Critical Supreme Court vacancy left by the death on friday of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. The president at a rally last night announcing he will move a woman to the bench next week as the crowd chanted, fill that seat. Obamas pick four years ago was an allout fight. How will this play out in the middle of a campaign . America consumed by extreme weather. From wildfires in the west to hurricanes in the east, and why the historic disasters of this seas de to become the norm. Plus our sunday spotlight on the legacy of Justice Ginsburg as a pioneering advocate for women and a recent icon for Younger Generations chl. And then we will turn to a Higher Energy new sunday sitdown with grammy winner mogul d. J. Callum, and the daily affirmation he has turned into a cultural catch phrase. I wake up in the morning, i pray to god, i kiss my family, and i look in that mirror after i take a shower and say, we the best. And god is great. Im telling you the truth. A sunday sitdown with d. J. Callun plus another life well lived. First lets follstart with tension following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The president telling a rally that he will fill ginsburgs seat with just 45 days before the election. Democrats are looking for a fight and want a handful of republicans to join them. Garrett is at the white house. Good morning. Reporter it can be brutal in normal political times, and now with just 45 days before election day, these are anything but normal political times, and the fight shaping up for the future of this court should prove historic. With the supporters urging him to act overnight in north carolina, President Trump committing to replace the longestserving woman in the Supreme Courts history with another woman. I will be putting forth a nominee next week. It will be a woman, a very talented, very brilliant woman. Reporter multiple sources tell nbc news federal Appeals Court judge Amy Conan Barrett has become a frontrunner as President Trumps choice, but no decision has been made. Mitch mcconnell said he will move to get a vote, over the objections of democrats who says the winner of novembers election should get to decide who sits on the court. The republicans basically stole that seat the last time, and now theyre trying to do it again, and the public must speak up. Reporter democrats spoke to the precedence to even hold a hearing with president obama. The president said then that the next president should make the pick. Lindsey graham in 2016. I want you to use my words against me. If there is a republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year before the next term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let the next president , whoever it might be, make that nomination. You can use my words and you would be right. Reporter lindseyrecently sa President Trump regarding any vacancy after the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Reporter Merrick Garland didnt get a chance to move forward. That was in an Election Year. Why should your pick get to move forward in an Election Year . Thats the consequence of losing an election. When you lose an election, sometimes things dont work out well. Reporter the president may be stymied by fellow republicans. Susan collins said, the decision for the next senate seat should be made after november 3rd. We have an obligation. We won. Reporter so the question now is will the republicans have the vote . You heard from Susan Collins. Also Lisa Murkowski said she did not agree with sitting a justice before the election. All the republicans will need is 50 votes. Garrett, we got word yesterday federal officials intercepted an envelope addressed to the white house, the building behind you there containing the poison ricin. What can you tell us about that . Reporter they intercepted an envelope and took it to this building that investigates. They said this letter may have originated in canada. Willie . Glad they tracked that down. Thanks so much, garrett. Chuck todd is political moderator of meet the press. Chuck, good morning. What a morning you have on meet the press. So much to talk about here. Youre so good about this. Lets talk about how this is going to happen. We heard in garretts piece, all the hypocrisy of what republicans said in 2016 versus what theyre sayinhiing about. We kn we know the democrats are trying to get a handful of republicans on their side. Lets say the president puts out his nominee next week. What happens between now and election day . Folks ive been talking to on both sides of the aisle say, look, a confirmation hearing, the naming and a confirmation hearing in october is very likely. Not many folks seem to think there is a plausible path to holding an actual vote on a Supreme Court nominee before election day. In fact, there is some thinking that in some ways Mitch Mcconnell might not have the votes. It might be easier for him to get the votes of, say, people like cory gardner or Susan Collins after election day, not before election day. Then theres President Trump who, in his own mind, he believes in some ways the scalia seat was one of the reasons that got skeptical republicans to, quote, come home, so leaving it out there almost as a carrot to incentivize people to vote is something the president wants. The most likely scenario is a naming, confirmation process, then, of course, an attempt at a confirmation after the election. But there is three potential scenarios after the election. Trump wins, then nominee gets confirmed. Trump loses but republicans hold the senate, its going to be a knockdown, dragout fight. Republicans will try. Well see if they have the votes. If democrats win the senate and the presidency, even though republicans have control, everybody i talked to said they could not imagine a scenario that republicans would have the vote to confirm anybody. Those are your three scenarios there post election. Its amazing. Youre rolling out a new nbc wall street journal poll today that shows just how solidified peoples minds are about this election. There is a small sliver of the population thats still deciding. What do you think the impact, if it plays out the way you just laid out, and thats hanging out there on election day, republicans will say thats how high the stakes are, democrats will say the same, its about the Supreme Court. What impact do you think that will have on the vote . Look, what impact did impeachment, pandemic, global recession, social unrest, now this . Nothing has seemed to change the trajectory of this race for two years now, which is Donald Trumps behind, its a referendum on him. I dont think this will change it, either. That doesnt mean the republican candidates really want to. Republican Senate Candidates in most states desperately want to change the subject. The question is, what will be on the minds of voters over the next six weeks, the virus or this court pick . Heres the thing. Every time republicans hoped it would be something else, it does seem like the virus is front and center. Today were hitting 200,000 deaths, willie. Yes, we are. Buckle up for the next six weeks. Chuck todd, thanks so much. Well look for so much more this morning on meet the press about the fight coming over the next Supreme Court justice. Among chucks guests, former president ial nominee and secretary of state, hillary clinton. That Supreme Court fight is underway in th chuck just said has now killed more than 200,000 americans, according to our latest nbc news count. Nbcs Morgan Chesky is in dallas with a look at how we got here. Good morning, morgan. Reporter good morning to you. For more than 200,000 americans, this virus has been lifeending, and as scientists race to find a working vaccine, the president and his own medical advisers coming to differing opinions on what our life looks like on the other side of this grim milestone. This morning a devastating chapter in the u. S. Fight against covid19. The virus death toll climbing above 200,000 americans. This week the cdc reversing guidelines after an outcry from health officials, claiming political interference by the trump administration. The cdc now stating, anyone who has come into close contact with a confirmed case should be tested, symptoms or not. The policies coming are which President Trump makes a big promise. 100 million vaccine doses by the end of this year. Hundreds of millions of doses will be available next month and we expect to have vaccines for every american by april. Reporter while early vaccines are expected this year, cdc Officials Say widespread availability will take longer. I think were probably looking at late second quarter, Third Quarter 2021. Reporter so how did we g the first covid19related death was on february 29th. By late may the virus had exploded, claiming the lives of 100,000 others. Today that grim number doubled as a growing vision of how to handle a pandemic continues. Dont make me wear a mask. Reporter becoming a growing mix with massive gatherings and parties. Sturgis was linked to a quarter million cases of covid19, a number of organizers call blatantly faulty part of a dire prediction that came as early as march from dr. Anthony fauci. Looking at what were seeing now, i would say between 100,000 and 200,000 cases, but i dont want to be held to that, because excuse me, deaths. B reporter but this week, President Trump blamed them for this. How . Thousands of americans are dying. Its true. It is what it is. Reporter lives lost coming from every corner of the country. And this week here in texas, due to a decrease in hospitalizations, Governor Greg Abbott is opening the state further, allowing 75 capacity at restaurants and other businesses. This as the state now has the third highest death toll in the country with more than 15,000 lives lost to covid19, that number doubling in just the last two months. Willie . 200,000 americans dead. Morgan, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Also this morning, President Trump has given tentative approval now to a deal that will keep tiktok operating in the United States.

This morning we are kicking off a speci look at the intersection of a rapidly changing climate with politics and a global pandemic. As 80 large fires burn across the west, overnight the bobcat fire outside los angeles grew to 142 square miles, fanned by strong winds and forcing new evacuations. Meanwhile this week, five named storms spun in the atlantic all at the same time. That has not happened since 1971. So what exactly is causing all of this . And is it too late to do something about it . Nbcs ann thompson has our sunday focus. Reporter the impact of Climate Change on full display this week. Parts of california ablaze, streets flooded along the gulf coast, air too thick to see through in portland, oregon. One side of the country on fire, another under watwater, and man asking what role Climate Change plays. In the case of wildfires, cla Climate Change is increasing the areas burned, more than doubling it since the 1980s. In the case of hurricanes, theyre bigger, theyre intensifying faster, theyre stronger and have a lot more rain associated with them today. So in effec so in effect, is Climate Change acteding like steroids . Pre priciselyprecisely. How can these two happen at the same time . We get dryer vegetation, so when a fire ignites, it burns a greater area. But when a storm comes along, there is more water vapor in the air for that storm to sweep up and dump on us. Is there any doubt in your mind that what were seeing are signals of a warming world . Absolutely not. We scientists are. I think the latest number of 99. 999 confident that what were seeing is indeed the impact of human choices on our planet. Reporter but President Trump is not as confident. It will start getting cooler. You just watch. I wish science agreed with you. I dont think science knows, actually. Reporter on a trip to california this week, he insisted the wildfires are the result of bad Forest Management after previously suggesting breaking the forest floor was the solution. The only place that raking would work is right out your back door to try to prevent fire from burning up to your back door. Reporter forestry professor dr. Wally covington has worked on this issue for 45 years. While raking may be farfetched, he says we should be thinning forests, removing small trees and conducting controlled burns and stop building in fireprone areas. How much time do we really have to slow this problem down or stop this problem . He funding that we now have, in 40 years time, we could be on top of this problem. Reporter a problem that today in california is bigger than anything before. What makes this fire season different than all the others . The fire season in 2020 is extraordinary almost no matter how you look at it. The largest fire, the most acres burned in a single season, most acres burned in a single day. Reporter and its not over. All of california has a month, if not two months, of fire season left to go. Reporter do you expect it to be as intense . Its always possible we could get lucky with some early rain, but we usually have a dry season. Ann, good morning. Climate change is a global phenomenon. Trump announced three years ago that he would drop out of the paris routine, which could take place in just a month. What is the Practical Impact of this move . Reporter that withdrawal happens on november 4th, the day after the election. Scientists say what it means is the second emitter of carbon, the u. S. , just behind china, will not be doing anything to solve the problem of Climate Change. By pulling out it gives other countries cover not to do anything about Climate Change, and that will just make the problem worse. Willie . As we see again this week, the impacts are right in front of us. Ann thompson, thank you so much. Our special planet 2020 coverage continues all week across the platforms of nbc news. Coming up next here, the legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the courts and in the culture.

G longer under a sparp t spare the air alert and were seeing good to moderate conditions on the air quality index. So lets take a look at how those numbers are shaping out. Yesterday we did have areas of unhealthy air quality especially up in the north bay because of drifting smoke. Today well notice some hazy skies but, again, no spare the air alert. Temperatures will be significantly higher in some areas. About five to eight degrees warmer compared to yesterday. San jose, 86. Take a look at the interior, danville 90. Antioch 92. It certainly doesnt feel like its about to be fall, but it feels like the last day of summer. Kira, back to you. For the second straight night people from the bay area across the country gathered to share stories about the late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Landmarks illuminated in her honor. She was born in brooklyn. As people across the nation remember the impact the late justice had on the fight for gender equality. One bay area man has a very personal story. San franciscos jim wallace says that in 1972 his High School Alma mater, his teacher, died during childbirth but her husband was not entitled to any Social Security benefits because he was not a widow. At the time only women were eligible. Justice ginsburg, who was an attorney at the time, took on the landmark case and won. She sued all the way up to the Supreme Court and won equal rights for this man and his son for his ability to be able to collect Social Security benefits the same as a woman would under the same circumstances. Justice ginsburg argued that contributions to Social Security were not treated on an equal basis to a mans salary so that she, and not just her husband, were being discriminated against. It was one case of several in which ginsburg grew to be a pioneer in the fight for gender equality. Turning now to our coverage of covid19, anyone with small children knows its tough to have playgrounds closed during the pandemic. Very soon napa county will be able to open up their playground equipment again. Playgrounds can reopen starting friday, october 2nd. In the meantime workers will be out the next two weeks getting the playgrounds ready, cleaning up ash from the wildfires and germs from being closed for six months. Tiktok isnt going anywhere just yet. President trump revealing what is about to happen with the popular app that has something to do with walmart. Well explain. That and all your top stories at 7 00. Right now back to sunday today. That is dj khaled alongside Justin Beaver and lil wayne with their hit youre the one. That hit has made khaled one of the biggest names in music. The radio deejay turned hiphop mogul creates an infectious beat and then flips through an impressive rolodex built up over 20 kbreeyears to find the perfe artist for the song. But there is something relentless to khaleds success, positivity, and as youll see, selfconfidence. Khaled and i got together this week over zoom for a virtual sunday sitdown in his home in miami where he spent the last several months with his wife and two young sons, working on a new album. Were going to talk that talk, were going to get personal, were going to catch a special energy, man. You got to commit to my world. Lets get it. An invitation into the world of dj cal he woukhaled, which e year, never stopped spinning. The lord was born. The same day he was born i stepped onto a jet to a studio in atlanta and was in a studio with drake. After that, i jumped back on a jet, won a grammy the same week. Then came back to the super bowl. This was all in a twoweek sprint back to back. Then the pandemic hits. Thats the roadblock. No, were looking at that wall and said, boom. Over the course of two decades, the larger than life deejay, producer and entrepreneur has hustled his way to a personal empire, a man always on a quest to be well, ill let him tell you. I wake up in the morning, i pray to god, i kiss my family and i look in that mirror after i take a shower and say, we the best. And god is great. Im telling you the truth. You say it out loud in the mirror . All the time my kids scream, we the best. Because we are. If you dont wake up in the morning and say, god is great and we the best, then what you doing . The 44yearold khaled has built a career on working with the best in starstudded collaborations with drake, jayz, beyonce, bianna and Justin Bieber. Is that an easy phone call every time if you have to call drake or you want to call Justin Bieber . First of all, i love working with people that im a fan of musically, and the blessing is a lot of people that im a fan of are also my friends, meaning i have great relationships, and my track record, people know that khaled is going to hit a home run. Is it easy . No. Not because people dont want to do it, its about making the right record. So what im seeing right now in the few minutes weve talked is what made you successful, right, this force of will, this passion, talent, of course. Where does that come from . It definitely comes from my mother and father. My mother and father worked seven days a week and just real family vibes and praising god. You know what im saying . Yeah. And now im a father. So its like its not about me, its about my kids, so my ambition and my energy is even more powerful, you know what i mean . Im glowing. I dont know if you see it, but im glowing. Khaleds outsized ambition was born in the orlando, florida garage of his palestinian immigrant parents. I come from a garage with keyboarders, drummers, posters of my favorite artists around me. Khaled spun his passion for music into a gig on a hit radio show in miami where he earned the attention of big names in the industry. And what happened was i used to make music for the artists, but i was like, man, i want to do so much more, and thats why i started making my albums because i have so many other great ideas, and i didnt want to single myself by just shopping one beat to one artist, and then my radio skills, you know, i know how a hit sounds. I know how to make people move in the club. Eleven albums later, khaled has expanded beyond music, in part bying his message to tens of millions of followers on social media. The key to success is not to driving a jet ski in the dark. The key to success is stay blessed. Hes a bestselling author, a philanthropist through his we the best foundation. And a familiar face on television. Put in that word, devin. Dont give up i just do it. Im selfmade. I dont wait for permission to do something. Tell jeff bezos here i come. And now khaled is a firsttime grammy winner for the song higher. What does it mean to you, dj khaled, to have grammy winner in front of your name . It means my kids can say, my daddy is a grammy winner. Thats what i wanted the grammy for. Khaled has been home with his family in what he calls album mode, teaming up with drake for the first two singles off the selftitled Khaled Khaled is my birth name. My family loved me so much, they named me twice. Another one. We the best. Whats it been like to make music under these strange and different circumstances . Its been challenging, but i work the best when its challenging. You know what im saying . With todays technology, we can facetime somebody, zoom somebody, and go back and forth with ideas. Any collaborations you can sort of advertise now . Im working with all yalls famous artists. That i can tell you. Even in a year thats brought a grammy and a new son, dj khaled leaves you with the distinct impression that hes just getting started. Im always better than myself, and now that im a father, if you thought it was on then, its really on now. My job is to be great. My kids are watching. I was going to wear that shirt, too.

But she had been a groundbreaking advocate for womens rights long before that. In recent years, Justice Ginsburg became a hero to a new generation, and something of a pop culture icon. Famously nicknamed the notorious rbg by her younger fans, a play on the name and image of rapper notorious b. I. G. Erin mclaughlin has more on ginsburgs impact in our sunday spotlight.

Reporter the legacy of the notorious rbg lives on. Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you. Reporter for sunday today, erin mha you very much. This week we highlight another life well lived and another trailblazing american woman. Until 1978, women were prohibited by law from serving aboard United States naval vessels other than hospital and transport ships. One sailor made history when she decided to change that. Kathleen donahue was born the daughter of an army officer and spent her childhood moving around the world as the eldest of six children. Kathy, as she is known to family and friends, graduated from college in 1966 and joined the navy, where she met her first husband, lieutenant kelly byerly. In 1975, she rose to be the navys first woman ever to be a flag secretary to an admiral, running his staff. The next year Time Magazine named Lieutenant Commander leen byerly one of its women of the year for her break breakthroughs in the military, placing her on the cover with pioneers like billie jean hard. In 1977, kathy filed a lawsuit against the navy and the department of defense, challenging the law that prevented women from serving at sea, arguing it denied women like her the chance to move up the ranks. Some told kathy she was committing treason. But in 1978, a federal judge agreed with her and struck down the law, revolutionizing the role of women in the United States military. By 1987, she was a captain, setting policy and leading a study that opened some 9,000 jobs for women in the navy. Captain kathleen bruyere, as she was known after her second marriage, became commander of the Orlando Naval training center, where a third of the enlistees were women. In an interview this march with san diego veterans magazine, Kathy Bruyere said, there is nothing today women cant do. We need them to keep charging ahead. Captain Kathleen Donahue bruyere, a woman for the movement of womens rights, died this week in san diego. She was 76 years old. Captain bruyere will be buried with full military honors at Miramar National cemetary, wre he at pure leaf the most important ingredient in making tea, is saying no.

Weve got the retinol that gives you results in one week. Not just any retinol. Accelerated retinol sa. One week is all it takes. Neutrogena®. It is time for the highs and lows of the week. Our first high goes to the firefighters who have been working relentlessly up and down the west coast to contain some of the worst wildfires in american history. As we discussed earlier, fires have been burning across the western United States for weeks now, scorching more than 5 million acres, wiping out entire neighborhoods, and forcing thousands of people to flee their homes. As firefighters do the grueling, sometimes futile work of trying to slow the fires, one exhausted crew in oregon lay down and sang their own version of a familiar tune after a 14hour shift. Take me out to the fire take me out to the line bring me some toyers and hazel loads i dont care if i ever go home. Those are the grizzly firefighters after fighting a battle in oregon, singing take me out to the lines to the tune of take me out to the ball game. It was posted to facebook where it went viral this week as a tribute to the difficult work firefighters are doing even as we speak here this morning. They are superheroes out there. Our first low goes to Milwaukee Brewers pitcher brent suiter who made a strong contribution to major league baseball. With a tote pick. What happened there . It happened he caught his toe in the mound, causing him to spin backwar backwards. But he does spin out of the fall with a reverse somersault before hopping up in one motion. As you can imagine, his colleagues enjoyed the acrobat routine. Suiter got back into business and struck out someone in the next inning. As that clip spread online, gymnastics icon simone biles retweeted a sidebyside video comparing suters move to hers. I think her place with the medal is safe. Our real talk goes to paul rudd, who was in a new Public Service announcement where the 51yearold actor urges his fellow millennials to wear a mask. He was going off about how we need to wear a mask, because get this, apparently a lot of covid is transferred by us millennials. So he said, paul, you got to help. What are you, 26 . And i didnt correct him. So lets real talk. Masks . Theyre totally beast. So slide that into your dms and twitch it. Rudd getting down with the youth, wearing a hoodie, calling billy eilish. And he urges the Younger Generation to wear masks. The psa is part of the United States mask up America Campaign who help prevent the spread of covid19. Is it too late for rudd to run for president .

But he later found the device in his backyard, and the clues to the crime were everywhere. Here is the incriminating evidence. An entire camera roll full of monkey selfies. It turns out a monkey swiped the phone and just started firing away with the camera. Upside down shots, some Portrait Mode picks for isg, and even some nature shots in the backyard.
