all of us know the suffering that is taking place as we speak. all of us are determined to see it end. but all of us know the imperative of standing up with our allies and partners when their security, when their democracies are threatened. >> that's secretary of state antony blinken laying out the difficult balance of standing with israel in its war against terrorists while also supporting the protection of innocent pal palestinians in gaza. it comes as an israeli rocket strike hit the largest refugee camp killing dozensens of people. we'll have the latest out of the middle east in just a moment. plus, the director of the fbi is warning that the hamas terror attacks could inspire extremists here at home, calling it the greatest threat to the united states since the height of isis. and also ahead, the white house is rejecting an israel-only aid plan from house republicans. we'll take a look at where that funding fight could be headed. good morning, and welcome to "way too early" on this wednesday, november 1st. i'm jonathan lemire. thanks for starting your day with us. and we'll begin this morning with israel intensifying attacks against lumaus. yesterday at least six air strikes hit gaza's largest refugee camp, reducing buildings to rubble and causing widespread damage in a densely populated neighborhood. palestinian health authorities say hundreds our kill or injured. israel has yet to confirm the number of civilians casualties but did confirm the strike itself and called the deaths a, quote, tragedy of war. israeli defense forces took responsibility for the attack saying they were targeting hamas infrastructure. as a result israel says dozens of terrorists had been killed including a commander they say was the architect of the october 7th terror attacks. meanwhile, elsewhere on the ground, there are reports of israeli troops clashing with hamas terrorists. this comes as israel continues to push deeper and deeper into the territory. gaza residents are also experiencing their second internet and communication blackout since israel's ground invasion began. that's according to gaza's largest telecommunication provider. now, it's not clear at this moment what is causing the current disruption. all this comes as gaza's hospital system is now on the verge of collapse. the united nations has been making pleas for more aid to be allowed into the area as supplies are running dangerously low. yesterday over 60 trucks carrying aid entered the gaza strip, marking one of the most productive days delivering relief since the conflict began. that's according to white house national security spokesperson john kirby who added this latest round of assistance is still just a fraction of what is needed inside the territory. that includes fuel, which has yet to be allowed for fear of it being misused by hamas territory. hospitals inside gaza are struggling to stay open as the amount of injured grows by the day. now, a short while ago just in the last couple of hours the raffa crossing between gaza and egypt appears to have partially opened with people in cars beginning to move through on the palestinian side. a limited evacuation of foreign nationals and those injured is expected as part of an agreement brokered by qatar. it's unclear how long the crossing will remain open. we're look at live pictures of it there. and joining us live from tel aviv is nbc news senior national correspondent jay gray. jay, let's start there with the crossing. what are we learning? >> reporter: this is a major development, something that has been worked on since the war began and basically we've seen dozens of ambulances at that border crossing preparing to gather some of those severely injured in gaza and pull them out, those that need surgery. and they'll be taken to a field hospital just across the border not tar that far from where they'll be leaving from, but these are people who desperately need surgery that can't be performed in gaza right now. so that humanitarian effort is something they have been working on for weeks here trying to see that unfold, and this is the first of what many hope will be many more trips involving those who need lifesaving surgeries. as you talked about, it does appear that we're going to see a group of foreign nationals be allowed to leave the area as well. as you know, hundreds of american foreign nationals are inside of gaza right now and have been gathering at that gate day after day looking for a way out. we don't have any idea if the americans will be among those allowed to leave today, but it is something that the state department has been working very diligently toward. they say they've been attempting to get these people out on an hourly basis day by day. this is a bit of a shift at the rafah border crossing. >> what's the very latest as to how deep they've gotten? >> reporter: well, there's no question they are expanding and advancing on the ground, and this is coming with these joint teams they say, joint combat teams that include aerial support as well as support from off the coast by the israeli navy, and they do continue just to move in increments. so they'll move a bit, setup a defensive line, and then explore and move forward. and it appears that they have gained some ground, though. it's still not clear exactly how far into gaza they may be. we know some of the strikes overnight were intended for central gaza, which would indicate that may be an area that they are moving toward. but still right now just making those as i said incremental changes in their moves. we also have been told overnight of the first casualties of idf soldiers. 11 soldiers with the israeli defense forces died during combat yesterday. again, these are the first casualties they've reported, and those soldiers between the ages of 18 and 22. so a loss for israeli forces on the ground as well. >> nbc news soon yr national correspondent jay gray, thank you for that update. we'll talk to you again soon. meanwhile here at home fbi director christopher wray testified at a senate homeland security meeting yesterday that the hamas terror attacks in israel could inspire other terror attacks including by violent extremists in the u.s. testifying alongside homeland security secretary mayorkas ray said they're already investigating from extremists including a man in houston who was studying how to build bombs and posted online about killing jewish people. >> in just the past few weeks multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against americans and the west. al-qaeda issued its most specific call to attack the united states in the last five years. isis urged its followers to target jewish communities in the united states and europe. here in the united states our most immediate concern is that violent extremists, individuals or small groups, will draw inspiration from the events in the middle east to carry out attacks against americans going about their daily lives. that includes not just homegrown violent extremists inspired by a foreign terrorist organization but also domestic violence extremists targeting jewish or muslim communities. >> joining us now the director of research, collin clark. his research focuses on domestic and transnational terrorism, international security in geopolitics. collin, thank you very much for being here this morning. let's start with the israeli strike on that refugee camp. this is not like the hospital explosion a few weeks ago. israel had said they indeed were responsible for this strike and said they were targeting hamas terrorists who were there. it appears at least dozens or maybe hundreds depending on the numbers people have been killed in this strike. what is your reaction and how it will play in the arab world? >> yeah, well, it's going to play terribly. whatever it gains tactically the israelis get from such a strike, they're losing in the information environment. and 2023 that's where most of the conflict is fought in the information environment. so the israelis know this. athey weigh the costs and benefits of such a strike. but in my opinion, you know, highly counter productive when you look at where this conflict is heading, and i think pushing more aggressively towards escalation. >> you authored a piece in "the new york times" in recent days detailing what might happen if hezbollah decides to open a second front fighting in the north and so far skirmishes. but if this becomes real violence what do you think occurs? >> look, hezbollah is the real wild card in all of this. in my opinion that's one of the reasons why you've seen such a muscular response moving military hardware and multiple strike group news into the region and trying to back channel and pass messages into iran not to escalate. you've seen the capabilities of hamas and makes hamas look like child's play. this would be a severe escalation and could go a long way into tipping into war. >> i want to get your reaction from what we heard from fbi director wray there suggesting the u.s. is more vulnerable now than a threat level higher now, what is your fear or expectation as to what we can see? >> i concur with director wray's assessment now. the communities have been talking about this since the conflict kicked off. this is major threat to the united states, and it's on both sides, right? we see people that are both in support of and against palestinians, the israelis. everybody is fired up. there's the possibility of what we call reciprocal radicalization. each side engaging the other. and so i think we're in a bad place, very real threat of violence extremists and lone actors, and we have to rely on our counter terrorism services. we have to rely on federal and locals, so we're -- we're in a bad place in the united states, and it's not going to get better anytime soon, unfortunately. >> insightful and ominous analysis from the director, collin clark. thank you for joining us this morning. still ahead here on "way too early," the first member of the trump family will take the stand today in the trump organization's $250 million civil fraud trial here in new york. we'll tell you who is expected to testify and when the former president himself plans to take the stand. plus, the white house is battling house republicans over their plan to send aid to israel. we'll explain why the biden administration opposes the gop proposal. but before we go to break, we want to express our condolences to a key member of the "way too early" family, our executive producer daniel rick lost his father earlier this week. he passed away on monday. he was a proud dad and loyal viewer and supporter of his son's work here on "way too early" and "morning joe." dan is the engine that makes this show go. our thoughts are with him and his family. we'll be right back. d his family we'll be right back. rsv is out there. for those 60 years and older protect against rsv with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. i chose arexvy. rsv?

what's their next approach? what's their plan? >> yeah, jonathan, you rightly pointed out it was an interesting start to speaker mike johnson's tenure to request these off sets, definitely playing to these conservative fiscal hawks in his base, the same people i might meng that helped engineer the ouster of kevin mccarthy as speaker. so now this leaves the white house in a position where they need to find a plan "b" if the house isn't going to provide them with what they wa they could go to the senate which is run by demoats, and i should mention where bipartisan support for ukraine aid is much stronger, and they could try and get the senate to, you know, pass something and gin the house, but the white house has yet to reveal its cards publicly on how tactically they're going to get that done with the clock ticking. >> yeah, certainly this bill a nonstarter both in the senate and in the west wing. the white house press secretary karine jean pierre also confirmed later this month president biden will meet with xi jinping. the u.s. has been working towards this meeting for quite some time. tell us what they hope to achieve. >> well, the meeting in a way is the achievement for -- in how the administration is looking at this. the president hasn't met in person with xi jinping for almost a year now. the last time they met was in november 2022. the administration is trying to get this u.s.-china relationship back on track after things were derailed by that spy balloon earlier this year. and they view this meeting as a way to set a floor underneath that relationship to make sure that, you know, despite all of the disagreements around taiwan, fentanyl trafficking, you know, the economic coercion, that they can at least have lines of communications open to discuss those issues. so if this meeting goes ahead, that in itself is the achievement, i wouldn't look for too many deliverables in this meeting other than to promise to keep talking. >> that might be enough for now. the president has focused so much on foreign affairs in recent weeks, china, obviously the situation in israel, the ongoing war in ukraine. but he's trying to tend to matters at home as well. he's got a trip planned today minnesota today with an eye on domestic matters, rural voters and americans. preview what he's going to say. >> he's going to tout these measures for rural america, broadband, et cetera that has been in his domestic achievements. but it also doubles as a political trip. he's going to be raising money on this trip. and also, look, the political dynamics there in minnesota are interesting. there's a large muslim american population and also it's the home of dean philips, the man who's challenging him in the primary. so a chance for biden to show some force there in minnesota. >> one would imagine he won't mention that congressman by name, the primary challenger, but we shall see. white house correspondent for bloomberg news, thank you for joining us this morning. and still ahead here on "way too early," our friends at cnbc will give a preview of how stock futures are doing this morning. plus, pharmacy workers at cvs and walgreens say they've reached a breaking point. what they're accusing the companies of doing that has now led to a series of walkouts nationwide. we'll be right back with that. ne we'll be right back with that. time now for business, and for that let's bring in cnbc's julianna tatelbaum who joins us as always live from london. juliana, good to see you this morning. wall street is gearing from the federal reserve's latest policy decision on interest rates after the markets closed out a truly terrible month. what can we expect from wall street today, first day of november? >> well, november historically speaking is a strong month for markets, which would come as rtnly a relief for investors long the market. as you said october was a brutal month. the tech heavy nasdaq fell nearly 3%. and if you were invested in other parts of the world, losses were even steeper. a lot will come down to the federal reserve and that is today and markets believe with a 99% certainty, there's a 99% probability the central banks will keep rates at current level. so a lot of focus will be on the guidance and how jerome powell talks about the future path of interest rates. >> one company not doing well at the moment, jet blue. shares have tumbled to a 12-year low as it heads to court to defend its acquisition of spirit airlines. tell us about it. >> this is a story we've been tracking for months, john. you and i we talked so many times about it. jet blue going for that acquisition of spirit airlines, but it's not over. they're now heading to court for this trial with the justice department alleging this transaction will increase fares for the public and decrease choice on routes. jet pluwan tested this motion. in addition to that trial going on the company also forecasts a loss for the fourth quarter when they reported results yesterday. that's why the stock has tanked to a 12-year low dropping in yesterday's trade. >> what could be turning into a major story is pharmacy stats of some of the largest drugstore chains across the country are staging a series of walkouts. >> tell us why they were doing it and what could happen next. >> this isn't the first time that we've seen pharmacy workers struggle with their working conditions. right now these walkouts are about the growing workload and lack of staff. pharmacists and pharmacy technicians say staffing levels are unsafe. they say chain pharmacies don't pay pharmacy technicians enough to retain them. that's another big issue. cvs, walgreens, rite aid and all come out recently and said they've taken measures to retain talent. the walkout has drawn support from the american pharmacist association, the industry's largest professional organization, so it could have some serious implications if we see pharmacies, you know, lacking staff because of these walkouts. >> and comes at a moment, of course, where not just cold and flu season is upon us in the u.s. but upticking covid cases as well. those drugstores administer those vaccines. thank you for joining us today live from london. we'll talk to you again tomorrow. still ahead here on "way too early," former president trump is now suing michigan's top elections official. we'll explain why. plus why senator tommy tuberville has done an about face on one of the hundreds of military promotions he's been blocking for months. we'll get into that next on "way too early".

>> well, look, i wanted to give the new speaker a chance. i've worked with mike and introduced bills with him in the past, but i do not agree with the way he is handling this. i will be following the white house and democratic leadership's recommendation to not vote for this bill. and i don't think it shows that he's reaching out and trying to pull people together working with the white house or the senate. senator mitch mcconnell is opposed to the way that this is being done. his proposal divides ukraine funding from israel funding and does not include any humanitarian aid. it is a nonstarter. and by the way does not help reduce the deficit because he's taking money away from collecting taxes from the billionaires, which is what that money was designated for. so i'm -- look, i'm going to work with republicans. i keep telling you that. but i'm very strong in what i will support and won't support, and this was a mistake as far as i'm concerned. >> sort of unanimous democratic operation to this idea. congresswoman we've been hearing and there's been lots of reporting about muslim and arab community leaders who say that the president is losing support within their communities the way he's handled the conflict in the middle east. there's a significant population of those voters in the state of michigan. you represent some of them. what are they telling you, and what would your message be to the president? >> i've heard quite a bit. i've met with all my communities nonstop for the last three weeks. you've heard me say this before. joe doesn't always agree with me, but michigan was a purple state before this happened. the arab american community is very angry at the president. i think anyone who makes light of their anger or doesn't understand what this community is feel, they began book banning there before any other city, a lot of conservative moms, very contentious school board meeting got broken up by the police chief, and arab americans at that meeting went out into the parking lot and said bring back donald trump, and that was before this happened. it needs to be taken very seriously. i'm very concerned about anti-semitism and islamaphobia that is happening in the state. people do not feel in that community that the white house cares about them, that they are listening to them. they are scared to death about being targeted, and i'm hearing the same thing, by the way, from both communities. this is a serious problem for the white house. >> certainly the alarm bells should be going off in the biden campaign from your words there. the president, though, has received some pretty high marks and receiving a political win this week after an auto rank an. agreements reached with all three of the big three. give us your reaction. >> so, i think this is a win. i think they did a great job, trying to help make sure everybody was listening or hearing what the needs were. it's a win for the workers. i think you've got some relationship rebuilding to do. this is up to the workers to ratify, but it will give them a 25% increase in pay over the life time of this contract. it eliminates the two tiers. it gives them cost of living adjustments which when those are brought in over the life time of this contract will mean that they're getting raises of over 38%. they still have the ability to strike. they eliminated the tiers. most of the things that they went in to this contract wanting will be there and quite frankly -- things that people really understand that aren't just economics, that aren't visible. the belvedere plant got saved in illinois by stellantis. quite frankly all politics is local. you also start to see people who understand these contracts, what product is going to be put into plants what will be happen on ev production. the next few weeks will be interesting. i want this to be a win. i know it's a win for the workers. i want the domestic auto industry to lead the world in innovation and technology and be competitive and sales. >> looks like a big win for the state of michigan and those workers. thank you as always for joining us this morning. >> thank you. up next here on "way too early" senator tommy tubervillle is pushing to confirm the marines second in command after months of blocking military promotions. why he's now reconsidering this particular nomination. and then, coming up on "morning joe," the very latest on the fighting between israel and hamas. plus, congressman steny hoyer will give us his take on the war as well as the fight in the house over aid to israel when he joins the conversation live in studio. also ahead, just hours from now, donald trump jr. set to become the first of the former president's children to take the witness stand in his father's civil fraud trial. we'll break down what his testimony could likely reveal. and legendary singer huey lewis will also be a guest.

"morning joe" starts right now. this is all one fight. and we have to respond in a way that recognizes that. if we start to peel off pieces of this package, they'll see that. they'll understand that we are playing whack a mole while they cooperate increasingly and pose an ever greater threat to our
