I want to say a couple things to the community if i could. First, you may be hearing a message being broadcast from a helicopter or cars from the vicinity of the perimeter i talked about. One of the things weve done, weve had the individuals mother make a recording asking him to surrender peacefully. Its done in spanish actually portuguese, and its being broadcast in an effort to facilitate his peaceful surrender. Secondly, were also asking the community to avoid the wooded area or anything outside of the immediate area around their homes in that perimeter that i described. As i said, were actively searching that area. Were certainly not trying to lock anyone down. We want to keep residents as safe as possible while we thoroughly search that area. Again, we ask you to refrain from that area. Id also like to thank the community for their support. This has gone on for a couple days now. I know its stressful for the community, but i want to assure you that all of us up here at our respective offices are working diligently to bring this to a conclusion as quickly as possible.

The most recent sighting, can you describe more about what he looked like . Has he changed his appearance at all . The appearance was very similar to what we described, perhaps looking a little more worn and tired, but a very brief sighting. It was a trooper actually that observed him at some distance, gave chase but was unable because of the terrain and other obstacles, was unable to get to him before he disappeared. Where did he run off to . It was all within that perimeter area. I cant be more specific than that. Can you elaborate on what basis the credible sighting one was the Video Sighting that i believe youve all seen. The others are not video. But after extensive interviews, we believe them to be credible sightings. Any reason to believe hes being assisted by anyone .

I will give this number out for local folks who may be watching us right now. The tip line is 7175622987. Asking all neighbors to be on the lookout, to report anything theyre hearing or seeing to help apprehend this individual. All right. Millions of americans are soaking up the last bits of summer as Labor Day Weekend starts to wind down, capping off a recordbreaking Summer Travel season. Tsa says theyve screened more than 2 Million People every day since wednesday last week. Nbc meteorologist Michelle Grossman is following the latest that could impact travelers today. The good news is weve been together on so many holidays and weekends. Weve seen big blockbuster storms halting traffic. Thats not the case today. Were looking at problem areas, but no big huge storms. We do have problems in the skies, but mostly in the clear. Were looking at Holiday Showers and thunderstorms throughout the great basin, into parts of the plains. A chance of strong to severe storms. We have locally heavy rain, also, in parts of the gulf coast states into the Lower Mississippi valley. Also a big story today, record heat. Thats keeping people indoors. Were seeing temperatures into the 90s, near 100 degrees, above 100 in some spots. Were going to break records across 25 states. Also warm and sunny throughout the southeast. Even though its warm and feels like summer, a lot of these temperatures are dangerous to be outdoors. Thats causing some problems as well. Lets talk about the airports first. Look at this, you dont see this often on a holiday. Were looking at pretty much clear skies from seattle, minneapolis, dallas, new york, miami, big hubs looking good right now. A delay in San Francisco of 37 minutes. Then we turn to the roadways, and looking pretty good, too. I95 looking good. I10 could be a problem along the gulf coast states. We have Gulf Moisture moving onshore. You can see the lightning there creating some energy. Seeing thunderstorms moving throughout the midwest. Problems along the i95 corridor and also looking at heavy rain in portions of the great basin, inner mountain west. We could see those storms pick up this afternoon, this evening understand we get the Daytime Heating going. From bismarck to rapid city, winds up to 60 Miles Per Hour that could bring down trees and power lines. That could cause Travel Problems as well. Were kind of quiet for labor day. Well Knock On Wood right now. Back to you. Lets see how this is playing out across the country. Want to turn to nbcs kathy park who is in kodak, tennessee, with a lot of drivers hitting the roads, along with matt bradley who is outside Buckingham Palace in london. Give us the latest, kathy, with what youre seeing on the roads there . Reporter good afternoon to you. Right behind me is i40. This interstate is pretty busy even when its a nonholiday. As you can see, things are picking up. Weve seen this stall throughout the afternoon. Were imagining things will only get worse throughout the day. Unfortunately, experts are saying, look, if you didnt leave early, chances are youll be sitting in this pretty much throughout the day today. The best time to leave, if you have wiggle room, is any time after 7 00 today. Earlier today i had a chance to speak with a family who basically visited the Smoky Mountains here, they were visiting from michigan. They know they have a very long journey ahead. They gave us a preview of what to expect. Take a look. Theres going to be a lot of folks on the road today. Obviously its labor day, people headed home. Are you prepared to sit in traffic . We are. Just getting here there was a lot of traffic. Tell me about that. What was it like . Just from the main strip to get here, bumpertobumper traffic pretty much all weekend its been like that. Reporter yasmin, according to aaa, if you do plan on driving, probably a good idea to check your vehicle because you could be sitting in that car for several hours. They anticipate rescuing roughly 300,000 Stranded Motorists by the end of this holiday weekend. Make sure your tire is okay, the battery is in check, probably good idea to have a spare key. Lockouts are common as well. That dad and mom seemed very red difficult for the traffic. That baby, though, seemed pretty antsy. Matt bradley, over to you outside Buckingham Palace, aside from hearing from american travelers that they dont want to come home and restart their lives after this summer holiday, what are you hearing from them . Reporter there was a car accident right behind me. That was a 4 increase in Domestic Travel according to aaa. Here abroad theres a shocking 44 increase in americans going abroad just this weekend. More than 80 increase in Hotel Bookings according to united airlines, flight bookings. Were seeing a massive surge. I dont know if it has anything to do with Labor Day Weekend. We talked to americans who were out here. They were surprised to hear theyre part of a cohort of what sounds like hundreds of thousands of americans who were going abroad this year and maybe hadnt in years past. They didnt know why they were copping abroad this particular time other than it was just a good time for them personally. Their family and friends were ready to make a big trip to europe. Thats why most of the people we spoke with said theyre choosing to have this vacation now. Theyre part of legions of americans travelling here to europe, london, paris, dublin, vancouver in canada, rome. This is a popular destination. Its more popular now than any time in recent memory. I spoke with one woman standing outside here, Buckingham Palace, here is what she told me. Its cheaper than travelling within the United States. How so . Eating out is cheaper, and you can visit more countries within one travel versus in the states, it takes longer to get to one place. Reporter yasmin, ive lived in london for seven years. Shes right. Its convenient to go to continental europe, in terms of cost, no. This is a punishingly expensive city. My bank balance doesnt agree with what she said. I think if she was here a little longer, she might find her funds are depleting faster than they would stateside. They should come. This is a great time. Maybe shes more creative than you are, matt bradley. Maybe you should ask her for some tips, nonspending tips . I was going to ask her where are you eating, where are you drinking . Im not having that experience. Kathy park and matt bradley, thank you. Proof of concept. Top democrats take a hard look at whether the 14th Amendment would disqualify trump from returning to the oval office. What would that really take for it to happen .

So donald trump is calling on supporters to help him fight potential litigation over the 14th Amendment. The previously littleknown provision that a growing number of Election Officials are looking into, while a growing number of democrats say it should disqualify trump from seeking reelection. In my view, the attack on the capitol was designed for a particular purpose at a particular moment, and that was to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power as is laid out in the constitution. I think theres a powerful argument to be made. It. It doesnt require youve been convicted of insurrection. It just requires that you have engaged in these acts. Its a disqualification from Holding Office again. And it fits donald trump to a t. Lets be gain, carol lam, and harry litman, former Deputy Assistant attorney general and host of the talking feds podcast. Harry, start things off with us if you would. I want to read the portion of the 14th Amendment that would apply. No person shall hold any office who having previously taken an oath to support the constitution of the United States shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. Does this argument, the 14th Amendment could be applied to the former president of the United States in running for reelection, if, in fact, he wins, does it have any legs here . Look, it could, right . Its right there in the constitution. There are very few qualifications in the constitution. You can analogize it to being 34 when you have to be 35. The rub is going to be who gets to decide, what social or Political Institution makes the authoritative call. Adam schiff says it fits donald trump to a t. It feels to me it fits donald trump to a t. , but others will disagree. I think some secretaries of state will legitimately say were not putting him on the ballot. Then it will go and quickly to the Supreme Court. Will the Supreme Court make a decision, or will it say, man, its not to us to make the factual determination if he engaged in insurrection. Thats going to be the puzzle. In the past congressman has applied it. Can the court . What actually needs to say authoritatively, yep, he engaged in insurrection, therefore, hes out. Theres got to be something. Its as yet a bit of an unsolved puzzle. Im glad you said it that way. Carol, if you will, pick up on that. It seems somewhat subjective. If were looking at the charges, specifically the ones that apply. Im talking about d. C. , the jack smith case out of d. C. , along with fani willis case out of fulton county, none of those charges are inciting an insurrection or rebellion. This seems more subjective than it does if were referring to the charges that have been leveled across the former president , especially if it makes its way up to the Supreme Court. Youve hit the nail on the head. To put it in legal terms, that subjectivity, you have to ask yourself what standard is going to apply . The criminal standard, of course, as we all know, is beyond a reasonable doubt. In our system that has to be found by 12 jurors unanimously. That doesnt seem to be the standard for the grand jurors to have returned the indictment. Thats a probable cause standard. Is that the standard were talking about . Then you can say, as you pointed out rightly, that insurrection and incitement werent charges in the indictments, but they were described in the conspiracy, the january 6th events were described in jack smiths indictment as part of this conspiracy to have donald trump elected or declared the victor in the 2020 election. So there are all those questions out there. But, on the other hand, these who, what, where, when, how questions are not an certain by the constitution either. The constitution says what you just read. As so many provisions in the constitution, its a little light on the specifics and how you de
