later called us that stand down
6:48
despite students returning to the very
6:50
same eerie on campus police clear
6:52
them from last week. All of
6:55
this I have many to question
6:57
the decisions colleges across the country
6:59
are making about how to handle
7:01
the protests. It's a very
7:04
difficult thing in this particular
7:06
political issue is far. Especially

Hamas and Israel and the by
8:13
the administration. That they are has
8:15
says that we can do a deal
8:17
now, but I also think that if
8:19
that isn't possible then the bind and
8:21
ministration said Think about what they can
8:23
deal directly to bring our American citizens
8:25
home. But there are
8:27
more signs of an impending Israeli

Us and Saudi Arabia tier. Thank
9:43
you! Clearly the President has a lot
9:45
on his plate in the days ahead,
9:47
but for at least a couple hours
9:49
this weekend, his focus less on global
9:51
events or on his social events of
9:53
the year. For waffles at the White
9:55
House Correspondents' dinner as you roasted his
9:57
Republican rival Errand Hillcrest with their. Oh,

feels like it's stumbling that there
11:11
is somehow upward progress. Jos also
11:14
took some shots at former President
11:16
Trump. Can we just acknowledge how
11:18
refreshing it is to see a
11:20
President of United States and an
11:22
event that doesn't begin with a
11:24
bailiff saying all rise. From
11:28
reacting on social media sunday morning

11:33
saying college just bombed and crooked

11:53
trail ahead. And Air and Mister Trump made me
11:55
reconciling, not with a former rival. the trump
11:57
campaign tells us that trump met with florida gov
12:00
Iran DeSantis this morning to talk
12:02
about fundraising and to bury the
12:04
hatchet after a bitter primary battle.
12:07
Lots to watch. Aaron, thank you so much.
12:09
Still ahead for us here on the show, the
12:11
NFL's controversial new helmets to prevent head injuries. They're
12:13
big, they're bulky. So will players wear
12:16
them? We
12:20
are back with a consequential and conspicuous
12:22
NFL safety shift with the league just
12:24
approving controversial new helmets to prevent head
12:26
injuries. That one look at them
12:29
has a lot of folks asking, will players actually want
12:31
to wear them? Here's George Solis.
12:34
The NFL now taking perhaps its
12:36
most visual and polarizing steps in
12:38
drastically improving player safety. The
12:41
league now expanding the use of these
12:43
admittedly far from fashion forward soft shell
12:46
helmets. Now given the
12:48
option to wear guardian caps beyond practice
12:50
to regular season games, engineered
12:52
to enhance protection against head injuries by as
12:54
much as 20 percent according to league data,
12:57
the league cementing their stance. If you're going to take a
12:59
punt from Mike Tyson straight to the face, would you rather
13:01
put a pillow over your face or take it straight on
13:03
us? The NFL introduced guardian caps
13:05
during training camps in 2022. We
13:08
saw the guardian cap this year. The guardian
13:10
cap again had a 50 percent reduction
13:12
in concussions for the players who wore
13:15
it in training camps. NBC
13:17
News on the field then with Washington
13:19
Commanders offensive lineman Sadiq Charles. At
13:21
first I wasn't sure what to think about it, but
13:23
I'm always open to change. A year later, the
13:26
NFL mandating their use during practices for most players.
13:28
We've seen players sacrifice looking cool to be safe
13:30
in the past, and so we talk about CTE
13:32
and help them avoid some of those things that
13:35
affect you later on in life. I think if
13:37
they're able to prove that it does reduce that,
13:39
then players will get on board with it. Even
13:42
now, reaction to the beehive shaped coverings
13:45
has been mixed. One player writing, this
13:47
is the craziest thing ever. And
13:50
it's not just the pros. Some high schools
13:52
have been using them for years. When
13:54
we first started wearing them, I had
13:56
coaches coming up to me, making fun of
13:58
us. High School's football
14:00
team in Michigan has been sporting caps during
14:02
practices since 2017. I think
14:05
we've been a pioneer of player safety at our school,
14:07
and we're going to continue pushing that envelope for sure.
14:09
But will guardian caps take the field
14:11
or fumble as the NFL continues to
14:14
tackle player safety? This podcast is
14:16
brought to you by Americans United for
14:18
separation of church and state. For more
14:20
than 75 years, Americans
14:22
United has defended your freedom to live
14:24
as yourself and believe as you choose,
14:26
so long as you don't harm others.
14:29
Core freedoms like abortion rights, marriage
14:31
equality, public education, and even democracy
14:33
itself rest upon the wall of
14:36
separation between church and state. White
14:38
Christian nationalists are attacking these freedoms,
14:40
seeking to force us all to
14:43
live by their narrow beliefs. Americans
14:45
United is fighting back. Freedom
14:48
without favor, and equality without
14:50
exception. Learn more

time. Felice,
15:28
NBC News. She's
15:30
one of the greatest gymnasts ever, and I
15:32
know you know her name, Gabby Douglas. She
15:34
won gold for the U.S. in two Olympics,
15:37
but eight years ago, an eternity
15:39
in the world of gymnastics, she stopped
15:41
competing. Now, this weekend, she's
15:43
roaring back. It
15:46
may look smaller scaled, but
15:51
this Texas qualifier could mark the
15:54
start of a colossal comeback. Gabby
15:56
Douglas swinging onto the scene after stepping
15:59
away from competing. gymnastics this
16:01
weekend, delivering performances in
16:03
floor exercise, bulk
16:07
and uneven bars. Familiar
16:11
terrain, even if it's been a minute for
16:13
the 28-year-old who won hearts after she won
16:15
gold in the Olympics all around and
16:18
helped power the Americans to team goals in 2012
16:20
and 2016, earlier this year announcing
16:23
her return to the mat. So
16:25
Gabby, then, the big question, does this mean
16:27
you have your sights set on Paris for
16:29
the Olympics this summer? Oh,
16:32
definitely. Most definitely. I'd say
16:34
definitely one day at a time. But I'm
16:36
honestly super excited to get back out there.
16:39
If she makes the cut this year, Douglas
16:41
would be the oldest American woman to compete
16:43
in gymnastics since the 1950s. Honestly,
16:46
I'm just super grateful for my body
16:48
to be able to hold up this
16:50
forge. That work now in
16:52
the spotlight yet again. I'd say
16:55
if you truly love what you do, they
16:57
go for it. Never let someone limit
17:00
you and go for the moon. A
17:06
lot of folks cheering her on. We're back
17:08
in a moment with the town overrun by
17:10
bears, breaking into homes, even cars, the
17:13
serious steps some people are taking to stay
17:15
safe. To
17:18
a bear scare tonight happening north of Los
17:20
Angeles, where some folks who wanted to get
17:22
away from it all are now finding themselves
17:25
getting away from the bears invading their town
17:27
by the hundreds. Some
17:29
caught on camera breaking into homes,
17:31
even cars. Elwyn Lopez reports. Tucked
17:35
away within the Los Padres National
17:37
Forest, the community of Pine Mountain
17:39
Club, California has always been
17:41
surrounded by wildlife. This
17:44
one just doesn't even care that I'm
17:46
here. But now it's turned into what
17:48
some here for calling an invasion. Black
17:52
bears now out of the
17:54
woods and crawling onto patios,
17:56
somehow opening car doors. Holy.
18:00
breaking into homes. This
18:03
one chased away by a
18:05
non-lethal gun. How would you
18:08
describe the bear situation here?
18:10
Honestly it's out of control. He and
18:13
Sari woke up once shocked as
18:16
he spotted a bear opening his
18:18
fridge. Asked who was in the
18:20
kitchen and the bear replied with a
18:22
lengthy sturdy growl. I just hit that
18:24
stun gun and that
18:26
electrified sound made the bear jump straight back
18:28
out the window he came in. Since
18:31
last July there have been over 560 bear related
18:35
incidents already far higher
18:37
than the 319th from
18:40
the year before. We're going on bear patrol.
18:42
We're going on bear patrol. Stan Enzgo patrols
18:44
the town nightly looking for bears.
18:47
Within less than an hour there's a
18:49
bear. We saw two of them. Hey what
18:52
are you guys doing? His goal to scare
18:54
them away. Across
18:56
the west bears wandering away
18:59
from their natural habitats infiltrating
19:01
suburban towns, backyard pools, even
19:05
grocery stores. Some

19:09
have forced them to look for food
19:11

boarded up like this one after
19:49
