONT DESK ATTENDANT AND NOT POLICE OFFICERS. BUT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRAINING. TAKE A LISTEN TO THE WIDOW DESCRIBING SOME OF THIS FOR HERSELF. >> EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH WHAT THEY GO THROUGH. HE DESERVED MORE THAN WHAT THEY GAVE HIM AND HE STILL DESERVES MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE GETTING HIM NOW. HE WAS GREAT. HE WASN'T VIOLENT HE WASN'T COMBATED. HE WASN'T ARGUMENTATIVE. HE WASN'T ANY OF THESE THINGS. HE WAS A BIG BEAR, A BIG TEDDY BEAR. >> Reporter: HIS MOTHER HAS ALSO INDICATED THAT FAMILY BELIEVES HE WAS LIKELY DEALING WITH SOME KIND OF MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES. WE KNOW FROM AUTHORITIES IN THE HOTEL THAT THEY DESCRIBED A DISTURBANCE IN THE LOBBY BEFORE EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN THE VIDEO UNFOLDS. AND SO I THINK WE WILL FIND OUT MORE IN THE COMING DAYS HOW HE WAS ACTUALLY DOING, HIS FRAME OF MIND. MORE OF THE FAMILY STORY BUT RIGHT NOW ATTENTION IS ON THIS INVESTIGATION AND THESE CHARGES. >> AND WE HEAR FROM AN EMPLOYEE ABOUT HOW HE SAYS THIS HAPPEN. CAN YOU TALK TO THAT? >> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT. OUR AFFILIATES AND SPOKE WITH HERBERT WILLIAMSON, THE BELLHOP. IT'S RARE TO GET PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH FELONY MURDER TO SPEAK OFTEN, BUT HE SPOKE TO OUR AFFILIATE AND HE SAID HE WAS NUMB. HE BELIEVES HE IS INNOCENT AND HE WAS ESSENTIALLY JUST FALLING WHAT HIS SUPERVISORS HAD TOLD HIM TO DO? SO I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE STORY THAT'S COMING HERE. THE TRAINING PROVIDED TO THESE EMPLOYEES. WHAT KINDS OF DIRECTIONS THEY MAY HAVE RECEIVED FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ACTUALLY ON CAMERA? THERE IS MORE TO COME HERE. >> ANTONIA HYLTON. THANK YOU. >>> NO WARNINGS AROUND e CIGARETTES. WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY SOME TOBACCO COMPANIES ARE USING BASICALLY UNTESTED CHEMICALS >>> AND A DRAMATIC RESCUE IN TO COLLEGE. THIS IS A BIG DECISION FOR FAMILIES. >> YOU THINK THIS COULD IMPACT HOW PEOPLE VOTE? >> 100%. >>> THE FAMILY OF A FRENCH EXPLORER WHO DIED IN THAT TIGHT IN SUBMERSIBLE IMPLOSION LAST YEAR IT TODAY FILING A $50 MILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE SUB OPERATOR. HE WAS ONE OF FIVE PEOPLE KILLED WHEN THE SUBMERSIBLE IMPLODED TWO HOURS INTO A TRIP TO THE TITANIC SITE. THE TITAN WAS OWNED BY A COMPANY CALLED OCEAN SKATE THAT TOOK TOURISTS TO VISIT THE TITANIC IN WHICH SUSPENDED OPERATIONS LAST JULY LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AFTER THE IMPLOSION HAPPEN. AND OCEANGATE SPOKESPERSON IS DECLINING COMMENT ON THE SUIT. THIS EXPLORER WAS NO TITANIC ROOKIE. HE WAS PART OF 37 TIES TO THE TITANIC THAT THE MOST OF ANY IN THE WORLD AND CONSIDERED AN EXPERT. WALK US THROUGH THE LEGALITIES? DID OCEANGATE REQUIRE CUSTOMERS TO SIGN SOMETHING THAT MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY OF DEATH >> Reporter: REPORTEDLY YES BUT WAIVERS ARE AN OBSTACLE AND NOT ALWAYS AN INSURMOUNTABLE OBSTACLE BUT THERE ARE WAYS OF GETTING AROUND THEM. FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOME OF THE HAZARDS THAT ACTUALLY CAUSED THE HARM WEREN'T REALLY DISCLOSED. FOR EXAMPLE, I DOUBT THE WAIVER SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT, HEY, IF THERE IS STRUCTURAL PROBLEM WITH THIS SUBMERSIBLE, THAT'S NOT ON US. THAT'S YOUR THING TO WORRY ABOUT. THAT'S THE KIND OF THING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO, IF TRUE, SHOW THE WAIVER IS NO GOOD. IF THE POTENTIAL DAMAGES ARE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH, PLAINTIFFS ATTORNEYS, INCLUDING ME, WILL SOMETIMES PROCEED COME EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE A WAIVER THAT SEEMS TO APPARENTLY ABSOLVE THE COMPANY, THE DEFENDANT OF ALL RESPONSIBILITY. >> WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO FILE THE SUIT? IS IT TYPICAL IN AN INSTANCE LIKE THIS MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER THE IMPLOSION HAPPEN? >> IT IS TYPICAL. WASHINGTON STATE IS A THREE- YEAR PERSONAL INJURY STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS AND THE JONES ACT, THE MARITIME ACT THIS IS FILED UNDER, ALSO SAID THREE-YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS SO THEY WERE NOT CLOSE TO RUNNING OUT OF TIME AND YOU OFTEN WAIT, I OFTEN WAIT UP TO A YEAR TO DO YOUR INVESTIGATION AND FIGURE OUT WHERE YOUR DAMAGES ARE. GET YOUR DUCKS LINED UP AND FILE THE BEST COMPLAINT YOU CAN COME ESPECIALLY IN A CASE LIKE THIS WHERE YOU HAVE A WAIVER TO DEAL WITH. YOU WANT TO DO SOME INVESTIGATION TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH FACTS TO GET OVER OR BEYOND THE WAIVER COME IF THERE IS ONE THAT APPLIES TO THIS CLAIM? IF YOU HAD TO HANDICAP THE CHANCES OF THE LAWSUIT MOVING FORWARD, HOW WOULD YOU? >> UP WITH THEM AT HI. IF THEY FILED IT THEN THEY FEEL CONFIDENT THEY CAN GET PAST THE WAIVER. THE DEFENSE WILL PROBABLY MOVE TO THROW THE CASE OUT BASED ON THE WAIVER AND PASTE ON MAYBE SOME OTHER THINGS, BUT ULTIMATELY IF IT SURVIVES THAT MOTION, THEN IN ALL LIKELIHOOD MOST OF THE CIVIL CASES DON'T GO TO TRIAL. USUALLY END UP SETTLING. THAT'S JUST PLAYING THE ODDS. THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF CASES LIKE THIS USUALLY END UP. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH EXTRACT LET'S GET TO THE FIVE THINGS ARE TEAM THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW. NUMBER ONE, NEW TIME-LAPSE VIDEO OF THE PARK FIRE IN CALIFORNIA. THAT SUPER THICK SMOKE JUST BLANKETING THE SKY. THE FIRE HAS BURNED MORE THAN 420,000 ACRES SO FAR DESTROYING MORE THAN 600 BUILDINGS AND IS 34% CONTAINED AS OF TODAY NUMBER TWO, MULTIPLE DELTA PASSENGERS FILING A CLASS- ACTION LAWSUIT TODAY AGAINST DELTA AFTER THAT FLIGHT CHAOS FROM THAT MELTDOWN LAST MONTH. THE GLOBAL TECH OUTAGE. THOUSANDS OF DELTA FLIGHTS WERE CANCELED OR DELAYED PASSENGER SAID THE AIRLINE REFUSED OR ADDED CONDITIONS TO REFUND REQUESTS DELTA DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RETURN A REQUEST FOR COMMENT. THE NUMBER THREE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS STORY OF QUESTIONS OVER TIM WALZ'S MILITARY SERVICE PREPARES CAMPAIGN THING IN A STATEMENT, AND I'M QUOTING, IN A 24 YEARS OF SERVICE THE GOVERNOR CARRIED, FIRED AND TRAIN OTHERS TO HIS WEAPONS OF WAR AND TIMES. GOVERNOR WALZ WOULD NEVER INSULT OR UNDERMINE ANY AMERICAN SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY AND HE THANKS SENATOR VANCE ARE PUTTING A SLAVE ON THE LENGTH OF THE COUNTRY. IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY AND IN ANOTHER STATEMENT THE HAIRS CAN PUT A WALZ HAS BEEN A TIRELESS ADVOCATE FOR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM. >>> AN AMAZING RESCUE OUT OF FLORIDA. COUNTY DEPUTIES PRINTING INTO THIS POND TO SAVE A FIVE-YEAR- OLD BOY WHO GOT OUT OF HIS HOUSE THROUGH A SECOND-STORY DOOR WHICH SET OFF AN ALARM. THE FAMILY CALLED 911 THE POLICE WENT OUT TO CHECK AND FOUND THE BOY HANGING ONTO A LOG CLINGING TO IT. HE IS NOW BACK HOME AND SAFE AND SOUND. AND NUMBER FIVE, DELTA INCOME ON LAUNCHING A NEW PERFUME BUT IT COMES WITH A TWIST. THE TWIST IS THE PERFUME IS NOT FOR YOU BUT FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND. FIFI IS THE PERFUME NAME AND IT'S A PERFUME FOR DOGS. IT COST JUST OVER $100. SOME THAT ARE NOT HAPPY THINK IT MAY INTERFERE WITH A DOG SENSE OF SELF OR COVER UP CERTAIN ODORS THAT COULD BE A SYMPTOM OF THE DISEASE. WOULD YOU DROP THAT CASH ON A DOG PERFUME? I DON'T KNOW? >>> NEW RESEARCH FINDING TOBACCO COMPANIES USING CHEMICALS THAT MIMIC NICOTINE TO GET AROUND HEALTH REGULATIONS. ACCORDING TO DUKE SCIENTISTS, THE COMPANIES ARE REPLACING NICOTINE WITH MOSTLY UNTESTED CHEMICALS THAT DO THE SAME THING TO DODGE NICOTINE RULES. THE PRODUCTS HAVE THINGS LIKE FLAVORS AND SWEETENERS, THINGS THAT HEALTH EXPERTS THAT COULD ATTRACT YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE NON VAPOROUS TO THE SCENE. DR. NATALIE AZAR IS JOINING US. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THESE CHEMICALS AND HOW MUCH ARE IN THESE PRODUCTS AND SHOULD WE BE SUPER CONCERNED ABOUT IT? >> YEAH. THESE RESEARCHERS LOOKED AT TWO DIFFERENT MAJOR BRANDS OF THESE e-CIGARETTES AND THEY WERE CONCENTRATING ON TWO DIFFERENT CHEMICALS IN THERE. ONE IS CALLED 6 METAL NICOTINE AND THE OTHER IS CALLED NICOTINAMIDE. WHAT THESE ARE OUR NICOTINE ANALOGS MEANING THAT VERY CHEMICALLY SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT ENOUGH IN SO FAR AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN STUDIED AND ARE NOT FDA REGULATED. WHAT THEY FOUND SPECIFICALLY FOR THE 6 METHYL NICOTINE IS THAT A CONSIDERABLY MORE TOXIC AND POTENT THAN REGULAR NICOTINE. THEY FOUND AND ONE PARTICULAR PRODUCT THERE WAS LESS ON THE PRODUCT LABEL BUT WHAT THEY FOUND, WHICH IS CONCERNING THAT THEY MAY CONTAIN SWEETENERS OR THEY COULD CONTAIN COOLANTS AND EXPERTS DON'T KNOW A MIX OF THAT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THESE e- CIGARETTES ARE HEATED UP AND HOW MUCH POTENTIAL DAMAGE THAT COULD COST TO THE USER. >> IF ARE TRYING TO STOP SMOKING BY VAPING, ESSENTIALLY, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT UNCOMMON, WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR? >> AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONE THING. THE RESEARCH DOES SHOW THE USE OF e-CIGARETTES REGULAR USE OF e-CIGARETTES DOES RESULT IN A SMOKING CESSATION OF WHAT WE CALL REGULAR CIGARETTES OR COMBUSTIBLE CIGARETTES. BUT I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS. THE FDA VERY FIRMLY STATES THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SAFE TOBACCO PRODUCT AND e CIGARETTES ARE CONSIDERED TOBACCO PRODUCTS BECAUSE NICOTINE DERIVES FROM TOBACCO. LOOK. IF YOU ARE A SMOKER AND YOU WANT TO QUIT SMOKING AND ARE USING AND e-CIGARETTES, BY ALL MEANS, BUT YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT PROPER USE OF THE BATTERY AND PROPER USE OF THE LIQUID. AND TO BE AWARE THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT HARMS THAT CAN COME FROM e-CIGARETTES, INCLUDING SIGNIFICANT LUNG INJURY YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE THIS FOR SMOKING CESSATION. >> DR. NATALIE AZAR. GOOD WORDS OF WISDOM. THANK YOU. >>> THE UK ON HIGH ALERT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF MORE VIOLENCE AFTER DAYS OF RIOTS. WE TELL YOU WHERE THOUSANDS OF COUNTER PROTESTERS ARE NOW GATHERING AND WHAT ELON MUSK HAS TO DO WITH IT. >>> AND THE SCARY SEE THIS. NEWS FOR THE GENERATION OF NOW IS NBC NEWS NOW. >>> NBC NEWS 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 IN THE REGIONS AND THE SEGMENT WE CALL THE LOCAL. IN THE WESTERN BEER HOMICIDE DETECTIVES ARE INVESTIGATING ALLEGED ROAD RAGE FIGHT THAT LEFT ONE MAN DEAD IN WEST HOLLYWOOD. APPARENTLY THE FIGHT STARTED IN THE PARKING LOT AFTER TWO PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED IN A MINOR CRASH. POLICE DO NOT THINK THERE WERE WEAPONS INVOLVED BUT BOTH MEN WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE ONE LATER DIED. OFFICIALS WANT ANYONE WITH MORE INFO TO CALL POLICE. >>> AND A SOUTHERN. NEW VIDEO OF A HOUSE THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE IN OKLAHOMA. ONE OF THE DOGS IN THE HOUSE STARTED CHEWING ON A LITHIUM ION BATTERY, SIMILAR TO THE ONE YOU USED TO CHARGE HER PHONE. IT SPARKED AND EXPLODED INTO FLAMES. THANKFULLY, THE PETS METED OUT SAFELY THROUGH A DOGGIE DOOR BUT FIRE OFFICIALS SAY THIS IS A WARNING TO STORE YOUR BATTERIES IN US BUT WE ARE PETS CAN'T GET TO THEM. >>> IN THE NORTHEAST, BROKEN WIND TURBINES LEAVING DEBRIS OVER BEACH IN CAPE COD. LITTLE PIECES LIKE THIS HAVE BEEN WASHING UP ON SEVERAL BEACHES AND MASSACHUSETTS. THE WIND TURBINE COMPANY IS SENDING CLEANUP CREWS TO THE AREA TO GET IT TAKEN CARE OF. >>> THE UK IS ON HIGH ALERT WITH THOUSANDS OF POLICE FANNED OUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY AFTER DAYS OF CHAOS KILLED BY ANTI MUSLIM AND ANTI-IMMIGRANT SENTIMENT AFTER THAT KNIFE ATTACK THAT LEFT THREE GIRLS DID . WHAT YOU SEE HERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ANTIRACIST COUNTER PROTESTERS GATHERING AT SOME OF THOSE SAME PLACES WHERE POLICE HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED FOR PROTESTING NOW AGAINST THE VIOLENCE IN THE COUNTRY THAT'S LASTED FOR SOMETHING LIKE A WEEK BUT THE RIOTS ARE FUELED BY DISINFORMATION THAT QUICKLY SPREAD ONLINE IN THE WAKE OF THE ATTACK. THE SUSPECT WAS WRONGLY IDENTIFIED AS AN ASYLUM SEEKER WHO JUST ARRIVED IN THE UK. JOSH IS JOINING US NOW. OFFICIALS ARE PLANNING FOR THE WORST SO WHAT'S IT LIKE TONIGHT WHERE YOU ARE? I KNOW IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT IN LONDON. >> Reporter: YES. THAT'S RIGHT. I JUST LEFT A PROTEST THAT WAS DISPERSED BY THE POLICE. THIS WAS ONE OF ABOUT 100 PROTESTS EXPECTED TONIGHT. THE INTERESTING THING IS AT THIS PURCHASE AND AT SEVERAL OTHERS THAT NBC VISITED TONIGHT THERE WERE FAR MORE COUNTER PROTESTERS THAN THERE WERE PROTESTERS. IN OTHER WORDS, THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP WERE THERE TO SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH MIGRANTS AND TO SHOW THAT THESE VIOLENT PROTESTERS AND RIOTERS WHO ARE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST MUSLIMS AND IMMIGRANTS DO NOT REPRESENT THEM PICK AWAY TO HEAR FROM BETHANY, A PROTESTER WHO SHUT UP IN NORTHERN LONDON TONIGHT AND TWO CAME OUT TO SHOW THAT SHE DOES SUPPORT MIGRANTS. >> THERE'S NO LOGIC BEHIND IT. IS A CRITICAL THINKING BY DIFFERENT THESE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE ANGRY. BUT ONE AND ONE TOGETHER AND THEY GOT FIVE. THEY'RE ANGRY AT THE COUNTRY AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY SO GET EDUCATED. >> Reporter: AND AS POLICE ARE TRYING TO GET THE SITUATION UNDER CONTROL, THEY KEEP ADDING NEW TOOLS TO THEIR TOOLBOX. NOW THEY HAD SOME 4000 POLICE OFFICERS POISED TO DEAL WITH THESE RIOTS 50 ARE INCREASING THAT TO 6000 BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND THEY HAVE ENACTED WHAT ARE CALLED SECTION 60 POWERS IN THE UK WHICH ESSENTIALLY ALLOWS THE POLICE IN CERTAIN AREAS TO STOP AND SEARCH WHOEVER THEY WANT WITH NO PRETEXT IF THEY THINK IT COULD HELP REDUCE THE VIOLENCE. >> AND I SHOULD'VE SAID IT'S PUSHING BENNETT WHERE YOU ARE BUT THE DISINFORMATION PIECE OF THIS IS BEEN A FACTOR IN SOCIAL MEDIA. THERE IS AN ELON MUSK CONNECTION TO THIS AS WELL THAT SEEMS TO BE BUBBLING UP. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? REMAKE ELON MUSK HAS BEEN FANNING THE FLAMES HERE IN THE UK. HE HAS SAID CIVIL WAR IS INEVITABLE AND THE UK IS BECOMING LIKE THE SOVIET UNION AND YOU SHARPLY CRITICIZING KEIR STARMER, THE NEW PRIME MINISTER, FOR TRYING TO PROTECT MUSLIM COMMUNITIES SAYING ESSENTIALLY WHAT ABOUT ALL COMMUNITIES? HE IS ACCUSING KEIR STARMER OF HAVING A DOUBLE STANDARD TO FAR RIGHT GROUPS AS HE HAS BEEN POSTING STUFF IN SUPPORT OF MANY OF THOSE FAR RIGHT GROUPS BUT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS VERY UPSET ABOUT THAT BUT PART OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT IT WAS DISINFORMATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA AFTER THAT STABBING ATTACK LAST WEEK THAT HAS FUELED THIS. THE UK GOVERNMENT SAID THEY WILL GO AFTER THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES FOR ALLOWING THE KIND OF DISINFORMATION ON THE PLATFORMS? >> JOSH. THANK YOU. GLAD YOU ARE BRINGING US UP TO SPEED. >>> COMING UP. WE TAKE YOU TO PARIS WITH THE BIG DAY FOR TEAM USA AT THE OLYMPICS. GUESS IT WAS BACK TONIGHT? IT'S KEIR SIMMON YOU GOT TO SEE >> NEWS FOR THE GENERATION OF NOW IS NBC NEWS NOW. >>> THE UNITED STATES BRINGING HOME MORE METALS AT THE OLYMPICS TODAY. QUINCY HALL BRINGING HOME GOLD FOR TEAM USA IN THE MEN'S 400 METER. THIS WAS A WILD RACE AND IN THE WOMEN'S POLE VAULT, KATIE MEANT TAKING HOME THE SILVER WITH A VAULT OF JUST UNDER 16 FEET. 4.85 METERS. AND THEN THIS ARTISTIC SWIMMING ROUTINE THAT HELPED TEAM USA WHEN A SILVER METAL. THE FIRST MEDAL THE ARTISTIC SWIMMERS HAVE ONE IN 20 YEARS. BIG DAY FOR TEAM USA A BIG DAY FOR OUR DEAR FRIEND KEIR SIMMONS LIKE TONIGHT IN PARIS TO BREAK IT DOWN. >> I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE ARTISTIC SWIMMING. >> DRAMA. IS BEAUTIFUL AND A BIG DEAL. FIRST TIME IN A COUPLE DECADES THE U.S. HAS WON. >> AND TELL YOU SOMETHING AS WELL. DO YOU WANT ARTISTIC SWIMMING MUCH? I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE I MISSED SOMETHING. I FEEL LIKE THE LAST TIME I WAS 10 YEARS OLD BUT I WATCHED IT. I DON'T KNOW. IT'S GOING FULL GANGSTER. THE FACES, THE CONTORTIONS, AND THE MUSIC, IT'S LIKE JAPAN DID EMINEM FOR THE WHOLE ROUTINE. THAT A MEDLEY OF EMINEM AND DRAY AND SNOOP. I TELL YOU, SOMETIMES THOUGH IT MAKES ME ANXIOUS TO COME UP OUT OF THE WATER AND SOME OF THEM, THE WOMEN, ARE SO RED-FACED. I'M THINKING THIS IS A DANGEROUS SPORT BUT MAYBE IT IS A DANGEROUS SPORT. I DON'T KNOW. >> IT'S SO INTENT AND ATHLETIC. >> Reporter: SO INTENSE AND AS YOU SAID, TEAM USA, JUST IN THE PAST FEW MINUTES ALMOST GOT GOLD. THEY WERE SECOND TO LAST TO PERFORM. THEY WERE IN FIRST PLACE AND THEN HOW ABOUT THIS, CHINA COMES IN, INCREDIBLE ROUTINE AND THEY PUSH TEAM USA INTO SECOND PLACE. THEY ALSO HAVE THE THINGS ON THEIR NOSES. THEY JUST HAD THESE CONTRAPTIONS ON THEIR NOSES, I THINK YOU HAVE TO DO THAT WHEN YOU'RE UNDER THE WATER SO MUCH AND DIVING IN AND OUT AND THINGS. IT'S AN AMAZING SPORT. >> IT'S INCREDIBLE. ALSO INCREDIBLE, NOAH LYLES -- >> Reporter: THAT WAS MY EXPERT ANALYSIS RIGHT THERE. >> I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST YAPPING. JUST RIFFING AND CHITCHAT A BIT. TALK ABOUT NOAH LYLES. THAT WAS DRAMA TOO. HE SO AMAZING AND WILL NOW BE A CRUSHER. HE'S GOING TO THE 200 METER FINAL TOMORROW. AND THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT THING TOO. >> Reporter: YEP YOU CAN IF HE MANAGES TO DO THAT, AS WE MENTIONED LAST TIME WE SPOKE -- THIRD TIME SINCE 1984 AND CARL LEWIS FOR TEAM USA. HE ALSO HAD USAIN BOLT PULLING THAT UP A NUMBER OF TIMES IN PREVIOUS OLYMPICS. NOW NOAH LYLES, HE'S ON THE EDGE OF GLORY, ISN'T HE? AND HE'S SUCH A PERFORMER. I SAID IT BEFORE ON THE TRACK AND OFF THE TRACK. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT RACE. IT'S A BIG ONE AND IT'S A BIG ONE NOT LEAST BECAUSE HE IS THAT KIND OF SPRINTER THAT REALLY MAKES YOU WANT TO WATCH AND YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT HE DOES AND HOW HE REACTS WHEN HE MANAGES IT. WE WILL SEE. IT'S SO TIGHT. THERE ARE FRACTIONS OF A SECOND IN THIS THING. >> WE HAVE TO GET TO OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DATE WHICH IS THE FAVORITE MOMENT. WHAT WAS IT TODAY FOR YOU? WHAT WAS YOUR NUMBER ONE MOMENT? >> Reporter: WELL, I PREPARED AND IT WAS GOING TO BE ARTISTIC SWIMMING AND THEN WE KICKED OFF WITH ARTISTIC SWIMMING SO NO I'M LOST AGAIN. >> YOU WERE NOT QUITE PREPARED PARTICULARLY WELL PREPARED FOR THE ARTISTIC SWIMMING PICK REMAKE I WAS. IT DID NOT HAPPEN TODAY BUT I LOVE THAT TEAM USA BEAT GERMANY IN SOCCER. WHY? BECAUSE I'M ENGLISH AND IN THE AND ANYONE WHO BEATS GERMANY IN SOCCER IS ALL RIGHT WITH ME. IT'S PRETTY GOOD. AND I'M WILLING TO SWALLOW THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS WIN AT EVERYTHING AND DO YOU HAVE TO WIN AT SOCCER AS WELL? AND, ALSO, THE FACT THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING WELL IN SOCCER AGAIN, WHICH OF COURSE IS NOT HAPPEN SINCE 2012 ROBS ME OF THE ABILITY TO SAY CONDESCENDINGLY TO MY U.S. FRIENDS, YOU KNOW THAT GAME, SOCCER, WHERE YOU KICK A BALL AROUND AND THERE'S A NET? AND, BY THE WAY THERE IS NO COMMERCIAL, THERE'S ONLY ONE COMMERCIAL BREAK? HOW ABOUT THAT? I DON'T GET TO DO ALL THAT WHEN YOU GUYS ARE WINNING. IT'S STILL MY FAVORITE THING. >> I THINK THE OLYMPICS IS THE ONLY TIME WHEN YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH CALLING YOUR COLLEAGUES, YOU GUYS HEAR ACROSS THE POND, IN THE U.S. THANK YOU, I GUESS. LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT MATCH ON SATURDAY. THE GOLD-MEDAL MATCH. >> RIGHT. >> TOO BAD WE DON'T HAVE A SHOW ON SATURDAY. MAYBE WE CAN FACETIME TOGETHER AND WATCH IT AND RISK. >> Reporter: LET'S DO IT. UNPLUGGED. >> THANK YOU LIKE TONIGHT FROM PARIS EXTRACT STILL TO COME. >>> NEW RESEARCH NOW PUTS OUT A NOVEL THEORY ON HOW THE GREAT PERMITS IN EGYPT ARE ACTUALLY BUILT. AND MR. THAT HAS BAFFLED PEOPLE FOR LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF YEARS. ARCHAEOLOGISTS SAY THEY MAY HAVE HARNESSED THE POWER OF WATER TO FLOW TO THESE HUGE STONE BLOCKS HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR. THAT IS WHAT THIS NEW RESEARCH SAYS, BUT NOT EVERYBODY IS CONVINCED.>> THE AGE-OLD QUESTION. HOW DID THE EGYPTIANS BUILD THE PYRAMIDS? PERPLEXING THEM ALL THE WAY BACK TO ANCIENT GREECE. AND BECOMING THE BUTT OF JOKES TODAY. >> DID THIS START AT THE TOP AND WORK DOWN OR THE BOTTOM AND WORK UP? >> FAIRLY SURE THEY STARTED AT THE BOTTOM. WE STILL DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW THEY DID IT. THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF THEORIES. NOW WE ARE GETTING A NEW POTENTIAL ANSWER. ONE A LITTLE MORE GROUNDED IN REALITY. WATER. RESEARCHERS JUST PUBLISHED A STUDY SUGGESTING THAT HYDRAULIC FORCE COULD HAVE HELPED BUILD A MID MORE THAN 4600 YEARS AGO. THE OLDEST OF THE SEVEN MONUMENTAL PYRAMIDS IN EGYPT AND WAS AT THE TIME THE LARGEST STRUCTURE COMING IN AT 204 FEET. STACKED HEAD TO TOE MORE THAN 30 TIMES. SOME OF THOSE WEIGHING MORE THAN 600 POUNDS. THE RESEARCHERS NOW SAY THE INTERNAL ARCHITECTURE SUPPORTS A NEW THEORY OF HYDRAULIC LIFT. AND NEARBY STRUCTURE MAY HAVE FUNCTIONED AS A DAM AND WATER COULD HAVE FLOWED INSIDE THAT WOULD HAVE RAISED SOME SORT OF FLOAT CARRYING THE STONES. THEY SAY IT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT LEAP IN OUR COMPREHENSION OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ENGINEERING. THE QUESTION IS WHERE WOULD IT COME FROM? SOME EXPERTS ARE SKEPTICAL >> HE IS A PROFESSOR OF EGYPTOLOGY AT YALE. >> WE DO NOT HAVE ANY EVIDENCE MAKING USE OF WATER PRESSURE OR UNDERSTANDING OR EXPLOITING THAT . IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THAT USING THE STRUCTURES THEY ARE DESCRIBING BECAUSE THE ENCLOSURE WOULD LEACH WATER INTO THE DESERT. >> THE RESEARCHERS SAY THERE IS MORE TO INVESTIG IF ALIEN WATCHERS CAN KEEP THEIR EYES ON THE SKIES. >> THE MORE YOU KNOW. WE HAVE A LOT MORE COVERAGE PICKING UP RIGHT NOW. >>> OFFICIALS ASSAYING TAYLOR SWIFT SHOWS WILL BE CANCELED BECAUSE OF A THWARTED TERROR PLOT OUT OF CONCERN FOR PEOPLE SAFETY. THAT IS WHY THE SHOWS ARE OFF. LOOK AT THIS NEW VIDEO OF A TORNADO TOUCHING DOWN IN NORTH CAROLINA JUST AS WE HAVE BEEN ON THE AIR. THIS IS SOME OF THE DAMAGE. MORE ON THIS AND WHAT IS AHEAD. >>> THE BATTLEGROUND BLITZ FOR THE NEW DEMOCRATIC TICKET. WHY HE WALKED UP TO VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS'S PLAN TODAY. >>> PRESIDENT BIDEN'S CONCERNS THAT THERE MAY NOT BE A PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER AFTER THIS. THOSE ASTRONAUTS WHO SAY THEY ARE NOT REALLY STUCK IN SPACE. IT TURNS OUT THEY MAY BE NOT STUCK FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS. WHAT IS NEXT NOW AND HOW A 10 DAY TRIP TURNED INTO HALF A YEAR AND WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD REBOOT OF GILLIGAN'S ISLAND LATER IN THE SHOW. >>> THE MOSTLY UNTESTED CHEMICALS THEY COULD BE PUTTING IN THEIR PRODUCT ACCORDING TO EXPERTS. THAT IS COMING UP. >>> OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE CANCELING MULTIPLE TAYLOR SWIFT SHOWS AS A PART OF HURT TOUR OUT OF SAFETY CONCERNS AFTER POLICE SAY THEY UNCOVERED AND ICE IS LINKED TO TERROR PLOT ARRESTING TWO MEN CONNECTED TO IT AND POTENTIALLY NARROWLY AVOIDING A HORRIFIC NIGHTMARE. THE COMPANY IN CHARGE OF SELLING THE TICKETS WROTE ON THEIR WEBSITE THE ORGANIZERS HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CANCEL FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY. UNDER EACH OF THE DIFFERENT CONCERT TATES SAID TO HAPPENED LATER ON THIS WEEK IS SAYS ALL TICKETS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REFUNDED WITHIN THE NEXT 10 BUSINESS DAYS. THE SHOWS WERE SUPPOSED TO START TOMORROW NIGHT. THE ATTACK WAS NOT DIRECTLY TARGETING THE SINGER HERSELF, BUT OFFICIALS SAY THEY DID SPECIFICALLY SEE THE PLANNING HONED IN ON HER CONCERTS. POLICE SAY WAS A PART OF THE PLAN TO ATTACK BIG EVENTS ACROSS THE AND I. THEM AND THEY ARRESTED RAPIDLY RADICALIZED THROUGH THE INTERNET, BUT THE SEARCH IS STILL ON FOR ANYONE WHO MAY KNOW ANYMORE ABOUT THIS. THEY HAVE COME PRETTY FAST AND FURIOUS OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST MAYBE 90 MINUTES OR SO, SO GET US UP TO SPEED IN THIS INVESTIGATION. >> ACCORDING TO U.S. OFFICIALS BRIEFED ON THE INVESTIGATION AUSTRIAN LAW ENFORCEMENT IS LOOKING FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OR INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE HAD SOME KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS PLOT PRIOR TO ITS OCCURRING OR PRIOR TO THE ARREST BEING MADE EARLIER TODA . THAT IS THE PRIMARY CONCERN. RIGHT NOW WHAT THEY KNOW I FEEL THEY WERE IN A GOOD POSITION TO UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME SURVEILLANCE THAT TOOK PLACE PRIOR TO THIS AND THAT IS HOW THEY KNEW ABOUT THESE INDIVIDUALS. THAT IS WHY THEY KNEW THEY WERE FOCUSED IN ON MAJOR EVENTS, BUT SPECIFICALLY THE TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT. THAT WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THE 19-YEAR-OLD WAS FOCUSED ON. SOMEBODY WOULD BECOME RADICALIZED ONLINE AND HAD PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE TO ISIS SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. THAT IS WHAT WE KNOW AS FAR AS THE SUSPECTS ARE CONCERNED >> SO TALK ABOUT THE TAYLOR SWIFT PART HERE. UNLESS I AM MISTAKEN SHE HAS NOT RESPONDED ON THIS HERSELF, BUT WHAT OFFICIALS SAY ABOUT THE PLOT BECAUSE IT DIDN'T TARGET HER SPECIFICALLY, BUT IT DID TARGET REALLY BIG CROWDS. >> NOT ONLY THAT BUT HAS A REPUTATION OF NOT JUST THE PEOPLE TO THE CONCERT, BUT THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE. THAT IS SOMETHING POLICE TALKED ABOUT. VISITING AND SPENDING TIME ON THE STREETS. DEFINITELY A BIG COMPONENT AND WHY THEY ARE GOING TO BE SO AGGRESSIVE WITH THEIR SECURITY >> WHAT IS THE LEVEL OF CONCERN MOVING FORWARD? HOW DO THEY CALIBRATE THIS?>> ARRESTS WERE MADE BY FRENCH OFFICIALS. THERE IS CLEARLY A HIGH THREAT ENVIRONMENT THAT ESCALATED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 7, BUT HAS ONLY INCREASED INSIGNIFICANTLY SO SINCE THAT TIME PERIOD. EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY REMAINS DEEPLY CONCERNED. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING THE LATEST ON THIS. WE KNOW YOU ARE WORKING THE PHONES STILL. >>> BREAKING NEWS WHERE WE ARE SEEING THE DAMAGE FROM A TORNADO THAT TOUCHED DOWN IN NORTH CAROLINA. A BUILDING COLLAPSE. YOU SEE THE ROOF RIPPED OFF THAT HOUSE IN SAMPSON COUNTY. FORTUNATELY NOBODY HAS BEEN HURT AS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE BRACING FOR TROPICAL STORM DEBBY TO STRENGTHEN AGAIN. POSSIBLY TRIGGERING MORE OF THE DANGEROUS FLOODING THAT YOU JUST SAW. LOOK AT THIS. THE PARKING LOT OF AN ARBY'S. YOU SEE ROADS TURNED INTO RIVERS AND SOME PLACES. AS OUR WEATHER TEAM IS TELLING US THE STORM IS BRINGING WITH IT THE POSSIBILITY OF INTENSE FLASH FLOODING, A HUGE STORM SURGE, AND EVEN MAYBE TORNADOES. YOU CAN SEE THAT PATH. HUNDREDS OF MILES NORTH. IT IS A DIFFERENT STORM SYSTEM, BUT ONE THAT IS FUELED IN BOOSTED BY DEBBIE AFTER PEOPLE HAVING TO BE RESCUED IF. WITH US IN SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT LET ME START WITH OUR METEOROLOGIST. WHAT IS GOING ON BUT THIS TORNADO? WHEN IS THE STATE HAD TO BE HIT HARD BY DEBBIE PART TWO? IS IT ALL RELATED? >> IT IS, AND WE EXPECT THESE ON THOSE OUTER BANDS. WE SAW SOME PICTURES FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. GOT A COUPLE LAST NIGHT AND ALSO THE ONE THAT WE SAW TODAY. IF WE WANT TO ROLL THOSE PICTURES AGAIN IT IS WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A TROPICAL SYSTEM. THIS IS USUALLY TORNADOES THAT ARE ZEROS OR ONES IN THE FORM QUICKLY AND ALSO DISSIPATE QUICKLY. WE GET A LOT OF WINDOWS SMASHED OUT. FAIRLY SIMILAR TO THE PICTURE THAT WE SHOWED RIGHT THERE. HERE IS A VIEW OF THE RADAR. IF WE GET STORMS LIKE THAT IT WOULD BE IN THIS PART FROM THE MYRTLE BEACH AREA TO WILMINGTON. THIS IS OUT UNTIL 11:00 AND IT IS WITH THESE BANDS. THIS IS WHERE THEY WOULD BE. THIS IS THE WILMINGTON AREA, SO WE WILL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THAT. IT WILL EVENTUALLY PUSH INLAND. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SHE HAS BEEN IN THE PATH IN SOUTH CAROLINA SAYING THEY HAVE PUT HUNDREDS OF STAFFERS IN THE AREA TO BE READY FOR WHAT IS NEXT. TALK US THROUGH IT. >> YOU HAVE BEEN ESSENTIALLY SAYING ACT NUMBER TWO FOR DEBBIE BASICALLY STRENGTHENING OFFSHORE. HERE THE STORM COMES AGAIN. AREAS THAT GOT HIT LIKE THIS ARE SO SATURATED. WE WANT TO SHOW YOU VIDEO OF THE PUMP SYSTEM THAT WE SHOWED IN THE LAST HOUR WHEN IT WAS GUSHING WATER BACK INTO THE CHARLESTON HARBOR. THAT IS WATER THAT HAD BEEN CAPTURED IN THE CITIES UNDERGROUND STORMWATER SYSTEM. BASICALLY TRYING TO DRAIN THE CITY. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OUR CLIMATE TEAM THAT DEBBIE SHOULD HIT THIS AREA AROUND 2:00 A.M., SO THE RAIN YOU SEE HERE IS A PREVIEW OF THIS. WITH THAT IN MY LOCAL OFFICIALS HAVE HAD A LOT OF PRESS CONFERENCES. THE LATEST ONE STRESSING TO THE PEOPLE IT WAS ROUND ONE. DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN JUST YET BECAUSE DEBBIE IS COMING BACK. HERE IS SOME OF WHAT WE HEARD. >> WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR THINGS HAVE NOT BEEN AS BAD AS THEY COULD HAVE BEEN. WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF RAIN AND IT IS NOT OVER >> IT PUT EVENTUALLY DOUBLE WITH CLOSE TO TWO FEET OF RAIN. THE BIGGEST THING OFFICIALS SAY IS THAT PARTS OF THE CITY IN CHARLESTON THAT DO NOT NORMALLY FLOOD COULD VERY EASILY FLOOD DURING THIS ROUND, SO THEY ARE ASKING EVERYBODY TO BE ON BOARD AT THIS TIME.>> APPRECIATE IT. >>> THE NEWLY MINTED DEMOCRATIC TICKET. ON THE ROAD. I WANT TO SHOW YOU A LIVE LOOK AT THAT A RALLY IN DETROIT. SET TO TAKE THIS STAGE TOGETHER IN THE MAYBE NEXT HOUR OR SO. JUST IN WISCONSIN EARLIER TODAY WITH THE CHANCE OF ERUPTING FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYING LISTEN TO THIS. THANK YOU, JOE. >> THAT IS RIGHT. >> OBVIOUSLY A NOD TO PRESIDENT BIDEN. >> AS THE PRESIDENT IS GIVING HIS FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE DROPPING OUT OF THE RACE. LISTEN TO THIS. >> ARE YOU CONFIDENT THAT THERE WILL BE A PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER JANUARY 2025? >> IF TRUMP WINS I AM NOT CONFIDENT AT ALL. OR IF TRUMP LOSES I AM NOT COMPETENT AT ALL. HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS BE WE DO NOT TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY. ALL OF THE STUFF ABOUT IT WE LOSE IT WILL BE A BLOODBATH. LOOK WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO NOT IN THE LOCAL ELECTION DISTRICTS WHERE THEY COUNT THE VOTES. THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE IN STATES THAT ARE GOING TO COUNT THE VOTES.>> WE ARE EXPECTING TO HEAR MORE OF THAT INTERVIEW LATER ON. IN THE MEANTIME YOU HAVE THIS SPLIT SCREEN MOMENT WITH THE CAMPAIGN FOCUSING ON THESE RUST BELT BATTLEGROUNDS. MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN WHERE THEY WERE A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO. YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER GUY. THAT IS OF COURSE THE GOP VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK J.D. VANCE. AT ONE POINT HE WAS ON THE SAME AIRPORT TARMAC. HE WALKED UP TO AIR FORCE 2. THE VICE PRESIDENTS PLANE. SAID HE WANTED TO CHECK OUT HIS FUTURE PLANE. THE TICKET IS IN PLACE. THE QUESTION OF WHO HARASSES RUNNING MADE IS GOING TO BE IS OUT OF THE WAY. CAN THEY BRING OVER MORE VOTERS TO THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. THEY SAY THEY RAISED A $36 MILLION IN THE 24 HOURS AFTER ANNOUNCING HIM AS THE PICK >>> HOW WILL DEMOCRATS TRY TO DEFINE TIM WALZ? RELATIVELY UNKNOWN TO A LOT OF AMERICANS. AS THEY ARE ALSO WORKING TO DEFINE HIM IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY. NEITHER SIDE HAS A LOT OF TIME BECAUSE THIS IS A SUPERCHARGED SPRINT. WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE WITH THE LATEST FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN MICHIGAN. I WANT TO START WITH MONICA LIVE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. LET'S START WITH SOME OF THESE NEW COMMENTS. SOMEBODY WHO'S STEPPED OFF OF THE TICKET AND IN MANY WAYS STEPPED OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT TO ALLOW KAMALA HARRIS TO TAKE THAT STAGE . SHE IS THE LEADER OF THIS TICKET NOW. SOME NEWS MADE HERE I SEE IS CASTING WHAT HE SEES AS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY AS IT RELATES TO FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. >> THIS IS A FOUNDING PRINCIPLE. THIS OVERALL CONCERN ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR DEMOCRACY. THE BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF OUR NATION. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE REPEAL OF THE AFTER CHARLOTTESVILLE. AFTER JANUARY 6 HAPPEN HE ALSO MADE THIS ARGUMENT. THIS ONE OF HIS MOST MAJOR CONCERNS AND WHY HE WANTED TO RUN FOR REELECTION BEFORE DECIDING TO EXIT THE RACE. THAT IS THE MESSAGE THAT YOU SAW HIM HINTING AT AND TALKING ABOUT IN THIS INTERVIEW. THIS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN AND RAISING THIS IDEA THAT THERE COULD BE SOME POTENTIAL POLITICAL VIOLENCE. PRETTY REGULARLY AND REPEATEDLY, BUT HE IS NO LONGER A CANDIDATE AND INSTEAD APPROACHING THIS AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IN CURRENT COMMANDER IN CHIEF IS STILL DOING HIS DAY JOB. I THINK IT IS NOTABLE THAT HE IS RAISING THIS AS AN ISSUE, BUT IT IS NOT ONE THAT HE IS SAYING HE HAS A DIRECT ROLE IN TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER THAT IS GOING TO BE THE CASE IN TERMS OF WHETHER HE IS DEFEATED OR NOT IN NOVEMBER. THAT IS NOT UP TO ESSENTIALLY VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND GOVERNOR TIM WALZ. IT IS THIS FASCINATING MOMENT WHERE WE HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH OF HIM IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. HE HAS CERTAINLY HAD INTERNAL MEETINGS AND CALLS AND OTHER WORK IS DONE BEHIND THE SCENES TO TRY TO GET THE CEASE-FIRE DEAL POTENTIALLY OVER THE FINISH LINE, BUT IT IS ONE WHERE HE CLEARLY WANTED TO DELIVER SOME KIND OF A MESSAGE WITH MORE ANSWERS ABOUT WHY HE DID IN THE END DECIDED TO NOT GO FORWARD WITH HIS REELECTION BID. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE I KNOW THAT OUR COLLEAGUES ARE OUT THERE WITH THESE RUST BELT BATTLEGROUNDS PLAYING OUT IN REAL TIME. NEW POLL AND COMING IN FROM WISCONSIN. ONE OF THE STOPS TODAY SHOWING THAT THIS IS IN A DEAD HEAT IN THE BATTLEGROUND.>>WITH LIKELY VOTERS 50% FOR HER. YOU ARE SEEING THIS PATTERN EMERGE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND WEEKS AS WE HAVE SEEN HER BECOME THE TOP OF THE TICKET. SOME OF THESE BATTLEGROUND STATES WHERE THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAD A LITTLE MORE OF AN ADVANTAGE. AS WE KNOW VERY WELL THESE ARE STILL TOTALLY WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR >> LET'S TAKE YOU OUT TO THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. YOU COVERED THE TRUMP AND J.D. VANCE CAMPAIGN. WHAT WE ARE SEEING FROM BOTH OF THESE PICKS NOW IS THEY ARE BOTH TAKING ON THAT TRADITIONAL ATTACKED OUR MORAL IF YOU WILL OF WHAT I USUALLY IS. LET ME PLAY YOU SOME OF THE BACK AND FORTH WE HAVE HEARD IN THE LAST EIGHT HOURS OR SO. >> JUST LIKE ALL OF US IN REGULAR AMERICA. WE GO TO YALE AND THEN WE HAVE OUR CAREERS FUNDED BY SILICON VALLEY BILLIONAIRES. AND THEN YOU WRITE A BOOK ABOUT THE PLACE YOU GROW IT AND YOU TRASHED THE PLACE. >> WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THE STOLEN VALOR GARBAGE. DO NOT PRETEND TO BE SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT I WOULD BE ASHAMED IF I WAS HIM IN LINE ABOUT MY MILITARY SERVICE LIKE HE DID. >> TALK ABOUT THE AY THAT THIS RACE IS SHAPING UP AS A RELATES TO THEM. PARTICULARLY AS J.D. VANCE IS BY FAR THE MORE VISIBLE OF THE PEOPLE ON THE TRUMPET TICKET GIVEN THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT PHONED IN AN INTERVIEW THIS MORNING. HE IS BEEN OUT THERE IN PUBLIC DOING THIS PROGRAMMING >> THAT IS GREAT. YOU ARE SEEING THEM DEPLOY HIM IN A VERY TRADITIONAL WAY. ESSENTIALLY FOLLOWING THEM AROUND THE COUNTRY THROUGH THESE VERY SMALL EVENTS. ESSENTIALLY TRYING TO TROLL HIS WAY INTO MOSTLY THE LOCAL TELEVISION HEADLINES ABOUT THE TRIPS THAT THEY ARE TAKING TO THESE PLACES. THAT IS WHY YOU SAW HIM APPROACHING THE PLANE IN WISCONSIN. A LITTLE BIT OF A STUNT, BUT MANAGED TO KEEP THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN THE MIX IN A MOMENT THAT IS BEING DOMINATED. HE SAW A LITTLE BIT OF THIS TODAY WITH THE VARIETY OF ATTACKS HE TRIED TO DEPLOY AGAINST THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN AND TIM WALZ. A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY. SUGGESTING TIM WALZ ARTIFICIALLY CLAIMED HE IS A COMBAT VETERAN WHEN HE IS NOT. EVEN CONTINUING TO TURN TO STIR THE POT ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET INCLUDING JOSH SCHAPIRO WHO WASN'T PICKED TO BE ON IT. THE CLAIMS THAT HE AND OTHERS AND SOMEHOW THE NON-SELECTION IF HE WAS BASED ON ANTI- SEMITISM. I WILL PLAY YOU WHAT HE TOLD ME. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT ASSERTION THAT A PERSON IS MARRIED IS SOMEHOW ANTI-SOMATIC? >> KAMALA HARRIS WAS MOTIVATED BY ANTI-SEMITISM >> YOU SEE ANOTHER EFFORT TO DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN ELEMENTS OF THE DEMOCRATIC COALITION. THEY DISAGREE WITH THE WAY THAT THE WAR IN GAZA HAS BEEN HANDLED. WE WILL SEE IF THAT STORY FADES INTO THE BACKGROUND WITH THE TIM WALZ SELECTION MOVING FORWARD. >> ALL POTENTIAL FODDER IF THERE IS A DEBATE. >> MY MONEY STILL SAYS THERE WILL BE. I THINK HE WAS PICKED FOR HIS ABILITY TO BE AN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATOR OF WHAT DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO DO WITH A SECOND TERM, AND HIS PICK FOR HIS ABILITY TO BE AN EFFECTIVE COUNTERBALANCE. I THINK BOTH CAMPAIGNS THINK A VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE WILL SERVE THEIR INTEREST TO ME. IT IS JUST A QUESTION OF WHEN AND WHERE.>>> YOU HEARD SOME OF THEIR CRITICISM ON HIS MILITARY RECORD. ATTACKS THAT. TO BE TWO PRONGED. FIRST ACCUSATIONS THAT HE GAVE UP ON HIS BATTALION WHEN HE LEFT THE MILITARY AFTER 24 YEARS AND THAT HE ELECTED TO SERVE IN A COMBAT ZONE WHEN HE DID NOT. >> I SPENT 25 YEARS IN THE ARMY AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING. I HAVE BEEN VOTING FOR COMMONSENSE LEGISLATION, BUT WE CAN DO BACKGROUND CHECKS AND MAKE SURE WE DO NOT HAVE RECIPROCAL CARRY AND MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WEAPONS OF WAR I CARRIED IN WAR IS THE ONLY PLACE THOSE ARE. >> WHAT IS THE REALITY? HE SERVED FROM 1981 TO 2005 IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. RETIRED AND THEN RAN FOR CONGRESS. HE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IN THE PAST THAT HE NEVER SAW COMBAT. SAYING THAT I KNOW THERE ARE CERTAINLY FOLKS THAT DID FAR MORE THAN I DID. I KNOW THAT. THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING THAT HE CARRIED AND FIRED AND TRAINED OTHERS TO USE WEAPONS OF WAR INNUMERABLE TIMES. YOU WOULD NEVER INSULT OR UNDERMINE ANY AMERICAN SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY. HE THINKS SENATOR VANCE FOR PUTTING HIS LIFE ON THE LINE FOR OUR COUNTRY. OUR PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT IS JOINING US NOW. WHAT IS THE REALITY CHECK? >> THE ONE YOU JUST MENTIONED WE HEARD FROM SENATOR VANCE ABOUT. THAT IS WHETHER IN FACT IN HIS TIME HE SERVED IN COMBAT. THE REALITY IS HE DID DO A DEPLOYMENT TO EUROPE TO SUPPORT A COMBAT OPERATION IN AFGHANISTAN. HE DID NOT ACTUALLY GO TO AFGHANISTAN, WHAT WAS DEPLOYED IN SUPPORT OF COMBAT OPERATIONS. I HAVE TO SAY IF YOU TALK TO MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY THEY SEE THIS AS JUST AS CRITICAL. HE MAY NOT BE DODGING BULLETS ON A DAILY BASIS, BUT SENDING THE LOGISTICS IS EVERY BIT AS IMPORTANT DURING A COMBAT OPERATION AS THOSE PEOPLE ARE. >> THE GOVERNOR RETIRED IN 2005. GOING ON TO SAY HE WAS A TIRELESS ADVOCATE FOR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM AND AS VICE PRESIDENT THEY SAY HE WILL CONTINUE TO BE AROUND THIS CHAMPION FOR OUR VETERANS AND MILITARY FAMILIES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>> WE WANT TO TAKE YOU TO MILWAUKEE. THE WIDOW OF A MAN WHO DIED SAYS CHARGES AGAINST THE MEN INVOLVED SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN AS LONG AS THEY DID, AS WE ARE NOW HEARING FROM THE RELATIVES. SAYING IT IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.>> DO I FEEL LIKE IT IS ENOUGH? NO, BUT IT IS A START. I WANT THEM TO BE CHARGED. THEY HAD NO REMORSE FOR HIM. THEY PUNISHED HIM. >> YOU ARE LOOKING HERE AT ONE OF THE MEN FACING FELONY MURDER CHARGES. HE TURNED HIMSELF IN TODAY. MITCHELL DIED IN LATE JUNE AFTER EMPLOYEES GRABBED HIM AND HELD HIM FACEDOWN OUTSIDE THE HOTEL. WE ARE GOING TO SHOW YOU VIDEO ONE TIME OF THOSE MOMENTS, BUT THE FOOTAGE IS VERY HARD TO WATCH. POLICE SAY SOMEBODY WHO HAD GONE IN AND CAUSED A DISTURBANCE. YOU CAN SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE WORKERS DRAGGING HIM OUTSIDE AND HOLDING HIM TO THE GROUND. ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINT HE WAS HELD DOWN FOR SOMETHING LIKE 8 TO 9 MINUTES. THEY HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS AND IS JOINING US NOW. WE ARE HEARING FROM A BELLHOP WHO WAS INVOLVED IN THIS INCIDENT WHO SAYS HE SHOWED NO VIOLENCE TOWARDS MITCHELL. THEY ARE DISPUTING THAT. CAN HELP US UNPACK THAT?>> THAT IS RIGHT. OUR AFFILIATE ON THE GROUND TO SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE FOUR MEN WHO HAS NOW BEEN CHARGED WITH FELONY MURDER. HE SAID THAT HE WAS NUMB. IT LIKE IT WAS PROCESSING THIS IN REAL TIME. WANTED TO STATE HIS INNOCENCE. THE FAMILY HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR. THEY MAKE VERY CLEAR FROM THE FOOTAGE THEY HAVE SEEN IN THE DIFFERENT ANGLES THAT HAVE BECOME AVAILABLE THAT THEY FEEL THIS WAS REALLY AN EGREGIOUS RESPONSE TO THIS ALLEGED DISTURBANCE. I KNOW YOU MENTIONED ONLY SEEING THAT A VIDEO ONE TIME, BUT IT HAS BEEN REALLY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO PROCESS AND SEE THIS REPEATED THE ON THE GROUND. TAKE A LISTEN TO THE BELLHOP DESCRIBING FOR HIMSELF.>> I AM INNOCENT. I DID NOT DO ANYTHING. ALL I DID IS WHAT I WAS TOLD TO DO BY MY MANAGEMENT. >> THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WILL LIKELY HEAR MORE OF BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT QUESTION ON THE GROUND. WHAT KIND OF DIRECTIVES DID STAFF RECEIVE? DID THEY RECEIVE TRAINING SAYING THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO IN THESE INCIDENTS? NOT VERY TYPICAL TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH MURDER. SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO THE CAMERA. THIS IS AN UNUSUAL LEVEL OF ACCESS TO GET TO, BUT CERTAINLY GOING TO BE A BIG PART OF THE CASE.>> TALK THERE WHAT IS HAPPENING AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO TOMORROW >> THE'S MEN ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THEIR HEARINGS AND TURNED THEMSELVES IN AND THEY WILL HAVE TO RESPOND TO THESE CHARGES. IF WHAT WE JUST HEARD IS ANY INDICATION IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO FIGHT THIS. THIS MAY DRAG OUT. THERE WILL BE SEVERAL PARTS OF THIS INVESTIGATION. OF COURSE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT TRANSPIRED IN THE LOBBY WE DO NOT SEE ON CAMERA. ALSO THERE IS THE QUESTION ABOUT THE LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOTEL MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS WHO COULD HAVE ARGUABLY HAD A CONNECTION TO THE DECISIONS MADE THAT DAY >> WE WANT TO TAKE YOU TO A PRETTY STUNNING DEVELOPMENT. THOSE ASTRONAUTS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HEAD TO THE SPACE STATION AND THEN GOT HELD UP FOR MORE THAN 60 DAYS. THEY MAY HAVE TO BE UP THERE FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS. THE MISSION WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A WEEK AND A HALF. NOW THEY ARE WEIGHING THE OPTIONS, AND THEY MAY HAVE TO GET SPACEX TO HELP BRING THEM HOME. OUR SENIOR CORRESPONDENT HAS BEEN ALL OVER THIS STORY FOR US. IT IS NOT A THREE-HOUR TOUR. IT WAS A 10 DAY VISIT THAT HAS TURNED INTO MAYBE SIX MONTHS. WHAT DO THEY DO? DO THEY HAVE ENOUGH FOOD OR WHATEVER? >> IT IS STILL A POSSIBILITY, BUT LISTENING TO THE CONFERENCE CALL TODAY. THEY ARE CLEARLY LEANING IN THIS DIRECTION. THEY HAVE A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS ON A WHOLE BUNCH OF CAVEATS. ARE THEY RUNNING OUT OF SUPPLIES ON THE SPACE STATION? THEY NOW HAVE TWO EXTRA PEOPLE USING UP THE CONSUMABLES, SO YES. THEY WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM BACK. TAKE A LOOK AT THE TIMELINE FOR THIS MISSION. HERE IS HOW IT GOT ALL MESSED UP. THEY SAID THEY ARE GOING TO DELAY THE RETURN AND NEED TO WORK ON SOME MECHANICAL ISSUES. JUNE 14. DELAYING AGAIN. JUNE 21. DELAYING AGAIN. NOW THEY SAY THE STARLINER CREW MAY BE DELAYED UNTIL FEBRUARY 2025. THE PROBLEM IS THERE IS A BIG INTERNAL DEBATE OVER WHETHER IT IS SAFE FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON STARLINER. YOU HAVE A BIG DIVISION OF OPINION ON THIS. IMAGINE YOU ARE THE EXECUTIVE OF NASA WHO NEEDS TO COME DOWN AND MAKE A DECISION. IF YOU HAVE A BIG CHUNK OF YOUR ENGINEERS ARE GIVING NO IT'S HARD NOT TO CRACK. IF YOU SAY I'M GOING TO OVERRULE THOSE ENGINEERS. >> IF THEY COME HOME AND NEED A SPACEX TO COME HOME IS THAT A BATTLE FOR BOEING? >> WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT. HE IS EATING BOEINGS LUNCH. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT. THIS IS THEIR FIRST CREW MISSION TO THE SPACE STATION, AND I THINK THEY HAVE AN EMERGENCY ESCAPE VEHICLE JUST IN CASE. IN THE MEANTIME GUESS HOW MANY MISSIONS SPACE X HAS DONE? NINE. NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE CARGO MISSIONS. THEY HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS. >> OKAY. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO KNOW FOR SURE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? IS THIS THE FOR SURE MOMENT? WELL YOU ARE TALKING THROUGH THE HUB BOEING AND NASA ARE SAYING THEY ARE NOT STUCK. THEY CAN COME HOME ANY TIME IF NEEDED TO. IT FELT LIKE IT STARTED TO TURN A LITTLE BIT.>> I STARTED TO SAY TWO PEOPLE GIVE ME A BREAK. YOU ARE STUCK BECAUSE YOUR CAR IS BROKEN. THEY TAKE ISSUE WITH THAT, BUT AT A CERTAIN POINT THEY ARE KIND OF STUCK. >> THANK YOU. IT IS CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT >>> LATER WE HAVE A LOT MORE TO GET TO INCLUDING THE FAMILY OF ONE OF THE VICTIMS OF THE OCEANGATE >>> IF THE POTENTIAL DAMAGES ARE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH PLAINTIFF'S ATTORNEYS WILL SOMETIMES PROCEED EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE A WAIVER THAT SEEMS TO APPARENTLY ABSOLVE THE COMPANY THE DEFENDANT OF ALL RESPONSIBILITY. >> WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO FILE THE SUIT? IS THAT TYPICAL IN AN INSTANCE LIKE THIS?>> IT IS. WASHINGTON STATE IS A THREE- YEAR PERSONAL INJURY STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. SIMILARLY THE JONES ACT THAT THIS IS FILED UNDER ALSO HAS A THREE-YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. THEY WERE NOWHERE CLOSE TO RUNNING OUT OF TIME. I OFTEN WAIT UP TO A YEAR JUST TO DO THE INVESTIGATION AND FIGURE OUT WHERE YOUR DAMAGES ARE AND GET YOUR DUCKS LINED UP AND FILED THE BEST COMPLAINT YOU CAN ESPECIALLY IN A CASE LIKE THIS. YOU WANT TO DO A LITTLE INVESTIGATION TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO GET OVER OR BEYOND THAT IF THERE IS ONE THAT APPLIES TO THIS CLAIM. >> IF YOU HAD TO HANDICAP THE CHANCES MOVING FORWARD HOW WOULD YOU? >> I WOULD PUT THEM AT HIGH. IF THEY FELT THAT THEY FEEL HIGH THEY CAN GET PAST THE WAIVER. THE DEFENSE WILL PROBABLY MOVE TO THROW IT OUT BASED ON THE WAIVER AND SOME OTHER THINGS, BUT ULTIMATELY IF IT SURVIVES THAT MOTION IN ALL LIKELIHOOD MOST CIVIL CASES DON'T GO TO TRIAL. THEY USUALLY END UP SETTLING. THAT IS JUST PLAYING THE ODDS WHERE A LOT OF CASES LIKE THIS USUALLY END UP >>> LET'S GET YOU OVER TO THE FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TONIGHT. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS NEW TIME LAPSE VIDEO OF THAT HUGE PARK FIRE IN CALIFORNIA. SUPER THICK SMOKE TAKING OVER THE SKY. IT HAS BURNED MORE THAN 420,000 ACRES IS SO FAR DESTROYING SOME 600 BUILDINGS. ABOUT 34% CONTAINED.>>> NELLY HAS BEEN ARRESTED AND SENT WAS FOR FAILURE TO SHOW ON A TRAFFIC CHARGE. ACCORDING TO ARREST RECORDS WAS ALSO IN POSSESSION OF MULTIPLE XTC PILLS PEOPLE LISA SAY HE HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM THEIR CUSTODY. WE HAVE NOT HEARD BACK YET FROM HIS TEAM, BUT WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE DO. >>> CRUISE RESCUING SOMEONE WHO FELL IN NEARLY 30 FEET. BADLY HURT AND TOOK THEM ABOUT 40 MINUTES TO REACH HER. THERE WAS A HELICOPTER THAT PULLED HER UP. NO WORD ON HOW SHE IS DOING NOW. >>> BOIL WATER ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED AFTER A BALLOON HIT A POWER LINE. THAT IS WHAT DID IT. THIS WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL AT LEAST THURSDAY WHILE THEY TEST THE WATER SAMPLES. >>> SHINGLE BOHNE LAUNCHING A NEW PERFUME. NOT SO MUCH FOR YOU AS FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND. THAT IS RIGHT. YOU CANNOT BUY PERFUME FOR YOUR DOG IF YOU HAVE BEEN DESPERATELY SEEKING THAT. SOME VETS SAY IT MAY INTERFERE WITH THEIR SENSE OF SMELL OR COVER UP CERTAIN ODORS THAT COULD BE A SYMPTOM OF DISEASE. >>> NEW RESEARCH FINDS SOME TOBACCO COMPANIES ARE USING CHEMICALS THAT MIMIC NICOTINE AND POTENTIALLY GETTING AROUND HEALTH REGULATIONS. ESSENTIALLY REPLACING NICOTINE WITH LARGELY UNTESTED CHEMICALS. THEY BASICALLY DO THE SAME THING TRYING TO ALLEGEDLY DOLCH SOME OF THESE. THEY ALSO HAVE FLAVORS AND SWEETENERS. THINGS THAT EXPERTS SAY COULD ATTRACT YOUNGER PEOPLE OR NON- VAPORS INTO SORT OF THE VAPING ARENA. >> WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THESE CHEMICALS AND HOW MUCH ARE IN THESE PRODUCTS AND OR SHOULD WE BE SUPER CONCERNED ABOUT IT OR WHAT? >> YEAH. THESE RESEARCHERS LOOKED AT TWO DIFFERENT MAJOR BRANDS OF THESE THE CIGARETTES AND WERE CONSECRATING ONTO DIFFERENT CHEMICALS THAT WERE IN THEIR. THESE ARE KIND OF NICOTINE ANALOGS. THEY ARE KIND OF CHEMICALLY SIMILAR, BUT DIFFERENT ENOUGH, AND SO FAR AS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN STUDIED AND ARE NOT FDA REGULATED. WHAT THEY FOUND WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CONSIDERABLY MORE TOXIC AND POTENT THAN REGULAR NICOTINE. THEY ACTUALLY FOUND THAT THERE WAS LESS ON THE PRODUCT LABELED, BUT WHAT THEY ALSO FOUND AS THEY MAY CONTAIN SWEETENERS OR COOLANTS. EXPERTS DO NOT KNOW THE MIX OF THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN THESE ARE HEATED UP HOW MUCH POTENTIAL DAMAGE THAT COULD CAUSE TO THE USER. >> IF YOU'RE TRYING TO STOP SMOKING BY VAPING ESSENTIALLY IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SUPER UNCOMMON WHAT SHOULD YOU BE LOOKING FOR? >> I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONE THING. THE RESEARCH DOES SHOW THE USE OF E-CIGARETTES REGULARLY DOES RESULT IN SMOKING CESSATION OF WHAT WE CALL REGULAR CIGARETTES OR COMBUSTIBLE CIGARETTES. I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS. THE FDA VERY FIRMLY STATES THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SAFE TOBACCO PRODUCT, AND E- CIGARETTES ARE CONSIDERED TOBACCO PRODUCTS BECAUSE NICOTINE DERIVES FROM TOBACCO. IF YOU ARE A SMOKER AND WANT TO QUIT AND ARE USING AN E- CIGARETTE BY ALL MEANS, BUT YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT PROPER USE OF THE BATTERY IN THE LIQUID. AND TO BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT HARMS THAT CAN COME FROM E CIGARETTES INCLUDING SIGNIFICANT LUNG INJURY. YOU HAVE TO EDUCATE OURSELF IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE THIS FOR SMOKING. >> OKAY A GOOD WORDS OF WISDOM. APPRECIATE THAT. >>> COMING UP. PRETTY WILD SCENES FROM LONDON. WATCHING COUNTER PROTESTERS COME OUT IN FORCE BUT WE >>> THOUSANDS OF COUNTER PROTESTERS ARE GATHERING AGAINST ANTI-MUSLIM AND ANTI IMMIGRANT VIOLENCE THAT HAS BEEN BUBBLING UP IN THE COUNTRY FOR A WEEK. AFTER THE KNIFE ATTACK THAT LEFT THREE GIRLS DEAD. WE WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES FROM LONDON. HUGE CROWDS CHANTING THINGS LIKE REFUGEES WELCOME AND LONDON AGAINST RACISM. GATHERING OF SOME OF THE SAME CITIES WHERE POLICE HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. THOSE RIOTS FUELED BY DISINFORMATION THAT SPREAD QUICKLY ONLINE IN THE WAKE OF THAT HORRIFIC ATTACK LAST WEEK WHERE THE SUSPECT WAS WRONGLY IDENTIFIED AS AN ASYLUM SEEKER WHO HAD JUST ARRIVED. NIGHT AFTER NIGHT. YOU HAVE BEEN ON IT FROM THE JUMP. WE HAVE SEEN THOSE INITIAL PROTESTS HAVE BEEN. NOW THESE COUNTER PROTESTERS ARE TURNING OUT IN BIG NUMBERS. WHAT WAS THE SENSE THAT YOU GOT FROM PEOPLE? >> THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT TONIGHT WAS FAR LESS VIOLENT THAN THEY HAD FEARED. I WAS AT TWO OF THOSE PROTESTED TONIGHT WHERE THE ANTI IMMIGRATION RIOTERS DID NOT SHOW UP . IT WAS ONLY ANTI PROTESTERS WHO WERE THERE TO SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES. THE POLICE ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO GO HOME BECAUSE THE ANTI IMMIGRATION PROTESTERS WERE THERE TO KIND OF COUNTER HADN'T BOTHERED TO SHOW UP. I WANT YOU TO HEAR FROM ONE OF THESE COUNTER PROTESTERS WHO SHOWED UP TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR IMMIGRANTS AND HEAR WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY.>> THERE IS NO LOGIC BEHIND IT. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY THEY ARE ANGRY. GET EDUCATED >> POLICE SAY THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 10 ARRESTED TONIGHT. ABOUT 10 MILES SOUTH OF WHERE I AM AT. THEY SAY THAT ALL OF THOSE WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY KIND OF PROTEST. ESSENTIALLY JUST TROUBLEMAKERS WHO SHOWED UP. THAT IS GIVING SOME HOPE THAT SOME OF THIS IS QUIETING DOWN. >> ALSO THE DISINFORMATION FACTOR HAS BEEN A BIG ONE. THERE IS IN ELON MUSK COMPONENT TO THIS. EXPLAINED THAT. >> THE HAS BEEN FANNING THE FLAMES BY ESSENTIALLY ACCUSING THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT OF HAVING A DOUBLE STANDARD TOWARDS FAR RIGHT PROTESTERS SAYING THAT THE UK SHOULDN'T BE FOCUSED ON MAKING MUSLIMS FEEL WELCOME BUT BE FOCUSED ON MAKING EVERYBODY INCLUDING PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT FEEL WELCOME. THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT COMMENTS THAT THE UK GOVERNMENT FEELS IS HELPFUL RIGHT NOW AND PARTICULARLY AFTER THIS PLAYED A ROLE IN FANNING THE FLAMES AFTER THE STABBING LAST WEEK. THEY ARE NOW GOING AFTER THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES THAT ALLOW THIS KIND OF STUFF ON THEIR PLATFORMS.>> LIVE IN LONDON TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US UP TO SPEED . >>> BECAUSE IT CAN BE TOUGH TO READ OR WATCH OR LISTEN TO THEM ALL OUR TEAMS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE DONE IT FOR YOU. HERE IS A LOOK AT A SEGMENT WE CALL THE GLOBAL. >>> AND NEW RECORD AND NE THAT THEY DID NOT WANT TO BREAK. OCEAN TEMPERATURES AT THE GREAT BARRIER REEF THE HOTTEST THEY HAVE BEEN IN 400 YEARS ACCORDING TO SCIENTISTS. SCIENTISTS ARE FINDING THAT WATER TEMPERATURES HIT THEIR HIGHEST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR >>> ANY STUDY FINDS THE FOSSILS DISCOVERED ON THAT ISLAND BELONGED TO AN EARLY HUMAN SPECIES. THEY WERE FIRST FOUND A COUPLE OF DECADES AGO. THE STUDY REVEALS THAT THEY EXISTED SOME 700,000 YEARS AGO >>> AND ALL AROUND A HUGE DAY AT THE OLYMPICS. INCLUDING OUR RESIDENT GOLD MEDALIST >>> THE U.S. BRINGING HOME SOME MORE AT THE OLYMPICS TODAY. QUINCY HALL BRINGING HOME THE GOLD IN THE MEN'S 400 METER. THIS WAS A WILD RACE. THE WOMEN'S POLE VAULT. TAKING HOME THE SILVER. JUST UNDER 16 FEET. AND THEN THERE IS THIS ARTISTIC SWIMMING ROUTINE THAT HELP THEM WIN A SILVER MEDAL. BIG DAVE 4 SEAM TEAM USA. OUR FRIEND IS LIVE TO BRING IT ALL DOWN FOR US. SPIN MOVE I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE ARTISTIC SWIMMING. >> IT IS BEAUTIFUL IN THE FIRST TIME IN A COUPLE OF DECADES THAT THE U.S. HAS WON. >> I FEEL LIKE THE LAST TIME I WAS LIKE 10 YEARS OLD, BUT IT HAS GONE FULL GANGSTER. THE CONTORTIONS AND THE MUSIC IS LIKE JAPAN DID EMINEM FOR THE WHOLE ROUTINE. AND SNOOP. I WILL TELL YOU. SOMETIMES IT MAKES ME ANXIOUS. THAT COME UP OUT OF THE WATER AND SOME OF THEM ARE SO RED- FACED I AM THINKING THIS IS A DANGEROUS SPORT. IT IS. >> IT IS SO INTENSE AND ATHLETIC. >> REALLY IMPRESSIVE. TEAM USA JUST IN THE PAST FEW MINUTES ALMOST GOT A GOLD. THEY WERE SECOND TO LAST TO PERFORM. AND THEN HOW ABOUT THIS FOR GEOPOLITICS? CHINA COMES IN WITH AN INCREDIBLE ROUTINE, AND THEY PUSH TEAM USA INTO SECOND PLAC . THEY ALSO HAVE THOSE THINGS ON THE NOTICES. THEY HAVE THESE CONTRAPTIONS ON THEIR NOSES. I THINK YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO DO THAT WHEN YOU ARE UNDER THE WATER SO MUCH. IT IS AN AMAZING SPORT. >> IT'S INCREDIBLE. ALSO INCREDIBLE IS NOAH LYLES. >> THAT WAS MY EXPERT ANALYSIS >> I KNOW YOU ARE JUST YAPPING. CAN WE TALK ABOUT NOAH LYLES? BECAUSE THAT IS DRAMA TOO. NOW GOING TO BE GOING TO THE 200 METER FINAL TOMORROW. THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT THING TOO. >> YEAH. IF HE MANAGES TO DO THAT IT WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1984 ANNA CARL LEWIS. OF COURSE HE HAD USAIN BOLT PULLING THAT OFF A NUMBER OF TIMES. HE IS ON THE EDGE OF GLORY. HE IS SUCH A PERFORMER. I HAVE SET UP BEFORE. ON AND OFF THE TRACK. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THAT RACE. IT IS A BIG ONE BECAUSE HE IS THAT KIND OF SPRINTER THAT REALLY MAKES YOU WANT TO WATCH AND SEE WHAT HE DOES AND HOW HE REACTS. WE WILL JUST SEE. IT IS SO TIGHT. THERE ARE FRACTIONS OF A SECOND IN THIS THING. >> WE HAVE TO GET TO OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY. YOUR FAVORITE MOMENT. WHAT WAS IT FOR YOU? WHAT DID YOU LIKE THE BEST? >> I PREPARED. IT WAS GOING TO BE ARTISTIC SWIMMING. WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IT, SO NOW I AM LOST AGAIN.>> YOU WERE REALLY PREPARED ON THAT. >> I LOVE THAT TEAM USA BEAT GERMANY IN SOCCER. BECAUSE I AM ENGLISH. IN THE END ANYBODY WHO BEATS GERMANY IN SOCCER IS ALL RIGHT WITH ME. YOU GUYS WIN EVERYTHING. YOU HAVE TO WIN OUT SOCCER AS WELL? >> OF THERE IS ONLY ONE COMMERCIAL BREAK. HOW ABOUT THAT? IT IS STILL MY FAVORITE THING. >> I THINK HELIX IS THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH CALLING YOUR COLLEAGUES YOU GUYS ARE ACROSS THE POND >> MAYBE WE CAN WATCH A LITTLE. >> LET'S DO IT. UNPLUGGED. >>> NEW RESEARCH NOW PUTS OUT A NOVEL THEORY ON HOW THE GREAT PERMITS IN EGYPT ARE ACTUALLY BUILT. AND MR. THAT HAS BAFFLED PEOPLE FOR LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF YEARS. ARCHAEOLOGISTS SAY THEY MAY HAVE HARNESSED THE POWER OF WATER TO FLOW TO THESE HUGE STONE BLOCKS HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR. THAT IS WHAT THIS NEW RESEARCH SAYS, BUT NOT EVERYBODY IS CONVINCED.>> THE AGE-OLD QUESTION. HOW DID THE EGYPTIANS BUILD THE PYRAMIDS? PERPLEXING THEM ALL THE WAY BACK TO ANCIENT GREECE. AND BECOMING THE BUTT OF JOKES TODAY. >> DID THIS START AT THE TOP AND WORK DOWN OR THE BOTTOM AND WORK UP? >> FAIRLY SURE THEY STARTED AT THE BOTTOM. WE STILL DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW THEY DID IT. THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF THEORIES. NOW WE ARE GETTING A NEW POTENTIAL ANSWER. ONE A LITTLE MORE GROUNDED IN REALITY. WATER. RESEARCHERS JUST PUBLISHED A STUDY SUGGESTING THAT HYDRAULIC FORCE COULD HAVE HELPED BUILD A MID MORE THAN 4600 YEARS AGO. THE OLDEST OF THE SEVEN MONUMENTAL PYRAMIDS IN EGYPT AND WAS AT THE TIME THE LARGEST STRUCTURE COMING IN AT 204 FEET. STACKED HEAD TO TOE MORE THAN 30 TIMES. SOME OF THOSE WEIGHING MORE THAN 600 POUNDS. THE RESEARCHERS NOW SAY THE INTERNAL ARCHITECTURE SUPPORTS A NEW THEORY OF HYDRAULIC LIFT. AND NEARBY STRUCTURE MAY HAVE FUNCTIONED AS A DAM AND WATER COULD HAVE FLOWED INSIDE THAT WOULD HAVE RAISED SOME SORT OF FLOAT CARRYING THE STONES. THEY SAY IT REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT LEAP IN OUR COMPREHENSION OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ENGINEERING. THE QUESTION IS WHERE WOULD IT COME FROM? SOME EXPERTS ARE SKEPTICAL >> HE IS A PROFESSOR OF EGYPTOLOGY AT YALE. >> WE DO NOT HAVE ANY EVIDENCE MAKING USE OF WATER PRESSURE OR UNDERSTANDING OR EXPLOITING THAT . IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THAT USING THE STRUCTURES THEY ARE DESCRIBING BECAUSE THE ENCLOSURE WOULD LEACH WATER INTO THE DESERT. >> THE RESEARCHERS SAY THERE IS MORE TO INVESTIG
