did you just braid my hair? good to be with you for this second hour of "chris jansing reports." ahead for us, hospitals in gaza are sounding the alarm, saying they have been damaged by strikes as tanks move into positions nearby. we'll get the latest on what's happening on the ground. the high stakes summit, president biden and china's xi jinping set to meet after a downward spiral in relations. can they find any common ground? plus a terrifying phone call to the office of marjorie taylor greene, what a man allegedly said that led to his arrest. and powell versus protesters, the chairman of the federal reserve gets rushed off stage during a headline making speech. our nbc news reporters are

following all of the latest developments. we begin with those dire images from hospitals in gaza. nbc's josh lederman is reporting live from tel aviv. josh, we are hearing about a number of strikes along with tanks taking up positions near hospitals. what do we know about what's happening? >> reporter: there are definitely tanks near hospitals, chris, that is not disputed and the israeli military is not disputing that they are operating in close proximity to hospitals in the gaza strip. it's also no longer in dispute that there was some type of a strike today that hit facilities at the al-shifa hospital, the largest hospital in the gaza strip. hamas says israeli strikes, while a senior israeli national security official tells me that they believe there was a projectile launch by a militant group inside the gaza strip. not by the israeli military that misfired and hit that hospital. now, israel's military is not disputing the possibility that they could have to fire on

hospitals. with an israeli military spokesperson saying, look, we're not targeting hospital, but if we see hamas terrorists firing at us from inside hospitals, we will have to do what we have to do, and we heard from an israeli military spokesperson on msnbc earlier in the day explaining why this is such a precarious situation. take a look. >> you know, hamas has turned hospitals into fortified positions. they have localized their command control capabilities, their tunnel system, their abilities to launch rockets, all of these are being done in and around and beneath hospitals. this is the challenge that we are facing. >> reporter: now, hamas disputes that they are using hospitals for any of those kinds of purposes, but in the meantime, chris, this is leaving civilians with very few options. there are tens of thousands of civilians in the northern part of the gaza strip who have been sheltering in the very hospitals thinking they were one of the

only places that might be safe from air strikes and israeli attacks. clearly they are not safe spaces. israel now urging hospitals in northern gaza to evacuate. the health ministries saying how do you want to evacuate a hospital, people are on life support, and icus, there's nowhere to go. the israeli military urging them to evacuate south to the southern part of gaza strip using that daily corridor, that daily pause in fighting that israel and the white house announced yesterday. so far, tens of thousands do appear to be taking them up on that offer, chris. >> josh lederman, thank you. now to the high stakes summit next week between president biden and china's shy jinping. nbc news correspondent allie raffa is at the white house. the relationship between the two to say the least has been fraught. what's on the agenda for the meeting? >> reporter: to say the least, and we know that when presidents biden and xi meet on wednesday

in the san francisco bay area, it will be a year and a day since the last time not only that they have seen each other in person, but just the last time they have spoken with the last time being at the g20 in indonesia. when you think of all of the things happened across the world that involve the two largest economies in the world, the agenda for this meeting you can only imagine how long it gets, and white house officials are saying for one thing, they're going to talk about the importance of maintaining lines of communication between china and the u.s. of course we know those lines were severed after the chinese spy balloon incident that china still maintains that they had no malicious intent for. officials say they will also talking about the trade of technology between our two countries. they'll talk about chinese production of fentanyl that we know has led to a catastrophic amount of deaths here in the u.s. they will also discuss taiwan. of course we know that the u.s. supports taiwan militarily.

china claims taiwan as its own. the officials say we can expect president biden to warn president xi not to meddle in the elections set for next year, as well as the u.s. elections in 2024, and we expect them to discuss the israel-hamas war, as well as ukraine's war with russia that we know china fully supports. and white house officials say they are being clear eyed. they don't expect any major transformational changes to come out of this meeting, any major policy changes by china. they say that's been tried and tested and failed for decades, but they say because china is expected to be, to continue to be a major force on the world stage for decades to come, they need to remind china as to the u.s. stance, where the u.s. stands as far as policies. big, but certainly realistic expectations for the meeting. chris. >> allie raffa, thank you. a georgia man is facing charges, accused of threatening to kill marjorie taylor greene.

julie tsirkin is on capitol hill. what more do we know about this? >> reporter: a frightening phone call to receive, no matter who you are or which district you represent. in marjorie taylor greene's case, this happened apparently this week. her office confirming that an arrest has been made in this case. she released a statement thanking both her local police in rome, georgia, the county police, and also the fbi that ultimately made this arrest. she said in her statement, quote, threats murder elected officials should never be tolerated. it doesn't matter your political affiliation, no one should threaten your life. she continued tsay i'm not the only victim with this threat of violence. my family, my staff were threatened. i had to close my district dueo the potential of violence. it's wrong and never should happen. she also said this is why she takes the second amendment to bear arms seriously. of course this is not happening in a vacuum. earlier this week, her colleague from georgia, congressman mccormick had to close his district office after facing

threats when he introduced a resolution to censure rashida tlaib over her comments on the israel-hamas war. we have seen an up tick in threats to members of congress and elected officials. the capitol police saying the number has increased 300% over the last seven years alone. thomas manger, earlier this year asked congress to allocate more funding and resources for the officers who were tasked with responding to these threats, assessing these threats as the security concerns certainly have grown. this is something that we expect to continue, this push from capitol police for additional resources and unfortunately with the political divisiveness of the country right now, more of these threats to follow. >> julie tsirkin, thanks for that update. fed chairman jerome powell is making headlines for a speech where he tackled both inflation and protesters. morgan brennan is here with cnbc on msnbc. what exactly happened, morgan?

>> hi, chris, well, fed chair powell had to briefly pause his closely watched speech at the international monetary fund yesterday after protesters interrupted the event chanting end fossil finance. this was the second time in three weeks that climate protesters have disrupted a fed chair speech event. powell temporarily left the stage and there was a hot mic moment. take a listen. >> powell, by refusing to treat climate change, you are putting us at risk -- >> thank you very much. >> at an ecomic disaster. >> thank you. just close the [ bleep ] door. >> so the feed had been cut temporarily, but those disruptions and some cussing aside, it was the message of the fed chair's speech that has really mattered to the markets. he kept the door wide open for another interest rate hike, proverbially speaking, if

inflation stays high and economic growth stays strong. if it becomes appropriate to tighten policy further, we will not hesitate to do so. while inflation is coming down, powell said it's still not clear whether monetary policy is, to use a central banker term, sufficiently restrictive or tight enough to slow price growth fully back to that 2% annual rate that is the fed's target. his remarks, they have been the most high profile but largely in line with similar commentary from a flurry of fed officials over the past week or so. bottom line here, the fed hasn't raised rates at the past two policy meetings, it's been on pause. central bankers will hike further if they think the data demands it. the next key data reading we are getting is going to be the consumer price index or the cpi, that's the closely watched monthly reading on inflation, and that happens next tuesday, chris. >> morgan brennan, thanks, have a good weekend. a major senate vacancy and a third party presidential run,

(vo) it's your vision, it's your verizon. right now, the already steep climb for democrats to keep their senate majority has gotten tougher. senator joe manchin's decision not to run again opens up a democratic sea in deep red west virginia, which means democrats face competitive races in seven other states, and now that 8th one causing some problems. add to that, not only is man chin considering a run for president as a third party candidate. former green party candidate jill stein says she's running again eight years after a campaign that some democrats believe cost hillary clinton the white house. phil rucker is the national editor for "the washington post" and msnbc political analyst. nbc's vaughn hillyard joins me here. so, vaughn, west virginia is a state that donald trump carried by 39 points, something like

that, and obviously it's a red seat that joe manchin held for the democrats, though he might have caused some angst. >> the seat is going into republican hands now, governor jim justice or alex mooney are likely to pick up the seat. unless democrats win against ted cruz in texas or rick scott in florida they have to hold on to seven battle ground states to remain even. we're not talking about the majority but remaining even. you're talking about wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, nevada, and then the two states of ohio, sherrod brown's seat, tester's seat in montana. those are two difficult states and of course you've got arizona on the map, where ruben gallego is running on the democratic like. kyrsten sinema has not announced a bid, but that would be a competitive, difficult three-way race. republicans look like they're in

good condition with joe manchin bowing out of the race. >> speculation about a potential manchin third-party bid was amped up yesterday. take a listen. >> what i will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there's an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring americans together. every incentive in washington is designed to make our politics extreme. the growing divide between democrats and republicans is paralyzing congress, and worsening our nation's problems. the majority of americans are just plain worn out. we need to take back america and not let this divisive hatred further pull us apart. >> so look, we know, phil, that there is an opening of sorts, at least if you look at the polls. most americans don't want either donald trump or joe biden. they think they're too old, other reasons. but at least in the case of joe manchin, even his closest aides tell reporters, what are you hearing, what's your sensuous will he run?

. >> he's indicated that he wanted to spend time talking to people around the country about the issues animating the nation, and so that's a pretty strong indication that at a minimum, he's considering running for president. he certainly could jump into this race as an independent candidate, maybe as part of the no labels, you know, group, and that would make a lot of waves in this presidential contest. it's really unclear how much traction he would get other the long run. he is a figure that's known to a lot of national political watchers. he craves media attention, as we know, and i think he would, you know, probably enjoy his 2024 if he were out on the trail as a presidential candidate. so, you know, we'll see what he decides. >> vaughn, you know the folks from no labels, and i'm told that they were surprised that he didn't give them a heads up saying that this was going to happen. talk about the connection between manchin and the group and what, again, what you're hearing from them. >> right.

this decision actually came a little bit earlier than anticipated. when i was with joe manchin in new hampshire, when he was headlining a town hall for no labels, he told me he'd make the decision by january. essentially this kind of caught us all off guard here. joe manchin didn't mention no labels but said he was going to travel the country to see if there was a movement that could be born around the country's middle. but no labels, that, i'm told, continue to be in close contact with joe manchin, continues to be an ally and could be on the bipartisan presidential ticket. for joe manchin, if he wants to run for president, that is the most likely place he'll go. tens of millions of dollars getting ballot access on right now currently 12 states, trying to get on all 50 ball lots across the country. without no labels doing that body of work, it would take a lot of work, to take the state of arizona, for example, he would have to go and get more than 45,000 signatures of

arizona independents just to get on the ballot in arizona alone, and so no labels is already putting in that work. now, the question is will he want to run for president and will he do it with no labels. >> there's another wild card here, phil, and i'm asking you in particular. you've covered hillary clinton a lot, especially after she lost in 2016. how big of a spoiler could a jill stein or a joe manchin be this time. there are still a lot of democrats who think stein cost hillary big. >> yeah, there are, and, you know, stein got some support in key parts of the country in 2016. and we remember, of course, how close that election between hillary clinton and donald trump was, so a lot of democrats blame her for being a spoiler then. her entry into the race and the possibility that joe manchin could be a third-party candidate is a massive political headache for president biden. my colleagues at "the post" have

a smart story about this, and just how potentially bad this political environment could become for the sitting president as he struggles according to virtually every poll to gain support among the american people. >> we're out of time. didn't no labels say we're not going to be a spoiler here. >> they maintained they are not going to be a spoiler and they're not going to make their decision until after super tuesday, but i will say, they have spent a heck of a lot of money to do something they're not going to do. if they can get joe manchin on board, this would be a fulfillment of a decade of work to try to give americans the option of having a ticket in the middle, and joe manchin would be quite the face for it. >> vaughn hillyard, phil rucker, thank you so much. the lawyer for paul pelosi's attacker lays out a narrow defense in court. what he says drove his client to carry out the crime, and will it fly? that's next. usiness unlimited, i get 5g, truly unlimited data, and unlimited hotspot data. so, no matter what, i'm running this kitchen.

we have an update on a story we first brought to you yesterday, a man wanted in connection with january 6th insurrection has now turned himself in to police. police and s.w.a.t team members had been searching for gregory yetman since wednesday, scouring backyards in new jersey for any sign of him. the teams set off flash bang grenades as part of the search. the fbi announcing the 47-year-old had been charged with assaulting and resisting officers, obstruction, and illegally entering the capitol. this is not a who done it.

that's the words of a lawyer for the man accused of violent attacks on nancy pelosi's husband, acknowledging, david depape did it. we've seen the video showing depape swinging a hammer, knocking paul pelosi unconscious, but the defense says there's an exculpatory reason, that with every ounce of his being, depape believed in wild conspiracies about government corruption, and actors abusing children. among his targets, tom hanks, gavin newsom and hunter biden. he is facing charges for attempted kidnapping and assault, and could face life in prison if convicted. joining me now glenn kirschner, former federal prosecutor, and legal analyst. what will they say to that? >> they will present the evidence, which is extremely powerful, chris. the defendant had a couple of ways to go here. he could have claimed he was not

competent to stand trial, he was suffering from some sort of a mental problem, a psychiatric deficiency that made him not competent to stand trial. he didn't go that route. he could have gone insanity, a defense where you're competent to stand trial but basically you can't tell right from wrong or conform your conduct to the requirements of the law. he's going neither of those two routes. his lawyers said, and this is quote from her opening statement. the defendant fell prey to the disinformation ecosystem. that's not a defense, and the other thing that they're trying to do is they're trying to claim that he wasn't motivated to commit these crimes because he wanted to commit a crime against a federal official or a family member of a federal official but it was just because he kind of was upset with the conspiracies that were going on in washington. the problem, chris, is when he was interrogated by police, he said that he was going after

nancy pelosi and wanted to kidnap her because she is the leader of the pack of lies told by the democratic party. i think what this defendant at his core might be trying to do is simply use this trial as a vehicle, as a platform to get his political views out there, and i don't think it's going to end well for him. >> the one thing that struck me because they released the police interview, parts of the police interview after he was interrupted. the lieutenant who interviewed him said that at one point, the question was, are you on any medications because what depape was saying, and i'm quoting here was so jarring and disturbing. this is another instance, prosecutors say, of someone who spent a lot of time online with conspiracies, not just pizza gate, which is this fake child sex ring, but holocaust deniers and qanon. so if not a form of an insanity

plea, do they at least argue to a jury he couldn't have been in his right mind, even an experienced police officer, a lieutenant thought something was amiss here? >> you know, on the one hand, chris, they can certainly argue he wasn't in his right mind, but they will not be permitted to do is offer an insanity defense or ask the jury to conclude he was insane, therefore he's not criminally responsible for his crimes. that would require notice and expert testimony and psychiatric examinations by experts, forensic psychologists and psychiatrists. they have opted not to go that route. they may be shooting for what we call nullification, just sending the signal to the jury, my client is so compromised, so under the sway of these crazy conspiracy theories that maybe you should consider not holding him accountable given the horrific nature of this crime, and the powerful evidence proving it beyond a reasonable doubt. again, i don't think any of

these arguments will get much play with the jury. >> glenn kirschner, good to see you, thank you. in the meantime, the former president, famous for spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 election is now suggesting that if he wins next year, he would use the federal government to punish his enemies. >> they're good at rigging electionings. this is a form of rigging an election. they're losing so badly in the polls if they can damage me for the election, and i don't think the people are going to take it. i mean, if somebody, if i happen to be president, and i see somebody who's doing well and beating me very badly, i say go down and indict them. mostly that would be, you know, they would be out of business. they'd be out. they'd be out of the election. >> i want to bring in presidential historian and professor of history at rice university, douglas brinkley. what immediately came to mind for me, doug, when hearing this yesterday is richard nixon's infamous enemy's list.

"the atlantic" points out quote, in the early 1970s, the president and his advisers worried doing this in the open would be devastating. that doesn't seem to be a concern for the former president, does it? >> not at all, donald trump is doing a retribution tour, if you reelection me, i will find a way to jail, apprehend or make life miserable for people like general mark milley, for william barr, for ty cobb and many others, career people in the fbi, in the justice department, trump will put them on his enemy's list and aim for them. you're going to have journalists being sorry they're not on his list. one of the badges of honor of the 1970s was actually having made the list, like daniel shore did or mary mcgory. journalists who weren't on it thought they left out.

hunter s. thompson called it the greatest failure of his life, when the list came out, he wasn't on nixon's list. it's going to be interesting to see if trump tracks and who he'll try to get retribution on, what journalists, people in government, hollywood stars, nixon had it in for paul newman of all things. i don't know who would make trump's list on that. >> you know, directly or indirectly, there are an awful lot of people who work in democracy related jobs, i'm talking particularly about election workers who feel it's gotten harder and harder and harder. there is actual proof of that. we know they have been threatened. one election worker told nbc news that trump's comments don't help that. let me play that for you, doug. >> we had president trump saying that they had discovered 76,000 phantom ballots in the 2020 election, every time something like that happens, we feel its

effects, and we held strong together, but i think when some people saw rolling over into 2023 this was going to be a daily part of life, we started to have attrition in 2023 and that's really sad. >> what is america if we don't have people who feel safe to participate in the democratic process? >> we are not a democracy. i mean, the whole point of salma and john lewis at the edmund pettus bridge, to get rid of the scourge of voter intimidation. and now due to gerrymandering, police force intimidation, due to corrupt state officials and more, we're finding pockets of the country, people are terrified to go vote that they're going to be targeted. i have talked to a lot of latino voters who don't vote because they said they might have a cousin that's here illegally from mexico or venezuela or

somewhere and they don't want to go and show up and vote because people will be there photographing them and somehow connecting it to their family. there are all sorts of old jim crow type of voter intimidation activities going on, and we just have to ignore them and bust the perpetrators of them. but people have to vote. there will be no country if we don't have historic and epic voting in 2024. >> douglas brinkley, i always so appreciate you coming on the show. thank you. >> thank you. in the last 15 minutes or so, flares lighting up the sky and explosions heard in gaza. we're going to head back to tel aviv to find out exactly what's happening right now. that's next. happening right now. that's next. to take our operations to the next level.

we want to show you these images from gaza from just moments ago. flairs lighting up the sky and loud explosions can be heard in the distance. nbc's josh lederman is reporting from tel aviv, what exactly is happening. i know we have seen explosions before. this seemed to be a very intense prolonged series of them. >> reporter: that's right, chris. what we're seeing tonight is one of the more intense displays of aerial fighting that we have seen so far in this war with extreme periods of what appears to be flares coming down on to the gaza strip as well as multiple explosions that can be heard in the distance from that video. that video is coming in from our

colleagues at the associated press. we believe that is a position that is aimed towards the northern gaza strip, which of course has been the focus of the israeli air strikes over the course of the last month. what's interesting is that we haven't really seen intense air strikes for the last week or so. in fact, much of the israeli operation for the last several days has been focused on those ground operations, now that the israeli military is in the gaza strip in central gaza city in a very significant way. we've seen more of that tank, artillery, other kinds of close combat. we haven't seen this kind of bombardment in almost a week when there was another display. sort of like what we're seeing right now. the israeli military, they have not yet commented on what we're seeing right now. they're unlikely to. every time they have been asked about the kinds of operations that we are clearly seeing on television. they have said, look, we're not going to discuss our operations while we were in the process of doing them. it would endanger their troops

and give hamas a heads up on what they are trying to accomplish. we also know that as israel has been urging all of those civilians to flee to the southern part of the gaza strip, chris, they have said that one of the main reasons they want civilians out of the north is so that the people that are left by process of elimination, are hamas, that they can then go ahead and try to eliminate them in an aggressive way. which may be what we're seeing at this point in time as the sky above the gaza strip continues to be lit up by multiple explosions and flares coming down over the gaza strip. chris. >> josh, thank you so much. and joining us is retired four star generally and msnbc military analyst, barry mccaffrey. we don't know how this fits into a strategic plant. as josh pointed out, this is amping up from what we have seen in the past week. is there anything you draw strategically or militarily from it? >> the idf is aggressively moving at night using smoke,

flares. they're being supported by aircraft, primarily probably attack helicopters. they're trying to precisely hit hamas locations. apparently their impact on hamas has been devastating. they're going to drive them underground. a lot of discussion about these tunnels. the idf absolutely has leverage over the tunnels. so look, the bottom line is this gigantic tragedy engulfing the region. all caused, triggered deliberately by hamas, so that 7 october brutal murder of hundreds of israeli civilians. and complicated by now some 240 hostages who are in perilous situations. but at least more palestinian civilians now appear to be moving out of the combat zone. 80,000 yesterday. some humanitarian supplies getting in.

so the great tragedy is at a turning point, the idf is trying to destroy hamas. >> secretary of state blinken has been denouncing the war's toll on civilians in gaza, and he was in india today. i want to play for you, general, what he said. >> much more needs to be done to protect civilians, and to make sure that the humanitarian systems features it. far too many palestinians have been killed. far too many have suffered these past weeks. >> more than 11,000 people have been killed in gaza, according to palestinian authorities, and that includes 4,500 children, and then earlier this week, general, a senior biden administration official told congress that actually the civilian death told could be even higher than previously ted. so when secretary blinken says much more needs to be done to protect civilians, what can be done? >> well, i think a lot is being done, and the primary thing

they've got to get, they have, you know, a million people essentially in this built up city of gaza. most of them are now out. there's still probably a couple hundred thousand in there. that's the zone of intense danger, and then in addition, what has to be done is egypt has to fully cooperate the arab world in funneling humanitarian supplies into the so called safe zone along the water front and the rafah border crossing. and i think finally, idf is going to try and wrap up their operations as they can. time is their energy. secretary blinken, skillful, devoted diplomat, thank god for his leadership is trying to calm the waters in the international community is trying to prevent the war from widening particularly with hezbollah entering the fight. successfully so far. and finally, i think he's got to

pay attention to domestic politics. president biden is worried about reelection, and this could be a factor. >> as you watch all of the protests that have been going on, general, and they've gotten big in some places, there's a huge one that's playing tomorrow in london. there have been some questions about them all around the world, but also domestically here at home. the longer this war goes on, the political pressure, not just here but elsewhere only increase? >> yeah, it looks like. it mystifies me. at the end of the day, there's history, there's 75 years of history. there's 1948. there's the great exodus of the palestinians into a part of gaza, which is owned by egypt. all of that is there. the israelis aren't going anywhere. they're a sovereign nation. unfortunately, where we're stuck is, hamas says, on the head of hamas on television in lebanon a couple of days ago, we intend to destroy israel.

it is a river to the sea. we're going to come back and eradicate you people. until we get beyond that, until we get some peace keeping force in the west bank and gaza, until we have some two-state solution that doesn't just look like a pause with another attack on israel, these terrible conflicts are going to continue. >> general barry mccaffrey, thank you, sir, appreciate you coming on. still ahead, a piece of technology led to an increase in gun violence in milwaukee. nbc news talked with a mother whose son was shot 20 times in just a matter of seconds. just a matter of seconds (ella) fashion moves fast.

this is an unbelievable story. a flight from london to orlando, took off and climbed to 14,000 feet. the crew realized something was missing, several windows. an inspection found two window panes were missing, a fourth sticking out from the side of the plane. high powered lights had been used during a filming event and damaged the plane, but no one noticed until the plane was in mid flight. passengers said everything was louder and colder than they were used to. the plane turned back and fortunately everyone is okay. but that incident is just the latest in a litany of recent flight complications. this year we've seen a surge of close calls on runways and in the skies. nbc's tom costello reports. >> reporter: from a recent midair collision involving two business jets after a pilot took
