Hallie Jackson NOW - June 12 — NBC News NOW

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: here we go top of the hour on a friday we come on the air with a roaring stock market after spacex made an historic stock market debut today its founder elon musk now the world's first trillionaire what it all means for the future of the ai investment race and maybe for your 401k as well and right now 65 million people are under threat of severe storms with damaging winds set to slam the northeast after more than a dozen tornadoes carved out a devastating path through the midwest we've got team coverage on where the dangerous weather is headed next and then the new details on a deadly shooting in texas where a gunman opened fire and killed one person well police are now saying about the intense standoff that lasted for hours plus the stunning new video of some strange scenes in the skies the pentagon just dropped its third batch of ufo files so are any are we any closer to learning whether aliens might actually be out there maybe your neighbor is one and we're just hours away now from team usa's big debut at the world cup so will the u.s finally rewrite a legacy of inferiority in international soccer or football as they say that's coming up later in our newscast good day happy friday i'm tom costello in for halley and adjust the last hour wall street end of the week in the green after spacex made a historic stock market debut officially making its founder elon musk the world's first trillionaire now you have the three major indices today all rising at the close the dow up 350 points that's about three quarters of one percent the s&p and the nasdaq also moving higher that reaction in part after spacex's most ambitious launch jet elon musk's company started started trading publicly today raising about 75 billion dollars in what is the largest initial public offering ever but the implications here go far beyond opening trade for years spacex was really only accessible to venture capital firms for international investors and a small group of private shareholders and now ordinary investors can also get in on the action in some cases whether they want to or not because spacex is going to end up in index funds made up of a lot of public companies so your retirement fund may soon include some spacex stock and when people buy stock in spacex they're also investing in elon musk's leadership he's the company's controlling shareholder he's already the richest person in the world but this ipo makes him a trillion air the first ever to put that into perspective now listen to this it would take the average u.s household almost 12 million years to make that much money the other big thing here is how spacex could pave the way for other massive stock debuts the ai investment rates has been getting intense with open ai and anthropic both filing for ipos earlier this month so let's bring in the man the one and only business expert nbc's brian chung for word on this one brian you've been watching this closely all day as have i the ipo is the most volatile period for a stock and a lot of people might want to jump in right now but there's often the downslide after a after an ipo right so what do everyday investors need to know about how this one stock [00:03:33] Speaker 2: might impact them as investors yeah and tom this is monumental and we have to acknowledge that we saw a stock pop in its first day of trading uh shares of spacex began closer to noon eastern time at 135 well actually they were offered to investors at 135 dollars it opened at 150 and then the end of the day at 160 so those that were able to get in on this are feeling pretty good at least off of the first day of trading and again the excitement over this initial public offering is because this is a company that as you mentioned was only previously available to private investors but now mom and pops anyone with a brokerage can now invest in spacex and the idea here is if you're bored with the investable opportunities here on earth why not invest in space where spacex wants to go to mars one day but of course there's always risks around this spacex is not a profitable company it has never been a profitable company only it's starlink satellite business is the profitable bit of this and there's always risk to any stock that it could go to zero but generally as of the last few years at least tech stocks and this is one of the largest ones now have done pretty well yeah they have and musk [00:04:37] Speaker 1: by the way wants to put data centers orbiting the earth and space listen even aside from this huge ipo this was really a big week for the markets right and today's rally comes amid talk new talk of an [00:04:49] Speaker 2: agreement potentially with iran yeah that's right at least that's what we heard from pakistan's leader and again the big story going into this week though was that if things were not looking good on the front with the war with iran when we got to tuesday wednesday where we saw the united states resume some of those strikes on iran we saw the markets go down we were down something like two percent for the week at least on the s p 500 things bounce back and we ended the week in the green not only just because of the president's announcement yesterday that he was going to postpone or cancel the strikes because of positive developments on those negotiations but again some of this optimism over what the market looks like with spacex now entering the market tom i cannot underscore to you enough just how transformational the capital markets are going to look not just because of spacex but again open ai [00:05:32] Speaker 1: anthropic likely to enter the market as well and i think that's the big question right i mean we got signs of inflation and yet this market is uh on fire and it would seem that a lot of it is the ai trade betting that that is going to be the next it is the next industrial revolution that's right that's right brian chung thanks very much all right at this hour about 65 i'm making 63 million people or so from tennessee to new hampshire are under the threat of severe storms as dangerous conditions like high winds to possible power outages sweep across the northeast this evening multiple people were injured after more than a dozen reported tornadoes battered the midwest overnight take a look at the extent of the damage here some houses look just unrecognizable in illinois debris scattered just about everywhere it didn't just hit illinois hard of course hurricane force winds tore through indiana pennsylvania wisconsin iowa at least one child was injured in michigan after a tree fell on a house causing the roof to collapse we're told that little girl is okay now but the winds also downed power lines hundreds of thousands of people are in the dark right now and similar conditions in the midwest expected to worsen with more storms on the way through the weekend so we have got team coverage on this our meteorologist bill karen standing by but we start with nbc's bag of maggie vespa in illinois maggie uh these storms have just devastated this area where you are right there and i'm guessing people are a lot a little bit worried about going into the evening [00:07:01] Speaker 3: tom they absolutely are but they also really can't even think about it right now after what they've been through i mean they're just stunned and there's it's home after home and you saw it in that video that looks exactly like this and by the way this house in particular which is obviously in pieces right it's obliterated it has a really just striking story behind it because we can pull up this video this stringer video this is making the rounds on the internet making huge headlines this photo journalist who had just filmed the tornadoes here came upon this home heard someone yelling for help and found a man buried beneath the rubble in this home that photo journalist i talked to him his name is scott lasker the man in the rubble his name is gary rimack thankfully he's okay he told me over the phone today he has a shattered ankle and other injuries but he's just grateful to be alive and we're hearing story after story like that these tornadoes were massive at least 21 according to our team reported in this outbreak most of them in illinois indiana and wisconsin uh the home damage around this area in particular this is one of the hardest hit is just staggering we've been talking to residents in the area who rode out the storms in their bathrooms in their closets in their hallways absolutely terrified watching that tornado come right at them here's one interview [00:08:15] Speaker 4: i thought the roof was going to cave in that's all i was worried about because all you could hear was the debris going all over the place even right on top of you yes yes we don't have a basement so we're in the bathroom on the floor with a blanket over our head and all you could hear was a bunch of debris you had no idea what was going on outside until we walked outside and half of our neighborhood was gone [00:08:41] Speaker 3: half of their neighborhood was gone that's that neighborhood right there that our camera is aimed at again this whole area has just been ravaged really quickly we have that power outage map you talked about this tom hundreds of thousands of people without power people have been getting alerts saying hopefully it'll be back on by saturday in some areas wow well thank goodness nobody was killed [00:09:01] Speaker 1: there uh maggie thank you very much let's go to bill karen's right now with the forecast bill the northeast tonight the midwest in danger again through the weekend by the way it's like nearly 100 degrees with a heat index in washington today walk us through with where the threats are yeah so this first is what we [00:09:17] Speaker 5: dealt with yesterday and yesterday was our third most active severe weather day of the entire year so it was up there 19 reported tornadoes all the blue dots almost 450 of them were all damaging wind reports that was from the east and in the midwest so what we're dealing with tonight is nothing compared to that we're seeing isolated severe thunderstorms we have a severe thunderstorm watch that includes washington dc to richmond all the way back to roanoke and then we're also from just north of philadelphia including new york city and the hudson valley another thunderstorm watch this will go until nine o'clock and you notice the concentration of storms is not there like yesterday but isolated severe storms could be very strong so new york city right now you're in the clear some very strong storms are coming through the southern catskills and the poconos these will try to push down towards new york city roughly right around 9 p.m this evening washington dc did have a quick little shower go through knock temperatures down a little bit there's a couple other storms to the west of you but the worst weather by far is by fredericksburg severe thunderstorm warning for you gusty winds and the possibility of some small hail tomorrow we bounce back into the central plains kansas city tulsa oklahoma city isolated tornadoes and wind damage and then as you mentioned it comes back to the east coast on sunday including dc new york it looks like late afternoon very typical so you know here we have the storms friday night going into the weekend then it looks like for anyone that's traveling back sunday night uh we're also going to be dealing with more storms yeah and hot out west [00:10:37] Speaker 1: bill karen thank you very much all right we are following the aftermath of a deadly shooting in midland texas where a gunman opened fire and killed one person ten others were injured the mayor there says the shooter is also dead video from the scene shows police officers crouching down behind their cars as gunshots rang out here's that moment caught on tape police say the shooter barricaded himself inside an abandoned veterinary clinic building and was found dead after a standoff with officers a swat team and more than 100 officers responded as it all unfolded over several hours nbc's aaron mclaughlin is following this story for us and aaron what more are we learning about how this went down and who is the shooter yeah really harrowing shock shocking moments there out of [00:11:34] Speaker 6: midland texas tom authorities have identified the suspect as 45 year old victor mata villa real a resident of nearby odessa he was actually wanted by authorities for attempted capital murder charges authorities alleging that on wednesday night he opened fire on police on a police chase he's been on the run ever since they say they received a phone call a call to 911 at 8 a.m this morning of shots fired in this industrial park an active shooter situation underway you see there the massive swat response as a result of those calls authorities arrived on the scene he barricaded himself according to the mayor in an abandoned veterinary clinic it's unclear at this point how he died whether authorities shot and killed him during the shootout or whether he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound authorities at this point are not saying they discovered his body though according to officials via a robot and drone tom uh and we know [00:12:48] Speaker 1: that roughly 10 people were wounded or injured any victim update there yeah the victims uh were taken to [00:12:56] Speaker 6: two separate hospitals one hospital in odessa and one hospital in midland uh we know that one was killed or pronounced dead at the scene of the 10 taken to the hospital in one hospital uh five have been discharged four uh went to the operating room three are out of the or according to the hospital and one remains inside of the or this is a community reeling take a listen to what the mayor had to say about a community and shock and really coming to terms with this tragedy there's a lot more strain and stress and [00:13:31] Speaker 7: sorrow for our community on the other side of this i would really ask midlanders to pray for the families of those who've been impacted for the victims themselves for the family of the one who is a confirmed deceased [00:13:45] Speaker 6: and those prayers as the investigation is ongoing including the texas state rangers as well as the [00:13:51] Speaker 1: fbi tom all right erin mclaughlin thank you very much iran's top diplomat says a deal with the u.s to end the war has quoting here never been closer iranian state media quotes the foreign minister as saying the two sides have reached an understanding on most issues that comes after just hours after the u.s shot down two iranian drones it says we're trying to target ships in the strait of hormuz that according to u.s officials as for the details of a deal a senior administration official says the possible points could include that iran's nuclear material will be destroyed and removed and that its nuclear program will be dismantled also that the strait of hormuz will be reopened and that iran will not fund any terrorist groups but a word of caution here it's the u.s who says that iran has agreed to all of those points iran has not confirmed that yet sources familiar with these talks also tell our team that iran's supreme leader has yet to sign off on any agreement the other wild card israel iran's foreign ministry is saying that a deal will include a ceasefire on all fronts that would include lebanon but israel's defense minister says israel must retain its ability to act independently against iran in the future we want to bring in nbc's matt bradley who's watching it all from his post in doha qatar uh and matt the president has said the u.s is close on deals many times over the last few days weeks months is there any indication now that this deal could actually [00:15:17] Speaker 8: make it to the finish line yeah i mean that's right tom so many false starts so many disappointments this does look like the closest we've seen since the last ceasefire which didn't really hold up though we have to say tom that when we talk about this previous ceasefire it's still going on there are still skirmishes but technically that ceasefire still lives uh and now we're hearing from iran's parliament speaker who is also the head of iran's delegation to negotiate the end of this fighting and he gave a rather cryptic comment just today saying commitments made must be commitments kept no ifs no buts no excuses sounds like an american talking but this is you know again kind of a strange thing to say but as we heard from the senior administration officials on the u.s side there is an enormous amount of distrust and just today ever since we heard president trump saying that he was going to delay or suspend any of this huge attack on uh harag island that he said he was planning and a massive set of airstrikes on iran to punish them well ever since we've been hearing all sorts of different things about what this potential deal would include one of the only kind of strings that connects all of these different statements from the israelis from the iranians the pakistanis everybody is don't believe the hype everybody is furious at all of the leaks and all of the hearsay and that's why we heard from pakistan's prime minister saying incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal basically stop talking and wait for the final [00:16:53] Speaker 1: deal uh matt while you're there in qatar we just also heard from the israeli leadership that we're and we're waiting to see how a possible deal by between the us and iran could change the calculus for israel as well reminding the audience that of course israel is involved in action in lebanon against hezbollah and hezbollah of course is very close to iran that's right that's one of the main [00:17:17] Speaker 8: sticking points and in fact that was one of the main barriers to even starting these negotiations and not just for this round but for the first time around now we heard again from the iranian uh one of the iranian top officials basically saying uh what they have been saying this entire time which is that any deal between the us and israel on one side and iran on the other would have to include lebanon and that is what we heard this time the israelis are pushing back and saying no but tom the israelis have not been part of these negotiations even though they were a part of that initial assault on iran back on february 28th so we heard from israel katz he's the defense minister and he said that israel will not withdraw from the security zones in lebanon syria and gaza the idf will continue to defend our borders that looks like there's still a major disagreement around that very central issue [00:18:09] Speaker 1: tom matt bradley and qatar matt thank you very much uh the pentagon here at home has released yet another batch of proposed ufo videos including eyewitness footage of strange encounters like this one here two bright red orbs or so in the sky captured by someone on their phone only a few years back and here an eyewitness sent the fbi a video of intense bright lights in their backyard just last year and now take a look at this somebody caught what they described as a plasma like sphere hovering over a pond this is the third round of the trump administration's ufo file release typically on a friday containing documents and videos of ufos also called uaps by the way they have been hidden from the public for years and now for all you alien geeks out there myself included these new files don't appear to contain any definitive proof of life beyond our planet but it does show that the government investigated possible ufo sightings not just in the us but around the world the pentagon writing quote the materials archived here are unresolved cases meaning the government is unable to make a determination on the nature of the observed phenomenon so let's bring in mbc's courtney cubie who covers the pentagon all right court um there's at least one file here you got a smile on your face all right you and i [00:19:29] Speaker 9: always smile when i talk about ufos i can't help myself i know both of us all right but there's at least [00:19:34] Speaker 1: one file here it's going to raise a few eyebrows right about people really thinking that the government's [00:19:39] Speaker 9: been covering up something yeah so it talks about the possibility of some files that were destroyed and so i think this might get some of the conspiracy theorists really going here it deals with this man 19 in 1958 who was a cia officer who uh he wrote in a memo uh that they were unable to resolve some issues with one of his colleagues another officer there uh about some kind of space transmissions that they had the man who wrote the other that uh here you can see there on the screen this is one of the the cool things about these documents by the way people have a chance to check them out is these old you know decades old documents anyway he says in this his name is rpb lowman he's a cia official uh we cannot resolve his problems concerning the space messages and its transmitter because records on this matter have been destroyed by the evaluating agency what he's talking about is this man named dr leon davidson he was somebody who was involved in the atomic bomb program and later went on to investigate ufo sightings and the possibility of ufos and as you can see there he writes that some of the documents some of the information was destroyed but one of the the challenges with these document and file dumps from the pentagon is they're putting the information out there relatively raw oftentimes redacted but relatively raw without any kind of conclusions ever drawn and oftentimes without any follow-up so we see something like that and we have no idea what that's referring to and by the way 1958 right that that is [00:20:59] Speaker 1: about the time of sputnik i'd have to go back and look but the russians were trying to put sputnik up at about that time we had no presence in space yet at that time so who's sending space messages and how do we receive them i don't know listen so no clear evidence yet of any i mean you and i may think we know aliens on here on on planet earth but there's no clear evidence of them neil degrasse tyson one time made a point to me in fact just about a month ago he said you know there are one and a half billion iphones out there one and a half billion and the best video we get are these fuzzy hazy blobs of of some light there you know he said you would think by now that if there was truly if there were aliens out there we'd be seeing better video or images than that and what's remarkable is [00:21:42] Speaker 9: this is some of the clearest video we have seen right to date and that's because some of the videos in this latest release are um they're more recent so they're shot on iphones like this one here this was one of the the coolest ones of the the release that i saw today because this was actually taken by a couple they had just gotten home and they saw these two red orbs in their backyard and they said they believe they were only about 25 feet off the ground they recorded them for some time uh the the one of the the individuals describing the light as brilliant and beautiful and saying it was a color red that they've never seen before that was another thing i was struck by by this latest release is that there were a number of different videos and um and memos here that talked about red lights which normally we hear about white lights so that was another thing that was a little bit different and maybe that's [00:22:27] Speaker 1: because of the iphones right and by the way a ufo doesn't mean an alien yes it just means it's [00:22:32] Speaker 9: unidentified right absolutely that's and that's what the the pentagon release is really showing here there's a lot of unidentified things right it doesn't mean that they're aliens no but we think they are well we're gonna keep i'll keep reading the documents and see if there's anything that by the [00:22:45] Speaker 1: way it it is a great read you can go online and read it it's a great read and uh fascinating to look back in history thank you thank you appreciate it courtney cubby all right county down now to the kickoff with team usa set to take the field in just a few hours for its first match of the world cup and the first on u.s turf thousands of fans are pouring into sofi stadium in los angeles where the u.s will take on paraguay but before that they'll get to see a star-studded opening ceremony with key performances from katy perry future and others and this unlikely political pair secretary of state marco rubio and california governor gavin newsom both part of the opening delegation representing the country president trump will be at the finals next month but he called the team last night to wish them luck and even if you aren't there in la tonight look at these celebrations across north america toronto boston right there la of course our team got to sit down with some of team usa stars to hear what this all [00:23:45] Speaker 10: means to them it feels natural representing the u.s being back here now having a world cup on home soil [00:23:52] Speaker 11: it's uh it really is something special for us we skipped out on going to high school to pursue our dream which ultimately brought us here whenever you see uh kids walking around with your jersey on it or with [00:24:03] Speaker 12: your team's jersey on it it definitely it's something it's a feeling that you can't really describe [00:24:11] Speaker 13: all right let's get out to mbc's morgan is officially upon us i'm hearing chants of ole ole ole mixed with usa usa usa usa right here in front of sofi stadium where really in just a few hours time we're going to see upwards of 70 000 fans packing the stadium cheering on team usa as they kick off their world cup tour against paraguay and i have to tell you once every four years this is such a moment in time in so many people's lives that they're almost calling it you know their christmas and and then some and i want to hear from some of the fans i've had a chance to speak to just about the anticipation [00:24:49] Speaker 14: building up to tonight's big game we've been talking about this for a long time and she's about tired of me talking about it so the last four years have been waiting for this moment they have [00:24:59] Speaker 15: to win the group otherwise they don't have a chance they have they have they have to win the group because if they go second they're going to face argentina you don't want to face argentina in the in the next round [00:25:13] Speaker 13: i don't want to face argentina i don't think anyone wants to face argentina i had a chance to speak to a couple tom who came here from colorado springs i said how much was your ticket two thousand bucks a pop zero regrets totally worth it though to be here in the building tonight to watch this u.s men's national team that's i'm already calling the most talented squad to ever compete in a world cup tom uh you [00:25:40] Speaker 1: gotta love football to dish out that kind of money morgan chesky thanks very much and of course the the fifa world cup 2026 is here you can watch every match fifa you can call us soccer football whatever every moment live in spanish on telemundo and peacock you don't need to speak spanish to get the gist of it it's an awful lot of fun uh coming up a woman rescued after being trapped for three days how she was finally pulled to safety but first some passengers without tickets tried to hitch a ride on a cancun flight we've got the buzz on this video we're coming back we're back and we're getting a look at a new video of a rescue in minnesota that sounds like it's straight out of an action movie take a look two men saving a woman who is trapped in the mud kind of like quicksand there they are surrounding her turns out she had been missing for three days take a listen to them describe the moment that they found her we could see that there was a body [00:26:49] Speaker 16: in the puddle next to the van and then that's when it got real when we walked up we we thought she was dead uh we thought it was just a body and then she whispered help me oh boy so the men say it took [00:27:04] Speaker 1: about an hour and a half to get her out paramedics then took her to the hospital where we're told she's doing that well now nbc steven romo joins us now steve it seems like serendipity played a role in this kind of wild rescue story right how did this woman manage to get stuck in the mud for three days and [00:27:22] Speaker 17: how did they find her yeah tom called serendipity divine providence or just old-fashioned good luck so this pair of guys adam sandbeck and mike gravelen they were off-roading in north central minnesota last weekend which they do pretty often and they had a route that they typically took but they just happened to decide to go a different way that is when they came across this minivan which is clearly not equipped for off-roading and as they got closer they ended up seeing what you hear them from there say they thought was a body a woman covered in mud up to her face they say she whispered for help that's when they got to work trying to get her out they spoke with our nbc affiliate care 11 about that harrowing encounter [00:28:07] Speaker 16: we ain't heroes we're just two guys but i have no doubt the hand of god [00:28:13] Speaker 17: was there guiding us yeah gives you goosebumps to think about if they had ended up going their normal route she might not have been saved so that's 68 year old katherine wessner you mentioned there missing for three days it took them a little less than 90 minutes to get her out then they called authorities who took her to the hospital and adam sandbeck the man on the left has talked to her since then and said she is strong and determined wessner told authorities she got out of her van and got stuck immediately she says that it felt just like quicksand but incredible this story of survival and those two men in the right place at the right time tom well i mean listen they they're the ones who got her out [00:28:55] Speaker 1: right they didn't wait for fire rescue they got her out so i think they are heroes that's an amazing [00:28:59] Speaker 17: story and then they called 911 to get more help so impressive stuff it really is stephen romo thank [00:29:06] Speaker 1: you very much all right over now to the five things our team thinks you may want to know about on this friday number one a federal judge has indefinitely blocked president trump's self-described anti-weaponization fund the judge is also giving the administration a week to swear under oath that it will drop the plan as you know mr trump proposed the nearly two billion dollar fund to pay those who quote suffered weaponization and lawfare he says by the biden administration meaning that the money could have gone to people charged for their actions during the january 6th attack on the capitol number two the doj has officially signed off on paramount skydance's acquisition of warner brothers that according to a person familiar with the matter to nbc news and the move basically green lights now the merger between two major hollywood studios remember thousands in hollywood have protested the deal arguing that led to fewer jobs higher costs and fewer choices for audiences a spokesperson for paramount skydance did not immediately respond to a request for comment number three the king of spain swooped in to help the pope pope leo to get him back to italy today a technical issue really kind of popped up right as he boarded the papal plane so everybody had to get back off the plane king philippe then offered up his private jet quite a way to wrap up that historic trip to spain the pope now on his way back to rome number four new body cam video shows police rescuing several people from a raging apartment fire in utah here's the moment one officer experienced a very close call hey you guys your units on fire you [00:30:42] Speaker 8: need to get out run run [00:30:49] Speaker 1: wow well that collapsed there almost knocked down the officer eight officers were traded for smoke inhalation thankfully everybody made it out safely number five check this out a whole bunch of bees caused quite a buzz at cancun's airport you can see that swarm hanging off a united airlines wing right before the plane was set to depart they called on a beekeeper caused a short delay but fortunately nobody was stung and no bees got inside the plane coming up the ufc is heading to the white house this weekend but president trump isn't the only commander in chief who likes wrestling we're going to look at a presidential fight club that stretches all the way back to george washington and the dramatic rescue all caught on video how crews saved writers trapped more than a hundred feet up in the air at an amusement park in missouri we're coming back we're back in just the last few hours the federal judge has issued a ruling that will allow a major ufc fight to move forward on the white house lawn the freedom 250 fight is set for sunday and as we've reported two virginia residents tried to block the event from happening altogether due to all of the road closures it is expected to cause here in the dc area plus the scale of the event kind of hard to ignore here still the size of the fight nothing new for president trump who has a long track record of hosting this kind of function and beyond the spectacle fighting really is deeply rooted in american presidential history our gary grumbach reports in tonight's breakdown [00:32:37] Speaker 18: a fight on white house grounds like something out of a movie or from the world of wwe [00:32:47] Speaker 19: sparking controversy from the courts to cable news this is fundamentally the private profiteering of our [00:32:54] Speaker 18: national monuments a president who rarely backs down from a fight bringing one to the south lot of the white house but for all the uproar fighting in many ways is deeply rooted in american history our leaders have gone toe-to-toe with their competition for nearly 250 years not just on [00:33:10] Speaker 20: the debate stage you cut permits and licenses on federal land and federal waters in half not true governor [00:33:16] Speaker 18: robin but on the mat 13 former presidents were wrestlers including dwight eisenhower and william howard taft even george washington was known to grapple according to the national wrestling hall of fame and a young abraham lincoln is also said to have been victorious in hundreds of matches in his day [00:33:32] Speaker 21: there's only one recorded instance in which lincoln lost a wrestling match that's the kind of a president you want and teddy roosevelt as a president he learned jujitsu and actually threw a senator onto the ground i'm sure other presidents would have liked to do that themselves but americans [00:33:50] Speaker 18: have never seen anything quite like this sunday's ufc fight is set with up to 5 000 members of the military administration officials and trump allies expected to be in attendance so how did ufc go from [00:34:03] Speaker 22: this one there are no rules that is brutal prompting in-depth critical coverage but one man's entertainment [00:34:11] Speaker 23: is another man's carnage and even congressional condemnation i'd like to put the ultimate fighting [00:34:17] Speaker 18: championships out of business to this it's thanks in part to a casino owner who welcomed the then flailing sport into his venue in 2001 a guy by the name of donald trump the spectacular trump taj mahal home [00:34:31] Speaker 24: tonight to the world's most prestigious mixed martial arts event he always seemed to be a fan [00:34:37] Speaker 25: of the sport thanks to the donald for hosting another great ultimate fighting championship he was there [00:34:42] Speaker 18: he was sitting in the front row well i'm a fan and i'm becoming more of a fan trump's involvement the start of a decades-long relationship with ufc ceo dana white i'm in the tough guy business and [00:34:53] Speaker 26: this man is the toughest most resilient human being that i've ever met in my life a sport built on [00:35:00] Speaker 27: physicality 18 to 34 year old males love this stuff it is fast-paced it is entertaining it is brutal [00:35:07] Speaker 18: with a president who enjoys a good fight now coming to the people's house gary grumbach nbc news washington [00:35:20] Speaker 1: nbc covers hundreds of stories each day who can possibly read watch or listen to all of them well you're in luck our bureau teams have selected some highlights and this is what they tell us is going down in the regions we call this the local from our western bureau that massive northern california warehouse fire that we told you about yesterday it's still smoldering investigators are looking into why the sprinkler system failed the one million square foot large facility held medical supplies nobody injured uh fire commanders say high winds and high temps made their efforts very difficult from our midwest bureau look at this four people trapped on a swing ride at six flags in st louis dangling more than 100 feet in the air after the ride malfunction they were hung up there for at least two hours rescue teams used a crane to get them down thankfully everybody is safe from our northeast bureau people in one massachusetts neighborhood are stopping at a different kind of drive-through there he is driver the golden retriever is dishing out smooches for free through his kissing window his owner says the goal is to put a smile on everybody's face but just remember to only give him one treat because he's watching his figure coming up the nba finals could come to a dramatic game this weekend how san antonio is prepping for whatever happens plus the nhl was shocked by the sudden death of a legendary player but the loss could help shed light on the lasting impacts of head injuries in hockey okay right now san antonio is gearing up for what could be the last game of the nba finals with game five of the knicks versus the spurs uh tomorrow night in texas the knicks are just one win away from taking the series of course and if you'll be there expect to see a lot more police because of scenes like this in new york people climbing street signs flipping taxis after the big knicks win on wednesday the bexar county sheriff's department it says it is going to be it's going above and beyond to keep everybody safe that means more drone units officers on the ground on horseback as well deputies will also escort nicks players and their families between the hotel and the arena to avoid a repeat of this a near miss for spur star wemby who was almost hit with an egg thrown at him as the team walked back to their hotel this week mbc's own jesse kirsch got to catch up with some players today including nick star jalen brunson i think regardless of what happened um our mindset would [00:37:59] Speaker 28: have been zero zero today and um coming into to we're going into tomorrow um just focusing what we gotta do to be better um seeing where we lacked and seeing what the things that we did well [00:38:12] Speaker 1: how we can improve on that so let's get to jesse live now in san antonio jesse you spoke to some players how are the spurs feeling uh right now and they're hoping to keep hope alive right [00:38:25] Speaker 29: yeah it's make or break for them tomorrow night tom they have to win here at home otherwise their season ends the knicks are champions and kelden johnson from the spurs tells me the team is well aware of this here's part of our conversation [00:38:39] Speaker 30: what's the energy like in the locker room right now um it's great i mean we we got we stay with the belief um we have faith that that you know we take it one game at a time we definitely love being for our fans we love being at home and putting on the show for for san antonio we have the best fans in the nba so we know they're gonna come in and turn up and and have fun um but it's definitely a crucial game is when to go home and uh you know what other way to be in front of our fans uh back [00:39:03] Speaker 29: against the wall ready to go i also asked him about the unruly knicks fans in new york he said [00:39:10] Speaker 1: that behavior does not impact them tom yeah listen i just looked up the temp because you look warm it's 91 degrees where you are so uh get cool when you can but listen the knicks are just one win away from their first championship in over 50 years so how is jalen brunson looking at this game going in [00:39:28] Speaker 29: he says that he looks at this as zero zero some of the knicks fans are already declaring victory of course they just had that historic comeback but when you talk to jalen brunson he says this is still anyone serious to take a hold of here is part of our conversation some of your fans look at this [00:39:44] Speaker 31: is already wrapped up how do you tune that out and stay focused yeah it's been um it's in the process [00:39:50] Speaker 28: but i think uh as a team you have to hold each other accountable uh you know whatever's being said positive or negative you can't really think about worry about too much try your best not to listen and see those things never want to be disrespectful and um obviously throwing stuff and saying things that are um obviously not a part of the game uh is considered disrespectful so um obviously i love our [00:40:13] Speaker 29: fans but we got to be better that's part of our conversation there him also talking about uh unruly behavior from fans and one of the things that really sticks out to me tom we talked about you know some of the negative things that fans have been doing but also just the joy and the elation that i've actually seen firsthand having just been home visiting family in new york last week it is electric in the city right now i asked jalen brunson if he's been able to soak up any of that even just for a second in the middle of this and he said he has not he is laser focused on getting the job done tom yeah i like [00:40:44] Speaker 1: his message though be respectful uh jesse kirsch thanks very much to our original now in-depth reporting on a topic that we've been watching closely the nhl could be raising the stanley cup this weekend but the entire league hockey fans and retired players are still coming to grips with a sudden loss of a legend claude lemieux his death by suicide two weeks ago sent shock waves through that sport and now that loss may help shine a light on the potential lasting impacts of head injuries in hockey mbc news medical reporter dr extra l explains four-time stanley cup champion claude lemieux returning [00:41:21] Speaker 32: to montreal seemingly on top of the world revered by the crowd as he literally and emotionally lit up a stadium which is four days later shock lemieux's family confirming his death by suicide at 60 years old tributes flooding in from the hockey community but less covered an announcement from the family that they'd be donating lemieux's brain to the boston university cte center as a quote gift to science and the future generations of families seeking answers emphasizing no conclusions should be drawn regarding any diagnosis [00:41:52] Speaker 33: it's the thousands of impacts over a an athletic career dr jesse mess is one of the lead researchers at the center just about everybody who we have found cte in their brain uh has had a history of exposure to repetitive head impacts from contact sports occasionally from military service he helped publish the largest [00:42:13] Speaker 32: ever study for deceased male ice hockey players in december 2024 in it finding the odds of having cte increased by 34 percent each year played in the united states cte is often tied to football high-profile suicides a hollywood movie and years of the nfl updating concussion protocols we broaden the definition of concussion but mezz stresses that there's a risk from any contact sport and now hockey players are [00:42:37] Speaker 34: increasingly under the microscope when you look at a football player's brain versus a hockey player's brain under the microscope what differences do you see we we did not see very noticeable differences [00:42:47] Speaker 35: probably my first bad concussion would have been my first game in the um in the minor leagues [00:42:53] Speaker 32: i pretty much got probably one a year after that jamie huscroft played almost 400 nhl games over 10 years known as an enforcer he estimates he had at least 14 concussions over his life on the ice probably fought [00:43:05] Speaker 35: guys above my weight class um did i know it was dangerous absolutely but you know i i i did it it was a different era when he played we knew concussions weren't good we just didn't know [00:43:18] Speaker 32: the severity now huscroft raises awareness about concussions talking to coaches athletic trainers [00:43:23] Speaker 35: and players at all levels they do a really good job of making sure that the kids self-report and they'll even have the teammates report sometimes i can fool you but when i'm talking to my teammates and my peers [00:43:39] Speaker 32: they'll notice huscroft credits the nhl with making positive rule changes and leveling fines for intentional acts while concussions can be diagnosed cte can't be until after death but researchers are working on finding biomarkers similar to how doctors are now able to diagnose alzheimer's disease for [00:43:55] Speaker 33: many many years we would diagnose these other neurodegenerative diseases in life without that biomarker and i think we should be moving towards that with with cte too that would be done with [00:44:05] Speaker 32: recognizing symptoms like cognitive impairment and behavioral and mood changes a challenge since they can overlap with so many medical issues and huscroft says there's still a stigma about talking about [00:44:15] Speaker 35: them i think guys pretty much they um they just separate from the team right out of pride claude [00:44:21] Speaker 32: lemieux was a long-time advisor for carolina hurricanes goalie frederick anderson now battling to host the stanley cup speaking of lemieux after a recent game he saw them a competitor but he's the he's got the biggest heart but now it's lemieux's brain that could have an impact on the game for years [00:44:35] Speaker 1: to come dr akshay sile nbc news actually thank you very much if you or anybody you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide call or text home to nine eight eight you can also contact the crisis text line at seven four one seven four one still ahead of the big move by one of the biggest names and content for children how coco melon is working to shed its reputation as crack for kids okay big news in the world of kids programming coco melon you might have heard of it if not your kids probably have we're talking about a bunch of the shows that millions of young children watch well this week the company that makes the preschool series announced it will start using childhood development research across the portfolio a move that could cause a ripple effect for children's programming in this new digital first world nbc's yasmin vasugian has more [00:45:37] Speaker 36: the sound that captivates millions of children from tablets to tv screens coco melon is one of the most most of the most of the most of the most of the most watched children shows generating billions of views since it hit the scene in 2006. but some give it a bad rap for its bright colors and fast pacing [00:45:54] Speaker 37: even acquiring the unbecoming nickname crack for kids many parents swear it off altogether so i banned coco melon in my house it is hyper stimulating it causes addiction the studio that acquired the preschool [00:46:09] Speaker 36: phenomenon about six years ago moonbug entertainment is now making a big change partnering with ucla's center for scholars and storytellers to bring childhood developmental research directly into its content [00:46:24] Speaker 38: after so many years my question is why now since day one we've always implemented child development consultant process and we wanted to be just a little bit more intentional and transparent about how we underpin those experience with you know just a deeper and greater child development insights the move [00:46:45] Speaker 36: comes as kids spend more time watching online content and parents question what quality screen time should look like responding to my question about all the criticism the company says its songs and shows [00:46:57] Speaker 38: are just one tool to help caregivers we definitely want kids of you know families to find that balance you know time away from screen obviously you know either outside and playing interacting with other kids the [00:47:10] Speaker 36: center that moonbug commissioned analyzed hours of programming and reviewed decades of data the content [00:47:17] Speaker 39: of data was just one of the things that we want to do that we want kids to do that work four new key [00:47:26] Speaker 36: learning principles the company says will be fundamental in its storytelling moving forward who does your dental work decades ago shows that kids watched on tv didn't always have a lesson plan early cartoons from popeye to looney tunes filled with chaos and violence my neighbor then a different approach emerged shows like mr rogers neighborhood and sesame street brought experts into the creative process that model helped shape generations but kids are growing up in a different media landscape in a 2025 pew research survey 85 percent of parents say their children watch videos on youtube about half of them on a daily basis unlike traditional television the barrier to entry is low anyone can create bots on the platform work to remove content not suitable for kids but even the company admits quote no automated system is perfect now artificial intelligence makes it even harder to know what to watch we can choose to optimize for child development or we could choose to optimize reviews an issue creators like dave peth are working to solve ai as an image [00:48:39] Speaker 40: generating or a video generating tool has made it even easier to create content that looks professional [00:48:47] Speaker 36: but it's sort of skin deep moonbug believes its new principles can serve as a roadmap for what age [00:48:54] Speaker 38: appropriate content should look like we're really encouraging curiosity a very young age the whole point [00:49:00] Speaker 41: of our collaboration is to minimize negative impact and maximize positive impact as the screens change the [00:49:09] Speaker 36: goal isn't just finding something to watch it's finding something worth watching yasmin vasugian nbc news [00:49:17] Speaker 1: that is a wrap for us at this hour but thanks for watching you can see hallie jackson this sunday on weekend nightly news this is hallie jackson now on nbc news now there's a lot happening we're coming on the air with 65 million people under the threat of severe storms at this hour with damaging winds set to slam the northeast after more than a dozen tornadoes carved a devastating path through the midwest we've got team coverage on that where this dangerous storm and the system is headed next and the new details on a deadly shooting in texas where gunmen opened fire and killed one person more than 10 injured what police now say about the intense standoff that lasted for hours and then the roaring stock market today after spacex made that historic stock market debut its founder elon musk now the world's first trillionaire what it all means for the future of the ai investment race and maybe for your own personal investments plus the stunning new video of some strange scenes in the skies the pentagon just dropped its third batch of ufo files so are we any closer to learning whether aliens might actually already be out there or maybe they live next door we're just also hours away from team usa's big debt make that a debut big debut on the world cup so will the u.s finally rewrite a legacy of inferior inferiority he tried to say in international soccer that's later in the newscast it is friday right good for that top of the hour i'm tom costello in for halley and right now about 63 million people from tennessee to new hampshire are under the threat of severe storms as dangerous conditions like high winds to possible power outages sweep across the northeast tonight multiple people were injured after more than a dozen reported tornadoes battered the midwest overnight take a look at the extent of the damage some houses they're just looking almost unrecognizable in illinois debris scattered everywhere and it didn't just hit illinois hard hurricane force winds tore through indiana pennsylvania wisconsin iowa at least one child was injured in michigan after a tree fell on a house causing the roof to collapse we're told that little girl is okay but the winds also downed power lines hundreds of thousands of people are without power right now similar conditions in the midwest expected to worsen with more storms on the way through the weekend so we have team coverage on this our meteorologist bill karen standing by we start though with nbc's maggie vespa who's in illinois maggie hard hit there and it's been pretty shocking the images that you've been sending back and the weather has been extreme [00:52:16] Speaker 3: right how are the folks there coping tom tom they're stunned like they can't really process yet what's happened to them case in point i want to show you we were at a different house at five o'clock now we're behind what's left of sherry bogan's house a woman who yesterday when the tornado was roaring this way she was asleep on that pink bed here in the foreground she was taking a nap look at the wall leaning on that imagine if she had still been there when the tornado came through thankfully she wasn't because her son was in st louis he saw the forecast that he called woke her up said mama tornado's heading right for you take cover she runs through the house into the bathroom behind that mint green wall and cowers in the tub that is the only part of her home that is still standing after that tornado came through miraculous but that's the case that she survived and she just can't believe what she lived [00:53:09] Speaker 42: through here's part of our conversation i could hear ripping metal and stuff stuff we didn't hear the first time so i knew it was devastating ripping metal that's weird to sound like metal being crunched up and that was evidently my furnace and everything just getting ripped out of the wall you were protected 100 if you don't believe in god you go through this you would [00:53:39] Speaker 3: unbelievable to have that conversation with her and tom we're hearing so many stories like it when you look at the video of the tornadoes that were through across the midwest yesterday it's not hard to believe like it makes you believe and understand why damage looks like this 21 reported tornadoes across illinois indiana wisconsin uh the damage is widespread 500 000 people without power uh lots of injuries four injuries in this area alone but thankfully tom no fatalities thanks to quick thinking like we saw from [00:54:08] Speaker 1: sherry here yeah that's amazing it always seems to be these small towns that take the brunt of it maggie thank you uh let's bring in bill karen's who's a meteorologist on duty as always bill the weather is looking i guess not that great for the weekend for a lot of folks right yeah it just depends where you [00:54:23] Speaker 5: are and it's going to be changeable too fast moving weather pattern we're already seeing numerous severe thunderstorms in areas and mostly virginia is getting the hardest hit south of washington dc and back towards roanoke we do have a few strong storms that are going to try to roll through new york city in about the next hour so washington dc it looks like the worst of it has stayed to your south severe thunderstorm watch continues for the richmond area until nine o'clock same for central jersey charlottesville you're gonna have some pretty big storms coming through shortly north of richmond you got a pretty good storm notice that dc area is looking pretty clear roanoke is under a severe thunderstorm warning you're gonna have some strong gusty winds going through new york city is good for now there's one strong thunderstorm right along the new jersey new york border that's going to try to come down here towards northern portions of the bronx into the southern westchester counties that's probably the strongest storm on the map tomorrow we turn our attention back to the central plains kansas city tulsa springfield oklahoma city damaging wind isolated areas of some large hail maybe a few tornadoes and then sunday another threat in the same areas as today from richmond the dc all the way back up to the capital district so here's how your weekend forecast shapes up and for anyone in the west this is really your first significant heat wave to 98 degrees in areas around medford portland is under an excessive heat warning for the weekend not everyone has air conditioning in the pacific northwest so it's always a problem when we have like three or four hot days in a row and on sunday near record heat continues there so uh there is some good news though tom for the east coast the great lakes by the time we get to early next week uh refreshing much less humid air mass comes in we'll be done with whatever this mess we have out there now is okay so that's when we love canada maybe not in the winter [00:55:58] Speaker 1: but in the summer we love canada right send us your cool fresh air that's right bill karen thanks very much all right wall street end of the week in the green after spacex spacex made that historic stock market debut officially making its founder elon musk the world's first trillionaire with a t so you have the three major indices today rising at the close the dow up 350 points about three quarters of a percent there the s p and the nasdaq also ended higher today and that reaction in part after spacex raised 75 billion dollars and what is the largest ipo initial public offering ever but the implications here go far beyond that opening trade for years spacex was really only accessible to venture capital firms institutional investors and a small group of private shareholders shareholders and now ordinary investors can also get in on it in some cases whether they want to or not because spacex is going to end up in index funds made up of a lot of public companies right so your retirement fund may soon include some spacex stock and when people buy stock in spacex they're also investing in elon musk and his leadership he is the company's controlling shareholder he's already the richest person in the world and this ipo makes him again the world's first trillionaire to put that into perspective it would take the average u.s household almost 12 million years to make that much money let's bring in nbc's brian chung for more on this brian you and i are not about to begin that 12 million year effort but uh listen being included in some of the top indexes or indices is a big ask right that usually takes a while after the company goes public because the stock is kind of volatile at the beginning i learned from my days at cnbc so what might spacex have done to get in yeah and look i think that there are a lot of questions [00:57:49] Speaker 2: for people that are outside of the day trading uh you know atmosphere wanted to get into spacex with their own money in the robin hood account or in a brokerage account because they're saying well if i have a 401k and we're talking about the largest initial public offering in history how could i not be exposed to this and it is indeed the case that let's say for example you have a 401k you might have money in a in a index fund like for example the s p 500 in the form of a spy or voo that's the vanguard s p 500 index well then yes you would have exposure to any of these massive large companies tesla is another one you might already have exposure to elon musk i should point out these index funds take a little bit of time to add companies to their indexes while some might add them in the coming days or weeks with the s p 500 for example which is what we commonly look at in terms of how the stock market is doing it could be a yearly review where they might not even decide for a year or two to add spacex so it is a process but tom i think if you just take a step back you cannot argue that there has not been a transformation done to the capital markets spacex is now immediately a top 10 company and that's going to have implications for anyone invested yeah it really is astonishing and [00:58:55] Speaker 1: listen this ai race because spacex is really viewed as as an ai play here right in addition to being the space player it's an ai play and it's really heating up between uh spacex and other players here so could spacex kind of set the benchmark for others yeah well look i mean there are a uh two large companies in [00:59:14] Speaker 2: the wings that you might have heard of open ai and anthropic that are waiting in the wings about to do their own initial public offerings as well they won't be as big as uh as spacex when you consider that open ai is expected to have an 850 billion valuation anthropic and 960 billion valuation of course that is estimates as of now if they go public and we see a pop like we did with spacex today that could easily propel them past the one trillion dollar mark but you see what's going on with spacex they are a direct competitor i know people might be thinking how is it that elon musk rockets to mars are competing with open ai and anthropic remember xai which is elon musk ai company was folded into spacex prior to this ipo so when people invest in that they're also investing in elon's ai venture as well but tesla [00:59:58] Speaker 1: remains a separate company altogether for now it does for now that's right ooh there's a cliffhanger brian chung thanks very much all right we're following the aftermath of a deadly shooting in midland texas today where gunmen opened fire and killed one person ton others were injured and the mayor there says the shooter is dead video from the scene shows police officers crouched down behind the cars there as gunshots rang out here's when that broke out so this went on for a while police say the shooter barricaded himself inside an abandoned veterinary clinic building and was found dead after a standoff with officers a swat team more than a hundred officers moved in as this all unfolded over several hours aaron mclaughlin is watching all of this for us and aaron uh what are police telling us about what this suspect's identity is and what his his [01:01:01] Speaker 6: immediate criminal history may have been yeah the suspect tom has been identified as 45 year old victor mata villa real they say that he was a fugitive wanted on charges of attempted capital murder following a shootout that ensued on wednesday between villa real and police and then this uh this shooting that took place today unfolded at about 8 a.m in the morning that's when police dispatch received the call of an active shooter in this industrial park in midland in an industrial area between downtown midland and uh this the south of the city uh police say they responded to the calls and villa real barricaded himself inside of an abandoned veterinary clinic shots were fired harrowing video shot by eyewitnesses shows uh bystanders innocent bystanders crouched in cars crouched in buildings absolutely terrified as you can hearly clear in the audio clearly here in the audio shots ringing out in the distance in the end there were uh 11 one shot dead 11 injured taken to local hospitals tom and what [01:02:20] Speaker 1: are you hearing about their conditions right now if anything yeah well they were taken to two separate [01:02:26] Speaker 6: hospitals one there in midland and the other hospital in nearby odessa of the 10 that were hospitalized we're hearing in midland five were discharged four were taken to an operating room and three we hear out of the or one remains in the operating room that's the last we heard from the hospital okay aaron thank you [01:02:48] Speaker 1: very much iran's top diplomat says a deal with the u.s to end the war has quoting here never been closer iranian state media quotes the foreign minister are saying the two sides have reached an understanding on quote most issues the news comes just hours after the u.s shot down two iranian drones that it says were trying to target ships in the strait of hormuz that according to a u.s official as for the details of a deal a senior administration official says the possible points could include that iran's nuclear material will be destroyed and removed and that its nuclear program will be dismantled also that the strait of hormuz will reopen and that iran will not fund any terrorist groups but a word of caution here it's the u.s who says that iran has agreed to all of those points iran has not confirmed that sources familiar with the talks also tell our team that iran's supreme leader has yet to sign off on any agreement and the other wild card here is israel of course iran's foreign minister says a deal will include a ceasefire on all fronts that includes lebanon but israel's defense minister says israel must retain its ability to act independently against iran in the future let's bring in mbc's matt bradley in doha qatar you know a couple of um moving pieces here matt or a lot of them i should say but what more do we know about what actually could be in this deal how solid does it feel to you what what is your read from from the region [01:04:14] Speaker 8: yeah i mean senior administration officials have been telling nbc that it looks like the main crux of this deal really the main objective is to free up shipping in the strait of hormuz and the idea is that that would happen within the first 30 days it would extend the ceasefire for another 60 days and then the idea is according to the iranians it would kind of kick that question of the nuclear enriched nuclear material and future ambitions for iran to enrich nuclear uranium to bomb grade level it would kind of kick all that down the road it would make that the subject of negotiations that in theory would be going on during that 60 day ceasefire so a lot of the crucial questions the most important ones particularly with regard to what we've heard from the us and israel that wouldn't necessarily be answered at least in the first couple of weeks of this ceasefire and of this new deal in a way this would just maintain some of the status quo which is okay because of course we've been seeing that there has been a ceasefire it hasn't necessarily totally ruptured even though it's been broken by both sides on several occasions most recently just in the past couple of days we've seen it broken three times in the past week so it looks as though this could solidify that but you mentioned there's a big impasse right now still over iranian proxy groups like hezbollah and lebanon where israel is continuing to fight and has really put itself further and further into that country fighting against hezbollah causing massive amounts of death and a huge uh internally displaced people crisis so that is something to [01:05:48] Speaker 1: look for yeah and that's not candidly not getting a lot of attention here in the west um the action in lebanon matt what are you watching for in the hours of the days to come as all parties involved signal that maybe a deal is coming but i'm guessing maybe not on the sabbath in israel which is tomorrow but [01:06:07] Speaker 8: what are you what are you hearing yeah i mean the sabbath is starting this evening in israel and it's going to be going all day tomorrow i don't think we're expecting anything even then what we had been hearing is maybe something within the next couple of days but even that is looking unlikely because the one thing that we're hearing from senior u.s officials is that this still needs the signature of the ayatollah of the leader of iran this is a man who really hasn't been seen ever since his father was killed by us and israeli forces so we don't know when he's going to be giving that approval that is what is necessary and really standing in the way of pushing this deal forward the other thing is of course these skirmishes that are going across in the neighborhood that i am in right now are we still going to see exchanges of fire between iran and the united states across the strait of hormuz and across the gulf that has been going on regularly for months and it hasn't [01:07:03] Speaker 1: necessarily broken that ceasefire but it still could yeah matt bradley right in uh the gulf uh thank you very much matt bradley who's in doha qatar uh the pentagon has released yet another batch of proposed ufo videos including eyewitness footage of strange encounters like this one two bright red orbs up in the sky captured by somebody on their phone just a few weeks back uh years back sorry and here an eyewitness sent the fbi a video of intense bright lights in their backyard last year now watch this somebody caught what they described as a plasma like sphere hovering over a pond and this is the third round of the trump administration's ufo file release kind of always on a friday containing documents and videos of ufos also called uaps by the way that have been hidden from the public for years now for all you alien geeks out there and yeah i'm one of them uh these new files really don't appear to contain any definitive proof of life beyond our planet yet but they do show that the government investigated possible ufo sightings not just in the u.s but around the world so the pentagon writing quote the materials archived here are unresolved cases meaning that the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena let's bring an nbc's courtney cubie here there's at least one file here you got a smile on your face all right you and i always smile when i talk about ufos i can't help myself i know both of us all right but there's at least one file here it's going to raise a few eyebrows right about people really thinking the government's been covering up [01:08:42] Speaker 9: something yeah so it talks about the possibility of some files that were destroyed and so i think this might get some of the conspiracy theorists really going here it deals with this man 19 in 1958 who was a cia officer who uh he wrote in a memo uh that they were unable to resolve some issues with one of his colleagues another officer there uh about some kind of space transmissions that they had the man who wrote the other that uh here you can see it there on the screen this is one of the cool things about these documents by the way people have a chance to check them out as these old you know decades old documents anyway he says in this his name is rpb lowman he's the cia official uh we cannot resolve his problems concerning the space messages and its transmitter because records on this matter have been destroyed by the evaluating agency what he's talking about is this man named dr leon davidson he was somebody who was involved in the atomic bomb program and later went on to investigate ufo sightings and the possibility of ufos and as you can see there he writes that some of the documents some of the information was destroyed but one of the the challenges with these document and file dumps from the pentagon is they're putting the information out there relatively raw oftentimes redacted but relatively raw without any kind of conclusions ever drawn and oftentimes without any follow-up so we see something like that and we have no idea what that's referring to and by the way 1958 right that [01:10:01] Speaker 1: that is about the time of sputnik i'd have to go back and look but the russians were trying to put sputnik up at about that time we had no presence in space yet at that time so who's sending space messages and how do we receive them i don't know listen so no clear evidence yet of any i mean you and i may think we know aliens on here on on planet earth but there's no clear evidence of them neil degrasse tyson one time made a point to me in fact just about a month ago he said you know there are one and a half billion iphones out there one and a half billion and the best video we get are these fuzzy hazy blobs of of some light there you know he said you would think by now that if there was truly if there were aliens out there we'd be seeing better video or images than that and what's [01:10:43] Speaker 9: remarkable is this is some of the clearest video we have seen right to date and that's because some of the videos in this latest release are um they're more recent so they're shot on iphones like this one here this was one of the the coolest ones of the the release that i saw today because this was actually taken by a couple they had just gotten home and they saw these two red orbs in their backyard and they said they believed they were only about 25 feet off the ground they recorded them for some time uh the the one of the the individuals describing the light as brilliant and beautiful and saying it was a color red that they've never seen before that was another thing i was struck by by this latest release is that there were a number of different videos and um and memos here that talked about red lights which normally we hear about white lights so that was another thing that was a little bit different and maybe that's because of the iphones right and by the way a ufo doesn't mean [01:11:33] Speaker 1: an alien yes it just means it's unidentified absolutely that's and that's what the the [01:11:37] Speaker 9: pentagon release is really showing here there's a lot of unidentified things right it doesn't mean that they're aliens no but we think they are well we're gonna keep i'll keep reading the documents [01:11:46] Speaker 1: and see if there's anything that by the way it is a great read you can go online and read it it's a great read and uh fascinating to look back in history thank you thank you appreciate it courtney cubie all right so read up team usa set to take the field in a few hours for its first match of the world cup and the first on u.s turf thousands of fans pouring into sofi stadium in los angeles now where the u.s will take on paraguay but before that they'll get to see a star-studded opening ceremony with performances from katy perry future and others and this unlikely political pair who would have fought secretary of state marco rubio and california governor gavin newsom both part of the opening delegation representing the usa president trump will be at the finals next month but he called the team last night to wish them luck even if you are not there in la tonight take a look at the celebrations across north america from toronto to boston to la and every city in between so our team got to sit down with some of the team usa stars to hear what this all means it feels natural [01:12:50] Speaker 10: representing the u.s being back here now having a world cup on home soil it's uh it really is [01:12:55] Speaker 11: something special for us we skipped out on going to high school to pursue our dream which ultimately [01:13:00] Speaker 12: brought us here whenever you see uh kids walking around with your jersey on it or with your team's jersey on it it definitely it's something it's a feeling that you can't really describe [01:13:13] Speaker 1: all right mbc's morgan chesky is at sofi stadium you are decked out you got the colors going there uh you know the whole country is psyched for this it's amazing how soccer football has just exploded across the country right [01:13:28] Speaker 13: uh tom if i may the whole continent we had a game in mexico city yesterday we have a game in toronto today and then here at sofi stadium we're hours away from 70 000 fans about to be chanting usa usa the excitement is certainly palpable that almost feels like a cliche line uh but it i've had a chance to kind of interact with some of these fans here and they almost mark their life chapters by world cups i spoke to a couple in colorado who said that they saved up and threw down two thousand dollars per ticket so they could be inside this building to watch team usa take on paraguay tonight uh anywhere you look uh particularly at the fan fest yesterday tom just a sea of red green and white as l try the mexican team uh toppled south africa you heard the chants you saw the excitement it's just fun to be here uh i gotta tell you and the fact that people are already streaming into the stadium right now [01:14:26] Speaker 1: uh is a good sign of things to come i have no idea who that guy who just walked past you is uh supporting the guy the guy with the headdress and red white and blue all over him listen there's the split screen also though because along with this excitement there are real issues i understand with transportation and how folks are just getting there right la uh has got a big federal investment [01:14:48] Speaker 13: to address this just recently nine million dollars we heard from the department of sec we heard from the transportation secretary sean duffy who made the announcement that they were essentially granting los angeles nine million dollars to make the transit system more efficient why because they got about 200 000 people coming to this very concentrated area to try to catch the game to try to go to the many watch parties the fan fest activities and so that is certainly going to hopefully uh may getting from point a to point b a little bit smoother uh that said there is an awful lot of people here but i haven't really heard any complaints because people to some degree understand that you know when you have an event of this magnitude uh there is going to be a little bit of a difference uh getting around but that's been some federal help uh that has hopefully tried to streamline this entire ordeal this has been described tom is more than 70 super bowls over the course of 39 days yeah it's going to be phenomenal and of course [01:15:54] Speaker 1: the world loves football with a u as much as we love it with two o's uh morgan thanks very much for reporting and of course the fifa world cup 2026 is here you can watch every match every moment in spanish on talamundo and peacock in english on fox we're told but it's a lot of fun to watch it in spanish still ahead a woman rescued after being trapped for three days how she was finally pulled to safety plus what victoria veckham says she thought she was showing up for today at the hollywood walk of fame okay over now to the five things our team thinks you may want to know about on this friday number one a three judge panel is shutting down sam bankman freed's attempt to overturn his fraud conviction calling the evidence against him quote robust now remember the former crypto exchange founder was found guilty of stealing eight billion dollars from customers we told you he's also looking for a pardon from president trump we've reached out to the white house and doj and the lawyers for sbf for comment but we've not heard back number two justin baldoni's production company is officially on the hook for some of blake lively's legal fees this concerns the it ends with us legal drama the actor settled their dispute last month today a judge ruled lively can get her money back after baldoni's defamation suit was dismissed last year but says lively is not entitled to additional damages lively's attorney says so the decision proves that lively acted in good faith baldoni's team tells mbc news lively exploited the california law that was established to protect real victims number three the king of spain swooped into the rescue to help get the pope back home to italy today a technical issue popped up right after he boarded the papal plane everybody was told to disembark king king felipe then offered up his own private jet quite a way to wrap up that historic trip headed back to rome number four former soccer star david beckham receiving the iconic hollywood walk of fame star today celebrating his impact on sports entertainment take a listen to what his wife and [01:18:07] Speaker 43: former spice girl victoria beckham had to say so naturally i assumed i was coming here today to receive my star for my part in that iconic cult classic spice world the movie [01:18:24] Speaker 1: no no it's beckham's left foot and his right foot right and it seems like the crowd agrees but she also says her husband has quote achieved the extraordinary that he has number five a whole bunch of bees caused a bit of a buzz at cancun's airport there they are dripping off the wing hanging off of the united airlines flight there before the plane was about to depart they called in a beekeeper cost a bit of a short delay but thankfully nobody was stung there's the beekeeper look at that down below nobody was stung and the bees never got inside the plane right now we are getting a look at new video of a rescue in minnesota that sounds an awful lot like it's right out of an action movie so check this out two men saving a woman who was trapped in the mud like quicksand there they are surrounding her it turns out she'd been there for three days take a listen to [01:19:12] Speaker 16: them describe the moment they found her we could see that there was a body in the puddle next to the van and then that's when it got real when we walked up we we thought she was dead uh we thought it was just the body and then she whispered help me the men say that it took about an hour and a half to get [01:19:34] Speaker 1: her out paramedics then took her to the hospital and we're told she's doing well now mbc steven romo joins us now steve it seems like serendipity played a role in this kind of wild rescue story right how did this woman manage to get stuck in the mud for three days and how did they find her [01:19:53] Speaker 17: yeah tom called serendipity divine providence or just old-fashioned good luck so this pair of guys adam sandbeck and mike gravelen they were off-roading in north central minnesota last weekend which they do pretty often and they had a route that they typically took but they just happened to decide to go a different way that is when they came across this minivan which is clearly not equipped for off-roading and as they got closer they ended up seeing what you hear them there say they thought was a body a woman covered in mud up to her face they say she whispered for help that's when they got to work trying to get her out they spoke with our nbc affiliate care 11 about that harrowing encounter [01:20:36] Speaker 16: we ain't heroes we're just two guys but i have no doubt the hand of god was there guiding us [01:20:45] Speaker 17: that gives you goosebumps to think about if they had ended up going their normal route she might not have been saved so that's 68 year old katherine wessner you mentioned there missing for three days it took them a little less than 90 minutes to get her out then they called authorities who took her to the hospital and adam sandbeck the man on the left has talked to her since then and said she is strong and determined wessner told authorities she got out of her van and got stuck immediately she says that it felt just like quicksand but incredible this story of survival and those two men in the right [01:21:20] Speaker 1: place at the right time tom well i mean listen they they're the ones who got her out right they didn't wait for fire rescue they got her out so i think they are heroes that's an amazing story and then they [01:21:31] Speaker 17: called 911 to get more help so impressive stuff it really is stephen romo thank you very much [01:21:37] Speaker 1: coming up the ufc is heading to the white house this weekend but president trump isn't the only commander in chief who likes wrestling we're going to look at a presidential fight club that stretches all the way back to george washington and the dramatic rescue all caught on video how cruise saved riders trapped more than 100 feet up in the air at an amusement park in missouri we're coming back we're back in just the last few hours the federal judge has issued a ruling that will allow a major ufc fight to move forward on the white house lawn the freedom 250 fight is set for sunday and as we've reported two virginia residents tried to block the event from happening altogether due to all of the road closures it is expected to cause here in the dc area plus the scale of the event kind of hard to ignore here still the size of the fight nothing new for president trump who has a long track record of hosting this kind of function and beyond the spectacle fighting really is deeply rooted in american presidential history our gary grumbach reports in tonight's breakdown [01:22:56] Speaker 18: a fight on white house grounds like something out of a movie [01:23:03] Speaker 19: or from the world of wwe sparking controversy from the courts to cable news this is fundamentally the private profiteering of our national monuments a president who rarely backs down from a fight [01:23:18] Speaker 18: bringing one to the south lawn of the white house but for all the uproar fighting in many ways is deeply rooted in american history our leaders have gone toe-to-toe with their competition for nearly 250 [01:23:29] Speaker 20: years not just on the debate stage you cut permits and licenses on federal land and federal waters in [01:23:35] Speaker 18: half not true governor romey but on the mat 13 former presidents were wrestlers including dwight eisenhower and william howard taft even george washington was known to grapple according to the national wrestling hall of fame and a young abraham lincoln is also said to have been victorious in [01:23:50] Speaker 21: hundreds of matches in his day there's only one recorded instance in which lincoln lost a wrestling match that's the kind of a president you want and teddy roosevelt as a president he learned jujitsu and actually threw a senator onto the ground i'm sure other presidents would have liked to do that [01:24:08] Speaker 18: themselves but americans have never seen anything quite like this sunday's ufc fight is set with up to 5 000 members of the military administration officials and trump allies expected to be in attendance so how did ufc go from this warned there are no rules that is brutal prompting in-depth critical coverage but [01:24:29] Speaker 22: one man's entertainment is another man's carnage and even congressional condemnation i'd like to put [01:24:36] Speaker 23: the ultimate fighting championships out of business to this it's thanks in part to a casino owner who [01:24:42] Speaker 18: welcomed the then flailing sport into his venue in 2001 a guy by the name of donald trump the spectacular [01:24:49] Speaker 24: trump taj mahal home tonight to the world's most prestigious mixed martial arts event he always [01:24:55] Speaker 25: seemed to be a fan of the sport thanks to the donald for hosting another great ultimate fighting championship he was there he was sitting in the front row well i'm a fan and i'm becoming more of a [01:25:05] Speaker 18: fan we trump's involvement the start of a decades-long relationship with ufc ceo dana white i'm in the [01:25:12] Speaker 26: tough guy business and this man is the toughest most resilient human being that i've ever met in my [01:25:18] Speaker 27: life a sport built on physicality 18 to 34 year old males love this stuff it is fast-paced it is [01:25:25] Speaker 18: entertaining it is brutal with a president who enjoys a good fight now coming to the people's house gary grumbach nbc news washington [01:25:40] Speaker 1: nbc covers hundreds of stories each day who can possibly read watch or listen to all of them well you're in luck our bureau teams have selected some highlights and this is what they tell us is going down in the regions we call this the local from our western bureau that massive northern california warehouse fire that we told you about yesterday it's still smoldering investigators are looking into why the sprinkler system failed the one million square foot large facility held medical supplies nobody injured uh fire commanders say high winds and high temps made their efforts very difficult from our midwest bureau look at this four people trapped on a swing ride at six flags in st louis dangling more than 100 feet in the air after the ride malfunctioned they were hung up there for at least two hours rescue teams used a crane to get them down thankfully everybody is safe from our northeast bureau people in one massachusetts neighborhood are stopping at a different kind of drive-through there he is driver the golden retriever is dishing out smooches for free through his kissing window his owner says the goal is to put a smile on everybody's face but just remember to only give him one treat because he's watching his figure coming up the nba finals could come to a dramatic game this weekend how san antonio is prepping for whatever happens plus the nhl was shocked by the sudden death of a legendary player but the loss could help shed light on the lasting impacts of head injuries in hockey okay right now san antonio is gearing up for what could be the last game of the nba finals with game five of the nicks versus the spurs uh tomorrow night in texas the nicks are just one win away from taking the series of course and if you'll be there expect to see a lot more police because of scenes like this in new york people climbing street signs flipping taxis after the big nicks win on wednesday the bexar county sheriff's department says it is going to be it's going above and beyond to keep everybody safe that means more drone units officers on the ground on horseback as well deputies will also escort nicks players and their families between the hotel and the arena to avoid a repeat of this a near miss for spurs star wemby who was almost hit with an egg thrown at him as the team walked back to their hotel this week mbc's own jesse kirsch got to catch up with some players today including nick star jalen brunson i think regardless of what happened um our mindset would have been [01:28:19] Speaker 28: 0-0 today and um coming into to we're going into tomorrow um just focusing what we gotta do to be better um seeing where we lacked and seeing what the things that we did well how we can improve on that [01:28:34] Speaker 1: so let's get to jesse live now in san antonio jesse you spoke to some players how are the spurs feeling uh right now and they're hoping to keep hope alive right [01:28:45] Speaker 29: yeah it's make or break for them tomorrow night tom they have to win here at home otherwise their season ends the knicks are champions and kelden johnson from the spurs tells me the team is well [01:28:55] Speaker 30: aware of this here's part of our conversation what's the energy like in the locker room right now um it's great i mean we we got we stay with the belief um we have faith that that you know we're taking one game at a time we definitely love being in front of our fans we love being at home and putting on the show for for san antonio and we have the best fans in the nba so we know they're going to come in and turn up and and have fun um but it's definitely a crucial game is when to go home and uh you know what other way to be in front of our fans back against the wall ready to go i also asked him [01:29:27] Speaker 29: about the unruly knicks fans in new york he said that behavior does not impact them tom yeah listen [01:29:33] Speaker 1: i just looked up the temp because you look warm it's 91 degrees where you are so uh get cool when you can but listen the knicks are just one win away from their first championship in over 50 years so how is jalen brunson looking at this game going in [01:29:48] Speaker 29: he says that he looks at this as zero zero some of the knicks fans are already declaring victory of course they just had that historic comeback but when you talk to jalen brunson he says this is still anyone serious to take a hold of here is part of our conversation [01:30:02] Speaker 31: some of your fans look at this is already wrapped up how do you tune that out and stay focused yeah it's [01:30:07] Speaker 28: been um it's in the process but i think as a team we have to hold each other accountable uh you know whatever is being said positive or negative you can't really think about worry about too much try your best not to listen and see those things you never want to be disrespectful and um obviously throwing stuff and saying things that are um obviously not a part of the game uh is considered disrespectful so um obviously i love our fans but we got to be better [01:30:37] Speaker 29: that's part of our conversation there him also talking about uh unruly behavior from fans and one of the things that really sticks out to me tom we talked about you know some of the negative things that fans have been doing but also just the joy and the elation that i've actually seen firsthand having just been home visiting family uh in new york last week it is electric in the city right now i asked jalen brunson if he's been able to soak up any of that even just for a second in the middle of this and he said he has not he is laser focused on getting the job done tom yeah i [01:31:03] Speaker 1: like his message though be respectful uh jesse kirsch thanks very much to our original now in-depth reporting on a topic that we've been watching closely the nhl could be raising the stanley cup this weekend but the entire league hockey fans and retired players are still coming to grips with a sudden loss of a legend claude lemieux his death by suicide two weeks ago sent shock waves through that sport and now that loss may help shine a light on the potential lasting impacts of head injuries in hockey mbc news medical reporter dr extra sale explains four-time stanley cup champion claude lemieux returning [01:31:41] Speaker 32: to montreal seemingly on top of the world revered by the crowd as he literally and emotionally lit up a stadium but just four days later shock lemieux's family confirming his death by suicide at 60 years old tributes flooding in from the hockey community but less covered an announcement from the family that they'd be donating lemieux's brain to the boston university cte center as a quote gift to science and the future generations of families seeking answers emphasizing no conclusions should be drawn regarding any diagnosis [01:32:12] Speaker 33: it's the thousands of impacts over a an athletic career dr jesse mess is one of the lead researchers at the center just about everybody who we have found cte in their brain uh has had a history of exposure to repetitive head impacts from contact sports occasionally from military service he helped publish the largest [01:32:33] Speaker 32: ever study for deceased male ice hockey players in december 2024 in it finding the odds of having cte increased by 34 percent each year played in the united states cte is often tied to football high-profile suicides a hollywood movie and years of the nfl updating concussion protocols we broaden the definition of concussion but meds stresses that there's a risk from any contact sport and now hockey players are [01:32:57] Speaker 34: increasingly under the microscope when you look at a football player's brain versus a hockey player's [01:33:01] Speaker 35: brain under the microscope what differences do you see we we did not see very noticeable differences probably my first bad concussion would have been my first game in the um in the minor leagues i [01:33:13] Speaker 32: pretty much got probably one a year after that jamie huscroft played almost 400 nhl games over 10 years known as an enforcer he estimates he had at least 14 concussions over his life on the ice probably fought [01:33:25] Speaker 35: guys above my weight class did i know it was dangerous absolutely but you know i i i did it it was a different era when he played we knew concussions weren't good we just didn't know [01:33:37] Speaker 32: the severity now huscroft raises awareness about concussions talking to coaches athletic trainers [01:33:43] Speaker 35: and players at all levels they do a really good job of making sure that the kids self-report and they'll even have the teammates report sometimes i can fool you but when i'm talking to my teammates and my peers [01:33:59] Speaker 32: they'll notice huscroft credits the nhl with making positive rule changes and leveling fines for intentional acts while concussions can be diagnosed cte can't be until after death but researchers are working on finding biomarkers similar to how doctors are now able to diagnose alzheimer's disease [01:34:14] Speaker 33: for many many years we would diagnose these other neurodegenerative diseases in life without that biomarker and i think we should be moving towards that with with cte too that would be done with [01:34:25] Speaker 32: recognizing symptoms like cognitive impairment and behavioral and mood changes a challenge since they can overlap with so many medical issues and huscroft says there's still a stigma about talking [01:34:35] Speaker 35: about them i think guys pretty much they um they just separate from the team right out of pride claude [01:34:41] Speaker 32: lemieux was a long-time advisor for carolina hurricanes goalie frederick anderson now battling to host the stanley cup speaking of lemieux after a recent game he saw them a competitor but he's the he's got the biggest heart but now it's lemieux's brain that could have an impact on the game for years to come [01:34:56] Speaker 1: dr akshay sile nbc news actually thank you very much if you or anybody you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide call or text home to 988 you can also contact the crisis text line at 741-741 still ahead of the big move by one of the biggest names and content for children how coco melon is working to shed his reputation as crack for kids okay big news in the world of kids programming coco melon you might have heard of it if not your kids probably have we're talking about a bunch of the shows that millions of young children watch well this week the company that makes the preschool series analysis will start using childhood development research across the portfolio a move that could cause a ripple effect for children's programming in this new digital first world nbc's yasmin vasugian has more [01:35:57] Speaker 36: the sound that captivates millions of children from tablets to tv screens coco melon is one of the most watched children's shows generating billions of views since it hit the scene in 2006. but some give it a bad rap for its bright colors and fast pacing even acquiring the unbecoming nickname [01:36:16] Speaker 37: crack for kids many parents swear it off all together so i banned coco melon in my house it is hyper stimulating it causes addiction the studio that acquired the preschool phenomenon about six years ago [01:36:31] Speaker 36: moonbug entertainment is now making a big change partnering with ucla's center for scholars and storytellers to bring childhood developmental research directly into its content after so many years my [01:36:45] Speaker 38: question is why now since day one we've always implemented child development uh consultant process and we wanted to be just a little bit more intentional and transparent about how we underpin those experience with you know just a deeper and greater child development insights the move [01:37:05] Speaker 36: comes as kids spend more time watching online content and parents question what quality screen time should look like responding to my question about all the criticism the company says its songs and shows are just one tool to help caregivers we definitely want kids of you know families [01:37:22] Speaker 38: to find that balance you know time away from screen obviously you know either outside and playing [01:37:28] Speaker 36: interacting with other kids the center that moonbug commissioned analyzed hours of programming and reviewed [01:37:34] Speaker 39: decades of data the content was neither as bad as much of the press and parents believe nor perfect there was [01:37:42] Speaker 36: still work to do that work four new key learning principles the company says will be fundamental in its storytelling moving forward who touched your dental leg decades ago shows that kids watched on tv didn't always have a lesson plan early cartoons from popeye to looney tunes filled with chaos and violence my neighbor then a different approach emerged shows like mr rogers neighborhood and sesame street brought experts into the creative process that model helped shape generations but kids are growing up in a different media landscape in a 2025 pew research survey 85 of parents say their children watch videos on youtube about half of them on a daily basis unlike traditional television the barrier to entry is low anyone can create bots on the platform work to remove content not suitable for kids but even the company admits quote no automated system is perfect now artificial intelligence makes it even harder to know what to watch [01:38:48] Speaker 40: we can choose to optimize for child development or we can choose to optimize reviews and issue creators like dave path are working to solve ai as an image generating or a video generating tool has made it even easier to create content that looks professional but it's sort of skin deep moonbug believes its new [01:39:11] Speaker 36: principles can serve as a roadmap for what age-appropriate content should look like we're really encouraging [01:39:17] Speaker 41: curiosity at a very young age the whole point of our collaboration is to minimize negative [01:39:24] Speaker 36: impact and maximize positive impact as the screens change the goal isn't just finding something to watch it's finding something worth watching yasmin vasugian nbc news that is a wrap for us at this hour [01:39:39] Speaker 1: but thanks for watching you can see
