12:04 pm
shootings. >> ken, in addition to today's reported deal, you mentioned a series of settlements. how much money has been given out here if. >> reporter: it's up to nearly a billion dollars including this reported $100 million settlement, $380 million from the u.s. olympic committee. so, a huge amount of money, but let's not forget there were more than 500 women and girls allegedly abused by this man who's now serving functionally a life sentence in prison. >> ken, thank you. a pay jar hearing today about safety on a plane model you may have traveled on before. >> a boeing engineer now turned whistle-blower is testifying on capitol hill, voicing his concerns about the 787 dreamliner plane manufactured by boeing. >> he says the 787 has a potentially fatal flaw, he said
12:05 pm
gaps between pieces of the plane's massive fuselage are too big and could lead to a catastrophic disaster. >> tom koss tell you covers aviation for us and spoke exclusively with that whistle-blower ahead of today's testimony. tom, there are three people testifying today. what are they saying. a former faa engineer and inspector who inspected boeing. a former boeing engineer who has been very vocal about concerns at boeing and this present boeing engineer who's raising concerns as well about production. all three of them are saying boeing has put production and profits ahead of safety. listen specifically to what that current boeing engineer is saying about problems he saw with the 787 dreamliner. >> i have analyze boeing's own data to conclude that the
12:06 pm
company's taking manufacturiing shortcuts on the program that made significantly reduce the airplane's safety. i found gaps exceeding the specification that weren't properly addressed. 98.7% of the time. i raised concerns internally, i was sidelined. i was told to shut up. >> reporter: so boeing is denying the retaliation exists. it said retaliation is never tolerated. however the company's also raising concerns about these allegations insisting the plaintiff's very robust. >> so much lately about boeing, tom, you report on this every day, how much of a crisis is it inside of the company right now and how is the company responding? >> reporter: major fire alarm going off inside boeing right now, because these allegations come off a very, very bad few years. here's what boeing is telling nbc news, the company said we're fully confident of the 787 dreamliner because of the comprehensive work done to

this to break it down. this sounds like bad news for those of us waiting for interest rates to settle down, if you're thinking about your credit card, buying a car or a house, will they ever go down, what does it take for interest rates to somehow come down in. >> he said they wouldn't to 2% inflation and they want to be sure it's there. the worst was 9%. got down to 5%. now it's at 3.5%. the fed really wants to be convinced. one of the reasons that inflation is coming down so slowly is because the economy is strong, the u.s. economy is strong, you cut interest rates, you lower interest ratings when you're trying to goose an economy, you don't want to goosing a strong economy because that could cause inflation to flame up. >> what does this mean for home sales and overall spending in. >> anyone who's borrowing money is going to remain expensive.
12:09 pm
borrowing money to buy a house, less house than three years ago. if you have money on credit card look at my face. buyer beware, it's really expensive the major credit cards are charging up to 30% for interest rates. that's the average. that's really expensive to carry credit card debt. >> in other economic news is the price of oil is actually dropping, which seems surprising this time of year, why is it falling in. >> it's important to watch these gas prices. we've been concerned about oil potentially rising dramatically with conflict in the middle east. with the strikes from iran on israel. real concerns over the weekend. instead at least for now, the conventional wisdom in the oil market the global oil markets is this hasn't blown up into

today the senate is turning into a courtroom of sort for the impeachment trial of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. the question is, how long will this trial last? senators were sworn as jurors earlier today. house republicans mp impeached the secretary by one vote over his handling of immigration. nbc news congressional correspondent julie tsirkin has been following it. where do we stand right now with the trial? >> reporter: they've been voting, kate, over the last hour, these are motions, on procedural tactics that republicans are offering up to drag this out as long as
12:16 pm
possible. this process is uniquely controlled by the mar jo ity party in this case it's democrats, so far every vote has been on party lines. what they're doing now, essentially raises the question, are these articles at least the first of the two is it unconstitutional because it does not alleged those high crimes and misdemeanors that amount to impeachable offenses on the rule book here in congress. the bottom line here, senators expect this trial to be over today at some point when the senate led by democrats vote to dismiss it. >> julie, give us a sense of what the feeling is like in the chamber, this a unique historic situation if. >> reporter: it is. i just came from sitting in the chamber, i've been watching this process unfold the entire time, i have to tell you i was in the
12:17 pm
chamber during both impeachment trials of the former president. this is very different. the environment feels different. it's not clear what's even happening on a minute by minute basis, no evidence presented. . the house managers weren't able to begin this trial in a way because the democrats alleged the impeachment articles sent over is only political, no merit to it. very different vibe and process. some senators are chatting. they're sitting as these motions are being gone through and we'll see what happens when schumer votes to table this. >> julie, thank you. if you're in the midwest this one is for you. prepare for an invasion. a creepy crawly and very loud invasion. cicadas are about to make a comeback and they could number in the trillions. maggie vespa tells us that

12:20 pm
>> reporter: some people say it's cool. some people say it's disgusting. it depends on your take. scientists are asking us to stress that these guys are completely harmless to humans and they're mostly harmless or good for the environment. the only time they're a threat to plants is if they completely cover a small young plant that you have and in that case brush the plant off and cover it if you can. if nothing else, they say, take heart knowing that cicadas die off in about a month. this double invasion will be short lived but will be epic. hence all of the merchandise we're finding, shirts include, online. >> maggie, if you have both medicare and medicaid, you may be eligible to get extra benefits with a humana medicare advantage dual-eligible special needs plan. all these plans include a healthy options allowance, a monthly allowance to help pay for eligible groceries, utilities, rent, and over-the-counter
