i'm in a size 4 pair of pants. go golo. everybody, good afternoon. (soft music) i am yasmin vossoughian, we have a lot going on today. thanks for joining us. we are on the ground in the hardest hit areas of florida where the death toll continues to rise. governor ron desantis about to hold a news conference right now with hurricane relief efforts and in just a moment i will speak with charlie crist, the man running to unseat desantis. we also have other big news that we are covering. stay growing death toll more than 100 people killed in a stampede at a soccer stadium and the january six trial about to start that maybe the most important yet with the leader of the oath keepers in the idea of seditious conspiracy.

the former president keeping election lie alive at his rally in michigan. >> it took a month, for one thing, to let biden in their. they had a whole month to cheat or whatever they did and it was supposed to be a one day election. >> next hour, our friends at the good buyers are going to join us with the up close -- trump faithful that rally as well. -- >> and miss nbc has confirmed the 78 people have died after the path of destruction, including -- excuse me. for people in north carolina, somebody for in florida, more than hundred thousand customers without power and that's improvement for more than 2 million, in the dark over the weekend began. and to bring liz maclachlan who standing by for us there. liz, give us a sense as we spoke yesterday of the absolute destruction there. we know now that the rescue efforts are ongoing on?

>> that's right, yasmin. crews are working day and night here in fort myers right now. you can see some of the demolition crew behind me, residents won't be able to access this area for another week. we are learning, because there are so many people so many challenges to go through all this rubble to try and see if people need help and recover the bodies. unfortunately, of those who lost their lives and we have just heard updated numbers from the county officials that this is one of the hardest hit counties. the sheriff said that more than 800 have been rescued and 42 casualties. that is far more than any other county, it is the majority of deaths here in florida. neighboring counties evacuated a day before lee county which is drawing criticism. some residents here feel they didn't have enough time to leave, some wondering if those

casualties could have been avoided with better planning. this behind me used to be a marina, used to be a place where families came to go get a drink at the tiki bar. where you would take your kids for a drink at the beach op. now it is just a shell. i spoke with a business owner who owns this parcel but how he felt pressured with law enforcement in the lead county sheriff. let's listen. >> don't tell me one sheriff canceled on the main road going into the only way to get in and nobody goes down there and says search and rescue. if they didn't do that. why? >> you can give criticism and put the blame where it is, but they need to be blamed. they need to be held accountable. >> i stand one hunted percent with my county commissioners, my county manager, we did what we had to do at the exact same time i wouldn't have changed anything. i know being in those meetings from the very minute, the storm

is very unpredictable. >> and lee county emergency documents, however, really stressed a time is off the f since strategy. the police that we were yesterday, jasmine, i talk to you from pine island there is only one way in and out and if you are the places are like that, to. those bridges and roads totally collapsed and now and those emergency planning documents note the challenge there that swift evacuation just isn't possible because of the large population in the very few roadways. a lot of questions here about that planning and what could be done to prevent the tragedy in the future. >> two things of note here, import to reiterate. the president announcing yesterday that they will be traveling to the state of florida yesterday with the -- hard hit. by hurricane. this maclachlan for, us thank you, we appreciate it. i want to move with you to fort myers beach where we find nick standing by for us, as well. >> another place got entire lee

hard-hit there, i believe at this point it is day three or four of where they are trying to recover and still rescue. how are folks handling things right now? >> right, yasmin. a lot of the residents who live in fort myers beach where they are still recovering the bodies are going back into the area as of yesterday, trying to recover some things. they are seeing what the conditions of the homes were like yesterday afternoon authority said there was a mandatory order to evacuate the area. we spoke with the mayor, yesterday afternoon. the mayor fort myers beach to get a sense of the number of people that they are still working looking for. as what he said. >> we hear anecdotal information as council mayor we are constant texan calls from people, acacia on someone, so so-and-so. so into his missing so-and-so

hasn't commuted with us. communications are terrible, as you know. there are still people missing. the number, i don't know what the number is. but it's plenty. it's plenty. we are doing our best to locate those people. >> i spoke to a man who lived in where these mobile homes here, the scenarios on the other side of the bridge. half of the homes here were completely destroyed. i can't imagine someone being in some of these homes when the storm hit and the guy there told me his friend, his girlfriend is still messing. she was on that side of fort myers beach. in fact, an nbc crew was allowed to go in there earlier today and they confirmed that it's part of the search now triage to day they are still recovering bodies, unfortunately, in that area. one of the hardest hit areas

fort myers beach. . >> talking about how folks are dealing with this the other de station's night, their homes, after this hurricane. >> people were affected in different ways. we are talking about ground zero, that part, a lot of structures were destroyed we've seen the area with the images. i'm standing in an area where you still see some of >> the most affected presidents the one who's home for destroyed who had neighbors found in -- after being evacuate from the bridge, this is the bridge, like i said, that connects to fort myers beach. we saw ministers go in and out all day long. we don't know who's in the ambulance on the way in and out. a lot of the people in this

mandatory evacuation will be brought out, very emotional -- >> mass of people being dropped off by national guard vehicle, who said this to us. >> and your property? >> it's pretty messed up. >> what about your neighbors? >> everything on the golf, across the street was hit. everything across the street from the beach was -- everything first floor was -- >> did you lose anyone? neighbors are friends? >> not that i know of. >> right after i spoke with him the next man i caught off told me that his neighbor was missing, so that is what residents are experiencing at the moment as that search and rescue effort continues in fort myers beach. >> just four days after this hurricane left the area, absolute devastation.

>> want to bring in charlie crist, former florida governor pan-democratic -- >> congressman, thanks for joining us on this. we appreciate it. let's start with our personal story. what happened and we know you evacuate before the storm hit, how are you doing now? >> well, i live in st. petersburg so we're still at the gulf coast. obviously the storm language coming through the bay -- as it approached, we lost power and was without power for three days. we evacuate to a hotel in downtown st. petersburg. the community is doing very well by the grace of god, frankly. we have trees that were down, -- that we're down. we didn't have near the kind of impact that this that really does to southwest florida. we took a trip down there not too far, sarasota, englewood,

venice just a couple of days ago met with the mayor of venice enough for the south you go in florida on the gulf coast, obviously the worse this gets. it is like a nightmare. it looks like a bomb exploded when you see some of the video that you all have shown. it just amazing and tragic. >> i think one of the most horrific things, as well, is when you think about rebuilding how folks are going to be able to do that once they are able to pick up the pieces, right? insurance. 29%, we are learning now of homes are inch shirt with flood insurance of the 1.8 million households in the overall name counties that were affected. that will leave a heck of a lot of people without money to rebuild except, for the help that they will be getting from fema and federal government. >> how do you right side that? >> well, you have to understand

where in the middle of an insurance crisis in florida that has been exacerbated by this horrific storm. as you say, you know, last and 30% of those in the path of the storm have homeowners insurance at all. >> so many companies are canceling, going bankrupt, and our governor unfortunately has been focused on trying to help insurance companies instead of consumers. in fact, he actually had a calf where he went to a football game on friday before the storm, wasn't heard of for almost 20 hours, some of the most critical time within which you could warn citizens about the storm. you could warn citizens about the cone and start talking about evacuating. he just reported that there are now 74 floridians that died from the storm and god knows how many missing still in sanibel, could some of that life have been saved had our governor been on watch?

instead of not being on watch? it breaks my heart. the other tragedy of the insurance issue is that they've given him about $3 million in campaign contributions he. and the cfo were asked the other day, what should we do we have a claim? basically they said don't involve too many people, aka, lawyers go ahead and accept the settlement they give for a take home. >> i would advice to dozens and consumers not have claims against these insurance companies to fight like hell to get what they deserve if they need secondhand advice or secondhand opinion rather when you're the lawyer, get one? do what's right for you. don't do what's right for the insurance company, you've been paying them year, after year, after year. when it comes time for them to pay you after catastrophe like you have gone through in florida don't take the advice of governor desantis or cfo -- fight they claim. make sure you get what you deserve and justice is done. >> let's look ahead, right? your state is reeling right now

and certainly instant thinks of the governors trying to ensure that folks are able to rebuild, unite families that are suffering from the storm. you are running for governor of the state, this is not the last hurricane that will hit florida, right? if you win the race, how are you going to prevent something like this from happening? >> well you can't prevent a hurricane. when you can prevent is not being ready for it. so, you have better preparation, you do what needs to be done. i mean, we have a fund in our budget in the state of florida that's really a building fund to harden homes, greater structures, not any of it has been used by this administration. as you said, these storms are gonna come but you have to address climate change for crying out loud. they're getting bigger, stronger the size of the storm you could've put three

hurricane charlize which hurt the same part of florida inside the eye of the end. so, there is proof positive that we need to address climate change, better preparation for the storms starting to come our way, we need to be on watch, prepared, utilize the funds are in the current budget for structural soundness of these -- so that a catastrophe of the story doesn't happen again. we learned so much from hurricane andrew 30 years ago -- utilize the funds that the tax paid years >> what about rebuilding in the low lying areas -- if you look at fort myers beach, a large plans essential they get hit the hardest when it comes to this. a lot of these places are uninsured, do you continue to rebuild in areas like this that make it hit hard once again in just a couple of years? >> well, it's a very difficult question to pose. we are a peninsula. we're surrounded by water.

we're probably the state that's the most susceptible to sea level rises as a fact of that. what you need to do is try to make responsible decisions. have building codes that makes sense. permits that are permitted where a place would be more safe to live rather than not. and it comes down to common sense, yasmin, it's a great question and what it's gonna have to face for a long-time. >> charlie crist we appreciate you joining us, sir. >> thank. you >> hurricane coverage everybody is continuing plus how people across the globe are trying solitary for anti government protests ongoing in iran. and the founder of the oath keepers on child the most important january six trial yet. why legal scholars say his defense can dangerously expand the power of the precedent. e power of the precedent e power of the precedent

the government seditious conspiracy case against members of the far-right militia group, oath keepers, -- both sides set to offer up opening statements. the department of justice case charting for members of the group along with its leader, stewart rhodes over the actions leading up to and on january six. as far as roads common defense goes, legal experts are calling it flat out dangerous. joining us now is our own experts barb mcquade. barbara, let's talk through some of this. when we talk about rhodes's legal defense here. let me read it for you from the

associated press. lawyers for stewart rhodes founder of the extremist group wise to argue that jurors cannot find him guilty of seditious conspiracy because all of the actions he took before january six were in preparation for orders that he anticipated from then president trump, orders that never came. why is this a dangerous defense here? >> it could be dangerous to the national security to the extent that it suggests that the president actually has the power to evoke the insurrection act to use it against some part of our government. in this case, against the u.s. capitol. but it really isn't what the law says. so, i think this defense is likely to fail. in fact, i think the only way that stewart rhodes is able to make this defense out is by having a witness that could say that there was some kind of conversation or communication with the white house, with the president that made him believe

that there would be a call of the insurrection act. maybe that happened, maybe there was a conversation with -- willard hotel with roger stone, michael flynn, short of that it's hard to see how this defense prevails just thinking that this would happen isn't gonna be enough. and if you can point to some communication, that might help his defense. i think it can cause serious trouble for the former president. it'll be really interesting to watch the trial play out. >> it certainly will. the jury seated, opening statements happening monday. how do you come up with a jury in washington, d.c., that doesn't know. about the oath keepers or doesn't have a preconceived notion about the oath keepers and what took place on january six? >> it's probably unlikely that you can find 12 jurors plus a few alternates have never heard of the oath keepers or what happened on january six. the question really is whether journalists can set aside anything they've read, seen,

heard about what happened on january six inside the case that they solely on what they heard in the courtroom. i've been surprised over the years handling kate -- never this high profile. but how many people are out there that don't play close attention to the news and yet are very active in their own lives. people exercising common sense, good judgment every day. i'm confident we can find a group of people who can decide this case based on the facts and the law that they see here in. court >> barbara let's switch gears here, i want to play for you -- jamie raskin speaking -- specifically about ginni thomas 's testimony to the j six committee. >> she's saying about she still believes that donald trump won the election. and that joe biden's victory is based on fraud. it's a remarkable thing for anybody to say, much less somebody who's married to a

supreme court justice who theoretically bases their whole work on the rule of law. >> it doesn't necessarily seem to me, barbara, and all that we've heard that she's necessarily a central character to all of this. we kind of knew that going into this. but big picture here, what jaime kind of got at which is the idea that she's admitted, she still believes the election is stolen, and she is the wife of a sitting supreme court justice. >> it is really disturbing to hear that she does continue to have this belief. and it really goes to the heart of why disinformation is so -- to society. either she really believes this, she's not paying attention to the fact, or she's willing to go along and pretend that she believes that because she so desperately wants it to be true. this is somebody who lives at the highest levels of

conservative legal circles. seeing her husband are certainly separate individuals, separate human beings. they need to talk to each other. the idea that she couldn't believe this and know dad how some influence on her husband, and their conversations it should be deeply disturbing. all also note, because the first status of the wife of the supreme court justice. she does get access that the rest of us don't at. she was able to email with mark meadows with the fake electors around the country. they pay attention to our because she's the wife of supreme court justice. that kind of corrosion is getting pushed at the highest levels of our government because of someone with our influence. >> barbara mcquade, as always, great to talk to you. coming up everybody, targeting election deniers running for office in the midterms. but first this.

the players, soccer officials and start a clashing with police. it escalates, riot police were there on hand fired tear gas catheters onto the field into the crowd. it causes stampedes through the main exit of the stadium. all of a sudden you have some 40,000 fans all added to the same exit. tear gas is a banned substance at stadiums according to fifa, and the organizations president now says that soccer worlds is in a state of shock. more than 200 people were also injured, many were trampled -- in that stampede. many have critical injuries and remain in the hospital. that's why officials say the death toll continues to rise. indonesia has announced a pause, suspension to the spa shock early while they do a full investigation. back to you. >> all right molly. just completely devastating. let's talk ukraine now. president zelenskyy announced a short time ago, a key city in the east is quote, cleared fully of russian forces. ukrainian forces retake -- which is located in the donbas

region. russia's now claimed to have annexed. zelenskyy also promised that captured more territory and thank president biden after the announcement -- paul billion dollars on u.s. aid. a live report from the capital city of kyiv is coming up in our next hour. and niagara falls, lighting up the memory -- she's the 22-year-old woman who died three days after police took her into custody. according to a local hospital, iranians already say that she was arrested for violating the strict law enforcement islamic dress code. police deny mistreating her. they say it investigations underway. her family denied she had any pre-existing conditions and says that witnesses told them that she had been beaten by police. demonstrations over her death are entering their third straight week. and are now turning deadly. amnesty international say at least 52 people have been killed there during clashes with iranian forces. nbc has an independently

verified that number. the government saying repeatedly at the unrest, will not be allowed. if nbc ali arouzi's, is joining me from tehran. ali, what if you've been seeing on the ground there as these protests have persisted in the efforts as well to help iranians communicate online? >> the mood across the country is somber there is a sense of melancholy, anxiety, and uncertainty that's gripped just about everybody in the country. as of tuesday we saw the mass protests that have engulfed entire country start to subside partly because of the massive security presence and the internet shut down. so, tuesday, wednesday, thursday use all less and less protests, bigger security presence. but then again, yesterday, today were two very violent days. there were protests in about six or seven cities, many

universities saw the students rising up again, chanting against -- there've been many deaths over the last two days. but security officials and protesters, it's hard to pin a number on it because information is hard to come by these days. but they have largely subsided, they're still going on. to give you a sense of what the feeling here is in tehran, you could see small clusters of protests scattered across the town, 20, 30 people. and -- you see about 30% of the women on the streets in tehran still refusing to wear a head job, still walking around the streets. the morality police aren't anywhere to be seen, they're not around these women during the day. yes, people are being rounded up for protests at night when they turned violent. but during the day they're not -- that's what's getting a real sense of uncertainty.

what's gonna happen next, are the gun around them up, nobody knows exactly what's going to happen. i don't think the ruling establishment quite knows what's going to happen or what to do. as far as the internet's concerned, it's still not working. other methods haven't given widespread internet to people in iran. >> there's so many factors, ali, fueling the protests. it's not just the death of mass amani, it's not just for women 's rights in this country, it's the economy that's being crippled over the last several years, crippled under sanctions that have been leveled against the high inflation, high unemployment as well. talk to me about that and how that factors into what we're seeing play out in iran right now? >> well as you know yourself, yasmin, way before these protests that started there had been a lot of disgruntled --

for the state of the economy in this country it's been really bad, it's a combination of factors, crippling sanctions against the country, mismanagement, corruption, funds being given to the wrong places. all of these have seriously hurt the economy. when you couple in all these protests, complete internet shutdown, and not really debilitates the country's ability to function financially. iranians are really internet savvy, they do a lot of their business on the internet. around 80% of people that do online business in iran use instagram. instagram is now shut down in this country. people who sell jewelry, flowers, pant do that so that's also having a big effect on the economy and of course the realities tanking against the -- as well. >> ali arouzi, thank you my friend. coming, up the president visiting storm torn areas of florida this week.

sentiment and sand to allow the rest of that water to leave. we have crews on the ground doing damage assessment, they've been doing that for the last several days. we can get a handle on what's gone on in these neighborhoods, and the businesses. >> how significant is the damage that you have a saddest so far in your area, lots of homes, businesses that sort of thing? >> as a real testament to the florida building code, we've seen homes and businesses with their structures to do the job that i needed to do, they performed against the wind in the water. they have lots of structures have damage, but as far as things being leveled here in collier county, not as much. our neighbors to the north, our hearts go out to them. they have a lot of damage. -- but collier has a fair amount

of damage to. we're just not seeing the complete destruction that our neighbors to the north are. >> my own hurricane coverage, i recognize one of the best ways for folks to begin to recover, is to be able to return to some sort of normalcy, whatever that now looks like. i'm wondering for collier county specifically, as you look to open up businesses and once again kids getting back to school as well. what's the timeline for that? >> yeah. so, we're resuming most of our normal government operations tomorrow, we're making final evaluations on parks and libraries to get those open. we anticipate schools opening at the end of the week dependent on power. a lot of these things really depend on getting the power restored. and our partners in the electric company, they're doing an excellent job at that every day. -- practically every hour of bringing neighborhoods back online. we have some areas in the

county that are without power, particularly in the coastal area. they're working hard to get us up. >> the president visiting florida i believe on wednesday. what do you want to hear from him and the federal assistance that they can land to florida gnes, specifically in your area? >> for us, and i'm sure for our -- we can use some assistance for extending the fema timeframes, four are 100 percent reimbursement. just because of the complexity of dealing with all the damage and because we're dealing with a lot of strong surf damage, which is a lot more difficult to assess, -- but we have structures that appear okay on the outside. they've taken eight or ten feet of water creating massive damages inside of homes. and it's gonna take time to get through that. for the homeowners to evaluate what's going on, to be able to apply for assistance, and for the county to do the same and provide that level of assistance.

>> amy, i'm glad you and your family are safe. i know you got a lot of work ahead of, you let you go. thank you for taking the time. i appreciate. it >> thank you so. much >> the burden on residents it's isn't just physical -- joining me now on the phone is rabbi marc sack, from temple judea in fort myers. rabbit, thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> give me a sense of your temples congregation, have you checked in with everybody, is everybody okay, what losses have these suffered? >> so, we had one congregant we had a home in fort myers been blown away. others have had homes close to water, have had significant flooding. internet and phone connections have been difficult here. so, it's been difficult to make contact with many people. so far everybody is safe though

many have had real damage to their homes. >> here's synagogue, did that sustain damage from the storm? >> i'm in this synagogue right now. our lights went on about an hour ago. we have the inside of the synagogue looks okay, the outside we have pulls, light poles down, parking lot -- a lot of debris. -- at this time looks good. >> how is the community, a rabbi, coming together i know for a lot of folks this might be the first major storm they've had to deal with, having moved to florida not long ago, you have an elderly population as well, how are they coming together after the devastation? >> i hope to bring people to gather, for young people or holiday, it's coming up tuesday night. wednesday, there is a gathering will be very important for us

great woman named ginni thomas. she said she does still believe the 2020 election was stolen. she didn't say, oh well i don't want to get involved. >> so, that was the former president. thanking ginni thomas, wife of supreme court justice clarence time is at his rally last night. but only after she appeared before the january six committee this week and repeated election lies once again. she's not the only one doing

so. in fact there's 17 candidates across this country, running for positions that had elections that denied the 2020 -- that monitors that voting rights around the country. but summarizations are fighting back. and citizens united, and say fixable and fair elections announcing a seven figure -- michigan and nevada. the president tiffany mueller says this, secretary of state's are supposed to ensure safe and accessible elections. but instead we have extreme maga candidates on the ballot focused on culture wars, rigging elections for their political allies, and radical attacks on our freedoms like ending women's right to make their own health care decision. tiffany mueller, is joining me now. tiffany, it's great to talk to you. i want you to talk a little bit more about the role of the secretary of state why it's so critical of course, we can't

all help but think back to the 2020 election. and of course the role that then secretary of state brad raffensperger played in all that. >> first, thank you so much for having me on. and you're absolutely right, the secretary of state positions are critical to upholding our democracy. and making sure that we have free, fair elections. outside of brad raffensperger you had folks like joscelyn -- in michigan, or katie hobbs in arizona. who stood firm against the lies that were coming from the trump campaign, in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. they make sure the will of the voters were upheld. what we have right now, which you laid out at the beginning is actually over half of americans have an election denier on the ballot this cycle. 52% of americans have someone who says they either don't believe the 2020 election was free and fair, or said that they would challenge future

elections. that is such an incredible threat to our democracy. we know in 2022, democracies literally on the ballot. we need to make sure we do everything we can to not let these election deniers anywhere near positions of authority, where they can overturn the will of the future elections. >> as we came to you, we talked about -- two specific states that's michigan i believe and nevada. let's focus first if we can on nevada, and gop candidate jim martian. not only pull -- organizing like-minded content that says well. adding this, the coalitions working behind the scenes to try and fix, 2020 like president trump said. what more do we know about marchand and the coalition. >> you're absolutely right. jim marchand has said that the

2020 election is stolen. he still wants to overturn the election, not only that he wants to and the very things that have made it possible for nevada to actually have really good voting rights and voting access to the voters of that state. he wants to end early voting, he wants to end vote by mail, and on the other -- women's rights to choose. he says he doesn't support a woman's right to choose. even in cases of rape or incest, or life of the mother. the extremism they are using to both try and keep people from accessing the ballot box, and to keep us from having a representative of a democracy that works to enact the policies that the people care about. whether that's our freedom to choose, or our freedom to vote. all of these things are at stake in this election. we're proud to be running part of this partnership with it -- in order to make sure voters know what's at stake, and make

sure that they knew understand -- really believe. >> i want to pull on that thread a little bit, and move over to michigan as well, where this happened and you have christina colorado running for secretary of state, a member of the coalition we talked about. the detroit free press reporting this -- alongside one other member of the group, mark finchem, during a recent convention hosted by church militant deemed an anti-lgbtq hate group by the southern poverty law center. the perilous its support and cast the races as a spiritual battle for the future of this country. talk more about this if you can, tiffany? >> the ad in michigan uses christina colorado's own words to let voters know, not only the extreme positions she holds but the conspiracy theories that she holds. because they're actually so

unbelievable that unless you show a visual of her in her own words, it's hard to believe. but she believes that the democratic party is a satanic agenda, and is absolutely pushing to overturn the 2020 election, and future elections. in this case we're actually trying to educate voters about our position using her own words because they really need to see what's at stake here, we have one of the best secretary of states in the country in johnson but seen in michigan. we know michigan was the focus of so much of the trump campaign's attacks, after the 2020 election. and we saw both attorney general dana nessel, and secretary of state -- do everything they could to make sure that they uphold the will of the voters. we need to make sure they get

reelected. tiffany mueller president of and citizens united, thank you so much good to talk to you. >> thank you for having me. on >> at the top of the hour live in the hardest hit parts of florida. without the beginning of recovery efforts are going. and the last supreme court charts of roe overturned, what is on the line now as the -- brand-new justice on the bench. we'll be right back. bench we'll be right back. we'll be right back. that's a lot of cash back. are you gonna stop me? uh-oh... i'm almost there... too late! boom! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours. it's the all-new subway series menu. twelve irresistible new subs. the most epic sandwich roster ever created. ♪♪ it's subway's biggest refresh yet! i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance
