Morning as authorities warn residents to stay inside. Just 48 hours left for Donald Trumps codefendants to enter their pleas or get ready to appear in court in georgias Election Interference Case. We start in the remote nevada deserts where tons of thousands of trapped concern growers are trying to Organizer Plan to reopen roads in about two hours after sudden storms turned the annual gathering into miles of mud. So thick that some are comparing it to quicksand. Others are starting to hike out after being warned to Shelter In Place and to conserve food and water. The situation so concerning, even the president has been briefed. The festival ceo told my colleague chloe melas, theres no cause for panic. Weve made it really clear that we do not see this as an evacuation situation and that the community is patient and the water is drying up. I want to give right to nbcs liz kroits, and Michelle Grossman standing by with the forecast. Thank you very much. Liz, the announcement should come around noon eastern. How are Festival Goers and the community doing through this . Reporter jose, were waiting for an update from officials at the festival to let us know if theyre going to lift that shelterinplace. It is dry here right now. I spoke to an official this morning that says while some parts of the camp are dry, other parts are still really muddy and wet and soggy. You can see that where we are right now. Look at this mud. It is really sticky and gooey and wet and cold here as well. You can tell how uncomfortable this would be for so many of these Festival Goers. Were at one of the entrances to burning man, about three miles from here is actually blackrock city. This is where 72,000 people are hunkering down right now. It was a really intense few days for a lot of these people stuck in this mud. Many, many people trudging through it for miles just to get out. A really intense experience. I spoke to a lot of people who say, how are they handling it . On one hand i talked to a Guy Last Night at the reno airport who was almost in tears because he was so relieved and happy to be on his way home. He said he was really miserable. The vast majority of attendees said, i want you to know about the burning man ethos, the community is coming together. One person told me that true burners are made for this, jose. It went from burning man to mudding. Michelle, how is the weather looking for this . The good news is were looking much, much better. We had two months of rain in just 24 hours. Thats really only an inch. It doesnt sound like a lot, but its the desert, theres nowhere to go. It cant be absorbed, theres no vegetation. Were looking at much better conditions. We saw on that live shot were looking at sunny conditions, sunny over the next five to six days. The burn is set to take place tonight which is unusual. Were looking at mostly fair conditions, looking at temperatures in the 60s. The desert gets chilly at night. Well see temperatures dropping. Sunny conditions tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday. A slight shower might happen early on tuesday. Thats about it. Otherwise, for the labor day forecast, were seeing the heavy rain is now off to the east. Were looking at portions of the great basin, the northern plains, a chance for localized flooding. Showers along the gulf coast states into the South Central states. Another big story on this labor day, looking at really warm temperatures, record temperatures in 25 states in the northeast, the northern plains, the great lakes. Were also looking at a chance for strong storms as we go throughout this monday, especially the afternoon and evening hours. Where you see the yellow on the map behind me, thats a chance of seeing some really strong storms. We can see winds gusts up to 60 miles per hour. This is the same front that came through nevada. Also the chal for hail. Could see a tornado or two. As we go throughout tuesday, so many kids going back to school, getting back to reality tomorrow. 5 Million People at risk for strong storms in the midwest including minneapolis. The same scenario with the winds gusty at 60 miles, chance for tornadoes and hail. Heavy rainfall that weve seen with the storms all summer long. Looking at localized flooding possible. Where you see the reds, oranges, yellows, thats where well expecting heavy rainfall. We have storm chances, but nevada looking much, much better today. Liz kroits and Michelle Grossman, thank you for being with us this morning. Were just 48 hours away from the wednesday deadline for the final seven defendants in georgias Election Interference Case to either enter a plea or appear for their arraignment. Still big names that havent entered a plea include mark meadows and geoffrey clark. Joining us, nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian and former federal prosecutor khadori. Any indications from meadows and clark or any other defendants on what they plan to do . Good morning, jose. Not really. This is really just a formality. This arraignment can be waived. An arraignment is just a formal reading of the charges and an entering of the plea. They can do that virtually or without appearing. The real question in this case is what happens with mark meadows appeal to a federal judge to have this case moved to Federal Court, if hes successful in that. You have some defendants who are trying to go to trial as soon as this fall. Then you have donald trump who wants to delay it as long as possible. So a collision of southwest there. We dont exnext anybody to plead guilty. We expect them all to plead not guilty. Well see where the schedule takes us. Does it matter whether they waive their arraignment or decide to show up . It doesnt really matter if theyre in prison or not. As ken said, this is an after mystic part of the criminal procedure. All these people we can expect will plead not guilty and the next phase of this is going to be figuring out how many moving pieces there are. We have meadows trying to go to Federal Court. It remains to be seen if we have other people trying to follow him. We have ken Chesebro Invoking his rights. You already have sort of three potential groups here, and were still going through this process, the courts are going through this process of trying to sort this all out. Its not clear if its going to be over any time soon, but something clearly worth watching very closely. Ken, were also expecting the grand jury report itself can be released sometime over the next couple days. What could that reveal . Probably not much that we dont already know, jose. It will be interesting to see whether theres anything in that grand jury report that isnt reflected in the indictment. The reason its been secret until now is because they were waiting for the Criminal Grand Jury to do its work. It has done that and has issued a very detailed racketeering indictment with multiple counts and 19 defendants. Now were going to see what this grand jury that actually investigated the case for more than two years, what they came up with. There may be redactions there because there may be people who arent mentioned in the indictment. Well have to see. Its going to be interesting to watch, to see whether theres any new revelations, jose. Ankush, a judge has indicated he plans to televise and live stream the case. Is that unusual . State Court Proceedings, theres a much stronger preference or availability for televised proceedings including georgia. It is unusual in a highprofile case because we tend to expect those to be Federal Court where there is pretty much never televised proceedings. This case, the fact its in state court, this is one of the features of a state Court Proceeding that folks will get the benefit of. Ankush, you were talking about how chesebro and others were asking for invoking a speedy trial. How will that change things if some in the group say they want a speedy trial and others dont . That would introduce significant complexity. I would assume the d. A. s office had a Contingency Plan for some sort of tightly focused narrow case in case some people seek a speedier trial. But the rest of the folks, theyre entitled to take their time subject to the courts supervision to build their defense, go through discovery, that sort of thing. Having an early trial or potential multiple trials can be problematic for the d. A. s office. It means everybody else gets a preview of their case and their evidence, that people who testify are now going to be on the record, and that any inconsistency in testimonies in later proceedings can be used against them. The fact that theres a succession of trials folks in the media are interested, obviously, but not necessarily a good thing for prosecutors. Sometimes multiple cases in the same criminal case can make it harder over time. Ken dilanian and an kush khadori, thank you for being with us.

This labor day President Biden heading to his home state, delivering remarks in pennsylvania a short time ago, commenting on the Biggest Issue hes facing, his age. I tell you what. Somewhat says that biden, hes getting old. Guess what . Guess what . The only thing that comes with age is a little bit of wisdom. The visit to the swing state comes as the president is sticking to his Campaign Plan to stay quiet about donald trump, a gamble that has some democrats worried that bidens silence will let trump set the phone of the race. Ill bring in New York Times chief White House Correspondent peter baker, former Republican Party chair and host of podcast is it just me or have we all lost our minds Jennifer Horn and former Obama White House aide alaina beverly. Jennifer, visiting his home state of pennsylvania. Whats the message here . I think its clear that the president is speaking to his base, his strongest supporter and addressing issues that are important to those voters. Looking at that clip just now, were reminded this is joe bidens strength. This is where he does best. Hes light on his feet. Hes got a sense of humor, and hes speaking to those people as if theyre his friends. When i watched that clip, i was impressed. Thats always been one of jids strengths for sure. As necessary, what he needs to do, addressing issues he made progress on, the promises hes kept. Its not just labor day in pennsylvania. Its cutting ribbons on a lot of those Infrastructure Projects where people can see with their own eyes and in their own community the progress this president has made. Thats what he needs to be doing right now. I know there are a lot of folks out there concerned about the fact that hes not directly taking on donald trump. But i agree with what his campaign is doing. If he were doing that right now, he would just be giving trump greater strength. He would be making him stronger. The president would be contributing to trumps the enthusiasm of his base. I think focusing on his accomplishments is what he wants to be doing right now. These are pictures out of philadelphia where the president is still saying hello to the crowd. Today he was in front of the sheet metalworkers local. Peter, youve wren at this time in the past about the issue of age for President Biden and former president trump. He could have chosen to ignore the comment, but went right at it. Hes taken the lesson from Ronald Reagan president when reagan ran in 1984 he
