Lose the election. I would just ask that. Did he lose the 2020 election . Tim, im focused on the future. That is a damning nonanswer. America, i think youve got a really clear choice of whos going Toar Honor that democracy and who is going to honor Donald Trump. That was the harris campaigns first ad after last Nights Debate highlighting j. D. Vances absurd claim that Donald Trump peacefully transferred power after the 2020 election and vances refusal to admit that trump lost. Now, if you watched the dewait Last Night, you would have seen Senator Vance try to put a gloss of respectability on the president ial campaign as trump himself appears increasingly unhinged. But that strategy to normalize the very weird and very extreme trumpvance platform, that Strategy Sort of fell apart when vance was asked about huz Running Mates failed attempt to cling to power after the 2020 election. Now, admittedly, it is hard to defend Donald Trumpsis actionsn the post2020 election period. There were a
Middle east very closely. The united states is committed to Israels Defense. We are watching developments, as i said, very carefully this morning. U. S. Officials tell Nbc News they expect this iranian response to involve more fire power. Israel is trying to push hezbollah forces north. The israeli defense Forces Spokesperson announced israel uncovered Hezbollah Tunnels in Southern Lebanon. One of the buildings that our troops raided, we found proof of this. This is a map that hezbollah planned to give its terrorists at the time of a widescale invasion of israel. It was to cover out a massacre in israels north. Joining me from jerusalem is nbcs Erin Mclaughlin. Also with is monica alba. Monica, what are you hearing from the White House . The State Department ordered all u. S. Government employees and their families to shelter in place and that this is supposed by in response to the killing of nasrallah on friday in a massive Air Strike by israel as well as previous fronts to hezbollah
Your people back into their homes, you dont escalate to deescalate. And obviously now, with the iranian retaliation, israelis are in their shelters as they go into the new years holiday weekend. Ben . Yeah. I think, you know, since October 7th, the Biden Administration has had a number of goals, one was to provide support to israel as it aims to go after hamas, but then also one of the principle goals of u. S. Diplomacy since October 7th had been avoiding deescalation into lebanon, precisely because i think there was an understanding that lebanon could be kind of the Trip Wire to this broader regional war that essentially, you know, it is one thing if there is a conflict In Gaza, that alone is destabilizing enough and is obviously brought a tremendous Human Toll and has grinded on for a full year. But the concern has always been that if israel launched a Ground Operation and significantly escalated things in lebanon that could draw iran into a conflict in a direct way as were seeing to
Wants. She is a free spirit. That danger of american government pack. I don t think any of these with good advice. A massive turnout in a big state for harrisburg i am feeling very good about pennsylvania. What you need to know about what trump is doing when he lies about a dystopian nightmare caused by immigrants. Is the justice department doing enough to save democracy from tyranny? we will not allow this nation to become a country where lot enforcement is graded as an apparatus of politics. It all starts right now. Good evening from new york. I m chris hayes. One of the weird advantages donald trump seems to enjoy in this campaign for president, a lot of americans have blocked out what it was really like living through trumps last year , particularly, at the white house. He was downplaying and mismanaging the worst public health crisis in the century and calling for cops and soldiers to dominate americans protesting police violence and racism. Then of course he lost his bid for reel
It s a great book from a great reporter. I m glad you had him on, chris. Agreed. Have a great weekend. You too. Okay, well, today started yet again with news of bomb threats in springfield, ohio. Yesterday two elementary schools, city hall, dmv and the county court facilities had to close because of bomb threats. Today two elementary schools were evacuated and a middle school had to close. Yesterday the mayor of springfield told nbc news he believes these bomb threats are directly connected to the baseless rumors spread online in the wake of viral social media posts claiming haitian migrants were abducting people s pets in springfield in order to eat them. I should note that the claims about haitian migrants eating pets in springfield are lies. There is no evidence to back up any of those claims. But that does not seem to matter.
