>> WE'RE COMING ON THE AIR
WITH NEW STEPS TO PRESIDENT
BIDEN TO TRY TO PUNISH RUSSIA
AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
BASICALLY POINTED TO THE REST
OF THE WORLD AND SAYING, HEY,
NATO IS UNITED AGAINST YOU.
AND A NEW CALL LIVE NEAR
PEOPLE OUT OF THE G 20 WILL
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS NOW SAYING
THE U.S. WILL DO IF RUSSIA
DOES USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS, IF
THAT WERE TO HAPPEN. PLUS, THE
EXCLUSIVE STORY OF AN AMERICAN
PASTOR WHO WAS KIDNAPPED IN
UKRAINE. WE'VE GOT THOSE
DRAMATIC DETAILS COMING UP
JUST AHEAD. AND NEW YORK'S
MAYOR GIVING A SPECIAL
EXEMPTION TO PLAYERS LIKE
KYREE IRVING WHO HAVE NOT BEEN
VACCINATED. WHY SOME ARE
SAYING, HEY, ERIC ADAMS THAT'S
A DOUBLE STANDARD FOR THE RICH
AND THE FAMOUS. WE'VE GOT THAT
COMING UP IN JUST A LITTLE
BIT. PLUS, NEW DETAILS ABOUT
SO-CALLED CHEMICALS IN THE
STUFF THAT YOUR FAST FOOD
COMES IN AND THOSE CLASSROOM
CULTURE WARS, YOU KNOW THAT
SOME OF THESE SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBERS ARE ON THE FRONT
LINES. WE'VE ALSO GOT A NEW
REPORT LAYING OUT THE DANGERS
KIDS COULD FACE INSIDE THE
METAVERSE OUR KATE GIVES US
THE BACK STORY OF WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN SHE WENT INSIDE
TO SEE FOR HERSELF LATER IN
THE SHOW.
>> HEY, I'M HALLE. AND JUST
NOW PRESIDENT BIDEN IS REALLY
PUSHING LEADERS ON THE WORLD
STAGE TO ISOLATE PRESIDENT
VLADIMIR PUTIN EVEN MORE. IT'S
A COUNTRY SHOWS NO SIGN OF
BACKING DOWN IN UKRAINE FOR
THE FIRST TIME THE PRESIDENT
SAYS HE WANTS TO BOOT RUSSIA
FROM THE G 20. THAT'S A GROUP
OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST
ECONOMIES AND HE'S ISSUING
THIS WARNING TO VLADIMIR PUTIN
THAT THE NATO AND THE WEST ARE
MORE UNITED THAN EVER. THE
SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING
MISTRESS TO STAY UNIFIED.
>> AND THE WORLD CONTINUE TO
FOCUS ON THROUGH THIS GUY IS.
>> AND SO HERE'S THE LATEST
MOVES THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
TAKING. HE SAYING THAT THE
U.S. ESSENTIALLY IS GOING TO
BE SANCTIONING A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE, MEMBERS OF THE RUSSIAN
PARLIAMENT THAT'S CALLED THE
DUMA OLIGARCHS FINANCIAL
EXECUTIVES. RUSSIAN DEFENSE
COMPANIES TOO. HE'S ALSO
SAYING THE U.S. WILL WELCOME
AS MANY AS A 100,000 REFUGEES
FROM UKRAINE. HE'S EXPECTED TO
MAYBE MAYBE MEET WITH SOME OF
THOSE REFUGEES TOMORROW WHEN
HE GOES TO POLAND. HE CAN ALSO
HEAD TO THE UKRAINIAN BORDER
AND HERE'S WHAT ELSE HE'S
ANNOUNCING MORE MONEY FOR
UKRAINE ABOUT A BILLION
DOLLARS FOR HUMANITARIAN
ASSISTANCE MORE THAN
11 BILLION DOLLARS OVER 5
YEARS FOR FOOD SECURITY AND
300, 20 MILLION DOLLARS FOR
WHAT THEY'RE CALLING HUMAN
RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY FUNDING
THAT ACTUALLY INCLUDES THINGS
FOR, FOR EXAMPLE, DOCUMENTING
THE POTENTIAL OF WAR CRIMES
COMMITTED BY RUSSIA. AND IT IS
THAT ISSUE THAT UKRAINIAN
PRESIDENT ZELENSKY VOLODYMYR
ZELENSKY IS FOCUSING ON. YOU
KNOW, HE ADDRESSED THIS NATO
SUMMIT HIMSELF EARLIER TODAY
AND HE CLAIMS THAT RUSSIA IS
USING PHOSPHORUS BOMBS THAT
SOMETHING THAT'S BANNED BY THE
GENEVA CONVENTIONS. NEITHER
NBC NEWS NOR THE PENTAGON CAN
CONFIRM THAT. BY THE WAY,
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE
TO NOTE. AND ONCE HE'S NOT
GIVING SPECIFIC EVIDENCE BUT
THE U.S. IS GETTING READY JUST
IN CASE PUTING DOES USE
CHEMICAL WEAPONS. HERE'S WHAT
THE PRESIDENT SAID ABOUT THAT.
>> WE WOULD RESPOND. WE WILL
RESPOND IF YOU USE IT NATURE
THE RESPONSE TO DO 10 ON THE
NATURE OF THE USE.
>> I WANT TO BRING IN JOSH
LETTERMAN WHO IS LIVE IN
BRUSSELS FOR US NOW. JOSH,
HERE'S THE THING HERE HAVE
BEEN SO MANY DEVELOPMENTS JUST
IN THE LAST FEW HOURS HERE AND
A COUPLE OF SIGNIFICANT
HEADLINES FROM PRESIDENT
BIDEN. YES, MORE MONEY, MORE
AID HEADED TO UKRAINE AND ALSO
FOR UKRAINIANS HERE COMING TO
UNITED STATES POTENTIALLY. BUT
ALSO THIS THREAT TO MAYBE KICK
RUSSIA OUT OF THE G 20 AND
THEN TO ISSUE SOME KIND OF
NATO RESPONSE. IF RUSSIA WERE
TO USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS. HE
DIDN'T GET SUPER SPECIFIC ON
THAT SECOND POINT, BUT HOW
MUCH IS RUSSIA PAYING
ATTENTION TO WHAT THE
PRESIDENT SAYING HERE.
>> WELL, CLEARLY THE RUSSIANS
ARE PAYING ATTENTION IN FACT,
THE RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY
SPOKESWOMAN HAS JUST PUT OUT A
STATEMENT HALEIGH CALLING IT
THIS DESIGN BIFURCATION OF
NATO ESSENTIALLY SAYING THAT
THIS WAS ALL A KABUKI THEATER
DESIGNED TO DRUM RUSSIA
PHOBIA, BUT THAT THERE'S
NOTHING NEW THAT'S COMING OUT
OF BUT CLEARLY YOU SEE THE
WEST, THE U.S. AND ITS ALLIES
STRUGGLING TO FIGURE OUT, OK,
WHAT CAN WE COME UP WITH.
THAT'S GOING TO PUT EVEN MORE
PRESSURE THAN EVERYTHING WE'VE
DONE SO FAR BECAUSE LET'S FACE
IT WHAT THEY'VE DONE SO FAR.
CLEARLY HASN'T CHANGED.
PRESIDENT PUTIN'S CALCULUS. SO
OKAY. COME KICK HIM OUT OF THE
G 20. WE KICK THEM OUT OF THE
G 8 WITHOUT CALLED THE G 7
AFTER THE LAST TIME RUSSIA
INVADED UKRAINE. BUT THERE'S
NOT A LOT OF INDICATION THAT
PRESIDENT PUTIN, PARTICULARLY
CARES IF HE'S KICKED OUT OF
THE CLOSET OF THE G 20. WE DO
KNOW THAT HE'S PAYING VERY
CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE
ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES FOR VERY
SIGNIFICANT.
>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT, JOSH.
YOU KNOW, TO ME BECAUSE IT HE
TO CALL THE G 8. WE DON'T CALL
THE G 8 ANYMORE BECAUSE OF
WHAT RUSSIA DID IN 2014,
THERE'S THIS OTHER PIECE OF
THIS WHICH IS SANCTIONS,
RIGHT. AND YOU HAVE FOR THE
FIRST TIME THE U.S.
SANCTIONING ESSENTIALLY LIKE
AN ENTIRE LEGISLATIVE BODY.
RIGHT. THE RUSSIAN DUMA
BASICALLY THEIR LAWMAKERS 300
PLUS OF THEM. AND THE
PRESIDENT WAS REALLY SPECIFIC
ABOUT THE INTENTION OF
SANCTIONS AND THE PURPOSE OF
SANCTIONS. I WANT TO PLAY A
LITTLE BIT OF WHAT HE HAD TO
SAY.
>> SANCTIONS NEVER DETER THE
MAKINGS OF SANCTIONS, THE
MAINTENANCE OF SANCTIONS. WE
WILL SUSTAIN WHAT WE'RE DOING,
NOT JUST NEXT MONTH. THE
FOLLOWING MONTH. BUT FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THIS ENTIRE YEAR
THAT'S WHAT STOP
>> AND THAT'S REALLY CLEAR
JOSH INTO INTO HOW THE
PRESIDENT VIEWS THESE PUNITIVE
ACTIONS.
>> YEAH. THE WHITE HOUSE HAS
BEEN GETTING KIND OF HUNG UP
HALEIGH ON THE TERMINOLOGY AND
DID BIDEN NEVER SAY DETER OR
NOT. BUT IT'S KIND OF MISSING
THE POINT, RIGHT. BECAUSE
EITHER SANCTIONS ARE MEANT TO
PREVENT A WAR FROM HAPPENING
OR THEY'RE NOT. AND YOU CAN'T
ON RING THAT BALANCE IDEA OF
MAINTENANCE OF SANCTIONS. AND
OVER TIME THE PRESSURE GROWS
OKAY. BUT THE WAR IS HAPPENING
SO YOU CAN MAKE AN ARGUMENT
THAT SANCTIONS ARE INTENDED TO
GET PUTIN TO PULL BACK A
WARRANT TO END THE WAR. BUT
THAT CERTAINLY WAS NOT THE
RATIONALE THAT THE WHITE HOUSE
AND OTHER AIDES HAD MADE WHEN
THEY PUT THE STATION'S INTO
PLACE. AND I THINK THAT THE
REASON THAT THEY'RE HAVING
DIFFICULTY EXPLAINING THIS IS
IN PART BECAUSE SO FAR WHAT
THEY WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE
SANCTIONS, WHICH IS AN END TO
THIS CONFLICT. HASN'T HAPPENED
REALLY QUICKLY BEFORE I LET
YOU GO, I WANT TO PLAY
SOMETHING THAT THE HEAD OF
NATO TOLD OUR OWN LESTER HOLT
TO JOSH. AS YOU WELL KNOW, IS
WITH YOU THERE IN BRUSSELS. HE
HAS TRAVELED OVERSEAS TO THE
PRESIDENT'S TRIP.
>> AS IT RELATES TO THIS
DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS
IF RUSSIA DOES ACTUALLY USE
CHEMICAL WEAPONS. I WANT TO
PLAY THAT THE NATO HEAD JENS
STOLTENBERG TOLD LESTER.
>> YOU TAKE ANYTHING OFF THE
TABLE WHEN IT COMES TO RESPOND
TO CHEMICAL WHAT WE ARE IN A
DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. SO IT'S
ON US STARTED TO SPECULATE THE
BALL TO THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
ONLY MAKE AN UNPREDICTABLE AND
DANGEROUS SITUATION EVEN MORE
DANGEROUS AND EVEN MORE
UNPREDICTABLE ON MANUS ISSUES
THAT WE ARE TO PROTECT AND
DEFEND TAKES TO DEFEND EVERY
INCH. AND THEY BUILT A TORY.
>> AND JUST REAL QUICK, THE
U.S. IS SEEMING TO GET READY
FOR WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE
WORST POSSIBLE CASE SCENARIO WITH THE SO-CALLED TIGER
WITH THE SO-CALLED TIGER
TEAMS. RIGHT.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
THERE. LOOKING AT WHAT IS THE
U.S. GOING TO DO IF RUSSIA
USES CHEMICAL WEAPONS,
BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS OR GOD
FORBID NUCLEAR WEAPONS. BUT
THEY HAVE BEEN VERY RELUCTANT
TO LAY THAT OUT VERY
SPECIFICALLY BIDEN SAYING
ESSENTIALLY WILL RESPOND IN
KIND TO WHATEVER THE RUSSIANS
DO. THEY DON'T WANT TO GET
BAITED INTO SOMETHING WITH THE
RUSSIANS. YOU SOMETHING
RELATIVELY MINOR IN THAT, YOU
KNOW, IT'S CALE OF WHAT THEY
COULD POTENTIALLY USE AND THEN
THE U.S. IN THE WEST GET
PULLED INTO SOME MAJOR
CONFRONTATION. BUT THE REALITY
IS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO
ARTICULATE EXACTLY WHAT THAT
RED LINE IS AND WHAT THE
CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE FOR
CROSSING IT. AND THAT IS
GETTING A LOT OF CRITICISM THE
WAY THIS IS PLAYED OUT IN THE
PAST, INCLUDING A PRESIDENT
BIDEN'S FORMER BOSS, FORMER
PRESIDENT OBAMA WHO SET A RED
LINE ABOUT CHEMICAL WEAPONS
USE IN SYRIA AND THEN DIDN'T
ENFORCE IT.
>> JUST LET HIM. AND THANK YOU
FOR BEING LIVE FOR US IN
BRUSSELS. I KNOW IT'S BEEN A
LONG DAY, A LONG NIGHT. IT'S
ANOTHER LONG DAY FOR YOU I
APPRECIATE YOU BEING WITH US.
THANKS. I WANT TO TURN NOW TO
AN EXCLUSIVE STORY OUT OF
SOUTHERN UKRAINE WHERE
APPARENTLY RUSSIANS HAD
KIDNAPPED AN AMERICAN CITIZEN
WORKING AS A MISSIONARY.
ACCORDING TO HIS FAMILY, WANT
TO SHOW YOU 50 YEAR-OLD
DIMITRI BOTH YOU AND HIS WIFE
HELEN. SHE TELLS OUR GABE
GUTIERREZ THAT THEIR SON HAS
NOT BEEN HEARD FROM IN NEARLY
A WEEK. HERE'S WHAT ALSO KNOW
ABOUT HIM. HE'S UKRAINIAN
IMMIGRANT BUT THE 2 OF THEM
HAVE LIVED IN UKRAINE FOR THE
PAST 30 YEARS. HIS INSTAGRAM
SAYS HE'S A PASTOR AT THE WORD
OF LIFE CHURCH AMELIE DE PAUL.
RIGHT NOW. NEITHER UKRAINIAN
OFFICIALS NOR THE STATE
DEPARTMENT. OUR COMMENTING. I
WANT TO BRING IN GABE
GUTIERREZ WHO IS IN LVIV
UKRAINE. AGAVE, I KNOW THAT
YOU'VE BEEN REPORTING ON THIS.
OUR NBC STATION IN DALLAS HAS
BEEN REPORTING ON THIS TO TALK
TO US ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW AND
WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE.
>> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, HOWIE.
WE'VE BEEN TRACKING. DEMETRIUS
FAMILY MEMBERS REALLY ACROSS
THE KXAN ASKED OUR STATION IN
DALLAS SPOKE WITH HIM NEAR FOR
WORTH OF JUST SPOKE WITH HIS
DAUGHTER WHO WAS LIVING IN
HAWAII RIGHT NOW. BUT THIS IS
QUITE A STORY HOW FAMILY SAYS
DIMITRI WAS ABDUCTED ON
SATURDAY WHEN 8 TO 10 ARMED
RUSSIAN TROOPS CAME TO A HOME
THEY WERE STAYING AND IN
MULTIPLE IN SOUTHERN UKRAINE
AND ESSENTIALLY WHY HE'S A
WIFE HER DAUGHTER THAT THE
TROOPS HAD ASKED IF HE WAS AN
AND SO THEY HAVEN'T HEARD FROM
HIM SINCE SATURDAY. AGAIN, OUR
STATION KXAN S IN DALLAS SPOKE
WITH HIS FATHER JUST A SHORT
TIME AGO. TAKE A LISTEN TO
WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.
>> MY SPEED BUT BUT THAT'S I
BET GOT THAT SHOT IS GOOD. BUT
TO MOTIONAL SOMETIME BE
LOOKING MY SON MORE STRONGER.
BUT THEY BELIEVE. THAT'S A
FEW. IF NOT SAFE HERE. IT'S A
WIN FOR HIM.
>> SO YEAH, HOW AT THIS POINT
THE FAMILY STILL WAITING FOR
WORD AND THEY HAVEN'T HEARD
FROM SINCE SATURDAY. HE WAS A
PASTOR OF A WELL KNOWN IN THAT
AREA. SO THEY DON'T KNOW. FOR
EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, HE HE MAY
HAVE BEEN PERHAPS TARGETED
BECAUSE HE WAS MAN THAT WAS
PERHAPS BECAUSE HE WAS WELL
KNOWN IN THE AREA. THEY WANTED
TO SEE IF HE WAS, YOU KNOW, A
BAD MOUTH THING. RUSSIAN
TROOPS IN ANY WAY. THEY TOOK
HIS FAMILY'S PHONES. THEY THEN
RETURNED THE PHONES A DAY OR 2
LATER. BUT STILL NO SIGN OF
THE WELL, THAT WAS EXACTLY THE
QUESTION I HAD FOR YOUR GAME.
IF THERE'S ANY SUSPICION THAT
HE WAS TARGETED BECAUSE.
>> HE'S AN AMERICAN. IN THIS
INSTANCE, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE
JUST DON'T KNOW. JUST, YOU
KNOW A LOT ABOUT THIS YET.
>> WE DON'T KNOW AT THIS
POINT. AND I DID SPEAK TO HIS
DAUGHTER WHO IS IN HAWAII AND
A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THIS
COUPLE YOU KNOW, ACCORDING TO
HIS FAMILY, HAD COME TO THE
UNITED STATES WHEN HE WAS 17
WITH HIS PARENTS. THEN SPENT A
FEW YEARS THERE MET HIS WIFE A
MOVE BACK TO UKRAINE. BUT HE
TRAVEL FAIRLY OFTEN BACK 2
UNITED STATES AT LEAST TWICE A
YEAR TO SEE FAMILY. THEY SAY
HE ALSO IN THE UNITED STATES.
A LOT OF FAMILY AROUND THE
TEXAS AIR NEAR FORT WORTH. BUT
AGAIN, HE ACTUALLY HIS
DAUGHTER TOLD US VERY
INTERESTINGLY HOWIE, THAT HE
ACTUALLY LIVED FOR A TIME IN
THE CRIMEA REGION. IT ANNEX
UNTIL WAS ANNEXED IN 2014 AND
THE LEFT BACK THEN BECAUSE HE
WAS A U.S. CITIZEN. SO STILL A
LOT OF QUESTIONS. WHEN HALEIGH
THERE IS A STATE DEPARTMENT AS
YOU MAY HAVE MENTIONED HAS NOT
COMMENTED ON THIS. THEY ARE
AWARE OF THOSE REPORTS.
UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS HAVE NOT
COMMENTED ON THIS EITHER. BUT
MEANWHILE, YOU KNOW, THE
FAMILIES WAITING FOR WORD IS
CAN BE THE CASE IN THESE
SITUATIONS YOU IT IS A VERY
SENSITIVE TIME BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
STATUS OF ANY OF THOSE
NEGOTIATIONS ARE FUNNY. BUT
HE'S BEEN IN CONTACT. WITH THE
RUSSIANS. YOU KNOW, THE FAMILY
JUST JUST WAITING WAITING TO
IF THEY IF THEY CAN HEAR, YOU
KNOW, ANYTHING COMES OF OF
THESE DEVELOPMENTS. AND IT'S
JUST DEVASTATING TO KNOW THAT
HE IS. AND, YOU IN A PLACE
WHERE HE CAN BE REACHED. WE
SPOKE WITH HIS WIFE BY PHONE.
SHE STILL HAS. SPOTTY CELL
PHONE SERVICE. SHE IS STILL IN
THE AREA. BUT AT THIS POINT
THEY JUST.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE SHORT
TERRIFYING FOR THIS FAMILY
GAMES TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE HE IS. AND AS YOU KNOW,
THERE ARE THESE CONTINUE TO BE
REPORTS THAT WHILE RUSSIA IS
ADVANCING ON CITIES LIKE
MARIUPOL CONTINUING TO SHOW
THEIR THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY
IS PUTTING UP SOME RESISTANCE
GAVE. WE'RE REALLY GLAD TO
HAVE YOU THERE ON THE GROUND
IN WAS YEAH. GO.
>> AND WE'RE REALLY QUICKLY
HOW THEY FORGOT TO MENTION,
YOU KNOW, THIS. IT'S SOMETHING
ELSE IS THAT'S RAISING ALARMS
HERE IS THAT THIS IS THE SAME
CITY WHERE EARLIER THIS MONTH,
THE MAYOR WAS ABDUCTED AND HE
WAS LATER RELEASED AS A PART
OF A PRISONER SWAP REMAINS TO
BE SUIT SEEN WHETHER, YOU
KNOW, THE RUSSIANS. COULD BE
TRYING TO TRADE HIM FOR
SOMETHING ELSE. BUT THAT'S A
QUESTION. BUT YES, THE MAYOR
OF THIS TOWN JUST A FEW WEEKS
AGO WAS RELEASED AFTER BEING
ABDUCTED FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
PEOPLE BECOMING POLITICAL
LEVERAGE IN THIS INSTANCE
GAME. IT IS DIFFICULT TO HEAR
ABOUT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING WITH US. APPRECIATE IT.
>> TURNING NOW TO SOME NEWS
BACK HERE AT WASHINGTON.
>> AND SENATE MINORITY LEADER
MITCH MCCONNELL IN JUST THE
LAST HOUR ANNOUNCE HOW HE
PLANS TO VOTE ON PRESIDENT
BIDEN'S SUPREME COURT PICK.
AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU THE
ANSWER IS PROBABLY NOT GOING
TO SHOCK YOU BECAUSE HE'S GOT
A VOTE. NO. HERE'S WHAT HE
SAID.
>> THING. WE SAW THOSE. WE
CONVINCE ME THAT EITHER
PRESIDENT BIDEN OR JUDGE
OPTIONS DEEPLY INVESTED FAR
LEFT FAN CLUB HAVE STRUCTURE.
I WILL VOTE AGAINST NOMINEE ON
THE SENATE FLOOR.
>> JACKSON'S CONFIRMATION
HEARINGS ENDED TODAY AFTER
MORE THAN 33 HOURS OF
TESTIMONY AND 4 DAYS AND
HEARING FROM JACKSON AND HER
SUPPORTERS IN FRONT OF THE
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
GARRETT HAKE IS ALL OVER THIS
AND JOINS ME NOW FROM CAPITOL
HILL. GARRETT, I FEEL LIKE A
LITTLE BIT LIKE IT'S THE
HEADLINE OF LIKE DOG BITES MAN
LIKE NOBODY THOUGHT MITCH
MCCONNELL WAS GOING TO
ACTUALLY SUPPORT JUDGE KETANJI
BROWN JACKSON, BUT HE IS OUT
HERE MAKING IT OFFICIAL. THERE
IS AN OPEN QUESTION NOW, WILL
ANY REPUBLICAN GET ON BOARD TO
SUPPORT JUDGE JACKSON. LET'S
BE CLEAR. DEMOCRATS DON'T NEED
IT. THEY HAVE ENOUGH VOTES ON
THEIR OWN, ASSUMING THAT THEY
ALL STICK TOGETHER AND IT
SOUNDS LIKE THEY WILL. AND
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WILL
BREAK THE TIE. SYMBOLICALLY,
DO YOU THINK THEY COULD PEEL
OFF SOME OF THESE MORE
MODERATE REPUBLICANS LIKE
SUSAN COLLINS. I ASSUME
LINDSEY GRAHAM, YOU KNOW, YOU
TALK TO HIM TODAY. DOESN'T
TELL YOU GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> HISTORY SUGGESTS IT'S
POSSIBLE THAT DEMOCRATS COULD
PICK UP A COUPLE OF REPUBLICAN
VOTES HERE IN FAIRLY RECENT
HISTORY. NOW MCCONNELL COMING
OUT AND SAYING HE'S A NO VOTE
WHILE NOT SURPRISING. IS IT
IMPORTANT STARTS, RIGHT. YEAH,
ABSOLUTELY. AND IT STARTS TO
SHAKE LOOSE THE 95% OR SO OF
SENATORS WHO HAVE KNOWN
PROBABLY SINCE THE MOMENT THAT
JUDGE JACKSON WAS ANNOUNCED AS
THE NOMINEE, HOW THEY WERE
GOING TO VOTE. BUT NOW FEEL
LIKE TO CUT THAT THE
CONFIRMATION HEARING IS BEHIND
THEM, THAT PERHAPS THEIR OWN
INDIVIDUAL MEETING WITH HER IS
BEHIND THEM. THEY CAN START TO
SAY HOW THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE
NOW FOR REPUBLICANS WHO ARE
LIABLE TO VOTE IN HER FAVOR. I
START WITH TO SUSAN COLLINS
AND LISA MURKOWSKI. BOTH HAVE
VOTED FOR NEARLY 90% OF JOE
BIDEN'S JUDICIAL NOMINEES.
BOTH HAVE MET WITH JUDGE
JACKSON AND SUSAN COLLINS HAS
COME OUT AND SPOKEN QUITE
FAVORABLY ABOUT HER DOWN THE
3RD PERSON WHO VOTED FOR JUDGE
JACKSON IN HER CONFIRMATION OF
HIS CURRENT ROLE IS THE OUT
FOR MENTION LINDSEY GRAHAM.
AND IF YOU WATCH LINDSEY
GRAHAM OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF
DAYS. HE'S REALLY BEEN JUDGE
JACKSON'S PRIMARY ANTAGONIST.
HE WAS GOING AFTER AND
DEFENDING DETAINEES. HE WAS
GOING AFTER HER ON FOR
SENTENCING IN HIS CHILD CASES.
WHEN I CAUGHT UP TO HIM TODAY.
I POINT OUT TO HIM, SENATOR,
THIS WAS ALL STUFF. YOU KNEW
WHEN YOU VOTED FOR HER THE
LAST TIME.
>> HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?
LISTEN TO WHAT HE TOLD ME.
>> I DIDN'T EVEN GO TO THE
YEAR. KNOW SHE'S QUALIFIED TO
BE ON THE CIRCUIT COURT.
>> THIS IS A DIFFERENT GAME
SEE KIND WHY DO YOU KEEP
SAYING YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING
>> YOU KNOW, MY TERMS.
>> SO WHILE GRAHAM MAY WANT TO
SQUEEZE SOME DRAMA OUT OF HIS
NO VOTE HERE. YOU SEE HIM
SAYING A SUPREME COURT SEAT IS
DIFFERENT. I THINK THAT COULD
POTENTIALLY ALSO CAUGHT THE
OTHER WAY WITH SOME OTHER
REPUBLICAN SENATORS
SPECIFICALLY. I'M THINKING
ABOUT FOLKS LIKE MAYBE ROY
BLUNT R RICHARD BURR ARE
SENATORS WHO ARE RETIRING.
THEY DON'T CARE WHAT SARA LEE,
WHAT THE MOST CONSERVATIVE OF
THEIR VOTERS THINK ANYMORE AND
MAYBE THEY WANT A VOTE FOR THE
FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN ON THE
SUPREME COURT TO BE PART OF
THEIR LEGACY. NEITHER OF THEM
HAS SAID HOW THEY'RE GOING TO
VOTE THERE BE WATCHING NEXT
WEEK OUT.
>> GARRETT HAKE WILL BE
WATCHING YOU NEXT WEEK TO
THANK YOU MUCH FROM CREATE IT.
SO NOT LONG BEFORE WE CAME ON
THE AIR, WE LEARNED OF THIS
NEW LAWSUIT FROM FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP AGAINST HIS
FORMER POLITICAL RIVAL, FORMER
SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY
CLINTON AND THE DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND A WHOLE
BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE. SO WHY
IS HE SUING? WELL, HE WANTS
24 MILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGE
OVER THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION THAT DONALD TRUMP WON
THIS LAWSUIT CLAIMS THE
CLINTON AND THE DNC WERE
CONSPIRING TO QUOTE WE'VE A
FALSE NARRATIVE THAT THE
FORMER PRESIDENT, HIS CAMPAIGN
WORKING WITH RUSSIA TO RIG THE
ELECTION BECAUSE THIS GAME SO
CRAZY THAT, QUOTE, THE EVENTS
OF WATERGATE PALE IN
COMPARISON. NO REACTION YET
FROM SECRETARY CLINTON OR THE
DNC BUT WANT TO BRING IN PETE
WILLIAMS HERE. OKAY. WHAT DO
WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.
>> YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT IT'S
A 108 PAGES LONG BROADER WITH
YOU. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS IT
PROPS THINK IT'S IT'S FILED
AGAINST NOT JUST DEMOCRATS,
NOT JUST HER CAMPAIGN BUT ALSO
AGAINST THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE
CHRISTOPHER STEELE DOSSIER AND
THEN FORMER OFFICIALS OF THE
FBI AND JOHN DOE'S AND
CORPORATIONS YET TO BE NAMED.
SO ON THE ONE THE LAWSUIT DOES
SORT OF AGGREGATE A NUMBER OF
COMPLAINTS THAT THE FORMER
PRESIDENT HAS MADE OVER THE
YEARS ABOUT PEOPLE TRYING TO
CONNECT HIM TO THE RUSSIANS.
HE POINTS OUT THAT THERE WERE
MISSTEPS ALONG THE WAY THAT
THE STEELE DOSSIER CONTAINED A
LOT OF THINGS THAT WE NOW KNOW
WERE FALSE THAT WHEN THE FBI
APPLIED FOR THE CARTER FAY A
CARTER PAGE FISA WARRANT.
THERE WERE THINGS IN THERE
THAT WEREN'T TRUE. HE CLAIMS
THAT DATA WAS STOLEN FROM HIS
CAMPAIGN THAT VIOLATES THE
FEDERAL LAW. SO HE PUTS THIS
ALL TOGETHER IN A CUISINART
ARE KEY PRESSES POLLS AND OUT
POPS A 100 PLUS. YES, AND I
THINK I THINK SORT OF YOU
KNOW, IT'S THERE. THERE ARE
SOME THINGS IN HERE THAT THAT
HE SAYS THAT ARE TRUE, THAT
THEY WERE DONE TO GET THAT
WERE DONE AGAINST HIM THAT
WERE WRONG. HE'S RIGHT ABOUT
THAT. THE CHALLENGE IT SEEMS
TO ME IS NUMBER ONE, TRYING TO
CONNECT THESE VARIOUS WEBS.
THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN HERE, THE
FBI HERE, THE STEAL PEOPLE
HERE AND TO SAY THEY WERE ALL
IN THIS HUGE CONSPIRACY IS A
STRETCH. HE IS RIGHT ABOUT ONE
THING THEY WERE TRYING TO GET
HIM DEFEATED. NOW, THAT'S
COURSE WITH EVERY POLITICAL
CANDIDATE DOES AND IS THAT A
BASIS FOR A LAWSUIT. I DON'T
KNOW. I MEAN, IT'S IT'S IT'S A
STRETCH. THE OTHER THING IS
THIS THE ONE OF THE REASONS I
BROUGHT IT HERE IS THAT THE
THE PLAINTIFF IS JUST PLAIN
DONALD J TRUMP. IT'S NOT THE
TRUMP ORGANIZATION AND BECAUSE
OF THAT, THAT MEANS THAT ANY
OF THESE PEOPLE HERE. AND IF
THE IF THIS THING EVER GETS
BEYOND DISMISSAL CAN SEEK TO
DEPOSE HIM ANY. ANY ONE OF
THESE ALL OF THESE EACH OF
THESE CAN SEEK TO DEPOSE HIM.
SO IF THEY DO THAT AND OF
COURSE, HE'LL RESIST THAT THIS
THING COULD GO ON FOREVER. SO
PERHAPS PERHAPS ONE OF THE
MOTIVES BEHIND THIS IS JUST TO
SAY TO REMIND EVERYBODY, LOOK,
I WAS WRONG. THIS WAS DONE TO
ME AND IT'S WRONG AND MAYBE
THAT'S. REALLY WHAT A LOT TO.
I THINK ONE OTHER INTERESTING
THINGS, THE LAWYER BEHIND THIS
IS IS A IS A LAWYER FROM MIAMI
NAMED PETER TICKED AND PETER
TAKE TON WAS IN ESSENCE IN
HIGH SCHOOL AT THE NEW YORK
MILITARY ACADEMY WITH DONALD
TRUMP AND IN FACT, HAS WRITTEN
A BOOK ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCES
OF KNOWING TRUMP THEN AND
CONTINUING TO KNOW AND SINCE
THEN. SO THEY'RE THERE FOR
THEIR FRIENDS.
>> WHAT, IF ANYTHING, IN THIS
GRADUATES, THIS DOCUMENT THAT
YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF US FROM
AN AIRING OF GRIEVANCES FROM
THE FORMER PRESIDENT TO A
LEGITIMATE LEGAL CASE AGAINST
HIS FORMER RIVALS. WELL, I
THINK THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION.
AND YOU KNOW, THE THE ANSWER
MAY TURN OUT TO BE NOTHING.
>> WE'LL WE'LL JUST SEE
WHETHER HE'S SUCCESSFUL WITH
ANY OF THIS. I WILL SAY IT WAS
IT'S GOING TO TAKE YEARS FOR
ALL OF US TO WORK OUT. AND SO
PERHAPS ONE OF THESE THINGS
HE'S TRYING TO DO HERE IN, YOU
KNOW WHAT, LET'S GIVE HIM
BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. MAYBE
REALLY IS TRYING TO GET
24 MILLION DOLLARS BACK THAT
HE THINKS THAT HE HAD TO SPEND
WRONGLY TO DEFEND HIMSELF
AGAINST A LOT OF ACCUSATIONS
THAT TO HIS DEFENSE TURNED OUT
TO BE WRONG ON THE OTHER HAND,
MAYBE IT'S IT'S A SHOT ACROSS
THE BOW OF ANYBODY WHO WANTS
TO TRY TO REPEAT THESE THINGS
THAT HE DOES DECIDE TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT AGAIN. PETE BRING
IN.
>> BRINGING THE RECEIPTS. IF
YOU WILL. BUT ONSET BE. THANK
YOU. CAN IT. SO IF YOU'RE
ABOUT THIS, THERE'S A BUNCH OF
BACKLASH THIS BUILDING. IT IS
A CLICHE LIKE THAT. BUT IT'S
TRUE, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN NEW YORK RIGHT
NOW BECAUSE THE MAYOR THERE
HAS LIFTED THE CITY'S VACCINE
MANDATE FOR PERFORMERS AND FOR
PRO ATHLETES. JUST FOR THAT,
RIGHT. SO BASKETBALL STARS
LIKE KYRIE IRVING. HE'S
EXEMPTED. WE TALKED TO HIM ON
THE SHOW. HE HASN'T BEEN ABLE
TO PLAY HOME GAMES FOR
BROOKLYN NETS BECAUSE HE IS
NOT VACCINATED THAT WHOLE
ORDEAL WAS A HUGE CONTROVERSY.
NOW HE'S GOT OFF THE HOOK
AFTER MAYOR ADAMS DID WHAT HE
DID MADE THIS MOVE EARLIER
TODAY SAYING HE WAS UNAFRAID.
WATCH.
>> THE MAYOR OF THE CITY. AND
I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME TOUGH
CHOICES. AND PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO AGREE WITH SOME OF THEM.
AND TODAY DECISION WE MAKE IN.
WE'RE NOT MAKING IT LOOSELY
HAPHAZARDLY WE'RE NOT DOING IT
BECAUSE THEIR PRECIOUS TO DO
IT WITH DOING IT BECAUSE THE
CITY HAS TO FUNCTION. WITH
LEADING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
FOR THE MOST PART AND
UNEMPLOYMENT.
>> I WANT TO BRING IN NOW
STEPHANIE GOSK WHO IS JOINING
US NOW. AND STEPHANIE WHAT'S
INTERESTING HERE IS SOME OF
THE BACKLASH THAT MAYOR ADAMS
HAS GOTTEN INCLUDING FROM, FOR
EXAMPLE, TEACHERS ARE LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THESE
UNIONS ARE SAYING. OKAY, IF
YOU'RE LIKE FAMOUS AND
ARTISTIC YOU GET TO GET OUT OF
THIS. BUT IF YOU'RE DOING THE
WORK OF THE PEOPLE IN THE
STREETS. YOU CAN'T HAVE AN
EXEMPTION LIKE HOW IS THAT NOT
A DOUBLE STANDARD.
>> YEAH. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
CRYING FOUL. HEAR HOW HE IS
EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE TIMES BE
THE ONE CARRY ARE BEING PLAYED
FOR THE BROOKLYN NETS. THEY'RE
ALSO 1400 MUNICIPAL WORKERS.
ACCORDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL
THAT HAD BEEN FIRED AREN'T
GETTING PAID. THESE ARE POLICE
OFFICERS, FIREFIGHTERS,
TEACHERS AND THEY'RE SAYING,
ON A SECOND YEAR. YOU'RE GOING
LIKE KYREE IRVING PLAY
BASKETBALL AND YOU LET THEM
UNVACCINATED METS YANKEES
WHOEVER THEY MAY BE AT HOME.
SO HOW COME I CAN'T GO TO
WORK. AND YOU KNOW, AND THERE
IS THERE'S CERTAINLY SOME
TRUTH TO THAT. YOU ALSO HAVE
DO HAVE TO CONSIDER IN THE
DEFENSE OF THE CITY. AND AS
THEY'RE LOOKING AT US THAT
THEIR JOBS ARE EXTREMELY
DIFFERENT, RIGHT. IF YOU'RE A
POLICE OFFICER IN THIS CITY
ARE FIREFIGHTER IN THE CITY OR
TEACHER IN THE CITY. YOU'RE
COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE
PUBLIC IN AN ENTIRELY
DIFFERENT WAY. BUT AT THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE MAYOR'S
MOUTHY SAYING, LISTEN,
VACCINATION RATES ARE SUPER
HIGH CASES ARE LOWER.
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE LOW
DEATHS ARE LOW AND IF THAT'S
THE CASE, WHY CAN'T EVERYONE
JUST GO BACK TO WORK. ALLIE
YOU MAKE AN INTERESTING POINT
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
SPECIFICALLY THAT THE POLICE
OFFICERS HERE THAT THE HEAD OF
THE NEW YORK BIGGEST UNION IS
SAYING IF THE MANDATE IS
NECESSARY FOR FAMOUS PEOPLE,
THEN WHY IS IT NOT NECESSARY
FOR COPS. SO I WONDER STAFF.
>> GIVEN THAT THE THE LAWSUIT
THAT THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE
UNION HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW,
PUSHING AGAINST THE CITY FOR A
WHILE NOW. COULD THIS NOT END
UP A PART OF THAT LEGAL CASE,
RIGHT. LIKE LIKE THIS.
EXEMPTION FOR ENTERTAINERS.
COULD THAT PLAY A PART IN THAT
SUIT.
>> IT IT ABSOLUTELY WILL. AND
THE ARGUMENTS FOR ALLOWING
THEM TO GO BACK ON THE COURT
THAT THEY MIGHT BE A RISK TO
THE PUBLIC THEY CERTAINLY
THAT'S GOING TO BECOME PART OF
THE CASE AND AND LIKE, YOU
KNOW, LIKE I MENTIONED THERE.
HE WILL ALSO POINT OUT THEY
COMING INTO THE PUBLIC IS
REALLY THE ISSUE HERE AND
REALLY YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, NEW
YORK CITY HALEIGH HAD SOME OF
THE TIGHTEST RESTRICTIONS WHEN
IT CAME TO MANDATE AND
VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS IN

THE DEAL.
>> ALRIGHT SUNDAY LOOK, IN THE
PLAYOFFS ARE ABOUT TO HAPPEN

PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T GO TO THE
GAMES BECAUSE KYRIE IRVING,

>> STILL TO COME ON THE
>> COMING UP NEXT, WE GO
INSIDE THE METAVERSE WITH KATE
SNOW WITH NEW WARNINGS FROM
EXPERTS ABOUT WHAT REALLY THAT
IS LIKE FOR KIDS EXPLORING
THAT UNIVERSE. THAT'S COMING
UP IN JUST A BIT. BUT TONIGHT
WE WANT TO TAKE YOU OVER TO
POLAND AND UKRAINE AND PUT
SOME FACES TO THIS GROWING
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS. THERE.
THE UN SAYS MORE THAN 3 AND A
HALF MILLION UKRAINIANS HAVE
LEFT THE COUNTRY SINCE THE
START OF THE RUSSIAN INVASION.
THEY'RE HEADING TO NEIGHBORING
COUNTRIES. AND NOW THE DOORS
TO THE UNITED STATES ARE
OPENING 2. AND HERE'S THE
THING. THIS IS A STORY THAT
BOTTOM OF THIS AND HIS FAMILY
HAS LIVED THROUGH BEFORE I
SPOKE WITH LAST SUMMER AFTER
SHE AND HER FAMILY. YOU SEE
HER THERE MANAGED TO LEAVE
AFGHANISTAN JUST 7 MONTHS AGO
WHEN THE TALIBAN TOOK OVER
KABUL. CHAOTIC AND UPSETTING
EXIT FROM THE PLACE THEY
CALLED HOME. YOU KNOW WHERE
THEY WENT. TO UKRAINE. THAT'S
WHERE THEY MADE THEIR WAY TO
THEY'VE BEEN LIVING THERE
UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. AND YOU
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THEY NOW
ARE ONCE AGAIN IN LESS THAN A
YEAR CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE
OF ANOTHER WAR FORCED TO PACK
THEIR THINGS FOR THE SECOND TIME AND LEAVE EVERYTHING
TIME AND LEAVE EVERYTHING
BEHIND. HERE'S THEIR STORY.
WHEN THE WAR IN UKRAINE
STARTED JOURNALIST SANDY KNEW
SHE HAD TO GET HER FAMILY TO
SAFETY FAST. MIKE PENCE. WHEN
I WAS TALKING TO THEM, THEY
THIS SITUATION IN UKRAINE IS
GETTING ON TO IT.
>> SO YOU'VE BEEN DO SOMETHING
KIND MAKE. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO
DO. I DON'T IT'S A DANGEROUS
JOURNEY LIKE ONE SHE KNOWS ALL
TOO WELL AFTER ESCAPING HER
HOME IN AFGHANISTAN LAST
SUMMER WHEN THE TALIBAN TOOK
CONTROL OF KABUL. SHE SAYS SHE
WAS TEAR GASSED AND SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED. BUT WITH THE HELP
OF A FRIEND AND BOTH US AND
FOREIGN MILITARY PERSONNEL.
SHE FINALLY BOARDED A PLANE TO
SAFETY TO UKRAINE. HER FAMILY.
JOINING HER IN KIEV. LESS THAN
A WEEK LATER I MET HER LAST
FALL, AN AFGHAN REFUGEE NOW
LIVING IN THE U.S. BUT HER
FAMILY, MOM, DAD BROTHER, BABY
SISTER STAYED BEHIND IN
UKRAINE. WOULD YOU SAY TO THE
SPECIAL FORCES TO THE WOMAN
WHO WAS WORKING WITH THEM AND
HELP GET YOU OUT AND THAT
LEADER HELP YOUR FAMILY OUT
TOO.
>> TO BE HONEST. I'M TIME FOR
I'M GRATEFUL. THEY SAVED MY
LIFE. IF THEY WOULD. THE
MEDIA. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME. NOW
FLOCK TO HIS FAMILY IS
RELIVING A NIGHTMARE ALL OVER
AGAIN LEAVING KIEV JUST A
COUPLE WEEKS AGO AS THE
RUSSIANS ADVANCED.
>> YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE
REFUGEES OF ONE WAR AND NOW
HERE THEY ARE BECOMING
REFUGEES OF A SECOND WAR IN
LESS THAN 8 MONTHS TIME. I'M
FORTUNATE. BOTTOM. A SCRAMBLED
REACHING OUT TO FRIENDS AND
STRANGERS ANYONE WHO COULD GET
HER FAMILY TO THE TRAIN
STATION. COULD NOT OR TREATS
SHAPE NIGHTS AND GETTING THAT
SHOOTING DAYTIME DRINKING
COFFEE.
>> KEEP MY SAID FOR ME SO THAT
IT WOULDN'T BE A MOMENT THAT
IT WOULD MISS ANY CALLS WITH
THE HELP OF A UKRAINIAN
FRIEND. THE FAMILY GOT ON THE
TRAIN HEADING WEST TOWARDS THE
POLISH BORDER. RELIVING SOME
OF THOSE NOW FAMILIAR CHAOTIC
SCENES ARE SO HIGH THAT MY
CALLED ME CRYING SAYING THAT,
YOU KNOW, WHEN THE GATE OFF
THE TRAIN OPEN. PEOPLE NEED
TRAINING FUNDING DOWN THE
TRAIN BECAUSE WAS SO
IMPORTANT. FATIMA SAYS WITH
THE KINDNESS OF VOLUNTEERS AND
FRIENDS. HER FAMILY MADE THEIR
WAY TO LVIV AND THEN TO THE
UKRAINIAN POLISH BORDER.
>> BUT THEN SHE LOST CONTACT.
>> I DID NOT TALK TO THEM FOR
>> AND THEN I CAN SEE THAT
TICKS BY MY BROTHER SAYING THE
POSSIBLE BAN ON BUILDING POINT
THAT I WAS FLYING THAT MOMENT.
>> THE UN SAYS MORE THAN 3.6
MILLION PEOPLE IN UKRAINE HAVE
CROSSED THE BORDER INTO
NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES LIKE
POLAND SLOVAKIA, HUNGARY AND
ROMANIA FAMILIES. SEPARATED
KIDS LEAVING BEHIND THEIR
SCHOOLS, THEIR FRIENDS HOMES
DESTROYED BY RUSSIAN ARTILLERY
AS OF MID-MARCH, THE
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR
MIGRATION 162,000 FOREIGN
NATIONALS LIKE HIS FAMILY HAD
ESCAPED UKRAINE. SHE SAYS HER
MOM DAD, BROTHER AND SISTER
ARE NOW SAFE IN WARSAW. THEIR
FINAL DESTINATION, CANADA,
SAFE. THANKS, BOTTOM. SAYS TO
THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS,
PEOPLE ARE AMAZING AND THEY
JUST WENT AHEAD THAT'S
BEAUTIFUL.
>> IT'S AN INCREDIBLE STORY.
SAYS SHE HAS HAS NOT ACTUALLY
SEEN HER PARENTS, HER BROTHER,
HER BABY SISTER SINCE LAST
SEPTEMBER BEFORE SHE LEFT
UKRAINE FOR THE U.S. BUT SHE
REALLY OBVIOUSLY CANNOT WAIT
TO SEE THEM ONCE THEY GET TO
CANADA. MEANTIME, KIDS IN
UKRAINE LIKE FLOTSAM, A SISTER
AND UKRAINIAN CHILDREN HAVING
TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES EVERY
SINGLE DAY. TODAY PRESIDENT
BIDEN SAYING HE WANTS TO MEET
WITH REFUGEES IN POLAND IS THE
UN SAYS MORE THAN HALF OF ALL
KIDS IN UKRAINE HAVE BEEN
DISPLACED BY THIS WAR. 4.3
MILLION KIDS. THIS INCLUDES
EVERY CHILD GETS LEFT UKRAINE,
EVERY CHILD THAT'S LEFT THEIR
HOME BUT IS STILL IN THE
COUNTRY TOO. IT ALSO INCLUDES
ORPHANS LOOKING OUT AN
ORPHANAGE IN POLAND USED TO BE
A SUMMER CAMP. NOW IT'S A
SHELTER TEMPORARILY FOR MORE
THAN 30 KITS. THE DIRECTOR
SAYING THAT BECAUSE EVERYTHING
THAT THESE CHILDREN HAVE GONE
THROUGH A LOT OF HIS WORK CAN
START ONLY AFTER THE WAR HAS
ENDED.
>> WE WILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK
THE WAR. THE TO CHILDREN WHO
LOST PARENTS.
>> DASHA BURNS IS WITH ME NOW.
DOCTOR, THE U.S. SAYING THIS
IS ONE OF THE FASTEST
LARGE-SCALE DISPLACEMENT OF
KIDS SINCE WORLD WAR 2. THE
PASSING OF THESE KINDS OF
HISTORICAL GENERATIONAL TERMS
TALK LITTLE YOU'RE SEEING
TODAY IN
>> YEAH. HOW YOU SAID IT RIGHT
THERE. THE SCALE OF THIS NOT
BE FULLY DESCRIBED BECAUSE THE
NUMBERS WE'RE GETTING NOW
THERE ARE PROBABLY A LOW IN
TERMS OF THE ACTUAL ESTIMATES.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE THOSE
NUMBERS GROW AS WE GET A CLEAR
PICTURE OF THIS. BUT EVEN NOW,
AGAIN, ONE IN 2 AND UKRAINE TO
HAVE NOW BEEN DISPLACED. AND I
JUST HEARD FROM UNICEF TODAY
THAT ABOUT 7,500 CHILDREN HAVE
ACTUALLY BEEN BORN INTO THIS
WAR. AND ALI, AS YOU LOOK
AROUND POLAND EVERYWHERE YOU
SEE MOTHERS WITH MULTIPLE
CHILDREN ALL SCORE. SOME OF
THE MOST VULNERABLE IN THIS
CRISIS. THERE ARE ALSO A LOT
OF ORPHANS THAT HAVE CROSSED
THE BORDER TO SEEK REFUGE
HERE. UKRAINE HAS ONE OF THE
LARGEST ORPHANAGE IN EUROPE
CARING FOR ABOUT 100 1000
CHILDREN. WE MET A GROUP 31 OF
THEM EARLIER THIS WEEK YOU
HEARD THE DIRECTOR OF THAT
ORPHANAGE BROUGHT THEM ACROSS
THE BORDER SAFELY. AND HE TOLD
ME THAT HE THINKS THAT THERE
WILL BE MORE CHILDREN, MORE
ORPHANS AFTER THIS. WAR. HE
ALREADY SAW THIS HAPPEN
ACTUALLY IN 2014 HE SAYS THE
NEED FOR CHILDREN'S HOMES FOR
THOSE ROSE AND OVERWHELMED
THEM BACK IT WHEN THE CONFLICT
HAPPENED IN EASTERN UKRAINE
AND SOME OF THOSE SAME KIDS
THAT HAD TO FLEE THE EAST
TALLY IN 2014 ARE NOW HAVING
TO RETREAT WEST AGAIN. AND
IT'S JUST HEARTBREAKING TO
WATCH THESE CHILDREN GO TO
TRAUMA OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I'LL TELL YOU, THOUGH, WE SAW
THEM SINGING. WE SAW THEM
PLAYING.
>> THE RESILIENCE CONTINUES TO
AMAZE. HOW KIDS CAN BE SO
RESILIENT, ALTHOUGH THEY
SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT IN
THE SITUATION AT THAT UNICEF
DASHES, YOU KNOW, WARNED THAT
THAT SO MANY KIDS LEAVING AND
BECOMING REFUGEES COULD END UP
BEING DANGEROUS IN OTHER WAYS
LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH WITH
CONCERNS OVER HUMAN
TRAFFICKING. WHAT HAVE YOU
HEARD ON THAT FRONT.
>> YEAH, UNICEF TELLS ME THAT
WHENEVER YOU HAVE THIS LARGE
SCALE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE,
ESPECIALLY OF CHILDREN ACROSS
THE BORDER. THE CHAOS OF THAT
CREATES. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE GOING
TO TRY TO EXPLOIT THAT. I WANT
YOU TO HEAR WHAT JOE ENGLISH A
REPRESENTATIVE FROM UNICEF
TOLD JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS
AGO. TAKE A LISTEN.
>> THE RISK OF TRAFFICKING
EXPLOITATION ABUSE. YOU KNOW,
JUST JUST WHEN THERE IS THIS
LEVEL OF COYOTES. YOU'RE TO.
SHE'S GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE
IS IT'S HUGE.
>> YEAH. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I
MAKE A LOVELY HEARD FROM
EARLIER. THE ORPHANAGE
DIRECTOR. HE SAYS HE'S
REGISTERED EACH ONE OF THEIR
CHILDREN WITH THE UKRAINIAN
EMBASSY. IT'S WHAT UKRAINE IS
ASKING THEM TO DO. UKRAINE HAS
ALSO PUT ADOPTIONS ON HOLD
RIGHT NOW. IT'S ALSO SOMETHING
UNICEF RECOMMENDS TO NOT DO
OVERSEAS ADOPTION IN A TIME OF
WAR AND REALLY JUST FOCUSING
RIGHT NOW ON MAKE SURE WE'RE
MAKING SURE EACH OF THESE KIDS
IS ACCOUNTED FOR AND THAT
THEIR PARENTS, THEIR FAMILY
MEMBERS, THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
SEPARATED FROM FAMILY THAT
EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE THESE
CHILDREN ARE, WHICH IS SO
DIFFICULT TIME WHEN THERE'S SO
MUCH MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE BURNED
LIVE FOR US THERE IN POLAND.
ASHA, THANK YOU.
>> TAKING OUT OF THE BACK
STORY ARE BEHIND THE SCENES.
LOOK AT HOW STORY COMES
TOGETHER AND HOW IT FITS INTO
A BIGGER PICTURE. AND TONIGHT
KATES KNOW TOOK A LOOK AT HOW
KIDS ACROSS THE U.S. ARE
INTERACTING WITH VIRTUAL
REALITY PLATFORMS. THIS NEW
REPORT IS OUT WARNING. THERE'S
A LOT OF DANGERS IN PLACES
LIKE THE METAVERSE THAT MIGHT
END UP BEING HARMFUL FOR KIDS
AND THAT THE SAFETY PROTOCOLS,
THE COMPANIES HAVE IN PLACE
JUST CAN'T KEEP UP. WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THE WATCHDOG
GROUP COMMON SENSE MEDIA. THEY
SAY VR COULD EXPOSE KIDS TO
PHYSIOLOGICAL DANGERS TO
PRIVACY VIOLATIONS TO
MISINFORMATION EVEN CONTENT
AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RISKS. WE
TALKED ABOUT THE METAVERSE
BEFORE, RIGHT. IF YOU WATCH
THE SHOW, YOU KNOW, IT'S THIS
UNIVERSE OF ER SPACES. YOU CAN
INTERACT AS AN AVATAR.
ANYBODY. 13 AND OLDER CAN MAKE
AN ACCOUNT IF THEY HAVE A
HEADSET, YOU JUST SAW OUR OWN
KATE SNOW PUTTING ON HER HEAD
SAID SHE WENT INTO SOME OF
THESE VIRTUAL REALITY
PLATFORMS. CHECK OUT THESE
CONCERNS FOR HERSELF.
>> AND THE REPORTER. TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND THAT
>> THE MAKER OF THE ARCH AT
THE ONE YOU JUST SAW, KATE IN
THAT CLIP TO NBC NEWS HARMFUL
CONTENT WOULD BE REMOVED FROM
THEIR SOON AS IT WAS REPORTED
WHICH MAKES THE HEADSET.
PRETTY POPULAR, HAD SUFFOCATE
WAR. I HAVE NOT SEEN THE
REPORT WHEN WE ASKED FOR
COMMENT BUT SAID THEY WANT
EVERYONE USING THEIR PRODUCTS
TO BE ABLE TO EASILY FIND
TOOLS TO HELP THEM WIN RULES
ARE BROKEN. THEY SAY THERE
HAVE PLANNING ON HAVING
PARENTAL SUPERVISION TOOLS
READY TO GO IN THE NEXT FEW
MONTHS. KAYE JOINS ME NOW TO
TALK ABOUT THIS. OKAY. THIS IS
SUPER INTERESTING. LET ME
START HERE WITH HOW YOU GOT TO
DO THE REPORTING IN THE
METAVERSE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WHEN YOU'RE YOU KNOW, IT
AVATAR INTERACTS WITH AN
AVATAR. IS IT JUST LIKE
WALKING UP TO SOMEBODY LIKE
EYES OF REPORTER WOULD WALK UP
TO LIKE A, YOU KNOW, A SOURCE
OR CONTACT.
>> YEAH. WELL, FIRST, LET ME
SAY AS A MOM OF 2 TEENAGERS. I
REALLY DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT
THE METAVERSE 18 GOOD ARE THEY
MY SON. THEY DON'T HAVE WE
DON'T HAVE THE HEADSET IN OUR
HOME. BUT MY SON WHO IS ALL
KNEW ALL ABOUT IT. SO LOOK, I
WENT IN WITH A PRODUCER AND
WITH SOMEONE FROM COMMONS.
LOOK AT PRODUCER HELP ME SET
IT UP AND THEN COMMON SENSE
MEDIA. YOU SAW A GUY WE MAYBE
DIDN'T SEE HIM. BUT FROM HIS
POINT OF VIEW, HE WAS SHOOTING
THE VIDEO THAT YOU JUST AND HE
WAS MY GUIDE. AND SO HE TOOK
ME TO CERTAIN IN THE
METAVERSE, WHICH OF COURSE, IS
JUST THE UNIVERSE OF VIRTUAL
REALITY WHERE PEOPLE INTERACT
WITH EACH OTHER. AND SO YEAH,
WHEN I WALKED UP TO PEOPLE, I
IDENTIFIED MYSELF AS A
REPORTER BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF
OUR AS YOU KNOW, HOW ONE OF
OUR STANDARDS OF PRACTICES
THAT WE ALWAYS ID OURSELVES AS
A WITH THE THERE WAS A YOUNG
MAN AND ONE OF THE UNIVERSE IS
THAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE WITH ME
HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS A BOY
WHO WAS 13. WE TRIED TO REACH
HIS PARENTS, BY THE WAY, TO
GET COMING FROM THEM. WE WERE
WE'RE NOT ABLE TO REACH THEM.
BUT WE WE HID THE IDENTITIES.
YOU SAW WE BLURRED OUT THE
USER NAMES ON PURPOSE. BUT I
DID INTERACT WITH PEOPLE TO
TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS
GOING ON INSIDE THERE IN THE
NEWS, SHE SAW THAT CLIP, ALI
OF THE STRIP CLUB, THOUGH IT
WENT TO AND I HAVE TO TELL
YOU, IT WAS EXTREMELY
DISTURBING. THERE ARE A LOT OF
THINGS IN THERE THAT WE
COULDN'T SHOW ON TELEVISION.
>> AND AS A MOM YOURSELF WOULD
YOU KNOW, EXPECTED THAT, KATE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE
NOT SHOCKED REPORTED WARNED
ABOUT TELLING FANS THE
METAVERSE, YOU KNOW.
>> YEAH. NOT NOT. I DIDN'T
EXPECT THE VISCERAL REACTION
THAT I WOULD HAVE AND PEOPLE
WHO'VE BEEN IN THE METAVERSE
AND VIRTUAL REALITY PROBABLY
KNOW THIS. BUT IT'S A VERY
THING YOU'RE IN THERE. YOU'RE
HEARING YOU'RE SEEING YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU'RE THERE AND PEOPLE
ARE COMING RIGHT UP IN YOUR
SPACE. THAT'S BEEN ONE OF THE
ISSUES WITH THE METAVERSE IS
AND ONE OF THE CONCERNS OF OF
COMMON SENSE MEDIA. IS THAT
KIDS CAN BE KIND OF YOUR
PERSONAL SPACE CAN BE
INFRINGED UPON. I'M NOT TO
MENTION ALL THE THINGS THAT
YOU CAN SEE WHEN YOU'RE IN.
>> WELL, HOW WAS IT WHEN
YOU'RE GOING TO THESE
COMPANIES ASKING FOR COMMENT,
RIGHT. BECAUSE I THINK IN THE
IN THE REPORTING THAT I'VE
DONE ON OTHER ISSUES AS IT
RELATES TO TECH COMPANIES,
THERE IS SOMETIMES THE SENSE
OF, YOU KNOW, THE PART OF
TRYING TO PUT THE SAFETY
PROTOCOLS IN PLACE. BUT THERE
IS SOME RESPONSIBILITY THAT
FALLS ON THE ON THE USER, IF
YOU WILL. TALK TO ME ABOUT
THAT PIECE OF IT. YEAH, I
THINK THERE'S SOME
RESPONSIBILITY ON THE TODAY
SHOW PIECE THIS MORNING WE
TALKED ABOUT PARENTAL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL
>> AND YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE
INDUSTRY WOULD SAY, LOOK,
PARENTS NEED TO BE MODERATING
WHAT THEIR KIDS ARE LOOKING
AT. DON'T SIGN YOUR KID UP IF
THEY'RE NOT 13 YEARS OLD AND
OVER. BUT THE THE ISSUE AND
TALKING TO THE COMPANIES AND
THEY WERE VERY THEY WERE VERY
FORTHCOMING WITH US. I HAVE TO
SAY YOU JUST YOU QUOTED 2 OF
THE STATEMENTS THAT WE GOT.
THEY WERE VERY RESPONSIVE TO
US. THAT WAS NOT AN ISSUE. BUT
THE TECHNOLOGY HALEIGH IS
MOVING FASTER, THEN THEY CAN
EVEN KEEP UP YOU KNOW, YOU YOU
MENTIONED THERE. MEHTA TOLD US
THAT THEY WILL BE PUTTING OUT
MORE PARENTAL TOOLS, BUT
THEY'RE NOT READY THE
TECHNOLOGIES KIND OF EXPANDED
QUICKER THAN THEY CAN GET THE
PARENTAL TOOLS OUT THERE.
>> KATE SNOW, THANK YOU SO
IT'S A FASCINATING LOOK. AND I
APPRECIATE YOU JOINING US WITH
THE BEHIND THE SCENES. LOOK AT
HOW THIS ALL CAME TOGETHER. CREATIVE FUN. THANKS.
NOW STREAMING WEEKDAYS AT 7.
>> NBC NEWS COVERS HUNDREDS OF
STORIES EVERY DAY BECAUSE YOU
COULDN'T POSSIBLY READ OR
WATCH OR LISTEN TO THEM ALL
OUR TEAMS HAVE DONE IT FOR
YOU. THIS IS WHAT THEY TELL US
IS GOING DOWN IN THEIR REGIONS
IN A SEGMENT WE CALL THE
LOCAL. OUT WEST IDAHO'S
GOVERNOR SIGNED AN ABORTION
BILL SIMILAR TO TEXAS'S
CONTROVERSIAL ABORTION LAW
IDAHO'S BILL LETS FAMILY
MEMBERS OF A QUOTE, PREBORN
CHILD SUE DOCTORS WHO PERFORM
ABORTIONS AFTER A HEARTBEAT IS
DETECTED ROUGHLY AFTER ABOUT 6
WEEKS OF PREGNANCY. THEY CAN
BE SUED FOR A MINIMUM OF
$20,000. THIS WILL GO INTO
EFFECT IN 30 DAYS. BUT EVEN
THE GOVERNOR HAS SAID HE
THINKS THIS LAW WILL BE PROVEN
UNCONSTITUTIONAL ALSO FROM THE
WEST COAST BUREAU, THE
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
SCHOOL SYSTEM IS PERMANENTLY.
TOSSING OUT AS A TEA AND A
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE
PANDEMIC. IT SCRAPPED THE TEST
TEMPORARILY. BUT CSU
CHANCELLOR SAYS HE HOPES THIS
MOVE HELPS LEVEL THE PLAYING
FIELD AND GIVE STUDENTS FROM
ALL BACKGROUNDS MORE ACCESS TO
GETTING DEGREES FROM COLLEGES.
A FORMER NORTHEAST BUREAU SOON
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO FIND THE
YELLOW NEW YORK TAXI ON YOUR
UBER APP. THIS IS PART OF A
NEW PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE UBER
IS DEALING WITH SOME DRIVER
SHORTAGES AND A SURGE IN
ORDERS OF FOOD DELIVERIES,
RIGHT. THE COMPANY HOPES THIS
WILL BOOST THE NUMBER OF RIDES
AVAILABLE AND MAKE THINGS A
LITTLE LESS TENSE, A LITTLE
LESS AWKWARD BETWEEN UBER AND
TAXI SERVICES. IF YOU DINE OUT
A LOT, YOU DON'T WANT TO
LISTEN THIS NEXT STORY. A
CONSUMER REPORTS INVESTIGATION
FOUND DANGEROUS CHEMICALS IN
THE LOT OF THE FAST FOOD
PACKAGING. SOME OF THE SPY.
THE CHEMICALS ARE CALLED P
SOMETIMES THEY'RE CALLED
FOREVER CHEMICALS BY SOME
FOLKS BECAUSE SCIENTISTS SAY
THEY'RE PRACTICALLY
UNBREAKABLE COMPOUNDS THAT
JUST WON'T GO AWAY. CONSUMER
REPORTS THE NONPROFIT SAYS P
PASS IS FOUND IN THINGS LIKE.
>> THE STUFF SHOWN IN THIS
GRAPHIC HERE RIGHT. ARBY'S
BURGER KING CHICK-FIL-A TACO
BELL SWEETGREEN ETCETERA PAPER
BAGS FOR FRENCH FRIES WRAPPERS
FOR SANDWICHES SALAD BOWLS,
PAPER PLATES. SCIENTISTS SAY
REPEATED PFS EXPOSURE CAN
INCREASE THE RISK FOR SOME
CANCERS THEY'RE ALSO LIFT
LINKED TO LOWER BIRTH WEIGHTS
FOR INFANTS. ONE OF THE
WORLD'S BIGGEST FASHION
COMPANIES NOW RESTAURANT
BRANDS, INTERNATIONAL. THE
OWNER OF BURGER KING POPEYE'S
AND TIM HORTON'S SAYS IT WILL
STOP USING PACKAGING THAT HAS
THIS KIND OF CHEMICAL
CHRISTIANS ALL RAMS FOLLOWING
THE STORY FOR US TONIGHT.
KRISTEN. IT WAS INTERESTING.
THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF, RIGHT.
I MEAN, THERE'S THERE'S
THERE'S A PFS STORY WHEN IT
COMES TO BEAUTY PRODUCTS, FOR
EXAMPLE, THAT I THINK A LOT OF
PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT. THEY'RE IN
THESE FOOD WRAPPERS. NOW THEY
GO IN THE TRASH AND UP IN
WATER SYSTEM, ET CETERA.
FIRST, GIVE US THE CONTEXT
CHECK, RIGHT. AND THEN TELL US
WHY THIS IS SIGNIFICANT WITH
THIS BIG INTERNATIONAL FOOD
GROUP IS DOING.
>> RIGHT. AND SO, YOU KNOW,
THESE REALLY ARE JUST IN
EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY'VE
BEEN IN USE SINCE 19 38. AND
AT THE TIME IT WAS FOUND
FOREVER CHEMICAL IT MADE
PACKAGING. I'M REALLY MORE
DURABLE I MAYBE HEAT RESISTANT
AND WOULDN'T CORRODE. AND SO
YOU COULD PUT THINGS IN IT
LIKE SALAD DRESSINGS LIKE
OILS, YOU KNOW, FRENCH FRIES
AND IT WOULDN'T GO THROUGH THE
PACKAGING. AND SO FOR OUR
CULTURE ON THE GO. YOU KNOW
THAT SEEMED IDEAL OBVIOUSLY
NOW WE KNOW BETTER. AND WE'RE
SEEING SOME OF THE FALLOUT
FROM THIS AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT FAST FOOD
WRAPPERS, BUT THAT ALSO
INCLUDES THINGS THAT YOU BUY
IN A SUPERMARKET. THE TRAY
UNDER YOUR THOSE SORT OF FIBER
BOWLS THAT YOUR SALAD MAY COME
IN AND IT'S REALLY HARD
BECAUSE THESE DON'T BREAK DOWN
TO THEN GET THEM OUT OF OUR
ENVIRONMENT. AND SO WE HAVE
THEM IN NEWS AND THERE'S A A
PUSH TO STOP THAT. BUT WE ALSO
THEN HAVE IT IN OUR
ENVIRONMENT, IN OUR WATER. IN
MANY CASES IN OUR SOIL THAT'S
BEING USED FOR CROPS. AND SO
THIS REALLY IS CONCERNING AND
I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
CHECKING OUT THIS CONSUMER
REPORTING TO SEE THE PLACES
THAT, YOU KNOW, VIEWERS MAY
FREQUENT. I CAN SEE WHAT
PRODUCTS IT WAS FOUND IN. I
CAN TELL YOU THAT, YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE HERE IN WASHINGTON.
THERE'S THERE'S OFTENTIMES
DISCUSSION OF P FAST THAT
COMES UP IN THIS PUSH TO TRY
TO GET CONGRESS TO DO
SOMETHING.
>> IT'S IT'S BEEN A SLOW
PROCESS. I THINK IT'S FAIR TO
SAY, KRISTEN. YEAH,
ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW, THERE'S
A PETITION THAT PEOPLE CAN GO
ONLINE AND SIGN AND THERE IS
THIS PUSH TO TRY AND GET THE
GOVERNMENT TO REGULATE IT.
CALIFORNIA RECENTLY INSTITUTED
A BAN ON INTENTIONALLY PUTTING
P FAST INTO PRODUCTS THAT
TAKES EFFECT IN 2023 IN THE
LEVEL, THEY SAID IS A 100
PARTS PER MILLION. I JUST GIVE
YOU SOME CONTEXT THERE DENMARK
ALSO HAS A BAN AND THEY'VE SET
THEIR LEVEL AT 20 PARTS PER
THAT IS THE LEVEL THAT THE
EXPERTS CONSUMER REPORTS
TALKED TO REALLY THOUGHT
GIVING IT BELOW. THAT WOULD BE
IMPORTANT FOR HEALTH. SO, YOU
KNOW THIS PUSH TO MAKE IT
HAPPEN. IT HAS BEEN PAINFULLY
SLOW, THOUGH, I HESITATE TO
EVEN ASK ABOUT THE TIMELINE
MOVING FORWARD TO LIKE GET
SOMETHING DONE AS IT RELATES
TO BE FAST. TALKED ABOUT
RESTAURANT BRANDS
INTERNATIONAL DOING SOMETHING
THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A STEP IN
THAT DIRECTION. BUT LIKE. I
MEAN, WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE
TALKING A GENERATION BEFORE
CHANGE KNOW. WELL, I MEAN,
HOPEFULLY AND THESE THESE BIG
GROUPS, YOU KNOW YOU YOU
TALKED ABOUT THEM. THAT'S
BURGER KING TIM HORTONS
POPEYE'S. AND IN SO SOME OF
THOSE THAT TESTED WITH IT IN
THERE. THEY VOWED TO GET IT
OUT OF THEIR PRODUCTS BY 2025.
SO SOME OF THESE BIG
RESTAURANT GROUPS ARE MAKING
THE EFFORT TO STOP PUTTING IT
IN INTENTIONALLY AGAIN.
THERE'S THIS PUSH FOR THE
GOVERNMENT THAN TO SETTLE
LEVEL SO THAT NOBODY CAN DO
THAT AND IT DOESN'T COME DOWN
INTO THE PUBLIC PRESSURE ON
THE RESTAURANTS, BUT IT IS
GOING TO BE A SLOW PROCESS IN
THESE ARE CHEMICALS THAT DON'T
BREAK DOWN. AND SO THEY ARE IN
THE ENVIRONMENT AND HOW THAT'S
REMEDIATED IS ANOTHER PIECE OF
THIS THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO. YOU
KNOW, THEY CAN FREQUENT
RESTAURANTS THAT HAVE VOWED
NOT TO HAVE THIS. THEY CAN
TEST THEIR WATER BECAUSE IT
CAN BE IN IN HOUSEHOLD WATER.
IT'S ALSO IN THINGS LIKE
CARPET. SO, YOU KNOW, THERE
ARE THINGS THAT THE CONSUMER
TO CAN DO EVEN HOME OR RATHER
THAN GETTING TAKE OUT AS MUCH.
AND THEN WHEN YOU GET THOSE
CONTAINERS, TAKE YOUR FOOD OUT
OF IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
AND DON'T COOK AT SO THINGS WE
CAN DO PUSHES TO MAKE THIS A
MORE PERMANENT THING. HALEIGH
CHRISTIANS, ALL THAT'S GREAT
ADVICE. GOOD INFORMATION.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE
IT. SO KATE MIDDLETON AND
PRINCE WILLIAM ARE IN THE
BAHAMAS TODAY. THE LAST STOP
OF A CARIBBEAN THAT'S TURNED
INTO KIND OF A CONTROVERSIAL
TRIP THERE CELEBRATING QUEEN
ELIZABETH'S 70 YEARS ON THE
THRONE. AND WHILE THEY HAVE
GOTTEN A WARM WELCOME IN SOME
SPOTS. A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM
THESE FORMER BRITISH COLONIES
ARE JUST NOT THAT INTO IT.
FIRST, IT WAS PROTESTS IN
BELIEVES RIGHT. YOU SEE HIM
HERE. THEN 2 DAYS BEFORE
GETTING TO JAMAICA TO THEM A
COALITION OF PROMINENT
JAMAICANS WROTE AN OPEN LETTER
SAYING DURING THE 70 YEARS ON
THE THRONE. YOUR GRANDMOTHER
HAS DONE NOTHING TO ATONE FOR
THE SUFFERING OF OUR ANCESTORS
THAT TOOK PLACE DURING HER
REIGN. PRINCE WILLIAM THAT
APOLOGIZING FOR SLAVERY LAST
NIGHT.
>> I WANT TO EXPRESS MY
PROFOUND STORY. SLAVERY WAS A
PART. AND IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE
HAPPENED.
>> KATHY PARK IS COVERING THIS
NOW LIVE FOR US FROM LONDON.
KATHY, YOU KNOW, THE THESE THE
THE INTENTION, I THINK OF A
ROYAL TRIP LIKE THIS,
PARTICULARLY FOR THE QUEEN'S
70 YEARS ON THE THRONE WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE EXCITEMENT YOU
KNOW, NOW THERE ARE SOME
BACKLASH. PEOPLE CALLING FOR
REPARATIONS. WALK US THROUGH
THIS.
>> HEY, ALI, THAT'S EXACTLY
RIGHT. SO REAL EXPERTS ARE
CALLING THIS A CHARM OFFENSIVE
FOR WILLIAM AND KATE, BECAUSE
ESSENTIALLY AMBASSADORS FOR
THE QUEEN TO STRENGTHEN
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE
COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES. BUT
EVEN BEFORE THEY LANDED THIS
PAST WEEKEND. THEY WERE MET
WITH I'LL START WITH BELIEVES
THERE ARE THERE'S A POST SAID
TO GO TO A VILLAGE, BUT SOME
OF THE VILLAGERS THERE.
THEY'RE UPSET BECAUSE
LONGSTANDING LAND DISPUTE WITH
THE CONSERVATION GROUP IN
PRINCE WILLIAM HAPPENS TO BE A
PATRON OF THIS ORGANIZATION.
THEY WERE ALSO SAID THAT THE
ROYALS ARE PLANNING ON LANDING
THEIR HELICOPTER ON THEIR
PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMISSION
AHEAD OF TIME. SO EVENTUALLY
THE ROYALS HAD TO DO A DETOUR
WENT TO A DIFFERENT FARM
INSTEAD AND THEN TO JAMAICA,
AS YOU MENTIONED, THEY WERE
ALSO MET WITH DOZENS OF
PEOPLE. THEY WERE IN KINGSTON.
THEY WERE DEMANDING AN APOLOGY
AND REPARATIONS FOR BRITAIN'S
TIES TO SLAVERY AND WILLIAM
HAD THE THE TASK OF ADDRESSING
THIS HEAD-ON IN A KEYNOTE
SPEECH AND HE FELL SHORT OF
ISSUING A FULL APOLOGY AND HE
RECEIVED SOME BACKLASH FOR
THAT. AND THEN ON TOP OF ALL
OF THIS HALEIGH, THE PRIME
MINISTER OF JAMAICA INDICATED
THAT THEY WERE MOVING TAKING
THE INITIAL STEPS TO REMOVE
THE QUEEN AS THE HEAD OF
STATE. SO FOR KATE AND WILLIAM
CERTAINLY HAS BEEN DIFFICULT
TO NAVIGATE THIS WORLD TOUR.
IT FEELS LIKE THIS MAY BE
SOMETHING WE COULD SEE MORE OF
RIGHT FROM COUNTRIES THAT THE
QUEEN STILL REIGNS OVER. IS
THERE ANY SENSE OF THAT AFTER
WE TALKED ABOUT BARBADOS
REMOVING HER AS A HEAD OF
STATE WITH WHAT YOU TALKED
ABOUT IN JAMAICA TOO.
>> YES. SO WE'RE EXPERTS ARE
WORRIED THERE IS SOME SORT OF
MOVEMENT WE SAW BARBADOS
JAMAICA POTENTIALLY BE NEXT.
AND AND LISTEN THIS FOR THE
QUEEN IS A CROWNING
ACHIEVEMENT FOR HER TO
STRENGTHEN THESE RELATIONSHIPS
WITH THESE COMMONWEALTH
COUNTRIES. THE EXPERTS ARE
WORRIED THAT SHE WILL BE
UPSET. AND AND OBVIOUSLY
MOVING YOU KNOW, IT REMAINS TO
BE SEEN. BUT RIGHT NOW AT
RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE THE
THESE COMMONWEALTH NATIONS. IT
SEEMS TO BE UNRAVELING AT THIS
POINT. CATTLE ARE LIVE FOR US
THERE OUTSIDE BUCKINGHAM
PALACE. KATHY, THANK YOU FOR
BEING WITH US IN FOR BRINGING
THAT TO US. APPRECIATE IT.
MICHELLE YOU FOR JOINING US
TO.
>> FLY BY FALL LIKE THAT. AND
WE'RE GOING HAVE A LOT MORE
FOR YOU HERE TOMORROW. SAME
TIME, SAME PLACE. IT'S BEEN A
BUSY WEEK WILL CAP IT OFF WITH
YOU ON FRIDAY COVERAGE PICKS
UP RIGHT NOW.
