Im yasmin this again. We start this afternoon with the latest on what is going on in israel. The first trucks carrying humanitarian aid finally getting through to gaza. The situation is deteriorating by the hour. Its not only theres not enough people, not enough beds in hospitals. Not enough ventilators. This is absolute carnage. All of this absolute carnage with the specter of a Ground Invasion looming over residents, with Israeli Military leaders saying they are good to go. At any moment. Two americans held hostage by hamas now free and ready for a reunion with their families. We are gonna take you to their hometown as well for reaction. We are also following a pair of other very big stories, the house still without a speaker, after jim jordans effort to grab the gavel goes down in flames, ill speak to democratic congressman, raja crist knew murthy about whether democrats can make a deal to save the spa speakership. Two of Donald TrumpsGeorgia CodefendantPleading Guilty in stunning succession. Today, a word of caution for the dea, from the lawyer for one of them. If mr. Chesebro was the architect of the fake elector scheme, if mr. Chesebro was the architect of some plan to bring down democracy, which is what ive heard over and over the last couple of months, both in court and out of court. With the district attorney, fulton county, have offered Him Probation And First Offender Status . I think the answer is no. I think if you asked her, the answer would be no. So, what does all mean for the former president . Im gonna speak to msnbc legal analyst, joyce vance coming up as well. We begin with a sliver of long relief in gaza. A convoy of 20 trucks crossing the border from egypt with food, water, medicine, no fuel though. Although critical, the aid is being called just a drop in the bucket, as the Gaza Health Ministry says those trucks carrying just 3 of what is needed on a daily basis. The red cross and the World Health Organization calling for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, israeli airstrikes continuing, as gaza is bracing for a full ground innovation. With the idea now seeing plans to, quote, expand operational activities, have in fact been approved. Right now, live pictures from tel aviv, where a large demonstration is being held in support of those kidnapped and being held by hamas, more than 200 people continue to be held in gaza. I want to bring in now, if we can, nbcs josh lederman. Joining me now from ashdod israel. Thank you for joining us on this. I appreciate. Lets talk about that convoy, entering through the rafah border. Those trucks, specifically. How long will it take to get to the individuals that need it most . Will they be getting more . Well, the hope is they will be getting more, yasmin. As far as how long it will take to get to them, its gonna be very complicated task to distribute this aid through the gaza strip, where the roads have been badly damaged. Where you have Hundreds Of Thousands of people who fled their homes, many of them are sleeping in the streets. Many of the hospitals now closed, but the supplies are so badly needed, they include things like antibiotics, trauma kits, badly needed medications and hygiene kits. As well as 22,000 amounts of water that people need there. That is only enough water for each person to have for one day. That is really raising concerns about how insufficient these supplies are. We heard at a World Peace Summit being held in cairo today, from the u. N. Secretary general, who is on the ground to oversee the resumption of this aid, he talked about what he saw. Take a look. On one hand, i saw hundreds of trucks teaming with food and other essential supplies. On the other hand, we know that just across the border, there are 2 Million People without water, food, fuel, electricity, and medicine. Children, mothers, the elderly, the sick. Food trucks on one side. Empty stomachs on the other. Now, Palestinian Health officials are saying that what crossed the border today is only 3 , yasmin, of what would normally cross into the gaza strip on any given day prior to this war. That is why the red cross in new comments tonight, they are calling for this aid to be moved into the gaza strip on a continual basis. They say what happened today is a good start. It is not going to cut it. They want to see a continual program to get aid in their. They also want to see the Israeli Government halt its airstrikes, some more humanitarian assistance can flow in. All right, continual basis, talk to me about what we know as to how long that border is gonna remain open to get these muchneeded supplies to the palestinians on the ground there. What more we know about this impending Ground Invasion from the israelis . There has been no announcement about whether aid will be able to flow over tomorrow, or the day after, yasmin. The hope is that it will. Now theres a program, a system in place, to do this kind of work. Right now, there are no promises. Thats going to happen. And its certainly going to become much harder if israel does launch that Ground Invasion, which all signs from the Israeli Government are, they still intend to. Israels military just today saying, they are making preparations to significantly expand what theyve been doing in the gaza strip. Including ground operations, these really government also releasing video today that they say shows an Infantry Brigade practicing for a Ground Invasion. So, the clear signal, israel is trying to send is that humanitarian aid or not, this Ground Invasion is coming. He has been . Josh lederman for us, thank, you josh. Appreciate it. New today, the white house has just released a video of President Biden speaking to Judith And Natalie raanan, the two american hostages released after being held at the hands of hamas for 14 grueling days. Judith raanan. Hey, judith. Hello, President Biden. Im so glad your home. Not home, but im glad youre out. Thank you so very, very much. Net, how are you . God love you. I just want to thank you for your service for israel. Look, thats been long serving. Im just able wherever to get you out. Were gonna get them all out. God willing. Certainly an emotional moment for both Judith And Natalie, for their family as well, for our own Martin Fletcher as well. They are a member of martins family. Nbcs Jesse Kirk Is Standing by for. Seven still in illinois where the family is hoping for a reunion soon. If you will. Jesse, talk to me about how the community there, is reacting. What were hearing from the family as well, ahead of their arrival . Yeah, so, yasmin, just remarkable story, of course. In particular, the timing of this. Natalie is 17 years old. Her father speaking out last night, saying he will finally be able to sleep as this ordeal is ramping up. He also said that tuesday, october 24th, is her 18th birthday. Hes hoping that he will be reunited with her soon. You just imagine the timing of this to be unfolding as it did. Natalie and her mother judith, were in Southern Israel in a kibbutz, visiting family on a kibbutz. They were seen, they were there for the 85th birthday for natalies grandmother. Then they were taken captive by hamas. Now, they are now safely back in israel, were told, as you just showed, they spoke with President Biden. We also heard from natalies father yesterday, he says he spoke with a president as well. Heres part of what he shared. Ive been waiting for this moment for a long time. Two weeks. I havent been sleeping for two weeks. Tonight im gonna sleep good. I spoke with my daughter earlier today, she sounds very good. She looks very good. She was very happy. And shes waiting to come home. Im gonna hug her and kiss her and its gonna be the best day of my life. I can only imagine how emotional that really will be. We dont know the timing of that yet. One expert told our team, he suspects the Israeli Security team from shabbat, their security forces, their Security Service will want to be speaking with his mother and daughter about what they experienced, the intelligence they can gather from that. Because, of course, were still talking about dozens of people being held hostage within gaza, and the understanding from what our team has learned, its not just Hamas Holding hostages, there are other groups that may have them as well. To further complicate that efforts to get one home, he has been . Yeah, im certain the two of them have to go through a major deep reef as you said to help with intelligence there. With more than 200 hostages still held in gaza. Jesse kirk for us, thank you. Ahead in the next hour, and speak with a woman including three Young Children are still being held by hamas as well. You dont want to miss that conversation, that story, every person being held right now in gaza, incredibly important talk about. Coming up in just 60 seconds, can the u. S. House act on aid for israel . Without a speaker. New names being thrown out in the leadership battle. Congressman roger krishnamoorthi joins me next. Hey little bear bear. Im gonna love you forever cmon, bear. You dont. You dont have to worry. Be by your side. Ill be there. With my arms wrapped around. All right, welcome back. Republicans now plunged further into chaos and disarray this weekend, after jim jordan failed for a third time to win the speakership this week. Republicans are now saying they are going to hold a new speaker candidate from monday, followed by a vote on tuesday. And several new republicans say they will, or are, considering running for the seat. Their party still seems to lack a cohesive way forward, leaving the chamber at a stencil with aid to israel and ukraine hanging in the balance. Now, it is raja krishnamoorthi, democratic congressman to illinois, here to talk about. This thanks for joining us. I want to talk a little bit about about israel in a moment. First, lets talk about the fight for speaker. In the house. And republicans really are in disarray here. 17 days now, the house has been without a speaker. Has it come time for moderate republicans to turn to democrats to help with a solution . Absolutely. Hakeem jeffries, our leader, has repeatedly reached out to moderate republicans and said look, lets find a way to create a bipartisan coalition, a unity coalition, if you will, to sideline extremists and make sure we can govern for the interests of the country. Unfortunately, a lot of these moderates are scared of maga world at this point, but i think they need to, you know, take us up on our offer and do whats best for the country right now. So, i know that trump is actually now being reported by politico. He is against a front runner currently for speakership. House majority whip, tom emmer. This is what politico is saying. Former President Donald Trump privately complained allies on friday he does not back House Majority whip tell members before speaker, throwing a wrench into an already chaotic process to find the next person to hold the gavel. I know theres about ten other names that are being thrown around as well, byron donalds, austin scott, jack bergman, roger williams, just to name a few. Is there anything here you think could actually get across the finish line . Honestly, i dont know. I think thats the problem is they have decided thats working with democrats is somehow traitorous within their caucus, but the other alternative, which is to try to get unanimous, a virtually unanimous support from the caucus for any one candidates, has proven nearly impossible. So, you can imagine that maybe one of those people among the ten that you showed a moment ago could win a secret ballot. Maybe a majority of the caucus actually designated, just like jim jordan had that title last week. But then, once they go to the floor, they cant get the rest of the caucus to join them. Thats happening repeatedly. Right. When you throw the Monkey Wrench of trump into the mix, he can easily block people as well. Aside from, of course, this looming once again government shut down, i believe, come november 17th, again, i will mention, 17 days without a speaker, president linking aid to both ukraine and israel. The house cant get anything across the finish line without a speaker in place. How is anything at this point going to get done . We cant get that legislation, or really any legislation, thunder thunder speaker. The current speaker doesnt have the power to preside over the passage of any legislation. All he can do is preside over the election of the next speaker. You know, potentially, another avenue is to make the current speaker a temporary speaker for a certain number of days and give him the power to preside over this crucial legislation. Whats even then, thats as run into opposition within the caucus. But, as you know, we have to fund ukraine aid, israel, aid, we have to help taiwan with regard to their defense needs, and of, course theres some Border Security and humanitarian needs among the gaza strip, among other places we have to fund. And right now, we are kind of in a situation of chaos, where were not able to address these pressing issues. Congressman, i want to read for folks a little bit of the piece you wrote for msnbc, an Opinion Piece about the former president. The title of the priests kind of centered all. Trump just reminded the world why hes a walki National Security risk. You write this, trump decided to speak was a good time to score in israel to, quote, step up its game. He referred to israels Defense Minister as a quote unquote jerk for putting hezbollah, which he called very smart, unnoticed, should not attack israel, despite the fact that all Israeli Citizens are required to serve in the military for 2 to 3 years, trump claimed israel quote, wasnt rented militarily to protect itself from hamas, and hezbollah. Talk a little bit more about this, if you will, congressman. I think, once again, you know this, yasmin. Trump appears to the world to be a fickle friend and they terrible ally. And just in this particular instance, because of this personal grievance against maybe netanyahu for calling joe biden do you wish him congratulations on winning the presidency, he has a grudge against netanyahu and his government. So, that is why he keeps so much scorn on him. Then, couple that with his calling hezbollah a very smart and saying israel was not militarily ready, you know, it basically says all the wrong messages to our friends and allies, and adversaries around the world. So, our adversaries, it looks like we are weak, and divided. Then, to our allies, basically, they are not going to go all in on their partnerships with us, because they fear that people like trump could really push them away, and hang them out to dry. , so this is why even though Donald Trumps name is going to be on the ballot next year, probably in the general election, so its National Security. Congressman raja krishnamoorthi, thank you, sir. Appreciate it.
