love of the game goes beyond the ring.
Nightly News starts right now.
>> And good evening. We begin tonight with
the severe weather threatening tens of
millions across the country right now.
Nearly 50 million people from Texas all
the way to New York in the potential
path of dangerous thunderstorms,
tornadoes, and near hurricane force
winds. Some parts still reeling. Look at
this. after getting hit hard last night,
like from this monster tornado churning
its way through Iowa, ripping up dust
and debris. And look at this one out of
Kansas. Homes totally leveled by
tornadoes, walls torn away, and
bedrooms. You'll see them missing roofs
entirely. You'll also hear from one man
who told us he lost everything there,
but that he's just grateful to be alive
tonight. In other parts, the rain has
been unrelenting. In Wisconsin, you can
see the downpours leaving drivers
stranded in kneeh high water. And
forecasters warned the worst could be to
come with another severe weather
outbreak set for the end of this week.
We start with the latest on all this
from Shaquille Brewster in Hardhit, Kansas.
Kansas.
Across the Midwest.
>> Oh my god.
>> A new round of dangerous tornadoes.
This twister tearing through a field in
Iowa. The powerful winds whipping dirt
into the sky. Onlookers stopping to
watch Mother Nature's wrath.
Rising waters leading to urgent
evacuations in Wisconsin. One official
warning, if you do not evacuate, we will
likely not be able to assist you.
Throughout the state, heavy rain washing
out roads and stranding these vehicles
overnight. This woman rescued from her
trapped car.
>> Power flash. Hey, power flash.
>> That was a power.
>> Power flash.
>> In Michigan, powerful storms lighting up
the night sky. This road completely
destroyed as water rushes through.
Strong winds ripping the roof off this
ice arena. While in hard hit Kansas, the
cleanup continues after tornadoes
ravaged several towns. The National
Weather Service says the tornado that
did this damage was on the ground for
more than 7 miles. Wind speeds 125 m an
hour. Now crews working to restore power
all along the path.
>> My camper is upside down right over here.
here.
>> That's it right there to
>> right there. Totally destroyed. Josh
Hudson and his wife in Hisdale are now
sifting through the devastation.
>> Are the tears in your eyes a reflection
of what didn't happen?
>> Yeah, I mean there's always what is and
I'm I'm just so grateful that I'm even
able to stand here.
>> All right, Shaq joins us now live once
again. This time from hard hit
Hillsdale, Kansas, where Shaq, you're
finding even more scenes of devastation.
>> Yeah, Tom, the power of the tornado on
full display. That's an RV behind me. It
is now toppled over. You see this? These
used to be storage units. They now look
like piles of metal. And then follow me
this way. This used to be a structure.
Now it is completely gone. This area now
under a tornado watch going into
tonight. Tom
>> Shaq, we thank you for that. The other
big headline tonight, a major loss for
concert giant Live Nation, the owner of
Ticket Master. A jury finding the
company has operated as a monopoly and
overcharged fans. Here's Emily Aetta.
Tonight, a major blow to concert
behemoth Live Nation, which owns Ticket
Master, often blasted for its high
ticket prices.
>> I went to a concert lately at a Live
Nation venue, and the prices were kind
of crazy.
>> A jury sided with more than 30 states
that argued the company is a
monopolistic bully, illegally dominating
the industry in one of the most
high-profile antitrust cases in decades.
>> Great day for antitrust law. It's a
great day for consumers and fans, and
it's a great day for the 34 states and
District of Columbia who I've been
honored to work for on this matter.
>> The verdict followed four days of
deliberations. Lawyers for the states
presenting these messages from a Live
Nation executive, joking, "I almost feel
bad taking advantage of them and robbing
them blind, baby." The jury also found
fans were overcharged by ticket master,
the target of years of complaints over
prices and technological meltdowns. Like
ahead of Taylor Swift's era tour, the
judge will determine what happens next.
The judge now imposes a remedy. That
could be anything from breaking up the
company to monetary penalties and
anything in between.
>> Live Nation has vehemently denied acting
as a monopoly and in court argued
success is not against the law. instead
saying, quote, "We are fierce
competitors." The verdict comes after
the Department of Justice struck a
surprise settlement days into the highly
anticipated trial. But critics said it
did not go far enough and many states
pressed ahead with the lawsuit. Tonight,
walking away with a victory that could
have a far-reaching impact in the music industry.
industry.
>> All right, we are joined now live by
Emily Aetta. Emily, we heard that word
there, the remedy. So, what does that
mean for fans who have bought tickets in
the past or now in the future? So, there
is the chance that some music fans could
get some money out of this because the
jury found that ticket master
overcharged about $1.72 per ticket, but
it would be a very small amount. The
bigger impacts, according to experts,
would actually come down the line as the
judge could determine to restructure
Live Nation, which would increase
competition and in turn potentially
lower those ticket prices.
>> Some tickets are so high. All right,
Emily, we thank you for that. Now, to
the latest on peace talks to end the war
in Iran. President Trump says the war
could be over soon, but it's unclear
when another round of formal
negotiations will begin. Here's Richard Angel.
>> Our first images tonight of what the US
naval blockade of Iran looks like up close.
close.
>> You do not comply with this blockade. We
will use force. as American warships
today broadcast warnings to vessels near
the straight of Hormuz not to dock in or
depart from Iran.
>> The whole of the United States Navy is
ready to force compliance now.
>> The US is attempting to strangle Iran's
economy, preventing it from exporting
its main commodity, oil. Iran's
Revolutionary Guard responded that if
the blockade continues, Iran will
disrupt traffic in another vital
shipping lane, the Red Sea. President
Trump insists all of this will be over
soon and that negotiations with Iran
could restart by the end of the week,
likely again in Pakistan.
>> But Israel today insisted any peace deal
won't apply to Lebanon, where thousands
of Israeli troops are fighting Hezbollah
and carving out a buffer zone. Today I
went to the Israeli Lebanese border and
met with a senior Israeli military official.
official.
>> How long do Israeli forces plan to stay
in Lebanon?
>> I think um we've been fighting since
October 7th uh 2023 and we're committed
to continuing doing so as much as
>> okay. Uh
>> I think that was outgoing.
>> That outgoing, but that's because
something is incoming usually. Is Israel
doing to Lebanon what it did to Gaza?
>> Israel is going village by village,
house by house to um dismantleah.
>> It's nearly the same rationale that
Israel used to extend its war on Hamas
in Gaza. Tom
>> Richard Angel for us. Despite the
tensions with Iran on Wall Street
tonight, the S&P take a look and NASDAQ
both surging to record highs. Our chief
business correspondent Christine Romans
is here. And Christine, this is good
news for Americans who were looking at
their 401ks and seeing some big dips.
>> It is, Tom. These record highs for the
S&P for the NASDAQ reflect optimism that
the war with Iran could end soon. This
was a dramatic bounce back after big
drops when the war started. The S&P is
up 11%. The Nasdaq up 16% from their
lows after the war began. The market
shrugging off concern that high oil
prices will slow the economy. It's a
reminder to stay invested in your 401k
during market turbulence. Still gas
prices are 38% higher than before the
war. The Treasury Secretary tonight
insisting they'll come back down to the
$3 range sometime this summer. Though
all of that, Tom, depends on when this
war ends.
>> An important point. All right, Christine
Romans, we thank you for that. Now, to
those horrific shootings just 24 hours
apart at two schools in Turkey, both
captured on video, including this
morning when police say a 14-year-old
opened fire on his classmates. Here's
Raph Sanchez.
This horrific video taken as the
>> School children fleeing in terror,
jumping from secondstory windows as they
raced to escape from Turkeykey's second
school shooting in just two days.
>> He's beautiful.
>> A bunch of kids were shot, this woman
says outside. In all, authorities say
eight children and one teacher were
killed at this middle school after a
14-year-old student opened fire on his classmates.
classmates.
The worst school massacre ever committed
in a country where until this week such
violence was rare.
The local governor saying today's killer
was the son of a former police officer
armed with five weapons taken from his
father, adding he killed himself at the scene.
And all of it just 24 hours after a
rampage at another Turkish school. This
chilling footage shows an 18-year-old
rounding the corner of his former high
school and opening fire, wounding 16
people with a pumpaction shotgun before
taking his own life, according to authorities.
authorities.
>> He burst in, pulled the trigger, and
fired four or five shots. We threw
ourselves out the window, this injured
boy says. And it's not clear if there's
any connection between the two
shootings. Authorities are saying
today's massacre was a personal act, not
an act of terrorism. Tom Raph Sanchez
first. Raph, we thank you for that. Back
at home now to the new chilling images
of a woman accused of trying to abduct a
child at knife point in a Walmart
parking lot. Arama McLolin has more on
the attack and how police stopped her.
>> Tonight, hearttoppping stills of a
random attack at an Omaha Walmart. In
the images pulled from the police body
camera footage, you see the suspect
identified by police as 31-year-old Nomy
Guzman pointing a large knife at a small
child moments before slashing the boy's
face. According to investigators, she
shoplifted the weapon from the Walmart
Tuesday morning and used it to snatch
the child away from his caretaker.
>> Got one party shot and another party cut.

>> Police confronted Guzman, guns drawn.
There is video that shows the the
suspect swiping the knife at the child,
cutting him across the face. Officers at
that time, at least one officer fired
their weapon,
>> killing Guzman on site today. The boy's
family speaking out.
>> Life is precious and hold them tight cuz
you never know how it can turn out.
>> Court documents show Guzman suffered
from schizophrenia. Police tell NBC News
that day she'd been admitted to the
hospital for alleged domestic violence
related injuries and let go hours before
these chilling final moments. Aaron
McLaclin, NBC News.
>> And when we return in 60 seconds, the
healthc care CEO speaking out on one of
the most controversial topics for
insurers, weight loss drugs. Why he says
his company's covering them led to mass
layoffs. Our series, The Cost of Denial,
is next.
We are back now with our series, The
Cost of Denial, where we investigate the
challenges people face with insurance
coverage. Tonight, should insurers cover
weight loss drugs? One CEO is speaking
out to our Anne Thompson, saying they
cost so much he had to lay off hundreds
of employees.
Joe Cashon is CEO of the largest health
system in the Philadelphia region.
Jefferson has 33 hospitals, 700 care
sites, a university and prestigious
medical school, its own insurance plan,
and 65,000 employees.
But after a big financial loss last
fiscal year, Cashon had to cut jobs.
>> About $180 million of our loss was in
the insurance plan last year.
>> And how much of that $180 million is
attributable to GLP1s? The pharmacy
costs were a huge part of that and I
would say probably about a third of that
180 million were relative to the GLP ones.
ones. >> Wow.
>> Wow. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> That roughly $60 million loss, part of
the hard reality. As more and more
Americans use GLP-1 drugs to lose
weight, some companies like Joe Cashones
that cover the cost of them are losing
money. As a doctor, I mean, we
understand that these are important
breakthrough in medicine. Uh, but they
are expensive. As the CEO of 65,000
employees, we've seen a dramatic
increase in number of employees that
have gone on this. So, it's added to our expenses.
