8:00 am
you can reach me on twitter and instagram @jdbalart. yasmin vossoughian picks up with more news right now. everybody, good morning. i am yasmin vossoughian, kicking off a very big and very busy hour of news. right now search and rescue efforts accelerating in florida, and the staggering scale of the devastation left after hurricane ian is getting much clearer. in ft. fort myer's beach, we know many buildings damaged and destroyed. this is what one researcher told nbc news. >> is this comparable to katrina? >> absolutely. >> at least 100 people are now
8:01 am
confirmed dead, and as the survivors sift through the wreckage of their lives, the question is what comes next? >> this is my mother's house. this is my whole life. my mom was supposed to retire here and spend the rest of her life and be happy, and now we have nothing. >> do you have insurance? >> no. no, they don't like to insure mobile homes that close to the water. >> i will talk with a top dhs official on how to make a difference after disasters like this with so much loss. now nbc news has exclusively scooped when the next hearing will likely be for the january 6th committee. and we have our eyes and ears on the supreme court, where a big case with bigger implications for race and voting rights is
8:02 am
playing out. a major story shaking up one of the closest watched races, and nbc news has not independently verified this, and how herschel walker is responding and the shocking response from his own son. first, jesse kirsch is on the ground. let's talk about sanibel. the number exceeded the number they thought about exceeded the storm. >> reporter: yeah, a very long
8:03 am
road of recovery ahead. this is one boat behind me that you can see is beyond land, and another is beyond that tilted upward. beyond that, you can see this massive structure that is toppled over and you can hear helicopters in the background. this is a very much active and recovery and rebuilding scene. we were granted rare access on sanibel island itself, and from the water we have seen up close what we have seen from overhead, some portions of the roadway completely wiped out. i could see water going through where there should have been a roadway. when we got over to the island, we were headed with a famil,
8:04 am
and we also met people at another congregation of another synagogue on mainland fort myers that had its tourers being brought back from where they were evacuated from, and hopefully they will be able to have the services. and melissa and scott congress were able to go and retrieve these tow ropes during the vault. >> they are dry. feel. everything else is wet. >> these bags don't look dirty. >> the cord is not even wet. unbelievable. >> what does it mean for you to be able to hold these and bring these to a yom kippur service? >> the lord says we should be doing something every day to help, and we helped.
8:05 am
>> unbelievable. >> for people not familiar, the torrah is the sacred text, and i asked them how it felt, the symbolism of it, and they said on a holiday that is about life and death, this is a moment of life, perseverance, and i know that their family is going to be services virtually with their congregation, and i know there are other congregations that will be able to be together in person in some form taking into consideration, the heat and electricity, and everything impacted because of this storm, and hopefully these families will be able to celebrate together and that speaks beyond one religion -- any religion for that matter. >> yeah, such a good point, jesse. we will be talking about how faith can play a part in helping
8:06 am
reviving these communities, and hope for what is to come after such devastating loss in the state of florida, specifically. and darsha, let me go to you on this one. you were talking about how you were embedded with the rescue folks, and fascinating story there, and you couple that with your interview with a nurse that is, by the way, is also pregnant and having to ride out the storm and deal with all of the complications of that. what did you learn? >> reporter: 32 weeks pregnant with twins. disaster stories are human stories, and there are so many unsung heroes and so many stories that you will not find in those sort of official briefings you hear about, and one of those is the story of eileen. 32 weeks pregnant, twins, a boy and a girl, just about a month
8:07 am
away from her due date, and she also has a 1 1/2-year-old daughter at home. she had to leave her daughter and her husband. she never had been away from her little girl overnight before, and she had to say good-bye to her leaving to go to the hospital to then spend four days taking care of other peoples' children, taking care of the pediatric patients through the storm. at one point, for about 24-plus hours, losing contact with her husband, not knowing if her husband and daughter were okay, if they were alive, if they were safe. they called 911 to check and let them know what was going on at the hospital. they got a busy tone on 911, and a dial tone, and you know what runs through the mind of a mother when you call 911 and
8:08 am
it's down and you don't know where your husband and child is. listen to our conversation. >> i lost contact with my husband early on. >> you didn't know what was going on? >> do they have flotation devices? does she has a helmet? and can they get to somebody, or could somebody get to them? the answer was no. we called 911 for welfare checks once the storm was over and there was no 911. >> geez. >> reporter: there was no 911. you can just imagine. thankfully she was reunited with her husband and daughter and they were okay. their house sustained damage, and their roof was damaged and they had pipes bursts and they are trying to clean up quickly to bring the two little babies hope to a damaged home. her brother and his family lost their home, and so pregnant with
8:09 am
a baby and just trying to move forward and taking care of other people, and that's the life of a nurse, the spirit of a nurse. >> peoples' resilience just always shocks me, their strength through moments like this. such a rock star, pregnant with twins and taking care of the babies inside of her and the babies at the hospital as well and dealing with the stress not knowing if her family is safe, and now they are safe and they can look forward to those little baby twins to arrive. thank you both. want to bring in marcus coleman, the director of the homeland security working in conjunction with fema. thank you for joining us on this. i am not sure you heard that, our correspondent on the ground
8:10 am
brought us a couple so elated to find their torahs dry ahead of the yom kippur holiday. let's talk first if we can, about how you guys are helping coordinate with a lot of churches, synagogues, mosques on the ground in light of the disaster zone in florida. >> good morning. thank you for having me, and i was able to hear that story and was deeply touched by that. we have a lot of people looking for hope and healing and, thankfully, fema, alongside the state are working with partners across faiths and sectors to ensure we can provide support they need. i was on the phone yesterday with the president and ceo of the florida non-profit alliance in touch with colleagues including rabbis, pastors and imams, and we were talking about how we could work together to meet the needs of people while governments and other entities
8:11 am
provide lifesaving and life sustaining operations in communities impacted by this historic incident. >> let's talk about specifically your division's role here, marcus, if we can for a moment. as we look to the weeks ahead, what is most important to you? what are your priorities in helping folks rebuild? >> so our priorities are about access, about inclusiveness, and about insuring we are doing everything we can to keep people first. let's talk about access. we will be hosting a call today with more than 400 non-profit and community leaders about how we can ensure as the government operations happen at the state and federal level, that those non-profit partners providing immediate assistance can do so. inclusion, and providing any communications we provide is inclusive of different languages and ensuring we have information and access for people with additional needs. we know there's a lot of pain
8:12 am
and impacts in communities where folks do feel forgotten, but with people on the ground and the community partners that we have, nobody is forgotten as we meet the needs of the disaster survivors today and in the future. >> there's a woman that we just heard from, doesn't have flood insurance, and lost everything, and will likely be applying for federal aid, we know that, but likely not enough to rebuild all that she has lost. >> we do, unfortunately, have a number of people that did not have flood insurance coverage. we are thankful for some of our partners, and the center for disaster philanthropy is talking about what they can do to help those folks that need to augment their recovery. dialing a number, we recognize
8:13 am
that fema assistance will need to be complimented by other forms of funding. >> as we all know, faith an integral part of recovering. thank you. >> thank you. new details on what could be the final january 6th hearing, what we learned so far. plus, the story that could upend the senate georgia race. republican herschel walker says he will sue "the daily beast" denning the report that he paid for a girlfriend's abortion more than a decade ago, but what impact could this have on the voting. i'll be right back. but we don't always love their hair. let's face it. pets are gonna shed.

8:17 am
welcome back, everybody. now we know when the january 6th committee is planning on holding its possiblebly final hearing, and it's tentatively set for next thursday, october 13th, but that date is not set in stone. joining me is a law professor at the university of michigan, and an msnbc legal analysts.
8:18 am
if this thing sticks, it's not set in stone, yes, but if it goes ahead, what are we expecting? >> it's not set in stone yet but if it does go ahead, as we expect it to next week, this could be the last time we see these members in the january 6th committee room, and it could be the end of their public hearings. we expect the hearing to be focused broadly, unlike previous hearings that were focused on one or two topics, and the chairman said all the members of the committee will get a chance to speak, and there's a range of topics we expect them to touch on, and there's roger stone where he predicts that could be part of this, and we know the wife of ginni thomas is a conservative activist and spoke to the committee a couple days ago, and expect to expose what they learned from her, and the issue of missing secret service text messages, and the committee
8:19 am
has been keen on getting answers about that, and we might see them revisit that. and the question is what comes next. one of the big lingering questions, remaining questions for this committee is a question of criminal referrals, especially those subpoenas, and liz cheney spoke about the criminal referrals and i want to play what she had to say. >> the process is one that we are discussing now and i don't want to go too far down the path in terms of the specifics about it, but it's something that i can tell you all of the members of the committee take seriously. >> so no final decisions on that, and beyond this hearing the committee expect to issue a final report about its findings. the last piece of business it has to do, and this is most challenge and perhaps the most important one, the legislative work, and there's a piece of
8:20 am
legislation that would make it harder for candidates in the future to steal elections, and that's something the committee hopes to get done, and they are looking at all of this, the final report as well as the passing of the legislation on a timeline by the end of the year, and the committee's charter dissolves by the end of the year. >> so it has two audiences, the doj and american people, making a case to the doj and the american people and how the doj will move forward with this thing. if you are looking to wrap up these committee hearings into a bow, and we heard ginni thomas could be featured, and how do you wrap it up if it's, in fact, the last and final? >> it depends on what their findings have been. one unanswered question has been
8:21 am
the extent to which the trump inside team, including roger stone were connected up to the oath keepers and proud boys, and the oath keepers on trial for engaging in the preplanned violent attack, and we know there are connections between those groups and roger stone and michael flynn. that could tie conspiracy charges back to trump. we have seen suggestions of it, but if they have the evidence now is the time to show that to the world. and the ginni thomas information could be interesting. if it's something where she has a bizarre belief that donald trump won the election, and i don't think that gets you far in preventing that to the american people, but if you can show what she was communicating and advancing the scheme, then i
8:22 am
think that could be powerful testimony. >> i want to read from your report from politico, and let me read you this. one e-mail between two of trump's lawyers a week before the january 6th attack saying this, a shame you are not in d.c. and could contribute to violation of the emoluments clause. what do you make of this, barb? >> i think there's two ways to look at these. one is the superficial lawyer where trump lawyers were laughing at the role he played in, you know, violating emoluments clauses and other kinds of aspects of the constitution, but i think the more important takeaway here is this demonstrates there are more e-mails that have not been received by the committee, so what is it that john eastman held back? he held these back, and what
8:23 am
else did he hold back? it's a question the committee wants to hear because there are additional e-mails that could be damaging to eastman and trump and others. >> good point. thank you both as always. just in the last half hour or so we saw steve bannon walk into a new york courtroom, and bannon is being charged in the same scheme he faced several federal charges in 2020 but was pardoned by president trump, and he has plead not guilty. republican candidate, herschel walker, denies a report in the daily beast that he paid for a girlfriend's abortion. and will the supreme court

8:28 am
in the last hour, oral arguments began before the supreme court on the case involving a landmark voting act and race, and the case known as merrill v sreut began. they were aurging the districts were gerrymandered. despite the fact that more than a quarter of the state's population is, in fact, black, and the outcome of the case could have bigger implications as well. i want to bring in our correspondent. let's talk specifically about the makeup of the supreme court and how things went in the last session? you got a 6-3 conservative majority. what do you foresee happening here? >> well, good morning. this is, of course, a landmark
8:29 am
supreme court case, and it's centering on voting rights and gerrymandering and race. there are some suing to break up the one majority black district, and there's seven districts and one is black, and that's 14%, but alabama has a 27% black population. going into the civil rights act, they are hopefully this will stop diluting the power of african americans, and the map has to change, and they see a 6-3 majority court as a hard place to make their case. and jon merrill, he says he feels confident they will be able to successfully defend these maps. >> if this is deemed constitutional, what do you expect the public reaction to be to all of it? >> well, if these congressional
8:30 am
maps are deemed constitutional, you can expect to see civil rights activists speaking out and saying the 1955 voting rights act is more weakened, and that's the case they will be making, and there are already ongoing protests as oral arguments are under way, and this is really a chipping away at this country standing up and becoming the place it wants to be, which is equal voting rights and access to the balance ballot box. >> i know the president is going to be announcing guidelines on abortion rights, just 100 days or so since the overturn of roe.
8:31 am
>> they are going to be talking about the fact that the president is doing everything he can by executive actions to have protections for abortion, and roe v. wade did take away the right of abortion in this country, and you can expect possibly the vice president to be speaking, talking about the constitutional rights of women, and they see abortion as a human right. we will be watching the white house for that as well. >> appreciate it. good to talk to you. this morning, everybody, we are following a major development is that rocking one of the most closely-watched senate races in the country with just 35 days to go until election day. georgia senate candidate, herschel walker, is denning a daily beast report that he got a woman pregnant and paid for her
8:32 am
abortion in 2009. the woman said walker, who was not married at the time, that it would be more convenient to terminate the pregnancy, and said it was not the right time to have a child, and according to the woman and her friend took care of her in the days after the procedure, and it published what the woman said was a get well card signed by walker, and she provided the receipt from the abortion clinic and a bank deposit showing an image of walker's check reimbursing her for the costs of this procedure. nbc has not independently reviewed these documents or verify. and herschel's son writing this, i know my mom and i would really appreciate it if my father stopped lying and making a
8:33 am
mockery of us. you are not a family man. when you left us to bang a bunch of women. walker tweeted last night he loves his sunday no matter what. >> i send out so much of anything, and i can tell you right now i never asked for anybody to get an abortion or paid for an abortion. that's a lie. >> political reporter for the atlantic journal constitution and msnbc political contributor is joining us now. it's great to talk to you. how things have blown up over the last 24 hours or so. note for folks, herschel walker is denning this saying he denies it in the strongest possible terms. having said that and all the details i just went through, how critical is this for the race in georgia? >> to say it's a bombshell is an
8:34 am
underestimate. and the republicans that brushed off reports of walker's history of violence and erratic behavior and exaggerations on the campaign trail, and they are now very nervous about his mid-term race, and herschel walker's 23-year-old adult son has been so outspoken in the last few days condemning his father. >> i want to play part of a video he released a couple hours ago doubling down on what he tweeted out earlier. let's watch that and then we will talk. >> he has four kids, four different women, was not in the house raising one of them. he was out having sex with other women. do you have family values. i am just saying don't act like
8:35 am
you are a moral family man. >> so at this point it's not just this woman making these allegations, which have been verified by "the daily beast," and we here at msnbc have not verified the documents. then you have this coming from his own family. i am wondering how republicans are reacting to all of this? >> it's raw and hard to watch. we are not sure of the impact of what it looks like on the campaign trail, but there are a significant number of republicans, conservatives sceptical of herschel's race, and now we can see republicans more aggressively distancing themselves from herschel walker. >> i am looking at my phone for this, because it literally just came in.
8:36 am
you have a mcconnell super pac saying we are doubling down on herschel walker, and eric erickson, saying walker has not mounted a response and this is brutal. are you expecting more things to come? >> yeah, you know, there could always be more revelations. there's all sorts of rumors and talk out there. the political world is in chatter box mode. national republicans don't have any other option. their path to flipping the senate really relies on work in nevada, in georgia and pennsylvania. they don't have too many options outside those states, so they have to double down right now. >> it's interesting, because as we were on a editorial call this morning, we couldn't help but remember when the "access
8:37 am
hollywood" tape came out, and we thought it was it for donald trump, and we know how that played out. i wonder if the same could be said for this, especially as you see prominent republicans doubling down on their support for him? >> herschel walker has weathered other crisis before, and you can't turn on the tv in georgia where there's an ad about herschel walker holding a gun to his wife's head, and he could survive this, and republicans will try and make the pitch even if you don't like herschel walker, you want to vote for his policies and platform in certain conservative issues. >> certainly the story is not over. greg, thank you. appreciate it. so once the midterms are past us, the sprint to 2024
8:38 am
begins, and today president biden is answering a major question about his plans. he will be on the ballot. nbc news learned the president shared the news with reverend al sharpton, and he said i will do it again. biden has confided with sharpton asking his advice back in 2019 before he even declared his candidacy. biden's team has hinted the president will, if fact, seek re-election, but at age 79, joe biden would leave the white house at 86 if he were to win a second term. up next, new threats overnight from north korea that launched its longest weapons test ever, and the response from the united states and allies as well. and then more sweeping gains for ukrainian forces. how they are pushing russian troops further out of key

settle down there, big guy the new subway series. what's your pick? welcome back, everybody. heading oversees now, the u.s. and south korea responding to north korea's longest ever weapons test, and it went a distance of some 2,800 miles before crashing into the pacific ocean. and it set off sirens over japan. it's most provocative by the way yet, and our foreign correspondent joins us now with more about this. what do we know about this launch, this test? really, how is the international community responding? >> reporter: this is a major
8:44 am
escalation, an intermediate range ballistic missile flying a record 2,800 miles and going right over japan. people having to run for cover, and millions heeding the sirens, and that's rare. only twice before have missiles flown over japan, and both were in 2017. this one flew for 22 minutes before crashing into the ocean, some 2,000 miles off the east coast. officials are reacting harshly to this. overnight the state department calling it reckless and dangerous with deeply destabilizing implications for the region, as well the pentagon confirming the u.s. along with south korea conducted precision bombing drills and the u.s. did a joint air exercise with japan as well. president biden just spoke with japanese prime minister.
8:45 am
and there have been five missile launches in the past ten days, and 23 of them so far this year, and also that there have been increased capabilities. so north korea now could see the opportunity to test longer range weapons because for the longest time, the u.s. barely noticed that they were testing the short-range missiles. as well, there's the sense this could be the preamble to a nuclear test by kim jong-un, and this is something he has not done for the past five years, but this is seen widely as a provocative step towards that. >> yes, certainly some escalation. thank you. let's turn now to the war in ukraine, everybody. this morning ukrainian forces broke through the southern and eastern regions, causing russian forces to retreat.
8:46 am
meanwhile more than 200,000 russians have already been drafted according to the country's defense minister, and the interior minister said 200,000 russians have fled the country to kazakhstan. this is astounding, right? the advances, the ukrainian forces have made in the last couple of days along, of course, with this draft happening in russia, in which russians are running from. >> reporter: right, and if you look at the big picture here, what is clear is that the ukrainian army is going to make as many gains as fast as they can before winter sets in. we are a month away from it being so cold that moving around as a military becomes difficult on both sides, and among the officials, at some point these lines are going to become static
8:47 am
in the months in which it gets cold, and ukrainian officials said they will try and take back as much territory as they can, and it's at a vital crossing point that has been taken and the russian troops pulled away and retreated so quickly that they left dead soldiers laying in the road, and we have seen that time and time again, and it gives you an indication the russian military cannot control the space its in with the speed at which the ukrainian armies are moving forward. and ukrainian troops are breaking through the lines, and that's on the southern front, so we are seeing these gains being made, all of which is happening less than a week after vladimir putin said that these four regions would be part of russia and the people who live within them were russian citizens, and those people right now are seeing the ukrainian army go past them and the russian army
