7:07 pm
thanks the january 6th committee is now cooperating with the justice department and could soon start sharing transcripts of its interviews with winces it comes just two days after the doj sent the committee a letter saying it was critical for federal investigators to receive all transcripts of all interviews over the past couple weeks, we have heard bombshell testimony during the committee's hearings, from former president trump's inner circle, including his closest advisers and his own family in a statement, the committee spokesman said we believe accountability is important and won't be an obstacle to the department's prosecutions. >> former white house trump t guilty to two contempt of ng congress charges today navarro has refused to comply with the january 6th committee's investigation. the federal charges stem from his refusal to testify and turn over documents and evidence. he has openly admitted spearheading efforts to overturn the election, including hatching a plan nicknamed green bay sweep. but he insists he can't comply
7:08 pm
with the january 6th committee's subpoena because former president trump invoked executive privilege. >> i thought we could handle this matter in a civilized way dealing with constitutional issues obviously, being put in leg irons and having people want to put me in prison have changed matters. >> navarro has slammed the charges against him and compared the fbi and federal prosecutors to stalinist russia. if convicted, navarro faces up to a year in prison for each charge >> the january 6th committee continues its public hearings on tuesday with a focus on the pressure campaign at the state level to change the election results. full coverage here that night on the news this weekend is going to be a hot one. meteorologists predicting another wave of dangerous heat that will sweep through the u.s. tomorrow high 90s into the 100s expected across the central u.s and it's already been a sweltering spring.
7:09 pm
right now, meteorologists predict multiple cities across the southwest through eastern texas are on track to have the warmest june ever. and this summer is only going to get hotter nearly three-quarters of the u.s. have longer heat waves today than 50 years ago. adam dell roso with us, senior meteorologist at accuweather what can we expect >> you said it simply, more heat and it is not going to feel pleasant at all, as we head through our father's day weekend and already this month, across the country, so many of us feeling these excessive temperatures as well as humidity we have broken nearly 400 record high temperatures so far this month. as we head through the weekend, and into the middle of next week, we're expecting more than 100 additional records to be broken today, some of that worst heat across the mid-atlantic into the tennessee valley, into the desert southwest we were well into the 90s, into the triple digits, challenging those record highs, and it's not just the heat.
7:10 pm
the humidity as well, especially across the southeast into the plains where we have dew points up into the 60s and 70s. now, dew points tell us how much moisture there is in the air the higher that number, the more tropical and sticky it feels and the more difficult it is to cool down. so whenever your body naturally tries to sweat, that will evaporate, cool you down when you have dew points that high t is that much more challenging to cool off. therefore, it becomes a lot more dangerous. that's why we have heat advisories across the southeast. even into the upper midwest and the northern plains, excessive heat watches as we head toward the end of our father's day weekend and into early next week where accuweather real-feel temperatures are going to be well into the triple digits. about 20 degrees above normal. this is the reason why we have this area of high pressure, higher up in the atmosphere, and whenever you have high pressure aloft, that creates sinking air. sinking air warms. it's like walking into a crowded room and all that body heat kind of just exacerbates those issues so that's what's going to be
7:11 pm
happening, not just through the weekend but through the middle of next week, the core of heat shifting back to the northeast after we get a little cooldown here this weekend for us across the great lakes and the northeast, but that core of the heat still going to be across the plains as we head through our father's day weekend austin, texas, for example, high temperatures staying in the triple digits all the way through monday that's about 10 degrees above normal for us. elsewhere, we get to 96 in el paso, 102 in phoenix 92 in kansas city. going to come with sunshine. you're doing something with dad, make sure it involves the ac or a pool >> going to say, a lot of stress on the electric grid adam dell roso, thanks >> 18 million kids across the country still not eligible for a covid vaccine. but that's likely about to change tonight, the decision that could have shots in little arms by tuesday. and nearly a dozen navy officers fired in the past few months but the pentagon refusing to say why. and he's serving decades in
7:12 pm
prison, but former usa gymnastics dr. larry nassar wants to appeal his conviction for sexually assaulting young women and girls. today, a court decides whether that will happen what's on the horizon? the answers lie beyond the roads we know. we recognize that energy demand is growing, and the world needs lower carbon solutions to keep up. at chevron, we're working to find new ways forward, through investments and partnerships in innovative solutions. like renewable natural gas from cow waste, hydrogen-fueled transportation, and carbon capture. we may not know just what lies ahead, but it's only human... to search for it. with his citi custom cash℠ card, dan earns cash back that automatically adjusts to where his spending is trending. just ask stepping outside his comfort zone dan... okay, i don't- i don't know where the hole for this is. ...or fourth time streaming that period drama dan... you just made me miss her best line, so now i'm going to have to start it again ...even insisted he didn't need directions dan.
7:13 pm
okay, i'm not lost. i'm exploring. that said, do you know where i am? earn 5% cash back in your top eligible spend category, up to $500 spent each billing cycle. with the citi custom cash℠ card. america's youngest children one step closer to getting a layer of protection against covid-19 today, the fda authorized the moderna vaccine for kids 6 months through 5 years old and pfizer's vaccine for children 6 months through 4 years old. now, all eyes are on the cdc the agency's advisory committee is set to vote tomorrow, and if the cdc director then signs off, health experts say about 18 million children could get a shot as soon as next week. cnbc's meg tirrell covers science and medicine for us. good to see you, meg how will the rollout work? >> well, kelly, this one is going to be different from what we have seen for older age groups the first reason is there are
7:14 pm
likely going to be two different vaccines available and they're not exactly the same moderna's is given as two doses over the course of a month while pfizer's is three much lower doses over about three months the fd ars's top vaccine regulator was asked today which one he would choose. >> i think they each have their own nuanced benefits and risks compared to each other it may be that the moderna vaccine brings an immune response slightly more rapidly on the other hand, the three-dose pfizer regimen may also bring a greater immune response after the third dose. >> but he said the best answer is whichever one your health care provider has. that's another major difference in this rollout, where kids and babies are likely to get the vaccine. many of the mass vaccination sites have wound down meaning parents will need to rely more on pediatricians andpharmacies
7:15 pm
for access for pharmacies according to a doctor, a pharmacist association ashp, they're only authorized to provide vaccines to kids age 3 and up >> even for parents with children 3 and older, they may want to call in advance just because pharmacists aren't always equipped with the resources or staff to take the time and attention it may need to immunize some of the smaller children so call ahead. see if your local hospital or children's hospital is holding a clinic your pediatric office may also have supply of vaccine >> cvs told us vaccinations start at 18 months for their minute clinics which are staffed by clinicians. there is expected to be plenty of supply, especially as polling suggests only about a fifth of parents of kids this age have said they want the vaccine right away but it may take a little calling around to find kelly. >> a lot more big decisions for parents to make. meg, thank you very much the navy firing nearly a
7:16 pm
dozen officers in less than three months due to what it calls a loss of confidence in their ability to command it reports it fired five of the officers in a single week. experts tell nbc news this string of terminations is unusual but it's not uncomfrn the navy to relieve officers the navy reports an average of about 17 commander officers have been fired every year since 2011 the terminations come after a string of suicides on the uss george washington. at least five crew members died by suicide in the last year. raising concerns about a mental health crisis within the service. but none of the leaders fired in the past few months served on that ship. the navy did not report more on why it relieved the officers, but it stressed the importance of trust and confidence across all chains of commands millions of u.s. service members faced exposure to toxic burn pits in afghanistan and iraq in the past two decades now, senators have passed a bipartisan bill aimed at helping them deal with lasting health
7:17 pm
issues next, the bill goes to the house where speaker nancy pelosi says lawmakers will move swiftly to get a vote done. the law would make it easier for veterans to get health care for illnesses and cancers commonly linked to burn pits. it would strengthen federal research on toxic exposure and also make it easier for troops exposed to agent orange in vietnam to finally get treatment. the military routinely used open burn pits like these during the iraq and afghanistan wars. troops burn trash with dangerous materials like plastics, rubber, chemicals, even human waste. it's illegal in the u.s. the department of veterans affairs estimates more than 3 million veterans were exposed to toxic fumes. the supreme court of michigan denying former usa gymnastics doctor larry nassar's final appeal the justices handing down an order on his sexual assault convictions today. writing, we decline to expend additional judicial resources and further subject the victims
7:18 pm
in this case to additional trauma nassar's team argued he faced mistreatment during his trial. they pointed to public officials calling him a monster who would wither in prison but the justices said that did not have an effect on his sentencing and denied the appeal. the former doctor pleaded guilty more than four years ago to abusing ten of them. he's currently serving up to 175 years in prison. hundreds of women and girls, including olympians aly raisman, simone biles, and mckayla maroney, all accusing him of sexual abuse >> a recession not inevitable. that from president biden during an interview with the associated press. america's ceos have a different view according to a new survey by the conference board, more than 60% think one is coming or is already here so what does it mean for an already hectic housing market? the lessons we learned from the great recession already providing a cushion. and it was one of the biggest scandals in american history coming up, a new look at the moments that led ttho e

anxiety hitting the real estate market. according to a new survey from data platform, 81% of americans say it's hard to find a home to buy or rent right now, mostly because of high prices mortgage rates are a big part of that they're rising at the fastest pace in decades. home sales are suddenly slowing, and data shows new home construction in may declined more than analysts expected. so is housing in for the same kind of crash we saw in the great recession? here's cnbc's real estate correspondent, diana olick >> during the great recession, when home prices positively crashed, millions of homes went into foreclosure that was because the mortgages holding up the housing market were a mess. lenders were basically giving anyone a loan. not so since then. for the 53.5 million first lien home mortgages in america today, the average borrower credit
7:22 pm
score a record high 751, below 700 back in 2010 thanks to the recent run-up in home prices, those borrowers have record tapable home equity, how much you can take out of your home and still leave 20% exwitty in it. $11 trillion in total, up 34% from a year ago. that's a significant cushion in case home prices soften or even fall >> if the economy were to slow significantly, then we could potentially see a home price dip, but that's not my base case my expectation is we'll see home prices grow. >> during the great recession, 1 in 4 homeowners was under water on their mortgage, meaning they owed more than the home was worth. >> so when it comes to the financial position of homeowners in the aggregate, housing is on really solid footing right now >> so what about the riskier loans? well, there are just 2.5 million adjustable rate mortgages outstanding today. compare that to 13 million in
7:23 pm
2007, just before the housing crash. a little more than half of those today are about to reset to higher rates so there is a risk but back in '07, about 10 million of those were resetting higher mortgage delinquencies are at a record low, just 3% of loans, which is actually less than before the pandemic. the real risk to housing right now is affordability and recession. prices are still so high that some new buyers just can't get in, and sky high rents make saving for a down payment very difficult. as for current homeowners, if a recession hits and people start to lose their jobs, then they may struggle to make their payments, especially if they stretch to buy that home in the first place. kelly. >> diana, thanks president biden weighs in on the americans missing in ukraine. and it's not what their families want to hear covid, it changed a lot of things, including the way we get sick how other viruses are starting to act that has doctors concerned. vince mcmahon stepping aside

["only wanna be with you" by hootie & the blowfish] discover is accepted at 99% of places in the u.s. ["only wanna be with you" by hootie & the blowfish] 50 years ago today, watergate began to unfold. it became one of the defining event of the 20th century. a political scandal that rocked the nation and brought down president richard nixon.
7:26 pm
the only u.s. president in u.s. history to resign. to mark the occasion, nbc justice correspondent pete williams went back to the scene of the crime he was joined by the two police officers who caught the watergate burglars red handed on june 17th, 1972. >> early in the morning 50 years ago, these two men were washington, d.c. police officers responding to a report of a break-in at the headquarters of the democratic national committee. walking through these very same halls, they didn't know what to expect >> do i think we're on to something? yes, but i have no idea how big it's going to be >> no idea that the arrests they made that night would lead to the discovery of a political scandal that ended with richard nixon becoming the only american president ever to leave office in the middle of his term. >> therefore, i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow >> watergate changed the american political system and the very language of scandal
7:27 pm
at first, it looked like a petty crime, five men arrested june 17th, 1972, after breaking into the national democratic party headquarters paul leaper and john barrett responded to the police radio call, while they were on regular duty as part of a plain clothes detail a security guard at the watergate office building called police after noticing that someone had used tape to prevent the stairwell doors from locking. with guns drawn, they searched room by room in the suite of democratic offices now occupied by a publishing company until they came to a room of cubicles. officer john barrett suddenly saw an arm >> i yelled something to the effect, get your hands up, et cetera, et cetera. expletive deleted i'm sure, and paul came in jumped up on a desk, pointed his gun down the five hands go up here >> this photo shows the actual desk the watergate burglars hid behind one of them was holding a
7:28 pm
raincoat and wouldn't drop it. barrett feared it was hiding a gun. >> he dropped the coat, he didn't have a gun in his hand, but it was precarious at that point. it was like really bad i was almost getting ready to let a round go >> you're thinking this might be a burglary what do you think when you see five guys stands up in suits >> these guys all look like business people. so i'm thinking is this some kind of international thing? >> like spies? >> i don't really want -- i know i'm in something big >> the white house at first called it a third-rate burglary that soon became clear something bigger was involved, even though all these years later it's never been firmly established who ordered the break-in or what the purpose was. from the beginning, the question was how high up did it go? as the scandal moved up to nixon's aides, he claimed he knew nothing that began to unravel thanks to facts uncovered by bob woodward
7:29 pm
and carl bernstein a year later, they opened senate hearings john dean said nixon knew about efforts to cover up the break-in >> i began by telling the president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency and if the cancer was not removed, the president himself would be killed by it. >> then, a spectacular discovery, virtually all important oval office conversations were recorded on audiotape, because president nixon had ordered the installation of recorders. >> good evening. the country tonight is in the midst of what may be the most serious constitutional crisis in its history. >> when a special prosecutor, archibald cox, pushed to get the tapes, nixon wanted cox fired. both the attorney general and deputy attorney general refused to do it and quit. in what became known as the saturday night massacre. under an order from the supreme court, the white house eventually turned over the tapes in july 1974 after a house committee voted to impeach and key republicans told
7:30 pm
nixon they had lost faith in him, the 37th president of the united states resigned and bid a tearful good-bye to his staff. >> always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them >> many of the president's top aides were convicted for their role gerald ford gave him a full pardon it started with a routine police radio call and two very surprised policemen. >> the thing kept growing, in my mind i'm thinking about every hour or so, my god, what are we involved with here? >> for the news, i'm pete williams >> i'm kelly evans in for shepard smith. it's half past the hour, here's what's making the news on cnbc vladimir putin lashing out against the u.s., his new message as the eu takes a step

7:37 pm
it appear to be causing other viruses to act differently more than two years into the coronavirus pandemic, familiar viruses are acting in unfamiliar ways that according to "the washington post. the newspaper reports the upheaval is being felt in hospitals and labs, doctors are rethinking routines, including keeping preventative shots on hand into the spring and even summer one troubling example, the flu it practically disappeared due to koed protocols but now flu cases are rising in some parts of the country as we head to the summer months. dr. vin gupta joins us now he's an nbc news medical analyst. doctor, thanks how concerning are these changes? >> kelly, good evening thanks for having me this is what i would say you know, we experienced last summer kids here in seattle, there was a surge of respiratory virus, almost like kids flu, a different type of virus that affects kids primarily, young babies
7:38 pm
we saw a spike in july and august, highly unusual behavior for this type of virus influenza a in australia, where a flu virus is usually originated in any year, a peak two months before their usual peak in august why is this happening? it's the hygiene hypothesis. especially young people, they benefit from seeing viruses, bacteria that we tickically haven't seen over the last two years because they have been masking and distancing that type of exposure builds up their imumunimmunity, it preven hospitals from seeing surges when they shouldn't be seeing those surges and that's why we're seeing here. so yes, there are costs here from the pandemic related initiatives, the policies, and now that's why we're seeing these unseasonable spikes. >> are the viruses themselves morphing are our bodies changed by covid and their response to them, or is the the interplay between covid and these viruses creating different effects? >> it's not that the viruses are morphing
7:39 pm
it's just predominantly amongst kids, we're seeing in new haven add yale university, which "the washington post" highlighted, we're seeing children specifically are coming in with some of these respiratory viruses like rsv, flu, covid, of course, at times here as we're heading into the summer they shouldn't be coming in with these viruses. it's primarily because they don't have natural immunity. while we took the covid related protocols, masking, distancing, for appropriate reasons, dealing with a pandemic that cost a lot of loss of life, the con here is we're losing out on the hygiene hypothesis this is not morphing of the viruses themselves, a lack of natural immunity, especially for young kids us adults, we have seen a lot of these viruses for many years so we have built-in protection, but young kids especially don't have this >> is it just a one-time reset or should we expect this to be a chronic issue? >> i think it will take a few years for us to reach a point where kids have seen some of the
7:40 pm
viruses we normally see, don't think about, and have built-in protection it will take a few years to regain that footing. until then, expect we have to intermittently mask, expect this pipeline of therapeutics and vaccines targeting covid, that we'll need more of the pipeline for other viruses. tests that can sense for more than just covid, that can test for covid, flu, and maybe rsv down the road. we have to have a broader tool kit. >> even vaccines for rsv we're definitely familiar with it in my household thank you tonight. remember the miami bitcoin bowl laser eyes and everything? this, a sign that miami was all in on crypto, well how is that working out now? cnbc's kate rooney went to find out. her reporting on the crypto winter in south florida. what drives you? what do you want to leave behind? what do you want to give back? what do you want to be remembered for?

7:46 pm
there is a possibility you could lose that money so it has to be money you're willing to sort of invest in that way >> miami has been looking to lure in top crypto and tech talent during the industry's boom crypto bowl now outside of miami-dade college was one symbol of that hype. crypto has also taken the miami real estate market by storm. people are paying for luxury apartments in cryptocurrencies but crypto winter is putting a freeze on some of those. >> about a month ago, everything was on track lately, things have slowed down. what everyone says is instead of watching and waiting for an apartment, they watch and wait for the market >> then there's miami's famous party scene. nightclub 11 charges at least $50,000 for a table, and has become a hot spot for wealthy crypto investors the club tells me it's not seeing as much crypto spending but it may be too soon to tell if that's because ofthe crash or a seasonable slowdown >> i think in general, obviously, you know, the world is in a little bit of pain right
