's measure not nearly enough to deal with the humanitarian crisis inside of gaza prior to this war about a third of palestinians were. considered to be food insecure that's only gotten worse since. all of this started there's a lot of aid in. egypt at the border of you and other groups, they have said they have storage units near the rafah crossing that are full of aid just leaving to get inside israel has said. they will continue to support and allow humanitarian aid food medicine and water not feel. though, into, gaza as. as long as that a. goes to civilians and not hamas militants if they find, out that has gone to hamas. militants were that it has been intercepted that suggests that men, their position might. change a bit but there's a desperate need for more aid. and we spoke to one. palestinian lives in gaza city he had evacuated south. with his family and he told us yes, absolutely, need humanitarian aid but at the same time. he was frustrated and some way said he didn't really wants it because he felt like by focusing so hard and talking so much about getting, aid in the international community was neglecting what he considers some of the most important conversations right now about the cause of all of this with a. knows. >> those voters who, all. the one used to stop. prohibited hoses. the. well have warm. one, holes. summers field lives sponsored. slow. so,. much >> more,. . >> really what they want to see an aide to is the concern but environment in gaza. but israel says they want to be in order to ensure what happened on october 7th, never happens again. that they must make sure that hamas has no longer any capability to operate inside of gaza. and what they have made some very clear is that the escalation of this war, and soon a ground assault into gaza. alicia? >> alison, on that last point. what is it that you are learning about israel's anticipated grown invasion? >> right now, we can hear in the distance. it is far off. but you probably won't be able to hear it. but we can hear the subtle blooms. we have seen flashes and the direction of gaza tint night. of things being struck inside of gaza, we have heard here and their artillery fire in the direction of gaza, the language from israeli military leadership as the relates of this ground assault has increased and gotten stronger in recent days, that defense minister telling combat troops who are on the border with gaza, you have seen gaza from the outside, soon you will see it from the inside. they have everything in place to launch a ground offensive when they give that final greenlight, but exactly when, they haven't said, they keep using language and have for a while that it is imminent, but i think we have seen more imminent it could be minutes, it could be hours, it could be days. we were speaking to an idf member in this area a few hours ago, and she said that they had been told three different occasions, three different nights at the ground offensive was going to start and it didn't happen, so they were not entirely sure when it would happen but they are certainly in a position to be ready for it, and the language that we are hearing, particularly in the past 48 hours is getting stronger and suggesting that aground in france of will be again soon. >> alison, thank you as always allison. president biden has vowed to do everything in this power to free the hostages in the gaza. on friday, he spoke to the two american hostages released by hamas. a mother and daughter from chicago, among the roughly 200 people taken hostage to risks ago. here is nbc news correspondent, jesse courage with reaction to the community in illinois. >> words of judith and that lays relates bringing joy to some in the chicago area. natalie former high school principal putting out a statement saying that committee is thrilled. and her father spoke lee esther day, describing what would've been sleepless days. that the remarkable news is coming just days before her 18th birthday. >> i have been waiting for this moment for a long time. for two weeks. i have not been flipping for two weeks. i spoke with my daughter earlier today and she sounds very good. she looks very good. she was very happy. and she is waiting to come home. i am going to hug her and kiss her and it's going to be the best day of my life. >> natalie's father who is julia's ex husband also says that judith apparently has apparently a minor scratch on our hands. but again, the pair appear to be in relatively good physical condition. we wait to see what it will look like in the return tonight states. back to you. >> nbc's jesse kirk, thank you jesse. let's bring in david rohde, nbc news senior executive director for national security. held by the taliban for more than seven months. david, taliban spoke with judas and dallas yesterday. i want to you to take a listen to that conversation. >> a judith. >> hello presidents. >> i'm so glad your home. not home, but i'm glad you're out. >> thank you, so very, very much. >> and that? how are you. god love. you. [inaudible] >> look, we are glad we could get you out. we've been looking on it a long time. we're gonna get them all out, got swelling. >> that sound weather dad says this is the best day of my life, the best day of his life, i could only imagine followed one of the worst days of his life. explain what the two hostages and the families are going through? >> pierre joy. it is very simple. some people say it must be strange, or a shock to emerge from that situation. and you could not be happier. in many ways it is harder on the family, and the hostages. they at least know where they are. how they're being treated whereas the families just kill themselves thinking about how the can they get president biden to do more. how can they say the right thing in a tv interview that may free their loved one. so it is unbelievable joy for these two. but there is 200 cast is, roughly who remain in captivity. >> i want to talk about the 200 people still being held hostage by hamas. he led me there. your sense of what hamas was willing to release these two hostages specifically. any plans for the remaining hostages? >> nbc's kirsten has wrote a great piece on this today. it seems that some of the negotiators talking, and they say they feel that qatar is trying to talk to hamas and tell them that the only route to avoid all out war, a full-on israeli ground invasion is to release these hostages. and it was surprising that they did release these two, i think it was a positive sign, but i think they realize thatholding 200 hospital is not the strongest position i have. th question is there is tremendous anger, understandably, in israel. 1400 people died in this attack at least 1000 of them were civilians that were killed in terrorist attacks. so the israeli public may demand a ground invasion but this does show that it seems that the political leaders of hamas, many based outside of gaza, have enough influence to get some hostages release. so the hope of negotiators is more releases, more time, and more aid into gaza and to avoid an all out war. >> david, when you talk about frustration and anger among people in israel. some members, some family members of the israeli hostages have expressed frustration with their own government for the handling of the situation. saying they are being kept in the dark. that they have to instead rely on digital clues about the situation. what do you attribute that to? >> it is normal, what happens in these situations and that family get incredibly situated. my family got frustrated with the u.s. government. i guess i would urge these families to try to show patience. it's easy again for me to say, i don't have a loved one who is kidnapped right now, but every house for house leaders i've talked to, if you're lucky enough to come home. they don't complain about the government not doing enough. they blame one party for these kidnappings. and that's the kidnapper. hamas is at fault here. he has, there is maybe a better job the israeli government can do communicating with the families. there is maybe more the american government can do. but the problem is that kidnapper. this is inexplicable, there is no reason to take 200 civilians hostage. that's a cruel and cowardly crime. i am biased given my own experience. but the pressure, and the, focus and the anger should be on hamas. >> that question was specifically about the families inside of israel. i want to make sure i also ask you about the families of the 11 americans who are still missing. they met with president biden last week. as you remember. your sense of what is going on behind the scenes in the biden administration itself so that all 11 can be brought home safely? >> i think there's tremendous efforts to work with qatar on this diplomacy. and i should say, more specifically, i'm sure that the israeli government and maybe they're sharing information, there's constant surveillance going on. they are trying to track every piece of information they can't get. cell phone signals, connection of hostages by any member of hamas and find them. they probably been divided into small groups. they're probably being held underground. i'm sure the mother and daughter was immediately interviewed about how they were held, who they were held, within where they were held. i'm also sure that hamas has moved all of the hostages that were possibly held with them to a different location. so there's a desperate effort to get information. i think both countries would try to carry out a raid if they had clear information on where the hostages were. but it will be very difficult. just lastly, hamas held a israeli soldier for five years about a decade ago. and israel was unable to follow him in gaza for five years. so that's how difficult it is to find a hostage there. >> important context. no reports suggesting they attack may have been an attempt to block the impending deal between israel and saudi arabia. your assessment of that? >> i think it was, i think there was a sense that a broader peace agreement was moving forward. and hamas wanted to derail that. and they have in many ways. i think you heard earlier in the interview with the palestinian and gaza, the sense that 75 years has gone by, it may be too late for a two state solution. i'm not an expert on the israeli palestinian conflict. but you do see that in some stage, possibly after hamas has been neutralized, possibly there's a need for more diplomacy about some sort of long term solution here. in some form. but maybe two states. i do not know. but beyond that, right now, it's a tremendous crisis. it's very dangerous. it could spread and intensify if hezbollah attacks for the north. if iran releases hezbollah. this could turn into a difficult war. it's a difficult situation. again, two hostages released without conditions? that surprised me. so maybe there's a chance for some diplomacy here. >> david rohde, our nbc news senior academic editor for national security. as always. thank you. still to come this hour, at a time of crisis abroad, a spectacular display of dysfunction in the republican-led house. the parties failed to elect a speaker, we'll see what's next. and that, one but two trump codefendants in georgia strike plead the ills, what does it mean for the former president? but first, jessica layton with the other big stories we're tracking this hour on msnbc. jessica? >> hi alicia. and thank you. a detroit synagogue board president was found dead outside her home yesterday. detroit police are investigating as a murder, but have not released a potential mortgage. the fbi tells nbc they are aware of the incident and have offered to assist a detroit apartment. police are searching for it who escaped bile being transported to a court hearing wednesday morning. 51 year old shaun williams was being held on several sexual assault and drug charges. a 7500 dollar reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest. and police in maryland found a car believed to be used by the suspect accused of killing a judge there. authorities say the suspect, 49-year-old pedro, is still on the run. he is believed to be armed and dangerous. circuit court judge, andrew wilkinson, was shot outside his home on wednesday. this is just hours after he gave the man strange wife custody of their four young children. i'm jessica layton in new york, more american voices after this! ices after this! ugh, i'll deal with this tomorrow. you won't. it's ripe in here. my eyes are watering. look how crusty this is. ugh, it's just too much. not with this. good advice. when stains and odors pile up, it's got to be tide.

( ♪♪ ) >> unfortunately jim is no longer gonna be the nominee. we have to go back to the drawing board. what history will look at is the crazy eights led by gaetz and the amount of damage they have done to this country and party, it's insurmountable. i've never seen this amount of damage done just a few people for their own personalities, for their own fear -- it's astonishing to me and we were in a very bad position as a part ks, the republican-led house of representatives has been with a speaker. more candidates are jumping and the wide open field. today, minnesota congressman tom emmer through his hat in the rink. he is one of the few republicans on the list of potential speakers, you can see it on your screen, there he look at against overturning the 2020 presidential election. republicans have until noon tomorrow to declare their candidacies for speakership. the gop conference will be monday. but at the next floor vote on a speaker at tuesday at the earliest. so, while israel and ukraine look to congress for support, inching closer towards another potential government shutdown, republicans are taking the weekend off of as molly jong-fast puts it in committee, fear that gop burning down the house. molly is with us now. she's a special correspondent for vanity fair and she hosts that fast politics podcast. molly, pull that thread for me. when you say they're burning in the house, what exactly do you mean? >> it's interesting that kevin mccarthy is saying that this all started with matt gaetz. >> yes! >> this is when we started getting into trouble with matt gaetz. i think this started when they elected donald trump. this is not about gaetz. look, gates definitely did, in the end, have this motion to vacate and did remove mccarthy as speaker. he started this group. but this is a schism that started, if you really want to get technical, it may have started with newt gingrich. but donald trump was certainly part of it. and i think that now you have this party that is really in free fall. they don't know what they are. they don't know who they believe in, they don't know what they believe in. and i think that really -- there is a significant part of this party that's completely nihilistic, that just want to burn it all down. there are the burn it all down caucus. that matt gaetz is. that. crew and veterans contrary to everything the federal government is supposed to be doing. >> it also struck me, listen to that sound, there is never cognition of his complicity and i think we keep waiting for the moment to come. it's not get there. i wonder, as you look at thought republicans putting their names in for speaker, we have the big graphic with all the minnesota's, tom emmer, one of the very few who did not vote to overturn the 2020 election, who did not carry donald trump's water on that. when you look at these two elements, jim jordan's failu, for thrice. . . , and amara's candidacy, i wonder if between the two, on that continuum, there is a framework for a future republican party that can actually move beyond -- >> that's the 10 million dollar question. that's what we're all wondering. does jim jordan's inability to become speaker mean that donald trump is diminished in that republican party? does this mean, is this a signal that the fever has broken? right? because there is no one donald trump wants more as a head of the house, speaker of the house, then jim jordan. he is a donald trump sycophant, through and through. he was involved in stop the steal. he is donald trump's guy. so the fact that he could be made speaker mains that either donald trump doesn't have the same kind of power he did in congress, which is possible, or donald trump is so distracted by his legal problems that he couldn't focus on that. and either where, you have to wonder, if you're a republican donor and donald trump is now the nominee, because you know the rest of the base, nobody else has come close to him. eight percentage points, 15 percentage points, but not anywhere near him. you have to worry, how is this guy going to run for president? >> there is also, i think it's important to underline this through line, if you can call, it of authoritarianism you've seen throughout this process. the fact republicans who go against jim jordan, the ones who directed against him pop the, not the ones who dared to go against him when it was a secret ballot and didn't have to sign for a name to it. being met with death threats. which is an everyday reality, of course, for some democrats in congress. that part of the story, whether it's happening within their caucus or within their party writ large, it says something about the moment we find ourselves in. >> yeah, i mean, again, the death threats are nothing new, right? this is trump's mo from 2016 on. if you are going to go against our guy, you're gonna get death threats. so i wouldn't say that this is a completely new phenomenon. but i would say that the people, there are not working. congressman bacon was like, so what? he really didn't care. and his wife got all these death threats and they just kept going. and it didn't change his vote. so that is a really important data point. so it's not working the way it has, previously. now, this weekend, you are seeing trump acolytes try to intimidate some tom amorous because they don't want him, because he voted against certification. what i think is worth wondering is, are they going to just keep alienating people until, i mean, how many days does this go on before it really hurt republicans keep in the house. how long do they let this go before they realize that they've just, there are just putting themselves in terrible trouble? >> your cat is trying to tell me that is time for this interview to. and but i have one more question. it's easy when you and i both understand this. our audience understands this. it's easy for all of this does not like the political games or machination -- they're a big stakes here, especially when you talk about the aid pages currently before congress. we talk about the funding deadline. but there is the question, at some, 0. 2 people in that republican congress get so tired of the shenanigans that they themselves are tossing perhaps to be a compromise candidate they get behind one of them? there's also the question of the american people looking at this and saying this is not governance. and if there are real consequences. >> yes. no. i mean, i don't understand why the american people, i think this actually really hurts them. the majority, these republicans. because they have this very slim majority already. and the idea now that they're going to, after a 20 days without a speaker, probably and certainly beat more 20 days, they're going to make this case that they're functional when they control the house, seems kind of notes. i would also say, mchenry, the protemp baker is an option. he said he didn't want. it but there would be, you, know i think democrats are sort of waiting around. there is only -- republicans have a four seat majority. and i think democrats are waiting around, and you're saying, if you want to get back to work, we are here. >> molly jong-fast, as always, thank you so much for your time. next, the former presidents legal troubles may have taken a turn for the worst. but two codefendants who struck plea deals and what that could offer prosecutors. and, more in the middle east. could the -- put the nypd and fbi are high alerts. a former agent is here to tell us what we need to know.

>> sometimes, alicia, it isn't so much the terms change but the timing does. and so as that clock ticks down and as the jury is showing up to the building to start filling out those jury questionnaires, sometimes the defendant decides, okay, this is the end of the, line i need to make a decision now. so it's hard to know if there was a different deal, or suddenly the deal look better to chesebro as the potential jurors were walking in the door. >> trump has publicly claimed his election indifference was the result of bad legal advice. how could have been his attorneys testify, then, undermined the defense? >> i think this is going to be a very helpful thing to have kenneth chesebro on the government side here. and don't forget, alicia, one really key finding that happened earlier in the week, that may have also prompted kenneth chesebro to plead guilty, was the judge in that case ruled that the attorney-client privilege would be pierced. but what is not as the crime fraud exception. that is, there was a preponderance of the evidence, that were engaged in fraud when they were communicating. so all that stuff was going to come in. and then you get the narrator, which i think could be very valuable. whenever you have a co-operator with a lot of baggage, like kenneth chesebro, that the jury might discount the testimony to some extent, testifying, to let the prosecutor what they want to hurt to save his own skin, prosecutors typically rely mostly on documents, other witnesses, records, other kinds of things. but it is so helpful to have someone on the inside, like kenneth chesebro, to be that narrator and try to put those dots together. and i think that's where it can be incredibly useful, especially in light of the defense that donald trump intends to land. kenneth chesebro can be the one to say, that's just not true. >> help me understand the timeline. chesebro and pell were supposed to be the first drunken defendants to stand trial. any sense what we know about the timing for the first -- base of defendants, do we expect him to try? together >> we really don't. but they should accelerate things because this trial was expected to last several weeks. now everybody's top it is clear. the judge doesn't have to sit through the trial. the prosecution doesn't have to sit for the trial. and so we could see the trial date get set now at some point. there will still be some time for the filing of motions, and the resolution of this motions. so i imagine that will continue for sometime. but i think with these two, not having the trial, that could move up any potential date. it and as for whether they'll open the altogether that certain is the preference of fani willis. but i imagine, we will see more peels before we return. so the number of defendants who actually go to trial might end up being only a small handful. >> barb, your fellow nbc legal analyst -- predicts they'll become witnesses in trump's federal case as well. but they have not been charged and the special counsel's investigation. talk me through your thoughts of roll on that hypothesis, and what it would be that cooperate before actually being indicted. >> i think it's a very good hypothesis. if you were the attorney for chesebro or powell, it doesn't make sense to plead guilty in one form and leave them exposed to criminal charges and another. because what they're going to do in this case in georgia's go in and testify. and they have to say, all the things they did themselves that makes him believe they're guilty, and they were part of, it and they were on the inside. that public testimony could be used against them in the federal. case i would imagine that theories will be given to jack smith, if they have not done so already, two and -- explore a pre indictment plea. and if you can get a plea before indictment, you can terms that are better. just like the terms think out in georgia, pretty good if you ask me. getting our way with probation. the reason the cup is deals as because they were the. first they got in the door and their testimony is very, very valuable. by the time you start getting up to defendant 17, defendant 18, it's not as much to have that cumulative testimony. so my guess is, they will ultimately cut deals with jack smith as well. >> are, up as we're sitting here, thinking of which of this cornucopia of legal troubles will ask you about, we knew we had to ask you that michigan. speaking of trump allies taking the stand, michigan's a. g. has dropped charges against a fit fake elector interchange for his testimony. what does that tell you about the michigan case? >> again, we're seeing a guilty plea, seeing somebody going to cooperate on to the inside. the michigan case, in many ways, is actually very simple. the charges are brought against the fake electors for a testing that they were indeed thoroughly elected electors for the state of michigan, and they cast a for donald trump. that was a lie. having someone on the inside, i think, can help understand the logistics going on. they're the one relevant question at trial, whether they intended to defraud anyone or whether they were simply casting some sort of provisional ballot and case things change so they didn't miss a deadline. i think having a cooperator on the inside can be very valuable to explaining that distinction. >> barbara mcquade, tank you as always for your time and expertise. next, violence here at home. on alert for potential attacks. frank figliuzzi joins me. plus, that potential of the cost of war. >> not only is there not enough people, there's not enough beds in the hospital. there is not enough ventilators. this is absolute carnage. s absolute carnage my frequent heartburn had me taking antacid after antacid all day long but with prilosec otc just one pill a day blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours. for one and done heartburn relief, prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. why choose between a longer life or quality of life?

>> good point. so we're obviously seeing the increased physical presence around hebrew schools, around mosques and madrasas, synagogues, that the obvious. behind the scenes, intelligence units, police departments within the fbi, are working hard to identify that threat out there. who's aspirational, who's really go and execute their threat, and boy does this involve social media platforms. and we've got to all get better at this but you know the brouhaha that spilled over into the public view over whether the fbi should even have contact with platforms like twitter. then their was courts say you shouldn't do it at all. so there is no domestic terrorism act. we have freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. all of that creates a speed bump to get into things before they happen. >> big structural issues. i've only got about 30 seconds left, but i do want you to connect the dots for us, frank, between the demonizing rhetoric and the violence that we see. >> there is no question that social media is fueling and inciting and even foreign adversaries are on social media right now, with bots and trolls, trying to put us against each other. my message to everyone is, don't fall for it, even take a break from your social media because it's all that right now for the most part. check your facts and sources, get it right, call out of hatred but you see it. block bots and trolls and others that you don't think are genuine on the air and stay safe if you're going to attend rallies and protests. understand, those are soft targets. go with friends, stay in touch with people, talk about security with your local police and place of worship. >> frank figliuzzi, as always, thanks for. and next, the voices of. war nbc's tom llamas brings us reports from the ground of the human -- and a to josh poll after why he stepped down this week after decades of seeing are -- overseeing arms sales in the middle east. that starts right here at eight pm eastern on him is nbc. s. with breztri, things changed for me. breztri gave me better breathing. starting within 5 minutes, i noticed my lung function improved. it helped improve my symptoms, and breztri was even proven to reduce flare-ups, including those that could send me to the hospital. so now i look forward to more good days. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. don't take breztri more than prescribed. breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. can't afford your medication?
