Hi there, everyone. Its now 4 00 in new york. We have major developments both here in the u. S. And abroad. In just a few hours, President Joe Biden will deliver an address to the nation from the oval office about the hamas Terror Attacks in israel that killed more than 1,400 people as well as the ongoing war in ukraine. It is his second address from the oval office since becoming president , and it is part of his push for a 100 billion aid package. Well have much more on that later in the broadcast, but we begin with the dam breaking and perhaps the most criminal prosecution of the expresident s alleged criminal enterprise, that plot to overturn the 2020 election. This morning in a courthouse in atlanta, georgia, trumps attorney, peddler of the big lie and importantly trumps codefendant Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to six Misdemeanor Counts in that sprawling rico case brought by Fulton County District Attorney fani willis. Here is that moment. How do you plead to five counts of conspi
He is not only focused on one thing. I dont know anybody thats done more to highlight and talk about the border disaster that is underway right now as we speak. I had the privilege of serving here when jeh johnson was secretary of homeland security. I have a very high opinion of jeh johnson. I think he is one of the finest Public Servants i ever met. He was asked on one occasion to define what was a crisis on the southern border. He said any time you have more than 1,000 illegal entries a day, you have a crisis. We have 10 or 11 times that every single day. In that tide of humanity thats coming across, there is a boatload of fentanyl coming to kill Tens Of Thousands of all of our constituents. There are Human Traffickers who are taking advantage of young men and young women and, frankly, predators in our own country, and they are bringing them across, not by the tens or 20s or dozens, but by the hundreds and the thousands. There are amongst that flow of people, people that wish us ill,
Than he had yesterday. We have more on that coming up in this hour. We begin in the middle east with a truly historic measure, President Biden making a first wartime visited to israel as an american president. As roughly a handful of americans remain hostages of hamas. We should note with the president there earlier today, 31 americans were killed in those hamas attacks, and 13 are estimated unaccounted for. His trip diplomatically significant. Also obviously a security test. Biden did his meetings and is now en route back safely. The will also now we just learned this basically moments ago the president will do a formal address to the nation tomorrow at 8 00 p. M. Eastern. Thats an Oval Office Address on this war. Biden also meeting with First Responders and people whose Family Members were taken hostage by who hamas. We have while the human toll hitting home after a terrible explosion at a hospital that killed hundred of people. Thats according to reports from inside gaza. An explosi
Cut deep anywhere in the world, but it cuts deeper here in israel. October 7th, which was sacred, a Sacred Jewish Holiday became the deadliest day for the jewish people since the holocaust. It has brought to the surface painful memories and scars left by millennia antisemitism and the genocide of the jewish people. The world watched then. It knew, and the world did nothing. We will not stand by and do nothing again, not today, not tomorrow, not ever. President joe bidens trip was more than what you saw, a powerful, tangible, reaffirmation of the strength and durability of the u. S. israeli alliance. It was also a pblem solving diplomatic endeavor, one that has already yielded actual tangible results. The president announced earlier that the u. S. Would provide 100 million in humanitarian assistance for palestinians in gaza and the west bank, that money goes towards things like clean water, food, hygiene support, medical care, thats according to the white house. For israels part, Prime

Demonstrations coinciding with the president s trip to israel where he said he is confident based on u. S. Intelligence that an israeli air strike was not to blame, but in the wake of the bombing a planned summit between biden and palestinian and egyptian leaders in jordan was called off. We want to begin with nbcs matt bradley who was in lebanon where protesters flooded the streets outside the u. S. Embassy in beirut. Give us the latest. Reporter hey, chris, im sorry, we just had a Power Failure here. This is what happens in lebanon. Theyre going through a fouryear economic crisis, and the power goes out regularly. This is part of the crisis thats going on in this country, and part of the reason why so many people here dont want to be dragged into another war with israel. You mentioned this Embassy Protest i was at today. We saw just the tail end
