forces along its northern border with lebanon. according to one u.s. official, the idf is planning for a limited ground operation that could begin at any moment now. israeli commandos have been conducting smaller operations over that border in preparation. just two days after hezbollah confirmed its leader was killed in a massive idf strike in southern beirut. a 2,000 pound bunker busting bomb, according to an expert who spoke with nbc news, dropped on the u.s.-designated terror group's headquarters. it follows the detonation of thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies and promises they will do whatever it takes to secure the northern border. in addition to killing the hezbollah leader, they killed hamas's leader and dropped bombs on power plants and shipping

infrastructure used by the houthis in yemen. the goal, to harm or disable iran's axis of resistance. the danger, a war in the middle east that drags in u.s. forces in. the u.s. has been able to convince israel to scale back plans for a larger invasion. does that hold? we start on that knife's edge. joining us from beirut, richard engel. from israel, raf sanchez. richard, what is the latest there? >> reporter: well, it seems that there could be an israeli invasion, a ground invasion into lebanon that could begin in the next several hours or in the next several days according to hezbollah and arab media. lebanese troops have begun to

withdraw in anticipation of an israeli move. according to the u.s. source, briefed by israel on this matter, as you said, israel plans to cross the border, plans to cross the border soon, according to israel's defense minister. according to this u.s. official, israel said to the u.s. that it would be a limited incursion, limited in time, days, not weeks. it would be limited geographically. what exactly that means, however, remains unclear. how many days also remains unclear. u.s. officials are also concerned that once it begins, it could expand. all wars take on a life of their own once they -- once the troops cross that zero line, once troops are in contact. it could also be that israel is telling the biden administration what it wants to hear. president biden has been pushing for a cease-fire.

president biden has been openly calling on israel and other parties in the region have been doing the same, to have a cease-fire in gaza, to have a cease-fire in lebanon. going no officially it's telling the u.s. that it's crossing the border in what it describes as a limited operation. we will see how limited it is. we will see how limited it is once there is contact. hezbollah has been prepared for this kind of operation. yes, hezbollah leadership has been decimated. the leader of the group was killed last friday. the group still has tens of thousands of fighters. i was just recently in southern lebanon. the area is full of hezbollah men who are ready to fight. there are dug-in positions. there are tunnels, according to both israeli and american

sources. hezbollah has been taunting israel for weeks, begging them almost to come in because hezbollah believes that it has more of an advantage in ground fighting compared to trying to defeat israel, which it has vastly superior technology and a vastly -- a very sophisticated missile defense system. so something appears to be starting soon. the israelis have told the americans, it's going to be limited in time and scope. but we will see once the troops are in contact and if they are in contact soon, if that is in fact the case. >> raf, benjamin netanyahu was at the u.n. speaking on friday. during that speech, he said that israel's reach is long. they can reach anywhere in the middle east if they need be. if they need to. we know netanyahu rushed back to israel after his speech. that's when the strike happened

on beirut, which ended up killing nasrallah. what's the posture within israel? >> reporter: you drive across northern israel right now and you are seeing signs of an army on the move. there are israeli tanks on the sides of the highways, military vehicles moving around. as someone who has been here for the last year, it feels like what we saw around the borders of gaza in the weeks after october 7th. israeli forces were massing. we didn't know exactly when they were going to go in. it was the unmistakable signs of a military that was preparing for a ground offensive. multiple sources tell nbc news that this israeli offensive into southern lebanon could begin as early as tonight. i can tell you, it it feels like things are moving very quickly on this side of the border right now. a little earlier, the israeli military closed a section of the eastern edge of the israel/lebanon border.

they declared it a closed military zone. we don't know, but every indication would suggest that may be where the sort of tip of the israeli spear will cross over into southern lebanon. we are seeing reports in lebanese media of intense israeli artillery fire in that same area. we know that in recent weeks israeli special forces have been carrying out limited raids over the border. that border about 15 miles north of where we are right now. these are probing operations. they are gathering intelligence. they are testing hezbollah's defenses. as richard said, the israeli military is apparently planning for limited operations. back in 1982, the israeli military planned for a limited operation and ended up staying in southern lebanon for 20 years. it was a decision that rewrote the history of the middle east as we speak. netanyahu and his security cabinet are meeting in tel aviv. they may be authorizing a

similarly momentous decision. >> thank you very much. joining us now, the former prime minister of israel. thank you for joining us. i'm glad you could make it. a lot has happened in the past few days, in the past week. is this strategy of killing nasrallah, going after the ports in yemen, killing the hamas leader an effective one? >> first of all, this is a strategy of defense. yesterday, the houthis from yemen were shooting -- or the day before yesterday, they were shooting a ballistic missile aiming at tel aviv. we have to do something about it. also the hezbollah for almost a year were shooting hundreds of rockets almost every day,

hundreds of rockets against israel. they forced out 80,000 citizens. they were shooting and fighting and attacking almost every possible direction into the state of israel. something had to be done. i don't think that this policy of might or anything of this nature -- this is fundamentally a policy of self-defense. the question is, what's next? what is it that we are trying to achieve now? this is similar -- a different question. targeting of the terrorist organizations. i think they deserve what they got. nasrallah personally was responsible for killing

thousands of people in lebanon, in syria, and in israel over the last 30 years. it was a terrorist organization. one that was brutal and very extreme terrorist leader. there was no way that you could compromise with him. he deserves what he got. the other question is, how do we now bring an end to this conflict in a way that will allow us to bring back the israelis that left their homes to their homes in the border of israel. will hezbollah agree to pull out from the border across the 40 kilometers line? i hope that they will do it. i hope that we won't have to use

more military force. i'm not happy and i'm not anxious to have this operation. i hope that the efforts americans are doing and the french are doing to bring an end to this with an agreement will succeed -- be successful and it will not require military operations. >> let me ask you another question. you call this self-defense, arguably so. if self-defense means going into, reaching into iran, attacking iran and if israel believes it would be effective to do so, to take out the ayatollah or somebody in iran, does israel do it? >> you know, katy, you are carried away by the impact of some of the recent operations. pagers and walkie-talkies and

the killing of nasrallah. don't push it further. israel is not going to attack the leader of a legitimate leader of a country which is a member of the united nations. it's not what we do. we do have to consider how to deal with the threats from iran. i think that the iranians are becoming more and more aware as of recently that if they will attack israel, they may face not just israel but also the united states of america and the british and the french. the american president, thank god, broke into the middle east two aircraft carriers and one atomic submarine and many f-22s, the most advanced military aircrafts. i think the iranians know now that if they will try to attack

israel, they will have to face much more formidable power than just the state of israel. in any event, we have the right to defend ourselves. certainly against those who are shooting ballistic missiles or conventional missiles from lebanon or from yemen as they were doing for a whole year now. i don't think that we are planning a war against iran. the prime minister of israel is carried away by his own rhetoric too much and will appreciate if he will restrain some of his arrogant rhetoric. it doesn't mean that we are going to attack iran. >> i have heard you speak eloquently about what the final solution -- that's a bad way to term it. the ultimate solution for peace in the middle east. you talk about dividing up jerusalem and having there be a

real two-state solution and jerusalem being ruled by the u.n., security being -- >> not jerusalem. >> is that a possibility anymore? is there anywhere within reach? >> number one, i'm not talking about having jerusalem ruled by anyone. the west side of jerusalem is the capital of the state of israel and forever will remain. the other is the capital of the palestinian state. there's no problem. what i propose in addition is that all city of jerusalem, which is a center point, extremely sensitive and important for muslims, for jews and for christians, will be administers, will not have an exclusive political sovereignty but will be administered by a trust of five nations under the u.n. security council principles

and that two of the five nations will be palestine and the state of israel. i will tell you something, the two-state solution tied together with the former foreign minister and the ambassador of the united nations of the palestinian authority, we propose -- we issued a joint statement signed by both of us that outlined what we believe should be, the end of the war in gaza and the framework -- basic principles of the peace between israel and palestinians based on what i propose to the palestinian authority in 2008. you ask me, is this popular? i will tell you a secret between you and me. is it supported by the majority of the israelis? no. is it supported by the majority of the palestinians? probably not. i will tell you something, had

it been widely supported there wouldn't be a need to propose it. this is the time to put it up forward when it perhaps is not popular enough. there is no alternative for this solution. if someone wants to have a solution, we have to push it forward. i will tell you something. i keep saying it all the time here. let's assume for a sake for our discussion that we will achieve what i think is almost impossible which is a total, absolute victory over hamas and the hezbollah. there will not be left one hamas person under the sun. okay? they were vanished. we will destroy them. we will reach out to them. we will kill all the others. then what? there are still 6 million

palestinians. the question that israel has to answer is, what are we up for? do we want to remain occupied forever? do we want to deny the palestinian people from their right of self-determination? do we want to separate by agreement with assurances, with security? they will provide them the opportunity to live their lives alongside the state of israel. that's what i propose. that's what the other side proposed. we have to fight for it. it's not going to be easy. it doesn't -- it's not trying to make me a very popular person perhaps among some israelis. in the long run, there's no alternative. we have to fight for that which we think is important for us. >> mr. prime minister, thank you very much. that last answer there was really what i was looking for with the first question. might the solution here -- does

it get you to an effective end? you have come closer than anybody else to finding peace between israel and the palestinians. we appreciate your time. >> thank you, katy. we have to make a hard turn now. we will talk about the death toll from hurricane helene. it's rising. officials in four states say more than 115 people have died. at least 35 of them from one north carolina county alone. look at this incredible damage where sudden flash floods washed away roads and bridges and homes. at least an entire town. asheville, the city of asheville is now nearly unrecognizable. it was underwater at one point. it could take years to fully recover. >> in addition to fema, that includes the federal communications commission to help establish communications capability. the national guard. the army corps of engineers and the department of defense that can provide resources at its

disposal to rescue and assist in clearing debris and delivering life-saving supplies. so far, that's over 3,600 personnel deployed. that's growing by the day. >> joining us now, jay gray who is in asheville for us. i just said asheville is nearly unrecognizable. what is it like down there? >> reporter: well, we are actually in boone right now. it's not far from asheville. it's the same here. i will walk you through some of what's happened here. you can see the power lines across the road here. this area residents tell us was filled with water in 30 minutes. totally overrun. snapping this pole as you can see here. the entire area here is caked in mud. you have the power lines down. see the vehicle over there? that suv was picked up and pushed over into that area. what the neighbors are telling

us is, there was someone on top of that car as it was floating. the fire department came in and rescued that driver who was on top of the vehicle. a lot, obviously, unfolding here right now. as it is across this entire region. you have talked about it. more than 100 have died and more than one-third of the victims from the storm and aftermath are from the carolinas. >> jay gray, thank you. joining us now, the director and communications and public engagement -- of communications and public engagement, lillian govis. it's a terrible day. it's been a rough weekend for you guys. there are so many unaccounted for. what's the expectation about all of those hundreds who are still -- haven't been located yet? >> one of the biggest issues that we have been facing is the lack of connectivity. we don't have power. we don't have cellphone towers.

we have had hundreds and thousands of people contacting us to try to make connection with their loved ones. once we can get that restored, i think we're going to see a pretty big collective sigh of relief from a number of people. however, as you noted, we do have 35 fatalities that we have confirmed here. we expect that that number is going to grow. just last night i got to go home for the first time. it was after dark. i got lost trying to find my own home, which i was lucky to still have one, because all of the landmarks where i live in black mountain are gone. >> how do you begin to clean up from this? how do you begin to recover from this? what do you need? >> well, we need first and foremost, a lot of people have been here to vacation and love it and think it's beautiful. it sure is. please don't come here now. we don't have any infrastructure

to support anyone coming here that isn't part of a coordinated response. we do have donations set up on our website. you can reach out to volunteer. you can reach out to make donations. we can coordinate that. if you have large supplies of water, those sorts of things, we will get that out to the community. we started our first water distribution a little bit ago. we are seeing that response being really large. there are a number of people like where i live where the road has been washed away. the bridge has been washed away. they can't come to the water distributions. we have to do really specificized swift-water boat to get them out and get them what they need to start recovery. it's going to be a long time. >> this hurricane made landfall as a big storm. it had a lot of damage. it hit an area not so populated.

the destruction it has left in its wake in georgia, in south carolina and north carolina, also in florida, it is remarkable. unbelievable to see these images. biblical flooding in north carolina. were you prepared for this? could you see this coming? >> we knew that something big and something major and something significant was happening. we had sent out messages telling residents to self-evacuate, especially those along our beautiful rivers. those are low-lying areas. we had been sending text messages, calls asking the community to leave. but this storm was so insidious in the way it showed up while people were sleeping, and then took away every opportunity to get out. for a while, all of our interstates were closed. there was no way out.

not to the north or south or east or west. we have a major interstate that's completely closed due to a landslide. we have individuals who are trapped because of landslides who we are trying our best to get to. we have more heavy equipment coming. we have lots and lots of highly skilled search and rescue teams coming. we know there are survivors out there. we will get them. >> is there still flooding? >> there is still flooding, yes. we still have significant flooding that's going on. it has not eased as of yet across our county. so that remains a threat as well. >> thank you for making time for us today. i know it's been a difficult day. again, you need help, you don't need visitors, you need people coming down there in a coordinated effort to help. water is so important. water you can drink. lillian, thank you. >> thank you. coming up, what latino

voters like -- we will make another turn. what latino voters like about donald trump and what they say is keeping them from kamala harris. she still has the numbers, but her margin is shrinking. steve kornacki joins us. first, it's a plot straight out of a horror movie. it's a plot straight out of a horror movie. one presidential candidate -- guess who -- is just saying to the american public that is sounds like a great idea. don't go anywhere.

the trump campaign says their candidate was joking when he appeared to float the plot of "the purge" as a solution for shoplifting at a rally in pennsylvania. >> if you had one really violent day like a guy like mike kelly, put him in charge, congressman kelly, put him in charge for one day, mike, would you say -- right here. he is a great congressman. would you say, mike, that if you were in charge, you would say, please, don't touch them, don't touch them, let them rob your store? one rough hour -- i mean real rough -- the word will get out and it will end immediately. end immediately. you know? it will end immediately. >> that's the plot of "the purge." joining us now garrett haake who is in georgia where trump is

campaigning. the campaign says this is a joke. but it's very in character for donald trump to be talking about something that's violent and maybe horrifying to folks and for the campaign to follow it up with, he was just kidding. >> reporter: yeah. those mostly right. i never saw "the purge," i'm not a horror movie fan, but it falls under the umbrella the way donald trump talks about the issue. he paints a picture of an american absolutely racked by crime. he likes to talk about migrant crime, which is often the contact where he delivers the most gruesome details about criminal acts committed often in cities or states where he is giving his rallies. that's part of what you saw today. it's belied by the fact that the national violent crime statistics are down. donald trump needs violent crime to be high and bad to suggest you need a strong leader like only he can provide to bring it back down. par for the course generally

speaking, but an unusual twist on a trumpian staple. >> i alone can fix it. you are in georgia. you are at the site of a disaster, the aftermath of hurricane helene. donald trump was down there. what happened? >> reporter: a couple things. first of all, donald trump came here to highlight what he says is inaction by kamala harris and joe biden, taking the unusual step of bringing his secret service footprint and security entourage to give this message. >> the federal government is not being responsive. they're having a hard time getting the president on the phone. he won't get on it. the vice president, she's out campaigning looking for money. they gotta be -- they have to be focused over here. this is a really bad one.

>> reporter: this was an attack line workshopworkshopped over t weekend. both of them have access to telephones. we know that joe biden spoke to brian kemp, the governor of georgia, on sunday. kemp says in a news conference today. the other interesting thing about trump's visit, he had been saying on truth social he believes democrats, specifically the governor of north carolina and the federal government, had been intentionally denying aid to republican parts of the tar heel state. i asked what if any evidence he had to back that up. you can see what he said here. [ inaudible ] >> biden did call governor kemp yesterday. >> vote trump, people.

>> reporter: difficult to hear. his answer was, take a look. i have nothing to show you right now. go find it yourself. another from the trump stable of responses when pressed on something like this. i tried to follow up further down the rope line but didn't have better luck. >> it helps when you are in a gaggle to be nine feet tall as you are. you can see over everybody. >> reporter: every now and then. >> thank you so much. thanks for trying to get answers. governor cooper of north carolina is about to update the public on the aftermath of hurricane helene. you are not going to believe the images out of asheville. we will show them to you. they could decide the election. kamala harris is losing some of them. what's up with the latino vote? . beautiful design, tremendously rich content, and, my favorite touch, it's the only site that always connects you to the listing agent. feels like a work of art!

this year, latinos are expected to account for nearly 15% of eligible voters in november. a new high according to pew research. new numbers from nbc news, telemundo and cnbc show vice president harris leading donald trump among latino voters 54% to 40%. that margin is not the biggest. it's the smallest level of latino support for a democratic candidate in the last four presidential cycles. joining us now, steve kornacki along with national

correspondent david noriega in clark county, nevada. steve, walk us through the numbers. >> that's why this is important here. harris is ahead by 14 points over trump among latino voters. the big question coming out of 2020, remember, trump in 2020 improved somewhat among latino voters. was that a one-time thing or a trend? i think this is what the trend looks like. it is something. look at this, in 2020, joe biden -- from the exit polls -- beat donald trump by 33 points by latino voters. now look at it four years later. look where the 14 fits in with the other recent elections. tighter than we are used to see. latino voters, fast growing. in one in six voters are going to be latino. we see a gender gap. we see it with hispanic voters. this is tied among men. women, harris with a 26 point advantage.

we see an age gap. under 50, this race is almost dead even. harris by three points over trump. over 50, that's where harris -- the heart of her support. 30-point advantage there. how about the issues? we asked issues and characteristics, traits. which candidate, trump or harris, would be better on? the biggest advantage is for kamala harris is on abortion. it's a big advantage. the question of being competent and effective as president, again, harris with a sizable advantage over trump. then you do see, the economy and inflation. we asked voters what the most important issue is to them, you will get economy, you will get inflation. you see here trump has advantages. this might surprise some people on the question of the border and immigration, which candidate we asked latino voters, trump is the margin by 13 points.

that i think is a surprise result to some. there is also a change in attitude in general toward immigration among hispanic voters. 2016 when donald trump first came on the scene, this was asked, does immigration help the united states more than it hurts or does it hurt the united states more than it helps? in 2016 by a 69% to 16% margin, latino voters says it helped. help is down to 62 and hurt side is more than doubled to 35. these numbers among latino voters. >> i will apologize. i have bad allergies and it's making my cough. if you heard that, i'm sorry. david, talk to me about nevada. the latino vote is a big deal there nevada. it can sway the outcome of the state. what are you hearing down there? >> reporter: i am in las vegas on the east side, the predominantly latino part of time. i've been here for a couple of days talking to voters. first of all, this community is

torn between the parties and the candidates. they are torn as a community. they are torn within their households, individually, more so than they have been in the last several election cycles. that said, nearly every single voter that i have spoken to near universally when i ask, what do they care about, what is motivating them, the answer is pocketbook issues. inflation, jobs and the economy. that's reflected in the poll as well. interestingly, it doesn't always lead where you would expect. often it's assumed that this is a strength for donald trump. in many cases among voters i have spoken to, it's the economy that's pushing them towards trump, because they are nostalgic for a pre-pandemic economy, which they associate with trump's time in office. it doesn't always lead in that direction. i want to play you clips from my interviews with different voters going in different directions. >> i vote for trump because the four years he was in office we were doing good.

kamala, she's in office and not getting [ bleep ] done. there was more work, too. we were able to afford things. >> there's been a huge, drastic change between the cost in education, cost in food, cost in even purchasing a home. it's triple if not quadrupled. wages have not. >> reporter: that's something harris is better equipped to handle? >> yeah. they worked hard to get to where they are today. >> reporter: i think what this shows is something that the harris campaign is very conscious of, particularly here in nevada. they told me so. they recognize that the economy is a weakness for them when compared to donald trump. they recognize that there is ground to be gained there, or losses to be shored up. you can think about it in that context if you think about the erosion in latino support for democratic candidates in general. that's why the harris campaign

is outspending the trump campaign in trying to reach this latino demographic, find these voters where they are. they spend more than $13 million since august on ads in hispanic media markets. that's more than 20 times the amount trump campaign has spent. the harris rally last night here in las vegas was targeted at latino voters and specifically on the question of the economy. what we don't know yet is whether those outreach efforts are going to translate to votes come november? >> david, steve, thank you very much. we are following breaking news out of georgia. a judge struck down the state's restrictive heartbeat abortion law, which has been in effect since 2022, saying it violates the constitution. the six-week ban has now been struck down in georgia. joining us now, msnbc political contributor, greg bluestein. abortions are legal up to 22 weeks. this is a big deal.

>> it's a seismic court ruling by the judge who earlier also brought up objections to the georgia anti-abortion law. this is likely to be appealed to the georgia supreme court, which is a very conservative bench. we will see what they do. earlier, they reversed his ruling that brought up legal issues with the anti-abortion law. >> let me read a little from a key section. a review of our higher court's interpretations of liberty demonstrates that liberty in georgia includes in its meaning and its protections and rights the power of a woman to control her own body to decide what happens to it and in it and to reject state interference with her health care choices. any chance that there's an injunction put on this while it goes up to the higher courts? >> we will see. we do expect the state to ask for an injunction on this ruling and to immediately appeal to the

georgia supreme court, which is a very conservative body with most of its justices being appointed by republican governors. we have yet to hear from governor kemp and other supporters of this legislation. earlier today, i interviewed the sponsor of the anti-abortion law in general to see if there were any efforts to go further on abortion restrictions next year. essentially, the republicans in georgia are open to re-visiting the statute and going forward with more. >> any idea how this might affect the election? >> for democrats who have been trying to highlight and emphasize abortion rights, this is clearly going to be something that they continue to talk about. vice president harris was in georgia two weeks ago to give a major abortion rights speech in cobb county. it used to be a republican stronghold and flipped democratic in 2016. democrats are going to continue to highlight this, not just to women but to men who believe on

a woman's right to choose. >> it's 6-4, the mets are winning. the braves are currently in position to beat the mets. it's a tense game. go turn on your tv. thank you very much. >> i have not been watching. thank you for reminding me of that. >> i'm glad i did. just when you thought the supply chain was stabilizing, port workers up and down the east coast could walk out tonight. what they are demanding. what will happen if they don't get it. gosh, the mets. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job on indeed, it's easier for talented candidates to find it. which makes it easier for you to hire them.
