But the legacy of the event is no longer just about the horrific mess as officials are now investigating at least one death in the nevada desert. Plus, the latest on a stunning and senseless killing at a college in texas. A 21yearold student shot pointblank by a man he didnt even know. As chilling as that was, wait until you hear what the alleged gunman said he planned to do next. And President Biden addressing Union Workers in philadelphia today, celebrating the American Economy as the strongest in the world. So why dont the American People believe it . We want to begin with the shocking and now deadly situation at the burning man festival. One person is dead and others are stranded as rain has turned it into a major, muddy mess. Were just getting an update here, liz, many of the revelers being able to leave soon. Tell us more about what were learning. Reporter this is an update just moments ago from burning man organizer es. Weve been waiting for this and they said they have decided that the weather is cooperating. Its cleared up. The mud is starting to dry up enough that they do feel confident and comfortable that they can again the exodus today so at noon pacific, so in a few hours now, were going to start seeing the 72,000 people still at Black Rock City, about three miles from here. Were at the entrance of burning man right now. Theyre all going to start making their way out. Even if years with perfect, clear weather, this can take several hours. I talk to somebody today who said it took them 12 hours to go from Black Rock City to this entrance where we are now. And this is without the mud issues. About a mile south of here, there have been a steady stream of cars starting the make their way. Cars have already been leaving but have been going so slowly. One by one. Making their way around flooded areas. This was really a chaotic scene for a lot of people. We talked to a lot of attendees here and she told us what it had been like to be here. I think i could be trapped here for a couple more days. Whats it been like . Its so muddy. Getting around, like just walking to your tent in the mud is impossible. Maybe not the burning Man Experience you were expecting . Well, its a little bit like a raining Man Experience. And organizers even created a wet safety guide to help people live and deal with this mud. Just unprecedented shelter in place here. Now, of course the folks who come to burning man at some level, they kind of expect any kind of issues with elements. Last year, it was really windy and dusty. A lot of people say hey, its just part of the burning Man Experience. I talked to a man yesterday at the reno airport who was literally in tears or almost in tears because he was so excited to be making his way home. He said it was so uncomfortable and miserable to be in this mushy, wet mud. Otherwise, i think a lot of people are in good spirits saying this is part of the burning man way. One long time burner told me that long time burners are made for this. Taking it the stride. Thank you. Want to turn now to nbc meteorologist Michelle Grossman with the latest on the forecast and it seems the weather is in fact letting up. Talk us through it. This is a sixhour loop. Dry over the past six hours. Extended forecast looks nice. Lots of sunshine. Typical for the desert. Not typical is what they saw friday, saturday, and sunday. We saw two months of rain in just 24 hours. Its. 8 inches. Doesnt sound like a lot to us, but in the desert, it becomes runoff. We dont have vegetation or the soil to soak it up. Were used to the green, the yellow. Thats off to the east. Thats going to continue to move off to the east so were expecting dry conditions by the burn time tonight around 9 00. Cool with temperatures in the low 60s. Looking much, much better then the extended forecast looks to be lot of sunshine. Now that weather is off to the east. Now were talking about the northern plains. We have some lightning as well. Expecting the chance for some really gusty storms. Some hail as well. Radar showing us we have slow downs along the gulf coast. Thats kind of some moisture coming off the Gulf Of Mexico and thats what were going to see throughout the Afternoon Add well. Were looking at Business Mark to rapid city. Where you see the yellow shading. Thats the likeliest chance of seeing gusty storms. Were looking at winds gusting over 60 miles an hour. Lots of rainfall, too. Flooding in some spots especially where you see brighter colors of reds, oranges, yellows. Also, looking at record heat. We could see temperatures into the 90s and also the 100s. Michelle, thank you. Appreciate it. Want to turn now to another Senseless Act of gun violence. A Texas Community is in mourning after a College Student was shot and killed in an apparent random assault in fort worth on friday. Joining us to talk more about this is shaq brewster. What are the police saying an the motivation behind this killing . Hi there. Police are saying there is no clear motive to this tragedy. This shooting happened just two week after the start of classes at tsu, tcu rather, an police are now saying this was a senseless shooting. I want you to watch our latest story. Heartbreak this morning at Texas Christian University after 21yearold student wes smith was shot and killed friday in fort worth. This was just something that was senseless and shouldnt have happen. According to a police affidavit, smith was outside a popular bar in the college town when the suspect, matthew purdy, approached him. He shot smith three times, once in the stomach, once in shoulder and the final shot in the head. The suspect telling police he wanted to make sure he was dead. Police say he then chased two eyewitnesses, hitting one in the back of the head with a gun, causing a laceration. We were able to apprehend the suspect shortly there after and he was arrested and detained. He is facing murder charges, saying he confessed. According to documents, officers used video and witnesses to identify purdy as the suspect. Investigators say he admitted to officers he would have killed again if he hadnt run out of ammunition. Hes in custody, where he belongs. Smith, a double major, was also a red shirt walk on for the tcu Football Team his freshman year. His father telling the star telegram he was an all american guy. Students and faculty on campus grappling with the senseless loss. He was kind. Theres a real sense of loss about how wonderful he was and the fact hes gone now. Loved ones say that smith was a man of deep faith. Even leading bible study for his fraternity. Meanwhile, according to those police documents, it appears that purdy still was armed even after he was arrested. They say that an officer noticed a lot of movement in the back of the patrol car, opened the door and heard he attempted to drop weapons, or pieces of the gun, out of the door of that patrol car. Shaq brewster, thank you. All right. Charm offensive. President biden using the Labor Day Holiday to push his administrations economic plan. The question is will it work . Up first, breaking news. Steve harwell, the former lead singer of smash mouth, has died. He was probably best known for the hit song, allstar, which earned the Band A Grammy Nomination Back in 2000. He cofounded the band in 1994 but left two years ago. His manager says he died of liver failure. He was just 56 years old. Msnbc reports is just back in 60 seconds. Well be right back.

In what has become a regular occurrence across this country, President Biden spent the early part of labor day touting his agenda and trying to convince americans that bidenomics is working. As i said 1,000 times, there is no quit in america none. All i hear from my Friends On The Other Side what they say is wrong with america. They keep telling us americas failing. Theyre wrong. America has the strongest economy in the world right now, today. Despite that, a new poll from the Wall Street Journal Showing Americans are on a different page. 59 of people disapproving of the way the president is handling the economy. 37 approving. 63 disapproving of the way that he has dealt with inflation. Want to bring in Kelly Odonnell covering the president for us from the white house. Kelly, it is great to talk to you, my friend. What is the plan here to try and turn these poll numbers around . With the Economy Fairing fairly well. Well thats where the disconnect really is stark for this white house because they look at the same data that were looking at and they see a very positive picture. For example, we just had the jobless report. It has been 19 months with unemployment below 4 . That hasnt happened in 50 years. Inflation has been coming down. And there are real strengths in the economy and the president argues trying to bring back manufacturing, circuits and Circuit Boards and that kind of technology thats a part of many Different Industries in the products we buy, having that manufactured in the united states. So theres a lag, one the white house knows is there, between what people with feeling about the economy and what is actual data and policy that supports the strength that exists in the economy. The president today also took a bit of a dig at his predecessor. He doesnt always refer to former President Trump and rarely does so by name but pointed out that the former guy as he calls him, is real estate builder but didnt build much in the united states. That was sort of a notable standout as the president was in Union Workers in philadelphia who were from three different states for this labor day. Unions at least at their national levels, in the always all of the workers, but they support the president and had been a big part of his core constituency throughout his career. Kelly, thank you. Appreciate it. Want to talk more about this. With president and Executive Director of the center for American Project Action Fund and fred hicks as well. Youre looking at the jobs numbers. Doing fairly well. Inflation seems to be coming down because of what Jerome Powell has been doing. Even wage growth. All that being said, its still not resognating with the American People. Why do you think that is . One is peoples perception of the economy which has become very partisan. We live in an era where no matter how good the economy is, a 50year low for unemployment. Republicans are still going to have a negative view. I think data point im really encouraged by is what do people say about their personal financial situation and a Quinnipiac Poll recently showed that 60 of americans say their personal financial situation is good or very good. And so i think there is a lag between how people see the economy versus whats going on in their lives and i think thats going to be the real measure of how people start to feel over time. I want to talk about the Polling Numbers weve been seeing. Im sure youre seeing the same numbers. If you have a General Election matchup first of all, the former president and President Biden are in a dead heat. 46 to 46 and then there is how they are seen. A list we just saw on our screens. Which phrase describes the candidate well . A record of white house too old to run for president , biden. Unpack this and what stands out to you in this . First of all, people always have a glorified view of someone who used to be in office. Peoples poll numbers go up once they leave office so its not surprising people would see that and feel that way. The other thing is that america is pretty much a 48, 48, 49 country. So youre only talking about maybe 2 to 3 thats up for grabs. So its not surprising to see that either. I would be surprised if the numbers were very different. The thing thats really important to democrats and to the administration is that a likability and honestly issue. And when we think about the number of indictments donald trump is facing if hes a nominee, the honesty and likability will become a huge factor. At the end of the day, if people feel good personally and they trust the leader and feel the leader is honest, theyre going to go in that direction. Even though as a democrat, i love to see bigger and better numbers, this reflects where america is. If this holds, the administration will respond. Im glad you brought up the indictments because i want to read for you a quote from the atlantic saying this. All signs suggest that biden and trump would be begin a Perspective Rematch considerably diminished from their first encounter, like boxers reentering the ring. In a second bout, the result may turn less on the stronger candidate than on whose weaknesses are unacceptable to states who will decide the outcome. As kelly just mentioned, right, we have now begun to see inklings of the current president going after his predecessor. Naming him. Especially when it comes to the economy. We have yet to hear him go after him when it comes to these indictments. The looming trials that are in his future. Is it time for President Biden to double down on this considering this analysis from the atlantic . A few things on that. First of all, the election is still more than a year ago. I think theres no question that we are going to have plenty of conversation in this country about Donald Trumps criminality, his efforts to overturn free and fair election. So im not anxious about the fact that were not talking about that. I think that will be a point of the conversation. The other point you mentioned is that atlantic piece suggests that both candidates go into this diminished. That part i find discouraging because since the last election, one candidate, likely frontrunner in the republican party, tried to overturn an election, lead a violent insurrection, put in core in place that stripped away a fundamental right for women in this country. Yet the other nominee has actually led us out of a pandemic. The u. S. Economy is stronger than any other economy in the world right now thanks to joe bidens leadership and so i actually think part of this is a problem on the democratic side where you see these number, you see democrats not as excited. Thats a problem on our side we have to fix. Their messaging . Ill be honest. I think it was an element of age ism going on here where because of the president s age, which seems to occupy a lot of the conversation and people, you know, understandably wanting maybe a fresh face, were overlooking the actual performance of this president. He has shown in international relations, organizing a continent in defense of the aggression in russia, getting us out of the pandemic, addressing gun violence, showing empathy, i think we should be ourselves more heartened by the leader that joe biden has been for this country for the last two and a half years. I think as more democrats come home, you see this in a lot of polling. Part of that softness is in democrats not being as confident right now. I think that gives me hope that democrats will sort of come home in waves. I saw you shaking your head there in agreement and fred, i want you to weigh in. Before i do, i want to play some sound from Meet The Press yesterday with chuck todd with Franklin Fore asked about the president who said something i think really interesting. I want you to hear what he had to say about the president then well talk. If at the end of this year, joe biden announces hes not going to seek a second term, based on your reporting, how much of a surprise would it be . It would be a surprise to me, but it wouldnt be a total surprise. Wouldnt be a total shock. No. Why . When he talks about his life, he used this word faith constantly. Joe biden is a very religious guy and fate is a word loaded with religious meaning and he always talks about he can see where fate goes. Its the e lip cease in the sentence when he talks about his own future. I wonder fred as were talking about this, right, and you think about what navin just said, talking about this element of ageism in this conversation that he thinks is going on, how that plays into what we just heard there from franklin. First, i expect the president will run for reelection. It would make it difficult for anyone else to get on the ballot. It takes time. We know that. I agree. I think theres an element of ageism thats at play here and i think its starting to wear on President Biden. This is a job hes wanted for 40 plus years. He finally has it and hes thrown himself into it. Im here in georgia on the ground where everything is happening with Fulton County indictments and really the source of everything that happened on january 6th. This is labor day. Lets talk about this. Here in georgia, the Biden Harris Administration in the clean energy space, you have over 15,000 jobs coming online with the hyundai and rivian plants. They represent about 17 billion in jobs and revenue for the state of georgia. That is a direct result of the Biden Harris Administration. Then investments from the film industry. Sag and afstra unions. The thousands of jobs that are here and will be influenced with the elections here in georgia. We think about the 1179 or so vote margin of 2020, given the work the administration has done and given the investments in clean energy and the jobs and labor jobs that theyve brought here, i fully think they have the ability to grow that margin next year if they can talk about that and if democrats, if we can get out of our own way and as just mentioned, stop thinking so much about how old President Biden is and look at the actual record. Their list of accomplishments between President Biden, senator ossoff, their work here has been amazing and we need to talk about it. Look at those poll numbers. The numbers are worse right now in georgia, the gap between trump and bind. Thats largely because democrats have not come home. The other stuff, listen. Trials are going to take place between november and the election. President biden will continue giving his energy on the trail and democrats will eventually come home. Fred hick, thank you. Navin, thank you for displaying what looks to be your childrens artwork behind you. Youve got to love that. Happy labor day to you both. Man hunt. A convicted killer on the loose in pennsylvania.

A florida lawmaker is expected to appeal to redraw a congressional map. The plan was spearheaded by republican governor and 2024 president ial candidate ron desantis with a judge saying it violated the State Constitution and diminished the influence of black voters. Want to bring in marisa in miami for us. Former florida congressman, carlos, to talk more about this. Walk us through the redistricting plan in general. And why this judge is saying it is unconstitutional. So lets start with the district at the heart of all of this. This is district five. This was at the center of the lawsuit and the judges conclusion when you read it. So last year, Governor Desantis did something unprecedented for a governor. He redrew the map. Called a special session, used his veto power to make sure his new version of the map was used. We saw the black representative, al lawson in that district, his district was carved up. His constituents were splintered into what were historically right leaning areas. Voter rights grouped sued and what we saw on saturday in one state judge ruled in their favor. Because of an amendment voted in 2010 voted by a majority, there is constitutional precedent. Now, we spoke to an organization that has offered support to the plaintiffs on this case on how that constitutional precedent was a major factor here. What makes florida unique and different is that the florida voters support a fair district amendment. In florida, it says you cant take away a district or retrogress on a district that allows for minority voters to elect a member of their choice. Is it a very clear case . I wouldnt say its a standard case. Its crystal clear. Now, we have reached out to the state. We havent heard back but understand the state has all intentions of moving forward with an appeal and their deadline to do so is today and if that happens, this would then go to the state Supreme Court. And while this ruling on saturday by the state judge is being celebrated as a win by these voter rights groups, especially the ones we have spoken to, the ones that are plaintiffs in this case, this is far from over. This is still very early in the process. Keep in mind that the state Supreme Court is made up of desantis appointed judges. This could swing back in the other direction. But every really trying to do what they can to expedite this process because as we know, this could have a huge impact on the 2024 Congressional Elections and ultimately, the balance of power. This is something not just being fought in florida. The battles are being fought in neighboring states. In the south, were looking at alabama. Georgia. Theres a trial that starts tomorrow with the Redistricting Battle so this is just one example of many battles being fought across the country that could have huge implications for 2024. I want to talk about the potential impact here in just a moment congressman, but first and foremost, talk to me about how unusual it is for the governor to insert himself in this process providing essentially his own version of this redistricting map. I want to underscore something marisa said. This was extraordinary because desantis intervened but not only did he intervene, he intervened against the republican legislature. Republican legislative leaders in tallahassee had reached an agreement that included a map that preserved former congressman lawsons district and the governor said, no way. Were not taking this map. Here is the map that we are going to pass. A lot of people were shocked but thats what they did. Its extraordinary in a number of ways. I know we see in many states when theres a legislature dominated by one party and the governor of a different party, there are some disagreements when it comes to redistricting. Its very rare when the government is controlled by one party. Thats what happened here in florida. We heard marisa talking about the potential appeal here, also bringing up the potential impact for 2024. When you look ahead to 2024 and how this fight is not over, how crucial is it, especially when it comes to Voting Rights . For these maps to be struck down . Thats right. And it is early. But there are some republicans in the legislature, i have been in conversations with them, they believe that ultimately, they will have to pass a new map that does guarantee more Minority Access districts. So some of the legislatures arent bullish about the direction this case is heading in when you think about the fact that the house is controlled by republicans. Not only a handful of votes. This kind of changed in the state of florida could have major implications. It could change who controls the u. S. House of representatives. So this case is one of the most important in the country right now and it has to be followed closely because it could determine the future of control of the u. S. House of representatives. By the way, thats something Governor Desantis did after the fact. He boasted that republicans can thank him for their majority in the house. Former congressman, thank you. Marisa, thank you as well.

Covid making a comeback here in the united states, were seeing this significant rise in cases and hospitalizations. There were over 15,000 new covid Patient Hospitalizations for the week ending august 19th, which is get this, an 18. 8 jump from the week before and a staggering almost 90 increase over the past month. Want to bring in dr. Gupta, a Pull Monoologist and msnbc medical contributor to talk more about this. Dr. Gupta, youre back talking Ability Covid once again. Feels a little bit like deja vu. How concerned are you about this latest . This is what we expect as we head into colder months is that viruses like covid, like flu, rsv, terms your viewers are familiar with, they tend to propagate as the air gets colder and drier. We need to be vigilant and prepared. You highlighted the fact that er visits are up. Up to 2 of visits because of covid. 20,000 hospitalizations just this last week due to covid. Im worried about that because were still in summer and we havent seen cold, dry air across most of the country yet. This is a concerning place to start from because frankly, most of the country is vulnerable. Has not gotten boosted or gotten the first vaccine. Are the same types of people being hospitalized as they were way back when . Immunocompromised, the elderly . Thats what were seeing at the larger trend but as this virus continues to change, well keep calling it Something Different every few months but its continuing to change. If you get exposed to it, its likely to cause some symptoms and if youre 40 and youre not vaccinated, youre likely to end up in the hospital if not the icu. Depends upon your level of protection. Yes, at scale, were seeing somebody thats higher risk or has multiple comorbidities to still end up in the hospital. Critical to get boosted. You talk about the newer variants. Eg. 5, 286 i should say. We know theyre more contagious. This is a virus that continues to change, gets more sticky, frankly. If you breathe it in, more likely to attach to your nostrils, to be as discreet about it as possible and cause infection. I think your team has a graphic that i want all your viewers to see if possible. Its about what you should do. If youre older than 60 or somebody thats medically higher risk, get your rsv vaccine right now. Were going to have updated flu shots and covid 19 shots by the end of september. You can get those at the same time. Rsv vaccine shot right now. If youre otherwise in good health and less than 60 years of age, covid, flu shots, you can get them at the same time. You dont need to get the rsv vaccine, but thats critical. Lastly, just plug in hospitals across the country, the one i work at, others, we should all be masking. Mandatory masking for hospital staff. We shouldnt wait and be reactive. Time to be proactive. Bring back strategic masking. Especiallymasking, especially in hospital settings, especially in the colder months. My kids going back to school next week. As you know, kids back in school. They spread viruses nonstop. How do you protect yourself . This is the question for which there is no perfect answer because some kids are young enough, they cant wear a mask. Not to say were going to be bringing back masks in schools here. Again, if your kid is somebody thats as mat tick or medically higher risk, you want to make sure theyre boosted. Booster rates all across the country for the things we have vaccines for are low. We want to make sure thats number one. For parents out there, especially if your kids arent familiar with hand hygiene or if theyre sneezing, to sneeze in their elbow. There are patterns and behaviors we can teach our kids to stay as healthy as possible. Weve seen School Shutdowns in parts of the country because of covid cases really rising. This is something to take seriously. Theres a lot of misinformation that still continues to be out there. Last week for those that are high risk, something ive noticed for those on the other end of the spectrum, medically higher risk, use of treatments like paxlovid are low. Once theyre already sick, theyre struggling to getting prescriptions f. Youre over 60 and have a n kroic condition, make sure you have a plan, the ability to get treatment should you test positive. Be proactive in your health care plan. Were living in an era of Respiratory Epidemics and pandemics. Dr. Vin gupta, as always, thank you.
