HEY, GOOD EVENING, AND WE THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON THIS THURSDAY NIGHT. WE NEED TO BEGIN WITH THAT BRUTAL DAY ON WALL STREET, WITH THE MARKETS PLUMMETING IN THEIR WORST DAY IN MORE THAN A YEAR. ALL THREE MAJOR INDICES,

THE TECH-HEAVY NASDAQ NOW DOWN ABSOLMORE THAN 5%,VING. WITH THE DOW AND THE S & P DOWN BIG TIME AS WELL. AS THE FULL IMPACT OF TUESDAY'S BLUE TSUNAMI COMES INTO FOCUS. THE FEAR FOR INVESTORS. THAT DEMOCRATS MAY SLOW AI AND DATA CENTER GROWTH, WHICH HAS BEEN POWERING THE MARKETS TO RECORD HIGHS. WE'LL GET INTO WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR 401K. AND WE'LL HAVE NEW REPORTING ON THE POLITICAL FALLOUT. FROM REPUBLICANS' MIDTERM WIPEOUT, DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH DEFIANT TODAY,

SAYING HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE AS WE LEARNED THAT THE PRESIDENT IS CONSIDERING. POSSIBLE REPLACEMENTS FOR HIM. AND OUR STEVE KORNACKI IS STANDING BY AT THE BIG BOARD WITH NEW VOTE COUNT JUST IN. COULD THE DEMOCRATS ADD TWO MORE SENATE SEATS? WE'RE COVERING IT ALL TONIGHT, STARTING WITH CHRISTINE ROMANS. AND THAT WALL STREET WIPEOUT. TONIGHT, THE TECH-DRIVEN MELTDOWN ON WALL STREET. ALL THE WORST PERFORMERS ARE AI HARDWARE. AS INVESTORS FURTHER ABSORBED THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS RESULTS.

YESTERDAY'S MARKET ENTHUSIASM, TODAY WIPED OUT, AND THEN SOME. IT'S. NOT GOOD. THERE'S NO WAY TO SPIN IT. THE NASDAQ PLUMMETING MORE THAN 5.5%. THE DOW AND S & P ALSO DOWN SHARPLY. WHY ARE STOCKS DOWN SO MUCH TODAY? I THINK THIS IS A CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE, CONFIDENCE IN THE AI TRADE ITSELF. I ALSO THINK IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF PUSHBACK ON THE MIDTERMS, RIGHT? AND SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNORS. BACK ON NEW DATA CENTERS.

COMPANIES CONNECTED TO DATA CENTERS AND THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BUILDOUT. TOOK SOME OF THE BIGGEST HITS AFTER VOTERS. SUPPORTED DOZENS OF BALLOT MEASURES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW FACILITIES. AND THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN, RIGHT? THIS HAS BEEN UNPOPULAR TO BUILD DATA CENTERS. NVIDIA, THE LEADER IN THE CHIP SECTOR, DOWN MORE THAN 9% FOR THE DAY. THE COMPANY ERASING $1.4 TRILLION. IN VALUE SINCE ITS PEAK LAST MONTH. ELON MUSK'S COMPANIES SPACEX AND TESLA ALSO FELL DRAMATICALLY TODAY.

THE WORLD'S FIRST TRILLIONAIRE SPENT $168. MILLION SUPPORTING REPUBLICANS IN TEXAS, WHERE BOTH COMPANIES ARE BASED, ONLY TO SEE DEMOCRATS WIN HANDILY ACROSS THE STATE. TODAY'S SELL-OFF BEGGING THE QUESTION, IS IT A BIT OF AIR COMING OUT OF THE AI BOOM. OR A SIGN OF MORE DIFFICULT DAYS TO COME? ALL RIGHT, LET'S PICK IT UP RIGHT THERE, CHRISTINE. JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM THE FLOOR OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. AND CHRISTINE, WE SAW THE BIG MOVE HIGHER JUST YESTERDAY AND THEN A TOTAL 180 TODAY. SO.

WHAT SHOULD INVESTORS MAKE OF THESE BIG SWINGS? LOOK, SOME PEOPLE HERE TODAY TELLING ME IT FEELS LIKE AN OVERREACTION ANY. TIME THERE'S NEWS ON AI MARKETS EITHER SOARING OR LIKE TODAY, FALLING DRAMATICALLY. IT'S BECAUSE AI HAS BECOME SUCH AN OUTSIZED DRIVER. OF THE STOCK MARKET, TOM, AND THE ECONOMY. CHRISTINE ROMANS FOR US. CHRISTINE, THANK YOU. DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH. DEFINED TODAY AS HE PREPARES FOR A POTENTIAL. IMPEACHMENT BATTLE WITH DEMOCRATS NOW PREPARING TO TAKE CONTROL OF CONGRESS. HERE'S GARRETT HANK.

TONIGHT WITH THAT CRUSHING MIDTERM DEFEAT FOR REPUBLICANS, DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH. DIGGING IN, RELEASING THIS NEW VIDEO AS HE PREPARES FOR A POTENTIAL IMPEACHMENT BATTLE. DIDN'T WORK AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP. AND IT WON'T WORK WITH ME. TWO PEOPLE FAMILIAR WITH THE SITUATION TELL. NBC NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS TOLD SOME ALLIES. HE'S CONSIDERING REPLACING HEGSETH, THOUGH THE PRESIDENT TODAY INSISTED HE HAS NO INTENTION OF REMOVING HIM. ALL AS THE MIDTERMS BLUE WAVE COULD CRASH FURTHER INTO REPUBLICAN TERRITORY.

IN MISSISSIPPI. DEMOCRAT SCOTT COLOM LEADING BY FEWER THAN 2000 VOTES. ARE YOU STILL CONFIDENT THAT YOU'LL WIN? REPUBLICANS SAY THERE ARE MORE THAN 20,000 REMAINING BALLOTS. A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF THESE, WE BELIEVE, ARE. IN AND REMAIN IN REPUBLICAN LEANING. DISTRICTS. AND IN ALASKA, AN ALLEGED DEMOCRATIC SCHEME TO SABOTAGE REPUBLICAN SENATOR. DAN SULLIVAN'S CAMPAIGN. BY PLACING ANOTHER DAN SULLIVAN ON THE BALLOT.

MAY BE WORKING. DEMOCRAT MARY PELTOLA NOW LEADS SENATOR SULLIVAN BY JUST 637 VOTES, WHILE THE OTHER DAN SULLIVAN HAS DRAWN 3600 VOTES. AND ANOTHER GOP CANDIDATE WHO TOLD THE NEW YORK TIMES HE WAS ALSO RECRUITED TO RUN, RECEIVING. 5000 VOTES AS THE COUNT CONTINUES. PRESIDENT TRUMP POSTING THAT THE VOTES FOR THE. FAKE DAN SULLIVAN AND THAT OTHER CANDIDATE SHOULD BE. IMMEDIATELY GIVEN TO THE REAL DAN SULLIVAN.

STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS ARE INVESTIGATING, ALL WHILE REPUBLICAN RECRIMINATIONS CONTINUE. 2026 WAS NOT SIMPLY A BLUE WAVE. IT WAS A BLUE TSUNAMI. IT WAS AN *** KICKING. ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, GARRETT HAIG JOINS US LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, AND GARRETT, I KNOW WE HAVE A PROJECTION OUT WEST IN THAT CRITICAL LA MAYOR'S RACE. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, TOM. NBC NEWS PROJECTING THAT CITY COUNCIL MEMBER NITA RAHMAN, A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST, HAS DEFEATED THE DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENT MAYOR THERE,

KAREN BASS. THE MOVE NOW PUTS DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS IN. CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY'S TWO LARGEST CITIES, NEW YORK AND LA. TOM, ALL RIGHT, GARRETT, WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. LET'S BRING IN STEVE KORNACKI, WHO'S WATCHING THESE RAZOR THIN MARGINS, AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE HAVEN'T PROJECTED MISSISSIPPI. YET IS BECAUSE NEW VOTE IS STILL COMING IN, AND IT'S SO CLOSE. THAT'S RIGHT, TOM. A LOT OF THIS. HERE YOU'RE SEEING IS VOTE BY MAIL. IF IT'S POSTMARKED BY ELECTION DAY, IT CAN COME IN UP TO 5 DAYS AFTER ELECTION DAY IN MISSISSIPPI. AND WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING WITH THAT VOTE BY MAIL, COLOMB, THE DEMOCRAT,

HAS BEEN DOING BETTER THAN HYDE SMITH, THE DEMOCRAT. AND SO THE ADVANTAGE FOR COLOMB, WHILE EXTREMELY NARROW, HAS TICKED UP A LITTLE BIT FROM ELECTION NIGHT. ALL RIGHT, WE HEARD GARRETT MENTION ALASKA. WHAT'S IT LOOKING LIKE THERE? YEAH, TAKE A LOOK HERE NOW. THIS 1 MAY NOT BE SETTLED HERE UNTIL. NOVEMBER 18TH. EXCUSE ME, NOVEMBER 18TH IS WHEN THEY. THE RANKED CHOICE RUNOFF. NOTICE THERE'S 4 CANDIDATES HERE. THAT OTHER DAN SULLIVAN. VOTERS THERE HAD TO RANK ON THE BALLOT, FIRST CHOICE, SECOND CHOICE, THIRD CHOICE. SO THEY'LL DO THAT PROCESS, THE RANKED CHOICE RUNOFF, NOT UNTIL NOVEMBER 18TH. BUT IF THE DEMOCRATS GOT MISSISSIPPI AND ALASKA,

THAT WOULD BE 56 SENATE SEATS FOR THEM, A HIGH WATER MARK FOR THEM IN A LONG TIME, AND THAT WOULD GO ALONG WITH JUST TO PUT IN PERSPECTIVE. WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW HAS HAPPENED ON THE HOUSE SIDE. THIS IS THE HOUSE MAJORITY OF EVERY PARTY THAT'S CONTROLLED IT GOING. TO THE EARLY 90S. OUR NBC NEWS PROJECTION RIGHT NOW, THE DEMOCRATS WILL LAND AT ABOUT 259 SEATS. IF THAT HAPPENS, IT'S THE HIGHEST A PARTY'S HAD IN THE HOUSE. SINCE 1991. A MONSTER NUMBER THERE. ALL RIGHT, STEVE KORNACKI FOR US. STEVE, WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE HAVE SOME OTHER NEWS WE WANT TO GET TO TONIGHT, INCLUDING NEW VIDEO.

OF THE MOMENT A HERO SECURITY GUARD TOOK DOWN THAT GUNMAN. WHO OPENED FIRE AT A CITIBANK OFFICE COMPLEX JUST OUTSIDE OF TAMPA YESTERDAY. JESSE KIRSCH WITH THAT NEW VIDEO. TONIGHT NEW HORRIFYING IMAGES OF A SECURITY GUARD. TAKING DOWN AN ACTIVE SHOOTER NEAR TAMPA, FLORIDA. THE SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE RELEASED TODAY BY THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. SHERIFF'S OFFICE SHOWS CITIBANK SECURITY. OFFICER JOHN FRALEY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. PREPARING TO ENGAGE WITH A GUNMAN WHO HAD JUST. KILLED A WOMAN IN THE OFFICE COURTYARD.

THE MEN'S RESTROOM. TAKESN. HE SEES A SUSPECT COMING AND HE ENGAGES THIS SUSPECT. YOU CAN SEE THE SUSPECT, 35 YEAR OLD JACOB PEARSON, FALL TO THE GROUND, APPEARING TO SHOOT BACK. BEFORE THE VIOLENCE FINALLY ENDS. PEARSON LATER DIED AT THE HOSPITAL. THE SHERIFF SAYS THAT SECURITY GUARD IS A MARINE CORPS VETERAN. AND THIS WEEK HEROICALLY SAVED LIVES. ON A CAMPUS FILLED WITH MORE THAN 3200 PEOPLE.

THE GUNMAN'S RAMPAGE BEGAN WHEN HE ALLEGEDLY. CRASHED HIS VEHICLE INTO THIS COURTYARD. ACCORDING TO THE SHERIFF, PEARSON OWED CITIBANK $2500. AND SAID THIS TO A BANK COLLECTION ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HOURS EARLIER, UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO GO OVER THERE WITH MY AR-15. MY BULLETPROOF VEST. AND MY INSANITY, YOU MF AND CANCEL THIS COURT CASE. AND TODAY OFFICIALS ALSO IDENTIFYING THE VICTIM. AS 41 YEAR OLD CITIBANK EMPLOYEE. LEE ANNE SELMAN.

SHE WAS VALUED. SHE WAS BELOVED. SHE WAS DESCRIBED AS A BRIGHT LIGHT. AND HER COLLEAGUES AND ALL OF US ARE GRIEVING. JESSE KIRSCH, NBC NEWS. AND THERE ARE STATES OF EMERGENCY TONIGHT IN GEORGIA AND TENNESSEE. WITH WIDESPREAD FLOODING SWAMPING OUT ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS, TRAPPING RESIDENTS. GEORGE SOLIS AND HIS TEAM IN THE FLOOD ZONE TONIGHT. RIVERS ROARING AFTER RAIN DELUGED COMMUNITIES IN THE. BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS NEAR THE GEORGIA-TENNESSEE BORDER. MULTIPLE FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCIES OVERNIGHT AS FAMILIES SLEPT.

RAIN FALLING AS FAST AS 3 INCHES AN HOUR. FLOODWATERS TEARING THROUGH MCKAYSVILLE, GEORGIA AND COPPER HILL, TENNESSEE. FIRST RESPONDERS MAKING DOZENS OF RESCUES, CAREFULLY HELPING THIS WOMAN OUT OF A BOAT AND ONTO DRY LAND. THESE BUSINESSES AND HOMES ALL INUNDATED. AUTHORITIES GOING DOOR TO DOOR. A BLACK HAWK HELICOPTER FLYING OVERHEAD. WE HAD REPORTS THAT SOME PEOPLE. WERE ON THE ROOFS OF THEIR HOUSE, SO WE PUT DRONES UP IN THE SKY AND THEN WE GOT THE BLACK HAWK AS WELL.

THWER OF THOSE WATERS SWEEPING AWAY PROPANE TANKS. AND THIS FRIGHTENING MOMENT IN THE BUILDING IS THAT OH. JEEZ, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. WATCH AGAIN. A MASSIVE FIREBALL FROM A PROPANE TANK IGNITING. CREWS RACING TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. NOT FAR FROM THERE, SHOPS DOWNTOWN. COMPLETELY DESTROYED. WE'RE INSIDE OF A BUSINESS HERE ON MAIN STREET, DONNA'S. TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF JUST HOW HIGH THE WATER GOT, WELL ABOVE MY HEAD. TAKE A LOOK AT THE FLAG THERE. THAT IS WHERE THE WATER LINE IS. RILEY KENDRICK'S FAMILY OWNS A CABINET STORE.

MY FATHER'S BUSINESS IS RIGHT ON THE RIVER OVER THERE. AND HIS WORK VAN AND ALL THAT WAS IN IT AND IT WAS COMPLETELY SUBMERGED. IT'S. RUINED, BUT MANY BUSINESS OWNERS ARE VOWING TO REBUILD. MY DADDY DIDN'T RAISE A CRITTER. WE DID. HE DID NOT RAISE A CRITTER. ALL RIGHT, GEORGE JOINS US TONIGHT FROM MCKAYSVILLE, GEORGIA, AND GEORGE, WE CAN SEE SOME OF THAT DEBRIS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. THE RIVER THERE. REACHED A RECORD HEIGHT. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, TOM. THE TOKOA RIVER CRESTING. ABOVE 18 FT,

BRINGING WITH IT VAST DESTRUCTION. LOOK AT THIS PICNIC TABLE HERE. UP ON THE SIDE OF THIS BUILDING AND THE WATER. TAKE A LOOK. WELL ABOVE THESE WINDOWS HERE. NOW THEY'VE SINCE RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT THE CLEANUP HERE. IS JUST GETTING STARTED. TOM. GEORGE SOLIS FOR US. WE HEAD TO CALIFORNIA NOW, WHERE GOVERNOR NEWSOM ANNOUNCED THE LARGEST DEATH. ROW COMMUTATION IN MODERN AMERICAN HISTORY, GRANTING CLEMENCY TO HUNDREDS. LAURA JARRETT HAS THE DETAILS. TONIGHT THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 500 INMATES ON CALIFORNIA'S DEATH ROW NOW SPARED.

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM TODAY ISSUING THE BROADEST COMMUTATION. OF DEATH SENTENCES IN MODERN AMERICAN HISTORY, REDUCING EVERY SENTENCE IN THE STATE. TO LIFE WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE. WRITING IN AN OPEN LETTER, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT STATE SANCTIONED. KILLING IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH CALIFORNIA'S VALUES, UNDERMINES THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR LEGAL SYSTEM, AND DIMINISHES EACH OF US. IT'S A MOVE THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR HAD MULLED OVER FOR MONTHS. WITH MORE INMATES ON CALIFORNIA'S DEATH ROW THAN ANY OTHER STATE.

I HAVE TO PREPARE. FOR. MY OWN CONSCIOUSNESS, MY ROCKING CHAIR TEST. DO I COMMUTE? THE LARGEST DEATH ROW. IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. ANTI-DEATH PENALTY ADVOCATES URGED THE GOVERNOR MORE. RECENTLY TO CLEAR DEATH ROW ENTIRELY, WHILE OPPONENTS OF THE MOVE EXPRESSED OUTRAGE TODAY, LIKE THE FATHER OF TWELVE-YEAR-OLD POLLY KLAAS, KIDNAPPED AND KILLED BY RICHARD ALAN DAVIS IN 1993. I'M TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED BY WHAT HE DID.

IT'S A KNIFE IN THE BACK TO THE VICTIMS' FAMILIES. THOUGH NEWSOM MAY NOT HAVE THE FINAL WORD. IN MOST CASES, AS CALIFORNIA'S LAW REQUIRES THE STATE'S HIGHEST COURT TO REVIEW HIS CLEMENCY MOVE. FOR THE MAJORITY OF THOSE ON DEATH ROW. WITH MULTIPLE FELONY CONVICTIONS, LAURA JARRETT, NBC NEWS. WHEN WE RETURN IN 60 SECONDS, COMEDIAN AND ACTOR RUSSELL BRAND CONVICTED OF RAPE, THE NEW VIDEO OF HIM BEING INTERROGATED. AND HOW LONG HE COULD GO TO PRISON, PLUS THE POSTAL WORKER ACCUSED OF GUNNING DOWN COLLEAGUES IN A MAJOR CITY.

AND GAME OVER. 5 YEARS AND $5 BILLION LATER, THE CONTROVERSIAL LIVE GOLF SHUTS DOWN. SO WHAT'S NEXT FOR SOME OF THE GAME'S BIGGEST STARS? WE'RE BACK NOW WITH THE VERDICT IN THE CASE OF ACTOR AND COMEDIAN RUSSELL BRAND, CONVICTED TODAY BY A LONDON JURY OF RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT. OUR DANIELLE HAMMAMJIAN HAS THE STORY. RUSSELL BRAND, THE CONVICTED RAPIST.

A LONDON JURY TODAY FINDING THE BRITISH COMEDIAN AND ACTOR GUILTY. ON ONE COUNT OF RAPE AND 3 COUNTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULTS. INVOLVING INCIDENTS THAT OCCURRED BETWEEN 2004 AND 2009. BRAND WAS CONVICTED OF RAPING ONE WOMAN AT HIS FORMER HOME IN LONDON. RUSSELL BRAND USED HIS INFLUENCE, STATUS, AND FAME. TO PREY ON AND EXPLOIT WOMEN. THE SEXUAL ASSAULTS AGAINST THREE WOMEN. ALSO TOOK PLACE IN LONDON. AT A BAR, A RADIO STATION, AND THEN LATER WHILE BRAND WAS WORKING ON A BRITISH TELEVISION PROJECT.

THE VICTIM SAYS BRAND FORCED HER TO GIVE HIM A MASSAGE DESPITE HER OBJECTIONS. AND CLAIMS BRAND THEN PLACED HIS HEAD DIRECTLY INTO HER GROIN AREA. AFTER THE VERDICT, LONDON'S MET POLICE RELEASED THESE. VIDEOS OF BRAND'S INTERROGATIONS AFTER ALLEGATIONS WERE FIRST REPORTED BY. THE TIMES OF LONDON AND THE UK'S CHANNEL 4, ALLEGATIONS WHICH BRAND STRONGLY DENIED. I LED A VERY PROMISCUOUS LIFE IN THE PAST. WHICH I'VE SPENT YEARS OPENLY DENOUNCING.

I'VE NEVER ENGAGED IN NONCONSENSUAL SEXUAL ACTIVITY. AND TONIGHT LONDON'S MET POLICE SAYING BRAND IS BEING. INVESTIGATED ON FURTHER RAPE ALLEGATIONS MADE BY TWO WOMEN, BRAND BECAME A FIXTURE IN UK MEDIA BEFORE MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF IN HOLLYWOOD. WITH FILMS SUCH AS GET HIM TO THE GREEK AND FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, AS WELL AS A BRIEF MARRIAGE TO KATY PERRY. BRAND IS NOW IN CUSTODY, WITH THE JUDGE TELLING HIM. HE SHOULD EXPECT A SIGNIFICANT PRISON TERM.

THE VICTIMS,

ALL EMPLOYEES, ARE IN STABLE CONDITION. AND EXPECTED TO RECOVER. AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCARY MOMENT IN METRO ATLANTA. YOU CAN SEE A TRAIN JUST PLOWING RIGHT INTO. SEMI. SENDING EVERYTHING INSIDE ONTO THE TRACKS. THIS DRONE VIDEO SHOWING THE AFTERMATH THERE. WITH. THAT TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HUGE TRAIN. THE DRIVER GOT OUT MOMENTS BEFORE THE TRAIN HIT. AND OFFICIALS SAY NOBODY WAS HURT. LIV GOLF, THE BREAKAWAY GOLF LEAGUE FUNDED BY SAUDI ROYALTY, WILL SHUT DOWN AFTER 5 YEARS. AND SPENDING. NEARLY $5 BILLION.

PHIL MICKEL. AND GREG NORMAN LED THE SPLIT THAT. PROMISED MASSIVE PAYDAYS TO PLAYERS. BUT CREATED A CIVIL WAR IN THE SPORT. NOW LIV HAS FAILED TO REACH AN AGREEMENT. WITH FINANCIAL BACKERS TO KEEP THE LEAGUE GOING. WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. HOW SOON LIV'S BIGGEST STARS WILL RETURN. TO THE PGA. THAT'S NIGHTLY NEWS FOR THIS THURSDAY. I'M TOM LLAMAS.
