and it is good to be with you on this thursday. i'm geoff bennett and we start with a 1 in 500 weather event from maryland to massachusetts. far more catastrophic than expected catching much of the northeast off guard. the officials say that at least 25 people have died and a massive search and rescue mission is under way. after that record shattering rainfall in new york, new jersey and pennsylvania. those three states absolutely walloped by the remnants of hurricane ida. now right now, rescues are under way in philadelphia with the officials going house-to-house to save people who didn't have enough time or warning to evacuate. now, this is drone video that we just got into the newsroom, and it is from bridgeport, pennsylvania, there in montgomery county outside of philadelphia where the officials say that at least three people have died. now with the historic rainfall unleashing flash flooding along with the reports of tornadoessh

-- tornadoes, and this is worth repeating, new york and new jersey wracked up a 1 in 500-year event rainfall. and experts are saying this is now the new normal. >> there are no more cataclysmic events. we need to be prepared. >> the world is changing and these storms are more frequently, a i promise that we will stay with everybody and it won't be a short road, but we will stay with them on that road to recovery. >> and it is not just in the northeast, and people in louisiana and mississippi are still dealing with ida's devastation, and more than a million customers are without power right now, and the temperatures there are brutally hot. earlier today, president biden said that he would do whatever it takes to get the help wherever it is needed most. >> we are all in this together. the nation is here to help. we are making sure the response

and recovery is equitable. so for those hit hardest get the resources they need and not left behind. >> joining us now are the msnbc anchor yas mean vossoughian, and michelle grossman is here with the latest, and anne thompson, and so, yasmin, what is the situation right now? >> well, first, geoff, it is something that you see when you come to the communities devastated by floodings, storms or earthquakes or storm, and you have seen it, it is all-hands-on-deck for the community, and the volunteers out with the yellow hats and the shop vacs coming to folks knowing that the houses here along the roadway were completely flooded. this street was totally and absolutely flooded. at 5:00 they were bringing the generators and that, because

there is no power here. let me walk you here, and before i do, i want you to swing around, j.p., and show you this car here. this tesla here, it does not belong to this house, geoff. it floated from the neighbor's house to the front of this house in the middle of the night. the own over this tesla lives in ground floor of this house, and he had to crawl out of his window to get to the higher ground, because the water was overwhelming the resident, and now i want to show you that if you will roll with me, the interior of the home, because it is painting a picture for folks how devastating the flooding was, and from what i understand, the folks here have been telling me, and -- j.p., come slowly, because there is muddy material here on the floor, and i don't want the cameraman to slip -- but this is a home near the river, but they say they have

never seen anything as devastating as this ever. and now, coming into the home, and look at the living room, it is completely muddied and the water line, if you can see, and it is dark. but can you see it there? the waterline is about, and i'm 5'10" and it is about to my shoulders and that is how high the water line came, and this is complete devastation. completely ruined. this is the dining area, and they will have to do complete reconstruction to start over, and the lovely couple who owns this home, and they have been working all morning, and hi, guys. thank you for letting us come into the house, and this is the devastating. >> yes, and unfortunately not the first time and it will unfortunately happen again. >> reporter: what was it like last night for you? >> stuff crashing and banging and falling over, and the refrigerator and the bar and the wine rack and everything is crashing over and breaking stuff.

>> reporter: were you asleep when it was happening and you saw the water coming up? >> yes. >> what happened? >> with a flashlight. >> reporter: did you come down the stairs? >> three steps from the top, because the water was at the landing and came up six steps. >> reporter: and did you think that we have to get out? >> you can't get out at that point in time. we went to bed at 11:00, and nothing was flooded yet. the street was still fine. and later at night, woke up, and the water is in. >> reporter: you said that you have dealt with the flooding before? >> yes. >> reporter: does this make you think that it is time to move on or what? >> well, they keep saying they are going to fix the river, but nothing happens, and it took them six years to do the five-year study and then rejected it and another year to do a study and now they accept it, but they can't get funding. >> reporter: what now? did you file the insurance claim? >> yes, at 2:00 this morning you

filed. >> reporter: good luck and i am so sorry for you dealing with the devastating loss. >> nobody wants to buy our home, and this is why we are here. >> good luck, and there is a volunteer group of people out there helping you and i am hoping that you can get that help as well. you can see how incredibly devastating this flooding is for folks in this area, and they feel like what else are we supposed to do here, and we have been talk about at the weather events in the south with hurricane ida,ed a right here, and a lot of the worst in our coverage, and lot of folks are feeling that at home now, and recognizing that something is going on, and they not necessarily sure what to do next, but right now for the folks here in the northeast and in westchester and the area it is to clean up and rebuild. >> i bet it is the same house to house on that street, yasmin.

and >> yes. >> and in new york city, many people were taken by surprise of this storm. >> well, they shouldn't have been, geoff, because the weathermen told us what was coming, and what surprised us was the veracity of the storm. we got more than three inches orain in one hour. three inches in manhattan and more than 7 inches in a short period of time which led to dramatic flooding scenes here in new york city. in fact, the new york police department just tweeted out that they rescued a pregnant woman and her husband from a flooded roadway inn the bronx last night. one of several in the area, and they said they have rescued several from roadways and subways. there are dramatic pictures of the new york subway system

flooding particularly at 28th street with the water gushing in. today it is trying to recover from all of that damage. several lines are suspended, and many of the lines are delayed and the mta is still asking people, look, if you didn't have to travel today, please don't, because they need this time to get the system back up and running. geoff. >> so michelle, talk to us about the records this storm set and how it got so bad so quickly. >> yeah. hi, there. it is another record book of ida. we saw a lot of rain quickly as anne said. anne said it perfectly, stay off of the streets right now. water is the number one weather killer, and it happens fast. there a lot of power to it. what happened was that we were saturated with what came through with fred and henri, and record rainfall in july and august and then adding ida's remains on top of the oit.

so ida merged with a front to give it lift and power, and so this happened quickly, and we saw three to four inches in some spots. typically we will get this in a month that we saw in a few hours. so this is the 24-hour loop. you see the dark clouds and thunderstorms and we had severe thunderstorms coming through, a we had a wedge tornado coming through, and typically little rain-wrapped once, and ef-0 or ef-1, but this is one that you would think oklahoma or tornado alley. so you can see a lot of rain in a short amount of time. and so 6.59 inches, and 8.44 in newark, and that is one of the bull's eye, and newark and new york, and we set an hourly rainfall, and 3.15 in new york city. geoff, it is devastating and heartbreaking, and it is historical, and i do think it is becoming part of the norm. that is a bigger story.

>> yeah, historic and heartbreaking indeed. michelle grossman and ya min vossoughian there on the ground, and anne thompson. on the phone is democratic candidate for mayor eric adams, and if you can, can you bring us up to recovery efforts there in brooklyn. >> thank you so much for having me. you know, i was out until about 4:00 a.m. this morning watching an unprecedented just display of the power of water in our city. for the first time in our life, i saw the inability of the brooklyn bridge going into manhattan and it was flooded going throughout the borough and crown heights was flooded and there was almost 5.6 inches of rain, and so when you woke up today, you were hit with the

devastation. we had nine people who died and visited the house in queens with two family members, the son and a mother was killed from the water, the inflow of the water, and this is traumatizing for all new yorkers. >> president biden said today that he is going to give new york state and new york city whatever resources you need. what is at the top of the list? >> well, number one, we have to look at the areas and in particular where the sewage build-out has failed. it is clear we cannot remove the water off of the streets in a timely fashion, and it is going to spill over into the toil let lets and the basements, and this is going to cause problems. today, some of the basements and infrastructure had cracks so we need a build-out of the sewer system, and talking to many areas, we are not seeing the water removing from the system as rapidly as it should.

the agencies have to do their jobs. i have been to several place where is the catch basins is were clogged and we had grass growing out of the basins, and it clearly shows that we have not been cleaning them on a regular basis. so there is a partnership needed with all of the agencies to deal with this new influx of weather crises that we are facing. >> yes, let me ask you this, because you talked about how the brooklyn bridge was impassable, and i used to live in brooklyn and near brooklyn hill of the bqe, and i saw the brooklyn expressway looking like a pond. so there is a question of when there is a natural calamities the boroughs seem to be hit the hardest, and why is that? >> that is great question. >> historically, that is the manhattan structure where the

biggest resiliency the business district, but particularly on the outer districts, brooklyn is a major place for businesses to open and grow which we have shown in the amazing economy in the downtown area resembling manhattan and we have taller buildings, and infrastructure is needed, so we have to re-think of how to deal with the climate change, and it is more than building a wall around the city, because as you know, this is not about tide increases, and not about a full moon, but it is about constant rain flow. when i was out there, i have never seen anything like that before in my life. >> eric adams is the current brooklyn borough president, and current candidate for the mayor of new york. and we thank you for your

thoughts and what the people are dealing with this storm. and a storm of a different kind that hit like a thunder bolt. there was an emergency appeal to allow the strictest abortion law in the nation to take effect. the state will ban abortion as sooned as the doctor can detect a heartbeat which is six weeks. that is before many know they are pregnant, and there are no exceptions for rape or incest. other states controlled by republicans are taking note including mississippi headed to the supreme court in the fall. the case they can use to overturn "roe v. wade" in place since 1973, the landmark ruling. 12 other states have enacted bans since early pregnancy, but all have been blocked. the texas law takes an approach that we have not seen before. it is written to sidestep review by federal courts, because instead of the state and the

local officials to enforce it, it is private citizens and perfect strangers to bring lawsuits against anybody involved in the abortion including anybody who drives them for an abortion, and if they win in court, they are entitled to like $10,000, like a bounty, and that is how this texas law works. joining us is "boston globe" columnist, kimberly atkins storr, and also, analyst dahlia barr. and so, dahlia, while this is tougher for clinics and advocacy groups to find a single target to sue, and that is harder to establish standing in court, and so looking through the ruling looking at justice breyer, i

don't see why, you know, that fact should make a critical legal difference, and this is the critical legal difference, it is not? >> yes, geoff, you said it right. the law was constructed precisely to do that. so in a weird paradoxical way, what the supreme court did last night by a 5-4 margin is saying that they wrote this law to completely evade judicial review, and so judicial review evaded and nothing we can do. and then you say, holy cow, they overruled roe in texas for 90% of women who don't know they are pregnant necessarily at six weeks and they are saying it is a jurisdictional problem, and it is jurisdictional problem by design. >> and you write that it is one of the problems that we are

seeing is that after four years of shouting imaginable, everything is happening quiet. and elena kagan criticized the court for the alliance of the shadow docket, this emergency docket to make decisions of major importance to the country without a full debate. >> yeah, the shadow docket has become a kind of the routine event for the supreme court where they just decide things in these emergency motions. there is no argument below, and often no record below, and no cases brief, nothing. just a late night order, and unsigned order where the court simply says that within much reasoning, a page and a half of reasoning, no, no injunction and we don't know the basis of that and how to proceed, and more and more frequently, that is how the supreme court is deciding death

penalty questions, and questions about covid closures and how they decided to let this texas law stand. >> and kim, ultimately, we don't know what is going to come of this, and the court could get a similar case that bans abortion at 15 weeks later in the term, but there is a trump appointee who said that he would only put on the court if they were devoted to overturning roe. >> and we do know a lot by letting this law go in texas, to go into effect, and a law that constitutionally violates "roe v. wade" and that there are five votes to overturn "roe v. wade" and they told us without voting. that is concerning, because you can see the states moving forward with their own challenges as well to sort of

fortify this full frontal assault on the precedent of "roe" and so there is a number of things that we do know. certainly, we did hear from the former president himself that he did have an abortion litmus test for the justices, and that he installed all three justices on to the court. so this is no big secret, and even though, even chief justice john g. roberts when he rejected the idea that this should be decided on the shadow docket as dahlia explained, he, himself, he has expressed the view that "roe v. wade" was wrongly decided so i think very likely six votes to overturn it, and that is the ultimate outcome on this. one other thing that i am worried about is this approach to have citizens to enforce laws instead of state actors can be

applied in other ways, and voters challenging other voter's vote, and this can be to statues for lbgtq rights and bathrooms they choose, and it does not have to stop at just abortion rights. i am on the look out for that, too. >> and dahlia, chief justice broke with the conservatives on this, and what is his concern? concerned about overturning precedent or being viewed through a partisan lenses? >> no, i think that kimberly has it right. it is principally optics, if he had waited to decide the mississippi case, and the 15-week ban, and you would have had a 6-3 case, and the reason

that john roberts voted with the dissenters is that it is awful when the court hands a back of the napkin order without acknowledging the constitutional question simply saying that our hands are tied, and i hope that someone works this out. it looks terrible, and it looks unseemly, and to do it in the middle of the night on the shadow docket while women in texas are demonstrably suffering the outcomes of having the law to go into effect, it looks sloppy and terrible and one thing that we can say without a doubt with john roberts is that he is taking the optics of how serious, how sober and how gravitas the court is very, very seriously, and unlike the five in the majority, he was not willing to do the back of the napkin slap of the back work to be done in a completely different case in a few weeks. >> president biden in a statement said that he is promising a whole of government

approach to this and democrats and activists say they want to see more, and congress to codify roe into law, and a conversation of expanding the supreme court. so thank you both so much. still ahead, we will continue the coverage of the unprecedented weather of the northeast to the south. we will go to louisiana where people are without power after ida, and as we mentioned it is brutally hot. plus, they were in a 12-story condo building when it collapsed in florida. now survivors of that day speak about escaping death. and liz cheney is named vice chair of the january 6 committee, and the backlash from the fellow republicans coming up. epublicans coming up. ♪ [triumphantly yells] [ding] don't get mad. get e*trade. it only takes a second for an everyday item

thompkins, and what is the significance and how many leverage? >> it is a significant move that gives liz cheney more power and a big part of the reason is that the democrats on the committee including of course, benny thompson want this to be seen as a bipartisan and investigation that is devoid of politics. this is evident when they put her on the committee to begin with, and elevating her to the two position is a show of confidence in her even though she is at loggerheads with the democratic party with this $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, and at odds with the president with the withdrawal of afghanistan troops, and so they believe this is a show, and attempt by the democrats to convey they won't let other political disagreements get in the way of the desire to get to the truth of this, and of course, liz cheney has accepted that position.

>> sahil kapur with that update. and now, joining us is joe neguse who sits on the democratic committee, and first, the reaction of liz cheney's elevation to vice chair of the january 6th committee, and we also have a letter from andy biggs to what is the usual suspects and say it respectfully of the conservative republicans who had it out with her, and marjorie taylor green, and louie gohmert, and others. >> good afternoon, geoff. i am not surprised of the opposition from the usual suspects as you said. i think it is a thoughtful and smart decision by speaker pelosi. as you know, geoff, the vice chairs are a member of the majority party on committees, and so this decision is indicative of the fact that the house democratic caucus does not see this through the prism of

politics. it is an investigation of ensuring that we get to the bottom of what happened on january 6th and that terrible day and that the assault of our democracy does not happen again. and speaker pelosi is committed to ensure accountability, and do whatever it takes to protect democracy for the american people as well as liz cheney. so this is the appointment of vice chair will underscore the bipartisan nature of this committee. it is about the truth and protecting our republic. >> as we are focusing on the committee's work, you have kevin mccarthy saying that any company who cooperates with this order to preserve the social media of lawmakers, and we know that it includes with him, and jim jordan to have spokewen the president that day, and if there is nothing to hide, why are they

making these threats? >> that is a reasonable question to ask, geoff. i have to say that i found that what minority leader did in terms of the public statements that he did with the telecom companies to be offensive and so many have raised the question of the that conduct could have violated statutes, because it is a congressional investigation, and they are to be subpoenas that are lawful, and the paries are require and obligated to comply with those, and to the extent that you have private parties or members of congress telling individuals and other third parties not to participate or to comply with lawfully issued requests for information or subpoenas raises serious issues under federal law, and i think constitutional concerns of the ability of the house representatives to conduct investigations of such

importance. >> we are talking to you on the day that we are watching in realtime the flood rescues in northeast. you can see it there at the bottom of the screen. we have heard from the democrats who have made the case that the current infrastructure bill, the one that the house is set to build on, it does not do enough to affect or to incorporate the effects of climate change, and the infrastructure that it is calling for is not climate resilient. and what is your view of that? >> geoff, i don't think that i necessarily heard that criticism. in particular with the reconciliation bill. the build back belter plan, the roughly $3.5 trillion of investments of climate action to me really does meet the moment. the ipcc report released a few weeks ago indicated that we are in the red alert, and we are seeing the visceral impact of climate change from new york and louisiana and of course in my

state of colorado where in my district we had the first and the second largest wildfires in the course of colorado happen in last year. so i believe that the investments in the build back better plan is to including a clean standard, and a commitment to put folks to work in building out, and infrastructure and working on wildfire mitigation by way of example i believe it is going to meet the scale and the gravity of the crisis. i am excited that we are off to the races so to speak working on the bill, and have it pass through the house in short order. >> and the democrats are making the point that the bill that was passed by the senate doesn't, but you are making a point that the president's build back bert plan at least as he is seeing it, it is going to address many issues of climate change. thank you for joining us.

we are continuing to follow breaking news across the northeast this afternoon. at least 25 people are confirmed dead after the remnants of hurricane ida dumped rainfall and catastrophic rainfall in new jersey and new york and pennsylvania. in elizabeth, new jersey, which is 30 minutes from new york, we have learned that four people died in an apartment complex there. joining us now is the mayor of

elizabeth, new jersey, and my condolences to the members of your community, and give us a sense of how bad the situation is in your city. >> the current situation is that we have about 600 people who live in this housing complex that now is uninhabitable, and we are working with the senate and congresspeople as well as the white house to get vouchers for these folks to have a temporary permanent housing until we can rehabilitate these structures. the four people who passed away had a garden apartment close to the river, and the fire headquarters which is directly across the street started to get inundated before we were able to find these four victims, we had made hundreds of rescues for

people in cars on ground floor apartments, but these four people tragically passed away. >> looking at the images of devastation across parts of new jersey to include your city of elizabeth, do you have a sense of how long it is going to take to at least clean everything up? >> well, it is going to take weeks until it looks good, but it is going to take months until you rehabilitate many of the structures that had to deal with the raw sewage and the floodwaters through the basements, or in this case, the first floor of high-rise apartment buildings. this structure is a federal government housing complex, and i have been on the phone with hud, our senators, and they have been extremely supportive in providing vouchers. so we are looking forward to hopefully housing 600 people in the next 24 to 48 hours in other

locations. >> this appears to be the new normal this kind of the excessive flooding. is your city prepared to cope with this? >> this area has not flooded in 50 years. the army corps of engineers did a major restructuring of the river in the late '60s and mid-'70s and at the time they informed the city government that it was a 50-year projector 50-year flood zone, and now that we are coming up on 50 years with the climate change, construction and more buildings up river, clearly we are seeing the effects of what was billed as a 50-year flood relief program, and unfortunately with the climate change, we will be seeing more floods especially in our community. this is the hardest hit part of the city, because of the tragic

loss of life, but there is harder hit property where the river traveled through. >> yes, devastation and the loss of life. and we also have breaking news out of louisiana where the president is expected to view the remnants of ida there. the recovery is slow and painful, and most of new orleans is without power, and leaving people in the long lines for food, water and pay sick supplies in heat. back with us is ellison barber there on the ground. what are you hearing from the people there in new orleans about the struggles now that we are four days after this storm hit, and folks still don't have power or the food they need. >> yeah, things are hard, and they are running out of the provisions that they had at home, and people don't have

power or light or electricity. they are forced to come like this to try to get some help. there are truckloads from fema hearing loss to try to get people help. pallets and pallets of food to eat. they have mres, and one bag can feed a person for a day. they have come with a box of water, and bags of ice. people are coming to try to get help. and waiting in their cars, and sometimes 30 or 40 minutes or moshgs and some of the -- or more, and some of them are coming by foot. we met a man from jefferson parish where they were hit hard by hurricane eye d.a. he said that a tree limb fell on his house and a limb fell in the house, and so he came to new orleans to stay at the house of a friend, and right now, he is trying to make sure that he can

feed his grandchildren. listen. >> i got to eat. vi three grand babies at the house. i have one that just turned 4, and 6-year-old and 8-year-old, and i need a gas can right now. the credit cards don't work. and the cash is limited right now. i mean, vitally limited. my truck is over here, and so i am going to go around a couple more times. >> president biden is supposed to be coming here, and what would you say to him. >> >> we need you here, we need you, man. we need you here in new orleans and we need the help. not a promise help, but we need today help and yesterday help and the day before the storm help. >> some lights are on in new orleans. we were in the french quarter this morning and some buildings have the power back there, but most residents and people are

waiting for that. the ceo of the power company entergy, they expect the damage assessments to finish at some time today, and give people a better time frame of when the power is going to be back on, but the people are here, because they have no idea of when that is going to happen, and they have run out of supplies at home. geoff. >> yes, and for a lot of folks to evacuate is a luxury. and if you don't have the resources or the ability, they are stuck to hold it together, and you know, try to find a way forward. ellison barber, thank you as always for that report. and out west, the caldor fire is so big, it can be seen from space. shown in satellite time lapse with smoke neighboring nevada. at this point, the winds have shifted the fire, and there is hope that lake tahoe where thou santds were evacuated will be spared. joining us from lake tahoe we are joined by jake horn, and i

can see some smoldering or what looks like a smoldering fire behind you. >> geoff, the ash is raining down around me, as i am standing here, and all through the basin, and the tahoe valley basin, and yu can see the centuries' old trees brought down by fire. it is because the dry conditions have created these dry conditions, and all of that creating incredible effects. the wind has shifted and so it seems that tahoe itself is going to be spared, but at this point, we are thinking about the long term, and we spoke to governor newsome yesterday about not just the economic effects and the actual physical damage, but the damage to our relationship to nature that climate change poses. have a listen. >> i think that is the biggest message is that people, and we are talking about in the terms of the wildfires but not about

losses, traditions, places, people, and memories wiped off of the map, and towns wiped off of the map, and that is what has radically changed out west. >> so, again, good news on the ground here, jeff, and looking at this fire going away, but it is the long term effects everybody is looking agent the eve where nobody will be visiting lake tahoe. >> thank you, for that report on the ground. and still, a device that is considered the covid's last line of defense is in short supply. >> and first, a mother and daughter who survived the surfside collapse share their harrowing story. harrowing story. it means we grab a hold of what matters most. we sweat the details. ask for what we want. get what we need. and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. living longer is possible and proven with kisqali

when taken with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor alone. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash or are plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. kisqali is not approved for use with tamoxifen. it's our time. for more time. we asked for kisqali. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali. this is t-mobile, america's leading 5g network.

this is apple tv+. for more time. we asked for kisqali. and now only t-mobile gives new and existing customers one year of apple tv+ on us. only at t-mobile. it has been more than two months since that 12-story condo building came crashing down on a beach in southern florida. 98 people lost in the rubble in

surfside. kerry sander has the chilling account of a mother and daughter inside of that building when it collapsed but survived. >> yes, geoff, that is where champlaine tower one once stood. it was 12 stories high, and the firefighters pulled 98 bodies from the rubble, and rescued three people. today for first time, we are hearing from two of them, a 16-year-old and her mother who are still asking why did the building collapse. >> whoever thinks that a building is going to collapse on you -- i'm sorry. >> the building is gone. >> reporter: at 12:36, the condo collapsed. >> i remember mom yelling run and dragging me out of the bed. >> reporter: angela and her mother and father edgar had been
