His last Ditch Effort to get out of prison while he waits trial on charges that could put him behind bars the rest of his life. We begin with the Chaos And Confusion inside lebanon right now where for a second straight day more devices are exploing across the country including walkietalkies more than nine people are dead and 300 injured from the latest blast. Yesterday electronic devices used by the members of hezbollah exploded across lebanon killing at least 12 people and injuring up to 2,800. Two u. S. Officials confirm to Nbc News that israel was behind the attack. The new york times is sharing new details on yesterdays highly sophisticated Attack Reporting that israel planted, quote, small amounts of explosives in beepers that hezbollah ordered from a company based in taiwan. According to american and other officials briefed on the operation. I want to bring in national security and global Affairs Reporter dan delewis. International Correspondent Raf Sanchez is in telaviv for us and with us is political Contributor Ben rhodes, good to have you all here. What more do we know about the latest blasts in lebanon . Reporter chris, for a second day in a row we are seeing explosions tearing through lebanon, these are blasts isolated not just to beirut, the Capital City but seeing it in the south near the border with israel, seeing it in the east in a hezbollah strong hold. Yesterday it was pagers that were exploding in the hands, in the pockets, on the belts of hezbollah members. According to lebanese State Media, today it is walkietalkies that are blowing up. So this appears to be a second phase of what two u. S. Officials tell Nbc News was a vast covert israeli operation yesterday, targeting hezbollah members and targeting also its Communication Networks. Now, as you said, at this point, State Media in lebanon is saying nine people were killed today, thats on top of the 12 people killed yesterday. At least 300 people injured today on top of the 2,700 who were injured yesterday. This is a vast public Health Crisis for lebanon. It is a deep, deep Security Crisis for hezbollah. Which has found that its arch enemy, israel has penetrated its absolute most sensitive communications. But it is clear there are at least some civilians who have been caught up in this attack. At least two children were killed in the pager blasts that we saw yesterday. While The New York Times is reporting that israeli agents at some point smuggled small amounts of explosives into each of these devices what remains unclear is at what point in the Supply Chain the israelis were able to do that. Most of the beepers bear the logo of apollo gold, that is a taiwanese company but overnight the company saying they didnt make the models used in lebanon, those were produced by a company in hungary, which paid a License Fee to use that logo. We called that company earlier today, we reached a whom identified herself as the ceo. She sounded very shaken to find herself at the center of an international News Story and she was saying her company doesnt actually make the pagers they are just an intermediary. So its unclear exactly how the israelis got into these devices and thats one of the many, many questions outstanding right now. Theres no doubt about that, dan, at what point in the Supply Chain did they get explosives into these devices. Were they the Supply Chain . Thats just the beginning of all those questions. What are we hearing from the u. S. , dan . Feels a little powerless at this point. This was a surprise. This was not something the biden administration wanted to see. Theyre desperately trying to diffuse tensions, secure a ceasefire that, a deal to get the hostages released and somehow avoid what everyone is fearing, a fullblown regional allout war or direct conflict between iran and israel. And as raf was saying, this is a humiliating setback for hezbollah. This is a total collapse of their security. I think theres another audience here for israel and that is their own domestic population. I think the October 7th attack by Hamas Last year was its own shock to their system. They have great confidence in the intelligence and the military and that was a failure and that attack took them by surprise. So youve seen extraordinary assassinations of hezbollah leaders in tehran, and now this, this is irans important malice sha here. They see it as the Bull Work of their defense. Their Communications Network completely penetrated. I think the White House is trying to again appeal to all parties to exercise restraint but it doesnt look like israel has been listening to that message. Dan, thank you for that. Ben, its good to see you. Youve been involved in high level conversations around situations that are extraordinarily sensitive, probably more times than you can count during the Obama Administration what are the likely conversations that President Biden is having right now with his national Security Team and what are the key u. S. Interests . Well, you know, the u. S. Interests are trying to avoid a fullblown escalatory regional War Number one that puts at riske months of u. S. Mediation trying to get a Ceasefire Deal, the hostages released, an end to the war in gaza. And members in Syria And Iraq are at risk. Global Energy Prices could spike if we see the conflict spreading as weve seen In The Red Sea already. So the u. S. Interest has been deescalation. As recently as a few days ago, the u. S. Was sending diplomats to lebanon to urge deescalation. Sb and so israel has decided its going to try to deal these blows to hezbollah. And at the u. S. Security level the u. S. Trying to understand whats going on. How far is this going . Is this a precursor to a broader israeli operation in lebanon. Is this israelis taking shots at a bunch of hezbollah guys or is it israel trying to break the communication network, rattle hezbollah, isolate them from one another so they can launch a Military Operation into lebanon because they want to kind of move their population thats been displaced by hezbollah rockets. So i think right now in the Situation Room theyre trying to understand whats going on. Its clear that israel did not give any kind of Advance Notice of this operation to the united states. Obviously this is not the first time that israel has ignored the biden administration but let me ask you about whats going on in cairo right now. That is where Secretary Blinken is and he went to have conversations about the possibility of finally reaching a ceasefire agreement. We just heard from Kamala Harris Yesterday when she was in front of nabj, there has to be a deal On Gaza that ends the fighting, frees the hostages. What does all this mean for that goal . I have just think it makes it much more difficult. Essentially all these things are ultimately connected and i think rightly the biden administration understands that the only pathway to truly deescalate the tensions in the region is a Ceasefire Deal in gaza. Hezbollah has been firing the rockets into israel since October 7th they see themselves as part of the conflict that israel finds themselves in with hamas. So as long as the war is in gaza its difficult to deescalate the situation in lebanon. The more you militarize the conflict the more unlikely it is that hamas and the israeli government will make the types of decisions necessary to get to a ceasefire. Weve seen in the past, the u. S. Getting close to a ceasefire and coming out and saying a ceasefire and then at the last moment prime Minister Netanyahu or hamas insist on conditions that scuttle the deal. When theres this degree of regional tension i think its that much more difficult to achieve a ceasefire. At a certain point the question is is this the best way forward to continue this constant negotiation while the israeli government and hamas and everyone else seems to be running a different play. Lets talk about how this got done, this level of sophistication. Because hezbollah stopped using Smart Phones because they were worried about them being infiltrated. They switched to pagers. Yesterday they blow up. So now a lot of what they were usingwalkietalkies. What is the level of Coordination And Sophistication it takes to pull off something like this two days in a row . Yeah. There are a couple of things that jump back to me, chris. First of all, theres an incredible level of sophistication because Number One they clearly got into the Supply Chain. So clearly there was something inserted in the devices. They physically were able to manipulate these devices and know where they were going to go. So they had to have sufficiently penetrated not just a Supply Chain of where theyre buying pagers and walkietalkies but they had to penetrate the Communications Network. They needed people on the ground who knew how these things were going to be distributed. We know that israel has penetrated hezbollah before, they were able to locate officials, disrupt weapons shipments. So its not a surprise but this is another level of sophistication. The other thing that jumps out to me, oftentimes if you have the ability to penetrate the Communication Networks you listen to those communications. Its a big decision to say instead of trying to use this capacity to understand what theyre doing and understand their intentions and how the network is operating, we are going to kind of blow our own operation literally because we want to send this message and achieve this Military Aim of Setting Back hezbollah tactically. And really trying to kind of rattle them internally. So its that decision to kind of weaponize this capability that is most interesting. I think theres divisions inside the israeli government about how aggressive to be. And prime Minister Netanyahu has decided to press the envelope there. Where that leads is the big question. How does hezbollah respond, what further operations does hezbollah have in mind . It does suggest that were going to be living with Escalation Risk and degree of conflict in this part of the world for longer than the biden administration would want. Or Kamala Harris for sure. Ben rhodes thank you so much. We have some other things to talk about so ill see new a bit. Theres another huge story were watching. Less than an hour away from a critical and hotly contested decision from the Federal Reserve its likely theyll cut Interest Rates for the first time since 2020 but how much . Brian cheung is at the big board. How did we get here and the major question, whats going to happen . Luckily for you i have the fancy graphics to illustrate the story here. The Federal Reserve is the steward of the american economy they have the Interest Rates to take care of things like inflation. We did see inflation as we know from feeling it at the store, peeking at 9 in the years after the pandemic. What did the Federal Reserve do to take care of that . They wanted to take steam out of the economy by making Borrowing Costs in the form of Interest Rates higher. They did that in the aftermath of the pandemic. Inflation in blue, Interest Rates in red from the Federal Reserve. They ratcheted them up and it did the job of taking inflation down. Heres the concern now, it made unemployment tick up a little bit. You cant necessarily see it all that easily because of the spike of unemployment we saw in the pandemic almost up to 15 . Weve been seeing the Unemployment Rate Rise from 3. 5 a year ago to as of the last measure 4. 2 . The fed is saying maybe we need to lower the Interest Rates to make sure that people dont get put out of their jobs and for that reason were expecting the fed to do an Interest Rate cut today. What does it mean for consumers . It means the Interest Rates paying on your 30 year fixed mortgage rates, autoloans, Credit Cards might go down. The 2020 Interest Rates for these products, yes, they went up as the Federal Reserve raised Interest Rates and the question now, 6. 1 thats the average 30 year fixed rate thats more than 3. 5 but that could go down depending on the size of the Interest Rate cut. The question is it a Quarter Point Change or half a percentage Point Change . Chris, it seems like a Toss Up right now. Well have to find out in about 45 minutes. Brian cheung, thank you. In 90 seconds, did the Trump Campaign know the rumors about migrants eating pets in Springfield Werent true before they spread the story . Thats Coming Up right after this.

Now to new evidence that the Trump Campaign knew that are you mores about haitian immigrants eating pets in this springfield, ohio were lies almost from the start but persisted in spreading them anyway. According to the Washington Journal they knew because they were told nine days ago. Springfield City MayorBrian Heck said that is one when one of Jd Vances staffers called them asking if the rumors are true about pets being taken and eaten, i told him no, there was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. But vance tweeted it that day. And the woman who actually did report her cat missing, not eaten but missing, found the Cat Hiding in her basement days later and then actually apologized to her haitian neighbors for suggesting they were to blame but both Vance And Trump kept pushing the lies anyway. They havent stopped. This was last night. You say you have a responsibility to share what your constituents tell you, but dont you have a responsibilities to fact check them first . I think the media has a responsibility to fact check the residents of springfield not lie about it. Multiple people have come to my office, said on video, they talk about the Pet Story and thats all the american media wants to talk about. And, of course, the american media goes into springfield, dives in, harasses everybody that dares to complain about the condition of the town, thats not journalism, thats not seeking the truth. Thats bullying on a large scale. The City Manager i think i said mayor but the City Manager told a member of Jd VancesStaff It wasnt true. In any case, the result is a city is gripped by chaos where State Troopers are patrolling Elementary Schools for a second straight day and a local college suspended athletic events in response to dozens of bomb threats. Ohios Republican Governor didnt blame trump for those threats directly but made clear hes not helping. If these comments were not being made would those threats stop . Well, i dont know. I cant predict what would happen. But the statements are wrong. Ive said they were wrong. The mayor has said they were wrong. And frankly, they need to stop. I want to bring in nbcs ali vitali, traveling with the Trump Campaign. Robbie mook, former campaign for Hillary Clinton and michael steel, former rnc chairman. If they knew this wasnt true do we have an answer to why the Campaign Ran with it and is still running with it anyway . Reporter thats the question, because the call with the City Manager is not in dispute. The Vance Team did talk with the City Manager and you see the Washington Journal reporting around that now. I did get a statement from the Vance Team, a spokesperson, and ill put that up on the screen for you while i read it. They say that Senator Vance has received countless messages from residents of springfield on the disastrous effects of kairs Immigration Policies they list here a short of affordable housing, stressed public resources and declining public safety. But this is around the unfounded claim of killing pets, dogs and cats, in the Springfield Area by trump in the debate. And now we see the fallout in a town like springfield where you have officials at the state and local level trying to put this Genie Back in the bottle but the disinformation is out there at this point. Im struck this could be a conversation around policy, around housing and certainly those are the conversations that many republicans are stressing the trump Vance Team should be having as theyre trying to have a debate over the controversies in the Election Cycle. But the idea that the Vance Team and Trump Team are doubling down on the idea of rumor means it could be true or not. But the question is should national figures amplify things that they arent sure are true. Clearly were seeing the republican ticket do what its done since i started covering trump in 2015, having a moment of controversy and doubling down and continuing to say the thing. In all my years covering trump, i never heard him say i was wrong, i apologize, lets double back on this. Certainly that doesnt appear its a new strategy introduced any time soon. You see it from the former president , from his running made and they have it again there in their statement. Its true, robby, this campaign never seems to backtrack, even in situations like this. Is that because being right or wrong isnt The Point . The point is to put Donald Trump back in the middle of the national conversation . They did the right thing, somebody on his Staff Fact checked it. Exactly. If trump All Of A Sudden started tettering what he said to the truth wed be in a whole new world. This is the same guy who said you can get rid of covid Drinking Bleach and said he won the election and there was massive voter fraud, all of which is false. This is typical for him. I think youre touching on an important point, though. That is that trump i dont think he cares about the susanswer the but he doesnt want to get into the substance. This is all about ego, all about fighting, creating controversy, Anding At War against the media and the other forces he tries to conjure up. This is the only way he knows how to operate and this is a fight he likes to have. And the challenge for democrats is its hard for us to get through with our message when hes doing this. It sort of sucks up all the oxygen. As i know some republicans are saying, there is a substantive issue here on immigration and he just cant bring himself to engage in that substantive way. I have a number of what i think are substantive things to talk about. Lets start with this, michael. We know theres a psychological cost. We know people who liin that town say theyre scared. No one wants to see little kids having to go to school with State Troopers outside. Theres also a financial cost, if youre talking about the financial cost responding to the bomb threats, i think 33 as of yesterday, or the potentially longterm cost if haitians being targeted decide to leave town. There was a local ceo who said It Puzzles him, his family has owned a Business In Springfield for 100 years. It puzzles him why Jd Vance doesnt understand the value of a stable workforce. So why does someone like Jd Vance think its a good idea to push an idea thats hurting his own constituents Bottom Line and frankly local and state governments Bottom Line. Someone has to pay for the security and the response. Yeah. Send the bill to the Trump Campaign, thats what i do. The. And have the students and parents and teachers call the campaign and let them know exactly what their words have done, have cost and continue to cost that city. Make them pay the consequence for a lie they know to be a lie. Exactly what are we talking about here . Were talking about knowable facts that are ignored by a president ial candidate and his running mate. That they persist in lying to people not just in that community but around the counted about something they know is factually wrong. And yet, we still treat this as this is somehow news to be covering the fact that their continuing to perpetuate the lie. Wheres the consequence here, and i think that, you know this is just the tip, you think this is the last cup of b. S. To come out of this campaign . Get ready, buckle up, because this is not about caring for Jd Vance, caring for your constituents. Oh that is about as foreign to him as anything else thats related to solid, sound public policy. Where is the conversation . So this is The Point were at. I dont know what we expect to come next from this. And yet we continue to talk about it in covering it as if somehow these two individuals are going to, between the two of them, grow a conscious and actually say you know what, my bad. My staff called and told me, check this out and told me this was wrong. I misunderstood. Yeah, i lied. Whatever. But theyre not going to do that. I think were going to keep doing this Roller Coaster Ride with this campaign and its crazy. In lieu of that, robby, to your point, how does the Harris Campaign Message their side of this . Have you what are your thoughts about how theyve done it so far . And do you think that actually in the long run we know who Donald Trump is appealing to, we know who Jd Vance is appealing to. But do we think in the long run this is actually going to hurt them . Well, the Trump Campaign i believe has a ceiling around 46, 47 of the vote. They have to break through that to win this election. They won in 2016 because a Third Party vote share, that didnt happen in 2020 and they lost. The current trajectory theyre on isnt a winning trajectory. I think the Harris Campaign has done a great job with this, we saw on the debate she weaponized this lack of substance, the obsession with spreading lies he knows arent true. So i think shes done a good job there. I find it ironic today the president is complaining he doesnt have enough security and meanwhile, hes creating a Security Crisis in a town. These parents dont have private Security Force in the secret service. It doesnt excuse the threats made against the president and the attempt to assassinate him. All of that is completely unacceptable. Part of that youll hear the Harris Campaign say this is trumps america, hell make your communities much less safe through his lies. The Bully Pulpit will be a weapon used against the people. And this is Jd Vances own state. Hes doing this against his own constituents. So imagine what hell do when its the entire country. So michael, im going to ask you a question that deserves a one hour answer minimum and you have a minute to answer it. So sorry. There was an article in the haitian times that was so great because it makes The Point that the Back Story of what happened in Springfield Isnt unique. Quote, its very much a part of a huge familiar trend across america, the arrival of new mostly black and brown immigrants in towns and cities that are not equipped to handle the influx. If the Trump Campaign wasnt so focused on demonizing the people who have come in legally, who have jobs and are contributing to the economy of the community, what is the larger more constructive conversation about how we help these towns and cities deal with understandable, not talking about the racist part of it, understandable Growing Pains when other people come in. But the racism is a part of it. Of course it is. You didnt you Cant Set that aside. It impacts the economics, the policy, it impacts a lot of things. But here is the dirty little secret in many respects. What was going on in this town before this crazy started . Every report ive seen said that the Immigrant Community was welcome. That they were they were, you know, contributing and growing that community. That town had lost population. It had dropped from some 83,000 people down to 60 or under 60,000 people. So this influx of migrants who were there to work, hardworking, establishing businesses and working in the community, No One was complaining about that. No one was upset about that. And thats the Story Line across the country until some politician or some racist organizational group of Community People decide they want to other these folks because they dont like the fact that things arent going their way. Or the case of Donald Trump and Jd Vance, they think theyre going to get some political capital gains from it. Not in that town, by the way, not even in the state of ohio. But in other pockets of this country where they need to shore up their vote. Or they need to affirm their credentials with a base that has gone maga and racist. So this is the truth of the matter. There werent story headlines coming out of springfield before this that said, oh, you know what, america, we have a problem here in this small town. And that is what i think we really lose sight of when these moments occur is that before, folks were accepting these migrants and they were integrating and working and they were productive. Until Jd Vance and Donald Trump decide to other them. And turn their lives and the lives of that town upside down. Let me add one more fact, culture fest, which is a celebration of the diversity of this community, a vast swath of this community was excited about had to be canceled because of security concerns.

And facing the possibility he could spend the rest of his life in prison. It is a shocking reality for one of the most successful and influential people in the Music Business who helped bring hiphop into the main stream and showed how artists could take control of their careers and build a business. But prosecutors say he used that power to lead a different kind of organization. One that perpetrated violent sexual crimes, prostitution, trafficking and blackmail. He denies all charges. But if he doesnt get bail after that 3 30 hearing The New York Times reports that mr. Combs will be sent to the brooklyn jail. Julia ainsley joins me now, and legal analyst paul butler. We got a new letter to the judge from sean combs attorney. The highlights show they dont think he should go to the metropolitan Detention Center in brooklyn because of the horrific conditions and try to lay out why his case is different from others accused of sex trafficking. They say hes different from ghislaine maxwell, the accomplice to Jeffrey Epstein because she evaded detection from the media and the law before her trial and they said that diddy was different he voluntarily returned to new York City from miami knowing he would be arrested. And they gave us a Sneak Peek and what the defense will be during the trial. Its not a done deal hes going to be convicted of sex trafficking. Even though this is an extremely serious charge in the indictment they think they may be able to argue that, in fact, he was in toxic but consensual relationships with the victims that the government plans to present when they make this case that what he did engage in was Racketeering And Sex trafficking. They also dont believe he obstructed justice, another reason they say he shouldnt be detained before. They say its okay to gather witnesses and make 124 texts and Phone Calls to one person after the civil suit was filed. He has a really good defense team, i heard them yesterday. But the government has a strong case here too. What the government has on their side is video. Right now were talking about whether or not hell be detained before the trial but during the conversations were getting snippets of what might come forward during the trial and its one well watch closely. The judge denied Diddys Bail saying this crime happens behind closed doors. His attorneys argued not just the Detention Center where he would be held is dangerous, theres been a murder there, suicides in recent years. They say they have his passport, willing to pull up 50 Million bond, selling his plane so hes not a Flight Risk. What does the judge have to take into consideration here. The concern is he is a Flight Risk meaning prosecutors are concerned he night not show up for Court Date if released. Prosecutors also say hes a danger to society, pointing to violent episodes in the indictment, including sexual Assault And Arson and prosecutors are especially concerned about witness intimidation. They say that mr. Combs remains a rich and powerful man and the witnesses include Sex Workers and mr. Combs employees, prosecutors say theres a powerful differential that makes the witnesses susceptible to being intimidated by mr. Combs.

Russia has a Disinformation Campaign targeting the Harris Walz Campaign. The new Intelligence Report found thaT Russian cyber operatives have started to push Propaganda Post like these and fake videos about Kamala Harris intended to inflame political divides this is the Screen Shot of one of those videos pushing a conspiracy about second gentleman doug emhoff. Ben rhodes is back with me. Chris wray, the fbi director, has said T Russia is pushing these lies. What are the widest implications here . Its the new normal and every Election Cycle we see foreign adversaries, russia, Iran And China is there anything we can do Ant It . Is new normal is you cant run a campaign based on truth. Thats right. You have to assume that in the Dumpster Fire of the online space on Social Media that theyre going to be foreign adversaries pushing their own information, misinformation, theyre going to be pouring gasoline on the fires of things they see potentially damaging. If its russia they want to damage Kamala Harris, i dont think theres any Surprise Or Secret that they would prefer a trump victory. So thats what theyre going to be doing in the information space. Weve seen iran getting involved in terms of cyber operations. So as a campaign you have to be aware of it. I think the only thing you can do, you cant stop it. You cant build a wall around the internet. You have to call attention to it and make sure as many people are aware of what is exact and fiction and where the what is Fact And Fiction and where the information is coming from. So this public information is important. Ben rhodes, great to see you. Thanks for hanging out. Coming up new data about fatal overdoses in the u. S. Whats happening for the first time in decades .

National surveys compiled by the cdc and obtained by Npr Show a nearly 10. 6 decline, a major shift from the last several years. During the pandemic, fatal overdoses increased by double digit percentages. Joining me in studio, dr. Vin gupta, global health policy expert, and msnbc medical contributor. Bottom line is, thousands of lives are being saved, why do we think this is . Well, because part of this is awareness. Were talking about it more. We know theres a lot of elicit drugs that are laced with fentanyl on the streets. What has happened at the sate level in places like seattle that my hometown was profiled by this npr exclusive, this notion that we know theres more dangerous narcotics on the street. We have to make sure naloxone, the treatment for overdoses is in the hands of drug users. Even amongst those using the substances, they know how too look for the signs of overdoses, and administer to a friend who might be using the substance. Thats a clear reason were seeing the results. The fact is still about A Hundred Thousand people die a year from Drug Overdoses. What are the programs . Obviously naloxone is one of the initiatives that has made a difference. What are the programs and initiatives that are proving beyond that to be the most effective . We have seen for the Health Services, one example, and really investing, they have a community thats ravaged by some of these. We are targeting from a Health Equity Lens where there is need, marrying it not just with bandage approaches, lets get naloxone to people, and whats the reason we are seeing these behaviors. Theres mental Health Services that are robust. Theres frankly clinics where we can help people off ramp from a high, and thats what weve seen in places like san francisco, in seattle, in other cities that have really been riveted by this problem of high overdose deaths. Lets allow them to come off, to withdraw safely, and so this is a multimodal approach, but at the end of the day, we have made naloxone over the counter, chris. Thats a big deal. Its expensive. That Price Point is coming down. Were getting tools in the hands of people, and that is frankly serving a clear need and having a real impact. Dr. Vin gupta, always great to have you. Especially good to have you here in new york. Thank you so much for coming on. Minutes from now, we expect the fed to hand down the highly anticipated Interest Rate decision.
