And fills at the Burning Man Festival after heavy rains caused chaos. Police investigating at least one death. All of that, plus a subject close to my heart, literally, next hour. Im using my personal battle with it is east to educate our viewers. And im not alone. We have to be able to pivot. You have to be able to do the exact same things that you tell your athletes to do, you tell your kids to do if something is not right, then you have to act. And i had to act. She had to act, as we all. The legendary Hall Of Fame Basketball dawn staley, and another fellow survivor carroll divine, join me with two top medical experts in the field, for a special. You do not want to miss it. It could save your life. That is our next hour, ahead. We want to begin, at the, with the former president , donald trump, said to be arraigned wednesday along with 18 codefendants in georgias election interference case, even without most of them being there. Trump and 11 other defendants have waived their right to appear, and already entered pleas of not guilty. In southern georgia, trump is going to be spending his wednesday in miami, sitting for a deposition as part of his 500 Million Dollar lawsuit against former attorney michael cohen. Trump claiming cohens spread false oath and violated Attorney Client privilege. Nbc news justice reporter and author of Seditious Hunter Ryan Reilly joins me now. How january 6th broke the justice system, the book is coming out next month. By the way, who knew, congratulations to you. I cannot wait to get my hands on this thing, and i also have you on to talk more about that book. Lets talk about the news, though, even though the former president will not be in georgia, what are we watching for coming out of this arraignment this week . Ming out of this how many defe gonna actually end up showing up, i think that is still an open question. Some people could ultimately await their appearances. But i think overall in this case, whats going to be interesting is figure out how exactly this is all gonna go forward in terms of which the defendants are going to go to trial sooner because there is this effort by the prosecutors to try to bring all of these cases together, to try them all at once. But i think it is probably more of a long shot because defendants of course have a right to prepare how they need to for trial. And even though some of them stepped on the gas and said, hey, lets get this done quickly, i want a speedy trial. Others like trump really delay is the tactic for them here. They want to kick this can down the road as far as they possibly can. Of course, with trump, the federal cases, its a bit different. If he kicks they cant far enough down the road, then he wins in 2024, he can just get rid of these cases altogether, either by pardoning himself or pardoning people who were just kill these cases for him in the doj. But, you know, these cases are still going to continue ongoing, even if he cant be held at trial. Theyre still going to be lingering over him, you know, through the duration of his presidency here. So i think when these cases come forward, its going to be an important thing, because its also going to be a chance for trumps team to look at the evidence they have in one of these other cases involving his codefendants, that he could just take a look at that to get a preview for them to see, see what they are facing down the road. Talk more about that, because i think this strategy, the trump team, its not surprising, interesting to say the least, the fact that they want to sever, right . You have a lot of folks, sydney powell being one of them, and chesebro, obviously as well, wanting this speedy trial, right . And then it seems as if on the former president s team, his attorney is sitting back, wanting to watch this play out to help build their defense. Yes, its really fascinating in all of these cases because the Defense Strategy is so intertwined with the political strategy here. In fact, the political strategy really is the Defense Strategy. Theyre going to put up Pressure Points outside the normal realm of how defendants would handle these cases. You know, obviously, a plea deal is not really on the table for donald trump, and that is something that he would be willing to sever, although im sure that prosecutors would be potentially open for that, that just seems outside the realm of possibility for him. This is going to proceed, i think, in the sort of slow fashion. Thats what they are trying to do in the federal case involving jack smith here in d. C. They really wanted to extend that as far as possible. They suggested 2026, which the judge really left off, not as a serious suggestion. And ultimately, they got this trial date early next year. So that should be something that people keep an eye on. Thats the big one for him on the docket right now. I think you said at one point, three and a half years to build a defense, but obviously theyre not going to be getting that. Let me just ask you about one final piece of reporting on the number two man, Trumps Campaign in New Hampshire, caught on video outside the capitol, on january six, telling Police Officers to, quote, go hang yourselves. What do we know about him, and any response here from the campaign . Yeah, the campaign is pretty quiet about it thus far. But this was a video that was surfaced by Online Sleuths who have been investigating a lot of these issues. This isnt someone whos going to get a trial. Theres no evidence that he stepped inside the cop itll. But he was going for the cameras and making this into an event. He was sort of dressed up there in a unique outfit and was yelling at the cameras at one point. And this was actually on a relative Facebook Live stream that he made these comments. And you have to note, there are a number of officers who served dante, who did but die by suicide thereafter including one, Jeffrey Smith smith whose death was declared to be in the line of duty because it was directly related to what happened on 16, including getting hit and head by a Flying Object flown around, like what has been done on the capitol that day. Thank you, ryan. Appreciate it. Again, congratulations on that book. I want to turn now to florida, everybody, where president ial politics have included into the aftermath of hurricane idalia. President biden visiting a town, live oak, on saturday. Live pictures im gonna show you. He was joined by florida senator rick scott and met with a number of local officials there and victims of the storm as well as surveying the damage overall. Governor desantis meanwhile issuing this lastminute announcement to the biden team that he would not be attending. And then, he spent the day in the town of horseshoe beach, in a separate visit to the hurricane site. A short time ago, he held another Hurricane Press conference, but he did not acknowledge President Bidens trip. I want to bring in nbc News White House correspondent on capitol hill have got Someone Reaction for us from the white house. Monica, what are you hearing . Yes, yasmin, just, earlier the president was in florida, he was asked directly to weigh in on the fact that Governor Desantis did not meet with him there while he was on the ground. And he said, look, im not disappointed. Desantis knew about my visit. We informed him. We talked about it together. He was involved in where i was going to be coming to survey damage. And then, he kind of moved on and actually praised the governor, and said that he had been working quite well alongside the president throughout this hurricane aftermath, and that they felt florida at this point had everything they needed. And he promised that if there was more the federal government would do, that he would be there for that. And then, he kind of quickly pivoted to that republican senator, rick scott, who was there on the ground, and who really also did praise the president , and was quite something the white house took note of, and certainly appreciated. So this was kind of a strange back and forth because President Biden thought he was going to be meeting with Governor Desantis because that was the case last year when he went down in the aftermath of hurricane. But of course, the big difference, it was a year ago, and run desantis has not declared as a president ial candidate back then, of course, now directly in competition with President Biden should he become the nominee. So, this is something where the white house said they tried to do everything right, that if Governor Desantis had this different decisionmaking, so be it. They wanted to focus certainly on the people there on the ground. That was their number one priority. But of course, you have to acknowledge the politics in all of this and Governor Desantiss team, maybe thinking back to super storm sandy, and of course, that reelection with former president obama, and then governor chris christie, and that embrace, that photograph that really said a lot, and said something that was quite lasting in that campaign. There are things like that that always might be taken into consideration. But the white house was clear yesterday, it was not a day for politics. They wanted to really set that aside so they could focus on helping the people who are not going to need so much help on the road to recovery after that storm. One note here, monica and i did not call each other about what colors we were wearing today. So [laughter] i love it. Looking good, monica, thank you. Appreciate it, my friend.

As of this morning, there has been one reported death, which is under investigation in that zone the, remain closed. Nbcs liz kreutz is following the story for us from l. A. Liz, good to talk to. You give us a sense of whats happening on the ground there, what we know . Hey, yasmin, as you mentioned, we have learned that one person died at the height of this storm on friday. We dont know the circumstances or the cause of this death, but it comes amid all the chaos unfolding at burning man right now, Tens Of Thousands of people remain trapped. Theres a shelter in place that organizers have put into effect and no cars, except for Emergency Vehicles are allowed in and out. I just spoke to a friend of mine whos still there, she is trapped like all the thousands of other burners, confined to their one camp. She says its just so hard because of this month to move anyone. Theyre not allowed to move from camp to camp. She said it could be days until theyre able to get out. Actually, my own cousin, it turns out, happened to be there. And he was one of the lucky ones that was able to make an escape out before the shelter in place. But he still had a pretty crazy ordeal getting out. He said on friday, they were on a bus on their way out of camp. They got stuck in the mud. And he was among 50 people on that bus that had to stay and sleep on it overnight. Saturday morning, they woke up and decided to just make the trek to the nearest road. They hiked through the mud, two miles, and then hitchhiked from that road to reno. Quite the ordeal. Heres what he had to say. It is still pouring. It is deeply soaking the fire. And its going to take hours, if not days to dry. That is when it started, so theres other stuff, so like this is pretty bad, like, abnormally bad. Yeah, and more rain is on the way, we are expecting more rain in just the next few hours. A flood watches in effect for the next monday. And we are told that sanitation is a concern right now. It is unclear how organizers are going to be able to empty the parties on regular basis.

The former president now hold a 46 point edge over ron desantis. That is up from trumps 24 Point Lead Back in april. Some of his rivals hitting the morning shows in hopes of getting the American People are not going to vote for a convicted criminal. The American People are gonna vote for someone who could win a general election. I have faith in the American People. They know what they need to do. What ive said is clear. If hes the nominee of all supported. Pardon him and that will help you know the country. I dont have a problem with the fact, i met him a couple years ago, hes a good man, good family man. Hes wrong on foreign policy. Lets bring on political contributor matthew dowd. Lets bring up the Polling Numbers as we take a look at who we just heard from, nikki haley 8 , ramaswamy 5 , and pence at 2 , donald trump, matthew, at 59 . Quite a lead, quite a runway that hes gained the last few weeks as hes built up these indictments, hes built up support. What was your reaction and seeing these numbers come out . You and i have had this conversation before. At this point in time that no republican whos had the lead donald trump has has ever lost the nomination for the presidency in the course of this. He maintains the dominant position it seems to be increasing. The second thing thats interesting about the numbers is all of the rise of the more minor candidates like vivek, nikki haley, the slight rise theyve had hasnt come at these expense of donald trump. Its come at the expense of desantis. Trump sits at a plateau. And if there is more than two candidates in this field that its very, very difficult to beat him. Hence the leak of the guidance that we heard of from the Desantis Camp ahead of that and michelle debate which was go after ramaswamy when youre
