we are now on day four of this war, and israel's main priority right now, before any potential ground assault of gaza, is securing israeli territory. we are now in a kibbutz right next to the border of gaza. in fact, the hamas militants breached this kibbutz's fence right behind me here where those soldiers are and went through this community going house to house, killing people, kidnapping people. we have seen so many of those golf carts where hostages were brought back into the gaza strip, a lot of those golf carts were taken from here and other communities like it. israelis believe that there are still dozens of bodies. and we have seen israeli soldiers going through this area with bodies, going house to house, searching for victims. there are also many hamas bodies in this area. so for now, according to israeli media, about 900 israelis have been killed. but that number is expect to go up as they continue to search

and secure this area and other communities just like it. >> reporter: israel is changing the skyline of the gaza strip. flattening it. medical officials in gaza say more than 700 palestinians have been killed. israel has also cutoff gaza completely. no power, food and water allowed in. it's a total siege. the israeli government says the goal is to crush hamas and drive the militant group from power. israel has told gazaen to seek shelter and protect themselves. but where can they go? in a region sealed off. and this war now in its fourth day could get more intense. this morning israeli military vehicles are lined up outside of gaza, ready for a potential ground assault. on saturday, hamas launched an unprecedented attack, sending more than a thousand fighters into israel. hamas says it prepared for this

for over a year and this morning released a video which the group ended and blurred showing its fighters, practicing, blowing up security fences around the strip. its fighters practicing blowing up the security fences around the security strip and breaking into israel. israelis have been collecting dash camera and cctv footage to understand how hamas fighters attacked. laying in wait for a car to open the gate, shooting the driver and then slipping in. more than 100 bodies of israelis were later discovered there. another video shows what it was like to try to escape. the car racing away is shot at in the windshield. the driver still manages to keep moving until more shots come in and the vehicle loses control and crashes. u.s. officials say americans are among the dead and missing, possibly taken hostage. hamas is now threatening to kill hostages and film the executions unless israel stops attacks on civilians in gaza. >> also horrific, richard. okay. with the fighting picking up,

are we seeing indications that a broader war may be breaking out soon? >> reporter: it is possible. so far we have seen some attacks from lebanon. but they have been relatively small in scale. so there is that potential. but at this stage, it does seem to be contained. if there is a ground assault and if there are more casualties then, yes, the risk of a regional war goes up significantly. >> all right. richard engel for us there inside israel. richard, thank you. as the fighting intensifies the middle east, rallies and demonstrations are being held across the u.s. and there were some tense moments at one vigil held on a college campus overnight. nbc's emilie ikeda is in times square this morning with more. good morning. >> reporter: hey there, savannah. dramatic scenes playing out overnight at the university of florida where there was a vigil. people honoring the lives lost

in hamas' attacks on israel. it started out as a somber and emotional evening when chaos and panic began to ensue. according to university police, when someone had fainted and people were calling 911, that was a misunderstanding, according to police, sending the crowd running, fleeing. you can see the stampede and the chaotic moments playing out. there were roughly 20 people injured in the stampede according to an area hospital, all minor injuries. police underscoring that the incident was an accident. but it does speak to just how many jewish americans are on edge in light of the violence. in fact, just yesterday, i was interviewing someone wearing a yam ka, addressing the ripple effects when the man came up and yelled a expletive israel in his face. we know that police are ramping up patrols at houses of worship, at synagogues across the country. we have seen an increased police presence at rallies, at times competing rallies here in new york, chicago, los angeles, pro-israel rallies,

pro-palestinian rallies as they continue to play out. and emotions, understandably, running high. so many people here in the u.s. with loved ones, people they know over in the war torn region. and now some people are having to bid farewell to loved ones going to fight in israel, including celine, my mom, who just gave an emotional farewell to her younger brother at l.a.x., who is going to fight. she says that she is proud of him but understandably fearful for his safety. all of this, guys, underscoring just the far-reaching impact of the violence we continue to see playing out. savannah and hoda? >> emilee, thank you. turning back to the hostage situation playing out after those attacks in israel and the families now left agonizing over the safety of their loved ones. nbc's raf sanchez has that part of the story. hey, raf, good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning. we are just two miles from the gaza border here and many of the israeli hostages were kidnapped from this.

in some cases dragged out of their homes at gunpoint. but all across this small country, there are families this morning who are waiting for news and praying for their loved one's safety. this morning families waiting in agony, their loved ones under a new threat. that warning from hamas that it may execute civilian hostages in response to israeli strikes. up to 150 people being held captive as new details emerged of the deadly raids by hamas and israeli vil tajs villages, towns and this music festival. yesterday savannah spoke to yoni. >> if you could speak to those who were holding them, what would you say? what would your message be? >> the message is these are babies. babies, women, families are off limits. show some decency. show some respect.

>> reporter: his wife and little girls now hostages of hamas. being blindfolded here, one arm wrapped around her daughter, her mother next to her. later we went to see yoni in person. how are you doing? >> trying to be calm. >> reporter: if there was some way that you could take their place, they could be free and you could go to gaza -- >> where do i sign? i'm willing to get killed right now for their lives. >> reporter: anything to bring them home? >> they could take me for as long as they want. >> reporter: it is a pain being shared this morning by american families. abby, an american living in israel, told lester holt she watched in horror as a hamas militant took her cousin, 12-year-old, hostage. >> it is something that no parent, no human can ever imagine. >> reporter: this israeli's father grief is universal. his only child screaming for

help as she's carried into gaza. her boyfriend, hands tied behind his back, helpless to save her. she has what so many israeli families are praying for, a video shows noah inside gaza alive and apparently uninjured. now every indication is that israel is massing its forces for a ground invasion of gaza. that would be complicated enough at the best of times. but adding to the complexity is how do you mount that offensive without harming the hostages? hoda. >> raf sanchez for us. raf, thank you. president biden is set to address the nation and the world over this situation later today. peter alexander joins us now. peter, good morning. what kind of statement is the president expected to make? >> reporter: yeah, savannah, first i should say president biden is expected to speak with benjamin netanyahu today. the president's remarks will be the first time that we hear from him on camera since we learned

at least 11 americans are among those killed overnight here at the white house, it was the blue and white, the colors of the israeli flag. the president called the enormity of the loss yesterday unfathomable and he will make sure israel has what its need to defend itself. the first batch of military aid we are told as well as a carrier strike group and f-35 fighter jets as a show of support. and acknowledging that americans are likely among those held hostage. the president ordered hostage recovery experts to israel as you can see in this photo, we'll show it to you released by the white house, the president huddled with his national security team yesterday and said a powerful statement with european allies said the terrorist actions of hamas must be universally condemned >> so we'll see the president for the first time this afternoon. meanwhile, it turns out he was being interviewed by the special council in that classified documents investigation into him. what more do you know about that >> reporter: that's right. the president's interview at the

white house says was voluntary they note it took place over the last two days. the attorney general, merrick garland, appointed a special counsel robert her last january to investigate how classified documents ended up in the biden's delaware home and at an office, mr. biden used after leaving the vice presidency. a person familiar with the matters tells me this interview was scheduled several weeks ago. notably, this is significant, the special counsel's interview with the president could signal that the investigation is almost wrapped up. savannah >> peter alexander, we'll be waiting to hear what the president says later this afternoon. thank you. 7:13 a lot more to get to welcome craig to the table craig, good morning. >> good morning to you good morning to you as well. this morning we're following a bit of an unexpected twist in the 2024 presidential race robert f. kennedy jr. has dropped his bid for the democratic nomination instead, declaring himself an independent candidate. that decision not sitting well with some, including some members of his own family. nbc's senior washington correspondent hallie jackson is

following this one for us. hallie, good morning >> reporter: hey, craig, good morning to you think about it this way, you are now seeing this 2024 race have a kennedy step away from the party that put jfk in the white house. it is a dramatic political shift for robert f. kennedy jr., raising some concerns, especially among republicans that he could play spoiler in what is expected to be a very close race for the white house a new twist this morning for the country's most famous political dynasty. >> i'm here to declare myself an independent candidate. >> reporter: robert f. kennedy jr. who entered the presidential race in april with a long-shot bid as a democratic candidate, now embracing the role as a potential third party spoiler. >> the democrats are frightened that i'm going to spoil the election for president biden republicans are frightened that i'm going to spoil it for president trump. the truth is they're both right. my intention is to -- is to spoil it for both of them.

>> reporter: the controversial candidate facing an uphill climb, currently trailing far behind the front-runners in both parties. but given he's polling at 14% in one recent survey, kennedy's entry into a tight race could shift the dynamics just enough in key swing states to make a difference the question is for who? while he's being running as a democrat, recent polls show his favorability is higher among republicans. calling kennedy's candidacy nothing more than a vanity project for a liberal kennedy to cash in on his family's name national democrats mostly silent so far about the candidate best known for his anti-vaccine advocacy and history of promoting ugly conspiracy theories. kennedy, suggesting his decision to run as an independent didn't come lightly >> it is very painful for me to let go of the party of my uncles, my father. >> reporter: four of kennedy's siblings calling his candidacy

dangerous to our country president kennedy's grandson jack schlossberg slammed his relatives. endorsed president biden >> he's trading in on camelot. >> reporter: later defending those comments here on "today. >> you said he's using camelot he's essentially abusing the family name in a way. >> i think the issues in this election are way too important for any of us to be distracted. >> hallie, let's talk about it because when you are talking about this hypothetical race and how close it could be, how concerned -- in particular, is president biden right now given that long-standing kennedy name within the democratic party? >> reporter: listen, any third party candidacy could be a total wild card here, savannah you know this. we don't have to look that far to history to see what happened with ralph nader in 2000, getting close to 100,000 states in florida a state that al gore lost by only a few hundred there is an impact close races for a third party candidate to make a difference here

specifically as it relates to rfk jr., there is that kennedy, democratic dynasty factor plays a part here. seems for democrats perhaps the bigger concern could be something like a no labels cand candidacy, a moderate gets into the race president biden just recently said, in fact that could help the other guy. he issued that warning for rfk jr those numbers we showed, hypothetically, very close race. if you're going to have president biden and former president trump the two front-runners go up against each other. remember that rfk jr. is polling better among republicans that's why you're seeing more of a full throated response and criticism to this shift from rfk jr. from the gop specifically, savannah. >> those moments in politics that could be consequential in the end. hallie, thank you very much. appreciate it. all right, guys. time to cut to the chase sorry to say, you didn't win the power ball jackpot last night, but guess what, nobody else did either that means the jackpot is on the rise once again. now stands at a staggering $1.73 billion. >> geez.

>> second largest lottery jackpot of all time. the winner can opt for a lump sum payment of 756 million drawing tomorrow night time to get back in the pool >> i mean, how about that? >> how about it? and by the way, if no one wins this time, likely becomes the largest jackpot in history. >> can still grow, by the way. let's get a check of the weather. mr. roker? >> got to be in it to win it we have cool temperatures to talk about it. good morning, everybody. we're looking at 28 million of us under frost advisories, freeze warnings as well, from fargo, north dakota, all the way to harrisburg, harrisonburg. we're looking at some chilly temperatures this morning. 38 degrees, minneapolis 40 it's 39 in indianapolis. and today for the highs, it's only going to be 55 in detroit 10 degrees cooler than normal. minneapolis even chillier at 57. look at pittsburgh, six degrees

with the kids when they were little we do reading time before bed. let's write a poem i kept them. i had a lot of them over the years. and then the pandemic hit. aaron has been a student at pratt, an art student. and she's gotten better and better at art. i said, i'll rewrite one or two a week you do the drawings and see what we get >> erin, do you have a strong memory of when you were little and these poems just kind of started tumbling out >> i was so little i was like 4 or 5. but i do remember sitting in my brother's bedroom, my dad would sit in this purple velvet rocking chair and lights be low and we would volley back and forth like a little writer's room but with a 4-year-old and 6-year-old and a dad it was very fun. >> that is the cutest. we talked how this means a lot to you. >> yeah. >> will you describe again what that is. you get to do it with your daughter. >> well, i'll tell you, we all take pictures and make videos of us and our kids.

but nothing takes me back to sitting in that chair with two kids reading books or talking to them like looking at these old poems that we did together so i would just -- the book encourages kids to write and to have fun with words. but i think -- i hope it also encourages parents and grandparents to grab a piece of paper and write a poem with your kids because 15 years from now, you'll read that you'll see what the kid wrote because the kids wrote a lot of the lines. and you will just go right back in time to sitting with them >> i know you -- you were on with me, i don't know, maybe it was two years ago right after your health scare. i remember that i felt like your whole life snapped into focus. >> yeah. >> if it was out of focus a little, it snapped in. >> yeah. >> have those lessons endured? >> yeah. it's so funny you just showed paul newman because paul newman did an interview once and they asked him if you knew what you know now when you were younger, what would you do different?

and he said, i would work less and i remember thinking, but you did great stuff. >> yeah. why would you do that? but now i think i know after the heart attack you need a little space in your life to take in the people around you and the experiences you're having just to have memories and to really value what you're going through. so, i'm trying to put that in my life and i have been working at that and i think doing a good job >> erin, what's it like having this guy as your dad >> it's lots of things he's very silly. he's very serious. he works a lot but he also kind of makes fun of the world a lot. and that was so fun growing up we have a great poem in here about our doctor that's based on a real impression you would do of our childhood doctor and we had a lot of comedians and comedy around the house. >> the doctor had a very -- i would do the zr saying this child needs more hot fudge in their system he kind of ran his words together and talked real slow.

and so, yeah, i was always doing voices and characters. >> what was the best advice your dad gave you >> more than a piece of advice, i have a strong memory of being 18 and having just moved to new york and getting dinner with him. and suddenly being very emotional about having this piece of home after being away from home for so long. and kind of feeling confused and lost, as you do at that age. and he just kind of looked at me and was like, you know, i get it i've been there. i was literally in new york when i was that age and i felt that way, too and he was in new york but he was writing for "snl". >> he gave you great advice. this is a great book i'm going to end with this wait good morning. i'm marcus washington. breaking right now, a live look at westbound traffic on i-580 at

the richmond san rafael bridge plaza where late last night a big rig driver died when his truck slammed into a toll booth. how's the latest traffic impact? >> it's like you see on the screen. those right lanes remain blocked. we're looking at the dumpster pulled over here into the far right lane. a toll booth right here was impacted by the big rig. there was grease and other fluids spilled that they had to clean up. the cleanup crew has stopped for the time being. the right three lanes are blocked. four are open. some folks did take the northern route. it looks like more traffic comes down off of 37 through san rafael. backup continues for 24.
