hello, i'm chris jansing, back with you live from headquarters in new york city. a sea of red, demonstrators storm the paris office of the world's largest money manager on the 1 1th day of protests agains the government's controversial pension reforms. and the new subpoena from house republicans that targets the manhattan d.a.'s hush money probe. and paranoid war criminal, how a former officer inside vladimir putin's elite security

unit describes his former boss now that he's defected. also, we're watching for a vote any minute now to remove three tennessee democrats for protesting against gun violence after last week's horrific shooting at the covenant school. our nbc reporters are following all of the latest developments, and we begin with that unprecedented vote happening today in nashville nbc's lindsey reiser has been following this for us. what's happening on the house floor now, and where does the vote stand >> reporter: they went through the normal business of the day, hearing 29 bills now they're in a section of the proceeding called unfinished business and they're in a bit of a recess, it appears, but then each resolution to expel each member will be voted on separately the members will have a chance to defend themselves we have justin pierson of memphis, gloria johnson of knoxville and justin jones of nashville. you're looking at video here

i was here at the capitol in nashville on this day last thursday when these three lawmakers joined in chants for people calling for gun control, and you can see right there, they took a bull horn, they interrupted official proceedings and so house leaders called their actions an insurrection. they said they did knowingly and intentionally bring disorder and dishonor to the house and that dishonor, which adversely affects the integrity and dignity of the house is warranted of expulsion this is an extraordinary step, chris. this hasn't happened we've got three cases that we can point to according to the tennessean in both chambers that this has happened since the civil war, and all involved either alleged crimes or convictions, and so we have these lawmakers who are saying, look, the legislature's not going to take up this gun control, we're going to make them we're going to interrupt proceedings here, and they knew that it would end up with some kind of action obviously didn't think it would end up leading to their

expulsion. the speaker defending his actions and essentially saying to those on the other side saying this is good trouble to quote john lewis, he's saying that there are blatant disregar for house rules. i have been speaking to people at the rally today one mom, the mom who organized the rally last week, actually, she told me she believes this is a crisis of democracy. she's so upset this is happening. also happening today, we heard the house pass some resolutions here addressing school safety including barriers, including locked doors but some of the critics are telling me that they think this is a band-aid to an issue, that they think this is not addressing the heart, and even one one of the lawmakers inside who was opposed to this said this is essentially giving aspirin for the cancer, chris. >> thanks so much for that, lindsey reiser, we're going to continue to watch and wait for that vote to take place. meantime, in d.c., house republicans are making good on their promise to target manhattan d.a. alvin bragg starting by issuing a subpoena to one of his ex-prosecutors

nbc's sahil kapur is on capitol hill what's this all about? >> reporter: hey, chris, this is the first subpoena of the republican investigation into the trump investigators. this one goes out to mark pomeranz from judiciary chairman jim jordan who's telling him to sit for a deposition before the committee. who is mark pomeranz he's a former special assistant d.a. in the manhattan d.a.'s office starting in 2021 when he helped lead the trump investigation. fast forward to early 2022, newly minted d.a. alvin bragg is sworn in he looks unlikely to charge trump. pomeranz resigns, says this move is wrong and misguided he insists that trump is guilty of numerous felony violations and then writes a book about it and takes it on the road jim jordan is saying that pomeranz is uniquely situated to provide information into that republican investigation, so what does jim jordan want here his motives are not difficult to decipher jordan sees pomeranz to bolster his claim that this is a

politically motivated indictment, a claim that jordan was making your public resignation reportedly left d.a. bragg deeply stung he goes on to say your book also contributed to the political pressure d.a. bragg felt to bring charges against former president trump. nbc has reached out to pomeranz's firm and to the top democrat of the judiciary committee, chris, we have not heard back >> sahil kapur, thank you for that meantime, we're getting some major revelations from a former member of russian president vladimir putin's elite security detail he just defected, and gave a sweeping new interview nbc's matt bradley is live in kyiv for us. among the things that i've seen, he said that putin is pathologically afraid for his life and has lost his grip on reality. tell us a little more about this >> reporter: yeah, chris, he said those things, and he also described president putin as a war criminal, which is of course would be agreed by the icc, who

issued an arrest warrant for him. this is a man, his name is gleb karakulav, he defected six months ago through kazakhstan, he went through turkey, and now he's in an undisclosed location, rightfully fearing for his and his family's life. this man was a captain in the federal protection services. this puts him right at the center of those who are protecting the president and the prime minister, and in this case, this man was in charge of setting up discrete communications for the president and the prime minister, and he describes just the level of paranoia that we have actually kind of heard from other sources, saying that he's totally paranoid about covid-19, he requires everyone around him to routinely be tested and go through two week quarantines, in order to basically have a sanitary spot all the way around him. he travels not in airplanes but this trains because he's worried that those planes could be monitored, and he doesn't have access to the internet or any

news other than state television he's just fed information by a close sadvise advisers. a lot of interest will focus on what the revelations say about the president himself and the risky nature this high level security official was able to divulge in information a lot of the more interesting stuff comes from other things he was saying vladimir putin is not suffering from a fatal disease we had been hearing that from a lot of sources that he was about to die that's not the case. he also describes in pain staking detail just how closed off russian society is if you get a chance to watch that interview, it really is worth it chris. >> sounds like it. matt bradley, thank you so much for that now to the latest from france where protesters stormed a major investment firm in paris. just one of many clashes with police over the government's pension reforms. nbc news foreign correspondent,

claudio is with us what are we seeing today >> reporter: they haven't backed off, chris the protests that have gripped france for the past few weeks against the pensions reform have now intensified, and the reason is that yesterday, the trade unions and the prime minister of france failed. now, today just to give you a couple of examples of protests that flared up all over the country, and especially in paris, on that occasion you just mentioned at the offices in paris now the black rock offices are in a major building in the center of paris, near the royal opera house and in the other opera house, and there were about 100 other trade workers protesters who stormed the hall of that building, holding red flares and firing smoke bombs, spent about a half hour in there and left the building. in another part of paris, a restaurant, where president macron in 2017 held a

celebratory dinner during the presidential campaign of that year was also targeted by protesters who were hurling, throwing stones at police, and at some point, the awning of the restaurant was on fire now, the protests flared up every else in other cities, in france, in leon, in nance, you name it. this protest against the pension reform is not going away it's only intensifying, chris. >> claudio lavanga, thank you for that. the 2024 playbook having to make adjustments after the trump indictment, president biden huddling with aids ahead of his reelection campaign. how democrats hope to keep the white house in just 60 seconds

another democratic challenger for the 2024 nomination, robert f. kennedy

jr., the nephew of former president john f. kennedy filed paperwork to run against president biden. he is an anti-vaxxor who compared u.s. vaccine policy to the nazis who led members of his own family to call his work misleading and dangerous cbs news reports the run was encouraged by a trump ally, steve bannon who sees kennedy as a useful chaos agent in the race. today, democrats '2024 playbook is being forced to make changes with president biden reportedly huddling with senior aides as recently as this week, their strategy being newly shaped by this seismic week in american politics, not only the trump indictment but also the favorable election results in chicago and wisconsin. jennifer palmeri knows a lot about messaging. she served as communications director in the obama white house and for hillary clinton's 2016 campaign, and is now co-host and producer of show time's "the circus."

brendan buck is a former aide to paul ryan and john boehner, both msnbc political analysts to understate things, jen, you know how campaigns can turn on a dime, look, but candidates know something's coming they just don't know what. they don't know when something might happen, what might happen. how do you deal with that or is it like anything else in a campaign, you're just going to have to buckle up and know change is coming >> i mean, fundamentally, it's the latter of what you said. i do think you want to constantly be distilling, refining, understanding what your core message is. >> just what we're hearing bidbide is doing this week >> right this hasn't changed since 2013 when he first started thinking about running for president. he's the anti-chaos president, the candidate that can make government work, that can make government accountable to

people, get things done, we have a little bit of a taste what it's going to be like to run a presidential campaign in the midst of criminal trials >> i mean, it sounds -- >> sounds crazy, but i think that's a great contrast for biden, but you have to worry about people making sure that they know he's doing his job, he's getting things done, and that's, you know, you got to break up the clutter. >> we've heard a little of that like a little offhand joke from a republican who said that, you know, they're not -- they've not paid off porn stars. but is it harder for republicans because they're dealing with a compressed schedule. in other words, a lot of these cases may play out in time for the general, but not necessarily in time for the primaries. how do you view the challenge on the republican side? >> yeah, once again, donald trump is controlling what we talk about he's center stage. and he's going to be crowding out a lot of his rivals, his opponents. in politics right now, getting

people's attention is the most valuable thing you can do and donald trump is very good at that, and now you have a situation here, once again, where he is going to dominate headlines, he's going to dominate tv. it makes it even harder for ron desantis or certainly someone like nikki haley, struggling to get any attention to get back on the stage. it's going to be hard for republicans. it's also going to be hard for i think joe biden. this is somebody who has a lot of work to do, you know, he's obviously had the platform of the presidency but his approval ratings are not in a strong position some polls recently have them as low as in the 30s. he's got to do a lot to redefine himself. i know that donald trump would be a very good person for them to run against you can't just assume that he's going to implode we've seen enough that there are a lot of people who are going to vote for joe biden, i mean, donald trump, and joe biden has a lot of work to do himself, positioning himself as someone people can trust to solve a lot of problems.

>> you also have to plan for the possibility that the republican nominee is not going to be who they think is the weakest candidate, which is donald trump, so, look, part of it is as you say, running as the anti-chaos, i'm getting things done, but i'm curious about the issues a lot of people are reading things into what happened in wisconsin. we saw what happened with the abortion issue in 2022 i heard our friend robert gibbs earlier in the day today saying the campaign's beginning, end, and middle for democrats is abortion do you agree with that >> not exactly, no i think that when abortion is -- you know, when it is about what we learned in '22 and wisconsin, too, that was not a close race it was 11. the democrat won by 11 points in that race. when abortion rights, when rights of women, democracy, when voters see that on the line, they turn out in very big numbers to vote for democrats. you know, so i think that -- and

that for me is the take away of wisconsin. it's the same take away from the midterms in 2022 i think for biden, you have to, you know, whether trump is the nominee or not, a republican nominee, including trump could make a compelling message against a biden presidency so you have to assume that there's going to be a good republican nominee that you're running against, who's going to have a good argument and be building, you know, to that now. i know that's what they're doing. they don't discount, you know, i have doubts about trump's ability to be effective as a general election no, ma'am neer -- nominee, but the white house does not discount his ability to drive a good strong message when he needs to be, and be disciplined when he needs to his ability to not just motivate his base but brings others along. if the economy is not in good shape, that's not an easy race that's what you see them

preparing for now. they know what their message is, they knew how to win in '20. they know how to win in '24. >> as we said at the beginning, stuff happens. one of the things that's happening right this minute is happening on the floor of the tennessee legislature, which is my understanding on this subject of whether they're going to expel three democratic members they've started talking about it i don't think they've started voting lindsey reiser, let me go to you. i know you're following it closely. what's happening >> reporter: they haven't started voting the lawmakers are going back and forth on some of the rules of today's proceedings. each member is going to get 20 minutes to make their case, and then there will be a vote. and remember, before each member is expelled, which by all accounts, we do expect that to be the case, given the numbers here, i'll get to that in a minute, each member will be able to vote for their own and the resolution before them, before they're expelled they're going to go in a certain order. the republicans want to play a

video from the house floor, what is at the center of this, republicans say they dishonored the chamber by joining in protests last week with people calling for gun control after the covenant school shooting in addition to the rules that the video that the republicans want to play, the democrats in the chamber are saying, look, we don't know if it's selective editing. we don't know anything about this we're looking for due process. representative mitchell right now on the floor here. they're basically arguing about the rules and how this is going to go down let me tell you about the makeup according to the state constitution, the house expulsion requires 2/3 of the body to approve thcis there are 95 members in the house. 75 are republican. they would need 66 for this vote we expect this expulsion vote to go forward of course barring any kind of last minute changes here, and we have a lot of lawmakers who are worried about the kind of precedent that this could set. remember at the top of the hour, i told you that this has

happened three times since the civil war, all involving alleged crimes or convictions. there's some back and forth as to what we can expect from these proceedings. we're going to keep on watching and let you know what happens. >> the guy who sat down is a guy named bill mitchell. he's a democrat. he just said the entire nation is watching. i'm not sure, brendan, he's not right. i mean, i think that americans are looking for maybe if appropriate is the right word or measured responses that are appropriate to what's happening, if you're a rule follower and you need to have rules in this country, you can say those democrats broke the rules. the question is what we're seeing on the floor right now in tennessee an appropriate reaction by the republicans. what do you make of what you're seeing, brendan? >> yeah, it's one of those situations where you kind of pick hypocrisy on whatever side you want, choose your own

adventure. i can't imagine a lot of these republicans were as upset about what happened on january 6th as they are what happened in their own chamber, as somebody who does care a lot about legislative institutions i do think what happened was really ugly, and there should be penalties. but these people may end up becoming political martyrs for a cause they care a lot about. maybe that ends up being more valuable to them there are people really really frustrated with state legislatures and congress all over the place for inaction on the issue that they're fighting about. so maybe this does provide a jolt of energy to this cause and moves it forward in some way. >> maybe it energizes people or depresses people whob say, you know, i voted for these folks, i'm a voter in tennessee, and you put somebody in because their ideas align with yours, and if they decide to stand up for those ideas that may align with yours, they may not represent you anymore. >> and these three representatives are from some of the biggest, you know, biggest

cities in tennessee. so, you know, we were talking about some of the biggest cities in tennessee not having representation or having at least the people they voted for thrown out, their representation is overturned. in politics, when things like this would happen, you worried about what you just said, is this going to suppress people, used to make people not want to turn out what we have seen in the last five years is that when things like this happen, when people see their rights being taken away, day really fight back. >> they're over it, right? >> yeah, and you know, tennessee is a really red state. this is a great way to start reinvigorating the democratic party in tennessee you saw today there is all the students that showed up last week demanding action. a lot of students are there at the state capitol today protesting it's the kind of thing -- and people, you know, in tennessee want action on something to be

done on school shootings, and they want it to include some kind of gun safety measures. >> what we have seen over the last couple of days or since the shooting, that took the lives of three 9-year-olds, and three adults is that he's right, the nation is watching and there are students all around the country willing to take up this cause. you don't have to be in tennessee, you don't have to be in nashville we're going to continue to follow this. we'll watch as the vote starts lindsey reiser, jen palmieri, brendan buck, you're going to stick around. inside the russian prison that's holding a detained american reporter so isolating that one person who's been there says it makes you crazy. plus new details about a tech executive stabbed to death in san francisco, putting the city and silicon valley on edge. what we know about the classified report congress is now getting on the chaotic afghanistan withdrawal, and what happens next you're watching "chris jansing reports," only on msnbc. >> woman: why did we choose safelite? we're always working on a project. while loading up our suv,

so there you have john kirby still at the podium. i think it's been at least 35, 40 minutes he has been getting a grilling by the white house press corps about that after action report on afghanistan which largely, from what we heard at the beginning of his remarks points the finger at what they see as the failings of the trump administration and the problems that they inherited. we just heard from john kirby. he said releasing this report is an extraordinary step. the white house has talked a lot about transparency so we're continue to go keep our eyes and ears on that briefing at the white house. meantime, we have also been watching some other news, disturbing details about what it's like inside that infamous russian president where "wall street journal" reporter evan g ger gershkovich is being held. one journalist who spent ten months in prison there in 2018

describes it as a frozen place the moment you arrive there, you are no longer a person with rights brett forest, one of the "wall street journal" reporters behind that piece joins me now. good of you to join us, brett. this prison, as you describe it, holds a grim place the word grim in russian lore. what can you tell us about who you talked with and what they told you about the conditions there? >> well, it's good to be with you, chris, and it's important that you're keeping evan's plight front and center. we do appreciate that. we spoke with many people who had been inmates there at the prison, located in moscow's northeastern section also lawyers and relatives of people who have stayed there, and it has a fearsome reputation, which dates to the stalinist purchases of the 1930s w when it's said t kgb would run tractor engines to

cover the sound of executions. since that time, since the fall of the soviet union, the fsb, russia's main security and intelligence agency has taken over control of the prison they run it as a pre-trial detention center but really it's an isolation center. prisoners are kept in their cells, 9 by 13 cell, 23 hours a day. they are let out for one hour of exercise every day, and that's all. they're not meant to see any other prisoners except for their cell mates. >> one thing that struck me about your reporting, people remember trevor reid spent four days there last year he said it was the most sinister of the six prisons where he was held what was so chilling even, i mean, nobody wants to be in any russian prison for a minute let alone four days but a relatively short stay because i think overall he was imprisoned for about three years. >> well, it's principally the

solitude that is the central point of that prison. it's meant to break you down it's meant to make you believe that others, your loved ones and your coworkers, who are outside the prison have forgotten about you. it's meant to break your spirit. there are regular, for many detainees, interrogations, you can see how one plays into the other. the isolation plays into the interrogation. for example, evan hasn't even as far as we know received a consular visit from the u.s. embassy in russia. it took about a week for our attorneys to get to him to see him. and certainly we hope that it's not this way for evan, but other detainees have stayed there, even though it's a pre-trial detention center, for months and years, we're hoping for a better fate for evan of course. >> as far as we know, as you say, he has not met with consular officials though we did get reports from his lawyers

having said that, i wonder if there's any doubt in the minds of anyone you talked to whether they're former detainees or officials that very specifically he was sent to that what is considered the worst of all the horrible prisons >> well, the reason he was sent there, it is an fsb prison, and the fsb is the group that detained him but it's meant for people accused of treason, of spying, of terrorism, really the highest crimes in russia, and that's where they're all collected often from distant parts of the country. they're all brought there to that prison in moscow. >> brett forest, we want to keep this story in people's front view, so thank you so much for writing about it, and thank you for coming on the program. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. now, we want to show you images of bollinger county, missouri, homes flattened, trees ripped from their roots, some of

the devastation as a tornado tour through the community two hours south of st. louis on wednesday morning. at least five people have been killed, five others hurt as the severe weather is far from over, we're now bracing for more storms from texas to the northeast. more than 11,000 households are without power just in texas right now with parts of that state under flash flood warnings nbc's morgan which hchesky is oe ground in dallas what's the latest on what's happening now and also the concerns about potential flooding there >> reporter: there is a real concern that flooding could be an issue, predominantly in the houston area right now we're enjoying a break from the rain in dallas, but we know that texas governor greg abbott has readied state resources ahead of what could be drenching rains that could prove to be serious in low lying areas in and around the houston area, but chris, if you follow this system, it is moving eastern and could prove to be a problem in

multiple states. we have seen the damage that it brought to southeastern missouri you mentioned bollinger county, five deaths as a result of that tornado that struck very early yesterday morning. officials have described that community, chris, as being borderline unrecognizable, saying it will never be the same, and there is somewhat of a tornado threat through some of the mid atlantic states today. but it's thunderstorms, hail, and potentially high winds that are proving to be an issue as this system continues to play its way that direction chris, we do know that right now as you mentioned there are still thousands without power, not just here in texas, but also in arkansas working to recover from that incredibly powerful ef3 tornado that struck last friday. their recovery actually was put on pause as a result of this storm system making its way through. we were there yesterday watching the recovery efforts there

fema has established a large presence for those who are going to need a place to stay going forward. and we know this is tornado season, chris, but it certainly doesn't make things easier when you see just how quickly things can change weather-wise. first came this threat of tornadoes. now we're looking at millions of people under flood watches, really all along the gulf coast here, and that is why at least for the remainder of today, there are going to be people across the country keeping an incredibly close eye on conditions, chris. >> we've seen these pictures and they're unbelievable morgan chesky, thank you, stay safe where you are. and the latest on the deadly stabbing of the cashapp ceo in san francisco. and how democrats are trying to flip the script on republicans on the issue of crime. do they have an effective message? wel 'ltalk about it when "chris jansing reports" returns t rid o. ♪tell me why!♪ because it stinks. ♪have you tried♪ ♪new downy rinse and refresh?♪

jurisdiction we'll keep our eye on that in the meantime in california, no arrests have been made in the stabbing death of cashapp founder bob lee early tuesday morning in san francisco. the police department is actively asking for anyone with information on lee's killing to call their tip line. niala charles is following this story for us this has shaken the community. it's shaken silicon valley what more do we know about this tech leader's tragic killing >> reporter: yeah, chris, bob lee was known as one of tech's moguls it's been two days since he was killed in san francisco, and since then, police still haven't released information about a possible suspect or motive here. they say the case is in its early stages they say that he was stabbed to death around 2:30 a.m. on tuesday near downtown san francisco. since then, officers have been seen looking through dumpsters and talking to people, and we do know that there are a lot of surveillance cameras in the area that we believe they will be using as they conduct this investigation.

now, in addition to bob lee's contributions to the tech industry, he'll also be remembered as a loving friend and father this is what one of his friends said to us >> it's going to be hard to imagine a world where you can't call bob and say, hey, i have this problem i'm thinking through, can you help me through it just absolutely devastated by that loss. we're playing the police find the suspect, that this doesn't happen to anyone else. >> reporter: bob lee's daughter, just 14 years old, also released a statement that was shared earlier. i want to read part of it to you. it says i could go on and on about everything i will never be able to experience with my dad, all because of somebody's cruelness to one of the kindest souls on earth i'll never see my dad again. i'm 14, and i have lost all faith in humanity. she says i wasn't supposed to lose my father so quick. now, lee's death has reignited conversations about safety and crime concerns in san francisco.

the d.a. there responding to those criticisms saying that it's going to take time, a problem that has taken years to build. in the last couple of years, we know that murder is up there along with robbery, theft and assault. all of these violent crimes, chris, so that's the concern there. we do know that for the people who live there, like i said, it's been a problem for them if you remember, the last d.a. last year was ousted by voters in a special recall election because of their frustrations over crime and in this instance with lee, the police chief is saying that violent crime is not tolerated within the city, and he says that investigators are working to get justice for lee's family, but are also working to get justice for all of the other families in san francisco impacted by homicides. chris. >> niala charles, thank you for that update. heartbreak to go hear from his 14-year-old daughter. the white house is trying to flip the political script on republicans on the issue of violent crime, an issue

democrats have been hammered on the past and now one the administration is trying to blame on maga extremists they are trying to gut funding for federal law enforcement, and in fact, former president donald trump certainly didn't help his party when he called exactly for that it hasn't gone over well with voters >> after he was arrested yesterday, apparently today donald trump has called for america to defund the police, particularly the fbi, the department of justice, because the democrats have weaponized law enforcement. all right. who in this panel, raise your hand, who thinks that's a good thing. all right. nobody. >> i want to bring back jennifer palmeri, and brendan buck, not a single hand went up on the fox news channel for defunding the police has this stabbing, first of all, the death of tech executive bob lee, put this right back at the center of the 2024 political

conversation and is donald trump not helping the republicans? >> well, as usual, he's not helping, and look, crime is going to be an issue politically, as long as crime is a problem, and i certainly get the sense that democrats realize that they have a problem particularly last year, in the last couple of years, as a lot of them got caught up in the defund police movement that was incredibly unpopular, and feels like they have walked that back in a big way, but fixing your message is really no match for people feeling scared, and as long as people feel scared, they're going to be looking for somebody to blame for it, and that creates opportunity. i don't think donald trump saying he wants to defund the fbi is really going to have any meaningful impact. i don't think voters take that particularly seriously i don't think there are a lot of republican voters who are actually or republican politicians who are actually trying to do that. this is not the first time donald trump has said to defund the fbi, and it kind of blew over i think it will -- this little

call for defunding will blow over but crime will continue to be a political problem as long as it's a real problem. >> yeah, i think it was enough for the white house deputy press secretary, jennifer, to release a statement this morning i'm going to read it maga republican extremism in congress is a growing threat to the fight against violent crime. they're attempting to gut funding for federal law enforcement agencies and lay off thousands of border security agents in order to cut taxes for the wealthy and they are trying to defund and abolish the atf. congressional republicans are choosing tax give aways for the rich over law enforcement officers and the gun industry's profits over american lives. that's a broader argument than what trump was making, but what do you make of it? >> brendan's right everybody understands crime is a problem. it has gone up particularly in cities, and the president understands that, and there's multiple ways that the white house is dealing with, including more funding for law enforcement. i think what they're trying to do here is take the advantage that they have and people understanding that maga

republicans in congress, you know, are out of control with their rhetoric, with the overreach, with the judiciary committee, which has no, you know, doesn't have jurisdiction over state courts, trying to weigh in on alvin bragg, and trying to bring crime into this, that this is all part of a larger maga led effort, and ultimately putting people at risk you make that argument, younyou you know, i don't think they're going to lead with this. if you want to make a comprehensive argument of everything maga republicans are doing to threatening democracy and safe, they're going to make that part. >> is brendan's part right, i don't want to misquote him essentially let me summarize it this way there are statistics, in many cities, crime is going up. there is a sense of security and even if something happens in san francisco and you live somewhere else, the whole idea of people feel uncomfortable, it's hard to message your way

out of that. >> you need to do things to address it also, a lot of this is happening at the mid -- easy for me to say, municipality level, happening with, you know, mayors, and police departments but ultimately the president knows this, anything that happens on your watch, the white house ends up winning. >> jennifer palmeri, and brendan buck, i really appreciate it happy weekend holiday. i hope you both are going to be doing something fun and that the easter bony, whatever your religious leanings are, stops by and leaves a little chocolate. thank you both so much. tensions are boiling over in the middle east as three of the world's biggest religions trying to observe one of the most sacred weeks of the year. the rockets being launched into israel and how they're responding next. you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc (vo) don't worry. sell and buy in one move when you start with opendoor.

>> we are expecting benjamin netanyahu to respond to the rocket attacks expected to hit back hard. the far right of his government wants to see an aggressive response, and this is the biggest rocket attack from lebanon since 2006 on the other hand, if israel hits back too hard, there's a real risk of triggering an all out war with hezbollah the two sides last fought back in 2006. it was a devastating conflict. israel is saying these rockets appear to have been fired not by hezbollah but hamas and other palestinian militant groups operating out of southern lebanon with hezbollah's tacit consent. we don't know yet exactly which groups did the firing but it appears that this was a response to what happened in jerusalem last night where you saw israeli forces storming into the mosque, that video showing israeli forces in riot gear, hitting palestinians with night sticks, with their guns, really sparking fury, not just here among

palestinians but in the broader middle east. now, israeli forces said they had no choice but to go in because palestinians had barricaded themselves inside, that they were using fireworks and stones as improvised weapons, and, chris, we are hearing from the u.s. state department in the last hour or so they say they are very concerned about the violence at the mosque, the third holiest site especially with passover, easter coming up. saying it supports israel's right to defend itself against this rocket fire from lebanon. a smaller mosque, likely to come in the form of artillery fire over the border into southern lebanon. a larger retaliation could mean air strikes across the lebanese state. >> raf sanchez, thank you so much. we have breaking news now from the supreme court, which says west virginia cannot go forward with a law that would have prevented transgender girls from playing on girls sports
