Islamaphobia. To all of you hurting, i want you to know i see you, you belong, and i want to say this to you, youre all american. Youre all american. You are all americans. That is part of President Bidens address to the nation from the Oval Office Last night. The president also called on all americans as well as congress to continue to support ukraine and israel in the vastly different wars each is fighting. Meanwhile, theres somehow even more republican led chaos on capitol hill. A third vote is now scheduled this morning on jim jordans bid to lead the lower chamber, and this comes as the temporary speaker is now threatening to resign. Well go through all of that just ahead, and were going to get expert legal analysis on the surprise guilty plea for one of the many defendants in the Georgia Election interference case. Good morning and welcome to Way Too Early on this friday, october 20th. Its friday. We made it. Im jonathan lemire. Thanks for starting your day with us, and well begin this morning a busy one with the president s Rare Oval Office address. Last night in prime time President Joe Biden urged americans to support both israel and ukraine in the respective wars that theyre fighting. The president also announced plans to ask congress as soon as today for 105 billion in Military Assistance for both countries explaining that it is critical to our own national security. I know these conflicts can seem far away. Its natural to ask why does this matter to america, so let me share with you why making sure israel and ukraine succeed is vital for Americas National security. You know, history has taught us when terrorists dont pay a price for their terror, when dictators dont pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction. They keep going. And the cost and the threats to america and the world keep rising. And if we walk away and let putin erase ukraines independence, would be aggressors Around The World would be emboldeneded to try the same. The risk of chaos could spread in other parts of the world. In the indopacific, in the middle east, especially in the middle east. Iran is supporting russia and ukraine, and its supporting hamas and other Terrorist Groups in the region and will continue to hold them accountable i might add. President biden also addressed the recent rise in antisemitism and hate incidents both here in the United States and Around The World. Take a listen. When i was in israel yesterday, i said that when america experienced the hell of 9 11 we felt enraged as well. While we sought and got justice, we made mistakes. So i cautioned the government of israel not to be blinded by rage. And here in america let us not forget who we are. We reject all forms all forms of hate whether against muslims, jews or anyone. Thats what great nations do, and we are a great nation. Well have more on the president s speech later in the show. Were also learning more this morning about the Hospital Blast in gaza city on tuesday. The Palestinian Health ministry has now revised its reported death toll from over 500 death to just over 470. But in an unclassified assessment drafted yesterday, u. S. Officials said they believe the explosion more likely killed between 100 and 300 people. They add that the explosion was likely caused by an errant rocket or missile launched caused out by the Palestinian Islamic jihad. The officials did not share what intelligence led to their own estimated death toll, but they note it still reflects a staggering loss of life. This all follows the Terrorist Incursion into israel nearly two weeks ago resulting in the deaths of hundreds. In the time since israel has leveled the buildings in gaza as part of its stated goal to target Hamas Terrorists ahead of a potential ground invasion, and it might happen very soon. Israels Economy Minister told nbc news yesterday israel has the green light to begin the operation. Meanwhile the United Nations has called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the conflict to break an Aid Truck Bottleneck at the rafah crossing in egypt, which provides access to into gaza from the south. Trucks have lined up for the past day after israel said it would allow humanitarian aid by way of egypt, but those trucks have yet to be let in as israel and egypt reportedly disagree on logistics. The New York Times reports it includes how to institute aid convoys, how to fuel, and how to screen for arms. Yesterday at a News Conference the u. N. Secretarygeneral pointed out civilians there have gone without food, water, medicine, or fuel for nearly two weeks. President biden said opening a corridor was a key part of his trip to the region and nothing has happened yet. Joining us now from tel aviv, israel, nbc News Senior National Correspondent Jay Gray. Good to see you. Lets talk about the pending groundivation. We know its been approaching. Clear signs yet, but it could be a matter of days. Whats the latest there when we think itll begin . Yeah, jonathan, i think the biggest question in the region right now is will humanitarian tanks or aid trucks make it into gaza first. Right now neither is moving, but it does seem that Ground Assault is getting much closer. We heard from israels Defense Minister Yesterday and im quoting here you saw gaza from afar, soon youll see it from inside. Hes telling that to troops amassed along the border with gaza and preparing to move in. We heard from Israeli Defense forces today they say the pace of attacks in gaza right now from the air is something theyve not seen in decades. Hundreds of strikes overnight into the day here today, and forces on the ground they say are preparing for that next phase. What we have heard reported in the region is that government has now given the okay for the Ground Assault and it is now up to the military to decide when to go in. So its going to be something that is its been pending. Weve been talking about this for days, jonathan. It seems like the intensity is changing as far as thats concerned. Nbc News Senior National Correspondent Jay Gray live for us from tel aviv. Thank you, be safe. Well have much more on the situation in israel later in the show. But right now we turn to a major domestic headline. One of former president Donald Trumps staunchest allies made a surprise guilty plea in the Georgia Election interference case. Sidney powell, who was a member of trumps legal team in his quest to overturn the 2020 election, pleaded guilty yesterday morning to six Misdemeanor Counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference in the performance of election duties. These charges mostly relate to powells part in breaching Voting Equipment in a Rural Georgia County in january of 2021. As part of the plea deal she was ntced to six years of probation and will have to pay 6,000 in fines and nearly 3,000 in restitution to the state of georgia. Powell will also have to turn over all documents related to the ce and write an apology to the stes citizens. Powell has also agreed to testify against the remaining codefendants in the case including trump himself as well as his former lawyer, rudy giuliani. Now, powells sentence is significantly less severe than what she could have faced if found guilty during a trial, which was set to begin next week. Powell, who youll recall, appeared in News Conferences spread massive election information and deemed herself the kraken was a frequent white house visitor after the 2020 election. She dealt directly with trump and giuliani, and trump at one point considering naming her as Special Counsel to investigate alleged voter fraud. Joining us now former u. S. Attorney and an msnbc contributor, our friend barbara mcquade. Barbara, lets talk about the deal itself first. What do you make of it . Were you surprised . And what do you think of its terms . Reporter i was surprised only because Sidney Powell has been such a vocal supporter of donald trump and such a vehement denier of these charges. But so often this is something you see on the eve of trial. That is the moment when the defendant really needs to make that decision, and so its not unusual to see plea deals that come on the eve of trial. The terms of this are really quite lenient for her. No prison time. Six years of probation is a long time, but based on what she could have faced, up to 20 years for the rico conviction, it is in many ways a sweetheart deal. But the government is getting something very substantial in exchange. Not only do they not have to go through all of the burden and risk of taking her to trial, but they get what is really valuable here. That is an early cooperator. Just as we saw scott hall get a similar kind of deal a few weeks ago when he entered a guilty plea, now we see this one. And why this matters so much for prosecutors is they often use the analogy of dominos. So the scott hall plea deal which had some Cooperation Requir there likely helped secure the powell deal. Now that theyve got the powell deal, that could very likely secure the guilty plea of others. So barbara, lets talk a little more about that cooperation. I mean she was there. She was on the inside of so much of this. What do you think this means for others in this case particularly donald trump . Reporter i think this is something that should be very concerning to all of them because not only is she involved in some of the things she was charge would which is tampering with Voting Machines in coffee county, but she was in those rooms where these conversations were occurring about strategy, for example that december 18, 2020, meeting in the oval office really significant moment in the case. As you mention thats where they discussed using the military to seize Voting Machines, appointing her to be Special Counsel, and it was after that meeting which got quite heated according to the testimony of some of the people who testified at the january 6th hearings, it was after that very late at night that donald trump sent that tweet about come to washington on january 6th, will be wild. So whatever happened in that room is really fascinating, and Sidney Powell was there and can talk about it. Such a Big Development here. Were going to have much more about it throughout it morning. Thank you for starting us off, former u. S. Attorney and msnbc contributor barbara mcquade, well be speaking to you again down the road soon. Reporter still ahead here on Way Too Early, well give you an update on the u. S. Army private, remember him, who fled to north korea. Hes now facing very serious charges back at home.

Welcome back as we turn to some of the mornings other top headlines, democratic senator Laphonza Butler announced yesterday shell not seek a full senate term in 2024, opening the California Senate race for an array of eager candidates. In an interview with the New York Times, butler said she realized her Senate Position is, quote, not the greatest use of her voice and that she intends to be a champion of california until the end of her term. She is the second black woman and first openly lgbtq senator to represent the nations largest state. Butler was appointed by California Governor Gavin Newsom earlier this month after the death of long time senator diane feinstein. Meanwhile, a u. S. Army private who fled to north korea is now facing multiple charges including desertion, child pornography, and the assault of fellow soldiers. Travis king has been held in an american jail since he was brought back to the u. S. Last month. He was arrested while deployed to south korea and then fled to the northern side of the border shortly after being released from a Detention Center back in july. North korea announced it would expel king last month allowing him to board a flight back to texas. Its not clear why pyeongyang made that decision. In a statement kings mother said she was concerned about her sons Mental Health and that he should be presumed innocent while awaiting legal proceedings. And disgraced conspiracy theorist alex jones may claim hes bankrupt, but that wont stop him from having to pay the families he maligned by spreading lies about the Sandy Hook School shooting. A federal judge has ruled that jones will not be allowed to use his chapter 11 filing to avoid paying more than 1. 1 billion of verdicts of those killed in that horrible 2012 shooting. Jones was successfully sued for defamation after spreading lies that the School Massacre was a hoax. As the New York Times reports, jones will likely be working for the rest of his life to pay his debt to those families. To that we all say, good luck.
