san francisco is in crisis and we need real experienced leadership. we need mark farrell. our interim mayor who got things done. who showed we can clear tent encampments,

fight crime, and address the drug crisis. who will make the tough choices for our city's future. "i'm mark farrell. i'm running for mayor because san francisco deserves better." "i'm ready to deliver that change on day one." mark farrell. a proven leader with the experience we need. president trump polling at 48% within the margin of error and with just a sliver of undecided voters still up for grabs. it comes as both candidates are spending the week traveling the country as we enter this final sprint of this election season both spending today in pennsylvania. i want to bring in nbc news national political correspondent steve kornacki. nbc news senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell, michael steele, co-host of

msnbc's "the weekend" and former rnc chairman and the dean of public service at the university of arkansas and also an america s nbc contributor. steve, what do these numbers tell us about the state of the race? >> ana, it tells us our poll has changed a little bit since the last time we polled this race as you show there. 48-48 all tied up. a month ago our poll did show kamala harris five points ahead of donald trump. what happened there in terms of events in the last month that might have changed? well, this was taken this last poll just after that first debate, harris versus trump. since then there's been the vp debate and harris has done a number of interviews. there have been many other campaign events and i think one of the biggest changeses that you see here underneath that top line number there in this poll has to do with the basic attitudes voters have towards these candidates. we asked folks do you have a positive or negative view of them, and you can see where it is right now. they basically look the same.

both 43% positive, and harris, 49 negative and want much difference there, but a month ago there was. on this question a month ago, harris' favorable was 48% and she was above water and 45 was her negative rate and will terrorism's was worse than this, in fact pch a month ago harris had a clear plan on image and likability and now in that poll, that's gone. >> what do the recent list of presidents tell us about what might harris might be facing? >> she's the vice president in unpopular administration. you look here in our poll we asked for joe biden, do you approve of the job he's doing as president? 43% and that's biden's approval rating in the poll and that's the territory he's been in for a while and one of the reasons why democrats weren't nuts about having him as a candidate and why he was replace period.

we also asked about donald trump, do you approve or disapprove of what he did. 48% retrospectively, that's trump's approval rating in the poll. that is higher than biden's number, but also that number 48% is higher than trump ever registered as an approval rating in our poll when he was president. so attitudes towards his press dns ve gotten a little bit warmer since he left office and just to put this in further context, that 43% approval rating for the president for joe biden. again, harris is his vice president, the modern vice president, incumbent vice presidents and they've run for president while being vice president. harris is the third and you see here bush in '88. his boss, reagan had a 59% approval rating and his boss, clinton at a 67 approval rating and gore didn't win popular vote, and a totally different

category. biden at 33% is just in a totally different atmosphere in terms of the population of the administration. >> very interesting. thank you, steve. kelly, we are entering the final stretch of this campaign and what is the vice president's message and her battleground mrits? >> part of of what she'll try to communicate along with her allies and supporters who are working on this is to echo the message that steve has just told us, that it is close and that this is a time for action and not to take anything for granted and to try as some of her associates and surrogates are saying to drive up numbers in democratic areas, not to leave anyone at home because it will be tough in some of the republican areas in those key battleground states. she's in erie, pennsylvania, later today and then in michigan, and part of what she's trying to do is also reach out to black men. part of her message from the campaign today is an opportunity agenda directed at black men with business loans and training

and career opportunities that she is trying to show could make life for them more affordable give them upward potential with some programs directed at the time, they to saya black men and men broadly of all races should not consider some of the trump bravado style and approach as real strength. he would argue, the former president meaning mr. barack obama, that it is not the kind of strength that is what the harris team could bring in terms of reliance on the rule of law and the importance of institutions and all of those kinds of divides. so for the harris campaign these three weeks remaining are about driving up their own vote. trying to make inroads with soft republicans and trying to make certain that the gender gap is not as wide as it appears to be in polling.

>> our latest polling showing women supporting harris by a 14-point margin and men supporting trump by a 16-point margin and that's really interesting there. thank you, kelly o'donnell. also in these numbers, michael steele, we see harris' popularity dip mainly coming from independent voters and young voters. how significant is that? >> it is. it's pretty significant. look, donald trump has spent since he realized that he's finally going to have to deal with kamala harris on the ticket to drive her -- her floor below his ceiling. donald trump has a ceiling of 47%, 48%. steve just showed it. 48 is high. i mean, that's -- he wasn't polling that when he was president. his goal is to drive her floor below that, and so the effective messaging of the negative

messaging of a dispopian america under these marxist democrats like kamala harris, and these leftists who want to turn your children into transgendered whatever. that's the messaging and what is disheartening is a lot of americans like that messaging. they are compelled to align with that messaging because if they weren't she would be running away with this race. so her challenge is time to pull out those voters who do not agree with that messaging, but for some reason feel my vote doesn't matter or they haven't engaged before, why should i engage now? that's the hard part for her, and so donald trump has been effective and the republicans have been effective of creating and splattering her with a lot of negative messaging that have brought her number down from the plus 50% that it was to now 48%

in this race, and now this campaign is playing on donald trump's turf, and so i just want to say it's time to throw the conventional approaches off here. maureen dowd has a very good piece in "the new york times" talking about it's time to flip this script here in the next three weeks to play a little bit more hard ball because they're losing on the numbers game because though her numbers are being pulled beneath his and that's being reflected in what you're seeing right now as steve pointed out. >> there is a difference different message in tones from what harris has been touting their message of joy and seems right now that darker messaging is res res aetnaing new polling.

victoria, it is that end of the election cycle. we snow vice president kamala harris struggling to hold on to latino voters compared to democratic nominees who have come before here. according to pew research, 14% is a new high. why is she losing ground with latino voters? >> there are a whole bunch of reason, ana. i'll give you two, but before i do i want to underscore something michael said which is the anxiety piece and i want to put a political psychology on it that essentially, we know from psychology from hundreds of hundreds of studies that anxiety. when you cue anxiety that makes you perk up. it makes you hone in your attention more and also in many instances leads you to act. so there is a reason why negative ads work and latinos are not immune to this.

they are also spurreded by anxiety like everybody else, but the two things i'm seeing, ana, number one is latinos don't think that trump is talking about them. in the poll there are some really interesting questions there that when donald trump is talking about immigration, is he talking about latinos like you? and the majority of them say no. he's talking about other immigrants. there is a difference between those latinos who are born here and born abroad, but even then you are still seeing big chunks of latinos saying that's just rhetoric, it doesn't apply to me. the second thing, ana, that's a little bit softer is i think that there is a hangover, you know, frustration, discontent among latinos for the failure of daca, for the failure of the dream act to ever come to realization. think way back to the obama

administration first ran he made a promise, he made a promise that there was a pathway to citizenship and that never came to fruition. to me i see this always as a drag that has been with democrats over the last decade in addition to the negativity that we're seeing with the trump campaign, in addition to the border chaos, in addition to the fact that latinos don't think trump is talking about them. >> and so when we keep hearing from the vice president, she will sign that bipartisan border bill. that seems to be her counter argument on the issue of immigration. is that enough? >> i don't think it is enough because we've been told that before. latinos and non-latinos have seen the border be a problem and in the last ten years a huge, huge problem. and so while i think they think that's great, but you know what? i don't know if i'll put full

faith in that because we know congress is divided and we know there will be pushback, so i think there has to be something else in terms of how am i going to make life better. latinos cares about the sammy thing thing everyone else does and the economy and health dare and correctioninging that as well. >> trump's rhetoric, and he was asked if election day will be peaceful. here's how he responded. >> i think the problem is the people from within. we have sick people, radical left lunatics, and it should be very easily handled by if necessary by national guard or if really necessary by the military because they can't let that happen. >> michael, your reaction to that? >> look, i don't know what else to say to my fellow americans. i really don't. you know, i'm tired of trying to explain the obvious. i'm tired of trying to help you understand what the man is

telling you he's going to do. yes, there will be problems on election day. why? because that's the setup play. they've been telling him, telegraphing that they have operatives already on the ground and boards of elections who prepare to disrupt this process. folks, this is not -- this is an endgame for power and for power by one man who wants to be a dictator. he's told us that. so, yeah, when he sits there and goes yes, the problem is within. that's from jekz. he knows what the problem is. he is creating the problem and so enwhat else to say at this point. you all see the stuff. you've had four years. you saw what happened and there was january 6th. you seemed to care about that and now let's go back to that. that's okay. i don't know what else the campaign can do. i don't know what messaging is left and the american people have to decide what kind country you want. donald trump is telling you what he's going to give you.

so don't think in january 2025 or 2026 or 7 that all of a sudden you're going to have, you know, a chicken in your pot because likely your behind will be sitting in a concentration camp on your way to be pushed out of the country because you said something you didn't agree with. i think we need to understand. i get exactly the point about the negative messaging and how that works, but the clarity should be we've seen this movie. we know how it ended on january 6th. so when he's sitting here telling you that the problem is from within. folks, it's not you and me. it's him. the problem is in the house, and it's not you. it's him, and so you have an opportunity on election day to rid the house of the problem. do not keep it there. do not allow it back in. project 2025 is real. so i don't know what else to say, ana, at this point because you've got three weeks and the man is -- kamala harris is tied

48% with that. with that. >> michael steele, you've made your perspective very clear. i don't think you need to say more. we know how you feel about this. thank you for joining us. victoria, thank you so much for being part of the conversation, as well. both such smart people. you can catch michael every saturday and sunday on his show "the weekend" right here on msnbc. still ahead, where are the records? vp records releasing her medical records and publicly questioning why donald trump has not released his. >> plus breaking news in the middle east. israel says hezbollah has launched projectiles into his territory. we'll take you live to tel aviv. two helps colluding safety concerns in those being hit by helene. we're back in just 90 seconds. s.

welcome back this morning. people all across the southeast are still struggling to recover from back-to-back hurricanes hilton and helene. more than 390,000 people across florida are still without power five days after hurricane milton crashed ashore causing widespread damage. look at this. the death toll is still rising. at least 24 people are now confirmed dead from hurricane milton. meantime, people all across the south are still picking up the pieces after helene which has left at least 243 people dead,

and these headlines from just the last couple of days show the trauma is far from over from "the washington post," weeks after hurricane helene many remain missing in the mountains and from the asheville citizen times, as many as 100,000 people in western north carolina don't have running water after helene. nbc's guad venegas is with us from st. petersburg, florida and nbc's kathy park from asheville, north carolina. guad, let's start with the recovery from milton. how is it going there? >> ana, you can see there is still flooding behind me. some of the neighbors in the tampa area still have flooding and these are from the rivers that come from central florida that received a lot of rain from the hurricane. that rainmaking its way to the golf flooding. over the weekend, a lot of the focus was placed on getting the power back to customers that needed and distributed gasoline. there's been a gas shortage especially in the tampa area. as of sunday afternoon, more

than 80% of gas stations in the tampa area had no gasoline. for those that have returned to homes that experienced storm surge or were damaged by tornadoes or the wind, they've been cleaning up their properties or they've been waiting for the debris to be picked up and today is supposed to be the first day when the counties are picking up a lot of that debris that they've been seeing piling up in front yards and this is the vegetation and appliances things that are piling up and need to be cleared before that can continue. there is a lot of need for neighbors, and a lot of people need to help the community and make some money and something that will be interesting as we wait for the power to be restored. especially for the a lot of the gas stations because many of them need the power in order to operate those pumps, ana. >> it's pretty wild that there is still that standing water behind you. guad venegas, thank you.

>> kathy, it's been more than two weeks now since hurricane helene hit asheville. i know the recovery is still very much ongoing and now you have misinformation disrupting recovery efforts. what's happening? >> ana, good morning. after weeks of misinformation and false reports about the federal government's response in western north killer carol, things have taken a dangerous turn. in fact, over the weekend fema officials released a statement saying they've made operational changes to protect staff, and if you look behind me, we're at a disaster recovery center, just one of four in the state, and i am told there has been a steady stream of people saking aid over last week when they opened. ? this morning, growing safety fears for government workers and supporting recovery efforts from helene. fema has advised all federal r

sponders in rther ford county, north carolina to stand down and evacuate the county immediately. saying they were out hunting fema. nbc news not seen the emails cited by the post and it's unclear whether the threat mentioned was seen as credible. north carolina republican congressman chuck edwards addressing the reported threats on msnbc. >> we had two counties with folks reported with different militia groups attacking and threatening fema. >> in a statement to nbc news, fema writing in part for the safety of our dedicated staff and disaster survivors we are helping, fema has made some operational adjustments. according to the agency, disaster recovery centers remained opened, but at least two counties said fema staff would not appear at other planned locations sunday with officials in ash county saying the agency had paused their process as a precaution as they are assessing the threats. that included a temporary halt

on accepting some aid applications. the heightened tension with fema's response to helene has been fueled in recent days by misinformation amplified in part by president trump. >> kamala has spent all of the fema money, billions of dollars on housing for illegal migrants. >> the head of fema calling those claims categorically false and promising that the agency's work will not stop. >> it doesn't deter us. we know what our mission is. >> asheville business owners like william say it's a distraction and that more help is needed. >> i want folks to know that the government is here. they're helping. i know we'd all like it to be faster, but also realizing that the devastation is just so vast and so immense that it's going to take time. >> and ana, as far as recovery efforts go in western north carolina, a priority still is to get clean running water because tens of thousands of residents

don't have access to it. fema staff are back at those locations and had to pause temporarily over the weekend and it is back to normal operations, and i spoke it a fema official and i was told fema is here to stay and not going anywhere any time soon. >> if you'd like to help those affected by hurricane milton or hurricane helene you can scan the qr code that you see on the screen. scan it right now and you will get a list of organizations providing relief, and if you need help to recover from the hurricanes you can go to disasterassistance.gov or you can call this number, 1-800-745-0243. up next, we'll take you to michigan for the latest on that hotly contested senate race. one of the most important races this election that could determine the chamber's control. plus vice president harris released her medical records this weekend. so why hasn't donald trump released his like he promised in

just because we did well in atlanta, but because there was an opportunity anywhere outside atlanta we punched above our weight. [ cheering ] so that's what this election is coming down to, if you want it bad enough, you can win it and you'll be proud of yourself for the rest of your life. and your children and grandchildren will be grateful. and if you decide you have something better to do for the next few days you'll regret it for the rest of your life. i know quite a bit about not only being president, but about the current issues and the competing candidates. >> that's right. >> and the thing as i said this

a month before when i was speaking for kamala harris at the democratic convention, people always talk about donald trump lying. they say, you know, he just makes stuff up. well, he does, you know, and i was talking to marjorie taylor green, she said when our friends in north carolina got creamed by that terrible storm helene usually hurricanes hit the coast. this one hit inside, the west, and it was terribly damaging to asheville which is pretty much a democratic city, but it also hurt these rural counties that were mostly republican and they acted like we've done something unfair. you know, because -- i knew, for

example, when i went to the east coast of north carolina in 2016 i didn't see how hillary could possibly win because i went to this national guard armory, and all of the people who had lost everything were in there and half of them had our buttons on and were enthusiastic and i but their lives were wrecked and they couldn't get themselves together to go vote and there wouldn't be an organization to do it. >> we've been listening to the former president bill clinton speaking in columbus, george a campaigning for vice president harris and he'll go to the peach state of north carolina in the next week or so to continue his campaigning for her in more rural southern states, these two key battlegrounds. also happening in the race for the white house, vice president kamala harris is slamming donald trump for not releasing his medical records after she released a summary of her health records over the weekend.

and that, her white house physician says she has some allergies, but she's in, quote, excellent health and has the physical and mental resiliency required to be president. trump told cbs news in august that he would very gladly release his medical records, but he has not done so. harris has taken a degree at him. >> he's not being transparent with the voters. check this out, he refuses to release his medical records. i've done it. every other presidential camp -- every other presidential candidate in modern era has done it. >> let's bring in nbc's garrett haake. what kind of information has he released and why hasn't he released his medical records as he said he would.

>> nothing of substance. the last time we got a complete vow of donald trump's medical condition was in 2018 when he was president of the united states. at that point dr. ronnie jackson, republican congressman, released a summary, talking about his weight and cholesterol and so forth. since he's been a candidate all we've gotten is a letter ronnie jackson, a now trump-supporting congressman from texas saying he was healthy after the first assassination attempt. from his part, trump has not given a specific reason except to give a reason of joe biden, watch me, that he's healthy enough to be out on the trail and the school yard technique, i know you are, but what am i suggesting on social media een in the last few minutes on twitter that it's kamala harris who now needs to get a cognitive test, something he used to talk about joe biden. this is consistent for trump, the lack of transparency on personal issues, remember this was the issue with his tax

returns and now we're seeing a lack of trance paernsy around medical records and obviously the harris campaign will focus on this. it is now donald trump who will be the oldest president ever if he's re-elected in his campaign and the age question resurfacing a bit in the last three weeks of his race. >> donald trump currently 78 years old. garrett haake thank you. beyond the race for the white house, 34 senate seats are on the line in november and michigan is one of a handful of toss-up races that could determine the balance of power. alyssa slotkin and mike rogers will have their final debate for that seat tonight. nbc capitol hill correspondent, julie circuit is following this race for us. you interviewed both candidate ahead of the debate tonight. what do they reveal? >> hi, ana, good morning. a pivotal crucial debate between slotkin and rogers tonight. they are tied in this race and it started as something that

leaned democrat and now a toss-up. in our extensive one-on-one interviews with both sotkin and rogers, how the war has impacted the communities here and just a couple of miles from me is dearborn, home to a very large population of arab-americans of lebanese-americans. here's how each candidate is working to appeal to those communities. watch. >> both communities feel like they're just scared of a rise in antisemitism, the rise in islamophobia, and for me, i think at this point we all know that we need to move on from this phase of the conflict. >> we have been in those communities and have had really productive conversations in both the jewish community and the arab community. the problem is again, you can't go to each community and tell them something and then do

something different. >> rogers there criticizing democrats, his opponent and the administration for saying one thing to the arab-american and jewish-american communities very prevalent in the state and doing another on policy when it comes to the middle east. he's certainly trying to eat into those margins. he talked to me about the autoworkers trying to get some of those blue-collar voters in the state that have traditionally gone for democrats and helped usher if biden when he beat president trump. alyssa sotkin telling us the private interactions with the leaders and communities on the middle east is something that has helped her. she refused to criticize the administration on this issue, but did say it helps to have open lines of communications with the areas, of course, and the uncommitted vote extremely closely watched to see if they'll turn around and vote for harris, but for the harris' parts they're treeing to appeal to moderate and number voters

coming back in this election for them. so a lot to watch for julie tsirkin. we're following breaking news and a new outbreak of violence. projectiles were fired by hez bola in lebanon. we'll tell you which hot-button issue is most important to voters in our new msnbc news poll and how it could affect the presidential race. t could affece presidential race. and ends december 7th. so call unitedhealthcare and get... coverage you can count on for your whole life ahead, with our broad range of plans... including an aarp medicare advantage plan from unitedhealthcare. it can combine your hospital and doctor coverage... with part d prescription drug coverage, and more, all in one simple plan... for a low or $0 monthly premium. unitedhealthcare offers reliable plans with benefits

in four israeli soldiers being killed and at least 60 injuries after a hezbollah drone attacked an army base in central israel. nbc news correspondent erin mclaughlan joins us in tel aviv and what do we know about the deployment of the new missile defense system the u.s. is now sending? >> yeah, ana. that defense system is called the thaad system. it's seen as big news in the region the fact that the united states is moving this defense system into israel to help protect israeli air defenses is certainly being seen as significant especially when you consider the timing. this news comes as israel continues to prepare for what it promises is a significant retaliatory strike in iran in the wake of the october 1st missile attack. earlier today i was speaking to

a former commander of israel's air defenses and i pressed him about just how long it would take for that thaad system to be moved and installed here in israel and how that could potentially impact the timing of any retaliatory strike against iran. take a listen to what he had to say. >> i believe it takes days or a week, or days or hours. >> you realize why i'm asking this. >> you are asking about the deployment of the thaad battery to the israel decision about attacking iran. i'm not sure that it's really a clear link between these two events because you assume that iran will react immediately after that israel will react. in the past it wasn't like that. >> we don't know. >> right. >> now the israeli prime minister has this policy that

israel defends itself by itself, and some analysts watching this unfold here in the region say that by allowing the system in, by asking essentially the united states for help, potentially risks projecting a show of weakness that could be perceived by israel's enemies, namely iran ahead of this potential retaliatory strike, ana. >> erin mclaughlan, thank you. please keep us posted on new developments. up next, abortion rights are on the ballot in at least ten states this november. we are live in one key battleground state, ourselves arizona on who wins the state. arizona on who wins the state. vyvgart hytrulo can improve daily abilities and reduce muscle weakness with a treatment plan that's personalized to you.

now to an issue that has bey become top, abortion. the battle grounds of arizona and nevada. in our new msnbc poll finds

abortion is the one issue that could solely determine their vote in who they vote for in this election even ahead of immigration and the cost of living. with us now the is president and ceo for reproductive rights and put in place after roe v. wade was overturned. how is this abortion question or ballot question motivating voters there in arizona? >> this measure would enshrine it into the constitution and it would expand access making abortions illegal into 23 or 24 weeks. right now it is legal with some

exceptions for medical emergencies, but no exceptions for rape or incest. this measure is poised to pass. it has 52% support compared to 33% who do not support it and 14% who say they're undecided and that means it's more popular than kamala harris in the state and her polling at 46% compared to trump at 51%. that's in line with what we've seen in other states in terms of the popularity of this poll. in other states that have had abortion measures on the ballot, and they have passed and in some cases they've given democrats a boost and what supporters say might happen here in the critical swing state and take a listen to what voters on either side of the issue had to say about that. >> i think it will draw more support for the democratic ticket because women, that's

their issue. >> time will tell and money speaks and i'm concerned how expensive things have been and just because you swap biden with harris, she's literally been right there with him this entire time so i don't see how that's much of a change. >> now that gentleman, he supports former president trump. he is not supporting this abortion measure, but he said something we've seen reflectioned in our polling, ana and heard from others that yes, kamala harris could get a boost from this issue on abortion, but that the economy and rd boer security are motivating issues for voters. in fact, republicans have put a border security measure on the ballot, as well which some say is a strategy to offset any boost kamala harris might bet from this measure being on the ballot? liz kreutz, thank you very much for bridging us that. >> i want to read what was asked, do you consider any one issue so important that you

would vote for or against a candidate solely on that basis, and again, abortion beats out immigration, beats out protecting democracy and beats out the cost of living. if abortion is such a motivating factor for voters, how do you see that translating in the presidential race? >> well, let me just start by saying how important it is and why it is that this is so high on voters' concerns. because since roe versus wade was overturned it is just a fact, a very, very disturbing, upsetting and really unacceptable fact that women in every state where abortion banned, it is dangerous to be pregnant. you know, we have already seen just the tip of the iceberg with women who have been denied emergency care when they have pregnancy complications. the tragic deaths of two women

in georgia unnecessarily because of georgia's abortion ban. and complications that they reached. so we are seeing voters. think about the work it took to get these on the ballot in ten states. that shows how motivated people are because they are seeing this in their personal lives. and that's why they worked to get it on the ballot. that's why we just saw in arizona how hard those volunteers were working to be knocking on doors and letting voters know they have the power in their hands in these states to change their state constitutions. to do what michigan did. to do what ohio voters did, which is to protect the right to abortion in their states. >> nancy, abortion right ballot measures won this every state where they appeared on the ballot in 2022 and 2023 including conservative leaning states. so red states, blue states, purple states. what would it mean if we saw a similar result this year?

do you expect to see a similar result? >> look, we are seeing some very, very strong you know, polling in these states. what i would expect if we see these results is most importantly that there will be change for the women in those states. for pregnant people in those states. i mean, arizona has a 15-week ban. florida has a six-week ban. missouri has a total ban. so what it means for women in those states right now, they have the leave the state in many circumstances and not everybody can do that. we've already seen in states like texas, the tragic results when women can't get access to care. the first important thing will be when these constitutional amendments are implemented that there will be a right to

healthcare. >> thank you so much. as we mark indigenous people's day, we have an update on navajo nation's fight for clean water more than a century in the making. n water more than in the making. you fixed it. you looked after it. maybe it's time for your home to start taking care of you. we've invested in our home, we've worked on it, we had a whole lot of equity just sitting there, you paid down the mortgage, invested in your home. i guess, you could say, your home owes you. if you're 62 or older and own your home, learn how you could access a portion of your home equity to give you cash. a reverse mortgage can put more money in your pocket by eliminating your monthly mortgage payments, paying off higher-interest credit cards, and covering medical costs. look, finance of america can show you how a reverse mortgage loan uses your built-up home equity to give you tax-free cash for almost anything you might need just eliminating the mortgage payment freed up a lot of cash for us

today marks indigenous people's day, a time to celebrate their history and culture. navajo nation is the largest native american reservation in the u.s., spanning across over 27,000 miles. but an estimated one-third of homes there lack running water. alyssa london has more on bringing this critical resource to navajo people. >> navajo leaders say the problems started more than a century ago when the colorado river compact of 1922 divided water from the colorado river between seven u.s. states and parts of mexico, but left tribal nations out. now, navajo leaders are pushing congress to guarantee clean and reliable water for thousands of

indigenous families who have been making due for generations. on navajo nation, darlene is known as the water lady. four days a week, she fills a tanker truck with 4,000 gallons of what in this parched region is considered liquid gold. then makes the rounds distributing the water to households in need. what are some of the best parts about hauling water out to various households? >> well, i love my job. because i know everybody and they're depending on me. >> reporter: navajo nation's president says an estimated one-third of homes on the reservation lack running water. it's their way of life. some have underground cisterns that attach to an indoor sink but the tanks must be frequently refilled. do you ever run out in between? >> yeah, we do. >> reporter: what do you do in that case? >> try to communicate, call them. ask them that we're out of

water. >> reporter: life in remote areas of the reservation doesn't come with all the modern amenities but a safe and steady source of water isn't a modern amenity. many say it's a right. >> whether you're republican, democrat, you care about making sure that when you live in america, you should be able to have access to clean, reliable drinking water. >> reporter: navajo nation president is working with congress on historic settlements to determine water allocation for homes and economic development on the reservation. two settlements aimed to bring urgently needed water to both sides of navajo nation. the arizona side and the new mexico side. in the proposed arizona settlement, navajo nation along with the tribes would get guaranteed water from the little colorado river basin and $5 billion for infrastructure projects. a second new mexico settlement would increase funding to bring

san juan river water to navajo nation and other communities in the northwest part of the state. right now, some of the purified water is supplied by st. bonniture mission. >> there's about 7,000 people that get water from us. >> reporter: a community leader told us some families skip the long and expensive drive and go to closer wells instead, including wells their tests show are contaminated with uranium. >> a lot of family members take the water home, boil it, then they think it's safe to cook with it. the uranium site is only two miles away and it goes into the water. >> reporter: she believes the u.s. government's demand for the toxic uranium nearly a century ago is one more reason lawmakers need to pass the water settlements and he's hoping they get congressional approval before president biden leaves office. >> president biden's been very

instrumental in indian country. hopefully he's listening, too. nothing happens without water. >> reporter: the navajo nation president says the water settlement talks are personal. he grew up hauling water and says his first indoor shower wasn't until he was a freshman in college. he says he is working so that a future generation of navajo children will have access to clean and reliable water. >> thank you. all eyes on the kennedy space center launch pad right now. we're in t minus sixish minutes. nasa and spacex will send the long awaited mission to explore jupiter's ice covered moon. this moon is thought to have an underground ocean and considered one of to most promising places to search for extraterrestrial life. the spacecraft is the largest probe ever built for a planetary science mission. again, we'll beng
