and where it's expected to make landfall. >> tomorrow night at this time. we'll be watching that northern eye approaching the coast of florida with that landfall expected tomorrow evening. this storm has about 24 hours to see how powerful it can get. the hurricane center has it going up and increasing at 45 miles per hour from what it is right now up to 130-miles-per- hour winds. that's a category four. the lower end of a category 4. it's still possible it could be stronger than this. we hope it's going to be weaker. what we do know for sure is where it's heading. there's been excellent agreement on that. then the storm is going to race friday early morning through georgia. even atlanta could have power outages down. all of our computer model, excellent agreement up to apalacha. tallahassee is only 30 miles inland liz and that's probably the city that we're most concerned with for extreme wind

damage. >> yeah, bill. this is a massive storm. it's a fast-moving storm. what is most concerning to you right now about where it's heading and the damage it could do. >> yeah, so i put three headlines together. these are the things when the storm is over with we're going to be looking at the most. these are the people that are going to need the most help. tallahassee they're expecting the worse hurricane in their city's history. for the most part. tallahassee has been on the edge of a couple, missed a couple. this one looks to be the worse strongest winds possibly ever recorded in the city tomorrow night. storm surge up to 20 feet. mostly unpopulated area but not completely. there are some small little towns along that big bend area. also down toward cedar keys. we're going to have to watch that. historic rain far inland. it started pouring today in areas of northern georgia, south carolina. that's going to continue. we have 36 million people under either a tropical storm warning or hurricane warnings. that storm surge, the worse of it that's that big bend area. even in tampa it could be four to 8 feet of storm surge which

would be historic. we're not going to have horrible wind or rain in tampa. but the storm surge could be higher than any storm that people have ever seen. that could be tomorrow afternoon into early evening. the flood watch covers 36 million. i mentioned the rain, this storm is already drawing moisture up. it's pouring from atlanta to south carolina. and that's before the storm has even gotten there. by the thyme time the storm gets there, the ground is saturated. we're going to have flooding in the appalachians. we could have historical rainfall problems and flooding. that area right near tallahassee. that's where obviously the storm makes landfall liz and we'll have a lot of rain with that too. >> reporter: on top of all of that. there's a storm. >> tropical cyclones they make

landfall. some produce a lot of tornadoes. some produce hardly any. we're thinking this is a one that will likely bring us possible tornadoes up toward savannah toward hilton head. that's the area of greatest concern. has a chance for isolated tornadoes. that's always a wild card liz. we won't really figure that one out when that threat materializes. >> all right, bill. we know you'll be tracking this. thanks so much. >> as bill mentioned this storm is expected to hit very close to the capital city of tallahassee. it could be one of the largest storms to hit that city ever. kathy, what are you seeing. what are folks doing. what's the latest? >> liz, good evening. right now folks are literally bracing for impact. you heard bill mention just a few moments ago. that tallahassee looks like we're in the bulls eye.

the mayor we heard from him not too long ago either. this will be the largest storm that the city has seen. if it's a category four which is also a possibility. something he mentioned. it could be extensive damage. here in tallahassee there's tall trees. because those wind gusts could be sustained for an extended period of time. we could be looking at wider power outages in this area. in advance of this storm, they are mobilizing quickly. relying on mutual aid. we're told that nine different states are pitching in. they have crews coming in. they'll be in later on this evening. they plan on actually tripling the work force by tonight. the mayor also saying this will likely be a marathon not a sprint when it comes to recovery efforts when it comes

to friday, liz. >> kathy parks, stay safe there. joining us now is the mayor of tallahassee. john daly, mayor thank you for joining us. we know it's a busy night for you. your community not a stranger to hurricanes but helen has been nothing like the area has experienced before. what are you bracing for? what are your big conference as you're expecting for it to make landfall. >> good evening, liz. that's correct. it'll be the most intense hurricane if we're hit by a category three or category four storm. we're bracing for impact. we're bracing for the worse. we know there's going to be a lot of damage. we know there's going to be a lot of destruction. the residents have done a tremendous job getting ready as well and i want to keep stressing to please take care of yourself, your family, your

neighbors and your neighborhood. but this is going to be a catastrophic storm for us. if it does hit us as a category three or a category four. >> yeah, do you think the infrastructure is prepared in the city for something like this? >> we've been working for the past week to make sure we're strengthening all aspects of our infrastructure whether it's direct water system, natural gas system. but look when you have a category four that hits you head on you're going to have significant damage. so we are preparing for restoration after the storm. we have called in our mutual aid agreements and we have crews driving through the night as far as oklahoma to come help out the city of that will -- city of tallahassee. it was mentioned and it is true. we'll be tripling our work force and once the storm passes we will have mutual aid that will be able to come help us as

well. our hope is to triple the work force to help us with power. but we're bracing and it's going to be devastating. i cannot stress enough for the residents that we need to shelter in place. if you want to leave, you must leave now. find a safe place to be. go to one of our shelters and let's be safe and let's be smart. >> i was going to ask you that mayor. what's the mood on the ground there. what are you seeing as you drive around. do you feel that people there are truly taking these warnings seriously? >> absolutely. liz, we're also a college town. we have florida state university. florida agriculture and mechanical university. tallahassee state college. we have a student population of about 70,000. working with the presidents of those institutions yesterday they shut down the college campuses. we have encouraged the students to go home, to be safe. those students that have been remaining we have great shelters in place for them to also go be safe. for residents here. we have a saying here we're

tallahassee strong. unfortunately we're familiar with hurricanes although we've never been hit by a storm of this magnitude. but we know how to prepare and we've taken the time to prepare. we will be ready. we have planned. it's just a matter of what is mother nature going to bring us. we'll do the assessment. we'll roll up our sleeves and do as much as we can once it's safe. >> have you talked to the governor. is there something you're asking or resources you're getting from the state ahead of the storm? >> i'm very pleased that we had a conversation with the governor's office and he has declared a state of emergency. i have had an opportunity to talk to the white house, and president biden has declared a state of emergency for our area. but those actions along with the state of emergency cuts a lot of red tape. gives us tremendous flexibility to be able to respond. and so, we are in the proper position. we're properly prepared. we have the assets either coming into our community or already staged.

we have the personnel coming into our community to compliment our work force as well. we will be prepared. the question is, how bad will the damage be? and if i can liz, i just want to thank all the american men and women that work for the city of tallahassee, the utilities, our first responders, state level, federal, all of the mutual aids that are coming in. all the personnel and the surrounding counties. they're doing an incredible job to try to keep us safe. >> all right, mayor daly. thank you so much. hoping you stay safe. florida's big bend region is bracing for up to 20 feet of life threatening storm surge. the area now preparing for its third hurricane in just over a year. including hurricane adelia in august of last year which caused millions of dollars in damages and left several people dead. our jesse kersh is in that area right now. i know he's joining us from a car because conditions there are taking a turn for the

worse. jesse, where are you right now. what's the latest from where you are. >> reporter: hey liz we're just making our way into perry florida. you were talking about adalia and debby. i was here for debby, i was not here for adalia. it's starting to calm downright now and this is that literal, textbook calm before the storm as you talked about. you can see it on screen there. we're bracing for quite a bit of storm surge. really powerful winds in this area. we came from cedar key earlier and people were boarding up buildings there. but frankly it's unclear how much of a difference that will make because we're looking at storm surge that could be well over my head when was standing out of earlier.

people were filling sandbags to the protect their homes and then get out. we spoke to a man who decided to stay home during debby and was spooked by the winds that came from debby. and that was cat one: we're talking about something that will be dramatically more. you do not want to be in the path of these storms when they're coming through. and it's not áepb so much about the wind damage. you can hide from the wind but you run from the water. and that is the biggest concern for people who are living very close to the coastline. they will be potentially in the face of that storm surge. and you do not want to be in that position, liz. >> absolutely. jesse. was thank you for joining us with that report. we know the communication signal was going in and out because of the storm there. but thank you and stay safe.

tampa is also bracing for hurricane helene. the city expecting up to 8 feet of storm surge there as visitors close down and residents prepare for the for the impact. melissa is joining us. are you starting to feel the winds shifting? >> we are feeling the are feeli facing an old rival, -let's go! -the g-men you're not getting this anywhere else. stream thursday night football. only on prime.

someone get a helmet on this guy. xfinity internet customers, ask how to get a free 5g phone and a second unlimited line free for a year. switch today! that was the overwhelming

response i got from young male union voters in michigan when i asked them what they were going to. more than other voters they tend to be young or black and hispanic. they get more news, these are the undecided. the unhappily committed who can make the difference in this tight presidential election. and the undecideds are challenging old perceptions of how identity influences voting. joining me now is peters the lead byline in that rivetting story that fits directly with my reporting. thank you for being here. when biden was still in the race there was a lot of talk about the double haters. talk about the double haters.

to call its information implies there's a sort of like an engine of interest in current events. i think they are just, the world is much more insular. it makes for when i came out of

that meeting with these union workers, it is going to be really hard for the harris campaign in particular to a disabuse these young men of the notion. these were people randomly selected in a poll. and i called a lot of them back. so what they say in addition to lesser of two evils they felt better.

when he was president they felt they had money more in their pocket. inflation was a lot lower back then in the prepandemic days. they don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about the controversies he creates. like look at what happened after the debate and the ridiculous lie about eating cats and dogs. it's something they tune out as nice. >> yes i found the same thing thinking of the folks i spoke with. and you make the larger point, not only are they not sort of swayed by trump's inflammatory rhetoric. a lot of them recognize that kamala harris has a better temperament. has a better disposition to be president. but even that understanding and belief isn't necessarily moving them decidedly into harris' corner. >> right, they're human beings full of contradictions we all

are. >> we contain multitudes, jeremy. >> i think kamala harris acting more presidential and at the same time say, i think that donald trump needs to shut his mouth and doesn't respect in what i want to see in a president. they do think that he would be more respected by world leaders. i think a lot of that also has to do with the fact that she's a woman. some of the voters i spoke with were skeptical that the country would receive having a female president in a positive way. i don't know the vestude. there are plenty of female presidents in the rest of the world. the rest of the world got there first. there's a lot of questions about what she stands for still. she's only be a candidate for two months. usually by this point we know these people for two years. they've been running for president for two years.

she hasn't had that luxury of time. >> i just feel there are deeper sort of breaks that i'm not sure for time would heal. the traditional definitions of masculinity. setting that, i mean it's very hard for a woman to argue that she's you know proman, given the fact that she's trying to be the first woman president in american history. i wonder if that on its own is enough to make it a very steep climb for undecides who in large part as you said are mostly men. young men. that is a demonstration of how unhappily persuaded or unimpressed voters. because that's really what

we're talking about here. voters who are unimpressed with each candidate. this is often for them not a moral decision. this is a practical decision. who is going to improve my life. am i going to by electing this person feel better about myself, feel like my family is more security. they cast aside you know all of the things that we know very well and you and i have both reported on about trump's serious character of flaws. his abuse of power. so on. it just doesn't have the same kind of moral weight. >> and they're going back and forth a little bit too right. just because they're saying harris today doesn't mean they'll saying harris tomorrow. anyone who is looking at the polls and seeing the dial shifting, could be part of it. thank you for your time, my friend. >> thank you. we have some breaking news this evening to bring you tonight involving the mayor of america's largest city. this one. the new york times is reporting

tonight that new york city mayor eric adams has been indicted on federal chargeless. charges. the times reports those charges remain sealed as of this evening. so we do not know what those charges are. and what they include or do not include. joining me now is msnbc legal correspondent lisa ruben. lisa if you could for people outside of new york city and even in new york city. can you put into perspective the wide circling of indictment that surround the indictment of the mayor of our fair city. >> right now we only know of one indictment. and the new york times is only reporting that he is the only one indicted. there have been swirling

reports of indictments. that includes schools chancellor david banks who announced yesterday his intent to retire in december. it includes deputy mayor wright who is also the chancellors partner and multiple other city hall aids, campaign aids, and people who are associated with those folks including brothers for example of the former police commissioner and of the school's chancellor. there are multiple ongoing investigations. our colleague at wnbc john dietz has a report where he indicated that there were at least 5, 6 or 7 different investigations involving the mayor. that having been said, what we understand at this point or believe at this point is that the indictment that will be unsealed tomorrow concerns the first launch investigation or at least the one that was first made public. and that's about mayor adams and campaign finance allegations. specifically, allegations that he was illegally funneling

money from foreign governments through his campaign and or accepting money from those foreign governments directly. a number of folks associated with his campaign finance operation were also the subject of searches throughout this last year. they include briana suggs and avanova who has been on leave. >> can you talk about how legislators have been circling around the mayor himself. if you've been paying attention to new york politic, we know his phones have been seized. we've been leading up to this moment. when you saw the circle widen and then tighten around mayor adams. the fact that his phone was seized was an indication that he would be in the middle of this. can you tell us more about the time line here, lisa. >> the mayor's phones were seized several months ago. while there was silence about the mayor himself, that's when the feds started closing in on

other people close to the mayor. serving either search warrants or subpoenas on some of the people i just mentioned. but last saturday is probably when some of this hit its apex. that's when the mayor's counsel resigned in a very terse letter saying she appreciated the opportunity to certain but was resigning sunday evening. most public officials and servants do not resign on a saturday night. particularly people who had familiarity with the mayor's reputation thought something has to be very wrong for lisa zornberg to leave her position. one of the reasons leaving to lisa zornberg's resignation that she had advised several people in his administration should be separated from city hall. that they no longer should work there and that mayor adams

would not take her advise. at that point, she wisely decided to step away from the add administration that the signs grew noisier that the feds were closing in on mayor adams himself. >> just to put a little more meat on the bone here. the you mentioned five, six, seven investigations. the mayor has been indicted. they are going to be federal charges coming out of the southern district of new york expected tomorrow. they have been investigating federal prosecutors whether the mayor conspired with the turkish government and they have also sought information related to five other countries. israel, china, qatar, and uzbekistan. those are the countries of interest that the feds were looking at in conjunction with the mayor and potential illegal

foreign donations to his campaign. lisa, explain for those of us who are a little bit sort of in, confused about how one mayor would be able to be the mayor of you know one of the best cities in the world. but also one of the craziest, most chaotic, expansive metropolises while also dealing with not one but not two but up to seven federal investigations. what does that practically look like and what does this mean for his ability to govern. because of right now the mayor is still in office. >> the mayor is still in office. and alex, the only person who can remove the mayor from office is the governor of the state of new york. unless the mayor voluntarily resigns he would have to be removed by governor hochul from office. if the mayor were to resign

voluntarily. the city charter requires that the public advocate become the mayor. under the city charter, williams would become mayor for around 60 days before a special election could be held. so that would really place new york city government in even more chaos that it's currently under. as we were just talking about a few minutes ago. there's a big sense in the city of new york, there's a sense right now of who is leading this city. who is in control. if a deputy mayor and the school's chancellor and former police commissioner and even the interim former police commissioner are subject to federal investigations. who has the time and attention to devote to governing this city much less the ethical standards necessary to govern america's largest and as you mentioned most chaotic city at this very moment. >> msnbc legal correspondent indispensable at this hour lisa ruben.

thank you for your thoughts my friend. >> thank you. >> joining me now joyce vance. just to reiterate what we have now. msnbc news can report that mayor adams is expected to face federal charges by prosecutors out of the southern of new york. the feds are judging potentially, reportedly the mayor of new york city. if that is in fact, what happens. eric adams will become the first mayor in new york city history to be charged while in office. your thoughts. >> so i think this looks like a classic federal public corruption investigation. unfortunately the justice department has repeatedly been in the business of indicting mayors who are involved in corruption. that doesn't come as a surprise i don't think to anyone.

there's been a number of investigations here. >> joyce i'm going to let you turn your phone off. i'm going to do it magically. >> it happens. >> just in terms of you're talking about a classic corruption investigation. what we know is the feds were interested in potential illegal foreign, the countries that were included turkey, israel, china, qatar, south korea and uzbekistan. you know, lisa ruben mentioned there may be up to 6, 7 different federal investigations. how would those work. what is the sort of pecking order of those investigations and sort of how do you expect them to work in concert these

indictments tomorrow. >> mump of the early interests some of the early indication that we had involved these investigations about turkey. perhaps it was some sort of bribery or pay to play. we don't know but prosecutors have likely been to the garage obtained an indictment that would be unsealed and we'll learn more about the details of what their alleging once they unseal that indictment. whether it's limited simply to the turkey investigation, are there others? will it only involve the mayor or will there be multiple defendants in a conspiracy in this case. >> i should just again for folks who haven't been following this closely. that's terribly understandable. the reporting that we have has focused on mr. adams pressuring

the fire department to approve a new turkish consulate. they're reviewed free flights and flight upgrades that the mayor has received from turkish airlines. they also looked at the 2022 cup in qatar that the mayor attended as well as the tickets he got to the world cup in qatar. we're also looking at israel, china, qatar, south korea and uzbekistan. they seized the mayors phones, i said phones plural but may be singular. what do you think they would want to get from phones in a case like this. >> they're able to get data they believe has been deleted or can't be recovered. it can be useful simply for recovering addresses and contacts and patterns of

communications. if you have the appropriate probable cause you can get communications themselves. you might see searches on the phone. what has the individual who's phone you've seized been searching for. phones are a gold mine, a real treasure-trove for investigators that can help you build linkages that are used for further prosecution. >> when you talk about. this is obviously very much a, a quickly moving weather front. but when you talk about the mayor's ability to leave the city on a practical matter. facing federal indictments. i mean how compromised will he be on ethical and moral questions around that. >> well look, people in our system of criminal justice are innocent until proven guilty. frequently we see situations

like this where people who are under indictment remain in office particularly local leaders. the mayor of detroit was prosecuted by our colleague under the obama administration. we prosecute people in jefferson county of the county committee. those folks try to remain in office and stay as long as possible. and it sets up a difficult situation especially with conflicts of interest between their personal interest and the citizens they're supposed to serve. >> msnbc legal analyst joyce vance. great to get your perspective on this. thank you. it was our fortune that you were booked for this evening. joining me now is tom winter, tom. what can you tell us about the

potentially looming indictment of the mayor. >> the prosecutors of the southern district of new york the mayor in a statement to msnbc news, i always knew if i stood my ground for new yorkers that i would be a target and a target i became. if i'm charged i am innocent. i am going to fight all of this with every ounce of my might and spirit. this is coming through investigations that have branched out to a number of different places. the new york city police department being one of them with the police commissioner steps down over the last few weeks. this investigation, may center around the building for the turkish government. federal investigators have been looking into whether adams had pressured the city's former

fire commissioner or the fire chiefs to look into the possibility of getting some of the necessary fire approvals here in new york city. completed on time. and so that's been a bit of a question and if so why did he pressure to get that building done on time. i think that's kpwoeupbg to be, you know a big question mark here. but again, the specific nature of the charges, we're not yet reporting we're obviously working on it. no other news organization to my knowledge is reporting the specific nature of the charges. we are reporting that this long term investigation that has led to the seizure of the mayor's phone. federal agents approached the mayor flanked by his nypd security detail. approached him. took his cell phone. we've seen the cell phones of a number of new york city staffers being taken of mayoral appointees. some of them very high ranked

within city government taken by the fbi. there's a separate as i mentioned police investigation rather into the police department. and that's being led by agents assigned to the u.s. attorney's office for the southern district of new york. so, again we'll see where all this goes and how it comes together. i'm a little hesitant to mention other names because of course, we don't have any indication yet of who or if anybody might be charged alongside the mayor. and so we want to be a little bit careful with that. there's been a number of people we reported on in the past. being at least a subject or witness to this investigation. and i think tomorrow will be very interesting to see how this all develops. >> nbc news investigative reporter tom winter with the latest. thank you for the update tom. we look forward to more. >> the breaking news tonight is that new york city mayor eric adams has been indicted on federal charges. we do not yet know what those charges are but we know for

weeks, one of those investigations is focused on adams alleged ties to the government of turkey. earlier this week the new york times reported that investigation also sought information from the administration related to five other countries including israel. china, qatar, south korea and uzbekistan. all of this comes at a time when the justice department under attorney general mayor garland has been pursuing a number of cases against election officials. many of them related to foreign influence. that of course includes the recent conviction of new jersey senator bob menendez for accepting bribes to benefit the governments of egypt and qatar and the charges against henry cuellar for the acts as a foreign agent. we're still waiting to hear what the charges are. the news this moment, this hour, is new york city mayor adams is now the first mayor of

america's largest city to ever be federally indicted. the mayor has now released a statement responding to this news. saying i always knew if i stood my ground for new yorkers that i would be a target. and a target i became. if i am charged i am innocent and i will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit. we have much more to get to this evening. we will be right back. i couldn't slow down. e starting a businesswn. from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs. the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase

that nbc news is reporting that new york city mayor eric adams is expected to face federal charges from prosecutors out of the southern district of new york and he may face those charges as soon as tomorrow, according to two sources familiar with the matter. we will bring you more information, more updates on that as we get it. but first, the 2024 election. the latest new york times polling shows a 10 point swing in the state of arizona. donald trump is up five points in the state where kamala harris was once a head by the same margin only last month. 10 points. what? according to the same poll, arizona voters rate the economy as their number one concern and 56% of them say they trust donald trump more than kamala harris on that specific issue. joining me now is democratic senator mark kelly of arizona. senator kelly, thank you for being here and rolling with the

breaking news as we have it. let me just start with the 10 point swing in the poll. how much are you paying this poll? >> i ran to really close races in arizona in 2020 and 2022 and saw a lot of polls. they come every week. there are a lot of them. there are a lot of differences. they would show me up 13 points and others a week later would show me up by one or two or even tied, so we see this in arizona. i think what really matters here though is there are 45 days until the election and kamala harris on every issue, whether it is the economy, whether it is the border, whether it is women's healthcare rights, arizonans will see that she is absolutely without a doubt the right person to be the next president of the united states. i expect her to win arizona and

to win the election. >> when you talk about those issues, i want to dig deeper and again, i understand what you say about polls, they go all over the place, but there is a weird dynamic that was uncovered in this poll, which is 58% of arizonans, it has been a long night, support proposition 139 and that is the right to abortion initiative. it is a ballot measure. of those people who support it, 87% support kamala harris, but 33% support donald trump. are we to think that in arizona there are a healthy number of pro-choice trump voters and if so what do you make of that? >> i hope not because he is the guy that took away this fundamental right from women in arizona and across the country. he says he broke roe v. wade. there are women across the country that are dying because of a decision that donald trump made and his aggressive desire

to go after this. he has said he thinks women should be punished if they get an abortion and he wants to throw doctors into jail. i was just in georgia the other day and there was a woman there that recently died because she could not get the healthcare she needed because of donald trump. she had a 6-year-old kid. this kid is going to grow up without his mother, because of donald trump's action on this issue. arizonans know that he took this away from them. we have an opportunity to fix this in two ways. first we have a ballot initiative, so arizonans will come out to vote to restore these rights. the second way is to elect kamala harris as president because she has made it very clear that she will sign into law, if we can get it through the congress and i think we will, sign into law a right for women to be able to control their own bodies and their own healthcare. >> the other ballot initiatives

supported by republicans is a ballot measure on immigration, efforts to crack down on undocumented migrants. does it concern you that that is going to be a winning issue for them as far as driving turnout to support republicans at the top of the ticket? >> i think arizonans see through this stuff that is presented by the republicans in the state of arizona. you know, not the republican party. the normal, john mccain republicans, but the donald trump republicans. i will have an opportunity here to go down to the border with the vice president on friday and i am excited that she is going to be there. get to show her the arizona border. get to talk about an issue she cares about that she has worked hard on, while in the white house as vice president. she worked with us to try to pass a bipartisan border security bill. democrats and republicans coming together, but donald

trump would not allow my senate colleagues, republicans in the senate, to do anything on this issue. told them they could not vote for it, so they ran away from it. when she is president we can sign that legislation into law. >> have to ask because you know what it is like to run a senate race in arizona and you are familiar with the top of the ticket. the polling also shows that the democratic for senate is leading kari lake 49 to 43%, a 6% margin. while harris is trailing, the democratic senate candidate is ahead. can you talk about that dynamic? do you see ticket splitting being a phenomenon in arizona? >> there is always going to be that. there was a little bit of that in my race. when you compare ruben gallego to kari lake, he is a veteran, u.s. marine who serves on the armed services community -- committee. really cares about our country.

kari lake is still litigating the last two elections. she says that she is the governor. both races, the top of the ticket and the senate race, you have a very clear contrast between people that want to move this country forward. the vice president, kamala harris, wants to cut costs for american families. bring down the price of prescription drugs, child care. donald trump just wants to double down on big tax cuts for the wealthiest americans. drag us back into the past. >> senator mark kelly, we will be looking at that trip you're taking with the vice president on friday. thank you for spending time with me tonight. i appreciate you. if you are just joining us the breaking news tonight is that nbc news can report new york city mayor eric adams is expected to face federal charges from prosecutors out of the southern district of new york. he could face charges as soon as tomorrow according to two sources familiar with the matter.
