another republican challenger and that person is getting more and more support because i think even on the republican side, they're seeing that she is just too extreme. >> you think she would lose? >> i think she's going to win, but it's going to be closer than you would have thought. >> mayor, it is great to have you on the program. >> thank you. a major spoiler alert for any gymnastics fans. we're about to reveal the results of the women's team final. but look away. turn the sound down if you don't want to hear. simone biles and team usa putting on a stellar display to earn gold today. part of their redemption tour after silver in tokyo. biles now the most decorated american gymnast in olympic history with eight medals. the chance to win even more this week. go, team usa. that does it for us this hour. our coverage continues. r coveras

>> we're going to begin this hour with breaking news out of the middle east. in beirut where hospital officials are telling nbc news one woman is now dead and 17 others are injured including six children. as the idf says it has carried out a strike on the hezbollah commander they allege is responsible for the deadly attack in the golan heights this weekend that killed a dozen children and teens. hezbollah has denied responsibility. since the october 7th attack, there have been fear that is the gaza conflict could escalate into a larger regional war. it has a question we have been asking almost every day since. is this the answer to those fears or does it end today?

i want to bring in matt bradley and gabe gutierrez. matt, give us the latest on what you're hearing on this attack. >> reporter: sorry, having trouble hearing you with the connection. the situation now is influx. we have been hearing the israelis, and we heard this from israeli officials, that they were targeting a specific man. one of the senior commanders of hezbollah and we haven't heard decidedly whether or not he has been killed but we know there was at least one death. a woman. there were 17 injuries. six were children. but there was a lot of other questions that are still swirling around now. chief among them is israel satisfied with this strike. will they launch other strikes

against other hezbollah leaders or installations which really dot this entire nation. so this is a situation that could even continue into the night or the coming days as the israeli security cabinet decides whether or not they're satisfied. they are likely going to engage the public to see whether or not the public feels they've done enough to put hezbollah on notice. at the same time, israelis have been getting substantial diplomatic pressure, telling them they are okay from the united states specifically. while the united states does back their right to respond to zbhey shld not do so in a way that escalates the situation and the reason why there is this fear is because if hezbollah does escalate and if israel does that, it could bring in iran in the gaza strip and that could bring in the united

states. we saw something like this in january. they killed a hamas leader and that situation fizzled out. didn't lead to the kind of region wide war that a lot of american and israeli diplomats very much feared. >> if you could try to answer some of those questions matt bradley put out there. first and foremost, is the israeli prime minister satisfied with the strike and also how the public is responding. what the israeli public has wanted to see in response to the attack on saturday. what are you hearing from your perspective inside israel? >> since the attack in the golan heights where 12 children were killed playing soccer, the demands mostly from a population up in the north of the country which has been decimated even

much before this attack has been very, very violent. demands of the population has been bomb hezbollah to smithereens even if it involves bombing beirut. as matt said, there's intention pressure against israel really engaging with lebanon. the nation of lebanon and not just hezbollah militia, but if this man has been targeted and assassinated by israel, he's considered the number two man. very, very, very senior. i think that from the israel point of view, the government won't really be able to justify a much wider response than that. that will be considered proportional retaliation. >> let me just tell you what we're hearing.

in that it is unclear if in fact this commander survived. one woman dead, 17 injured including six children and two critical. so if in fact we get any confirmation that this commander who carried out this strike on saturday, do you expect more from israel? >> it's hard to say. i think this situation is still very much influx. i think we're going to hear different reports about the damage caused about about the casualties. i also expect hezbollah will respond even as early as tonight. i don't know in what dimensions. worth remembering another israeli man in his late 20s was killed today from a hezbollah strike after this very dramatic attack of saturday, which all these children were killed,

there have been ongoing rocket attacks non-stop. so i think it depends a little bit on both sides but i do think in terms of the israeli, let's say the public's fear, whether or not this assassination is confirmed, will have an impact. >> i think it's important to reiterate here, the individual, the commander who was targeted, second in command by the way to the one leading the supreme leader of hezbollah. i want to read this as we're just getting it. saying the israeli strike in the suburbs of beirut on tuesday was targeted hezbollah commander better known by his nickname and the israeli official is not clear if he survived the strike. the official telling us. gabe, what are you hearing from the white house on this and their response and if in fact they were told about this strike before israel carried it out. >> as you mentioned, this is a

very fluid situation. what we are hearing from the white house right now is that it has no immediate response to this specific strike. just a short time ago, the white house press secretary was asked about previous comments that john kirby said yesterday where he said the administration believed that fears of an all out war were greatly exaggerated. saying basically that the white house believes that an all out war is not inevitable and that they are still seeking some sort of diplomatic solution. now, defense secretary lloyd austin was also asked about this in a press conference earlier today in manila. let's listen. >> we've seen a lot of activity on the border, we remain concerned about the potential of this escalating into a full

blown fight. i don't think a fight is inevitable. i think we'd like to see things resolved in a diplomatic fashion. >> again, the talking points we're hearing from the administration at this point. you asked that the white house had been tipped off about this attack. we have not confirmed that, however, white house officials have said they have been in constant contact israeli officials over the last several days and what they've really been trying to do is tone down the public rhetoric here in order to find some sort of diplomatic resolution behind the scenes. that's something they've said over and over again. urging restraint. there's still a lot we don't know. we don't know if the retaliatory strike is over. if the next couple of hours could mean more strikes. but if it is limited to this current attack, this appears to be the type of targeted response

the white house had been urging israel to do. a strike on one particular commander. but again, we'll have to see how this plays out over the next few hours. and what hezbollah's response is at this point, but this afternoon, right now, no immediate response from the white house as it seeks to get more information. >> you have this ongoing conflict and war with gaza right now. with hamas. this possibility of what could be seen as a more expanded conflict with hezbollah. how worried are israelis about the possibility of that? >> israelis are very worried. some israelis are very we could say hot to trot about expanding this war. not necessarily because of a war like impulse, but because it's been almost ten months of constant attacks on the israeli

north in an undeclared war. it's basically a third of the country that has been almost emptied of its population and the few you know localities, the towns and cities where people still are living, those are the ones that have been so hard hit. so the demands of the israeli public, again, in particular residents of the north who are internally displaced in israel are do something. and these are becoming sort of desperate calls for netanyahu's extremist right wing government, no matter how much he may want to kind of keep an even keel, which i think is a question, his ministers are really demanding a massive respond. so again as matt and gabe have also said, a lot will end up depending on whether this hezbollah top commander has been hit. really if he's been eliminated. i think that would allow israel

in some way to say, well, hezbollah killed 12 children and have decimated this part of the country, but we hit them back hard. and then we might be able to see at least the possibility for a diplomatic opening in that region. >> is there a question that the prime minister does not want to keep an even keel on this situation? >> i unfortunately have to say yes. because he has not spoken out. he has not made any clear statements at all about what his intentions are. he's running war decisions within the cabinet now in a two-man team. it's just the prime minister and the defense minister. so the entire mechanism is very opaque and it's unclear what his intentions are. >> thank you. gabe, matt, thank you. want to bring in now a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment. aaron david miller. this was a targeted strike,

aaron, and we don't have confirmation that the initial target in this strike has in fact been killed. this commander, the second in command to the leader of hezbollah, an iranian proxy. what do you make of it? >> the israelis and thanks for having me. not sure it was the goldilocks solution, not too hot, not too cold. to send a strong signal. qualitative from anything they've done. hezbollah's strike, whether it was an errant missile designed for israeli military positions or not, the fact is 12 children, permanent residents, were killed. the israelis had to find the way to send a signal so they launched an operation designed to strike at the second perhaps most important adviser to hasan.

they didn't really pay attention to what the administration has viewed, that they should not strike in beirut. this strike separates most of their operations. and the real question now i think is and everyone's been saying it, but it's absolutely true. whether or not he was killed, the question is how is hezbollah going to respond. israel struck beirut. it was determined that they needed to send the signal. so striking the lebanese capital, perhaps killing a senior adviser to hezbollah leader will force and prompt i think hezbollah to respond. one point in terms of perspective here. even if we manage to get out of this round without a major escalation, without triggering or tripping into something the middle east has never seen

before, a truly regional war, not just involving israel and hezbollah, but perhaps the iranian and israel and the u.s. you still won't address the problem. and the israeli strike won't do that either. hezbollah has 150,000 high trajectory weapons. their forces are still far too close to the border. you've got 60, 70,000 israelis who have relocated from the israeli lebanese quarter. this was another in what i suspect will be an ongoing war of attrition. the only way i think now to diffuse this and i think this round has made the prospects of an israeli hamas cease fire even more unlikely is to find a way to get that cease fire done even if it's only for six years. >> what would address the problem? you're saying that this doesn't actually address the underlying

problem. what would? >> it's the same issue with israel and hamas. you have two non state actors. hamas and hezbollah, who would manage even given a weakness in comparison with the middle east's most grand military power in israel. even if you end up with a cease fire in gaza. even if you find a way to get out of this particular round of this crisis, you're still going to be left with an unresolved israeli lebanese problem. with hezbollah's arsenal. 150,000 high trajectory weapons and hamas surviving ten months of war. probably to emerge as an insurgency with the capacity to affect gaza. i think we have to get used to the fact that these are two wars of attrition. and there are no neat or tidy endings to them. but for the moment, let's hope that israeli hezbollah calculations can return us to

something which is not desirable, but it's far better than triggering a regional confrontation. that is a continuing battle between israel and hezbollah along the border. that's not going to stop unless you get an israeli gaza cease fire. even then over time may not do it. >> and you brought up iran earlier. we know there's a new president in iran and we know there's limits to the president's power inside iran. i know a leader inside hamas was just meeting the president of iran. when you think about what that means as limited inside iran, do you believe there are conversations happening in iran, israel and hamas, and do you have any optimism now that you have this quote unquote reformist society inside iran? >> i think the iranian are

interested in a controlled but continuing escalation. and hezbollah. and israel. they don't want to see hezbollah decimated. after all, hezbollah is their sort of option in the event that israel or the u.s. strike iranian nuclear facilities or property. they don't want to see it decimated which is why if this trips into a major israeli hezbollah confrontation involving the deaths of hundreds of thousands of israelis and lebanese and attacks our national infrastructure, it's hard to imagine that iran can stay out. again, we have to hope that what the israelis have done sends that message and even with a response by hezbollah that it's controlled and doesn't climb the escalatory ladder. >> it's important to take a deep breath amidst all that is happening. we are thankful for you. still ahead, donald trump has

repeatedly tried to distance himself from project 2025 now that democrats and kamala harris made it a key attack point. we've got some breaking news on its director. plus, new details about the security arrangements in place the day donald trump was shot. what top officials for the secret service and fbi told lawmakers during today's intense testimony. we'll be right back. today's ine testimony. we'll be right back. ♪ to see hundreds of miles of tracks. ♪ [vroom] [train horn] [buzz] clearing the way, [whoosh] so you arrive exactly where you belong.

a self-proclaimed -- attracted nearly 180,000. in georgia, a state president biden won by less than 12,000 votes in 2020 is back in play and a top target for the harris campaign. the vice president's got a rally there tonight along with the state's heaviest political hitters and a performance by rapper, megan the stallion. joining us now, dasha burns. if you will, start us off because georgia's former governor telling the agc, the atlanta journal constitution that he is confident that harris has more than a fighting chance. they're saying this. his advice to her strategist focus on younger georgians. quit worrying about angry old white men and contrast her background as a prosecutor with trump's legal troubles. is that what the campaign is

focusing on? especially in a state like georgia where she'll be tonight? >> reporter: all around, it's a different battleground strategy. the biden campaign was concerned about georgia. not looking good there. they are much more focused on the blue law, on michigan, and pennsylvania. with harris, georgia is absolutely in play. they are focusing on it. they are building out their operation in that state. they've already opened four new field offices. hired 7500 new volunteers in that state. and yeah, they can have the luxury of speaking to a younger audience in a different way. just because of that difference in age. the difference in demographic, the difference in background between harris and biden and they're going to be taking advantage of that. >> i know time is ticking for veepstakes and i know you're in pennsylvania for a reason. the possibility of the governor there being chosen as the vice president's possible vice presidential nominee.

what are you hearing? >> he's been really visible here over the last week or so. he just stopped by a youth basketball program here in north philly where they've invested some money. he shot some hoops and talked to reporters about his history with harris. that he met her in 2006. used her model as ag in california as inspiration for what he did here as ag in pennsylvania and i did ask him about his own prospects for vp. especially about the history that a harris shapiro ticket might make. harris of course being a black woman at the top of the ticket. but he would also make history if selected and elected as a man of jewish faith. what would a jewish vp nominee mean in this moment? >> again, i think this is a deeply personal decision for the vice president to make. who she wants to run with, govern with, and who can help

best move america forward. i think there are so many people within the democratic party who are extraordinary people. extraordinary public servants and she will make the best decision for her in the country. >> reporter: you've been very careful about not saying you want the job. but others took themselves out. >> i think it's a decision the vice president needs to make. i'm not going to sort of get into the hypotheticals. >> reporter: we talked about dwaz georgia, but pennsylvania also a critical battleground state. he has a really high approval rating here. he's governed as a bipartisan leader trying to bring democrats and republicans together. if the harris campaign is looking for that kind of moderate to bring the swing voters into the poll, then shapiro might have a leg up. >> i want to talk about this, about project 2025. the director stepping down. walk us through it.

>> yeah. so project 2025 has become in recent months you hear about almost as much as trump in terms of what the democrats are attacking. in using it interchangeably with trump's agenda for a second term even though there's a lot of overlap, both in terms of personnel, alumni of trump's first term likely to return in a second term and a lot of the proposals themselves. there's a lot of overlap. but that has really gotten under the skin of the trump campaign insisting that no one speaks for trump expect trump and they really have not liked all this bat publicity that the heritage foundation and project 2025 has been generating for them. so now the project is winding down the policy piece. there's not going to be any more policy promotion coming out of project 2025. they're still doing the personnel piece which is they have a database of applicants to serve in a second administration

and the director is leaving and everyone is kind of trying to use this as an opportunity to get project 2025 out of the limelight, to try to smooth things over with the trump campaign. but obviously, the democrats are going to say not so fast. >> so in addition to the bad publicity he's getting from project 2025, he's also having to field bad publicity when it comes to his vp pick, jd vance. i know you were reporting on this, this call vance had with donors because trump saying harris at the top of the ticket doesn't change anything for us. doesn't really change our strategy. we're just as confident as we were before and yet in this call with donors with vance, he in fact says harris doesn't have the same baggage as the president, as joe biden. harris is a lot younger. and is obviously not struggling in the same ways that joe biden did. walk us through more of what was

heard on this phone call, what's happening inside the trump camp? >> well, acknowledging what we can all see about the new strengths that harris has brought to the democratic campaign for the white house relative to how biden was struggling. and the only issue is that it was at odds with the trump campaign insisting that nothing had change. so in private with these donor, vance was acknowledging those strengths that harris brings. it really comes down to just how well, how less defined she is. how well everyone already had their minds made up about trump and biden and harris is a much less well-known figure. that creates an opportunity for both campaigns to tell a story about who she is and harris has been trying to do that in a positive way and you saw today the trump campaign coming after her with their first ad directed against her focusing on her role

leading the administration's response to migration at the southern border. but they have not exactly settled on what their attack line against her is going to be and vance in those remarks to donors and we've seen this from trump in recent interviews kind of previewing a variety of attacks they might try while they see what connects. >> any recording from inside the harris camp of vance acknowledging they have a tougher battle with harris at the top of the ticket? >> reporter: well, look, they're already trying to brand him before he can really brand himself using words like weird. kind of odd line, younger approach to attacking the other side of the aisle. i have no doubt they're going to use this moment of bad news cycle for the trump campaign with vance and a moment of momentum for the harris campaign. that big question mark still

about who her running mate will be, which will be another moment for the harris campaign to galvanize some attention and excitement. >> and we could get that name any moment now really. thank you. still ahead, a failure on multiple levels. what officials told lawmakers today at a hearing as the investigation on the attempt on donald trump's life continues. plus, kamala harris is narrowing down her vp list. what each contender brings to the tightening race against donald trump. we'll be right back. ning race a donald trump we'll be right back. astepro starts working in 30 minutes. astepro and go!

welcome back. it got heated on capitol hill today as senators in a joint committee hearing grilled acting secret service director, ronald row and paul bait on the failures that led to the attempted assassination of former president trump. >> you're asking me, senator, to completely make a rush to judgment about somebody failing. i acknowledge this was a failure. >> is it not -- that somebody failed? the former president was shot. >> this could have been our texas school book depository. i have lost sleep over that for the last 17 days. i will not rush to judgment, people will be held accountable and i will do so with integrity and not rush to judgment. >> unfairly persecuted?

we've got people who are dead. >> we've got to be able to have a proper investigation into this, senator. >> this was acting secret service director's first public appearance since last week. i want to bring in julia to talk more about this. there was a lot of headline moments to say the least out of that testimony today and a lot of back and forths as we just saw. what stood out to you, julia. >> i think overall, the change in tone. we saw last week director cheetle kind of cower at the vitriol. totally opposite today where you saw him stand up firmly. he was also able to give more answers. i think a lot of the frustration last week was nine days after the incident and there were so

few answers about whether the secret service knew there was someone with a gun. the headlines to take away apart from the tone is one, there's now a disciplinary review happening inside the secret service. there's a part of just separate from just a review to say what were the lessons learned. they were looking at people who could be fired or disciplined for their role or action or inaction on january 13th. that's a huge change from what we saw last week. also, we did not know that the shooter was armed and getting on the roof at the time they let trump take the stage. that's important because we look at the timeline, we knew at 5:53 p.m., snipers had been alerted there was a suspicious person in the crowd that local police were looking for. we know it's because crooks did have a gun and went up on that roof. the question was why was trump allowed to take the stage at

6:02. according to row today, they did not know he was armed, only suspicious. so he says they allowed him to take the stage any way. then there was a lot of back and forth about resources of the secret service. i thought that was interesting because we've heard in covering this that prior to this event, trump secret service had been denied resources. they wanted more manpower, technology, before allowing him to do these events because he's a former president. there's a lot of heightened rhetoric around trump. they wanted more security. they've been denied those resources. but in this case, row was saying that really any agency would like to have more money but they've been able to hire 200 more people this year. it didn't seem like a matter of particular concern to him and i think that's what really got under the skin particularly of a lot of the republican senators today who wanted some kind of acknowledgment that they had understaffed trump security detail and they were going to be

doing far more in the future. in fact, we heard dick durbin, a democrat, tell row to dream big, the think big. when it came to how they would staff these. >> it did seem incredulous to me of where the stage was in juxtaposition to the top of the roof where the shooter was. and the fact that he was there and armed and somebody had already given a heads up that he was there and armed yet they didn't know when he took the stage close to the president on the day of the rally. thank you. coming up, who was sticking out on harris' vp list and what can they bring to the ticket as the clock is counting down to the democratic national convention. we'll be right back. e democrati convention we'll be right back. like pure aloe and camellia flower oil. and none of the things it won't. hair feels deeply nourished,

the clock is officially ticking and i mean official. and the short list, it's shifting in the high stakes race to be harris' running mate. roy cooper is no longer on the list. but you've got andy bashir received vetting documents from the harris campaign. there's new reporting from axios to consider gary peters and pete

was being coy. >> when they vet you, do you feel it? is it a physical. >> sean: sensation? >> you know when you're being vetted. i'm going to vet you right now. >> all i should say about it is she's going to make this decision. >> oh, my god. you're being vetted. everything you say, even that. is being vetted. >> probably. >> msnbc political analyst elise jordan had the opportunity to speak to progressive voters in wisconsin. a key battleground. here's what they told her about who they think kamala harris would pick as her running mate. >> minnesota governor got a very progressive record. speaks very well on camera. and you know, midwestern guy in a region of the country that the democrats absolutely need to

win. >> i agree. i was going to say tim as well. he's done a remarkable job in minnesota. he's in a similar vain to tony evers in that fun, schoolteacher kind of guy. >> i'm a big whitmer fan. >> i want her to run for president. >> i want her four years of kamala. yeah, but, but i've, i could be wrong and i would love to be proven wrong but i feel like realistic there are a lot of people who insist there not be two women on the ticket. however, i would still love that. >> joining us now, former obama campaign adviser. there are so many names thrown out there, names i mentioned, but some i didn't. josh shapiro, andy bashir. senator mark kelly of arizona. tim walls. the minnesota governor. his name has been thrown around a lot lately.

a lot of folks seeming to like, what are you looking out for? how difficult is this vetting process and what are you looking out for? >> i think this vetting process is extremely difficult. there are months of vetting that goes, that happens. it's not truncated into a matter of a new days or a little over a week. i think what this vp has to do is to ensure that she chooses someone who isn't only a balance of the ticket, but also someone who's a governing partner. that matters. the idea or the notion that choosing someone from a battleground state is going to win that battleground state is misguided. we have not seen that in the past. actually, several vps have been chosen who didn't win the state they were from anyway. it's going to be important to choose a candidate who is going to be able to speak to various demographics, unite the party,

but also to continue that expansion mechanism. but also someone who i think speaks the language of the people on the ground. tim walls is impressive because he's been able to change the communication of the democratic party around this race. the term, weird, we were not hearing just a few weeks ago. he was able to take a very common word that we use often and label the republicans and their policies for what they are. those are weird. beyond that, i think that it matters that she chooses someone she can gel with in the same way she has with joe biden in the white house, acknowledging that it matters to have executive level experience, to be able to answer that 3:00 a.m. call. acknowledging what we're seeing unravel in the middle east. someone who's going to be a partner this strategy, but also someone who's going to be a partner on the campaign trail. that's a tough sell to have to pick someone in the truncated time that she has, but i think that the team that is combined to do it now is the team she needs. >> how much do you think the pick is about their identity and

what the ticket is going to look like? even when we are in these kind of unprecedented times in which she is facing donald trump, the former president of the united states, found guilty on 34 felony counts, found liable for sexual assault, but nonetheless, they are talk about the identities of the vp picks. josh shapiro, a jewish man. governor of pennsylvania. do they want two women on the ticket? would mark kelly bring in a certain type of identity? a white man as vp pick. how much of this pick is going to be about identity even with her facing off against an unprecedented candidate like donald trump? >> well, the bar has always been higher for democrats than for donald trump. we know what type of candidate vance is antiwoman.

but i think the understanding is that she definitely has to get those base voters out but in addition to that, again, being able to charge and press forward in a message that is actually attack worthy but lands against the republicans that she is going to be fighting against in order to get to the white house. i think that's going to really matter. for identity, regardless of whether we get around it or not, we cannot get around identity politics in america. unfortunately, the right has attacked her on race and being a female. two things we see anytime we see her. i think that because they have been so punctuated in their hatred of her, because of race, misogyny and sexism in this country, it is going to matter. it's going to matter that we see a lot of the white supremacist material is not only black, but it's jewish. they were marching with their nazi flags in addition to hating on black people at the same time. there's a through line there.

so i think that you consider a shapiro for instance who is a great person and should be a candidate, there's also the idea of what this actually looks like on the ground. do you want a two-woman ticket? whitmer has exed herself out of the running but i think we're in an america that is not as progressive in terms of its leadership as we like to think that it is and those are things that are taken into consideration when it comes to a choice. >> thank you. good stuff. still ahead, we are on the ground in paris for day four of the olympic games and team usa's redemption tour in women's gymnastics. we'll be right back. gymnastics we'll be right back. welcome to the wayborhood. with wayfair, finding your style is fun.

welcome back. it has been another exciting day of olympic history in paris. first men's soccer, team usa just advanced to the quarter finals, beating out guinea 3-0. and women's fencing, egyptian competitor won her first match of the game and then she announced she's fencing for two, revealing she is 7 months pregnant in an emotional instagram post. and just last hour, a golden moment for team usa's women's gymnastics. your still going to want to watch this. chief correspondent keir simmons is in paris for us. >> reporter: a storming start for team usa. women's gymnastics with simone biles taking to the floor for the final routine in the team finals and just knocking it out of the park. incredible. her teammates waiting and watching and then the celebrations when the score came in. the numbers came in and the

stars and stripes came out. it really was a fantastic scene. there were some wobbles through the day. jordan chiles stumbling off the bar at one point. but they held it together. and in the end, were far superior to even italy with silver and brazil with bronze. so a fantastic start for those gymnasts and for simone biles who could come away with five medals. coco gauff crashing out of the tennis and having a confrontation with officials there for ten minutes. ending up in tears. this always happens here. so clearly she felt she wasn't being treated fairly. team usa getting a bronze in the rugby, to beat australia. the rugby women for team usa, that was a shock. and then when it comes to the seine and whether the triathlon

will happen tomorrow, they are confident that it will. that the men and women will both compete tomorrow. the men were canceled today. because of the quality of the water in the seine. they measure it overnight and then in the early hours in the morning. so that is to look forward to tomorrow, but what a start for gymnastics for team usa. >> so much to watch this evening. and in olympics prime time. keir simmons, thank you. that does it for me, everybody.
