WE WANT TO BEGIN WITH THAT CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. INTO ALASKA'S SENATE RACE NOW EXPANDING TONIGHT AS. FEDERAL PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'RE SURGING FBI AGENTS. ON THE CASE. THE FBI NOW INTERVIEWING THOSE ALLEGED. INVOLVED IN A SECRET DEMOCRATIC SCHEME TO RECRUIT A CANDIDATE.

WITH THE SAME NAME AS THE REICAN SENATOR IN THE RACE YOU SEE IT HERE. TO CAUSE CONFUSION FOR VOTERS. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HOLDING A NEWS CONFERENCE LATE TODAY. ANNOUNCING MORE FEDERAL AGENTS WILL BE HEADING TO THE FRONTIER STATE. AT STAKE. CONTROL OF THE SENATE, WHICH COULD COME DOWN TO ALASKA, AND THAT INVESTIGATION COMES AS WE SAW PRESIDENT TRUMP. SHAKING UP HIS CLOSING CAMPAIGN. JUST FOUR DAYS OUT FROM ELECTION DAY. THE PRESIDENT HAD PROMISED AN ALL-OUT CAMPAIGN BLITZ IN THE FINAL DAYS. BUT THEN LAST NIGHT SUDDENLY CANCELED MAJOR RALLIES IN KANSAS.

AND IOWA SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEKEND. BUT THEN IN A SURPRISE MOVE HE ADDED THEM BACK IN. OUR GABE GUTIERREZ IS TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT IN FLORIDA, BUT WE WANT TO START. WITH STEVE PATTERSON ON THE GROUND THERE IN ALASKA. TONIGHT THE GROWING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO. ALASKA DEMOCRAT MARY PELTOLA'S SENATE CAMPAIGN. WHAT WE'VE LEARNED RECENTLY HAS BEEN DEEPLY TROUBLING. FEDERAL PROSECUTORS SAY THEY'VE SURGED FBI AGENTS TO FIGURE OUT IF. LAWS WERE BROKEN IN AN ALLEGED SCHEME TO TRICK ALASKA VOTERS.

ANYONE WHO TRIES TO ILLEGALLY DECEIVE VOTERS. AND INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTION, WE'LL ANSWER FOR IT. ALL AFTER THAT BOMBSHELL REPORT IN THE NEW YORK. TIMES ABOUT A SECRET DEMOCRATIC PLOT TO SABOTAGE THE CAMPAIGN. OF REPUBLICAN SENATOR DAN SULLIVAN BY PLACING ANOTHER CANDIDATE WITH. THE SAME NAME ON THE BALLOT TO CONFUSE VOTERS. THE TIMES REPORTING PELTOLA'S CAMPAIGN WORKED WITH NATIONAL DEMOCRATS, EVENTUALLY FINDING A MAN NAMED DAN J. SULLIVAN TO RUN. TONIGHT WE SPOKE TO PEOPLE IN ANCHORAGE. ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED IN THE DEMOCRATS IN THIS?

UM. I MEAN. IF THE BASIS IS TRUE, THEN YES, OF COURSE IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT IT'S LESS THAN HONEST, YOU KNOW. AT LEAST 60,000 ALASKANS HAVE ALREADY VOTED. ANY CONFUSION FILLING OUT THE BALLOT? NO CONFUSION. IT'S CLEAR THAT. HE IS THE INCUMBENT. WERE YOU CONFUSED ABOUT WHICH DAN SULLIVAN IT WAS? I WASN'T, BUT I'M SURE THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE THAT WILL BE. OVERNIGHT, PELTOLA DENYING ANY INVOLVEMENT AND SO. HAS THE DEMOCRATIC SENATE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.

I KNEW NOTHING. ABOUT ANY OTHER CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT EXCEPT FOR ME AND THE INCUMBENT, WITH SENATOR SULLIVAN SLAMMING PELTOLA FOR THE ALLEGED SCHEME. ONE THING ALASKANS DON'T LIKE IS TO BE TREATED. WITH CONTEMPT AND DISDAIN, AND THAT'S WHAT SHE'S DONE. ALL RIGHT, STEVE JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM ALASKA. STEVE, YOU MENTIONED THAT NEW YORK TIMES REPORT, AND I KNOW WE HAVE REPORTING NOW. THAT THE FBI IS ALREADY STARTING TO INTERVIEW. PEOPLE THAT WERE MENTIONED IN THAT ARTICLE.

TOM, WE CONFIRMED THE FBI CONTACTED AN INSURANCE MANAGER QUOTED IN THAT ARTICLE. WHO SAYS HE WAS RECRUITED TO RUN FOR SENATE AS WELL. HE TOLD US, QUOTE, AT THE TIME. IT FELT GROSS. TOM, STEVE PATTERSON LEADING US OFF TONIGHT FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. THERE WE ARE ALSO FOLLOWING THAT SUDDEN SHAKEUP. FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP, SCRAPPING MAJOR RALLIES IN THE FINAL DAYS OF THE CAMPAIGN. ONLY TO ADD THEM BACK ON HOURS LATER. GABE GUTIERREZ IS TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT TONIGHT. TONIGHT PRESIDENT TRUMP SHAKING UP HIS CLOSING CAMPAIGN PUSH,

FIRST ABRU CANCELING TWO RALLIES THIS WEEKEND IN KANSAS AND IOWA. BEFORE SUDDENLY TODAY ADDING THEM BACK. I GOT A CALL FROM IOWA AND FROM THE PEOPLE. AND FROM MY FRIENDS THAT ARE VERY, VERY GOOD, AND. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF RACES THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT. AND THEY SAID IF YOU COULD GO. IT WOULD BE BETTER THAN A TELE RALLY. IT COMES JUST A DAY AFTER HE RAILED AGAINST A. REPORTER FOR ASKING WHETHER HE WAS SICK OF TRAVELING. I FEEL PERFECT. YOU ARE DISGUSTING.

NOW IN MICHIGAN, THE SENATE RACE BETWEEN REPUBLICAN MIKE ROGERS AND DEMOCRAT. ABDULLAH EL SAYED IS GETTING EVEN MORE HEATED. WHAT'S HIS NAME? JV DANCE. THEY KEEP SENDING JV HERE. JV'S GOT ZERO CHARISMA. EL SAYED, NOW SET TO CAMPAIGN ON SUNDAY FOR THE FIRST. TIME WITH HIS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY OPPONENT HALEY STEVENS, THOUGH JUST DAYS AGO HER FIANCEE, A PROMINENT JEWISH. DEMOCRAT, SAID HE'S VOTING FOR ROGERS, POINTING TO EL SAYED'S VIEWS ON ISRAEL.

BUT STEVENS IS CALLING SUNDAY'S EVENT A UNIFYING MOMENT. I'M GRATEFUL THAT WE GET TO GO OUT THERE AND BUILD TOGETHER. THE MOVEMENT THAT WE NEED TO WIN. EL SAYED WAS PRESSED ON WHY IT TOOK SO LONG TO CAMPAIGN WITH HER. I'M REALLY ASKING THE QUESTIONS THAT THE PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR. REALLY. THIS IS ABOUT THE KEY THINGS. WHY I CAN'T AFFORD MY GROCERIES? WHY IS IT TAKING UNTIL SUNDAY TO CAMPAIGN WITH SOMEBODY? ASK ME A SERIOUS QUESTION. HERE IN FLORIDA, WHERE THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS TONIGHT, THE GOVERNOR'S RACE BETWEEN GOP CONGRESSMAN BYRON DONALDS AND DEMOCRAT.

DAVID JOLLY IS DRAWING ATTENTION. CARMEN CLARK SUPPORTS JOLLY. RIGHT NOW PEOPLE ARE LIKE, AM I GOING TO PAY FOR GAS OR AM I GOING TO PAY FOR GROCERIES? SUZANNE OLIVER VOTED EARLY FOR DONALD'S. AND APPRECIATES THE PRESIDENT CAMPAIGNING HERE. IS HE HELPING OR HURTING BY GETTING ON THE ROAD? I THINK HE'S HELPING. HE'S. HE'S MAKING THE BASE GET. SO EXCITED. AND GABE JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM THE PRESIDENT'S RALLY IN FLORIDA. THERE, GABE,

WE KNOW THAT THE SUNSHINE STATE HAS BECELECTIONS,ED IN. BUT NOW GOVERNOR RON DESANTISS IS WARNING REPUBLICANS. ABOUT GOP TURNOUT IN THE MIDTERMS THIS YEAR. YES, TOM, GOVERNOR DESANTIS IS WARNING THAT HE THINKS. REPUBLICANS ARE UNDERPERFORMING IN THE EARLY VOTE. NOW HE JUST SPOKE WITH BYRON DONALDS, THE GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE, JUST MOMENTS AGO, AND HE TELLS ME THAT HE THINKS GOP VOTERS WILL TURN OUT. ON TUESDAY. TOM, GABE, THANK YOU. AND JOINING ME, SAVANNAH GUTHRIE, STEVE. KORNACKI AND THE REST OF OUR NBC NEWS TEAM.

TUESDAY NIGHT HERE ON NBC FOR THE BEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE. MIDTERM COVERAGE. OK, NOW TO THAT BRUTAL DAY ON WALL STREET. THE TECH-HEAVY NASDAQ PLUNGING NEARLY 3% OVER CONCERNS. HUGE INVESTMENTS IN AII MAY NOT BE PAYING OFF. BRIAN CHUNG EXPLAINS. IT WAS DEEP RED ACROSS WALL STREET TODAY. AS INVESTORS SOURED ON TECH STOCKS BURNING CASH TO FUEL THE AI BUILDOUT, ERASING MORE THAN $1 TRILLION FROM THE SECTOR. AMONG THE BIGGEST LOSERS, INTEL, FALLING OVER 28% IN THE WORST DROP FOR THE STOCK IN AT LEAST 4 DECADES.

THE COMPANY, WHICH INCLUDES THE US GOVERNMENT AMONG ITS INVESTORS, SAYING IN AN EARNINGS CALL THAT ITS INVESTMENTS ARE COSTING BIG. I DON'T THINK THAT. THAT. YOU KNOW THIS WILL BE A YEAR IN WHICH WE SEE POSITIVE CASH FLOW. INTEL'S SPILL TAKING DOWN WITH IT OTHER BIG. CHIP MAKERS LIKE NVIDIA DROPPING MORE THAN 4%. INVESTORS ONCE GIDDY OVER BIG TECH'S MASSIVE INVESTMENTS. NOW ASKING WHEN THAT SPENDING WILL PAY OFF. AND AS WALL STREET WRESTLED WITH AI, CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADERS DEALT WITH A MASSIVE BREACH.

OVER $6 BILLION STOLEN FROM CRYPTO EXCHANGE FINANCE. YOUR ASSETS ARE SAFE. THE COMPANY'S CO-CEO TRYING TO REASSURE CUSTOMERS. I WANT TO BE CLEAR. WE ARE COMMITTED TO COVERING ALL HACK LOSSES. THROUGH OUR COMPANY FUNDS. BINANCE SAYING HACKERS MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAP. INTO A COMPROMISED LAPTOP AND ADDITIONAL BREACH POINTS, DRAINING THE FUNDS. AN INVESTIGATION FROM TRM LABS SAID THE WITHDRAWALS TOOK JUST 20 MINUTES. AND WERE LIKELY CARRIED OUT BY NORTH KOREA. TRM LABS' ARI REDBOARD SAYS IT'S THE LARGEST HEIST EVER.

NORTH KOREA IN PARTICULAR HAS REALLY, REALLY DIRECTED THEIR RESOURCES AT ATTACKING THE CRYPTO ECOSYSTEM. AND I WORRY THAT NOWHERE IS ABSOLUTELY SAFE TODAY. A NUMBER OF CRYPTO COMPANIES SAID THEY WERE ABLE. TO FREEZE AROUND $3 BILLION OF THE STOLEN FUNDS, WITH THE REST. CONTROLLED BY THE HACKERS, AS EXPERTS SAY THE THREAT IS ONLY GETTING BIGGER. BRIAN CHUNG JOINS US NOW LIVE IN STUDIO. SO BRIAN, LET'S GO BACK TO THE STOCKS. YOU GOT TWO MAJOR MARKET MOVERS NEXT WEEK, RIGHT? APPLE'S GOING TO REPORT EARNINGS.

AND THEN OF COURSE THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS. YEAH, AND TOM, APPLE, WHICH BY THE WAY IS NOW THE ONLY PUBLICLY TRADED. COMPANY THAT'S WORTH MORE THAN $5 TRILLION HAS LARGELY BEEN. INSULATED FROM THE AI FEARS BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN. SEEN AS LESS AGGRESSIVE ON THE TECHNOLOGY. AS FOR THE. MIDTERMS NEXT WEEK, THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE IN TERMS OF. CONTROL OF CONGRESS FOR THINGS LIKE AI REGULATION. AS WELL AS FOR THE ECONOMY, BOTH VERY IMPORTANT TOPICS FOR INVESTORS, AND WE'LL STAY ON TOP OF THOSE MARKETS NEXT WEEK. BRIAN, THANKS TO TEXAS NOW, WHERE AN ICE OFFICER HAS BEEN INDICTED. AFTER ALLEGEDLY RUNNING OVER A MAN HE WAS PURSUING WITH HIS CAR,

BREAKING HIS LEG. AND TONIGHT WE HAVE NEW BODY CAMERA OF THAT INCIDENT. HERE'S PRISCILLA THOMPSON. TONIGHT, NEW BODY CAMERA VIDEO FROM THE ICE OFFICER NOW. INDICTED FOR RUNNING A MAN OVER WITH HIS CAR. OFFICER MARIO ALBERTO MORALES GETS OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS MIGUEL PARA HERNANDEZ IS HEARD CRYING OUT ON THE GROUND. MORALES LIFTS HERNANDEZ'S RIGHT LEG. BEFORE TURNING HIM OVER ON HIS BACK.

TODAY A TEXAS GRAND JURY INDICTED MORALES ON A. CHARGE OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON. IF YOU ARE HIDING BEHIND A BADGE. AND ACTING LIKE A ROVING BAND OF THUGS ON OUR STREETS. WE WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE. ICE CALLING THE PROSECUTION A POLITICAL STUNT BY HOUSTON SANCTUARY POLITICIANS, ADDING ALLEGATIONS THAT ICE STRUCK MIGUEL PARA HERNANDEZ INTENTIONALLY. ARE RECKLESS AND FALSE. SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SHOWS PARA HERNANDEZ AND ANOTHER. MAN FLEEING FROM OFFICERS THREE WEEKS AGO.

WHEN PARA HERNANDEZ IS STRUCK BY THE DARK SUV. ICE SAYS HE WAS IN THE US ILLEGALLY, BUT THAT JOSE MENDOZA CERVANTES WAS THEIR ORIGINAL TARGET, THOUGH HIS DAUGHTER TOLD PARA'S ATTORNEY HER FATHER DIED IN 2017. DHS TOUTING MORE THAN 4000 ARRESTS IN TEXAS IN THE LAST 10 DAYS. YOU CAN'T HAVE NATIONAL SECURITY IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO'S IN YOUR COUNTRY, AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ENTERED THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY, WE'RE GOING AFTER YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY.

AND TOM, AS FOR ICE OFFICER MORALES, HIS ATTORNEY TELLS US HIS CLIENT IS INNOCENT. AND WILL SELF-SURRENDER. TOM, PRISCILLA THOMPSON FOR US TONIGHT. PRISCILLA, THANK YOU. HEADING OVERSEAS WHERE TENS OF THOUSANDS TOOK TO THE STREETS ACROSS ITALY TODAY. IN DEMONSTRATIONS OVER THE COST OF LIVING AND MILITARY SPENDING. PROTESTERS IN ROME CLASHING WITH RIOT POLICE. AND OUR RICHARD ENGEL AND HIS TEAM WERE CAUGHT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. GRENADES AND RIOT POLICE MEETING DEMONSTRATORS ON THE STREETS OF ROME TONIGHT.

PROTESTERS ARE GATHERING HERE. SOME OF THEM ARE THROWING. BOTTLES AT THE POLICE. YOU CAN SEE THE BOTTLES HITTING THE GROUND THERE, AND THE POLICE ARE PREPARED. FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE A CHARGE, AND THAT IS A. WATER CANNON. TRUCK. IN POSITION. WHAT HAD BEEN OCCASIONAL SKIRMISHES ACROSS ITALY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. GAVE WAY. TO AN EVEN MORE CONFRONTATIONAL SCENE. AT NIGHT. IF YOU LISTEN, NOT ALL THE PROTESTERS ARE HAPPY WITH.

WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. SOME ARE SAYING STOP THIS, STOP THIS. IT IS NOT HELPFUL. WE TOOK COVER BEHIND A CAR. AS POLICE USED A WATER CANNON. TRYING TO DISPERSE A CROWD GROWING INCREASINGLY THREATENING. AND HERE IT COMES. TENS OF THOUSANDS MARCHED IN ITALY TODAY, MANY OF THEM YOUNG PEOPLE ANGRY OVER THE COST OF LIVING. 20-YEAR-OLD LUCA SAYS HE'S STUDYING TO BE A DOCTOR. WE'VE BEEN TOLD ALL THESE YEARS THAT WE DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR A PROPER EDUCATION. WE DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR HEALTHCARE,

AND THEN WE THEM EVERY DAY. BRAGGING ABOUT HOW THEY ARE GOING TO. INCREASE THE MILITARY BUDGET. HE WAS PART OF THE PEACEFUL PROTEST BY DAY. THAT DEVOLVED IN THE NIGHT. SO THE POLICE. HAVE NOW. CHARGED. TO MOVE BACK THE DEMONSTRATORS. YOU CAN SEE THEM RUSHING RIGHT THERE TO CLEAR OUT THE CROWDS. HERE ARE THE POLICE WAGONS. FORCE ULTIMATELY USED TO RETURN ORDER TO THE STREETS OF ROME. SINCE SO MANY OF THE DEMONSTRATORS HERE IN EUROPE ARE VERY YOUNG, ITALY IS NOW HOLDING PARENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR VANDALISM AND VIOLENCE.

TOM RICHARD ENGEL IN ITALY. WHEN WE RETURN IN 60 SECONDS, THE INMATE WHO SURVIVED THAT BOTCHED EXECUTION IN TENNESSEE, WELL, SHE'S NOW SPEAKING. WHAT SHE'S SAYING ABOUT THE INTENSE PAIN SHE. ENDURED SWEPT AWAY THE FLASH FLOODS SO POWERFUL. THEY TOSSED CARS INTO THE OCEAN, AND THE CONFETTI WAS FLYING AND THE BEERS WERE FLOWING. FOR THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS. THE MOMENT. DECADES IN THE MAKING.

TONIGHT WE'RE HEG FROM THE TENNESSEE DEATH ROW INMATE. WHO SURVIVED THAT BOTCHED EXECUTION ONE MONTH AGO. KRISTA PIKE SAYING SHE WAS PREPARED TO DIE BUT WOKE UP ALONE. AND CONFUSED. JESSIE KIRSCH HAS MORE. TONIGHT KRISTA PIKE SPEAKING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HER FAILED EXECUTION. THERE HASN'T BEEN A MOMENT SINCE THAT NIGHT WHEN I HAVEN'T BEEN IN PAIN, SHE SAYS IN PART IN A STATEMENT RELEASED BY HER LEGAL TEAM, ADDING, I STILL STRUGGLE TO SPEAK, AND THE PAIN ISN'T JUST PHYSICAL. THERE IS PAIN IN MY MIND.

AND IN MY SOUL. IN 1995, A THEN. 18-YEAR-OLD PIKE MURDERED HER 19-YEAR-OLD CLASSMATE. PIKE, NOW 50, WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE BY LETHAL INJECTION LAST MONTH. TENNESSEE OFFICIALS ADMINISTERED TWO DOSES OF PENTOBARBITAL, BUT IN AN APPARENTLY UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION, PIKE SURVIVED. ARE THERE PHYSICAL SIGNS ON HER BODY OF THE INJURIES CAUSED BY THIS? YES, YEAH, AND WHEN I FIRST SAW THEM, THEY LOOKED LIKE.

WHAT I WOULD THINK OF AS VERY VERE BURNS. HER LAWYER CALLING ON TENNESSEE GOVERNOR BILL LEE TO. COMMUTE HER SENTENCE TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT PAROLE, THE GOVERNOR SAYING THIS ON WEDNESDAY, I SUSPECT HER SENTENCE WILL BE THE SAME. AS IT WAS BEFORE UNLESS DETERMINED OTHERWISE. IN TODAY'S NEW STATEMENT, PIKE ALSO SAYING, I CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT MY VICTIMS' FAMILY. AND THE TERRIBLE PAIN AND LOSS THEY HAVE ENDURED. AND TONIGHT PIKE'S LEGAL TEAM ASKING A FEDERAL JUDGE TO ORDER TENNESSEE OFFICIALS. TO STOP HER. INDEFINITE ISOLATION FROM OTHER INMATES.

IN A PRISON INFIRMARY. TOM, JESSE KIRSCH FOR US. WE'RE BACK IN A MOMENT WITH THE INTENSE EXPLOSION. HITTING TWO MEMBERS OF THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL. THEY WERE LUCKY TO MAKE IT OUT ALIVE. WHAT HAPPENED HERE. AND THE REBOUND FOR A STATUE THAT. DIDN'T QUITE LOOK LIKE AN NBA LEGEND. THE HALL OF FAME DO-OVER. NEXT. WE'RE BACK NOW WITH WILD NEW VIDEO OF CARS BEING SWEPT OUT INTO THE OCEAN IN BAJA. CALIFORNIA. YOU CAN SEE ALL THOSE WAVES THERE IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN CRASHING OVER THOSE VEHICLES,

SOME STUCK IN THE SAND, OTHERS SWEPT FURTHER OUT AT SEA. IT COMES AFTER HEAVY RAINS DRENCHED THE REGION, FLOODING OUT STREETS. AND OVERWHELMING ROADS JUST LIKE THIS. ALSO TONIGHT, TERRIFYING VIDEO OF TWO CALIFORNIA. HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICERS GETTING ENGULFED IN FLAMES. LOOK AT THAT. AFTER A CAR EXPLODED ON A FREEWAY, YOU CAN SEE IT MORE CLEARLY WHEN IT SLOWED DOWN HERE. THE HIGHWAY PATROL SAYS BOTH OFFICERS WERE HURT. AND TAKEN TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. THEY ALSO SAY THE DRIVER OF THE CAR THEY PULLED OVER WAS ARRESTED.

FOR DUI. OK. THE STREETS OF MILWAUKEE FILLED WITH JOY, JUBILATION, AND PLENTY OF BEERS. AFTER THE BREWERS. WON THEIR FIRST EVER WORLD SERIES TITLE. THEY HOISTED THE TROPHY. AS. TENS OF THOUSANDS CHEERED ON. THEY WENT BY A MASSIVE MURAL OF THE LATE GREAT BOB UECKER LOOKING ON. A FAN EVEN CHUCKED A BEARD OF PITCHING ACE JACOB. MIZROWSKI ON TOP OF A FLOAT, AND HE, OF COURSE, CHUGGED IT. AND IN MIAMI, EXTREME MAKEOVER STATUE EDITION FOR DWYANE WADE. ARTISTS HAD TO COMPLETELY REDO THE FACE OF THE.

STATUE HONORTHE NBA HALL OF FAMER AFTER CRITICISM. IT DIDN'T REALLY LOOK LIKE HIM AT ALL AND LIKELY. SCARED SMALL CHILDREN. YOU CAN SEE A SIDE BY SIDE OF THE BEFORE AND AFTER. WADE SPENT MOST OF HIS NBA CAREER WITH THE HEAT. AND WAS A BIG PART OF THEIR THREE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS. AND IS STILL BELOVED IN SOUTH FLORIDA. ALL RIGHT, WHEN WE COME BACK TONIGHT, HE WAS AN NFL MVP AND THEN A STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. AND A MEDAL OF FREEDOM WINNER, BUT ALAN PAGE IS SO MUCH MORE. THIS WEEK'S GREAT AMERICAN.

NEXT. FINALLY TONIGHT, OUR SERIES GREAT AMERICANS, AND A MAN WHOSE HALL OF FAME FOOTBALL CAREER WAS. JUST THE BEGINNING OF HIS STORY. HE WENT ON TO BECOME A STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. AND WAS AWARDED THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM. TONIGHT'S GREAT AMERICAN. JUSTICE ALAN PAGE. BEING AN AMERICAN MEANS HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY. TO. BE YOURSELF, I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN.

CREATE. A MORE PERFECT UNION. ALAN PAGE WAS JUST 8 YEARS OLD WHEN THE SUPREME COURT ISSUED ITS LANDMARK DECISION. STRIKING DOWN SEGREGATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. FOR ME THAT. EVEN AT THAT EARLY AGE IT HAD A PROFOUND IMPACT. WHAT IT WAS DOING WAS CREATING HOPE. HE SET HIS SIGHTS ON A CAREER IN LAW, DETERMINED TO JOIN IN THAT FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. BUT ANOTHER CALLING FOUND HIM FIRST. FOOTBALL. HE DOMINATED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME.

THEN. THE NFL CAME CALLING. PAGE PLAYED 15 SEASONS AS A DEFENSIVE TACKLE. PART OF THE LEGENDARY VIKINGS DEFENSE KNOWN AS THE PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS, APPEARING IN 4 SUPER BOWLS. IN 1972, HE WAS NAMED THE NFL'S MOST VALUABLE PLAYER, THE FIRST DEFENSIVE PLAYER TO BE AWARDED THAT HONOR. WINNING, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL STRIVE FOR.

T. IT DOESN'T CHANGE WHO WE ARE OR. WHO WE WILL BECOME. THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE WAS STILL HIS PRIORITY. BETWEEN FOOTBALL GAMES, PAGE ATTENDED LAW SCHOOL. HE WORKED AS AN ATTORNEY FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, AND IN 1992. BECAME THE FIRST BLACK MAN ELECTED. TO THE STATE SUPREME COURT. HE SERVED AS A JUSTICE FOR 22 YEARS, BRINGING HIS COMMITMENT TO FAIRNESS AND HIS SIGNATURE BOW TIE TO THE BENCH, AND EVERY CASE.

HAD ITS OWN IMPORTANCE. THE GOAL IS TO GET IT RIGHT. IN 2018, HE WAS AWARDED THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, BUT PAGE SAYS THE GREATEST HONOR HE'S EVER RECEIVED. IS JUSTICE PAGE MIDDLE SCHOOL. HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS. THIS IS HOME. AND IT FEELS LIKE HOME. STUDENTS TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO RENAME THEIR SCHOOL. AFTER A MODERN DAY HERO. THE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE.

PEOPLE LOOK AT THAT AND SAY. THAT'S EXCEPTIONAL. I'D SAY IT'S NOT NECESSARILY EXCEPTIONAL BECAUSE. WE ALL HAVE THE POWER TO DO SOMETHING. NO MATTER WHO WE ARE, NO MATTER WHAT OUR BACKGROUND IS, WE ALL HAVE THE POWER TO. LIFT OTHERS UP. TO. MAKE THINGS BETTER. ON THE FIELD AND ON THE BENCH, A GREAT AMERICAN. THAT'S NIGHTLY NEWS FOR THIS FRIDAY. I'M TOM YAMAS. WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING. TONIGHT. AND ALWAYS,

WE'RE HERE FOR YOU. GOOD NIGHT.
