right. i remember the moment when the truck hit me. there was nothing i can do. the driver here was clearly at fault, but the insurance company kept saying we're not going to pay. we tracked down surveillance footage proving the driver was on his phone when he crashed. but even then, they kept saying, they're not going to pay. they're not going to pay. they're not going to pay. but the lowe brothers fought for me. and at the end, hi, everyone, i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, monday, june 2nd,

2025, targeted attack. a man is expected in a colorado courtroom after he allegedly used molotov cocktails to attack a march for israeli hostages. we've got the latest on the condition of the victims and the latest in the investigation. tale of the tape, a supervisor at the los angeles hotel where security footage captured sean diddy combs attacking cassie ventura is expected to appear in court today. what his testimony could mean for that case. our friend and colleague, tom llamas, takes other the nbc news anchor chair tonight. what he's looking forward to ahead of his historic broadcast. have you heard about the labubus, we'll show you what's behind the mania over these little monsters. >> labubu who? we will be saying that. >> we'll get to it. we're going to start this hour with the very latest on that

suspected terror attack targeting a peaceful march in colorado. >> authorities say a man who is now charged with a hate crime used molotov cocktails to set fire to a group of people who were marching in support of hostages being held in gaza. it happened on sunday. the fbi says witnesses heard the man yelling free palestine during the attack. eight people in total were hurt. their ages range from 52 years old to 88. here's what some eyewitnesss told us about what they saw. >> he had three molotov cocktails. one of them he threw inside a group, and one lady lit on fire from head to toe. >> she, like, her clothes were basically burned off her body. >> laying on the ground with bad burns on her legs. >> authorities have identified the suspect seen here as 45-year-old from egypt. a newly filed criminal complaint

said he told authorities he planned the attack over the course of a year. investigators found 14 unlit molotovs at the scene. president trump saying in part, quote, this is yet another example of why we must keep our borders secure and deport illegal anti-american radicals from our homeland. my heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy. >> nbc news law enforcement and intelligence correspondent tom winter joins us now. i know we have some new court documents that reveal a little bit more detail about the attack. what are we learning. >> a lot of detail, and according to the charging documents a lot of detail comes from him himself. he continued in an interview with law enforcement where he says he has been planning this attack for over a year, that if given the opportunity he would carry the attack out again. he says that he researched how

to make these molotov cocktails on you tube. he left behind a phone as well as a personal diary and messag to his family. putting it all together, along with law enforcement, they were clearly antiisraeli, anti-jewish. law enforcement felt comfortable to count with a single count of a hate crime. by the time we get to the indictment, it's likely the charges will be upgraded or added to. >> this comes two weeks aft deadly attack of israeli embassy workers. how is law enforcement thinking about these numerous anti-semitic attacks. >> if there's any question as far as the target on the jewish community in the country between the rise in anti-semitic incidents we have seen, they have been well documented, combined with the last several weeks of these violent attacks, killing at least two individuals a. number of people hurt. this attack nearly almost entirely captured by people who were nearby on their phones. law enforcement is definitely focused on the jewish community,

and large cities are preparing for it. in smaller cities it becomes a resource issue. clearly now it's something that can't be avoided as far as providing a uniform presence and really being there for these potential rallies. >> i mentioned one of the hard parts here, this person, it looks like acted alone. how do you stop one single person from doing something awful ahead of time. >> that's the thing, if you can find out about something in advance, that's the best security, you can stop them before it happens. based on all of our reporting and where the investigation is so far, with an asterisk on that, there's nothing that indicated this person had a large social media presence, that they were talking about doing some sort of attack, and of course they could google molotov cocktails or you tube them. 14 others were found at the scene, the fbi says. that's not a violation of u.s. law. first amendment, fourth amendment protections to look up those exact things. this is a challenge as far as signaling on an individual that can carry out an event or

incident like this. >> tom winter with the latest for us. thank you so much. the fourth week of testimony is underway now in the federal sex trafficking trial of scene diddy combs. >> a former assistant of combs returned for her third day on the stand testifying under the pseudonym mia. she alleged last week that combs sexually assaulted her and threatened her life. the defense today challenged that account during cross-examination. combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges in that case. >> nbc news entertainment correspondent, chloe melas is outside the courthouse in new york city. how is the defense trying to poke holes in mia's testimony today? >> one of the main things they focused on is over the course of eight years that she worked for combs and in all the years after she never told family, friends, she never told anybody about this, and even when she met with new york prosecutors over 20 times, that over the course of the first few meetings, she never told them about the sexual abuse that she allegedly was subjected to while workinfor

combs. they also pointed out text messages and e-mails between herself and combs past the point she was no longer working for combs. if he was such a monster, if this was somebody who made your life a living hell, how could you reach out to him and say you love him. she said she's unpacking this with a therapist, that she was brain washed and she said to prosecutors that she didn't really remember those meetings with prosecutors and couldn't speak to it, but it did raise a lot of questions today during cross-examination. >> and chloe, who else are jurors hearing from today? >> mia is now done, and on the stand we have a custodian worker who worked at a hotel in beverly hills. they're going to be talking about what they saw. we're also going to be hearing from a forensic video expert who's going to be analyzing that 2016 security footage of cassie ventura being brutally beaten by

combs. we're going to their about perhaps how that video was filmed on its iphone, and whether there was any editing done to it. >> chloe melas for us. thank you. trade tensions between the united stat and cha are heating up once again. the white house said today president trump and china's president will likely talk sometime this week. both countries are accusing the other of violating a trade agreement they came to last month. meanwhile, tariffs on imported steel and aluminum are set to double on wednesday. president trump announced that increase from 25% up to 50% last friday. >> nbc news senior business correspondent christine romans joins us now. let's start with the u.s. and china, the two largest economies in the world, so what happens if these trade talks fall apart. >> yeah, it really is not an option here. there's so much important stuff that the u.s. imports from china and vice versa, especially for american farmers and ranchers who produced so many goods that are sent to china.

where we are right now is here's the eef. the beef is china says the united states can't bring student visas. the u.s. doesn't allow, you know, chips, ai chips to be sold into china. and the u.s. is mad because they say that china is slow walking rare earth minerals exports into the u.s. that's where the beef is right now. >> can we switch over to the tariffs that we were talking about on aluminum and steel going up, that happens wednesday. how will that impact consumers? >> one fast food company, a chicken company said the highest cost of chicken would raise prices. a chicken company is worried about aluminum school tariffs, that's because they are important building blocks of so many things made in the country. domestic producers are doing great today, but a lot of companies in the u.s. import steel and aluminum. about a quarter of the steel and aluminum use in the u.s. is imported. that's going to have knock on

effects. that goes into effect on wednesday. >> speaking of companies speaking out, we heard from the ceo of campbell, there are record levels of people cooking at home since the star of the pandemic. i imagine that's not just people on a meal prep cook. what should we read into that? >> they are searching for values. trying to get the most of that you are grocery bill or food budget and that means buying more food. an interesting thing about that, you have prego, they make soups, it's a huge company, but they noted it was younger millennial consumers who were sort of driving this trend, which i found interesting. >> stopped going out with all of their friends as much. >> maybe cooking at home with friend. >> what about the markets real quick, how are they responding? >> they're searching for direction. they were concerned about the renewed flare up in tensions. if you're a boring buy and hold investor, like i suspect the

three of us are. last month was the best month since 2023 for the stock market, even with all of this drama. take it easy, and today, i think after a good month in the stock market, renewed fears about the trade war, taking a step back, nothing to get too concerned about. >> christine romans, thank you so much. >> and it's time for more consumer news now. meta is aiming to bring ai to advertising. >> and "lilo & stitch" dominates the box office again. bertha coombs joins us with money minute. >> meta plans to allow brands to fully create and target ads using ai by the end of next year. according to the "wall street journal," and echoes what ceo mark zuckerberg has been saying recently. meta already offers some ai tools to generate variations on existing ads. the plan is to allow the creation of advertising from scratch using ai.

meantime, "lilo & stitch" and mission impossible dominating the box office again, after helping to fuel a record breaking memorial day weekend. didisney's ve action remake of "lilo & stitch" taking first place with $63 million, enough to pass sinners as the second highest grossing movie of the year with 280 million in domestic ticket sales. so is this going to be the lilo impossible, like barbenheimer type of thing. >> my nieces went to see it, and love loved it. >> the comeback is real. >> thank you. coming up, "nbc nightly news" has a new but familiar face in the anchor chair tonight. >> we sit down with tom llamas before he takes the chair in the broadcast. a family in florida gets a jaw dropping skov ri in the

backyard pool, how they managed to break up the pool party. >> ahead on "nbc news daily." i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms... ...with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after trying humira, rinvoq works differently. rinvoq is a once-daily pill from the makers of humira that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling as fast as 2 weeks for some. and even at the 3-year mark, many people felt this relief. rinvoq can stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower ability to fight infections. before treatment, test for tb and do bloodwork. serious infections, blood clots, some fatal;

part of the team, and five minutes later, i saw conan o'brien in the lunchroom. i was like, this guy is huge. what a cool place to work. it's been a lot since then. it's been a lot of work, and as you know, kate, it's like a lot of weekends, a lot of sacrifices, a lot of running to news and being there for the viewers, and that's what i hope to keep doing. >> since you first walked in, you have been around the news block. you came back in 2021, which was actually the year i joined, and i was struck that you were so open in giving advice, lent me a book. i wonder if there's advice you've gotten ahead of tonight's broadcast that you're holding close. >> after i got the job, i reached out to the mentors and bosses and people who took time to say, hey, this is the way you should do things. when i asked for advice, they helped me. there's a great guy, a mentor and friend at another network, rye byron pits, and he said there's givers and takers in this business. you have to decide who you want to be, i think it's always going

to be a giver. it's hard in this business. everyone is very focused and competitive. i'm one of them, but you always stood out, you came with ideas, i knew you wanted to work and break out and tell your own stories, and i mean, to be honest, that's what i try to do too. >> tom, you are making history, right, you're the first latino to anchor an evening news broadcast weekday. that has not happened before. you're the son of cuban immigrants. >> yeah. >> how do you reflect on that? >> it's wild. i say this, you know, i sound almost like a broken record saying this. it's so true. it's like my parents came here with nothing. this country gave them a second chance, a second home. they've learned to love this country. they taught me and my brother to love this country, and taught us hard work. we were always talking about news. they helped with my education. for them to come here with nothing, really just desperate, and now that their son going to anchor "nightly news," it's the american dream. i believe it's still alive because i'm living it. >> that's emotional. >> it is emotional.

i have to watch myself. and i think about jose diaz-balart, when i was growing up, i was watching him. local news, jackie nespral. jorge ramos, gave me my first tour of the newsroom. he texted me today. these are good people. givers and takers. i would look up to these people, and i stand on their shoulders. >> you follow a legacy of trail blazers but you're also doing a new path because you're still anchoring "top story with tom llamas," how is that going to work? because that show starts at 7:00. nightly starts at 6:30 eastern. >> there have been a lot of people stressed out here. as soon as "nightly" ends, they're going to flip a switch, and i say flip a switch, but there's a lot of switches, and they're going to change the studio immediately to do top story. >> you'll reach a lot more people. >> you know this. you obviously work here in broadcast. we're also streaming the show, and i found that there's people that are watching streaming and there are people watching broadcast. sometimes they mix. a lot of times they don't. we want to make sure we get everybody.

that's how you survive. >> have you come up with what you're going to say at the end of the broadcast? >> i'm working on some lines >> you want to run them by us. >> i feel like it has to be organic. if you overthink it, it doesn't work. you guys also know this, 99% of the job is what happens before you say the last line. that's what i'm focused on right now. >> tom llamas, congratulations, >> thank you for having me. >> and don't miss him tonight.

help him calm down. at one point, his attorney says he saw another police car and he sped off, which triggered this chase by law enforcement. with hernandez garcia eventually losing control and allegedly causing that fatal collision with another oakland high school teacher. now, when he appears before a judge this morning, he is expected to ask for a continuance. in other words, more time to come back in about two and a half weeks to enter a plea to multiple felony charges, including vehicular manslaughter, for the killing of doctor marvin boomer. doctor boomer taught at. castlemont high school in oakland. people remember him for making math a fun subject to learn and inspiring his students to become teachers as well. tragically, doctor boomer was killed last wednesday evening, his death recorded by a surveillance camera. he and a woman were walking down a sidewalk on east 21st street when hernandez garcia lost control of his mom's infiniti, hit a fire hydrant while trying to evade police during that chase. doctor boomer and the woman tried to run away. the woman survived with injuries. doctor boomer sadly died at the scene this past

friday. more than 100 people gathered near the scene of the crash to mourn and remember him. it was really unreal. like it's devastating. like i'm still trying to process it. chp had been pursuing the suspect, but chp says they terminated the pursuit prior to the crash. witnesses to the crash questioned whether or not that is true, given that a squad car wasn't far behind and rolled up on the scene. within seconds of the crash, hernandez garcia tried to runn away from the scene, but was captured a short distance away. his attorney says that he did not have drugs or weapons on him in that car. here in oakland. bob redell, nbc bay area news. thank you, bob, for the update. here's some other stories you need to know aboutu. several bay area fire departments declared the official start of fire season. but first, an update on a story we've been following closely. a transgender athlete shook off recent controversy to take home two gold medals at the state high school track and field championships this weekend. ashby hernandez is from southern california. she took first place

of any agreement on a cease fire. the senate is now tasked with taking up president trump's multitrillion dollar tax reform and spending bill. the president's first major legislation of his second term narrowly passed the house last month by one vote to be exact. although most republicans support the bill, some are voicing criticism, especially around the changes that it would make to medicaid. earlier today, protesters who are opposed to the bill marched in washington, d.c. as well. joining us now, nbc news capitol hill correspondent julie tsirkin. i know you're tracking the minute by minute. what exactly would the house passed version of the bill mean for medicaid, and why are some senators opposed to the house exchanges? >> reporter: the congssional budget office, which is of course nonpartisan, despblicans assessments they have made of the piece of legislation says that millions of americans could end up without health insurance

coverage because of the reforms that house republicans tap into, the medicaid portion of their bill. most importantly it would step up enforcement provisions of medicaid, but it would also impose work requirements for the first time. 20 hours a week, 80 hours a month on eligible individuals between the ages of 19 and 64. speaker johnson defended that over the weekend. senate republicans, as you mentioned, kate, have serious questions about it. josh hawley, for example, is saying this could lead to rural hospitals losing funding they get. a lot of people who rely on medicaid and these benefits hail from red and rural areas. and senate republicans who control and represent constituents across the state can tolerate a lot less politically and practically. >> if the senate makes changes to the bill, it has to go back to the house again, right? are there other parts that senate republicans are not on board with? what are senate democrats

saying? >> reporter: they make any change, it could be one word. they would have to send it back to the house and the house would have to vote on it again. we know how hard it was for speaker johnson with his tiny majority to get all of the votes in the first place. he's telling the senate, don't change the bill and send it back ass is. they're not going to do that. we heard from the top republican in the senate, john thune, who said they're going to amend the bill. they're not going to rewrite it as some republicans want, but they are going to change. in addition to josh hawley on medicaid, you have other republicans, senator rand paul, ron johnson who is right now, holding a town hall pressing him about what's in the big. it doesn't cut the deficit by enough. rand paul told me that nothing president trump says to him could get him to vote for this. lisa murkowski, senators from energy producing states who are worried about the impacts of rolling back the clean energy tax credits and for democrats'

part, we have a colleague where he said he's been in close touch, close contact with hakeem jeffries, the top democrat in the house to make sure that democrats could potentially block anything the senate sends back. for him this is just beginning. we'll see if they can get it done by july 4th. >> julie following all of it, thank you. the cdc is issuing a warning for americans that are traveling as measles cases surge across the united states. it comes as officials confirm four travelers from the same flight into the denver airport last month contracted the virus. among them a 5-year-old. as of today, 1,100 measles cases have been reported in the u.s. so far this year. nbc news medical reporter joins us now. what more do we know about the cases popping up in airports and, what is the cdc saying about how travelers can stay safe? >> reporter: international

travel is linked to almost all of the measles cases cropping up in the u.s. right now. you mentioned the turkish airlines that landed in denver airport last week. in addition to the four people on the plane, there were two others who were exposed and got sick because they were in the same airport. now, the cdc updated its travel advisory recently saying that anyone who's going overseas including canada, mexico, need to make sure they have been vaccinated against the measles. if not, the cdc says babies as young as six months old can go ahead and get the first dose, early dose of the mmr vaccine, up to two weeks before their trip, and d older adts who don't know if they have been vaccinated or not, can get two doses 28 days before their trip . if they can't get vaccinated. the cdc says to postpone the

trip. >> >> if somebody has potentially been exposed to the measles virus like the people on the flight into denver, how would -- what should you do? >> first of all, watch for symptoms. first of all, obviously, that telltale rash that usually starts on the forehead and goes down the body, down your torso. other symptoms can include routine nose, cough, high fever, red, itchy, irritated eyes, and those symptoms can pop up up to three weeks after an exposure. if you're concerned, if you feel like you need tested or treatment, the cdc says don't just show up to the doctor's office or emergency room, call ahead so you don't unknowingly spread the virus to others who are vulnerable. >> what should someone do if they have a trip coming up, everything is booked, paid for, but they're not vaccinated against the measles? >> well, it needs to be at least

two weeks ahead of that trip where people, the cdc now says need to be vaccinated. and, you know, the good news is that even if you are vaccinated as a baby and you're an adult right now, the cdc says those shots are 96% protective against infection and that usually lasts for a lifetime. if you're unsure, you can't work anything out, you can go through a doctor, get a blood test to see if you still have immunity. zinhle. >>er thank you so much. they are cute, they are plushy, and they are the latest obsession taking over social media. >> have you heard of the these viral toys calls labubus? you may have seen them on tiktok. we sent nbc's brian cheung to investigate what's behind the labubu love. brian, what is everyone talking about? >> if you walk down fifth avenue and pay close enough attention, you'll see them. they're on purses, back packs,

problem, meaning the robot has to reason about how its placements now affect the future. and it wouldn't want to place a small, fragile item on the bottom of a pallet because it could get collapsed later on. amber won't say who's buying these new machines, but they say they're sold out. much of the staff, by the way, coming from just down the street from uc berkeley, coming from the academic world, we always had this thesis that creating robots would make better jobs for people, and it was really amazing to watch that unfold in real life. a texas based startup is reporting the successful implant of a brain computer interface for the first time. paradromius is based in austin. it actually has an office in oakland as well. the procedure involved implanting and then removing its technology from a 20 minute span. the patient was already undergoing brain surgery for epilepsy. the company hopes to receive regulators approval for a clinical trial later this year, and that does it for this
