Good day. Im Chris Jansing, live at Msnbc Headquarters in new York City. An unthinkable tragedy on every level, with communities torn apart, with the Death Toll from Hurricane Helene rising almost by the hour, the focus shifts now to the basics. Food, water, gas, power, as Tens Of Thousands plead for help that for many still hasnt come. The president says that help is on the way, but how long can people hold out . Plus, after killing Hezbollahs Leader, israel issues a stark warning to the rest of its enemies. You can run, but you cant hide. Now the u. S.

Those involved in Inscrupulous Behavior will be sought out and caught and prosecuted at levels unfortunately never seen before in our country. And now you should know it includes a lot of nonsensical caps. A couple of long words that make me wonder who wrote i

This guy marshall his whole family as part of this criminal enterprise. Right. Theres a moment where ali stares at you and goes like this like hes ringing your neck . Yes. He didnt like me. Hes an evil man. Worse than charles manson. Sometimes it looks as if houston, texas just goes on forever. Sprawling all the way to the horizon. This was also the setting of a sprawling crime. One that began on a Quiet Sunday Night with a young woman named gelareh. She went home and i told her when she got home to text me and let me show know she made it home okay. Just past 11 00 a. M. , she chatted on the phone with her friend. Were on the phone talking. Then as gelareh pulled into the
