7:01 am
critical races stand this morning. plus in a couple hours, the man accused of attacking the husband of house speaker nancy pelosi is expected in court. the new details about what he was allegedly planning. also, right now, anguished families confronting the parkland shooter in court today. what they have said so far. and overseas, former israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu tried to return to power as israelis head to the polls for the fifth time in less than four years. we have a live report from jerusalem. and we begin this very busy hour with the intensifying midterm races now just seven days from election day. so far, more than 23 million people have already voted. both parties are looking for that crucial 11th-hour boost from party stars.
7:02 am
today president biden will be in battleground florida stumping for democratic gubernatorial candidate charlie crist and val demings here in the south florida area. former president obama making a campaign push and in a few hours former president trump kicking off a blitz for his republican allies spanning across four battleground states leading up to election day. joining us with more nbc news correspondent dasha burns live from pennsylvania. also with us, cnbc congress' correspondent elan wei and dean of school of public service at the university of arkansas also an msnbc contributor. dasha, from pennsylvania. you said the closer we get to election day the worse voters feel about options. what do you mean by that? >> reporter: look, jose, well,
7:03 am
the candidates are pulling out all the stops in this final stretch. as we talk to voters they don't seem particularly excited about, well, anyone. whether talking to republicans, democrats or independents still undecided. after the debate people sort of lost that enthusiasm and in this final stretch people are really feeling some of the pressures from the economy, their really taking these issues personally, that these candidates are talking about, and they want to hear more solution-oriented ads. more solution-oriented values, where they feel like instead there's a whole lot of attacking the opponent instead of talking about what they can do for everyday pennsylvanians. i want you to hear from two voters we talked to, tachara and arianne, met them at a dance studio here in lucerne county. talking to moms, many know, moms run the world, and see some of
7:04 am
these economic pressures, and really in tangible ways. take a listen to a currently pregnant woman with triplets and a mom of two, and arianne, a mom of two as well. take a listen. >> as of right now, my health is great. the babies' health, they're great. i'm going to leave it in god's hands, but what if the it wasn't great? what if the doctors were telling me i was in danger? i have two children at home i also have to think about and i want to be able to make that choice. i don't want anyone to be able to make that choice for me. >> i think my biggest thing as a mom, you know, as an employee, as a single mom as well, is i want to be able to support my children, and that's something at risk over the past two years under the policies that we currently have and i don't want anymore of that. >> reporter: so you hear right there, jose, the two issues that both parties are banking on to get voters to the polls.
7:05 am
democrats hoping abortion will drive people like tachara , passionate about that issue and republicans, hoping crime gets voters out for them. clearly a lot can happen in a state like pennsylvania, jose. >> dasha. indeed. meanwhile, president biden and former president obama expect ed to be out on the trail together? >> yes, and president trump as well. seeing a lot of action here this weekend. because of democrats, who lost places like lucerne, used to be a democratic stronghold but went for trump. because of that democrats no ed to turn out philadelphia and suburbs like bucks county, montgomery county. so the visit from obama and biden is going to be really important trying to get people
7:06 am
excited and to get to the polls in these really critical areas, jose. >> yeah. i mean, meanwhile, you're out in las vegas, elan, struggling to win over the latino voters. the only latina serving in the senate. why is that? >> reporter: yeah. first, jose, be clear that majority of latino voters still identify as democrats. even here in nevada, recent polling shows senator cortez mastio is leading within that group by a wide margin. something like 60% to 27% for the republican, but the concern is that nationally that gap has been shrinking as more latinos move over to the gop. so at a campaign event yesterday, we asked about this issue specifically. asked how she plans to connect to these communities in the final week of the race. >> i know these people. i know them. this is my family. so this is what they -- really
7:07 am
that's the connection is understanding the community and just showing up and engaging and talking with them. >> reporter: so she talked about her grandfather, worked at the pit boss and parked cars, aunts and uncles others played in the hospitality industry. playing up her history, jose and saying the issues latinos care about are not that different from the same kitchen table issues the rest of america cares about. >> elan, what are the top issues in that race? >> reporter: i think just like you heard dasha say in pennsylvania. that the economy is front and center. our own nbc polling shows latinos are more worried about the economy than the rest of the general public. a place like nevada the price of gas over $5, one of three in the country actually that high, we hear that concern from voters. in fact, the folks we talked to here on the ground from every
7:08 am
demographic group said they're concerned about that, and many people are not even filling up their gas tank all the way. only putting in $15, $20 at a time because they can't afford it. jose, there's also a lot of skepticism here that anyone in washington can do anything to bring those prices down no matter if they're republican or if they're democrats. >> so victoria, what's your takeaway from reporting out of that area specifically? >> so we've seen nevada be very tight in the past, and i was thinking back to 2010 when harry reid almost lost that race leading up to the 2010 midterm. everybody thought harry reid was going to go down, and, again, nevada is just the state where it can be incredibly close. you have a rural republican base along with a strong latino democratic base, but i do think the point made earlier, that this mobilization that is happening in these last couple of days. this direct mobilization,
7:09 am
engaging with the latino community, is going to be what, again, pulls it out. if i were a betting woman, just looking at the patterns of engagement in nevada and also remembering that it has a very strong labor component. that labor component, which has been activated, is very good at that turnout. in nevada, not so much as persuasion, seeing in swing states of pennsylvania, for example. it's about getting people out and to the polls. >> yeah. meanwhile, victoria, president biden is heading to florida today, where latino voters are also key to both parties defense. what message does he need to send in florida, where both parties are falling behind. >> the base. mobilizing the base. in a way even though negativity can sometimes turn off voters, in this case, i think that president biden has to highlight
7:10 am
the alternative scenario under a republican win. i think this is the case for president biden to do that, and even though president biden has been down in polls, approval rating in the tank, let's remember, that this was joe biden, every-day joe, very good connecting with people when he has that opportunity. putting him in this base will allow him to connect with people and let them see what can happen if we bring democrats back. >> joining us, victoria, dasha and elan, thank you for joining us. today meanwhile the suspect in the brutal attack of the husband of house speaker nancy pelosi faces a judge for the first time. federal prosecutors charged him with attempting kidnapping, assault on an immediate member of an official and the san francisco district attorney announced six additional state charges, including attempted murder, and assault with a deadly weapon. speaker pelosi released a
7:11 am
statement on her husband paul's condition saying in part "paul's making steady progress on what will be a long recovery process." joining us now, nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian. also with us jake sherman, co-founder of punch bowl news and an msnbc news political contributor. ken what can we learn today about the arraignment? >> good morning, jose. assuming this defendant shows up to court today, we may learn a little more about his mental state and we may see who his attorney is but already learned a lot yesterday from that federal affidavit after the justice department decided to weigh in and file charges and allege essentially david depape came to the pelosi residence with a plan to kidnap and injure the speaker of the house as a way of sending a message to congress. so two very serious federal charges, and then the san francisco district attorney weighed in with a set of six state charges.
7:12 am
let's take a listen to the san francisco d.a. >> what iological say is that he was looking for the speaker at the time he entered the home. of course, the federal affidavit contains a bit more information about other things that, motivations expressed but certainly did enact what we believe is an attempt to murder her husband at the time, at the time that the police arrived. >> reporter: so he is charged with attempted murder in state court and the federal charges include a very serious charge of trying -- injuring a close relative of a federal official in a way designed to coerce or intimidate that official. it's a charge that carry as political motive and carries a 30-year prison sentence, jose. >> and the ken what do we know about the suspect? does he have a criminal record? >> reporter: no known criminal history, at least a violent one. which makes it so concerning for law enforcement officials, because this is a person living on the margins of society for
7:13 am
years. has a history of living in storage units, living in a garage. as far as, as long as ten years ago writing letters to family members talking about, comparing himself to jesus christ. not a mentally stable person, but more recently has really come into the grip of paranoid conspiracy theories, qanon, culture war stuff related to far-right politics and apparently led to violence through some of those beliefs, which is what really, again, deeply concerning to law enforcement officials worried about the rhetoric animating today's politics, as i said. >> ken, police apparently had body cameras's when is that going to be made public? >> reporter: unclear. a significant moment for the pelosi family presumably showing paul pelosi being attacked in a very vicious manner's not clear what the rules are in california about relesioning that, jose a. good point.
7:14 am
jake, what's the latest reaction from lawmakers about this attack? >> i can tell you, jose, widespread fear about peoples spouses from people's spouses, from lawmakers. i fielded a number of phone calls from concerned lawmakers the last couple days who say, could be me. of course, not everybody has the prominence and profile that nancy pelosi has on capitol hill and nationwide, but lawmakers in their communities are relatively well-known figures and they are, their spouses, either husbands or wives, are sitting ducks in many respects. the capitol gives lawmakers money to harden security at their house. the capitol police officers offer services to assessments at lawmakers' houses, put cameras up, coordinate with local police, but no one has -- a misconception that members of congress have security details. they don't. a few. leadership have security details. i will just say i think there's a re-examining, all reporting has shown and we reported at
7:15 am
punch bowl news capitol police has begun re-examining security of members. paul pelosi, think about it, spouse to the third-most powerful public official in the united states. not even he has security, full-time capitol police security at his home in the middle of a large city when his wife, speaker of the house, who has a large-scale security detail is out of town. so i think there's just widespread fear consternation that this could happen. >> few public officials have security details. the president, the vice president. nancy pelosi. very few senators, even, legislaors have a full-time security detail. >> reporter: that's right. in addition to that, the capitol police have been protecting lawmakers about threat-based situation more than ever before.
7:16 am
i mean, there are individual senators, members of congress. liz cheney, for example, has a capitol security detail. they decide whether this person should have a full-time capitol police detail, but the capitol police is really short staffed. really strapped for cash. lots of people retired since january 6th. kind of been a spate of retirements since january 6th, and they don't have the resources either money or human beings to really spread more, give more people security details, even in this time where political violence and threats of political violence are at an all-time high. >> thank you both very much for being with us this morning. breaking news. the supreme court just temporarily blocked former president donald trump's tax records from being given to a house committee. joining us now, nbc news supreme court reporter lawrence hurley. good morning. what does this mean?
7:17 am
>> women what this means is that the lower court ruling allowed for these tax returns to be handed over to the house ways and means committee. temporarily put on hold. that was going to go into effect thursday, would have meant imminently those materials would be handed over to the committee, possibly before the election, or before the potential changeover of congress. but now that's all put on hold. the chief justice saying he wants to hear from the committee in response to trump's emergency request. that's not going to be due until november 10th. so everything is now frozen until the committee makes its response, and then the supreme court probably as a whole will decide whether to grant trump's request. >> so that's november 10th and then they will go through the process as a supreme court deciding one way or the other. right? >> yeah. that's right. >> go ahead. >> well, i was going to say that
7:18 am
the, trump has not fared well in similar requests like this over the last year or so since he left office. the fact roberts issued this temporary stay does not mean that the court's necessarily going to rule in his favor even though his has sixes conservative majority with three justices appointed by trump himself. >> good point. appreciate it. thanks very much. still ahead, u.s. military personnel on the ground in ukraine. we explain why, coming up. first, gun violence in chicago. 14 people were shot. the youngest victim, 3 years old. we're live with an update. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports." with our flea and tick meds. it's not peanut butter. ♪ the peanut butter box is here ♪ i'm out. pet prescriptions delivered to your door. chewy. here, is cvs health. here, we'll never be told our concerns are all in our head.

2 is past the hour. overnight tragedy in chicago where at least 14 people were shot in a drive-by shooting including a 3-year-old, an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old. no deaths reported. the condition of those wounded ranges from non-life threatening to critical. live from chicago with the very latest, our reporter outside one of the hospitals where victims have been taken. jorge, good morning. what do we know? >> reporter: hey, jose. live at stroger hospital where some of the most serious victims were transported overnight. that 3-year-old you mentioned was listed at last check in serious condition. the hospital right behind me.
7:23 am
the chicago superintendent police department says that 14 people were shot in just a matter of seconds, and that just gives you an idea the type of weapons used last night. at least 14 people were shot while many gather at a vigil at corner of the garfield neighborhood on the west side of chicago. the loke alterman says many of the people at the corner were memorializing someone who died of natural causes. that's when police say a dark-colored suv drove past just before 9:30 and appeared two people shot towards the crowd. police also tell us that a woman was hit by a car trying to run from the gunfire and listed in fair condition this morning. a spokesperson for the chicago police department saying that the people shot were all innocent bystanders. at least that's what it seems like at this hour. there is a $15,000 reward
7:24 am
tonight for whoever gives information that would lead to an arrest and a conviction. out here in chicago, there is concern of possible retaliation today. jose? back to you. >> jorge with telemundo chicago, thank you for that report. and a sentences hearing is happening now for the shooter in the parkland school massacre. he will be sentenced to life in prison, but now families are the 17 people he murdered are giving their statements. the jury in his penalty trial last month could not unanimously agree that the shooter deserved a death sentence, which came as a shock to so many stoneman douglas families. sam brock joins us from outside the courtroom in fort lauderdale. sam what are we hearing so far today? >> jose, extremely powerful testimony already going on about an hour and a half this morning. from family members and victims here. this is a very different sort of
7:25 am
dynamic than we witnessed a couple months ago when there were victim impact statements during the death penalty phase of that trial. in that situation they could only talk how there was a gaping whole in her lives, the impact on the families, fractures that will never heal. allowing victims and family members to directly address nikolas cruz. exactly what they did. one mother saying the mere fact you and i are sharing the same air right now sends shivers down my spine. another mother saying, i know what you should do with all that time spending in jail. write a book about how you and your defense team beat the legal system because there is no way you should not be receiving capital punishment here. that echoed so many sentiments heard today. all, many of he's in family members looking directly at nikolas cruz. wearing a mask, hard to see any facial reaction he had. barely moved throughout this process. one father just called him the parkland murderer. no one addressed him by his first name. this was really just an
7:26 am
opportunity to vent about the decision you mentioned it a second ago. 9 out of 12 jurors voted for the death penalty. however in florida it has to be a unanimous decision. here's a portion what we just heard inside of that courtroom. >> you stole him from us, and you did not receive the justice that you deserved. >> you are, unfortunately, living proof that evil does exist in our world and you've proven you have nothing positive to contribute to society. >> if killing 17 innocent people and wounding 17 more does not warrant the death penalty then what possibly does? i'm too old to see you without your life sentence, but i hope you're ever grieving moment-- breathing moment here on earth is miserable. >> reporter: jose, knowing so many people have the exact same question about the death
7:27 am
penalty. important context. until 2016, a simple majority for the death penalty to take place but partially struck down by the supreme court allowing judges to impose capital punishment even if jurors didn't find it warranted. that course corrected in florida several years later imeasy positived a law has to be unanimous putting it in line with almost every other 17 states allowing for capital punishment in this country. nonetheless controversial. the governor stepped in, governor desantis, saying that has to be changed in florida. jose? >> sam brock, thank you very much. appreciate it. up next, live in kyiv one day after shelling knocked out power, and water, to most of the ukrainian capital. we've got the conditions on the ground today, next. . you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports." they only cover select cities with 5g. and with coverage of over 96% of interstate highway miles,

water and electricity restored to kyiv a day after a wave of russian strikes knocked out water access to 80% of customers, according to the city's mayor. meanwhile, days after russia suspendeds participation in a u.n.-backed green deal, three more ships with grain and food left ukrainian ports today. joining us from kyiv, nbc news foreign correspondent and former supreme allied commander of nato and an nbc news chief international analyst. molly, what's the latest on the ground there today? >> reporter: yeah. jose, you mentioned figures from yesterday. 80% of the capital without water. restored. 1,000 specialists, we understand, working overnight to restore power and water. we understand from the local government everyone has electricity back. they are back online, but that doesn't necessarily mean everyone can turn on their lights. emergency rolling blackouts, all because in the capital where
7:33 am
cities like kharkiv in the west lost power. the infrastructure, not up to speed yet. a lot of cities hit yesterday are still struggling today. i want to mention reporting from colleague courtney kube saying soviet unionier u.s. military official tell nbc news had a wide-range strike and directly harming the civilian population. we have to talk about the critical infrastructure attacks as attacks directly on the civilian population. that is who suffers when a power plant wipes out power for a city. also i bring your attention down to the black sea. really watches, jose, you mentioned three ships left today. when russia suspended support for the black sea grain deal, not only did they suspend support, refused to guarantee safety of ships leaving port, ukraine ports, carrying life-saving grain. we know at least three have left. president zelenskyy said ukrainians will continue to support this deal.
7:34 am
the real fear, though, is that if russia's not guaranteeing safety, is there a threat of attacks on those ships that are heading to the middle east and to africa with grain? >> no. no. >> thank you, molly hunter from kyiv for that report. appreciate it. so -- aadmiral, u.s. military personnel on the ground inspecting what is, where it's going and an intense phone call between president biden and zelenskyy back in june. what do you make of this? >> overall continuing support to ukraine. the phone call you mentioned, i think kind of level set the relationship between the two leaders, and everything i can see, support is continuing strongly, and the indications that there may be very small numbers of u.s. troops on the ground is indicative of that. i think there's two reasons
7:35 am
those troops are there, jose. one is to continue to maintain accountability. make sure those weapons don't somehow bleed out into black markets. maintain accountability, and then secondly, to make sure the ukrainians are capable of fully using them militarily. it's a good thing to see small numbers of u.s. troops there, in my view. >> and admiral, the uk's ministry of defense tweeted 0 ut that russia may have stationed a long-range ballistic missile in belarus, first time, according to recent strategy and military imagery. belarus is one of russia's oldest and closest allies but in this conflict closely aligned with putin's how significant is this? >> i think it is less than meets the eye. as follows -- putin can certainly range much of western europe firing from russian soil. the fact that he's moved a few
7:36 am
launchers, a few hundred kilometers east doesn't really change the calculus significantly. it's really in a way of showing that he's in control of belarus. not luka shanko, dictator. belarus is really a creature of vladimir putin's russia, but militarily, jose, this does not change the calculus for nato or the west. >>admiral, we enter 1st of november, winter coming, invasion that started 24th of february, how do you see things going forward in the near future? >> you know, one way to think about this, jose is that we think traditionally of two combatants in this war. russia and ukraine. a third combatant is entering the war, and that is, in fact, winter. we'll have significant impact on both forces. it will cause ground operations to slow down considerably. it will put more of a premium,
7:37 am
and you see it already, in the air strikes that putin is conducting. the level of ukrainian ability with our help to knock down those air strikes, and operations on the black sea. the fact that russia has pulled out of this grain agreement is kind of ominous. i think putin would be very foolish to attack those grain tankers on humanitarian missions's that would almost certainly create a response from nato, the united states, you would see nato warships go up to escort those grain shipments. so as winter comes on, land operations are going to slow down. watch the air. watch the sea. >> yeah. and destroying the infrastructure precisely looking out for this. admiral, a pleasure. thank you for being with us this morning. up next, the race for georgia. in the race for georgia governor incumbent brian kemp looking for a boost from one of the

leaving you feeling instantly dry and confident. 41 past the hour. right now in battleground georgia new polling show as heated senate between democratic senator raphael warnock and republican challenger herschel walker. at this time warnock leads walker by just three points. that's within the margin of error. this is georgia's incumbent republican governor brian kemp, looking for a boost from one of his party's biggest names, former vice president mike pence who will campaign with him later today. joining us now, msnbc news correspondent in georgia. blayne what can we expect to see today? >> reporter: jose, around this time in the race we start to see big names come out. down to the final day. essential today is not exception. former vice president mike pence
7:43 am
is going to join georgia governor brian kemp right here at the shop behind me. a cigar shop here in forsyth county, georgia. continuing to push early voting message. something i'll get to in a minute. i rail think we're going to hear from both candidates on the trail, of course, brian kemp and stacey abrams closing arguments. this is a race heavy on policy. from governor kemp, looked back kind of pointed closely to his record over the past four years. stacey abrams, however, made the case that record hasn't been working for a lot of people and going to make changes going forward. i think it's a, talking about what to expect from mike pence and brian kemp who is actually coming here to show support and throw support behind georgia's governor? talking about the former have, about chris christie. both people with rather public blips with former president trump, something to read into
7:44 am
and watch as well. this is forsyth county, about an hour north outside atlanta. reliably red area. when it comes to early voting, georgia's largest counties, largest percentage of electorate turned out here. some 28%. interesting. we hear democrats push the early voting message. something democrats typically do habitually. this time, republicans are doing the same thing. heard it from a number of stops made with the govern every along the way. trying to urge supporters to come out early. already seen record-breaking early voting members. 1.6 voters have cast early in-person ballots that is certainly more than we saw at this point in 2018. it's very close relatively to what we saw back in 2020 which was a presidential year. we know both parties will continue to push that, and continue to get people to go out and vote ahead of election day, jose. >> blaine alexander, thank you so much. tense moments to report in
