today's show online. thank you for the privilege of your time. andrea mitchell picks up with more news right now. right now, on "andrea mitchell reports" death and devastation in morocco. the window to find anyone alive following the earthquake that killed 2,500 people. we'll have a live report from the search zone. also this hour, president biden is heading home from vietnam. and critical g-20 meetings in india, skipped by vladimir putin and xi jingping, with president biden denying he is trying to counter with his india strategy. vladimir putin is preparing for a visitor. north korea's leader kim jong-un going to russia, and expected to provide weapons that russia

needs to battle ukraine. and america remembers. citizens gather at ground zero at the pentagon and in shanksville, pennsylvania, to honor the men and women who lost their lives, 22 years after 9/11. good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington, where we follow the disastrous news out of morocco. rescue crews are sifting through the rubble, hoping to find survivors from friday's earthquake and aftershocks. the numbers are staggering. 2,500 people found dead. 2,500 others are injured across a region that faces a massive recovery and rebuilding process in the coming weeks and months. even years. humanitarian organizations are

trying to supply thousands of displaced residents who lost everything, with food, water, supplies, shelter they need to survive. >> we are trying to look for people. we are looking for people still. the people really don't want to go inside the houses no more. we need blankets since its cold here. blankets, tents, sleeping bags. that kind of material is in big need here right now. >> nbc's raf sanchez has made his way near the rescue operation in morocco. the crews say they are still in rescue mode for a couple more hours. what are you seeing? >> yeah, that's right, andrea. they are not giving up. the 6.8 magnitude earthquake, the strongest in this region in over a century, struck late friday night local time. that's some 66 hours ago. and i give you that very specific number because the experts will tell you it is the first 72 hours after a disaster

that represent the golden window. the best chance to try to find survivors underneath the rubble. rescue teams will take as long as it takes. there was a search team, andrea, that was on this site earlier. they were at what remains at this hotel behind me. they were told there was a body inside. they may not enter the hotel but return to it. the ticking clock, in reaching the remote mountain villages. the treacherous winding roads you need to traverse to bring in heavy machinery up here. this search effort continues. we're 30 miles from the epicenter here. we've seen professional rescue teams from turkey and from

italy. and also just local volunteers. people from this community, who hands by patient hands have been moving away the rubble, trying to find their neighbors underneath. there was a rescue here earlier. that is giving people hope. >> there's a desperate need for supplies. you've showed that, jose andress. the world central kitchen there pitching in. by my calculation, the earthquake hit 11:00 local time friday night, 6:00 east coast time. we have until 6:00 east coast time for the 72-hour golden window to expire. there's a chance of an air pocket. is that the basic hope for finding some people still alive?

>> reporter: 6:00 p.m. eastern, 11:00 local, the end of the golden window. the searching is so difficult at night. it's been difficult to get machinery up here and get the rescue scenes lit up. i'd say we have a couple more hours of daylight, which will represent the best chance after that. rescue teams have to be put off. it's a painful decision. as you said, we've seen a lot of international volunteers showing up. we ran into a group of british volunteers, telling us, they went to the other side of the mountain, a three-hour hike, to carry food and medicine to another community, that's more remote than this one.

at this moment, a community that cannot be reached by road, because of the boulders that have come down, the rock slides. a desperate situation. >> raf sanchez, thanks to you and your team for being there. thank you very much. ron desantis does a former run around. to be the top of the iowa state/iowa football game. what that does about the 2024 campaign possibly as a whole? full-court history. coco gauff becoming the youngest american to win the u.s. open title since serena williams in 1999, before coco was born. what she told savannah guthrie and hoda on the "today" show. we're back in 60 seconds. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. e power of 3.

football and politics collided this weekend in iowa, as donald trump and ron desantis, both attended the iowa state versus university of iowa football game, in the lead-up to the caucuses there. there were chants for the former president at a fraternity house. both candidates tailgated, with trump flipping burgers. and he got trolled by a plane flying a banner that said, where is melania. and he was watching the game from a box. and governor desantis spend the time watching the game from the field, with iowa's governor, kim reynolds. she's polling around 80%, who has been attacked by donald trump, for refusing to endorse him. governor desantis was pressed on why he is more than 20 points behind mr. trump in the polls.

>> what does it say that donald trump is still ahead right now? >> we vote in january. i'm starting to hear a lot of people saying, you're showing up, i'm supporting you. joining me now, susan paige, tim miller and senior politics reporter, jonathan allen. tim, first to you. that was iowa retail politics. what we love. we love to be out there. and it's football, of course. politics at its best. talk about the role that governor reynolds can play, if she chooses to endorse. a strong second place finish in the caucuses would be good enough. >> i was jealous. the tulane game, not as much action there. kim reynolds helps for sure.

she is popular. her being there with desantis is a sign for him. he's trying to coalesce this establishment side of the trump party. the pre-trump side of the republican party. that split-screen, of donald trump, being treated like a celebrity, like a star, like a former president. that grosses me out. i would prefer the people booing him. but you cannot ignore the reality. donald trump was treated like a star. desantis was not. he is wearing a vest. it looks awkward. it isn't a good head-to-head for him. and it encapsulates the problem he's had, getting outside of donald trump's shadow in iowa and throughout the primary. >> jonathan allen, you have new reporting on the fact that it's unknown to a lot of us.

to most people. donald trump has a postpresidential office, as all presidents do, set up, paid for by the taxpayers and he's handling things differently outside of the lines. >> here's a guy who says his name, trump, the brand, is worth billions of dollars. if you visit his office in west palm beach, florida, it's hard to find the address because they don't publicize it. it's no name on the door and no official seal. there's interesting things about this office. there's classified earl is that was sitting in that office when mar-a-lago was raided. it was later moved to mar-a-lago. that's part of the reason that the justice department prosecutors asked trump's team to start searching other places. this office was searched by a private firm on behalf of trump's lawyers. it has not been searched by the fbi. or there's no indication it's

been searched by the fbi. people say there's boxes piled all over the place. in addition to that, he has political aides working out of this office. it's not clear if he's allowed for what to be done in the political work to be done in a political place. it's interesting to see what comes of all this. he has an odd office ten minutes from mar-a-lago that's holding boxes of stuff. >> in addition to classified material, which is its own category, any records belong to the national archives, the people. >> i think people have forgotten about that we're talking about classified material. for the long term, it matters a lot, right? this is how the united states keeps records of what presidents

were doing. it helps us inform ourselves in a democracy. i don't know what's in the boxes. we know that donald trump took presidential records with him in addition to the classified records he took with him. >> another question because we know the answers to these questions, is whether or not any of the super pac people are there. they're not supposed to mix. that's not going to be contact. that's the terms of the super pacs. but gavin newsom was on "meet the press" with chuck todd. he said he is not running in 2024. chuck questioned him about the cold feet that americans have, and president biden on age and other issues being on the ticket. take a listen to part of that exchange. >> why do you think 24% of americans want to see biden run? >> to me, the polls mean nothing

until we get out there. the question you're asking, is how do we mind the gap between performance -- the substance and the results and that perception before it becomes reality? it's reflecting situationally in these polls. that's the stunt, not the burden, the opportunity of being able to run on this record, the biden record, and make the case to the american people in the next 18 months. >> it's a wide-explained view of democrats and worry about joe biden leading the ticket. >> there's more nervousness, as his popularity not going up but to ebb a bit in the cnn polls from a couple days ago. democrats argue that he has a record on accomplishments on the economy and ukraine. i think governor newsom is

commenting the political reality that biden is going to be the nominee, unless biden chooses not to be. and he was arguing that the establishment needs to get behind him and improve the prospects here. he will likely be leading the ticket. >> susan, tim miller and jonathan allen, thanks to all of you. counterweight. president biden returning from southeast asia after trying to strengthen ties in the region. this is msnbc. enjoying h >> tech vo: she didn't take it to the dealer. she scheduled with safelite. we have the latest technology for the newest vehicles. and we do more replacements and recalibrations than anyone else. >> customer: thank you so much. >> tech: don't wait-- schedule now. ♪ pop music ♪

president biden wrapping up a whirlwind overseas trip that began in india for the g20 meetings, and stopped by vietnam's leaders before departing this morning to come back home. and stopping in alaska to refuel and stop to pay tribute to his long-time senate colleague john mccain at the site where his navy plane crashed into a lake in the middle of hanoi. he was captured aeroheld for six years. the president telling reporters it was important to be there. and he missed a good friend. the hanoi hilton was the ironic title for the jail cells there.

on sunday, the president had a news conference with the major focus on china, saying his travel was not aimed at restraining beijing. >> i am sincere about getting a relationship right. i don't want to contain china. i want to have a relationship with china, that's on the up and up, squared away. we're not looking to hurt china, sincerely. we're betting off if china does well. joining me now, senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell, and janney mackie frair. you were in vietnam. a big foreign policy weekend and focus on china. outreach to india, that had a state visit this year. talk about the importance of that. obviously, he's been making a lot of efforts, with the philippines, with vietnam, with india, to encircle china and

saying, no. we're not trying to restrain them. >> reporter: andrea, for the president, this is a major political goal to strengthen the u.s. relationship with countries that share a border and share trade with china. and in part to reinforce to friends of the u.s., that partnering with the u.s. is a good bet, a reliable relationship. when china, the other superpower on the planet, is not as reliable. and when it comes to things like the aggression, the military muscle flexing that we've seen from china, as well as some of the economic policies, and their place in the world, looking to the united states as a place where these nations, whether it's here in vietnam, india, other parts of this region, try to make sure they have a relationship with the united states they can rely on. i was struck by, and i'll bet you were, as well, the president in his remarks about china, was

delicate and careful about not wanting to push xi jingping away, wanting to keep open the potential for dialogue, although they have not spoken personally for ten months. he did emphasize that members of his administration are in touch with china and wanting to keep that door open because of the strategic importance of having a way to communicate with china and deal with china, when you think of the potential that china could exert more force over taiwan, something the u.s. doesn't want to have happen. there's the economic reality. here in vietnam, when you think of the sweep of history, and 506 years ago, our two nations at war. and today, elevating the diplomatic status between the u.s. and vietnam and a lot of talk about investments in very important parts of the economic piece that the u.s. is looking for. semiconductors and so forth. so, business investment, political relationship and vietnam is represented by the communist party. these are not easy

conversations. and yet, the president believed these were investments to make for the u.s. in this part of the world. andrea? >> janis mackey frayer. the other issue in that region, is what the kremlin has confirmed. that vladimir putin will meet with kim jong-un in the coming days. what we understand from my reporting and yours, as well, is he's going to push for a weapons deal, more weapons from kim jong-un and to resupply russia what it needs to fight in ukraine. >> this meeting was widely suspected to happen. it looks like it will be on the sidelines of an economic forum where north korea's kim jong-un and vladimir putin first met back in 2019. kim is already believed to be on his armored train, making that journey to russia.

these meetings are expected to happen over the next couple of days. this is a concern to u.s. officials, saying that north korea and russia will likely be discussing weapons deals. this is a deepening of the relationship between pyongyang and moscow. and one that signals that russia is looking for suppliers and north korea would probably be open to having the political and economic lifeline of a deal with russia. u.s. officials say they have until intelligence suggesting that russia is looking to purchase additional artillery shells to restock for the war in ukraine. in return, north korea could be -- they could share with north korea satellite and nuclear submarine technology. the white house and the pentagon have been warning that if north korea chooses to go down this road, if there is an arms deal with russia, that there will be, quote, a price to pay for that.

andrea? >> only last week, a report that we've confirmed with picture that they did launch a new submarine, north korea did. much harder to detect than their land-based missiles. thank you so much. america remembers 22 years after the 9/11 attacks. we remember those lost that day and since, as first responders and ground zero workers are succumbing to their illnesses. you're watching andrea mitchell reports. this is msnbc. you can cuddle and brush that hair off. bounce. it's the sheet.

[ bell tolling ] ♪♪ we will always work to keep america safe. and we will always, always remember. >> defense secretary lloyd austin, speaking at one of the many memorials around the nation, as we honor the victims of september 11th. 22 years later, the sounds, the pictures from that day, remain

so vivid, so horrific. and remember the two victims that were just identified. while the horror of that day remains frozen in history and hearts in minds, the recovery efforts continuing to grow. 43 more names were added to the fdny meorial wall this month. as many firefighters have died from postevent illnesses as on that day. and the amount of blank spaces for the expected deaths yet to come. joining me now, former ground zero demolition worker john fiolo, who spent the past two decades, advocating for help for 9/11 responders, appealing to congress. and jay johnson, a member of the board of trustees at the 9/11

memorial and museum and a former pentagon official, as well. your reflections 22 years later? >> that's what today is. today reflection. a day to remember the day of senseless violence. a day to remember the heroic firefighters and police officers that ran into the building and never came out. today is not object politics. that 341 firefighters, this number is a lot higher. that is only for active members of the fire department they counted that passed away. thousands of firefighters, retired, two years before 9/11, or eight years, the city begged them to come back and work next to their co-workers that were still active. this saturday, on the 16th, we add 360 names to our wall on long island. many of them are retired firefighters. we're now over 3,000 first

responders to pass away. we know over 2,000 survivors that have passed away. and roughly, 6,000 people have died since 9/11 from the certified 9/11 illness. >> that's twice as many have died since. >> oh, yeah. >> from the effects. >> that we know of. >> and that those that died that day. >> that we know of. again, 27,000 people right now have a certified 9/11 related cancer. it's only getting worse. the world trade center health program is doing the best its can. the victims compensation fund is doing the best they can. they need to evolve with us and they need to get creative and think outside of the box, as the men and women in uniform and nonuniform are getting older. i don't want to take up too much

air time. i want to hear the secretary speak. >> jay johnson, you served as general counsel at the pentagon during the wars in iraq and afghanistan. you have a son in the military. you have seen firsthand how threats to the homeland have changed and the response has changed, the coordination. are we safer today, than we were then, of foreign threats? and are the threats domestic? >> first, andrea, thanks for having me on, as always, on 9/11. i want to compliment john on his good work and perseverance to highlight this issue. we're safer today, 22 years later, from the type of threat, the foreign terrorist direct attack on our homeland, through a lot of good counterterrorism efforts and multiple administrations. we have largely decapitated

al qaeda and isis and their ability to launch a large-scale homeland attack here in the united states. but these groups have morphed and me tastized. there's a different kind of threat. the weather events, due to climate change, i put up there. and frankly, the erosion of our democracy, which we've seen day-to-day, which leads to polarization and the inability to get things done. like helping out first responders from 9/11. the threats have evolved significantly. it's the responsibility of those in homeland security and national security, to always stay one step ahead of us and one step ahead of these threats. on a day like today, i think it's the obligation of every american to remember the heroism that occurred 22 years ago and to remain vigilant.

every time i have -- every time this day rolls around, i think like today, virtually today, everyone under the age of 22, who was not alive on 9/11. but it's the responsibility of us who were around on 9/11, who have the vivid memories, to remind all of the rest of us about the heroism of that day and the responsibility of those of us in national security, public safety, to remain vigilant. >> mr. secretary, you're leading a national task force to rebuild trust in american democracy. you alluded to this. but even with budget gridlock and another government shutdown looming, those are threats to our democracy, threats to our national security. >> right. they are, in the sense that, if a government is unable to

effectively respond to an attack, to a crisis, to a threat stream, that in and of itself, in my judgment, is a threat to our national security and our homeland security. >> john, you're one of the heroes, in my book, in anybody's book. secretary alluded to it. you, jon stewart, the way you went to congress fighting for the responders, for veterans. talk to me about the meaning of today to you. you have gone to so many funerals. >> i've been to about 204 funerals. and soon, the 9/11 museum will display them in a case. not only are they a reflection, today is about giving of yourself. while jon and i have given of ourselves the last two decades, not just on 9/11. everybody has a chance to reach

out and lend a shoulder or open their arms and hug those along the way. some kind words go a long way today. today is a day that we should put aside our religions, our politics, just like we did 22 years ago. and not only be americans, but be human beings towards each other. just say hello to -- >> that's a timely reminder. thinking of the fbi men and women who died that day. their headquarters was in one of the towers. and i want to thank you both for your service, the service of jay johnson and his son and all of the military. we'll be right back. can't stop adding stuff to your cart? get the bank of america customized cash rewards card, choose the online shopping category and earn 3% cash back.

fulton county d.a.fani willisy a judge deied a request by mark meadows to move his case to federal court, where he would have a better jury pool and no cameras. the judge said the attempts to overturn the 2020 election were not part of his official duties as white house chief of staff. it could impact the other four defendants seeking a change request. joining us now, former fbi

general counsel andrew weissmann, and michael james. welcome to you both. first to you, meadows was arguing and had the strongest argument in this group, for removal. how big a win is this for d.a. willis? he's going to be considering each case on its merits. and he ordered a hearing tomorrow, on meadows' argument for an appeal. the judge has ordered -- the appeals court has ordered a hearing tomorrow. >> a huge win. the federal judge being careful had said he is going to hear each of the other cases individually. in other words, for each of the people coming up, whether it's jeffrey clark or the so-called fake electors, he's going to hear them on their own facts.

anything they want to say with respect to his legal findings, he will hear them, anew. obviously, it's an uphill battle for them. meadows, probably had the strongest argument and that was rejected. the fake electors probably have the worst argument. you can't claim you had federal office because you were pretending to be an elector when you weren't. so, we'll see what happens in the hearings this week. i'm pretty sure that the people who are doing that are thinking their best chance might be on appeal. but not before the district judge that he's going to likely follow the same ruling he made with respect to mark meadows. >> i think i muddled that. the district judge, judge jones, who is going to hold an expedited hearing tomorrow on

the request by meadows for a stay of the order. the order rejecting his move to federal court. had this move to federal court, meadows would have had a broader jury pool, no cameras in court. and that's fueling the request. does donald trump, as the president, have a better argument? >> i think he has a better argument. he's a federal official. so, at a minimum, it will be on the same level as meadows. i agree with former -- former fbi counsel, that the other individuals involved, further down the chain, the weaker it gets. the fake electors don't have much of an argument at all. the judge said he wants to hear each case on its individual merits and facts. it will be interesting to see if there's a difference between the two, if former president trump

makes an argument. i understand why a criminal defense lawyer or defendant would want out of fulton county in a scenario like this and into the northern district of georgia. >> andrew, separately, the unsealed special grand jury report, not the indicting grand jury, revealed that 21 others had recommended 21 people for indictment but were not indicted. this includes three current and former senators, including lindsey graham. and chuck rosenberg said it's unfair to release these special grand jury reports. these people have no recourse to defend themselves. they want go to trial. they can't clear their names. there's an implication when you say a special grand jury has come to this. and i know it's in response to

media lawsuits, incluing msnbc. i want to know what you think of this, andrew. >> it is lawful under state law to do this. nobody has done something improper. but i agree with chuck. mary mccord and i were talking about this on our podcast. in the federal system, it is basically known as you put up or you shut up. a grand jury indicts or it's publicly known and there's a trial and all of the due process, or you have to stay silent. one of the reasons many people who were in the department were so angry with james comey when he spoke about hillary clinton was that it was so against the idea of due process. you don't give your personal views about somebody who was not charged. and so, i agree with chuck that this is really unfair to them. i would note, though, that the judge who unsealed this, not

only was complying with the law. but his cover memo does say that he gave the opportunity for everyone to object to this becoming public. so, that's what he said. i don't know whether that is accurate or inaccurate. but heinaccurate. but he apparently did give the people who were the subject of these recommendations an opportunity to object. and he said that there were no objections. so, to the extent that that is true, that would undercut the claim of this being unfair. because people didn't have an opportunity to object and apparently did not. >> and i just want to say, since you brought it up, and i covered the coney/clinton issue, and it was 11 days before a presidential campaign. and absolutely had an influence on voters. so, i think that was arguably one of the worst examples that we could come up with, of this -- exactly what you're talking about. thank you so much for your expertise.
