you on this second hour of "chris jansing reports." at this hour, is another gag order in store for donald trump? he's made claims about the fbi and a plot to assassinate him with absolutely nothing to back it up. why the special counsel says that has put agents' lives in danger. also ahead, the biden campaign's all hands on deck approach to debate week. hundreds of events, watch parties and new advertising. we've got all the details. plus the violent clashes outside a synagogue in los angeles. punches thrown, people wrestled to the ground and kicked as duel war protests get out of control. how that all unfolded. the dangerous unrelenting heat, nearly 50 million americans baking as temperature records are shattered across the u.s. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments. we begin with msnbc legal correspondent lisa ruben ahead of that critical hearing in trump's classified documents case. prosecutors cite threats to the fbi for their reason for a gag order request. break it all down for us. >> reporter: chris, this all started with donald trump discovering that with the mar-a-lago search the fbi attached a standard policy that it has regarding the use of deadly force. it used that policy also in doing searches of president biden's residence in wilmington, delaware. the former president decided that that policy meant that the fbi not only was authorized to use deadly force if necessary but intended to, and intended to kill him, and said as much publicly. that's when the special counsel went to judge a lean can said statements like that need to be stopped and modify his bail conditions so he can't say things that pose an imminent, significant and foreseeable threat to law enforcement involved in this investigation. as proof that things like that could happen, they pointed to something that has happened, the case of ricky schiffer. he's a man who threatened to attack and tried to attack an fbi facility in cincinnati, ohio, three days after the initial mar-a-lago search. today they are going to point to ricky schiffer's truth social post where he says, kill the fbi on sight. that was just a day before he tried to attack the fbi office in cincinnati. >> lisa ruben, thank you. with just three days to go before the presidential debate, the biden campaign is gearing up for 1,600 events in the leadup to the face-off with trump. monica alvarez is in washington with us. what do we know about the president's debate week strategy? >> reporter: they're trying to make this a week-long event instead of just the major prime time evening where they know there will be a lot of eyeballs on that match-up. they want to try to engage some of these voters that maybe haven't totally tuned in yet to the 2024 race and cycle. the biden campaign is trying to argue this is the moment when that will really kick into high gear. that's why they're going to be hosting hundreds of watch parties around the debate, they'll be hosting hundreds of events in battleground states leading up to it. that's also why you see them really pour millions of dollars they've been fund-raising for into these new ads you're seeing not just on television, during big events, but also digitally. that blitz is meant to coincide with this major event on thursday. in terms of how the president is really preparing, he's been at camp david now for several days with his close aides. they are huddling and deciding really some of the best strategic decisions here. we got a little insight from one of the campaign manager advisers, former mayor mitch landrieu, who spoke to specifically the donald trump aspect to all of this. listen. >> it really doesn't matter how donald trump shows up. if he comes in unhinged like he is most of the time or he sits there and is quiet, people are going to know he's a twice impeached, convicted felon who's found to have defamed somebody, sexually abused someone. >> the trick for the president is, of course, trying to balance a couple of things in short bite-sized answers. that's what they're working on. they're going topic by topic on what they expect will come up. as you saw from mayor landrieu, they do expect there to be a personal clash and for there to be attacks lobbed back and forth between these two men that touch on some of these major other issues we've seen throughout the cycle, where we could see president biden talking about former president trump's criminal and guilty conviction, where you could see president biden bring up specifically what we've been talking about a lot today, which is former president trump likes to take credit for the fall of roe, there will be those really specific barbs president biden is expected to be ready with, but then there's also always the unknown and unscripted moment and they're trying to prepare for some of that, too, at least as best as you can. chris? >> monica alba, thank you. let's go to the dangerous heat wave that has been affecting millions of people. nbc's george solis is in philadelphia. a 136-year-old temperature record was just broken. i hope your feet are actually in that water behind you because it seems like it's too hot to stand outside. tell us how it's going on there. how are people coping? >> reporter: hey, chris, that was a record that a lot of us were hoping we wouldn't break. it was broken yesterday. what a difference a day makes. today a little bit more seasonable. there's actually a breeze. i don't know if you can tell that's actually making it quite nice as the fountains spray me from behind. my back is soaking, which is quite nice when you talk about the last several days of that oppressive heat that's been in the 90s-plus, not to mention the feels-like temperature, definitely in the triple digits. we've been monitoring surfaces. i can tell you just looking 95 degrees yesterday around this time. this was about 130 degrees. really puts things into perspective. nevertheless, people are still taking those precautions because, again, it is still taking us time to acclimate to this heat. drinking lots of water, wearing the loose fit clothing, finding the shade. a caught up with a gentleman out here who sums it up best. listen. >> the weather is just perfect. great day. >> reporter: you didn't say that over the weekend? >> over the weekend it was scorching, pretty much dangerous. we had a winter storm in 1996. you remember that? you probably weren't born. >> reporter: i was born. of course, something this good is not meant to last. those temperatureses are expected to rebound right back into that dangerous 90 to 94 range by the middle of the week. so, of course, we can take what we can get today. mr. softy making a quick buck selling ice cream, and it will continue that way. this summer it is hitting hard, hitting fast and no signs it is going to yield any time soon, chris. >> george solis, thank you for braving the temperatures for us. in 90 seconds, vice president kamala harris pointing the finger at donald trump as she marks two years since the fall of roe v. wade. >> in the case of the stealing of reproductive freedom, from the women of america, donald trump is guilty. indigestion iberogast bloating iberogast thanks to a unique combination of herbs, iberogast helps relieve six digestive symptoms to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast. smile! you found it. the feeling of finding psoriasis can't filter out the real you. so go ahead, live unfiltered with the one and only sotyktu, a once-daily pill for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, and the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding you're so ready for your close-up. or finding you don't have to hide your skin just your background. once-daily sotyktu was proven better, getting more people clearer skin than the leading pill. don't take if you're allergic to sotyktu; serious reactions can occur. sotyktu can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections, cancers including lymphoma, muscle problems, and changes in certain labs have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection, liver or kidney problems, high triglycerides, or had a vaccine or plan to. sotyktu is a tyk2 inhibitor. tyk2 is part of the jak family. it's not known if sotyktu has the same risks as jak inhibitors. find what plaque psoriasis has been hiding. there's only one sotyktu, so ask for it by name. so clearly you. sotyktu. arthritis pain?

>> right. clearly they believe that she going to the state of arizona and articulating the message on reproductive rights is going to be critical in the november election. we saw this as an issue in the 2022 midterm elections when democrat katie hobbs won the governor's race over kari lake in the state of arizona. this time around there will be a ballot measure in which arizonans will be able to go and vote on making a statute that abortion rights are protected in the state of arizona. kamala harris is going to not only make the political one but the one about the policy and the direct impact that air voters can have when they go to the ballot box. that's why you is seen the biden campaign be intentional about sending the vice president out to deliver that message. >> mike, donald trump is talking about it, too. i want to play for you a little bit of what he said this weekend about abortion. >> and i believe in exceptions for the life of the mother, rape and incest. some people do. i think most people do, actually. but some people don't. you have to go with your heart. but you also have to remember, you have to get elected. >> you have to get elected, mike. that's a pragmatic message now from donald trump. he's been all over the place previously on abortion over the years, but polling suggests that's more likely, right, to resonate with those middle of the road voters. tell me what you're hearing in this debate over abortion. >> absolutely. that's a great question. trump's position on abortion is like trying to nail jello to the wall, historically. when you look at arizona, majority of arizonans believe abortion should be legal. we tested this a ton over the last two, three years. we polled arizona more than anyone else in the country. essentially we've seen that the dems are hammering this issue and trump is also trying to make his way into this position because he cares about one thing, most of all, and that's winning. you've seen him kind of move on this issue. but it's a smart move because, frankly, to be pro life is a minority position and that's probably a very nice way to put it. >> beyond the presidency, how much could abortion impact the races in the states, including the senate race where republican kari lake has had to clarify her stance on abortion? >> i think lake is someone that comes across as more of a true believer on abortion than trump does. some polling we recently did at the political report showed trump winning in the state of arizona, but ruben won the race. and i think it has to do with kari lake and the campaign she's running. we saw across the board, not just in arizona, but that voters were picking senate democratic candidates on the issue of abortion more than it was factoring into their vote for president. a lot of voters still don't believe, as you saw where president trump was talking there, that he's emphasizing exceptions, you look at sort of his wobbly positions on the issue before he ran for office and different things that i think you look at lake's past comments on abortion and the stances she took when she ran for governor, and i think this absolutely is a liability for her as a candidate, among other things. she is such a well-defined candidate after her run for governor, and not in a good way. the voters have very strong opinions of her, for or against. this is a race that i think has slipped down republican pick of opportunities, so absolutely in the mix. when i look at the overall senate map, you know, the national and public senatorial committee has come in with ads but we haven't seen the major super pacs reserve money as they have in other races. >> that's interesting. vaughn, tell us about where we are with efforts to get abortion on the ballot, abortion itself in arizona? >> there will be a little more than 300,000 signatures required to get that measure on the ballot. they have exceeded that at this point in terms of the signatures they'll be turning into the secretary of state's office to look at -- they're aiming at 700,000, 800,000 to ensure the fact it will, in fact, be on the ballot in november. and jessica and mike know this so well, this is where donald trump and kari lake get in this quagmire when you say, we'll send it back to the states. when the states make a decision to put something on the ballot, these individuals have a hard time directly answering that because kari lake has staked out maybe the 15-week ban abortion is more important, but she has to answer the question of whether she'll vote in november as well for the measure to codify abortion protection across the board in the state of arizona. donald trump when he campaigns in arizona, he'll be facing the same questions he'll be facing in his home state of florida, whether he's going to vote to codify abortion protections in the state of florida. saying it's a state's right only gets you so far for these republican politicians. >> right. if you're a true believer, i mean, mike you have to accept the reality that abortion access has won whenever it's been on the ballot. is there any reason to believe it would be different in arizona? >> no. you look at places like indiana or much redder states than arizona, especially georgia where the gop had a pretty coordinated effort to slide in where they thought 18 or 16-week ban would be a sweet spot with voters. at the end of the day, voters didn't care when you put pro life or pro choice, pro choice wins out. it's pretty much a losing issue for republicans. you can't see them run away fast enough from this issue. and it's a position where democrats are incredibly comfortable and they have their messaging dialed in compared to the gop. they're not only going through a bit of a reorganization period right now, there's really no top-down command. you're seeing all these different positions and they can't get on the same page when it comes to this. they try to change it and run away from this issue as fast as possible. >> jessica, you follow senate races probably closer than anybody. where are you watching, other than arizona, where you think abortion could have an impact on the senate race? >> one interesting places there could be a ballot measure in montana. this is the most vulnerable senate seat up where jon tester's seat up. every place we have seen it on the ballot, as mike mentioned, in kansas and ohio, it has gone that way and florida, nevada as well. it looks like that will be on the ballot in nevada, another key state that is crucial to deciding the senate majority. >> jessica taylor, vaughn hillyard, mike noble, great conversation. let's go to los angeles where the mayor says the violence that erupted between pro-palestinian and pro-israel protesters outside a synagogue on sunday was abhorrent. david noriega is in los angeles. what exactly happened? >> reporter: the reason there was a protest at the synagogue in the first place is because they protesting the event promoting real estate in israel. it was organized by a group in the past that has promoted property listing inside israeli settlements in the west bank. that's what protesters objected to. there are fairs hosted in synagogues. for example, in march there was one in new jersey and new york, which led to one event being canceled. yesterday things got violent. there was a group of protesters and a group of counterprotesters. the lapd said there were several physical altercations between the two groups. two official reports of battery stemming from the incident, but the los angeles police department is investigating. they made one arrest of a protester they said had what they described as a spiked pole, possibly a flagpole. that person was taken to the station, arrested and released with a ticket. the response from elected officials, both locally and at the state and national levels has been pretty unanimously condemning the initial protest as anti-semitic. we've seen tweets from governor newsom, and schiff. they are criticizing the protest taking place outside of a synagogue. the president tweeted, saying intimidating jewish congregates are anti-semitic and unconscionable. >> thank you. did donald trump just give us a preview of one of his big attack lines for the debate? >> maybe i should save it for the debate. plus, the former president drops a clue when it comes to his pick for vice president. keep it right there. ght there. type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. ♪ ♪ i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. i'm lowering my risk. adults lost up to 14 pounds. i lost some weight. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking ozempic® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. living with type 2 diabetes?
