12:00 pm
hi, everyone. i'm kate snow. >> i'm aaron gilchrist. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, friday, february 3rd, 2023, blowout. the nation's jobs report crushing expectations with unemployment hitting 53-year low. what these new numbers say about where the economy may be headed. spy games? a suspected chinese surveillance balloon was spotted over the u.s. the heated debate in washington about it and how china is responding. outrage and protests.
12:01 pm
the growing outcry in california after the deadly police shooting of a double amputee. what the mother of anthony low's son is now demanding. why do we all procast nate? the science why so many of us wait to check off the big items on our to do list. we begin with breaking news on the economy. >> the january jobs report shattering expectations, with the jobs added in the month of january, well above the 187,000 that were expected. the unemployment rate ticked down to 3.4%, the lowest level it's been at since 1969. economists predicted the unemployment rate would go up. >> president biden saying the economy is strong. >> while we may face setbacks along the way, there will be some, more work to do is clear, our plan is working because of the grit and resolve of the american worker. >> joining us now nbc news business and data reporter brian cheung, and also editor in chief
12:02 pm
of investopedia, ken silver are with us. brian, it seems like the estimates are far off from what wall street was expecting and economists is expecting. why is that? >> it seems to be a running theme. and maybe it is because people are more pessimistic about the impact of what the federal reserve was doing last year by raising interest rates at the fastest pace in decades and maybe they thought that would make businesses pull back from hiring and lay people off and when you look at leisure and hospital kalts, bars and restaurants, that was a big driver of the job gain report this morning and as well as professional and business services and health care. and the unemployment rate, it can't be understated how significant it was. it went down to 3.4%. it matches the levels that we saw in 1969. but you want to see an unemployment rate that was lower than that, you got to rewind to 1953. so it is an historic report that we got this morning. >> help us square something here. we get to this jobs report,
12:03 pm
after we've done so much reporting about the layoffs in the tech sector. tens of thousands of jobs have been in the last few months. explain the disconnect, make it make sense. >> to brian's point. the hiring has been in the areas that were hurt the most during the pandemic and that have taken the longest to recover. leisure an hospitality, government jobs are coming back right now, health care jobs are coming right back now, so you're seeing some aggressive hiring there, and the wage growth, which has been so strong, tapered off a little bit but you still see sectors that need workers, there's 11 million job openings in the united states, as the jobs report. the jobs report and labor turnover survey and 4 million people straight up quit their jobs in december but there is so much slack in the labor market >> i keep thinking is there going to mean that the fed keeps having to raise interest rates. >> the expectation. >> yes. >> thanks. brian cheung, caleb silver, thank you. a dangerous blast of cold air hitting parts of the northern u.s. more than 20 million americans are facing wind chill alerts today. in maine, the windchill could
12:04 pm
get negative 60 degrees. new york city, boston, and providence, could all set record lows. >> take a look at this video. the mount washington observatory in new hampshire. recorded a wind chill of negative 91 earlier today. we'll get to meteorologist bill karins in just a moment. first let's go to george solis in new york city. what are leaders in new york and the region doing to try to keep people safe during this deep freeze? >> reporter: good afternoon, kate and aaron. first and foremost, this is such a rude awakening after such a mild winter but officials around the region are stressing to limit your time outside, if you're going to go out, make sure you take all of the necessarily precaution, hats, scarves, gloves, all of the layers and here in new york city and much around the region, officials are checking on those without homes to make sure they have a safe and warm place, we're talking city shelters and warming centers in new york. and checking out no hot water
12:05 pm
and heat requests. and making sure there are no water main breakage and keeping close tabs on the power grid. officials also making sure that people are mindful of things like space heaters, as we know, year after year, we hear tragedies related to these devices, and of course, making sure that people who may not have heat in their homes, to not use the gas stoves to keep themselves warm. so of course, the good news in all of this, it is expected to be short-lived. and unless a certain ground hog who shall remain nameless is correct about the outlook of winter. guys. >> let's turn to bill karins now. who is going to get the worse of this particular blast of cold air and how long is it going to last? >> it is already here. now a question of how long will it continue. it looks like tomorrow afternoon, things will relax dramatically, in the areas that are getting hit the hardest. 25 million, the areas here in northern new york, all through areas of the capital district, vermont, new hampshire, maine, most of massachusetts, most of connecticut, rhode island, those are the warning areas and the areas we're worried about people going outside and getting too
12:06 pm
much exposure and frostbite and at worst hyperthermia, too. the wind chills now in the negative 11, three, dc, not too bad, dc, cold and not that dangerous and once the sun sets, those areas will see the temperatures dipping, and then we'll see the extreme dips in areas to the north. we're already in the negatives, upper 30s, to negative 42 right now, in northern maine, and northern vermont, is negative 32, and so you get the idea, where all of this bitterly cold air is and once the sun goes down, these numbers will probably jump up by 5 to 10 degrees, and i should say dive down and not jump up. tomorrow morning, this is the peak of the cold, new york at 10, boston, negative 6, but then, the incredible warmup, i mean this is one of the fastest warmups we've ever seen in some areas. boston up to mid 40s by the time we get to sunday. >> whiplash. bill karins, george soliis, thank you very much. tomorrow marks two weeks since a gunman stormed into a dance studio in monterey park
12:07 pm
california killing people and injuring nine others during the eve of the lunar new year and now we're hearing some of the chilly 911 calls from the deadly attack. nbc news correspondent steve paterson joins me now. what do we know. >> reporter: the calls released from the city clerk's office by a public records request yesterday and no way other way to say it, these are haunting, in the span of three minutes, since the first shots rang out, one of them i listened to is the boyfriend of mi-mi nan, one of the victims killed trying to flee in the car and shot through the window, i don't want to hear that call again, i'm not going to play it for you now but one thing that i think is important srkt first call that comes to 10:22, this is a man who thinks he has got ton somewhat of a place of safety as the shooter is reloading and as he makes the call and hear the panic in his voice and trying to calm himself down and the operator is trying to do the same. listen. >> what is going on, sir? >> somebody using a gun shooting people.
12:08 pm
he's inside the studio. >> inside the studio? >> yeah, yeah, that's the one. the guy is reloading. >> is anyone hurt? >> how long ago? >> just two minutes ago. >> okay. did he run away on foot or did he go in a vehicle? >> of course, the gunman, 72-year-old hukan tran was later found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, after storming yet another ballroom and being disarmed. authorities are doing all they can to find a motive. two weeks later, still don't know the motive. we is know they have been interviewing people who have connections to that ballroom, going back five years, and they still haven't found a connection to the gunman. that is something that is a primary top of mind in the investigation. >> having been there with you two weeks ago, it is just chilling to hear those calls. thank for bringing that to us. now, to more breaking news, we're following, the pentagon says a suspected chinese surveillance balloon is flying over the middle of the country. china claims that balloon is a chinese civilian air ship, used for weather research and was
12:09 pm
blown off course. but the pentagon this afternoon disputing that and members of congress are demanding briefings. that, as u.s. secretary of state antony blinken post poned the scheduled trip to china just hours before he was set to leave today. we're joined by nbc news pentagon correspondent courtney kube in dc and foreign correspondent janis mackey frayer in beijing for us. >> china obviously says this was a weather balloon that went off course. why is the pentagon convinced otherwise, and is there a way to know for sure? >> so the pentagon won't tell us why they are so confident that this is not only a surveillance craft, but it belongs to the chinese. those are details they just won't provide to us. but when specifically asked today about whether this chinese claim that it's some sort of a meteorological balloon, that's been straying off course, due to the winds, the pentagon press secretary brigadier general pat ryder said simply, we're confident this is a surveillance asset. and what we do know, a little bit more today than we did yesterday, about what it is doing and where it's moving. we know on wednesday, that it
12:10 pm
was over billings, montana. we now know it is moving in an eastward direction, and it's over the central part of the continental u.s. so it is so critical about that, aaron, it is still over the continental u.s. this is not unprecedented. the chinese have had these kinds of balloons that have come near or even gone into u.s. air space in the past. but what is so new, what is so concerning about this one is it's hovering over and moving along the continental u.s., and that's why u.s. officials have been talking about it and monitoring it on a minute by minute basis. >> let me turn to you in beijing today. what are we hearing from the chinese government about this balloon being in u.s. air space and i know that secretary blinken postponed that trip to beijing at the last minute. what can you tell us on both fronts? >> reporter: well, chinese officials spent much of the day trying to defuse tensions with washington over this disputed balloon. they've admitted, it's a chinese air ship, as courtney mentioned, they say it is being used for scientific purposes, they released a statement, on the
12:11 pm
foreign ministry website expressing regret and saying that they will now talk with u.s. officials to try to resolve what they call this unexpected situation. what isn't clear is whether china alerted the u.s. side to this balloon, straying into u.s. air space. those details have not been revealed, but the fallout is certainly going to have lasting implications. the visit by the secretary of state was supposed to be the first high level visit here in five years. so the fact that it's been called off is a serious setback for u.s./china relations which as we know are strained at best. >> janis mackey frayer with us today from beijing. we appreciate it. thank you. the ceo of southwest airlines will testify before congress, and the first generation iphone going up for auction. >> christina joins us now with our cnbc money minute. >> hi, let's begin with southwest airlines, next week, a top executive will be questioned

the trial of a former michigan police officer charged with murdering a black man will go forward. a judge made the ruling after attorneys for the former cop tried to have the case thrown out. former grand rapids police officer christopher schurr is charged with second-degree murder in connection to the death of patrick lyoya who was
12:16 pm
shot after the two physically struggled following a traffic stop in april of last year. schurr will appear in court tomorrow. a judge says a wrongful death lawsuit is allowed to move forward against kyle rittenhouse, he's the person who shot protesters in kenosha, wisconsin, back in 2020. rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in the fatal shootings of two people when he was 17 years old. he argued he acted in self-defense. well, now, the father of one of the men killed has filed a civil suit. he argues officers allowed for a dangerous situation that night, which violated his son's constitutional rights, which then resulted in his death. and they also argue that they conspired with rittenhouse, the officers, to cause harm to protesters. rittenhouse's attorney says his actions that night were not wrongful. nbc news legal analyst danny cevallos. explain, the father is pointing
12:17 pm
the finger at law enforcement in this civil suit. >> on the one hand he is alleging that he must believe that law enforcement conspired with rittenhouse to bring about the death of his child. on the other hand, the general rule of pleading is you tried in name, agencies, or corporations, or someone that are what we call deep pockets and the reality is, very few individuals, kyle rittenhouse is an individual, have enough money to pay a judgment, so you find a way to bring in an agency, like the police department. >> and he was acquitted as we said on all charges, criminal charges, back in 2021, so how will that interact with this civil case? >> look no further than the oj case where a similar thing happened. oj simpson was acquitted of the crime of murder but later on found liable for the deaths of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman in a civil suit. because the burden of proof is lower. in a criminal case, it is beyond a reasonable doubt. in a civil case, it is only the preponderance of the evidence. it doesn't necessarily mean that the plaintiff is going to win. mistake, i think they have a
12:18 pm
hard road here to finding a liability. but considering the opposite, had kyle rittenhouse been convicted, you could argue that hey, if they could prove beyond a reasonable doubt, then they probably could prove preponderance of the evidence. which is basically 51%. more likely than not. it's an easy standard for civil cases. >> dan, thank you. and a gay bar in new york city, police say criminals used facial recognition technology to steal thousands of dollars from patrons. they believe the tech was used to access the victims' phones and their money. we have a reporter on the story, matt, you've been digging into this. help us understand exactly what happened here. walk us through it. >> reporter: yes, so the nypd is confirming that there were five new incidents of these types of robberies, three of them against men who were attending a popular gay bar in manhattan's chelsea neighborhood, the eagle, to a bar on the lower east side, and what authorities are saying is the criminals are luring the bar patrons out of the bar, into
12:19 pm
their cars, by offering them narcotics or after parties and things of that nature, and from there the victims are knocked out and use their incapacitated faces to enter the phones and steal the cash. >> they feel there is a connection with the cases and they haven't made arrests and this is not the first time that we've seen this sort of technique used in these settings to try to take advantage of people. >> right, so notably last year, there were two deaths affiliated with these types of robberies, and now interestingly, the nypd is confirming that the newer cases are not related to those cases from last year. which tells us that this method, this technique of using facial i.d. technology to hack into people's phones and steal their funds is being used and sort of copied by different groups of criminals. >> are police saying anything to people in terms of how to protect themselves in these setting? >> yes, so authorities are advising sort of the night life basics, developing a buddy
12:20 pm

one-month-old puppy from the sidewalk, proceeded to pepper spray the puppy's owner and police are asking anyone with information to come forward. lawmakers in massachusetts are prosing a bill to allow prisoners in that state to donate organs in exchange for reduced sentencing and shorten prison sentencing from 60 days to a full year. the bill has not been scheduled for hearing yet. however, critics of the proposal say that it could be exploit tive of the prison population. at this hour, the jury is back in the courtroom as the second week of the alex murdaugh double murder trial draws to a clause. for much of the last two day, the court has heard testimony without the jury president as the judge weighed whether to admit evidence of murdaugh's financial crimes separate and apart from the charges he faces. nbc news correspondent blayne alexander is following the latest developments and joins us now. what have we heard so far today. >> reporter: what is so interesting is really the most
12:32 pm
compelling testimony has been while the jury has been out of the room because it falls under the umbrella you just described of financial crimes and the judge has yet to say how much of that evidence is going to be admitted some of the what we are really hearing, you know, the prosecution is seeking to make the case that alex murdaugh committed these murders essentially to try and garner sympathy and kind of take some of the focus away from the financial crimes. so to say that really the financial crimes speak to motive, all along the defense says it shouldn't be admitted because he hasn't been convicted of those crimes. one of the compelling pieces of testimony is the president of a bank saying that murdaugh was in deep financial debt after the murders of his wife and son and essentially he owed $4.2 million to the bank. listen to this exchange that took place earlier today about an account that mall nowski says was about 350,000 dollars overdrawn. take a look. >> after june 7th, was the first
12:33 pm
significant activity from the bank to alex to provide that 350,000 dollars off the books with no application whatsoever? >> yes, sir. >> and after june 7th, did his account run to negative 347,000 dollars. >> yes. >> and the bank kept paying. >> yes, sir. >> perhaps the most generous overdraft policy ever seen. >> reporter: that was one of the more mostable moments in the courtroom today. now since the jury was brought back in we have heard from at least two experts, one of them a ballistics expert on the stand right now, and then the other forensic expert who said that they only found trace fingerprints on the cell phone of paul murdaugh and from weapons that were taken from the property. but that wasn't enough to link those fingerprints to anybody or kind of determine any sort of identification from those trace fingerprints. we also heard the defense continuing what their strategy has been all along, which is to really kind of undermine what they say was a shoddy investigation of the crime
12:34 pm
scene, or processing of the crime scene in the first place. arguing that there should have been more processing of fingerprints when that initial crime scene was processed. >> blayne alexander, following it all for us, thank you. the police killing of a double amputee who was wielding a knife is sparking national outcry over the use of force against a person with a disability. police say anthony low stabbed a person last thursday, in a town outside los angeles. he attempted to get away from police before they shot him, and now his family wants to know why police had to kill him. nbc news correspondent niala charles joins us from the los angeles bureau. what are we learning today about what happened there and why police acted the way they did. >> reporter: well, let's start with the bystander videos posted on social media. it has been more than a week since the deadly shooting. and so far, it's the only videos that the public has seen. we must warn you, though, the video is graphic. one of them shows police confronting the double amputee, anthony, weapons drawn, he left his wheelchair, holding,
12:35 pm
appearing to hold a knife, moving away from officers. four days after the incident, police released a press release, saying that day, they received a 911 call about a stabbing. the victim said he was stabbed by a man in a wheelchair. blocks away, they say they found anthony holding a knife and attempted to detain him but low threatened him and police say officers deployed two separate tasers twice and attempted to stop them but the tasers were ineffective resulting in the fatal shooting. in the other videos you can hear the gunshots that killed low and he died at the scene. this is what the family said at the press conference thursday. very emotional. take a listen. >> what's really heart breaking is that you can tell that he was in fear for his life. you know, he had no legs. it could have been handled any other way. so i got to deal with this, you know, my son, my son, he broke down yesterday, you know, asking god, you know, can he just get

one more time, one more time with his dad? >> reporter: the family is calling for accountability here, aaron. >> what comes next here, now that the family is trying to get some answers? >> reporter: the family lawyer says there's a nearby business that captured video of the entire shooting, so they subpoenaed it, in hopes of seeing that video. the police department is holding a press conference, for the very first time monday, where they say audio and video of the incident will be released but they have yet to release the names of the involved officers. >> we'll be following on monday, for sure. niala charles for us in los angeles, thank you. let's turn now to the congressional drama playing out today on capitol hill. the house now dealing with the fallout of representative ilhan omar getting ousted from the foreign affairs committee. house speaker kevin mccarthy says omar was voted off because she made, in his words, anti-semitic comments in the past. comments that she has since apologized for. nbc's julie sirkin joins us from
12:37 pm
capitol hill. all 211 house democrats are unified behind owe moore but they're in the -- omar but they're in the minority. what is going on? >> reporter: it was a party line vote to oust omar, the congressman from minnesota, who had to flee from somalia when a little girl. the speaker could unilaterally boot off the intelligence committee but with the foreign affairs committee, had to come up with a full house vote, for the democrats giving a series of impassioned speeches on the floor. take a listen. >> there is nothing consistent with the republican party's continued attack, except for the racism and incitement of violence against women of color in this body. >> it is not a public policy debate. it's not about accountability. it's about political revenge. >> reporter: so democrats calling this hypocrisy, and i should note that congresswoman
12:38 pm
ocasio-cortez received threats by congressman paul goeser who sits on very powerful commits including the house oversight committee so they are saying this is hypocrisy for the reason omar was booted. >> following the vote, house speaker mccarthy says he is working on establishing rules for representatives on conduct. what more do we know about that? >> reporter: yes, that's exactly right. he told reporters yesterday after the vote that this is something he wants to pursue, it could be a bipartisan commission, to establish a code of conduct, to give members on both sides of the aisle the chance to appeal their convictions, if they are booted off their committees, for whatever reason, and develop a more standard guideline, by which they can go off currently, of course, there are rules, against certain conduct preventing members from treating members in a disrespectful way, but really it is pretty vague, it's not clear at this point. shy note, jeffries, the democratic leader, whether he will go along with this, but this is something mccarthy gave in recession to the three-plus republican members who at the beginning of the week said they were a no on this vote.
12:39 pm
>> thank you. a new nbc news exclusive report has found that nearly 600,000 migrants who crossed the u.s. border since march of 2021 were released into the u.s. with no immigration court dates. data obtained by nbc news also shows that thousands of those migrants have been dropped from the program that was supposed to track them once they entered. nbc news homeland security security julia ainsley joins us now, walk us through what is happening here and the complications as a result of this by immigration lawyers. >> reporter: this is a policy that started in march of 2021 for good reasons. the biden administration had a number of unaccompanied migrant children in border patrol custody for days. far longer than they should have been there. so in an effort to try to clear out this facility, and make more space, they started releasing families and adults without court dates, before they could put them into the immigration court system. the idea was to give them what was called a notice to report to
12:40 pm
an i.c.e. office, somewhere in the united states where they could eventually be given a court date and what happened as we're learning 100,000 people uh-oh released without court dates, 213,000 of them even now were ever given court dates and you can see that as a humanitarian perspective or national security person. and one person may say this is a problem and they should be charged and deported and you can see it from a humanitarian way. these people, by and large, are living in the she does. unable to work here. and many of them have missed the one year deadline that you have after crossing the border to claim asylum. they have been following the rules, many of them, showing up to i.c.e. offices, reporting as they were supposed to, checking in on apps and following all of these things but they haven't gotten to a point where they would get in a front of a judge and make a case for asylum. so a lot of these people are finding themselves in legal limbo. >> so what's the fix here? what is dhs doing.
12:41 pm
>> reporter: they say that what they're trying to do is issue charging documents as quickly as possible. that's what they said. and in a statement, i have to say, it's difficult for them, because of funding issues. and republicans are very reticent to give this administration any more money on immigration because they disagree with everything they're doing at the border, so they say, so as a result, they're not staffed to give enough of these court hearings, they don't have enough judges and they're not staffed to be able to track people before their court hearings. in fact they only funded them for about half of the population they now have on these tracking apps where they're supposed to be checking in before court hearings. so more people are being dropped and really left in the dark about what to do next. >> julie ainsley for us in dc today, thank you. coming up, the real reasons why so many of us procrastinate. and what you can do to break e man: i'm not slowing down anytime soon. and what you can do to break e cyclthe.

12:44 pm
(kids yell and giggle, a dog barks and a vase breaks) yeah, no. out with the old, in with the #1 covid-19 self test in the us. with the same technology doctors use to test for covid-19. binaxnow in today's mental health check, we are taking on procrastination, it is something that a lot of us are doing right now a lot of us are probably experiencing this. it is the desire to delay or put things off a bit. >> i think every human has done that. and a lot of times people think about procrastination as a sign of laziness of that's not the full story. experts say if you want to end procrastination, the key is to find out why you procrastinate.
12:45 pm
doctor, thanks for being with us. procrastination can be seen as a character flaw, right? but you are saying we shouldn't equate it with laziness, why? >> absolutely not. people who are just lazy, you know, they really don't have a desire to achieve something. however, that's very different than people who are procrastinating, they really want to get something done, except it's really hard for them to get through the process, and then when they procrastinate, it has a negative emotional and mental impact on their well-being and sense of self. >> so we mentioned this idea of understanding why you procrastinate. what are some of the reasons why that people procrastinate, some of the styles, if you will. >> well, the most common reason why people procrastinate is that they're perfectionists and they want everything done perfectly, and anything short of perfection, you know, it's not good enough, and therefore, it may reflect poorly on me, because they need that perfectionism, they fear people making negative judgments about
12:46 pm
them, criticizing them, and that's very similar to worriers as well. worriers are very indeceasive because perfectionists they want to make the perfect decision and therefore they will delay and delay and delay, and by delaying, they're really not achieving anything, or making any movement. now dreamers are people whoen are really procrastinating but they're just waiting to make sure that what they want is easily achievable, or, you know, they feel like they want to get something done, but is it really what i want to do? so these are people who are like, you know, existentialists and they want to make sure what they do really makes sense for them. and then you have people who just really don't want to get a job done. these are the people who are more passive/aggressive about
12:47 pm
how they approach the task because they're not the ones who really want to do it but because of obligations they have to do it. >> and sometimes people who have anxiety, they're so anxious that they just, they put it off and they don't want to deal with it. how do we end the cycle? how do we put an end to procrastinating? >> absolutely. so the very first thing, when you're feeling anxious about not getting the job done perfectly is to get a more flexible mindset. it is to zoom out of that black and white thinking that everything has to be just so, which is very, rigid, and have a more flexible idea of what is good enough. and once you're able to do that, once you're able to do that, then it is about visualizing you actually being able to complete your task. if you visualize it, then you have a better idea that it's achievable. and at the end of the day, it's about your belief system, if you feel like you can, and then you can. if you feel like you can't, you
12:48 pm
can't. >> thank. with the mental health yis sis impacting children across the country, doctors seeking new ways to provide therapy. >> one hospital in san diego is turning to music to help children deal with their trauma. here's greg letso. >> i'm a therapeutic musician. >> we're going to bounce our hand one time. >> by bringing music to the hospital. >> ready? one, two, three. >> good. >> music can be that thing that we go to when we're feeling down. >> how do you feel? everybody okay? >> it's a situation where they're dealing with a lot of emotional trauma. >> a little bit lighter. one, two, three. >> this is an inpatient psychiatric unit, it is the children's hospital and a lot of what we see are kids who are thinking about suicide or even attempted suicide. >> you listen, you take a deep breath. >> at any given point, there are about 18, 20 kids here and usually there's a wait list to get in.
12:49 pm
it's heart-breaking. absolutely, it is a mental health crisis for kids in our country. kids coming in with psychiatric emergencies, it has gone up almost 20 times over the past 12 years. more and more kids are spending time on screens, and social media, and spending less time in in-person connection, and then the pandemic hits, and it makes it much worse, you know, the whole stay away from your friends, stay away from school. and that really isolated a lot of kids, and for a lot of them, it was anxiety, and depression, was the result. >> and the numbers bear that out. nationally, kids were reporting symptoms of depression at record rates. from 2019 to 2020, the suicide rates amongst kids in california went up 20%. >> the societal problem, and i think it's time for a societal solution. >> $4.7 billion. >> with that money, california is now leading the way. announcing a plan this year to add 40,000 mental health workers to help diagnosis and treat issues early on because
12:50 pm
according to at least one national study, 60% of kids with major depression received no treatment. but doctors also say part of the solution has to begin at home. >> but if i were to give a piece of advice to parents, it's that your kids need friends. your kids need friends. they need when our daughter and her kids moved in with us... our bargain detergent couldn't keep up. turns out it's mostly water. so, we switched back to tide. one wash, stains are gone.
