one. we'll start this hour with that race to the white house. election day now just 13 days away. >> vice president kamala harris is in pennsylvania for a town hall. donald trump is campaigning in georgia. vice president harris' running mate walz has voted early today. >> it's comments by former president trump's former white house chief of staff that are getting a lot of attention today. saying that trump would rule like a dictator if he got back into the white house. praised hitler and his generals while in office. >> he commented more than once that "you know, hitler did some good things, too,," of course if

you know history, again, i think he's lacking in that, you know what hitler was all about, pretty hard to make an argument he did anything good. >> let's bring in hallie jackson, we'll get to your interview with vice president harris from last night in a moment but i want to start with fallout from john kelly's remarks, the vice president actually addressed those earlier today. how did she react if. >> reporter: she did. she made a point of coming out of the residence where she lives here in washington to react to this news. part of her argument as she enters the last 13 days of this race to make the case of a second trump term would be worst than the first. >> it's deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that donald

trump would invoke hitler, the man who's responsible for the deaths of 6 million cjews and hundreds of thousands of americans. all of this is further evidence for the american people of who donald trump really is. >> reporter: you hear it there. the vice president has been on the campaign trail and having listened to many of her campaign events she makes the case at every stop that even those in former president's inner circle, have concerns about him. this is part and parcel of what the vice president's campaign has been trying to get out there and part of her closing argument here. the trump campaign has called kelly's comments stories that are essentially debunked here. >> hallie, to that end, how

could this impact former president trump as we enter into the home stretch here in. >> reporter: it's not clear, right the trump campaign has said that john kelly is fabricating and making up these stories, books out about the trump presidency that have been written by those who have covered former president trump, illusions to this, this is notable this "the new york times" interview, john kelly himself on the record directly, it's his voice, his words, not interpreted through another author or book, et cetera, but there's also the argument people generally know who donald trump is by this point the vice president's campaign believes there's more reminding people about that, they're trying to aim their message at moderate republicans, at independents, the persuadable and late-deciding voters, they believe they can try to reach these voters who may not like donald trump, who haven't yet crossed that bridge to get

behind kamala harris just yet. they're trying to make the case the vice president told me with these 13 days until election night. >> your interview with vice president harris, you talked about the transfer of power after election day and abortion rights. talk to us about that part of the conversation. >> the talk of reproductive rights, the economy, immigration, former president leads vice president harris on those issues, but not on the issue of abortion access. her campaign is really making the bet by focusing on this they'll be able to mobilize voters, to turn out democrats and harris supporters to back her in this. she's heading to texas later in the week, that's not a traditional presidential battleground, it's place that has one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country, she's using this to highlight what she sees as this urgent life or death priority for women around the country as we talk

about that gender gap in this race as well. the question is, if republicans win control of congress, if they win the senate and it's spirely possible that would happen, the balance of power is very close right now, the question is, would she be willing to offer any concessions on this issue. >> so prague mattism, what concessions. >> i don't think we should be talking about concessions when talking about making decisions about your body. >> the issue at stake and where things stand. >> hallie, thank you so much. if you haven't watched the entire interview that hallie did with the vice president it's worth sitting and watching.

there's a lot in it. hallie, thanks so much. u.s. intelligence officials say they're monitoring the possibility that russia or iran may try to incite violence or disruptive protests after election day. >> a new unclassified details not only this warning and says election interference is already under way. nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian is following this for us. ken, let's tstart with the current threats, how are the foreign actors are trying to influence our election? >> reporter: u.s. intelligence officials described how a russian-backed group created a fake video making false allegations that tim walz had

abused his students, the post drew millions of views on social media last week. making fabricated allegations of the abuse. they say this part of a vast russia's disinformation campaign to help donald trump. they say china and iran have been interfering and iran wants trump to lose. >> can all of that said, what should we be on alert for after the election and what are your intelligence sources? >> another alarming part of this. this new assessment said that russia, china, iran will seek to exploit america's vulnerabilities in that period. they may seek to stoke violence and promote bogus claims of fraud.

the bottom line is, u.s. adversaries perceive a window of vulnerability to promote disinformation from election day until the election is certified during that joint session of congress january 6th. millions of americans are open to this message. time now for today's money minute. amazon prime is adding a discount on gas. >> the joke sequel is heading home after a month in theaters, contessa brewer joins us now. amazon prime members have a new perk, ten cents off every gallon of gas at the pump. along with being a prime member you need bp loyalty program. amazon plans to add an electric vehicle discount next year. after spending less than a month in theaters the joke sequel is heading for a home

increased appetite, and fatigue are also common. side effects may not appear for several weeks. i didn't have to change my treatment. i just gave it a lift. ask about vraylar and learn how abbvie could help you save. feeling ughh from a backed up gut? ughh. miralax works naturally with the water in your body to help you go. free your gut and your mood will follow. for 8 grams of fiber, try mirafiber gummies. patients who have sensitive teeth but also want whiter teeth, they have to make a choice- one versus the other. new sensodyne clinical white, it provides 2 shades whiter teeth as well as providing 24/7 sensitivity protection. patients are going to love to see sensodyne on the shelf. when my doctor gave me breztri for my copd... i noticed things changed. breztri gave me better breathing starting within 5 minutes. it also reduced flare-ups. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler... for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it.

died. joining us now is maura barrett. maura, good to see you. what do we know right now about exactly what caused this outbreak, the numbers of those infected expected to rise at this point. >> reporter: everyone from the cdc to the usda to the fda are investigating where this could have come from. they point to the quarter pounder beef patty and slivered onions that go on that quarter pounder. the time line around how long this has gone on, the numbers right now are about two-week range from september 27th to october 11th. and so there's some wiggle room in there. our team spoke with the outbreak prevention department with the cdc who outlined how that might play out. >> we fully expect to have more

illnesses reported. that at this point is going to be driven by people who have eaten a quarter pounder before mcdonald's took those actions. >> reporter: so, by taking those actions the mcdonald's did remove the quarter pounder from the affected stores of these outbreaks are tied back to, that equals about one-fifth of all total mcdonald's stores across the country. >> how else is mcdonald's responding at this point. ? >> reporter: the quarter pounder in this area of affected could equal 1 million affected. they're adamant they took proactive action removing them from the menu, they wrote in a statement saying they're taking swift and decisive action.

they also factored in the idea that the onions impacted might be on other products on the breakfast menu specifically but they're tying it back to supplier, the supplier doesn't hit those areas with breakfast items. they feel confident removing the quarter pounder from the menu will be all set. former hollywood mogul harvey weinstein appeared in court today in new york, this was his first court appearance since his cancer diagnosis was made public just days ago, nbc news correspondent rehema ellis has been following the latest for us in court. what was the purpose of today's hearing and what's happened so far? >> reporter: this hearing was because the defense attorney for harvey weinstein went to court asking that two cases against him, separate cases, not be combined, what happened was, the

judge had decided that he wanted to take up this case because the prosecutor's office, when the 2020 conviction for rape against harvey weinstein was overturned earlier this year the prosecution said it was not going to go away with that, they were going to re-try him. they wanted to put the two cases together, saying it would be a duplication and cost the city and county too much money to try these cases separately. his defense objected. today before the court, the judge agreed. these cases can be combined and it will be combined and he'll stand trial on both cases at the same time. kate. >> okay, that's a victory for the prosecution there. rehema, this case, this hearing, this case in new york, is here, but it's also important to note that he was also convict of

similar crimes in los angeles, what's the latest with that case and could this progress happening here in new york impact the california case? >> hard to say whether or not this case will impact california but california impacted this case when the first case against harvey weinstein here was overturned he didn't get a get out of jail card, because he's been convicted in california as well, that case is also under appeal right now, so he's got cases on two coasts here in new york and also in california that he's dealing with, we don't know the outcome of any of them at this moment. but, again the case in california is under appeal and we don't know what happened in new york will impact what's happening in california. >> rehema, appreciate it. coming up, why former new york city mayor and former trump lawyer rudy giuliani is being told to turn over some of his most prized possessions

courtroom today. prosecutors are trying to discredit key testimony from a key witness in the murder trial of nima momeni. he's accused of killing cashapp founder bob lee. nbc bay area's ginger conejero saab joins us from the courthouse. the witness at the center of this is still kawsar momeni. she is the sister of nima momeni, the man who is on trial for the murder of bob lee. this is the fourth day that she is on the witness stand. she arrived this morning with her mother at the courthouse, which has been pretty typical of the past almost a week now. she has been subpoenaed as a witness for the prosecution and continues her testimony on redirect this

morning. what is different today is the tone of her testimony, which has been combative even hostile at times between herself and prosecutors. now, there have been a long list of objections, a number of sidebar conversations between defense attorneys, prosecutors and the judge. and not too long ago, the court recessed for a brief break. the emotions at that point very tense with bob lee's family and his ex-wife leaving the courtroom distraught by the testimony of miss momeni. now that testimony specifically focuses on text messages that were sent after the death of bob lee. miss maney has characterized texts from bob lee's family as intimidating and threatening. bob lee's family, completely disagreeing with that and upset with that characterization. we anticipate that this redirect will continue through the day and a possible recross examination from defense attorneys for miss momeni in san francisco, ginger conejero saab

nbc bay area news. thanks for the update, ginger. we are learning a small brush fire in the santa cruz mountains is now out. it started this morning on matilija drive in los gatos near highway nine. this is time lapse video showing how close it was burning to some nearby homes. santa clara county fire says the fire burned about an acre. no reports of injuries and no homes damaged. it's not clear yet how this fire started. sunshine across most of the bay area today. here's meteorologist kari hall with our forecast. our wednesday afternoon temperatures are looking nice and comfortable for much of the bay area, but a little bit warmer than what's normal for the end of october. we're headed for upper 70s and low 80s for the inland east bay, as well as the north bay, while san francisco will be in the low 70s with lots of sunshine. we'll set it on repeat tomorrow with a cold morning and some of our temperatures in the south bay in the mid 70s. upper 70s for dublin and livermore, and 78 degrees in santa rosa. friday

we're also going to be a little bit warmer with highs in the low to mid 80s in the south county, but mostly upper 70s elsewhere. we will see changes ahead in our seven-day forecast. we'll take a look coming up in about 30 minutes. a lovely week. thank you kerry. there could be a way to limit the risk of wildfires. that's what leaders in orinda and moraga are saying right now. the fire district wants to create what it calls a new ember resistant zone. homeowners would have to clear all flammable vegetation within five feet of their home. the hope to reduce the chance of wildfires from spreading. the mayor of orinda, darlene gia, says enforcing an ordinance like this might get some backlash, but there is data that suggests this plan works and it is very well researched. so it is based on actual science. it's not a it's not a theory, but it is also one that's going to be a very, very tough thing for people to accept if it's decided to be the best

solution that research suggests ember resistant zones work best when more than 30% of homes on a block comply. this proposed ordinance would be one of the strongest rules to protect homes from wildfire risk. the goal also to get insurance carriers to return to accepting californians. the next fire district meeting november 20th. the official tip off for the warriors. the team went undefeated during the preseason, but that won't matter now. the warriors start the new season on the road in portland tonight. no more klay thompson, who moved to dallas, but newcomers including buddy hield and de'anthony melton will line up alongside steph curry and draymond green. the team is hosting a viewing party tonight outside chase. for fans who want to brave the fall chill. it's also a couple of weeks until election day and a lot on the ballot this year. we are helping you get informed, get out your phone, scan that qr code on your screen. it will take you to our full voter guide with all the information on key

in the region but called it a quote serious issue if the plan is for those soldiers to support the kremlin's war in ukraine. today south korean lawmakers claimed that north korea has sent 3,000 troops to russia so far. and on tuesday ukraine's president claimed as many as 12,000 north korean troops were being trained for deployment. a federal judge has ordered former donald trump attorney and mayor of new york city rude giuliani to turn valuable possessions to georgia election workers. seven days to transfer the assets, his manhattan apartment, 27 luxury watches, his vintage mercedes-benz. it's all part of a nearly $150 million civil judgment for defaming the workers after the 2020 election. giuliani's lawyer released a statement arguing that the judgment will be reversed after appeal. former los angeles dodger pitcher fernando valenzuela has

died at the age of 63. he won a national league cy young award and rookie of the year in 1981. the iconic pitcher's death comes just days before his beloved dodgers play the yankees in the world series. many voters are telling nbc news that one of top issues driving them to the polls this election season is the cost of living. >> more specifically, the price of buying or renting a home. shelter has been hit hard by inflation. the data from nbc news home-buying index, it measures the relatively difficult of buying a home by comparing counties nationwide. for some key counties in battleground states buying a home is getting slightly easier. let's bring in christine romans.

the big picture here on the housing market, overall, what are the main challenges right now? >> reporter: the big picture b here, 30-year fixed rated mortgage, to buy a home, 6.44%. it's improving. our home-buying index shows difficult conditions overall, you can see that number relatively high and the median home price here, record highs up 4% in the past year, up 30% over the past four years, so housing is expensive. it's really at the center of both candidates here and what they're saying they're going to do to make it better. vice president harris said she would help build 3 million homes over the next four years. 25,000 downpayment for home buying. donald trump said he would ban

undocumented immigrants from buying. that's very small number. two platforms here to deal with difficult housing. >> christine, can we zero in on a key political counties in battleground states? the data there and what home buyers are experiencing. >> cobb county, georgia, went for clinton and enmore for biden. things are getting better. suburbs of atlanta. the expanded down payment system for teachers -- firefighters, military members and nurses, that's been something that's really worked there overall, that's cobb county. brown county, wisconsin, green bay, you can see this is solidly trump company things are getting worse there, lot of demand from

retirees and first-time buyers. it depends on what critical county in critical state you see. >> on that index the higher number the worst it is. >> absolutely right. the higher the number the worst it is. >> christine, thank you. american airlines has been ordered to fine a record fine over its treatment of disabled flyers, the department of transportation fined american $50 million, it comes after an investigation into the airline revealed cases where the airline wheelchair received undig any fied treatment. tom costello joins us from washington. transportation secretary pete buttigieg said this is highest penalty levvied against. >> reporter: the d.o.t. said

25-times larger than any previous d.o.t. penalty for violating disabled-related regulations that the d.o.t. has, bottom line, american airlines is accused by the d.o.t. of being amid the worst offenders of how they treat disabled customers and their wheelchairs. thousands of wheelchairs according to the d.o.t. damaged by american airlines. imagine what that means for a customer who can't get to where he or she is going. wheelchairs cost thousands of dollars and then you're struggling to try to replace it and you can't get to your destination. bottom line from the d.o.t. secretary buttigieg. he said that we at d.o.t. are essentially moving forward with a new plan here, he said tolerating -- the era of tolerating poor treatment of airline passengers with disabilities is over, with this penalty he says we're setting the standard of accountability for airlines that violate the

civil rights of passengers with disabilities. here's how the $50 million fine breaks down. 25 million will go to the treasury. 25 goes to passenger compensation, equipment upgrades. >> has american said anything else about this whole fine. >> reporter: they're paying the fine and they settled. here's their statement, american has a long-standing commitment to serving passengers with disabilities. as you know, kate, we've seen these videos go viral of wheelchairs being thrown around, down on the runway, tarmac, getting broken, a lot of this is going to come down to training their personnel to do better. >> tom, thank you. as we close in on election day, there's one number you'll

hear over and over again. 270, the number of electoral votes a candidate needs to reach in order to win the presidency, where does that number come from and why doesn't the candidate who gets the most votes win, here's the electoral college simply explained. >> it's the most unusual college in the country. >> reporter: the electoral college is almost as old as the country itself. constitutionally challenged more than 800 times. >> the electoral college is -- >> you need the electoral college which is much tougher than the popular vote. >> reporter: the electoral college is a system where americans don't vote directly for a presidential candidate. each state gets a number of electors, they choose their state's winning candidate. in 48 states and d.c. the candidate winning the state's popular vote gets all of the states electoral votes.

>> each state shall have an equal vote. >> reporter: it started as a compromise between our founding fathers in 1787. >> then there was slavery. >> we saw slave states try not to count slaves as people. or partially counted to increase their population numbers. >> reporter: the founding fathers gave states the power to select electors. today, the united states has a total of 538 electors, a moo jarty of 270 votes is needed to win the presidency. usually the candidate who wins 270 also wins the popular vote. but not always. like in 1876, when hayes lost the popular vote but won by one electoral vote. in 2016, when former secretary

of state hillary clinton lost despite beating trump in the popular vote. >> reporter: jesse argues against the electoral college. >> almost 5 million votes is the average of margin in the 21st century. these elections appear closer. >> reporter: in an op-ed supports the electoral college. >> they're unpredictable. you change the architecture of the system, you change just about everything else. >> reporter: they agree a change to the electoral college would not come easily. as of april 202417 states and d.c. are leaning toward the popular vote. all electoral votes to the winner of the majority. still for the upcoming election,

the electoral college remains. that's the electoral college simply explained. before election day the electoral college has a major impact on the way the presidential candidates actually run their campaigns. with that in mind how the electoral college is shaping this year's election. with steve kornacki. based on the polls this is really liking one of the closest elections in recent history, how is the structure of the electoral college influencing how both candidates are campaigning. >> basically look at the states that you have in gray on this map and these are the states that are getting the lion share of attention from these candidates. the presidential candidates, the vp candidates because these states are the ones where the polls are the closest, toss-up states. each campaign thinks they have a pretty good chance of winning them. one campaign thinks it's --

trump campaign look at these red states, north dakota, south dakota, wyoming, idaho, they think they've got those states safely in hand, democrats agree. democrats look at illinois, new york state, new jersey, california, places like that, they think they've got those safely in hand and republicans agree. not a ton of money at least in the presidential race in those states. it gets concentrated in these swing states, in terms of outside influence because the voters in those states have a ton of influence. one thing to keep in mind is, this is sort of battleground territory, it does change over time. it can change pretty dramatically and pretty quickly. not long ago a state like georgia wouldn't have been among them. state like arizona wouldn't be

among them. this year seven states. we'll see what it is in 2028. >> steve, thanks so much. up next, an important conversation about talking to children about loss. >> what you can say to help the kids in uryo life navigate grief ahead on "nbc ne daily". ws

san francisco is in crisis and we need real experienced leadership. we need mark farrell. our interim mayor who got things done. who showed we can clear tent encampments, fight crime, and address the drug crisis. who will make the tough choices for our city's future. "i'm mark farrell. i'm running for mayor because san francisco deserves better." "i'm ready to deliver that change on day one." mark farrell. a proven leader with the experience we need. this today's modern parenting we're discussing a

challenging but important topic. how to talk to your kids about grief. >> the conversation is back in the spotlight after a recent exchange between actor andrew garfield and sesame street's elmo wentviral. >> i'm just thinking about my mom today. she passed away not too long ago. i just miss her. >> i'm sad to hear that, mr. andrew. >> that's okay. it's okay to miss somebody. >> it is? >> oh, yeah. >> elmo feels sad when he misses somebody. >> me, too. me too. but that sadness is a gift, it is a lovely thing to feel in a way, because it means you loved somebody if you miss them. >> i'm tearing up again. joining us to talk about this is family psychologist jennifer

hartstein. it moves you because it's all so real and talk about the conversation and especially what were they communicating that's hitting us so hard here. >> there's something beautiful in this interaction. there's a connection. right, he's in it. he's present for andrew garfield in a way we want people to be present for us in moments of loss and grief. >> it's so powerful. with kids it may manifest differently than parents expect. what should they be lookingfor when it comes to grief. >> it's a really important question, we think of grief as this linear thing, it's process, for kids, you might see they're playing and seem fine and then all of a sudden they're not okay. or they're regressing in their behaviors or more anxious. they'll stay connected to you.
