we've got brand new audio. the former president in his own words, what he claims he said. and if you're traveling for the busy thanksgiving weekend, well, psych yourself up, more than 55 million americans expected to be on the move in coming days. one of the busiest holiday weekends in the past 20 years. we're live at the airport with more on what to expect. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments and we begin with that new footage from the israeli military as it searches gaza's main hospital. nbc's raf sanchez joins us from tel aviv. what do we know about what this footage shows and what we're not sure it does. >> so, chris, this new footage shows a senior commander at the al-shifa hospital standing over what israel says is the opening of a hamas tunnel shaft that runs underneath the facility which is gaza's biggest hospital. nbc news cannot confirm that this is, indeed, a hamas tunnel. we can say, because we've geo located it that this video was shot on the grounds of the al shifa complex. and israel has been releasing a steady stream of these videos now after initially coming under a pretty intense global criticism, one, for raiding the hospital while patients and displaced people were sheltering inside, and for ultimately turning up that first day, sparse evidence of the presence of militants they found. assault rifles, bullets, some grenades, but nothing so far that points to what israel and the u.s. are both saying is a hamas command center underneath al shifa. the israeli military has also in the last day said it has found the bodies of two hostages in a building adjacent to al shifa. one is a 19-year-old israeli soldier. the other, a 65-year-old woman who was kidnapped from a kibbutz in the south of israel on october 7th. her husband was murdered during that same attack. meanwhile, inside of gaza, palestinian civilians have been fleeing south for weeks heading for the relative safety, but today people have been getting leaflets dropped from the air by the israeli military telling them to evacuate that area because israel is planning to carry out operations in the south also, which, chris, just really underscores the deep, deep dilemma facing palestinian parents right now, trying to keep their children safe in gaza. where do you go when nowhere is safe? the only good news we're getting out of gaza right now is officials at the rafah border crossing are saying diesel trucks are crossing over, carrying fuel, which is destined for palestinian telecommunications companies, which last night said that they were forced to shut down their phone and internet service because they had simply run out of fuel. we are occasionally to reach people inside of gaza, either by phone or over the internet. but for the most part, it is a near communications blackout. here in israel, the families of israeli hostages are marching from tel aviv to jerusalem. they're expected to reach jerusalem tomorrow, and they say when they get there, they are going to demand answers from the israeli government about these back channel negotiations that we know are going on between israel and hamas, over the fate of the hostages. these families say they want to know what's happening, and they want to know that the israeli government is doing everything they can to bring their loved ones home, chris. >> raf sanchez, thank you. the israeli military not only conducting searches at hospitals in gaza but also in the occupied west bank. nbc's matt bradley is in beirut for us. there are images from a hospital there of medics, as i understand it, walking out with their hands up. what happened there? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, this is part of a raid that's been going on the better part of the last 24 hours. this was in the early part of the day. a raid from the city of janine, not just that hospital. this is becoming kind of a tale of two hospitals. you've got al shifa hospital where there's this controversial israeli attack against the hospital, which raises all sorts of questions about international law. now we're seeing a similar thing, much less violent, much less death, and not part of the same scale of an attack like is going on in the gaza strip, but still, we're seeing this, an attack on a hospital, medics according to some aid groups, medics were asked to be searched and ambulances were searched. this is something that, again, raises questions of international law. hospitals, medics, ambulances, they're all thought to be out of bounds when it comes to armed conflict. it's not just questions of international law. we're talking about the possibility of the west bank where violence has been soaring ever since october 7th could get drawn into the conflict, not just in the way we're seeing in the past couple of weeks. a full on that we have seen twice before. it would really complicate the whole situation for just about everybody. there's a lot of people in the west bank, a lot of militant groups, according to the idf, and hamas. they were fighters who were attacking, you know, israeli defense forces troops, and that they retreated to the hospital, and that's when the israelis went in and tried to raid this hospital. again, janine hasn't been a hot spot since october 7th since the hamas terror attack started. this has been a hot spot for the better part of the past year. we have started to see a lot of violence in the west bank. it's not just about the hospital. it's about the potential that this could start another fresh fight in an entirely new location, chris. >> matt bradley, thank you. now to the brand new audio of donald trump talking about his interactions with secret service on january 6th. nbc justice reporter, ryan reilly is following this story, author of the new book, sedition hunters, how january 6th broke the justice system. walk us through the audio nbc news contained, and what's the significance here. >> this is all a really important audio, it speaks to donald trump's influence on the crowd and what he knew about how he could actually impact the crowd at the capitol on january 6th itself. and, you know, he obviously put out that video hours after the attack went by, crawling the group very special. telling him to remember this day forever. in this discussion with jonathan, here, take a listen. he gets into the power that he thought he had over the crowd. >> if you look at the real size of that crowd, it was never reported correctly. it's the biggest crowd i've ever spenn front of by far. that went back to the wasngton n monument. >> you told them you were going to go upo the capitol? >> i was going to and the secret service said you can't, and then by the time i would have, and then when i got back -- i wanted to go back. i was thinking about going back during the problem to stop the problem, doing it myself. secret service didn't like that idea too much. i could have don that, and you know what, i wldave been very well received. don't foet, the people that went toashington that day in my opinion, they went because they thought the election was rigged. that's why they went. >> so this really goes to what cassidy hutchinson testified about before the january 6th committee, speaking about this can idea that donald trump wanted to go by. and in fact, what she heard from a member of the secret service that trump grabbed the driver of the car. he's sort of confirming he did want to go down to the capitol that day, and talk about even going afterwards to bring an end to the violence. it speaks to this notion that could come up in the trial set to start in march that he knew he had power over the crowd, despite not really doing too much while sitting out for the critical moments while he was at the white house, while this brutal attack was happening at the capitol. >> ryan reilly, thank you. a wildly busy holiday travel week is ahead, projected to be way up over last year, and actually it's already gotten started. george solis joins us from the airport in philadelphia. i'm hoping things aren't too bad yet, but we know they're going to get crazy. >> that's right. it's sort of the beauty of working remotely. people can begin their extended stay over the vacation for the holiday getting away. they can stay later. this is an assignment that makes me hungry. we talk about travelers going to their families, and what they're going to cook. people really on team sides this year. more than the actual turkey. more on that a little bit later. bottom line here, the story at the airport seems to be pre-check right now. 17 million americans registered for pre-check. i have to tell you, it makes a huge difference at airports. here at philadelphia international, the pre-check line, four to six minutes. it's been as high as half an hour when we start seeing some of the incoming and departing flights. 55 million americans expected to travel. the bulk driving. that's about a 2.3 increase from last year, and the highest forecast since01 a number of records expected to be broken. the tsa expecting to screen about 30 million passengers starting today. and that is because people are leaving earlier because they can work remotely. earlier we caught up with travelers aside from asking them what their performance is about the benefits of pre-check. here's what they told me. >> get here early. don't wait until the last minute. register for tsa well in advance. >> it just removes a lot of the stress of travel. >> it's a lot easier. >> makes me feel better about what time we need to get to the airport and all that. >> the big picture for travel is pretty good. car rentals are down. gas, actually cheaper, about $0.40 cheaper than it was this time last year. before i go, i have been asking people, i have to ask you, are you more of a turkey or sides person? >> i love it all, and i'm going to eat it all. bread, mashed potatoes, all the sides, turkey, lots of gravy. thank you, george solis. >> lots of grave. about four, five, six more days. coming up, why osama bin laden's letter to america is going viral 22 years after the september 11th attacks. we're back in 60 seconds.

get the bank of america customized cash rewards card, choose the online shopping category and earn 3% cash back. a 21-year-old letter has resurfaced and created such an uproar that the social media platform tiktok is taking action. it was written by the master mind of the 9/11 attacks. osama bin laden, it's known as his letter to america. it's been sparking a wave of viral videos from young people, many of them not even alive on 9/11. >> i need you to stop what you're doing and go read a letter to america. >> the way this letter is going viral right now is giving me the greatest sense of relief. >> well, the letter is getting new attention in light of the israel-hamas war. in it bin laden criticizes the u.s. for its support of israel and its position toward the palestinian territories. it also spreads anti-semitic and homophobic rhetoric. tiktok is stripping letter to america from its search function. joining me now, jake ward, and msnbc analyst, frank figliuzzi joins us. jake, first, how did this letter go viral to begin with, and how did it spread so fast? >> it seems, chris, that this 21-year-old letter came back to life thanks in part to a post on x from a journalist who essentially posted a compilation of a handful of people on tiktok who had been posting about this letter. at that time, there wasn't an enormous amount of traction. from there, huge traction began, and in just the four days between monday and thursday this month, we saw the searches for bin laden and references to him on x, increased by about 4,000%. we saw searches on you tube go up by about 400%, and across tiktok, millions of views have been racked up by a handful of videos. as you mentioned, tiktok has taken it down. all the major platforms have a pretty clear policy on not allowing content that glorifies terrorism, and this certainly falls dead smack in the middle of that. as people have begun posting reaction videos in some ways, condemning the original videos and also editing in snippets of them. they have remained alive. and so at this hour, it is easy to find this rhetoric ongoing on tiktok, in spite of its efforts to take it down. >> with so many people sharing this letter, how does the fbi, how do other government agencies monitor what could or probably won't develop into a real threat. how do they determine which way this might go? >> well, the short answer is with great difficulty. we don't have a government that is big brother monitoring everybody's interactions and postings and what they're downloading. but they are concerned that american young people seem to be getting history lessons off of tiktok, and from osama bin laden and his language that lives on, and you'll remember the big brew ha ha over the so called, you know, fbi twitter gate, the notion that now the fbi should not be communicating or working with social media platforms to try and point out what's happening. so that's kind of been put on hold, and i'll note to viewers, tiktok is china controlled. now, they claim they're privately and independently owned by a company called bytedance. the reality is there's no such thing as privately and independently owned because the chinese government has right of first refusal telling their companies what to do, and woe be unto them, any chinese company that doesn't follow instructions. china is very happy to kind of poison our young people. if you go to china, and look at their tiktok, they put limits on it for their young people. anyone under 18 is limited only to a youth version of tiktok and limited to only 40 minutes a day. but not us, they're giving us our history lessons. >> it's czy how fast things can go in this day and age, right, and "the washington post" interviewed a specialist, an islamist militant af and he said he was frankly quite surprised at the respoeo the letter. he described it as a kinof core doctrinal test of al qaeda and the islamic state terrorist group. he said it's not the letter that's going viral. it's a selective reading of parts of the letter. is that what you think is going on here. why do you think it's caught on in this way? >> is that for me, chris? >> yeah, i'm sorry, frank. >> yeah, sure. look, so absolutely true. the portions of the disturbing portions of bin laden's letter, that actually call for genocide of noncombatants. in fact, specifically, he says we should be killing anyone who supports democracy. right? that's being left out, conveniently or not from what young people are spreading around to each other. so we've lost control of social media. it is what's fanning and fueling flames of terrorism, bad misinformation, conspiracy theories and now we're in an environment and have been now for several years where everybody's willing to accept what's being spoon-fed into them without doing any homework themselves, and the extremist sides of issues, right, this was a complex issue, the palestinian issue, the israeli hamas thing, all extremely nuanced, layered, you've got to figure it out yourself. but yet we've seen so poised and primed to grab anything that's a simple solution. this is bad, that's good. i'll point to the simple solution. i'll take whatever i'm told is good. >> frank figliuzzi, and jake ward, thank you so much. the federal government is now offering colleges and universities expert help in combatting anti-semitism and islamophobia which have been on the rise since the october 11th attack on israel. campuses have been roiled by pro israel and palestinian protests, the education department is investigating islam phobic incidents at half a dozen colleges and universities. julie ainsley is covering this story for us. what is the federal government doing to get involved? >> it's escalating across the lo -- a lot of colleges including elite colleges. they can't infringe on free speech. the department of education is using the title 6 authority. i spoke to officials from cisa inside dhs who says they are offering free services to campuses to try to help them prepare and come up with security plans should things turn even more violent. and i've recently went and spent time with students, jewish and muslims on the university of connecticut, to get their take and experience firsthand of what they're experiencing. >> reporter: at the university of connecticut, jewish students say they have seen anti-semitic flyers which administrators took down. jewish student groups now training students for extra security. what do you think people should know about what it's like to be a jewish college student in america right now? >> it's scary. you know, it's very hard, i think. >> reporter: yana is a junior. >> i hide my star of david just because, you know, i feel more secure that way. >> reporter: while members of pro palestinian groups at uconn are also worried. lena says she received this threatening voice mail. >> you're supporting baby killers, people who rape grandmas, i can't wait to see you dead. how did you feel? >> it makes you feel what else are they capable of doing if they're going out of the way to get your number. >> reporter: the school unequivocally condemns islamophobia, as it condemns anti-semitism. cisa is offering to put stronger security plans in place. >> we have seen an uptick in requests for our support. >> do you have enough people to do this work. >> the demand is going to outstrip the supply. >> yeshiva university among the colleges speaking out. >> this is a scary time certainly on college campuses. >> you can see it's a tough time here. the biden administration has to decide how they get involved, and we saw just last night, the governor of connecticut met with 40 schools to talk about their security plans, and he included people from the justice department in that conversation to see what they can do about hate speech and also to try to keep things from escalating into more violence, chris. it's a tough time to be a college administrator, let alone a college student right now. >> julia ainsley, thank you for your reporting. what happens now after a jury could not agree on a verdict for a kentucky officer charged with violating the civil rights of breonna taylor. and hunter biden interviewed by the special counsel. we'll tell you why later in the hour. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. y on msnc rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94% effective in those with these health conditions.

hankinson was accused of using excessive force when he fire ten shots into the apartment. some flew in the neighbor's apartment. with me now msnbc legal analyst, charles coleman, former brooklyn prosecutor. and former criminal defense attorney, rutgers law professor, and former federal prosecutor. good to see you all. rocco, let me start with that. federal prosecutors could decide to retry brett hankin son. what will they take into consideration when they make that decision? >> they're going to take into consideration, chris, and i have been there, i have had a federal civil rights trial. they're going to look at a number of factors. obviously, what is the likelihood they could get a conviction out of their case, going in the last time. these are resources. there's a lot of time and money that goes into these, not to mention the emotion that goes in for the families on both sides of the equation. they're going to look at that and decide, do we think we can get a conviction the second time. is it worst the input or the squeeze, so to speak? >> as i said, no officer has been convicted for their actions in the death of breonna taylor. she had done absolutely nothing wrong. she ended up dead. should the fact that there has been no one convicted in this case, play into prosecutors' decisions, and what message should that decision send to the community? >> chris, i think that inevitably it has to play into the narrative that prosecutors are thinking about. ultimately prosecutors are going to make the decision in terms of what the facts say as compared to the law. when you're talking about retrying this case, if you walk away from this, what you are essentially saying is that breonna taylor's life was not worth fighting for a second time. and i want us to back up for a moment just to set the stage here. recall, chris, this is the same police department that federal investigators from the doj found a pattern of discrimination and problematic behavior by their officers that was widespread, not just that, but the investigation also found that louisville officers in this case basically acted illegally to try and conspire to get the warrant that ultimately would lead to breonna taylor's death. when you factor those things in, for prosecutors not to go after this again, to secure a conviction, about their commitment to justice, as well as the protection of black lives. >> charles, what would your questions be if you could talk to those jurors? what do you think the possible points of disagreement are in this case? >> it's a matter of the question of reasonable doubt in terms of intent. i think that that's part of what we're talking about, but that's also why you can't ignore how we even got here. when you're talking about a search warrant which was erroneously and wrongfully and illegally obtained, all of those factors set the stage for something taking place that should never have actually happened, and so the question as far as the jury is concerned is likely going to be what would you need to have established in order for you to understand that this officer used an excessive amount of force under the circumstances and that excessive amount of force caused the death of breonna taylor. >> two other former officers are expected to stand trial in 2024 on similar charges. what will you be looking for in those cases? >> i think the issue there, and charles touched on this a moment ago is the fact that the underlying warrant, the officers who put that forth knowingly falsified the warrant to establish a probable cause to get into the house. i agree, that's where it all starts. the difficulty for hankinson's prosecutors is did he know that, was he aware of that or justified in using force in what he did at the time. in the other cases, i think it's going to be an easier time for the prosecution, they clearly lied with respect to putting that information before a judge to justify that property, they should have never been there, that's where the crux of the problem started. the officers arrived in getting the warrant. >> on the friday before a holiday, charles, rocco, i appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. thank you so much, happy holidays. what george santos called his year from hell just got worse this morning. what's next in the push to expel him from the white house. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. ing "chrg reports" only on msnbc [trumpet music plays] 579 breaths to show 'em your stuff. every breath matters. don't like rsv take your breath away. protect yourself from rsv... ...with abrysvo, pfizer's rsv vaccine. abrysvo is a vaccine for the prevention of lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious if you are 60 or older. having asthma, copd, diabetes, or heart disease puts you at even higher risk. abrysvo is not for everyone and may not protect all who receive the vaccine. don't get abrysvo if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its ingredients. people with a weakened immune system may have a decreased response to abrysvo. the most common side effects are tiredness, headache, pain at the injection site, and muscle pain. ask your pharmacist or doctor about pfizer's rsv vaccine, abrysvo. visit these retailers or find other retailers near you at abrysvo.com.

>> well, there's a lot of conversation you'll remember when we first started learning all of these things about george santos is why they weren't moving to get rid of him right away. it was the precedent. you don't necessarily want to set a precedent where allegations are removing people. the republican leaders are handling it well, allowing the ethics committee to do what it needs to do to have some level of due process, and i think at this point it's completely within bounds to remove him. now, let's not pretend this is the first person who has been shown the door because of ethics trouble. it might have been the speaker's office, there were numerous members who had to resign because of ethics troubles and they didn't necessarily get convicted of anything. but they saw what was happening. they saw the writing on the wall, and they did the right thing. i think that's what johnson's statement was saying. he said, to all parties involved, i hope they think about this. parties involved are george santos. it's bad for the institution to have to go to that point of having the vote. he's hoping that he steps down. problem is we're dealing with an unhinged character here, no telling what he may be thinking or wanting to do. i think there's plenty of evidence here, and members will now come together, and remove him and finally end this really sad story. >> i think that's an incredible understatement having reread this report this morning. it's shocking, the allegations that are in there, and the proof that they have come to. it was unanimous. so this is all the republicans, all the democrats voted that they thought this had to be released. they wanted him to be expelled. if the house doesn't expel him, is that in some way a rejection of all the work done by the ethics committee. and frankly, under a lot of pressure. >> i don't expect that they will. if they do, it will come down to pure politics. it will be the house has a four-seat margin. there will be enough members who think we can't do with the vote or giving in to the left or the mainstream or whatever it is. there will be a vein of that. marjorie taylor greene has expressed some of that. i don't think it's going to hold up. as you read, george santos is trying to play the victim card. donald trump, they're coming after me because they want to come after you, but nobody is buying it. this is a person who never really had friends in congress. hadn't been around very long. he's an embarrassment to all of his colleagues. they're tired of answering questions about him. >> rarely a day goes by when i can't imagine you aren't glad no longer to be an aide to speaker of the house. ali vitali, you're stuck there, never sleeping. >> thank you very much. >> have a happy thanksgiving both of you, if i don't talk to you now and then. the special counsel investigating president joe biden's handling of classified documents, they have now interviewed biden's son hunter. that's according to a source familiar with the matter. nbc's monica alba is covering that story for us. this is not related as i understand it to hunter biden's own case. what connection does he have to the classified documents investigation? >> exactly, chris, we're talking about several investigations here. the one that is looking into the handling of classified documents from when joe biden was vice president and the time after that is what we're talking about here in terms of the context. that is special counsel robert hur's investigation, remember, he was appointed in january of this year. it's been about 11 months, we can understand and report that as a part of that, the special counsel did interview hunter biden for that, along with other people as he would in the course of this investigation, including the president, who sat down for two days of interviews as a part of that in october. now, the reason for why he may have wanted to sit down with hunter biden, we understand, is that there was a time frame while all of this was taking place in terms of the classified materials that were located at president biden's wilmington home that did correspond with a time where hunter biden had listed that wilmington address on his driver's license. now, his own attorney says the reason for that is because he was only permanent address that he had at the time, so we don't know much more beyond that, but we know contextually for these kinds of investigations, interviewing the person at the center of it, which would be joe biden, the current president is a signal that's among the final steps. we do know this is now of course stretching into almost a year now. it's possible it could be wrapping up. it's possible these last steps would be what we have to see before that. we aren't able to report on what might happen in the context of any possible charges at this point. it is important to point out as part of their investigation, congressional republicans have tried to make this connection, this linkage between hunter biden potentially having any kind of access to these documents for which we haven't seen any kind of evidence of so far, even though they continue to probe that aspect. chris. >> monica alba, thank you. up next, holiday shoppers make it an early present thanks to walmart. we'll explain after the break. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. u're watg reports" only on msnbc have fun, sis! ♪♪ can't stop adding stuff to your cart?
