Good day. I am jose diazbalart, in for chris jansing. Foreseeable and preventable mistakes. A brand new bipartisan report lays out Secret Service failures ahead of the attempt on Donald Trumps life in july. The errors at the heart of the report and what it means for The Agency moving forward. Plus, an unprecedented attack appears to be sparking a new phase of war. Israel launching a wave of strikes in lebanon after intercepting a missile fired at Tel Aviv in hezbollahs deepest strike yet. What the idf just said that could signal a Ground Invasion could be coming. And florida bracing for impact as helene intensifies into a hurricane. Millions of people are now under a State Of Emergency as they prepare to grapple with Lifethreatening Storm Surge, damaging winds and heavy rain. Well talk to the head of fema about how they are preparing. And we begin with new details emerging from a bipartisan report on the Security Failures that led to the first Assassination Attempt on former president Donald Trump. The findings are striking. The Secret Service was made aware of a suspicious person with a Range Finder 27 minutes prior to the shooting. And their Command Center knew two minutes before shots were fired that there was a man on the roof, which wasnt communicated to Trumps Detail. While the Secret Service has acknowledged ultimate responsibility for its failure to prevent the attack on trump at the July 13th rally in butler, pennsylvania, the interim report paints a picture of individuals deflecting blame. What we have here really is an accumulation of errors that produced a perfect storm of stunning failure. There was no Chain Of Command, no pinpointing of responsibility, which i think is at the core of these failures. Nbcs Ryan Nobles is reporting on Capitol Hill. Nbcs Ken Dilanian reporting from washington, d. C. Also joining us, jim cavanaugh, Retired Atf Special Agent In Charge, former Hostage Negotiator for atf and an msnbc contributor. So ken, what else are we learning from this report . You know, jose, its important to say the secret Service Director has already acknowledged some of these failures and he has said that agents will face disciplinary action. But this report paints a much more disturbing picture than he was willing to do the other day. It says that agents and officials who were interviewed pointed fingers, Couldnt Say who was in charge of advance planning, and didnt acknowledge how badly they mishandled this. Big picture of the report says the Secret Service didnt communicate to local Law Enforcement that they needed to secure that roof that the sniper used to fire and that the Secret Service knew it was unsecured when trump took the stage. And then because of a series of astonishing Communication Failures the Secret Service agents protecting trump did not learn key information about the threat as local police were discovering it. The report says the secret Service Leadership denied some assets requested by Trumps Detail for the Butler Rally including a Countersurveillance Team that may well have discovered the shooter before he got on that roof. And the report confirmed that local police and the Secret Service were not in radio communication. It said the Secret Service was notified, as you said, about an individual on the roof of the building two minutes before the shooter opened fire but that information was not relaid to the team protecting trump, who could have rushed him off the stage. The Secret Service had counter Drone Technology that might have spotted crooks flying his drone before the rally. But the senate investigators found that the agent in charge of that system on site really didnt know how to operate It And spent hours on the phone with Tech Support trying to get it to work. Its really a cascade of errors. The Secret Service acknowledging some of this and saying that they will work to fix some of it. And this is really one of several investigations. Were going to hear more about this in the coming weeks, jose. So ryan, how are lawmakers reacting to this . Jose, the overwhelming sense that you get from these lawmakers, both republican and democrat, is a sense of frustration. This really wasnt a resources issue. Yes, there were some technological problems. Yes, the secret Service Advance Team had asked for more support to aid them in their protection of Donald Trump. But really at the fundamental core here this was a breakdown in communication and Human Error that led to these vulnerabilities and their security posture. And its something that these senators want to see fixed immediately. Take a listen. There needs to be accountability for what happened because there were a series of failures and all of the failures could have been prevented. The buck definitely stops with the head of The Agency, the department of homeland security, Alexander Mayorkas has to take charge, clean house, replace this leadership and provide full disclosure. All of these failures we found were Human Failures. You dont fix Human Failures by giving the humans more money. You fix Human Failures by so if theres any good news that came out of this report, jose, its that this is not going to require a multibilliondollar investment to fix many of these problems that the Senate Team were able to discover over the course of their investigation. It really just means policy changes. It means a simple fix like making sure local Law Enforcement and Secret Service are on the same Radio Channel when theyre working together to protect either the President Of The United States or one of the main candidates for President Of The United States. The senators are really encouraging the Secret Service to make those changes immediately. And as you heard from these senators, if theyre unwilling to do so, maybe if they are even willing to do so, there needs to be serious changes at all levels within the Secret Service. Jose. And jim, as were showing pictures, these live pictures of the former president in Mint Hill, North Carolina where he is just starting a campaign stop focused on the economy, but that is the images that were getting live from North Carolina at this hour. Jim, and you heard what Senator Paul had to say, more Money Wont Fix Human Errors. Also what Senator Blumenthal says, the Chain Of Command is at the core of these failures. What challenges could there be in fixing all of these problems . Well, jose, its a complete structural Leadership Failure when you read this preliminary report from the senate. Its unbelievable to see that a Special Agent In Charge i mean, thats the title. I held that title. Its the highest Field Command Position in the federal service. Its the senior Executive Service of the government. For example, in the atf theres only 25 in the united states. The Special Agent In Charge is the field commander. And the Special Agent In Charge of this instance says i wasnt in charge, i was a liaison person. But the Secret Service has a structural problem here because when they come in with their detail the detail has a Special Agent In Charge. The most prestigious one of course is they call ppd, president ial protection detail, and theres a Special Agent In Charge. And hes usually the guy you see right behind the president. They often go on to be the director because they get to know the president and they get appointed later or get, you know, an appointment as the director somewhere else. But thats the Special Agent In Charge of the detail. Well, when they go into a city, pittsburgh or dallas or wherever, theres a Special Agent In Charge there. And what Secret Service is not doing is theyre not placing the commander, the Onscene Commander at the site, the Special Agent In Charge, over the joint operations center. And we learned these lessons in Law Enforcement 40 and 50 years ago. Crisis management. We did it in atf. We did it in the fbi. We got a structure for it. Its an onscene command, joint operations center. They need to have the person at the joint operations center, which would have been on site in butler, state police, local police, all their chiefs and commanders, the Special Agent In Charge there is the guy in charge. And hes getting all the information and calling the shots. And hes saying move the principal off the stage, we have a person we cant locate that has i arraignage finder. Weve got somebody on the roof, move him back. We dont have even a person doing that. We have the person supposed to be doing that saying theyre liaison. This is a really terrible failure. The service has to fix this immediately. And just to close, jose yeah, yeah, please go ahead. Just to close, i drummed into my people in all these Crisis Thirngsz we dealt with bombings, snipers, killers, we set up these joint f joint operations centers with the police. And i drummed into everybody all the time, info, flow and go. You get information, you flow Information 360 and then you do your task. And when i read this report i saw that failure everywhere. The sniper gets information, he doesnt flow It Anywhere. He sees cops running to the roof of the barn but he doesnt flow the information. He fails. Youve got to info, flow and then you go. And thats repeatedly happening in that instance. Youve got to inculcate your people with that mindset. At every level, the commanders to the Special Agents has to know that. They have to fix their structural leadership. You have to have the Special Agent In Charge. If youre not going to be in charge, then you dont get the title in charge. You have to do something else there. One thing of course is the massive series of Communication Failures you talk about. Then theres the issue, just thinking of what ken was telling us, about the fact that there was only one drone accessible to the officials there and then this person was on the phone for Tech Support for hours trying to get the drone to work . I mean, this is the kind of stuff in a way youre like this is what we all go through on a daily basis anytime you want to reach Tech Support, youre going to be on hours. But that the Secret Service would have that problem when its the security of a former President Of The United States . And youre exactly right. And the biggest then, ken and i talked about this the other day, and heres the biggest thing the senators left out of their report, but we should all understand. Crooks in butler broke the aura of impenetrable security around a Secret Service protectee. He broke the aura. And thats why we got the shooter in west palm. Because he saw oh, these guys arent impenetrable. I can do this, i can get through this. The problem is other people are seeing that too around the country, disaffected people, political terrorists. Foreign nations, iran. Theyre seeing this weakness. And when they see this weakness they think they can exploit it. And thats a bad thing for the country and this service. Theres the greatest threat i think is coming from Drone Attacks. Theyre ubiquitous in the ukraine war with explosives and firearms. And i know the service is trying to prepare for that. But im telling you, thats a great fear. But theyve got to back those perimeters up and bring in all the agents and officers you need to do it. I dont care if youve got to bring in 30 Border Patrol to secure the Golf Course at maralago. Guess what . Trumps going to play golf there next time hes down there. So get ready. And you need to secure it because weve got four months until the inauguration and its a critical, critical time for america. Those Drone Attacks you refer to in ukraine used by the russians are made in iran. Lets not forget that. Ryan nobles, Ken Dilanian, jim cavanaugh, thank you all so very much.

Tensions escalating by the Seconds Today in the Middle East as the israeli Defense Force Chief of staff tells troops that they have been striking hezbollah targets in lebanon all day to prepare the ground for, quote, possible entry. The idf now calling up two Reserve Brigades to the border as both Sides Trade serious fire. Earlier Today Israel intercepted the first Hezbollah Missile fired toward Tel Aviv in history. You can see israelis here in the north rushing to a burning home hit by Rocket Fire by the iranianbacked group. Explosions are seen in the sky from above the intersepgs of more rockets, blocked by the iron dome. I want to bring in Nbcs Matt bradley is in beirut today. Former spokesperson for the u. S. Mission to the u. N. And former Syria And Lebanon director at the White House hagar shemali. Also with us retired fourstar General And Msnbc Military Analyst Barry mccaffrey. So matt, a top Israeli Commander now saying the campaign is entering a, quote, new phase. What does that look like and how are things in beirut right now . For all of these days weve been seeing this, the better part of the past week, we havent actually seen any indication that the israelis are preparing a Ground Invasion even though theyve been Pummeling Hezbollah targets in southern lebanon. Now for the first time today weve been hearing from generals, from toplevel israelis saying to prepare for a Ground Invasion. We havent heard yet resolute word that there will be a Ground Invasion. Thats important to note. But as you mentioned, we heard from the Idf Chief of staff, and he said, as you said, theyre preparing the process of a maneuver. And he went on to say to prepare your military boots. Hes speaking to his troops here. Prepare your maneuver boots. And he said well show them what it means to face a professional, highly skilled and battleexperienced force. And he said youre coming in much stronger and far more experienced than they are. You will go in, destroy the enemy there, and decisively destroy their infrastructure. Well, the israelis have spent the past week destroying Hezbollah Infrastructure and killing and maiming hezbollah fighters. Weve seen the death toll spike. Of course last week we saw that very unusual and unprecedented incident where there were looked like thousands of pagers and walkietalkies that blew up across lebanon, especially in hezbollah strongholds in the south of the country. The Bekaa Valley in the east and the southern neighborhood of dahia here in beirut. Here in beirut as you asked, jose, the Situation Hasnt quite reached the level that it has in the south. Weve been Hearing Bombardments for the past several days increasingly frequent. Theyve been quite loud. And ive been here with some regularity for much of the past year. This has been the most frequent and the loudest that weve been hearing ever since the latest offensive, the latest round of fighting started all the way back on october 7th. It looks as though the israelis are very much preparing for a Ground Invasion. But like i said, we havent yet gotten resolute word that theyre going to be doing that. Jose . So general, as this news was developing today i was thinking back over the conversations you and i have had for the last couple of days, weeks on what a Ground Invasion would look like. And general, what the consequences of a Ground Invasion could look like. Well, look, i think at the end of the day the israelis have made an irrevocable decision, theyre going to push the Hezbollah Threat back from the border, theyre going to stop the Rocket Fire. Hezbollahs fired some 9,000 rockets and drones at israel since they initiated attacks on israel on the day after the 7 October massacre. The israelis are going to stop this one way or the other. Theyre not going to pay much attention to outside influences such as the u. S. Talking about twostate solutions. Theyre not yet ready to go in on the ground, calling up two Reserve Brigades isnt nearly enough. This will require a force of a quarter of A Million troops to actually go in and eliminate 150,000 Hezbollah Rockets and the sites. But the israelis have hit 1,600someodd targets. Theyve had a devastating impact on the Chain Of Command of hezbollah, particularly with the pagers and Walkie Booby Trap operation, wounded or killed over 3,000 hezbollah leadership. So were on the edge of an allout Ground Invasion, which would be extremely tough, not just on the civilian population but on both hezbollah and the idf. This would be a highcasualty operation. General, how quickly can one or can israel ramp up to 250,000 troops . Pretty quick. They called up 400,000someodd troops for the initial operations against gaza. They largely destroyed most of hamas along with 60 to 70 of the infrastructure in gaza. So theyve got a very active reserve force, well trained, well led. Tlal come up instantaneously. But theres an economic consequence to israel doing just that. And their equipments getting worn out and theyre expending munitions at a faster rate than they can replace them. So an allout war with hezbollah is not in israels interest. But i think theyre headed deliberately in that direction, hoping hezbollah will crack. I dont think they will. So the situation looks pretty grim. And hagar, so meanwhile, if youre, i dont know, in the biden administration, what conversations are you having and what could possibly the united states do or have any influence on . Well, the u. S. Is focused on two main points at this point in time, and the first is about theyre still focused on trying to achieve a ceasefire. And i know that sounds a little bit, you know, not on the same page as where the israeli government is for the moment or hamas for that matter. But that said, the u. S. Is still focused on trying to prepare a new proposal as Secretary Blinken said earlier today, i believe. He said there were 18 paragraphs and there were three left, that both sides hadnt come to an agreement to. That does not meani want to clarify, that theyre close to an agreement. In fact, most israelipalestinian agreements over the years, whether its Ceasefire Or Peace agreements, always boil down to the tiny 10 that remain and often dont finish across the finish line. But it would be it wouldnt be responsible of the united states not to work with its partners like Egypt And Qatar to try and bring both sides, the Israeli Side and hamas, even if theyre kicking and screaming, drag them to the table to try to reach a ceasefire. There are still hostages there, seven of whom are american, four of whom, of those are presumed to be alive. And so the u. S. Has to remain focused on that. On the other side the u. S. Remains focused on not letting this escalate. He with hear this Talking Point over and over again. Not letting this escalate to a regional fullscale regional war. But the definition of that, how that looks is a little bit unclear because arguably we are maybe not in a fullscale regional war but in a regional war. Iran is fighting this through its proxies, and its not just through hezbollah, its through hamas, its through the houthis as well. And what were seeing now i expect to last a long time. And the last point i would make about this is the israeli government actually has been saying very clearly in Plain English since the summer what their plans have been. And sometimes it doesnt really feel like washington is listening very closely. But and thats because our influence over the netanyahu government might be waning a little bit. And matt, im just thinking israel has at least in the recent times, since 1982, done two massive war you know, Ground Invasions into lebanon, which lasted decades. Thats right. And when you speak to people here in lebanon, everything we talk about now, It Always goes back in their minds, in their conversation to what happened back in 2006. And the people that ive been speaking to here say that this is worse, the bombardments they were seeing in the south at least, worse than what they saw in 2006 already, and we havent even seen a Ground Invasion yet. And the numbers are there. Were seeing there are more than 600 people who have been killed just in the past two days, since monday. To give you a sense of that, over the onemonth period of the fighting between Hezbollah And Israel back in 2006, there were a little more than 1,000 people who were killed. Most of them lebanese civilians. And that is over a 30day period. This is over a Twoday Period that weve seen already about half. So you know, this is a really, really acute memory for so many lebanese people. The way that the israelis moved in and laid waste to southern lebanon. And thats the overriding anxiety here in lebanon. Matt bradley, hagar chemali, and general mccaffrey, thank you so very much. Appreciate it.

Collides with the coast of florida. The Tallahassee Democrat Reports Helene is rapidly gaining speed. Its already causing problems in mexico. Those powerful winds could be moving in more than 125 miles an hour by the time the hurricane hits florida. Possibly as a Category 3 or even higher. Who knows . Across the panhandle in the Big Bend people are boarding up their homes and loading up on sandbags. At least 19 counties are under evacuation warnings. Helene is expected to make landfall at night. Officials say Power Outages could stop rescues until The Sun comes up. Nbcs Jesse Kirsch is on the ground in Cedar Key. Nbc Meteorologist Bill karins is with us. So jesse, how can concerned are people there and what kind of preparations are they undergoing . Yeah, jose, you might remember this is one of the areas that got hit by Hurricane Debbie over the summer. I spoke to someone who was boarding up this building. He told me that the water came to about there. That was a category 1 storm. And as you mentioned were talking about something that could be substantially bigger and stronger in hurricane helene. I can talk a look at the building here thats being boarded up, got the sandbags in place but the reality is this time around this might not be enough fortification because with the projected Storm Surge we could be having more than double the Storm Surge here in Cedar Key compared to Hurricane Debbie over the summer and that means the Water Level in this community could be over my head, feet over my head, if you can imagine that, jose. So weve seen buildings like this boarded up. We spoke with people who were Grabbing Sandbags in preparation for protecting their homes and then evacuating, and in particular i spoke with one woman who said that compared to the runup to Hurricane Debbie looking at the Storm Surge forecast and the potential damage that could be coming here she was more concerned about this storm that is forthcoming. I also spoke with someone who actually rode out debbie at home and said that hearing the wind whipping things around he said hes not taking chances moving forward with the hurricane, he is leaving town as well. And officials say you hide from the wind, you run from the water because if you get Storm Surge and youre caught in it, again, feet of water above your head, theres very little you can do in a moment like that, jose. Absolutely. So important, jesse. I thank you very much. So bill, lets go into this. Where is helene now and what are the next 30 hours going to look like . So jose, now were getting to the point we can kind of pinpoint where we think the worst of the devastation is going to be from the wirngsd the rain and the Storm Surge and those are the residents that need to rush their preparations. If youre told to evacuate, get out. It will begin to restrengthen maybe even rapidly again this evening. We do think later on tonight it will start to ramp up possibly to a category 2 and then tomorrow up to maybe a Category 3 by this time. And still possibly intensifying all the way up until landfall. This cone only shows you where the eyes going to be. Thats it. Doesnt show you how far and how wide the tropical Storm Force winds will be. But this does take it up to Tallahassee Fm Tallahassees Kind of in the bullseye for 48 hours. Near atlanta by the time The Sun comes up Friday Morning still with winds strong enough for Power Outages all the way in North Georgia and then finally by Friday Evening its weak enough that continuities going to cause many problems in tennessee. So the hurricane impacts, this is mostly the Wind Area thats going to be the worst. Tallahassee to albany, georgia, Cedar Key. This area here including the town of perry. Everywhere else has a chance for tropical storm gusts that could do minor damages with isolated Power Outages. And of course to the right of that landfall is where that 10 to 15foot Storm Surge is likely. And hopefully it will occur at low tide and not high tide. The tides only differ by two feet on the West Coast of florida. It doesnt make that much of a difference. But im sure everyone would love to take two feet off of some of these numbers. Tampa area, sarasota still five to eight feet is possible. It looks to occur more toward low tide. Hopefully its more that five to sixfoot range. But there will be water on the West Coast of florida that people havent seen and it is already pouring with Flash Flood warnings in the Southern Appalachians and thats well ahead of the storm tomorrow. Its going to pour, some areas here under a high risk, jose. This has never happened in this region. Two days in a row under a high risk of Flash Flooding. Thats when the most lives are lost when were in what we call a high risk. And were expecting over a foot of rain in the mountains here. So thats a whole other story. Besides the landfall. Yeah, bill. You know, and i know i focus on this a lot but just are all the forecast Models Kind of in agreement here . Because youre always looking for well, maybe this one, the European One is showing It A little bit. Are all the Models Kind of agreeing on this . They do and they have been and it hasnt changed. Everything is still pointing to that landfall up just south of tallahassee in the studying It A and there is no forecast, reasoning or changes. When we get the 5 00 p. M. Advisory inre from the hurrican center do not expect any change of that cone. Its going to go straight towards tallahassee. And all the residents there. Its been 150 years since tallahassees had a major hurricane. No one alive has ever seen anything like this. So thats what youre preparing for. Youre preparing for something you never experienced. Do not think this isr. Om going e like kate back in the 80s for all our friends in tallahassee. This will be a storm unfortunately that probably does more devastation to Tal Haas Heee than any storm previous on record. Bill karins, thank you very much. And joining me now is fema administrator deane chriswell. Administrator, thank you so much for being with us. Lets talk about first of all what is fema doing to prepare for areas that are most probably going to be directly affected . And im thinking the Tallahassee Area but all the way over pensacola and even huma and all wait down to even tampa, st. Pete. Yeah, jose. I think as you heard from bill were actually preparing for a multistate event. Ri you know, we know that were going to see significant impacts in that tallahassee and Big Bend area. And weve been working with the state of florida, the Emergency Management Director there, to to move resources in. Been doing that over the last few days. Were talking about Search And Rescue teams,g Hospital Assessment teams, Power Restoration teams. And this is resources that we will have staged and ready to support the State Ofea Florida with whatever impacts that they might see. But were also moving resources into georgia, into south carolina, North Carolina because we know that theyre also going to get significant rain, which could have somen, lifethreateng implications for people in those communities as well. And so what kind of im so glad that youre giving us the details of it. What kind and how much how many resources and what kinds of things are being moved in rightv now . Yeah, so theed biggest thing that were moving in is our Search And Rescue teams. Florida has several Search And Rescue teams across the state, and were moving additional urban Search And Rescue teams into the area. I dont have the exact number withn me right now but we have several that are coming in not just again for florida but also Search And Rescue teams that are staged to support georgia, nort carolina, south carolina. Were moving the Army Corps of engineers and their Pouft Restoration teams, theyre going to be on standby, theyre going to be able to go right in afterwards, as soon as its safe to do so to help us make sure we can either put generators on critical facilities or help support any of the Power Restoration efforts they have. One of our biggest partners is also the american red cross. I dont want to leaven them ou. They have brought in hundreds of personnel to make sure that theyre supporting the evacuation and the sheltering needs that these communities might have. You know, ive got to tell you something, in my experience over these lasts is so important because they actually get to almost immediately they get to areas that maybe other folks dont get to and even just thinking, administrator, on the communities that sometimes have a little bit of concern over the government coming in to help, when they see the red cross they know that theyre safe and that they can go there and its such an important role. I cant thank you enough for being here there are so much things pulling all of you just the fact that the resources that you all people are still accepting Emergency Fund applications, fema ais, from hurricane debbi. Howe stretched are you . So we have enough resources to support this. And what we need to do, and what we do after every event like y debbie, and as we prepare for this, you know, we look at where we can readjudicate some of the resources we have and move them into the area. The interesting thing is its the lifesaving resources that were moving in now. And for something like debbie were in the Recovery Phase and its our Recovery Resources that are supporting that. All of our response resources, theyre ready, theyre postured, theyre going to be able to go in and supportr any of these communities across multiple states that might be impacted by the storm. And then well bring in our recovery teams. We have teams that also go Door To door. We partner with the american red cross. Such a greatam partner. To make sure we know whos been the most impacted. And its always great to remember, itss good to have people that habla espanol in there too. Deanne criswell, thank you very much. Thanks, jose.

Right now former President Trump is speaking to supporters at a rally in Mint Hill, North Carolina, just about a 20minute Drive East of charlotte. Recently trump has stayed silent on the republican gubernatorial candidate he previously endorsed, mark robinson, and his scandal thats rocking the North Carolina republican party. Democrats are making sure robinsons alleged antisemitic and racist comments on a porn Websites Message Board from a decade ago will be remembered, putting up four billboards on major highways in the Mint Hill area. Robinson continues to deny the allegations. Nbcs Garrett Haake is following this for us. Garrett, what has the former president been saying about this today . Well, nothing about mark robinson, jose. In fact, he made a point to shout out several people running for congressional seats in the area where he is in North Carolina and notably didnt mentiOn Robinsons name. He has outrun republican candidates for governor in beth of the last two elections where you had democrats win the Governors Race in North Carolina. Donald trump himself winning the president ial race in that state. So the possibility that he could go one Way And Robinson could go another is there, although if the bottom falls out On Robinson entirely that might be another story. In fact, this Event Today ostensibly focused on the Economy And Manufacturing had some news at the top from trump not about either of those topics but about iran which he speculated, kind of floated for the first time i heard him do it, that iran might somehow have been involved in the two Assassination Attempts against him this year. Something for which theres been no evidence. But he also talked about the fact that he knows he is being targeted by iran and what he thinks the current occupant of the White House should do about it. Listen to this. I have been threatened very directly, and i appreciate the agencies that weve been meeting with. But weve been threatened very directly by iran. And i think you have to let them know, because the best way to do it is through the office of the president , that you do any attacks on former president s or candidates for president your country gets blown to smithereens. So jose, obviously hes sort of adding all little bit to what has been a tense situation here geopolitically with iran, the Middle East, the possible targeting of Donald Trump and other officials both in this administration and the last administration by iranians. No comment that im aware of from the White House on that particular call for trump there to have bidens backing to threaten iran should anything happen to him. Garrett haake, thank you so very much. Appreciate it. Meanwhile, in springfield, ohio The Leader of a haitian nonprofit Community Group has just filed criminal charges against former President Trump and senator j. D. Vance. They stem from these false claims about haitian immigrants eating peoples pets in springfield. Msnbc legal correspondent Lisa Rubin is with us this afternoon. Lisa, great seeing you. So what exactly are these charges . Well, jose, lets start with the fact that theyre not quite charges yet. What it is is a civil affidavit under an Ohio Law that allows private citizens to make complaints about alleged criminal violations. And here this leader of the haitian group that you just noted has alleged that there are seven different crimes that have been committed by j. D. Vance and Donald Trump in making these allegations about the haitian migrants in springfield, ohio. Theyve submitted it to a municipal court in Clark County, ohio and that judge has two options before him. One, either issue warrants for their arrest or refer it for prosecution to the Clark County prosecutor. So its an Affidavit Complaint that is filed in the Court System but it could certainly have repercussions. It definitely could have repercussions. And jose, today i spoke with Clark County Ohio Prosecutor dan driscoll, who didnt want to comment on the allegations lest this be referred to him for further investigation. He did not want to prejudice that investigation by making any public comment. That goes to your point, that this could materialize into something serious if it is referred to prosecution by the municipal judge. Jose . Lisa rubin, thank you so very much. Always appreciate it. And just a couple of hours from now the house is set to vote on a shortterm Spending Bill to avert a Government Shutdown. Well have the latest from Capitol Hill next.

Hours from now, the house will begin voting on a shortterm Spending Bill that will keep federal funding flowing until the 20th of december. Ali vitali is reporting from Capitol Hill. This legislation already got some opposition from hard liners within johnsons own party. Where do things stand here . Reporter im always happy to be on with you, whatever time of Day Youll have me. Ill always check my schedule. Keep it open for you, my friend. Here in congress, its a rare moment where we see that things are moving in the right direction and theyre doing It Ahead of deadlines. You talk about a schedule, all of these members want to get out of here and back home to their districts because theyre leaving congress until after the election now. Once they finish with government funding, they are out the Door To campaign to keep their own seats. On the House Side of the building, we saw them move up the time of the vote from 5 30 to around 4 30. Again, they are eager to hit the road. What were seeing in terms of the actual way theyre avoiding a Government Shutdown is theyre not doing it in the preferred mertd of conservatives or even themselves. They had to come back to the Drawing Board with a bipartisan solution. That funds the government until december 20th. Many of us are in fear of what that could mean for holiday plans. Thats a plan for after the election. Theyre also doing it without the save act, the election integrity, that the republicans and president were so aggressive about trying to keep in, but ultimately were a Poison Pill that had to be taken out. The way theyre doing this will require democrats to not only be on board but provide the bulk of the votes and Thats Something that Hakeem Jeffries when i spoke to him this morning was keenly aware of. Watch. What is in front of us at the moment is a bipartisan, continuing resolution to keep the government open, meet the needs of the american people. This is not a complicated thing at this moment in time. The problem is that extreme maga republicans in the house have broken their own agreement, which, by the way, was an agreement that they demanded we enter into in order to avoid a catastrophic default on our nations debt. Reporter the house votes around 4 30. We expect it to pass. Then of course the senate can take up to two hours of debate. The government will be funded. I think this is the first time they have done that ahead of schedule. Elections can be very motivating as you and i both know. Ali vitali, thank you so much, great seeing you my friend. You too.
