Were so glad to have you waking up with us. We want to get right to our top story. Israel launching a new series of air strikes overnight, reducing entire neighborhoods in gaza to piles of debris. This morning the brutal scale of the atrocities committed by hamas. Meantime, President Biden left no doubt over where the u. S. Support states lie. Saying in a speech yesterday in this moment we must be Crystal Clear we stand with israel. As the death toll rises, the u. S. Has confirmed at least 14 americans have been killed and at least 20 other americans among the missing. New this morning, the Israel Ministry of defense released images of advanced weaponry of the United States. We are covering every angle of this developing story. Lets start with ncs Richard Engel in israel again for us. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. As you mentioned, the death toll here is continuing to rise, from the worst terrorist attacks in this countrys history. The hamas attacks are now believed to have killed 1,200 israelis, and we are only in the first stage of this conflict. Israel is promising an invasion of the gaza strip. Israel is bombing the gaza strip relentlessly, targeting hamas leaders, a university, and the port. Palestinians are trying desperately to get out. Power and Water Supplies have been cut. The people of gaza have no choice who rules them and are already suffering, this man doing all he can to comfort his daughters. Dont be scared, he tells them. Dont be scared. Around a thousand palestinians killed so far, and this is just the opening phase. Israel is now preparing to send in tanks and troops. Israels defense minister promising a war that will change gaza forever. We started the offensive from the air. Later on we will also come from the ground, he said. He added, it will only intensify. The United States, israels closest ally, is fully behind it on this one. The pentagon has deployed warships to the eastern mediterranean, u. S. Officials tell nbc news they are actively trying to prevent this war from spreading to the middle east not to get involved and to sit this one out. Israel remains in a state of shock as the scale of brutality of last weekend are still being uncovered. They entered the kabuttz to find families murdered in their homes. It is something that i never saw in my life. It is something that we used to imagine as our grandfather and grandmother in europe and other places. Reporter dozens of civilians killed here as hamas gunmen went house to house killing men, women and children and kidnapping whoever could be carried back into gaza. Absolute pure hell broke loose and destroyed everything we know, one of the most beautiful places in the world as far as i know is completely destroyed. Reporter tensions are also increasing along israels northern border with lebanon. Thats of particular concern to u. S. Officials because if this does become a wider regional war, it will likely spread there. Savannah . All right. Richard engel there, thank you very much. President biden pledged support for israel and confirmed for the first time that americans are among the hostages. Lets bring in nbcs chief White House Correspondent peter alexander. Hau, peter, good morning. Reporter hoda, good morning. This is one of the most proisrael speeches we have ever heard and a fierce condemnation of hamas attacks, mincing no words in detailing the terror groups brutality, comparing it to isis. The first batch of aid arrived in israel. The president promising ammunition for israels iron dome defense system. Here is some of what President Biden said. This was an act of sheer evil. More than 1,000 civilians slaughtered. They just got slaughtered. Let there be no doubt the United States has israels back. We will make sure the jewish state of israel can defend itself today and tomorrow as we always have. Reporter a team of technical experts experienced in hostage recovery is also on its way, there to advise israelis, not to rescue americans being held. Secretary of state Anthony Blinken is expected to be there today. Hoda, we have just learned that President Biden is expected to le stop by a roundtable with Jewish Community leaders here this afternoon to reiterate his unwavering support for israel and his work to combat antisemitism. Hoda . Peter, before President Biden gave a speech, he had a phone le call with Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. What do you know about that . Reporter yes. In that call, President Biden promised aid. But he urged israels Prime Minister to minimize civilian casualties in gaza. We learned the Biden Administration is coordinating with other countries on a plan that would offer safe passage out of gaza for civilians, at risk of getting caught. Palestinian civilians, including americans there would escape the war zone through gazas southern border with egypt. Peter alexander at the white house. Peter, thank you. We want to turn to jeremy bash who served as chief of staff at the cia and the defense department. Lets talk about the hostage department. The american hostages in particular. If youre the u. S. Government right now, if youre sitting in your old job, is there a realistic possibility of a rescue . Whats the playbook here . We dont have a playbook for this, savannah. There is no precedent for having up to 20 americans being held hostage by a terrorist organization. The first key imperative will try to get that location through phone intercepts or human sources we can coordinate with the israelis. Maybe with the egyptians. They also have some sources within hamas. But i think the key tool were going to be leaning on heavily is thirdparty negotiators, the government of qatar, the government of egypt. Theyre going to be the best ones to try to position a negotiation with these hostages. How would a negotiation like that go if you do get a third party like qatar . Whats in it to release american hostages . I think it will probably be a prisoner swap. If you look at the press in israel, they swapped for thousands of palestinian prisoners. Were probably looking for similar prisoner swaps. The United States will have to use its authority with israel to convince them to make those deals. Of course, they have hundreds of hostages there. And theyre facing the prospect just this morning of saying theyre preparing to do a Ground Invasion into gaza while these hostages are still there. Its incredibly fraught and complicated. How do these factor in . These hostages will probably be used as human shields. Theyll probably be separated into smaller groups and colocated with senior hamas figures to try to protect the terrorists from the israeli on slaut. They dont really want to own gaza. Gaza is an enormous nightmare for the israeli government. They want to go in and decapitate hamas leadership, kill or capture Hamas Terrorists er and inabout crease their leverage and protect the southern border towns. It is hard to do a Surgical Strike like that to go from air and it requires you to go with ground forces. At the same time, jeremy, we cant forget to its north, israel faces hezbollah, also a proxy of iran and there have been clashes in the north. How concerned are folks that this could spark a regional conflict . Very concerned, savannah, because hezbollah operates not only in lebanon but also syria. Israel has to protect its communities there. They have to be prepared for an allout war with an iranian proxy. I think israel will be prepared not only to strike targets there in lebanon and syria but also the persian golf. In the few seconds we have, weve seen the u. S. Now positioned, some military assets right there. Is this just messaging . Or is there the potential that any of this could be used . It is deterrence. It is a combination of messaging that we will hold iran responsible, hold them at risk. So if we need to spring into action, were ready to go. Jeremy bash, thank you as always. As the war in the middle east rages on, Law Enforcement and officials are on high alert, stepping up security. Stephanie gosk has that part of the story. Reporter hey there, hoda. You know, the war is only getting more intense. P as you mentioned, Police Departments nation wooud on high alert for possible violence in this country. Here in new york city, police are patrolling synagogues, but the mayor also called on places of worship to consider hiring their own security. With the war raging in the middle east, this morning the mayor of new york has the city on notice. We have to be on high alert. We cannot let our guards down. Reporter with the threat of violence and possible lone wolf attacks, the nypd increased patrols and added shifts to secure jewish places of worship. New york stands with israel. Reporter at a proisrael rally tuesday with new york governor kathy hochul, the nypd was taking no chances. This is one of the largest proisrael rallies since the hamas attacks. There are thousands of people here. Before they showed up, police were here during security sweeps. The increased security measures spread across the country. The didnt of homeland skurd and fbi are working closely with the state and local Law Enforcement with Jewish Community partners. Reporter the president adding there is no place in the United States for hate against anybody, jews or muslims. In l. A. , police are patrolling jewish communities. Pittsburgh, where a mass shooter killed 11 people at a synagogue in 2018, has also added patrols and beefed up its intelligence gathering while jewish leaders are calling on people to be vigilant. Historically it is known that antiisrael violence equates to a huge increase in antisemitic actions in other areas. Reporter competing rallies can be flash points for confrontation, which is also playing out as a war of words on college campuses. Student at multiple universities across the country are being criticized for organizing protests against israel. Le at harvard, they released a letter saturday that said they hold the Israeli Regime entirely responsible for the unfolding violence. Under pressure for not responding, the universitys president issued a statement tuesday condemning hamas and saying no Student Group speaks for harvard. New york city has the largest Jewish Community outside of israel. The mayor is calling on the public to help as well. In his words, this is not a time to be on your phone. He says, look up and be aware of your surroundings. Hoda, back to you. Stephanie gosk for you in midtown. Good morning. Good morning to you as well. The attack on israel is adding more pressure on House Republicans to elect a new speaker. The leading contenders addressing colleagues at a closed door meeting last night ahead of a potential vote today. Nbcs capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles has been following this very closely. Lets start there. In the race for speaker, what are we expecting today . Reporter good morning. House republicans will hold an internal speaker election today. That step is required before a full vote on the house floor for House Speaker later this week. The two leading candidates are zeev lease of louisiana and jim jordan of ohio. Both have yet to demonstrate they have the overwhelming support within the Republican Congress to win. Conservative hard liner matt gaetz who was largely responsible for Kevin Mccarthy losing his job, said if one of the candidates emerges as a favorite, then the house would fall in line. They put the chances of a speaker getting picked today at only 2 . Craig . Meanwhile, other news on the ll, joorj toews is back in the news again. Hes facing new legal troubles. What more can you tell us about George Santos . Thats right. Under federal indictment. 23 counts of Identity Theft and credit card fraud. Among the allegations, that he stole a donors credit card number to transfer money into his bank account and then tricked donors, ultimately using money for designer goods and personal experience. Prosecutors allege he used Fake Campaign loans and donations to create the mirage of a successful political campaign. He refused to comment as he left when the indictment was handed down saying he had no access to his phone. Santos has been under intense scrutiny after it was revealed he embellished parts of his resume after his campaign and he has faced calls to resign, which, of course, he said he has no plans of doing.

Lets begin with the Stunning Health revelation of Mary Lou Retton. She was the team usas breakout star at the 1984 olympics she was the First American to win allaround gold. She is now fighting for her life battling a rare form of pneumonia. Nbcs Kristen Dahlgren is here with details good morning zbhood morning, guys yeah, mary lous daughter posted about her mothers condition on social media, but she didnt want to talk about it, asking for privacy. So we dont know the specific medical issues that her mother is facing. But this morning fans who so vividly remember her broad smile and athleticism are hoping for her recovery the then 16yearold becoming the first u. S. Woman to win gold in the allaround, catapulting her to superstardom. With commercials and sponsorship deals, even playing tiny tim in the big film skrooged, and competing in dancing with the stars. But this morning the legendary gymnast is hospitalized with a rare form of pneumonia she writes in part, mary lou is fighting for her life. She is not able to breathe on her own. She has been in the icu for over a week now kelly asking the public for donations, writing that her mother is not insured. When we talk about rare forms of pneumonia, it could be these inflammatorytype pneumonias in individuals with underlying medical conditions or a rare form of infection that we dont often talk about. Reporter the gymnast appeared to be in good spirits earlier this year as they hosted a gymnastics tour called mothers and daughters, forever our legacy speaking out about the importance of Mental Health for women and girls in the sport. Mental health wasnt even a thing. It wasnt allowed. It was suck it up, be tough. Reporter rhett on the and her daughter sat down with us in 2017 with mary lou cheering her every move she was in the stands screaming her heart out. I promise her every year, i say, mckenna, im going to sit like every other normal parent, but i just cant do it the u. S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee are working to provide assistance through their relief fund writing, please know our hearts are with mary lou. As our are ours, guys. Lets bring in our medical correspondent dr. Tara narula. This is so shocking to think there is a rare form of pneumonia that can leave you like this in the icu any form of pneumonia can potentially leave you like this. We think about it as something thats relatively common and you recover it but certain cases can become severe enough that people end up in the icu on a ventilator and there can be complications from that even from your typical bacteria or viruses we know it is responsible for about 40,000, 50,000 deaths a year in the country. It is the second leading cause of hospitalization in america is pneumonia, and about 4. 5 million outpa outpatients, e. R. Visits for pneumonia. It is scary to think about this, but it is something that happens. If you have pneumonia, you get antibiotics and a steroid and hopefully thats the end of it what are the complications that could form first of all, lets talk about what puts you at increased risk because there are some people who may be more predisposed to having it become more severe, those who are over 65, those with cardiovascular disease, immunocomimmunocomprom with diabetes. And those who get viral infections like the flu or covid or rsv, which highlights the importance of getting vaccinated so you could reduce your risk of becoming a severe complication but when you talk about the severity, pneumonia can be caused by bacteria or viruses. Many times when you get to the icu, it is hard to know what it is thats causing it you hit someone with Broad Spectrum antibiotics in the spectrum antibiotics, stuff that covers everything, in the hopes that you can treat the pathogen. Then you pair down those sometimes you are not getting the right bacteria sometimes it is a drugresistant bacteria sometimes complications can happen like a heart attack or stroke or you can become septic so the bacteria spreads into the blood. They develop organ failure so there are complications that can take someone that maybe they recover from 48 to 24 hours in the icu, like you would hope, or you stay there, like she has, for more than a week really quickly, doctor, what are some things that folks can do to reduce the chances that they might get pneumonia, or are there things we can do absolutely. Getting vaccinated the knew moe cobco vaccine for those over 65. The flu vaccine. You all got your flu shot. Rsv now, covid, these can decrease the potential you end up in the icu. Certainly stopping smoking all of those things are ways you can prevent it and then recognizing the signs and symptoms early if you have a productive cough, a fever, you are short of breath, you notice your lips, your fingers are turning blue, you are breathing faster, those are signs to look for. In the older people, malaise or feeling weak or lethargic or confusion so really having that threshold for knowing when you should get to the hospital. Thank you. Still ahead here, could a seinfeld revival be in the works . Thats coming up in popstart. What the star is hinting 25 years after the series finale. Welcome news if you are fed up with the junk fees.

Back at 7 41 with todays consumer reporting yeah. You probably noticed them or maybe you didnt and thats the whole point. Theyre often added to your bill at the very last moment. Now the Biden Administration is moving ahead with a plan to ban those junk fees. Nbcs tom costello joins us now with welcome news on what will probably be good news for a lot of people. These are services you might assume should be included at hotels, at resorts, at restaurants, you name it and theres often no opting out even if you dont want these fees, even if you dont want necessarily to use the bicycle the federal trade Commission Says they are deceptive. Theyre prohibitive and now its moving to ban junk fees and impose penalties on companies that charge those hidden fees. Reporter how often has it happened to you . You book online or check out of your hotel only to find unexpected resort, convenience, service, or amenity fees added to your bill, and theres no opting out when candace and bob left their las vegas hotel, the surprise, 50 per night resort fees took a bite so it is like we paid 150 in just resort fees, which just adds on top of Everything Else it just got a lot more expensive than we were anticipating. Convention organizer bob krause was charged 20 per night for each of the 50 rooms he reserved for over a weekend in d. C. I said what am i getting that im not otherwise getting . And there were crickets. Nothing. Im getting nothing extra out of it for paying 20 mandatory destination charge. Americans are tired of being played for suckers. In february, President Biden reporter in february, President Biden announced the white house would soon come down hard on junk fees. Those hidden surcharges too Many Companies use to make you pay more. Reporter its not just hotels and resorts junk fee charges show up for sporting events, concerts, apartment rentals, utilities some restaurants now add house or service or compliancy fees to pay their staff minimum wage, even slipping a gratuity in the fine print a proposed ban would require companies to be transparent. Disclose all fees upfront and in writing potentially saving americans billions of dollars. This is real money. It really adds up for people we believe the proposed rule the ftc is putting forward will make the market much fairer for americans. With it will ultimately mean theyre paying less. Reporter a California Law banning junk fees takes effect next year, but in the meantime, frequent traveler Robert Krause says if you are hit with a junk fee, just say no is there any way to fight back absolutely. You Better Believe it. I refuse i just said i refuse to pay a daily mandatory destination charge all right well, it helps that he has elite status how about the rest of us it is important to read the fine print before you sign your reservation or make your reservation online and certainly before you sign the credit card as youre leaving. Hey, tom, it sounds great but how exactly would that ban be enforced . How would they go about enforcing it reporter so if they proceed, first they have to have a Public Comment period you can do that on their website. If they proceed, the rules could take effect next year. And companies that violate the rule and continue to push out junk fees, they could be required to refund that money back to customers, back to me and you. By the way, livenation and ticketmaster say theyre now providing upfront pricing information for big event tickets. So some of the pressure is already starting to pay off. You make a good point read the fine print. Tom, thank you. All right. Lets get another check of the weather. No, this is big print the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration says the 2023 billion dollar disasters so far this year, 24 billion disasters, these are the most events ever in a single year and, in fact, three of the last four years have had 20 plus billion dollar disasters so far this year, flooding has cost us 7 billion winter weather, 2 billion drought and heatwaves, 4 billion.

Nbcs lester holt is on the ground in israel where families who have missing have little information. They have hope, but not much else to go on. Lester, good morning reporter savannah, good morning. The Israeli Defense forces estimated that 150 civilians, including what the white house says are 20 americans, are still missing after the horrific attacks over the weekend and for the loved ones, there is little do but wait, hope, and pray for their safe return this morning, a looming threat by Hamas Terrorists to kill a hostage and broadcast their executions every time an israeli air strike hits gazans in their homes without warning. Thats your mom his mom, 66yearold nurse adrian neta, one of the missing and presumed to have been abducted by hamas. My mom and born and raised in california. Her siblings were on the phone with her when they say terrorists barged into her home and they heard screaming that was the last contact with her. There were no shots heard. There were no shots heard. So you take some hope in that of course, yeah im quite confident that if those animals didnt kill her on the first go that she survived and and shes kept hostage in gaza. Reporter and he has a message for his mother. Were waiting for you we love you. Reporter the victims of the weekend attack were overwhelmingly civilians, many taken from the streets and their homes and an outdoor Music Festival david and his friend, friends since the 7th grade, were at unard security when the attack happened early saturday morning. They meant to kill people. Yeah. Theyre looking for people to kill reporter the friends tried to get festivalgoers to safety barr, who is also a paramedic, stayed behind to help the injured. When did you learn that he had been kidnapped his brother called me and asked me if i know what happened to barr. And he told me he told me that he came with me. Reporter and then you saw the video . Yeah. And then i saw the video. Reporter propaganda video released by hamas appears to show barr hands tied on the floor with other captives. It is not just a friend for me his family is like my second family, and i love him like my brother. Reporter friends and families in agony, not knowing whether their relatives are alive or if there is a plan to rescue them and bring them home. According to a u. S. Official, the u. S. Has sent in a team of technical advisers to interface with their counterparts in israel on hostage recovery techniques that same official stressed, however, the u. S.

Todays quake was a magnitude 6. 3, equal to the one that struck on saturday hundreds of homes that survived the earlier disaster collapsed this morning however, officials say, initially casualty figures appear to be low because people had been living in tents this week, afraid to stay inside any buildings because of the strong aftershocks. Back here, we are just hours away from the next highly anticipated powerball drawing. The massive jackpot nearly 1. 8 billion. It is the second largest jackpot in u. S. History.

Powerball 1. 72 billion right now and has an estimated hoda, good morning the state of florida no stranger to powerball winners i want to be clear about one thing, though, first this is not a misprint pour ball, 1. 72 billion right now as an estimated jackpot. You may be wondering why there are so many jackpots over the years. They pumped up the ticket prices from 1 to 2, which generated more money as far as your odds are concerned it is still 1 in 292 million. We will tell you what states are the luckiest indiana, the hoosier state, has had 39 winners they also, not surprisingly, have had this powerball for about the longest time, roughly 30 years here in florida, theyve had 16 winners only since 2009.

[mind blown explosion noise] we are back. 8 14 with carson well have hodas exclusive interview with jada pin pinket pinkettsmith. Yeah. She is onehalf of hollywoods most powerful couple shes at the center of constant gossip and controversy, including that slap at the oscars when we met up with jada in her hometown of baltimore, she opened up about an issue that has been kept secret until now there are so many surprising things in the book, but the thing that surprised me the most that i actually had to reread it because i said, is this true right. Was that in 2016, you and will decided that you were going to live completely separate lives. Yes. It was not a divorce on paper. Right. But it was a divorce. Divorce. So from the year 2016, which is seven years ago now, you all have been apart . Yeah. But in public, the couple who married in 1997, denied the gossip about their marriage. This interview on bravos watch what happens live with andy cohen was taken a year after how long have you guys been together . Will and jada separated. How long have you guys been together 23 years. Wow thats amazing how do you keep it hot how do i keep it hot . You know, maybe i dont know. I mean, im baffled, really. Over the next several years, jada and will kept up the appearance of a committed married couple they even faced a scandal when jada had, what she called, an entanglement with a family friend neither let the public know they had already split. So i guess my question is, i feel like youre a straight talker. I am. Except youre not sometimes. Yeah. So why do that . Like what was the reason i think just not being ready yet. Still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in partnership, right . And in regards to how do we present that to people, you know and we hadnt figured that out. During our walk in baltimore, jada reflected on their breakup. Why did the relationship fracture why it fractured, thats a lot of things. I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be. Jada says she considered a legal divorce but could never go through with it. I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever. And i just havent been able to break that promise but you still live separately. We live separately. I have so many questions. So do i. I have so many questions. It was the strangest kind of revelation to realize these two people had separate lives. They had not called each other husband and wife in all of these years. Except for the appearances everywhere they went. Including the oscars. Yes. By the way, theres a whole chunk in the book that were going to get into in the dateline special and what happened in the moment when he said get my wifes name out of your mouth and that kind of thing. Theres a whole backstory there too. But jada is candid and honest in this book. She is saying things they never said, so they have been living this pretend life publicly. For years so now shes telling everyone but theyre not divorced. Nope. And they dont plan on it. I think a lot of americans can relate there is a lot more distance between husband and wives that nobody talks about this sounds like thats a bigger goldfish. Thats a bigger delta we have a lot more on this conversation i was fascinated, by the way i sat down and spoke with her for a long period of time. We read the book from cover to cover. We will do a special on nbc news called jadas story, on friday night. I want to hear your podcast. Lets go, carson. All right. Its so interesting how people will react. Everyone understands a marriage, things being complicated with your family. But it goes in grooves i know you ask her a lot about that. There will be a lot more. We did want to mention also that jada also spoke to people magazine, which is on stands this week. She will be here live in studio on monday. She has a lot going on. Thank you very much al, lets get a check on the weather. Lets show you what weve got for today. Heavy strong storms down through the gulf could be flash flooding. Some morning frost sunshine from the plains down into texas windy in the southwest some mountain snows back through the Western Plains and heavy rain moving into the pacific northwest. Thats whats going on a good morning. Lets check on our inland valleys. Its going to be breezy today so make sure youre keeping that in mind as you head out the door. 15 to 35 miles an hour especially near our coastlines but Better Weather upping those degrees by tomorrow, but short lived as we see more cloud cover rolling in friday, saturday and possibly sunday. Also a chance of rain over the next couple of days that might hi all right. Best time of the morning, popstart. I lost my voice yesterday a shoutout to someone who helped my voice. I got a little help and feel good yeah that was some shot she gave me first up, dolly parton she is launching a brandnew radio series. Were going to give you a sneak peek take a like. Hey, its me, dolly join me and my friend kelly as we share songs, stories and even a few surprises on what would dolly do radio. What would dolly do if someone told her she should tone down her style. Id say go to hell, i aint doing it i do hope more than anything that i have been an inspiration, that i can be an inspiration, that i can leave something behind that might make some difference and just to say, well, if she did it, i can do it she was just a poor girl i follow my heart.

Next up, seinfeld. Its been nearly 25 years since this highly debated finale. This court is adjourned. You had to hop . You had to hop on a plane well, it is only a year thats not so bad. Well be out in a year and then well be back. Could be fun. Dont have to worry about your meals or what you are going to do saturday night. They do shows. We could put on a show. Well, two decades later, jerry might be giving the gang another shot at their show the iconic comedian revealing at a recent standup gig that a clip is now going viral that he has, quote, something in the works with cocreator larry david. I have a little secret for you about the ending, but i cant really tell it because it is a secret heres what i will tell you, okay but you cant tell anybody something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. Hasnt happened yet. And just what you are thinking about, larry and i have also been thinking about. So youll see. Wow sounds official. No official word yet on the reunion. But were hoping there is a whole lot more coming from the show about nothing. And finally yesterday i had the privilege of taking part in the World Mental Health day festival one of the main events was a special conversation i shared with the duke and duchess about how to build a safer space online for our kids and teenagers. The event was hosted by the couples archibald foundation, along with a project, Healthy Minds where i do serve on the board of directors, and heres what they had to say i think we need to get out of this idea that young kids, there is something wrong with them no, it is the world were allowing to be created around them. This social media as it pertains to the youth, your youth, your two kids, where is that now on the priority list . Being a mom is the most important thing in my entire life, and outside of, of course, being a wife to this one. But i will say i feel fortunate that our children are at an age, again, quite young, so this isnt in our immediate future. But i also feel frightened by how its continuing to change. And this will be in front of us. I think so much of it can come down to if someone is looking for something, please dont feed them the thing theyre not looking for thats going to harm them the algorithms are very powerful but i am confident that with more ears and, as my husband said, awareness and visibility on what is really happening that we can make some significant change together. By the way, they were so great. People asked me, how were the royals i dont know whether to courtesy or hug meghan, big hugs lovely. Thats really cool. We were there for you last night, carson, which is just incredible you opened up about your own personal journey, managing your anxiety, playing a little portion of your speech last night. I started thinking, all right, what are the triggers for these panic attacks . How can i avoid them and eliminate them i had a panic attack in aspen, colorado fine, no more altitude for me. Panic attack at midnight going to bed at 10 00. Panic attack anywhere . I guess it is time to become a recluse and stay home like howard hughes. Thats where i was literally headed le and thats when i decided to take the single most important step in my Mental Health journey. Its not riveting, so hold onto your seats are you ready for it i took the wildest leap. I opened up, and i talked to a friend i did that rebel stuff, right he looked at me and said, man, i know exactly what youre talking about. That is so powerful, wow. So proud of you wow. Important conversation happening right now. I have to say, carson, i have known you a long time. That was an incredible speech. We will put the whole thing online so people can watch it. Good morning. It is 8 26. Perhaps the final word from School Trustees last night. They doubled down on their ban against flying the pride flag or any other flag besides the u. S. And state flags. Two trustees are voting against their recent resolution that banned the flag and one other who tried to revive the issue last night once again came out in support of the idea. The board president who voted down insists that the debate is now over but some pride flag supporters are still threatening to launch a recall effort. Time to get a look at the forecast for us. We have a look at what we can expect this week. Were going to expect some breezy conditions today moving in as that cold front finally makes its exit from the bay area. 15 to 35 mile an hour winds near the coastline and water but we have better temperature and more sunshine in store bumping up those numbers a bit in our inland valleys to the low 80s but we have more rain chances on the way friday into saturday and monday into tuesday.

With the Alaska Airlines visa card, so your friend can come along with you next time youre the legs we care a lot welcome back few filmmakers are able to capture the highs and lows like ken burns. From the brutality of the Civil National parks, his films tell the story of our nation. His latest is no exception the american buffalo highlights how buffalo were brought to and from the bring of extinction and the devastating effect it had on the native people of this land. Most people believe the continents most magnificent creature was about to disappear forever. During the same time, native americans had been dispossessed of most of their homelands, confined to reservations and deprived of an animal that had fed their bodies and nourished their spirits for untold generations. Ken, good morning you are just one of my favorites. Only you say, i had this idea for, oh, 30 years, but now is the time you really had this thought to do something about the buffalo for a long time. Why . And why now . The writer and coproducer and i have been thinking about it since we did a film on the west. We realized that waiting this 30 plus years has been good i hope were better filmmakers but we could also do a biography of an animal and talk about the extraordinary relationship between the buffalo and native americans for 10,000 years that gets broken when in a spasm of killing for industrial reasons, their leather hides were good to run the machines of the industrial revolution, we took this buffalo that had originally numbered in the tens of millions and then people woke down to a few in the zoo its the largest slaughter of wildlife in the history of the world. Its on our watch. And then people woke up. And on our watch, working with native peoples, we brought this animal back from the brink of extinction it is no longer in danger. Its kind of a parable of deextinction, but you have to actually register the complexity of what we did, not just to the buffalo, but how it affected native americans well, it is a parallel story. It is not just the buffalo story. Theres also a story of th Indigenous People of the country. They used everything. The native people, yes. Dozens of tribes. The buffalo is at the center you can imagine what if all of a sudden all of our Grocery Stores and our churches and temples and mosques were taken away. Just gone. They lost the thing that sustained them physically, but more importantly in a way, the thing that had sustained them spiritually, the center of their creation stories, so were in a big job of repair right now. Native peoples are resilient and americans woke up and said, you know what, we cannot kill this thing that is now kind of a symbol of us, right . We put in the buffalo nickel with the indian on the front and the buffalo on the tail. We are beginning to romanticize and fetishize something we spent a century trying to destroy. So this is a story of how we come back from the brink. You come back from the brink, and it is a complex story because of how the buffalo were brought back to the brink. There were songs written aboutee it f p where the buffalo roam in legions. The stories of the heroes of that, their stories are complex as well. Some people save the buffalo for the right reason a lot of americans for the right reason but also a lot of people did it for the wrong reasons. Theyre about White Supremacy and the total subjugation of the thing. We saved the buffalo in zoos and in corrals there are 380,000. Theyre not in danger of going challenge for the future, the third act that will be written by extinct. Now do we have the will and the courage working with native tribes over 80 of them have herds to create a space where they could be wild and free and thats that is the challenge for the future, the third act that will be written by us, anyone in the sound of our voice, and by our children and our childrens children. I just want to also say that for you this is like a mini viewing because it is only four hours long lets just say that ken, over your many, many years as a documentarian, we started adding up the numbers if you look at nearly 40 films, it is 250 hours.
