4:02 am
shepard smith. good evening. the classified documents stashed at mar-a-lago were so sensitive that the fbi feared in the wrong hands, they could expose human intelligence sources. in other words, spies who were helping the united states, and the feds needed to get those documents back, and fast that is just one of the big revelations from the newly released affidavit from the search of the former presidents florida home. it lays out the fbi's justification for taking such drastic, unprecedented action. it is heavily redacted but does provide new insight. the affidavit describes the federal government month-long battle to retrieve the trove of classified material that mr. trump took with him to mar-a lago when he left office. some of those documents were at the highest levels of classification possible. the kind of documents that need to be stored in a supersecret government facility, not in a private resort club. the affidavit reveals the justice department he came alarmed back in january, when
4:03 am
mr. trump turned over 15 boxes of documents over months of government pressure. in those boxes, the fbi found 184 documents with classification marking, 25 of them marked top-secret and the feds knew that mr. trump still had more classified material stashed away at mar-a-lago, according to the affidavit. in the request for the search, fbi agents told the judge there was probable cause to believe mr. trump still possessed classified national security documents that he was refusing to give back. the feds said there was also probable cause to believe they can find criminal -- evidence of criminal obstruction during the search. the big questions that remain are, why did mr. trump want these documents? what were these documents all about, and why did mr. trump insist on keeping them, even when the government demanded them back? we will have analysis from a
4:04 am
former federal prosecutor. >> the doj said that they had to redact all that information to protect the multiple people helping it as well as the investigation, itself point in a separate filing that was also unsealed today, the justice department cited the safety and privacy of a significant number of witnesses and law enforcement personnel who said they could face intimidation, harassment, even threats to their physical safety is identified. the justice department also warned that the affidavit is complete with details that can provide a road map for abstract information. the fbi was worried that if someone of this information became public people might try to flee. trump dismissed this news as a political attack. a newly released letter from his attorney shows they argue that trump demonstrated good faith in turning over those 15 boxes of paper back in january.
4:05 am
they also claim he has the authority to declassify information on the law prohibiting the removal of those classified documents does not apply to him. today, president biden said it's up to the doj to determine if there was a national security risk at mar-a-lago but that he has a special place at his home in delaware for sensitive material like his daily briefing. >> i have in my home a space that is completely secure. i'm hoping to take him today -- >> today they're asking for a damage assessment of any mishandled information at mar-a- lago. danielle. now, former district attorney for the attorney general of new
4:06 am
york. the doj mentioned there is a significant number of civilian witnesses they want to protect. what should we read from that? >> i think it is notable, because this was a case where doj was not going to be satisfied, was not going to barrel in there without overwhelming proof that in fact, there were national security documents on the premises. we have heard in public recording about some of the evidence that doj had, including surveillance video, including having meetings with strom's lawyers. know what we are hearing is in fact, they had a number of witnesses who surely have first-hand information that in fact, not all of the secure documents or the documents that should have been secured were returned back in january of this year. so, it is significant because i think there are multiple
4:07 am
witnesses. they are not your typical law-enforcement witnesses who you could argue are biased. these are people who have come forward and are clearly insiders and in trump's inner circle, and they felt compelled or were in fact compelled to provide this information to support the affidavit. >> in reading this affidavit, does it look to you like the justice department exhausted all other options before seeking the search? >> of course, a lot of it is rejected and so we don't have all the information of what doj did, what steps it took, but that is one of the things that the federal magistrate judge would have had to satisfy himself, that all other steps were taken. so like i said, a lot of it has been redacted. we've heard public reporting about multiple meetings,
4:08 am
including a grand jury subpoena, including acquiring surveillance video from the premises, so all of that would have to be laid out in order to assure the judge that less intrusive means has been attempted and have failed. >> danya perry, thanks for your time tonight . it was a brutal day on wall street.every major index posting a sea of red. the dow closed down more than 1000 points, the worst day since mid june. s&p down 141. it is off more than 10% this year. the biggest loser, the nasdaq closed nearly 4%. the markets went into freefall after the fed chair, j powell, warmed more rate hikes are coming. today, he delivered a speech in jackson hole, wyoming. he said the fed will have to get
4:09 am
more aggressive to get the near record inflation under control, but he warns that will come at a cost >> there will very likely be some softening of labor market conditions while higher interest rates, slower growth and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses. these are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation, but a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain. >> softening of labor market conditions. in people speak, jobs will be lost, people will be unemployed. fed officials have seen some encouraging signs that inflation is easing. the labor market reports consumer prices jumped 8.5% last month from a year ago. that is a hair lower than the 9.1% year-over-year in june. in a moment, cbcs dominic on the bloodbath.
4:10 am
first, steve liesman injected whole. >> it's hard to quantify, but there has been this lingering question. what would the fed do if we were really in a recession? normally if the economy declines meaningfully the fed starts to help people by cutting interest rates. they reacted very quickly when the pandemic hit ringing interest rates down to zero just a few weeks into the pandemic. powell said today sorry, folks, inflation is such a big problem were not going to be able to help out this time. he is saying the unemployment rate may go up. the economy may contract but the fed is going to have to keep raising rates or keep them high because the outcome will be worse if you let inflation
4:11 am
smolder. the markets got a sobering message today. there is a level of pain the fed is willing to take to fight inflation. >> some economists have said there have been recent signs that inflation has peaked. what is powell's view on that? >> some of the hottest items that have driven inflation, oil and gas, those prices are down. commodity prices are down and those declines are going to show up we think in the consumer price indices ready soon, and that the supermarkets obviously. but, it is not those prices that have spooked the spit fed. broad-based pricing throughout the economy is what has them worried. service prices are rising. housing pricing and personal care were standouts to the fed. the fed's message is pretty clear. not enough to stop the rate hike trained and one official yesterday told us that she needs to see three months at least of inflation coming down before she is confident that it is moving back toward their 2%
4:12 am
target. we use the number 8 1/2% before. two is the target. >> steve liesman live lesson jackson hole. let's turn to market correspondent, dominic chu. the s&p is down 4% on the week. do you see the markets retesting lows here? >> that is the key question right now and the reason why a lot of folks out there are trying to figure out whether today's down move is the precursor for something bigger, to retest those lows that we saw earlier this summer. to put all this in context, we are going to put the nasdaq and posit up there. the technology stock trade has been them epicenter of volatility. where we stand right now from the records that highs we saw last fall, we are down roughly about 25% from those record high levels. if you take a look at where we are from the lows here, we are
4:13 am
still up about 15%, so this is a territory where we are still in that so-called bear market, but we are not yet testing those lows, so the key will be whether or not some stability can be brought back. one place traders are keeping a close eye on is consumer trade and steve alluded to it in the previous segment.right now, everyone is watching inflation and whether the consumer spending picture can hold up .here is one chart that lays out how bad it has gotten for certain parts of the consumer market versus others. the white line is consumer discretionary stocks, the stuff we can buy, that we want to buy, not the stuff that we nee . meanwhile, the orange line up top is the consumer staples trade. cereal, toilet paper, dish soap, diapers. those companies have actually done pretty well given the market downtrend. they are still only down about 4% on the year versus a 22% client for those discretionary stocks and that gap is something a lot of traders going to be watching.
4:14 am
one place to keep a close eye on is the health of the overall economy. one thing that could tell you more about those prospects would come in the high-yield or junk yard bond market. these are companies that may not have the strength to weather an economic downtrend. watch this right-hand side, whether these companies and these bonds doers, that will tell us something about prospects for a recession down the line. >> we will see what monday brings. the nfl season kicks off in less than two weeks, but a disturbing new allegation is rattling one of the league's top teams. what we are learning about the player accused of a serious crime, and how he has responded. plus, criminals fleecing the u.s. government for hundreds of millions of dollars in covid relief money. what the secret service just did to get some of it back.

4:18 am
>> today on twitter, gilly and releasing her diary entry from the day after. later writing i saw/come on, maybe someone recorded, and allegation that is also in the civil complaint. araiza saying in part, i had a private investigator get on the case right away. i do 100% not believe that matt araiza rates this girl or her while intoxicated. araiza is named pants god for his kicks. he was drafted last year. a spokesperson said they were recently made aware of the civil complaint and conducted an investigation for this matter. a spokesperson for the nfl that they are aware of this matter and declined to conduct comet. other players for the nfl have been suspended over allegations of sexual assault.
4:19 am
both men deny allegations. what separates araiza's case is the allegations are from his time before the nfl. >> because it happened before araiza was drafted before the bills, the nfl can do nothing about it under the personal conduct policy. if you would ever get in trouble in the future he could have expedited or enhanced punishment because of this. >> the bills have their final preseason game tonight. he is not playing. the girl's family has been in therapy for the last nine months. the secret service recovering $286 million in stolen covid relief money that was meant for struggling small businesses during the pandemic .officials say it is one of the largest financial crime investigations that the agency has ever undertaken. federal investigators say the thieves used thousands of stolen and fake identities to

rake in pandemic relief loans in a sweeping and ordinate its game. unfortunately, it is just a drop in the bucket of billions of dollars of covid relief money that fraudsters stole. kate, how did the secret service track down this money? >> the secret service had more than 15,000 accounts used in this multimillion dollar conspiracy by individuals in the u.s. as well as domestic and transnational organized crime rings. the suspects used green.bank to hold and move the fraudulent fans. investigations initiated the majority of the accounts were established with fake and stolen identities and willing or unwilling money mules. >> i think fraudsters, in general, are always looking for ways and techniques to better do their crimes. modern conveniences are just one of those things they use. currently cryptocurrency is a
4:21 am
big thing. third-party payment systems, but there is not an institution, even our traditional financial institutions, that were not targeted during the pandemic.>> advisories were sent out from the small business administration's office of inspector general to 30,000 financial institutions in early 2020 to layout fraud indicators and to encourage working together to catch these criminals. that led to green dot working with the agencies to recover these funds. further information on the suspects has not been released. investigations will likely last years due to the size and scope. criminal charges have not yet been announced. fraud has been rampant in pandemic aid programs. $87 billion of potentially fraudulent loans have been identified over the past two years. the secret service says it has seized over 1.4 billion in

4:32 am
jim free, the head of nasa's program to return humans to the moon. at first, how far we've come since the first apollo missions. things are a little more updated now. for example, this is the old apollo spacesuit, and here's the new version for artemis. these suits have cooling technology and can keep astronauts alive on their own for six days. the new orion capsule is bigger. four astronauts can fit inside. apollo could only hold three. ryan also has exercise equipment, even a compact toilet. nbc's tom costello spoke with both the artemis and apollo flight directors about how far we have come. >> reporter: step inside one of the most iconic symbols of america's space program, nassau's original mission control, restored as a museum down to the ashtray, rc cola can and slide rule. to that day in 1969 when apollo
4:33 am
11 landed on the moon. nine months later, the drama of apollo 13 played out here. >> okay we have a problem here. houston, we have a problem. >> reporter: what is it like to come back and see this in stand here now? we asked apollo flight directo , 90 years old, to come back. >> it's what the spacecraft is doing, what the systems are doing. >> it is hallowed ground for you walk in here and still have memorabilia on the wall that reminds you of these accomplishments these guys did and apollo days. >> reporter: the lead director for monday's artemis mission to the moon. >> when these guys did it, nobody had done it before. we are writing on their shoulders because they figured it out for us. >> the physics has not changed.
4:34 am
so, a lot of the things are different. the tools are different. >> reporter: newton's laws of motion are the same, but technology has come a long way since 1969. >> reporter: there is more computing power in my cell phone then you had during the apollo days. how did you do that? >> well, that is all we had. we did with what we had. we didn't know what we didn't have. >> my generation looks back at what they accomplished and wonders how they did it. >> reporter: in 1965, they ran every apollo mission out of here, every moon landing and then they ran skylab and shuttle missions, enclosing the loss of challenger. today, an updated mission control runs the space station and the upcoming artemis moon mission. >> we learned from their generation how to plan a very complex mission, and how to go and train it. that is the big part. we train it. >> reporter: a new generation planning to return to the moon and stay with a nod to the
4:35 am
apollo team that made it possible. for the news, i'm tom costello. >> jim freeze with us now, the associate administrator for exploration systems development at nasa. he is also part of the program to return chris to the moon. jim, great to have you. no crew on this test flight, obviously, but if it all goes well, what is your number one priority for this mission as you put the spacecraft through its paces? >> three objectives we have. to test the vehicle, which includes getting it into orbit, to test the heat shield when the capsule comes back, and to recover the vehicle. we are going to push the vehicle further than we would with crew on there so we really exercise the systems. if we accomplish those three things, our mission is done. >> also reports this is all part of an effort to eventually
4:36 am
create a permanent base on the moon. is the gold have astronauts of their 24/7? >> no, we would not. our goal is to get for four crew members down to the surface for 30 days. that is what we are planning because then we get the maximum use of the systems we eventually need to go on to mars. we need to test them in the partial gravity of the moon and then we are hoping that other international and commercial entities come with us to expand that base. they can use the base for their own purposes, but 30 days on the surface for four people is our goal. >> there have been some cost overruns and scheduling delays in the artemis program, but assuming all goes well with this mission, how comfortable are you that they will have astronauts back on the moon, let's say within three or four years. >> if we do well on this mission and the chief those objectives, we will be able to get there. we are hoping our target for a
4:37 am
crew on the moon is 2025 and in between now and then, we will slay a crew around the moon, much like apollo 8, to test out the vehicle with crew in it before we try to go down to the lunar surface, so our target is 2025 we have tested this vehicle on the ground as much as we can, and our next step is to really put it in orbit and put it through its paces there and the next time get it ready for crew. head jim free, cannot wait to watch it all happen. thanks so much for your time tonight, and good luck. an american city, a citizen fighting in ukraine has died. that today from the state department. officials have not identified the victim but say they are in touch with the family. the state department has urged americans to get out of ukraine immediately. meantime, europe's largest nuclear power plant in ukraine back on the power grid and

the kabul airport. that is where thousands of desperate afghans gathered, hoping to catch one of the last u.s. flights out of the country. 13 u.s. service members killed, more than 170 afghan civilians dead. the president's chief of staff called it the darkest day inside the biden white house. these are the americans the attackers killed, 11 marines, a soldier, and a sailor, several of them just 20 years old. in a statement today, president biden called them all heroes who work to save lives. he wrote in part, i am praying for the families of those 13 fallen warriors who lost a piece of their soul one year ago. nbc's pentagon correspondent spoke with some of the servicemembers who were there that day. >> those marines made a huge impact to plenty of marines around them, they were role
4:40 am
models. >> reporter: chief foreign offer sasha savage was there in kabul last august, leading a team of female marines, their assignment, searching the women and girls arriving at the airport.>> it is hard to see that from like an outsider looking in. people are trying to get to you so they can move on and get to a safer place. >> reporter: the mission a heartbreaking one form or in gunnery sergeant zachary. a father himself, he says he became emotional seeing a young mother with her infant child being crushed by the crowd. he is the marines seen in this now viral video, lifting the 16- day-old afghan boy up over barbed wire to safety. >> reporter: what was it that made you say i need to reach out and help this infant? >> i think it just strikes a nerve. you become empathetic and try to put yourself in their shoes. being deployed there and how things ended for them, it was just a moment that i would hope if that ever happened to me,
4:41 am
somebody would do the same. >> reporter: the mission, as upsetting as it was dangerous. the pentagon concluded that a soul isis, carrying 20 pounds of explosives got past the taliban checkpoint and detonated his suicide vest. it would become one of the hardest days of joe biden's presidency. >> do you bear any responsibility for the way things have unfolded in the last two weeks? >> i bear responsibility for fundamentally all that is happened. >> reporter: defense secretary lloyd austin today in a statement asking all americans to pause in solemn remembrance of the lives lost that day. >> those marines did make the ultimate sacrifice but they did that doing what they love. >> reporter: despite the heartbreak felt on today's anniversary, both marines told me they still feel a tremendous amount of pride about all the people they were able to help during last year's withdrawal.

4:44 am
the color quite putting. the work trend does not actually involve quitting at all, just doing a lot less. like working overtime? no thanks. some workers are you it is about finding a work-life balance. others don't see it that way. in a recent post on linkedin, arianna huffington wrote quiet quitting isn't just about quitting on a job, it's a step toward quitting on life. our next guest agrees. mr. wonderful is here, kevin o'leary, cohost on shark tank and chairman of o'leary ventures. i product of unemployment or
4:45 am
long-term thing? >> you know, the economy is changing. obviously we are going into a whole new metric where some people work at home, some people go back to the office. we don't know how it's going to shake out in the long run. it is more project based.in other words, you're hired in your tested to finish things off. some ideas are bad ideas and some ideas are stupid ideas, but very rarely can you combine both and that is what we have here. this is the dumbest idea i've ever heard in launching a career and what i'm hoping i can do, and i've told the recruiters, as i've got about 10,000 people in the companies we are investors in, plus these investor chains. i've asked them, can we identify these people early and help them get jobs with our competitors? if you are a quiet quitter, you are a loser. you are an american. that's what i think. >> workers are so in demand. we started talking a year and a half ago about how power to the
4:46 am
workers. this is part of that, right? >> it could be, but really your job is to find something you are passionate about and find a way to work with your team. really, it is about culture. i am an investor in small business in america. that is 65% of our economy. these are family businesses. you build a culture. when you bring somebody in that slams shut their laptop at 5:00, you are introducing a cancer into your culture. eventually, you're going to have to do surgery and cut it out. the whole idea would be avoid these people. i don't know where this started. it is the worst idea i have ever heard because it is against what we do in business. we try to build teams that work together, achieve something, set objectives and work together. it does not matter whether you are working anymore at 6:00 a.m. or 2:00 in the morning. you are just giving your job done. that's the freedom the economy is giving you out in distant
4:47 am
spaces. no one is asking you to work 9:00 to 5:00. they're just asking you to get your job done. this is like a virus. this is worse than covid. >> i got it. you are on the fence about quiet quitting. all day long around here, we have been reporting on what an awful day it was on the street. do you see the market downward trend continuing now? >> yes, i do, for a while. we have really got to adjust to the hawkish comments powell made today, and that is okay. i have seen this multiple times. any investor who is invested for more than 20 years has been through multiple cycles like this. at the end of the day, you get that jolts down, almost 1000 points. volatility is really the hallmark of fed rate hikes, but we have a remarkably strong economy and that is because we printed over $6 billion and it is still sloshing around out there. the reason we have inflation is because we keep printing.
4:48 am
