the app do for engage young voters? you. we turn now to the economy, and that major decision for the federal reserve and its ongoing flight against inflation. the fed raising its benchmark interest rate by another quarter percent, pushing it to its highest level since 2007. the move also leading to some concerns that it could not only put additional pressure on consumers, but also negatively impact the ongoing banking crisis we've seen in this country over the last few weeks. here to break it down for us, nbc's business reporter, brian chong. welcome back. simplify it for us. welcome back, we should recognize, you called it yesterday, you said it was going to be a quarter of a appoint and it was. what does that mean for consumers short-term and long-term? >> the federal reserve tries to telegraph all of this ahead of time, so businesses and consumers are aware of what they're doing. interest rates are going higher because of the battle with inflation. prices are still really high at the store. we're all experiencing that. they raise interest rates to make borrowers essentially pull back a little bit from spending. and as they do so, hopefully incentivize these companies to

lower their prices to meet them somewhere in the middle. hopefully that takes inflation down. but the challenge is that one of the dominos to fall that led to silicon valley bank's collapse was higher interest rates, which is the reason why the federal reserve didn't go by a larger interest rate hike. there was some chatter a few weeks ago that maybe they would go by half a point, but instead they went by a quarter point, raise interest rates enough to take care of inflation, but not so high that you're going to potentially break another bank. >> there could be another rate hike coming later this year. i don't know if that's correct. if the fed keeps raising rates, what are the chances of us finally reaching a recession? >> each of these meetings are usually six to seven weeks between each other. anything could happen in that time. we got some projections from the fed policy makers yesterday who said, look, they could do one more quarter point hike before the end of this year. the translation for all americans that are maybe not necessarily in the know on monetary policy and how the federal reserve works is that it's going to be really expensive and will remain expensive to borrow for a mortgage, for your credit card,

for your auto loans, right? mortgage rates right now are around 6.6%. some people are seeing 7%. and as long as the fed is not cutting interest rates, which fed chairman jay powell said yesterday, they're not thinking about doing, that means those rates are all going to remain high. >> all right, thank you. let's check in with al once again and get the rest of the forecast. >> thank you very much. >> come on down. >> hello! how are you? we were just in the back there, checking the weather. anyway, we've got some afternoon showers, strong storms, especially beautiful weather in the southeast today. temperatures, 88 degrees today in tampa. we've got showers making their way through the northeast. heavy snow moving into the pacific northwest. and afternoon storms firing up down through television. that's what's going on around the country. here's what's happening in your neck of the woods.

murdoch were murdered. now that their case is resolved, the spotlight is shifting to steven smith's investigation. state investigators making it a top priority. >> the homicide investigation into steven smith's 2015 death receiving fresh law enforcement resources and bringing renewed hope to their family. >> i've been wanting this for the last eight years and now it's happening. >> reporter: the south carolina law division says progress has been made. the chief assigning additional agents to work this case in the hopes that those who know what happened to mr. smith are more willing to speak freely now than they may have been in 2015 or 2021. according to police reports, 19-year-old steven smith was found dead on a rural road, his shoes still on his feet. a short distance away, his abandoned car, the gas cap unscrewed, his wallet inside. at the time, the on-scene supervisor telling a detective

it appeared to be a homicide, but the medical examiner ruled it a hit-and-run, a determination later challenged by investigators. >> there's no marks from a vehicle, no skid marks in the roadway, nothing in the grass. >> reporter: police recordings also show the murdaugh family name came up multiple times in interviews from 2015, including with steven's mother. >> the rumors that's going around that everybody keeps coming up to me and saying it was the murdaugh boys. >> the murdaugh boys. >> yes, whoever they are. >> reporter: other individuals also named murdaugh in taped interviews. >> who was that? >> mr. murdaugh. >> okay. i'll be honest with you, mr. murdaugh's been on our radar long before this. >> reporter: buster murdaugh, the surviving son of convicted killer alex murdaugh, said he had nothing to do with smith's death, and asks for privacy as

he grieves the murder of his mothers and brother. >> in a statement shared with nbc news earlier this week, buster murdaugh called the rumors that he and steven had a relationship baseless and denied any involvement with his death, add ing adding, my heart goes out to the smith family. buster murdaugh was never interviewed about the 2015 case. >> the attorney for steven smith's mother says he plans to petition a judge for the exhume ation of smith's body. he's hoping that now they'll speak more freely about the truth. craig? >> catie beck for us in colombia, south carolina. let's bring in nbc's senior legal correspondent, laura jarrett. laura, good morning to you. >> good morning, craig. >> eight years after the death of steven smith, how hard is it to put together a murder investigation, considering how much time has lapsed? >> it's difficult, but not impossible.

we can all think about cold cases that were solved decades after a killing took place. the real issue here is that so much attention has been focused on this case. obviously, there's a netflix documentary, there's an hbo documentary. it's very hard to control witnesses and their memories after so much time, especially when they've been out there talking about the case so much. you have to wonder, how much of the evidence was preserved. we don't know enough about that. is it impossible, no. difficult? absolutely. >> we should point out, buster murdaugh has denied any involvement in the death of steven smith. he was not questioned at the time. any chance that buster murdaugh gets questioned this time by investigators? >> why would he want to have any connection to this at all. if he says he has nothing to do with it, they have no probable cause to believe that he has any involvement. he's completely denied it. i think it's really hard. this is all sort of based on rumor and innuendo. and even you can see in katie's piece, the detectives are saying that he's been on our radar. why?

there's just no hard evidence. and without that, you can imagine buster doesn't have a great relationship with authorities right now. they just managed to get a murder conviction against his dad. i don't see any incentive for him to come in and talk. >> that being said, where does the investigation then go from here? >> it's interesting, you know, detectives put out this statement yesterday, and one thing that did catch my eye, they say, progress has been made. what progress? what have they found? they're clearly hoping more people a

with a new rule that would make it as easy for you to cancel as it was to sign up. from streaming video and music platforms to meal kits and clothing, subscriptions and memberships now exist for nearly everything. one survey finding nearly 80% of adults worldwide now pay for a subscription service. all it takes to sign up, but when you want to cancel, many wonder, could it be anymore complicated? chandler trying once again trying to cancel his gym membership in this classic episode of "friends." >> i want to quit the gym. >> you do realize you won't have access to our new full-service swedish spa. >> i want to quit the gym. >> some companies require you to show up in person to cancel or hit you with drawn-out sales pitches. others offer confusing online directions and phone calls with longer-than-usual wait times.

the federal trade commission calls these dark pattern tactics designed to trick and trap consumers. some expressing their frustration on social media. >> it says, hey, how to end your subscription. go to "end subscription" button, but it doesn't exist. >> reporter: now the ftc sharing exclusively with "today," it is proposing a new rule to help. what would this rule do for consumers? >> so this rule would basically make it so that companies have to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as they do sign up. >> reporter: ftc chair lina khan says the rule would allow consumers to cancel subscriptions the same way they signed up for them, whether online or by phone and in the same number of steps. they would also have to disclose certain terms before collecting your billing information. >> they need to tell you how long the trial period goes for, clearly have to tell you by when they have to cancel. >> reporter: what are you anticipating in terms of pushback for companies? >> we welcome their comments and welcome seeing what their perspective is, but at the end of the day, consumers don't

benefit if companies are tricking or trapping them. >> why now is this rule coming down? >> the frk tc has been bringing lawsuits against some of these practices for some time. we put out guidance to put companies on notice, and we realize it's not having a sweeping enough effect. >> reporter: the push coming as a recent survey found more than half of consumers underestimate their monthly subscriptions by at least $100. khan says if approved, it could take up to six months or longer for the rule to take effect. in the meantime, apps like rocket money or mint could help you keep track of your subscriptions. and always read the fine print before signing up. if you take advantage of a free trial period, set a calendar reminder of when to cancel and check to see if you're on auto renewal, because those charges can slip through and really add up. >> and the ftc telling us exclusively, if this rule will go into effect, it will allow the ftc to charge companies hefty fines if they don't comply. also, the ftc will get money back for consumers. the agency will take public

comment on this proposed rule soon on its website. just check, follow the social media, or go to regulations.gov. >> you sometimes lose track. i do those free trials and i don't know how to get rid of it. what's another way to track your subscriptions? >> the companies are counting on you to forget and they auto-renew. in addition to using those apps and setting reminders on your calendar, use something called privacy.com. it's a website where you can assign a unique debit card number for every online purchase, you can control how much they take out, cancel those cards at any time. so you don't fall into that trap of auto renewal. >> that's a great idea. >> you've got to manage it, but it works. >> thank you. >> nick jr. since 2016, like three months, i'm still paying for it. >> and now the kids are 30. mr. roker, back with another check of the weather. >> but craig still likes watching doug. >> look at these temperatures today. d.c., you'll be up into the

to the school called collectives are striking deals. >> some college administrators will say all the collective is, is basically laundering money, right? from the school's donors lu it to athletes. which is why several people believe the current system is not the way to do things. >> it has upended the college recruiting process, especially for football and men's basketball. >> third parties are promising a significant payment to student athlete if he or she will attend a certain school. >> reporter: father john calls it pay-to-play. >> once you go down a path to say, we're paying them for their play, you go more and more to this professional model. and you lose sight of this educational purpose that these programs are set up for in the first place. >> why can't there be some level of professionalism in college athletics. it's certainly been a

>> good to be here. >> as a pediatrician, first up, i would never -- >> let my child get on a bicycle, a scooter, or really anything with wheels without a helmet. even if it's just in the driveway. i make all of my patients pinkie promise me that they won't do it, because it's so tempting, and i tell them that you only have one head and you really need to protect it. >> it doesn't matter how far you're going on that. >> exactly. >> you also say as a pediatrician, up next, as a pediatrician, i would never buy a trampoline for my own backyard. >> absolutely. and this one was really tough for my own kids, because they really wanted one. but i've seen so many injuries and broken bones from trampolines, especially when there's more than one child jumping at a time. let's face it, who wants to bounce by themselves. trampolines are a "no." >> this next one would be pretty controversial. as a pediatrician, i would never let my pediatrician charge their cell phone in their own bedroom. why? >> yes. this is a tough one, but plain

and simple, it interferes with sleep, and sleep is so important. we all get that dopamine hit, even adults, when you get a notification on your cell phone. and think about it for kids. so much of their social life is on their phone, so it's irresistible if that goes off in the middle of the night. so i say, charge them outside of the room. and the kids will push back and say, but my phone is my alarm clock! and on that, i say, go old school. there are still digital alarm clocks available for purchase. get one of those. this next one, i'm guilty of doing this, i would never as a pediatrician send my child to school with ibuprofen. >> yes. >> why not? >> well, if your child wakes up with a fever in the morning and you say, oh, i'm just going to give him some ibuprofen or aseat men fen, you're hurting other children because you're sending your child to school when they're potentially most contagious. and also think about your own child, once the medication wears off, they're really going to feel lousy. >> and last, never stray from

car safety guidelines? >> yes. this is easy in the beginning, right? for infants and toddlers, they need to be in rear-facing car seats, they're not going to put up a fight, parents know to do this. but once day graduate to a booster seat, when they've outgrown the limits of their car seat, i find that sometimes parents will take the kids out too soon. you don't go based on age in terms of graduating from a booster, you go based on height. and typically that happens around 4'9" inches. and for some kids, they may be 8 or 12. and 12-year-olds do not want to sit in a booster. >> dr. levine, thank you. >> sheinelle, those are really good. i'm guilty of a couple of those. i'm here with joseph may knows, and he has tips on what he would never do after nearly 15 years in the hair industry. joseph, good morning. >> good morning! >> you have some really good ones. people care about their hair, let's dive into what they shouldn't be doing. first up, you say you would never use a shampoo that overpromises.

>> now whenever i'm shopping for shampoos, they all say they'll moisturize, volumize, and tone their hair. your shampoo will leave ingredients into your hair. you're massaging all of these ingredients into your scalp. your shampoo should be doing one thing and that's cleaning your air. over time, those ingredients can build up on your hair, make your hair appear greasy quicker, and impede healthy hair growth. >> that makes sense. next, you say, don't sleep with an elastic or rubber brand. >> this is a sure way to break your hair. don't sleep with a tight elastic. there's great options now, like silk scrunchies and stuff. you can remove instead of pulling them, try to use a hot tool to pop the elastic off. >> next is interesting. you say, you wouldn't use styling tools, after you hair spray your tool, don't put that

flat iron or curling iron back on top of it. >> hair spray is the opposite of a thermal protectant. they're going to sizzle on your hair and fry your hair. )zisher. there are great thermal protect ta protectapts. never judge a product based on its price. quickly. >> there's great products at all price points. some luxury items, you're paying for a gorgeous bottle. and there's great affordable items as well. it's important to find ingredients that work well for you and really look for some science-based products. >> don't grow your hair thinking it will grow faster. >> it's important to keep your ends healthy, but it's not going to enhance growth. >> that is a good one. because i thought so. carson, your turn. >> we've queen of cleaning on

tiktok, over 5 million followers. vanessa, good to see you. let's get right to it. leaner, you say, you never have to -- you should always clean a ceiling fan and do it first. >> you want to start cleaning from the top and work your way down. you don't want to have to reclean something that you already cleaned. always start at the top and work your way down. ceiling fan first, sheets and everything then. >> next up, never use gloss or polish on wood floors. >> yes. so wood polish is actually going to ruin your wood floors with time. it creates like a film that will peel. so if you're at the store and if you have a wood polish and cleaner, get the cleaner and leave the polish behind. >> and a good tip for cleaning lights. >> always turn your lights off when you're cleaning mirrors. the lightbulb actually releases heat and so it evaporates your cleaner before you get a chance to clean. so that's why you get streaks and marks. so always turn your lights off and then clean your mirrors.

>> a great trip when you're cleaning a surface is to do what? >> spray your towel, never directly. why not? because you're going to be spraying your walls, your floor, or even your food if it's close by. always the towel, never the surface. >> how about when you're rinsing things, a tub or what not? >> always use cold water, because hot water produces more suds and bubbles. so always use more cold water. >> that's why you're the queen of tiktok. great tips. vanessa, than we get ready for the next strong system forming in the pacific set toñi arrive monday night into tuesday next week. the timing and just how much rain is still to be worked out

but it will linger into wednesday. >> best time of the morning, pop start. >> i broke like three out of the five pediatrician rules. i'm in the market for a trampoline. >> see you later. first up on pop start, we've got dolly pardon, the country icon adding to a book collection. this fall, dolly will release behind the scenes, my life in rhinestones. for the first time, she'll be sharing the full story behind her lifelong passion for fashion. and how she developed her distinct dolly style. the book will feature behind the scene stories from dolly's life and career and a look at her private costume archive spanning over 60 years, complete with her famous wigs, sky-high heels, and those eye-catching stage clothes. in part, sharing this excitement, putting out a statement saying, i'm not sure where it was, but it says, it is my hope you will enjoy a look at my life and costume and air and get to know some of the great

people that have helped shape my life and my look. "behind the scenes: my life in rhinestone" will be available on october 17th. courteney cox, you probably remember her the clean freak from "friends" who will go to extreme lengths to make sure things are tidy. >> do you have a bucket and soap can i borrow? >> i have soap and sponges and rags andcarnuba wax and polishing compound. >> you don't even have a car. >> one time there was a really dirty car parked in front of the building and i washed it.

>> you can go around! ♪ it's enough to drive you crazy if you let it ♪ ♪ 9:00 to 5:00 for service and devotion ♪ >> see, next time courtney might want to spray not directly -- >> on the cloth, on the cloth. >> next up, "law & order: svu," a last-minute decision for an svu superfan ended up leading to one of the best days to her life. she threw on this t-shirt with the characters olivia benson and eliot stabler and she runs into olivia benison herself. marissa hargitay loved the shirt so much, she added a picture of it to her instagram story and snapping a photo together. taylor shared the encounter on tiktok and her video now has more than 1.5 million views of it. she's been an svu fan forever

>> tony winner ben plat has stepped into the lead star of leo. >> i've always loved the score. jason robert brown is one of our great composers and he wrote the music and it's definitely a role as a jewish man i've always wanted to play. and micaela and are two of the first two jewish actors to get to tell this story professionally. >> micaela, this is a show that premiered i believe in the late '90s, '98, 25 years later, why do you think it's resonating so deeply now with audiences? >> unfortunately, it's kind of a timely experience. we did a short run at citi center and that's when anti-semitism was running rampant in this country. and i think it's a very gray story and perhaps the generation of "today" is kind of willing to sit with some of that gray. but i just feel really lucky to tell it, and it clearly is connecting.

>> just to sit with the gray. i like that. >> set the scene for us, this performance that we're about to see, so we have some context here. >> yes, of course, as you mentioned, you know, leo, my character, is in jail awaiting his death sentence, because he's been wrongfully convicted of a crime and he receives the news that his wife has been advocating for him and gets the georgia governor to re-examine his case. it's a real moment of hope. >> take it away. >> micaela, thank you. >> how did you ever manage it? you don't know what any of this means? it means cancel all your parties. ♪ forget your big parade ♪ ♪ it means the crowds will not be cheering, so despite what you've been hearing, you can lay down your spade ♪ ♪ it means my mother can stop crying ♪ ♪ my rabbi's eulogy can wait ♪
