one is online now for "the atlantic." staff writer elaina plott calabro, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you all. >> that does it for us, we'll see you right back here at 6:00 eastern tomorrow. jose diaz-balart picks up the coverage. right here on, biggest assault by hezbollah since the region was overturned october 7th.iranian-backed group in lebanon, both sides could be stepping back from the brink of war. plus, with just ten weeks to go in the campaign, vice president harris and former president trump ramp up their ground game in crucial states, as trump raises now doubts about whether he's going to debate harris next month. also today, lawmakers canvas the site where former president trump was shot in pennsylvania.

what the bipartisan task force hopes to uncover. and we're tracking more extreme weather, including flash floods that trapped dozens of hikers at the grand canyon. it is 10:00 a.m. eastern, 7:00 a.m. pacific. i'm jose diaz-balart in for ana cabrera. the biggest military confrontation between israel and hezbollah in ten months has regional leaders bracing for all-out war. but now, both sides appear to be de-escalating a bit. this week, israel launched thousands of rockets on lebanon, framed as a preemptive strike. hezbollah with drones that cause zero casualties. both sides claim victory but both sides seem to be bringing down the temperature.

hezbollah's leaders say everyone can, quote, take a breath and relax. this face-off happened as diplomats were working on a gaza cease-fire agreement, talks which, again, failed to deliver a breakthrough. nbc international correspondent is in jerusalem. and aaron gichrist in washington. and jason beardsley. and former deputy assistant secretary of state joel reuben. both sides seem to be calming tensions down, has it worked? >> reporter: well, remember, for months now, both sides have been saying they don't want a war. but those sides have also been saying they're ready for one. remember, for viewers, i think it's important to remember what part on july 30th. that's when the senior commander of hezbollah was assassinated by israel in beirut. since then, hezbollah and the head of hezbollah vowed

retaliation. and it had to show its supporters that this could not go unanswered. why wait several weeks, almost four weeks to be exact? well, he in his televised speech yesterday, explaining that, one, he wanted to instill fear in israelis. number two, he also wanted to give cease-fire talks a chance to progress. he said that there was, in the end, no progression, because there was always last-minute demands by israel. and so it happened yesterday, this predawn attack. israeli officials saying they had intelligence there were thousands of rocket launchers aimed and pointed at israel. and they deployed 100 fighter jets into lebanon. and hezbollah said they launched 340 rockets, they targeted about 11 military bases. they were able to distract the iron dome. launch a drone deeper into israel, targeting what it says

was a key military base that was linked to the assassination. and in the end, it was able to declare victory. israel says there was no damage, the attempt failed and israel was able to also declare victory. matter was contained. it happened. things moved along fairly quickly, it was over by the time most people woke up. by noon, whatever restrictions had been announced were lifted. the flights resumed at the airports but i will say that the leader said for them, it's mission complete, but it's also phase one which begs the question, if there is a phase two, i suppose, in the next few days, next few weeks. >> aaron, meanwhile, what has been the response from the white house? >> well, the biden administration has also been watching activities in the middle east very closely, jose. president biden, we know, received his most recent update to our knowledge yesterday.

he traveled back from california, back to the east coast here, he's in his home in rehoboth beach, delaware, right now. but was able to get the briefings from his national security team. we understand the directive to them was to keep in touch with israel. let them know that israel stands at its side at a defense posture. to that end, secretary of defense lloyd austin reiterating u.s. support for israel's defense. we also understand that the secretary has ordered two carrier strike groups to stay in that region, two navy strike groups to stay in that region. one was supposed to be leaving. and at this point, at least until something changes, the two groups were ordered to stay there. thousands of personnel from navy and air assets as well. at the same time, the secretary has been pushing for a cease-fire deal to come through. and we heard from a u.s. defense official, jose, that the united

states military did not engage -- did not participate in any of the strikes that happened late saturday into sunday. but the u.s. was able to provide some oversight of sorts for the israeli military, in terms of tracking some of the activity from hezbollah, coming out of lebanon. >> danielle and aaron gilchrist, thank you both for being with us this morning. jason, i want to start with you. what do you think israel accomplished with these strikes other the weekend? >> well, this is advantageous for israel for a number of reasons. number one, they have to find a way to take attacks against hezbollah which are not jeopardizing the populations. when you look at the terrain in southern lebanon, you have a good opportunity to do that in that number two, they have to signal to hezbollah and iran behind much of this that they're not going to sit back. hezbollah has to do the same thing, you open this piece. with some of the signaling

that's happening, making sure that the door is left open for future quote-unquote attacks while israel is doing the same thing. this is about regional hegemony. chaos, an anti-western slant. and using proxies like the houthi rebels, hamas and lebanon is an effective way to create a buffer. what israel has done in this case essentially a bit of a brush-back pick. both sides have also signaled they're not interested in escalation here. that's a good sign. >> yeah, i mean, joel, what are your thoughts on -- by israel launching this attack, what effect is it having on possible cease-fire talks? and as, you know, we were just discussing there is a larger geopolitical reality in the region? >> yeah, no doubt. look, these strikes were calibrated to make an impact. and they were done, also, i

believe, to restore confidence amongst the israeli people. october 7th, a surprise attack that came into israel. the single worst attack against the israeli population in its history. so being preemptive and striking against hezbollah rocket which is have depopulated much the north and israel. about 100,000 people have left their homes that restores deterrence and confidence in the israeli people. and does give space, again, for the negotiation. and to your point, a cease-fire negotiation, it's close, it's always close. it has to get done. hostages need to get out. the palestinian civilians need to get a respite. fortunately, the signals are that negotiations can continue. restored confidence a bit among the israeli people. and restored with negotiations continuing forward. >> are you expressing some

optimism? >> you know, in the middle east, it's always -- it's always a little tricky to be a little too optimistic. but there are always deals to be had in the middle east, including and especially after violent confrontations. that's the history of this conflict. that's how you resolve conflicts, you make peace, you make deals. our deal by bill burns, out in the region, locking hand in glove with the negotiators, talking to hamas, the leader of qatar going to iran saying don't escalate. this has to get done. president biden is spending an inordinate amount of time on this. the hostage families are making pleas at the public, republican convention, democratic convention. at a certain point, the prime minister has to decide it's enough, he's restored some deterrence, north and south and has to get the hostages out. this is the best way to truly get the hostages out. >> jason, just your thoughts,

how is the best way to get the hostages out? >> first of all, joel makes a great point about removing from israel. and restoration as he put it of netanyahu, giving confidence back to the people is part of that but then the negotiations itself are very difficult. we're talking about parties to include mossad chief and cia chief involved with negotiations with places like egypt, qatar and jordan. so what you're really seeing is a larger geopolitical shift. the balance of power in iran. iran is facing dire consequences in their home front. people low percentage in the turnout at the election. so, they're really using a lot of this as a distraction to get to the hostage -- which was your question, the hostage release is going to be like threading a needle. and it's going to require a lot of diplomacy. i got to be honest with you, if you're sitting in palestine, if you're sitting on the other side of this coin, watching the two

intel chiefs, part of this negotiation is not going to breed confidence. so, i think we have to look at that and question, what are the real signals being sent here. >> and, yeah, joel, i'm just -- you know, the iranian regime, since 1979 has been -- you know, to put it in a very nice way, not very, very interested in supporting the west, certainly, the united states is one of its enemies, as is israel. how do you, joel, deal with an iran that, regardless of elections and what they supposedly show or not is firmly until power in iran and has that determination? >> yeah. jose, that's definitely an understatement. iran has been stirring up trouble across the region for decades now, supporting terrorist proxies like hezbollah and hamas. and even the houthis in yemen who now all aiming rockets at israel. and, so, there has to be an approach towards iran that

combines strength with diplomacy. president biden was exquisite in terms of his recent management of iran, saying do not strike israel. he said the same thing in april, essentially when iran shot rockets at israel, we in turn shot down regional allies. that's strength with economic sanctions in trying to get iran to change its behavior. it's a spoiler. pulls the strings of hamas and the houthis. it needs to understand, that right now, what it's doing is not succeeding. and i don't believe it is succeeding. and as a result, it has to sort of change its direction. there's a lot of uncertainty and instability in iran. but at this stage, at this moment, the combination of using all assets in national power is the best approach towards iran. of course, got to mention the nuclear program over time. donald trump ripped up the nuclear deal that we had that

unleashed iran's ability to move forward on a program. there has to be a way to have a nuclear deal down the road that curtails the world's worst weapons. that's always top of mind. >> go ahead, jason. >> i was just going to say, if we could add one more piece, united states has leverage. one of the problems syria and iraq where pockets of u.s. servicemembers are still sitting vulnerable to iranian proxies. we just saw those killed in jordan tower south of iraq. there's a way to do negotiation and stress the naval assets that secretary lloyd austin put it in the region. you talked about the carrier groups, the submarines, those are flexible and can bring accountability without leaving service members in between these players. if you noticed one of the ways iran can stress or stress the

politics here sand create the chaos is by threatening those u.s. service members. as a service member, representing concerned americans we believe bringing those americans back to four or five places where we have an advantage actually lets the u.s. be more responsive and more nimble. >> jason and joel, i thank you for your time. next on msnbc, former president trump visiting arlington national cemetery this morning, just as he casts new doubts on the upcoming debate with vice president harris. plus, wild weather all across the nation. from extreme heat, devastating it floods. we'll have a live forecast, next. we're back in 90 seconds. (♪♪)

i'm getting vaccinated with pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. come on. i already got a pneumonia vaccine, but i'm asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia.

15 past the hour. turning now to the 2024 presidential race and the new debate over a debate. former president trump and of course vice president harris are schedule to the go ahead to head on abc but a new social media post by trump, concerned over the rules by the harris campaign is now casting doubts on whether it's going to happen it all. joining us, gabe gutierrez, nbc's garrett haake, they have the latest on the trump-vance campaign. garrett, what exactly did trump say about the debate, whether it's going to happen or not? >> reporter: look, this is an

overnight post, calling them fake news, abc, calling correspondents by name, some of whom are participating, some probably not. and wonders aloud, why would i do that debate on that network, saying harris had turned down offers on other networks, some of those are still pending. the bottom line, jose, it looks to me donald trump working the reps ahead of this debate. complaining about the personalities he doesn't like, as a way to perhaps lower expectations for himself. muddy the waters about questions that might be asked and how his performance might be handled if and when he shows up for that debate on the 10th. >> gabe, meanwhile, what is the harris campaign concern? >> reporter: well, jose, separate from that truth social post overnight, the harris campaign is now raiing issues about the rules for this debate and the trump campaign is now

responding. essentially, the harris campaign wants hot mics during the entire debate. jose, you'll remember, that is remarkable because a couple months ago, the biden team actually did not want hot mics during the debate. they wanted muted mics when the other candidate was speaking. it says in part, the vice president is ready to deal with trump's constant lies and interruptions in realtime. trump should stop hiding behind the mute button. and the trump campaign is firing back, saying it is the harris team, asking for more changes, including sitting down during the debate. and also referring to notes. and also opening statements as well. now, i just spoke with someone from the harris team who denies those rule changes but as garrett mentioned this seems to be an ongoing dispute. and right now, it's anybody's guess whether, you know, this debate will happen on september 10th. it appears, both campaigns

haven't said yet, but they're backing away officially, but it does appear that president trump is trying to look for reps at this point. >> the harris campaign had agreed to the issues. it seems like there's no changes in it. what's the issue on the mic? is this something that had not been agreed to on this version of the debate? >> reporter: well, the trump campaign said it agreed to the rules present in the cnn debate. the one that happened between president biden and former president trump. the harris campaign is now saying it does not want muted mics at all. and says that, essentially, as you saw in that statement, it's accusing the trump campaign of wanting to hide behind the mute button. look, that's a strange argument to be making in part because the biden team actually argued the opposite during the previous debate. so, again, this comes down to a dispute. at this point, staffers are saying one thing. it's unclear how this all shakes out, jose. >> and, garrett, meanwhile,

trump was at arlington national cemetery this morning on the third anniversary of the suicide bombing in afghanistan that killed 13 u.s. servicemembers. what kind of an issue is trump using on this one? >> reporter: well, look, this is a low-key way for trump to highlight something that he considers to be one of the biggest failures of the biden administration, something that he hopes to tie kamala harris to. the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan three years ago. trump highlights the bombing of those 13 servicemembers at abby gate. trump views the afghanistan withdrawal as a major foreign policy weakness for both president biden and vice president harris. and the polling has shown that that was a point at which joe biden's popularity took a major hit and started to go down in that summer three years ago, didn't really recover. so this is the kind of thing i expect you'll see donald trump try to highlight and raise more

subtle and more directly in his speeches and campaign trail appearances. >> garrett and gabe, thank you both so very much. joining us now, megan hayes, former assistant to president of the united states biden, and mayor and communications director. i want to thank you both for being with us. megan, with all of this back and forth over the debate, do you think it's likely to occur? >> yeah, i think it's going to occur. they'll call him a coward. he'll have to show up. whether or not the mics are hot or not, he needs to be there. the american people and voters need to see a conversation between these two candidates. so both of them have to show up. >> tara, one of the most important issues this election cycle, abortion. trump's running mate was pressed this weekend on if trump would oppose a federal ban on abortion. here's what he said. >> would he veto a federal

abortion ban? >> i think he would. he said that explicitly he would. >> i don't think he said explicitly he would. >> no republican, at least no republican with any power is saying we should have a complete abortion ban. >> tara, i'm just wondering how you see that. was that answer clear enough for voters? >> well, no. because they've been pretty inconsistent on this, whether they will or won't. you can't believe anything donald trump says, he's a lying liar who lies. and that's documented. he's bragged about the fact that he installed the judges on the supreme cour that overturned roe that took a women's rights. women have seen this, they live it every day. the horror stories of what's happening to women across this country because of what donald trump's policies have done are real. so, jd vance trying to walk it back, or trying to explain it away, it's not going to work. and we all know, behind the

scenes, they see the polling, that this is an issue that's killing the republicans. and it has since 2022. there was supposed to be this big red wave. but it didn't happen because of the roe v. dobbs decision. my organization focused on this in the battleground states. we're targeting right of center women giving them the permission structure to vote for kamala harris against the extremists of the republicans. we're going to leave it to the states, that's a nod and a wink. we already know what the states have done and the extremist policies that donald trump is giving a nod and wink to them are hurting women and girls across this country. they see what's happening, it's reflected in the polling. >> and, megan, is this issue of abortion, is this pretty much

already set and dried and concrete for both political parties? >> yeah. i don't think the voters are going to see it any different than how it's laid out before. donald trump and jd vance can say whatever they want. but nobody believes what they're saying in this juncture. they've said too many times that they would take the rights away. it's not just reproductive rights. if this is the first step, what is next. i think people are smart enough to see, they're willing to change and say whatever they can to win and get votes. i don't think on this big issue it's going to work. >> megan and tara, thank you both for being with us, appreciate it. up next, lawmakers on the ground at the site of the assassination attempt on former president trump. what they're hoping to learn. plus, a summer sizzling heat and raging floods. we'll look at extreme weather across the country and what's on the forecast, next.

28 past the hour. in just a couple of hours, members of the bipartisan house group task force on the attempted assassination of former president trump will travel back to the scene of the shooting in butler, pennsylvania. they're expected to tour the butler farm show grounds in the latest phase of an ongoing probe on how exactly the shooter was able to gain access to that roof and who shall be held accountable. joining us now, ken dilanian.

ken, we know this is set to begin about 2:00 p.m. eastern time this afternoon. where does the investigation currently stand for the house? >> good morning, jose. so this house task force is chaired by pennsylvania republican mike kelly, a butler native who represents the area and who was present at the rally, and a ranking republican jason crow, a lawmaker. some republicans have visited the site, but they wanted to go back as a group to get a visceral feel of the scene as they conduct the investigation. some of the questions are obvious, right, why was that rooftop unprotected? why did a radio warning by police to the man on the roof reach the secret service agents and why did they allow mr. trump to take the stage when they were hunting for a suspicious person with a range finder. and also questions about the

counterdrone technology. allowing the shooter to use a drone to conduct reconnaissance. and damaging information continues to emerge about the security. there are reports that the secret service was offered a local police drone but declined and was offered radios to communicate with local police, but didn't pick them up. and radio transmissions that have been released shows butler police that he warned to post someone on that roof. some of these are fairly obvious, but what this committee wants to understand, why they happened and who is responsible for them, jose. >> ken dilanian, thank you, sir. and a no thank you offered, comes, no, thank you, don't need them. what do you think lawmakers should be asking? >> well, they put a pretty good

task force together. if you look at the members, a majority of them have military experience, if not army expertise. being on the ground, maybe talking to locals on the scene is going to help as a former criminal investigator, anytime you can get to the scene of the incident or the crime, you're collecting information. and they've got a website up asking people to give anonymous tips, whistle blowers, so they're looking to get answers. i'll say this, with regard to coms. i've heard that they were offered coms on the scene. here's the thing, how many comms are you going to have? multiple on the scene, how many radios are we going to have on me jt the state police, my personal coms. you have either a security rhyme and command post. in that room, you put a member

of every entity that is working on the scene so that coms are happening in that room. that information is being passed realtime. i think one of the things that has come up with coms is the current need to lean more towards, or people seem to be using phones more, or using texting and avoiding radio transmission. i can tell you, as a former agent, when you're on the radio, they typically don't want you on the radio. so the radio can be saved for really important information. i think see some of the things revealed agents actually moving away from using their personal radios and using text message which is cause delays. >> abby, i'm not asking for specific secret stuff, but it seems like, yeah, if you have five different radio com, you know, channels, but isn't there like one channel that everybody could join that should join in an event like this? >> no, it's not. >> no. >> because everybody's channel is different. the radios are different. the encryption is different.

the u.s. secret service has their own radio encryption. think about the law enforcement at the gates, they're listening to the magnetometers, what's going on. that's a whole other conversation. the u.s. secret service is doing investigation as to trump's movements. and on the outer gate, this car's coming in. that traffic is going to be madness. so everybody saying they should all be on the same coms. from a tactical standpoint, they don't understand it. they're supposed to have coms with the sense of everyone talking to one another in one room. it's kind of like the joint terrorism task force, when they were saying why isn't this agency talking to this agency? it is the same thing. so, when you work with local law enforcement, you must put strategies in place so you can talk to one another. i think they're going to be finding a lot of information.

i think the things being revealed are showing there are things that the secret service did not do that caused this event to happen. obviously, we're hearing agents being put on administrative leave. if they're putting people on administrative leave, there's a reason. the vast number of those people being put on administrative leave are actually those located in the pittsburgh field office to include the agent in charge of that office. >> evy, thank you so much, great seeing you, appreciate it. >> also, this morning, the thousands of people have been affected by, for example, in hawaii, they don't have power. 45 million people, meanwhile, across the u.s. are having dangerous heat after a weekend of relentless weather. parts of hawaii's big island, swamped by more than a foot of rain as a hurricane narrowly missed its coast. alaska, landslides burying
