danny solace is an nbc legal analyst. and malcolm nance is in and miss nbc terrorist analyst. danny, clearly we have two very different cases here. the case of the man accused of killing ahmaud arbery. the case involving call rittenhouse. different sets of facts. was the biggest difference to you when people start thinking about the rittenhouse verdict as we prepare for a verdict in the trial of ahmaud arbery's accused killers? accused ki>> no two criminal cae exactly like, just as you pointed out. in fact, these two cases are very different. in that case of arbery's killers, you have a situation where there's plenty of evidence that the defendants took themselves to the encounter and not only at the very last second they claim self-defense when arbery turns toward them. before that he's doing everything he can to run away and. that appears to be from the defendants own testimony. so, that's a very challenging case for these defendants to claim self-defense. but i think while the two cases show us is there is a lot of reach range between self-defense cases. no two are alike. t

it was from nbc. some other experts talking about the case, right, and why it seems as if this case ended the way that it did. and here's the assessment from some experts. while we can celebrate that justice was done here, if there hadn't been a video, these men probably would have gotten away with it. that was a former federal prosecutor, and then criminal defense attorney bernarda said travis mcmichael really didn't come off as credible. he knew ahmaud arbery was not armed, did not threaten him. he knew ahmaud arbery did not have anything in his pants. do you agree with their assessments, especially as we watched that video a little bit earlier as my colleague, cal perry, was speaking? the video that showed, front and center, what happened on that day. >> i do agree with both of them, particularly with bernarda villalona. i think both of those points are very strong. i think that ultimately, what we have to do is realize in these situations where there is a video, when we do have situations that vid

our affiliate here in new york, as well as nbc. and what we are hearing from them, is consistent potentially with what you are intimating a little bit earlier. and i will just read from it and then get your response. what we are finding is forcing your law enforcement officials, telling nbc news, one person is in police custody. they are being questioning following it incident. this is stuff we have been reporting. on separately, for senior law enforcement officials telling nbc news at this preliminary stage in the investigation, they are looking into whether or not the vehicle and its occupants were fleeing another crime. and let's go straight to the press conference, it's just starting. >> -- the schools will be close tomorrow. we are requesting that everyone to stay away from the, scene and that the roads are being closed, for at least 24 hours. we live in the area where roads are closed, and you need access to your homes for pets or medication you can park in lot 12. where the farmer market is held. when you have to show proper

with me now, nbc news's white house correspondent, mike memoli, and nbc news capitol hill correspondent, ali vitali. thank you both for being with me. mike, what's the message that the president is hoping to send with today's signing ceremony? >> jose, we've been talking about it. this is a president that needs badly a political victory and when the house finally passed this, it was late on a friday night. ali was up working the hill at the time. today is the moment where the white house is really finally going to get a chance to celebrate this moment. and the president will use this big bill signing event on the south lawn to really send two messages. first, about a promise kept to voters that he was going to finally deliver on infrastructure. we've been talking so long about the needs that this country has and the president will highlight the billions of dollars that's going to be going to roads, to bridges, to expanded broadband, to replacing lead water pipes. we're also going to hear the president talking about another promise that he is going to keep true to. which he said in the c

nbc news correspondent rahema ellis is in new jersey. and larry sabato, the director of the university of virginia's center for politics. thank you for being with me. steve, let's start with you. what's the latest from new jersey? >> here we go. all eyes are on the garden state right now. you see phil murphy, the democratic incumbent. he leads here by just under 6,000 votes, 0.2 of 1% over jack ciattarelli, his republican opponent. look, the bad news for murphy is this was a state that obviously joe biden, as you say, won in a landslide. it's a state that republicans really struggled to be competitive in. and nobody thought this race was even going to be place. i think the suspense both democrats and republicans talking to in the last week felt, hey, is this maybe going to be a single-digit race? well, it's a lot more than a single-digit race. that's the bad news for murphy. the good news for murphy the vote, it seems to be coming in. the remaining vote that's out there, we're still seeing big batches or significant batches specifically

here with that and much more, nbc jacob ward. jacob, good morning. how is the pacific northwest doing after that storm system? >> good morning, jose. this storm system that began on friday is now in theory over, the floodwaters are receding, but officials are still worried as they have to release pressure inside reservoirs that have, of course, filled up during the storm. this drone video that you see over bellingham, washington, just outside of seattle, is, of course just one of the many incredible images that we've been seeing from there. i'm actually from washington state, jose. i grew up with rain. we're used to that, but this is nothing like that. this is the kind of atmospheric river that scientists say carry incredible amounts of water out from the ocean and dump it once it hits landfall. and unfortunately, in a warmer climate, the atmosphere can hold more moisture. and that's why you've seen small towns like sumas, washington, in which hundreds of people had to be evacuated, roughly 75% of the homes in that one town on the canadian border hav

i want to bring in nbc news senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake, nbc news justice correspondent pete williams, nbc news national security and intelligence correspondent ken delanian, white house bureau chief ashleigh parker and form u.s. attorney and senior fbi official chuck rosenberg. great to see all of you on this day before thanksgiving. so garrett, i guess we've got about 50 subpoenas that have gone out so far. now the committee wants to hear from groups that were involved in storming the capitol. where do things go from here? >> well, we've seen subpoenas go after the leadership, the organizers, the financeers and the people behind the stop the steal movement, the rally on the ellipse and so forth. the latest batch is for the foot soldiers, the organizations that provided, we believe, some of the most violent members of the mob who were here at the riot on the capitol. the oathkeepers, the proud boys, another group called first amendment pretorium. these will be more granular part of the investigation by the committee. we've seen a lot of what has been going out from the

nbc news has reached out to the st. louis metro and county police departments along with the kansas city police department. we're still awaiting a response. >>> coming up, a win for the biden administration as the bipartisan infrastructure bill will soon be law. >>> but what about the rest of his build back better agenda? we'll talk about that, next. s ba we'll talk about that, next. >>> plus, first lady jill biden and the u.s. surgeon general are kicking off a nationwide campaign to encourage parents to vaccinate their young children against covid. we'll talk to a doctor about what parents need to know ahead. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. a diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. hi, my name is cherrie. i'm 76 and i live on the oregon coast. my husband, sam, we've been married 53 years. we love to walk on the beach. i have two daughters and then two granddaughters. i noticed that memories were not there like they were when i was much younger. since taking prevagen, my memory has gotten better and it's lik

nbc's steven romo. thank you. >>> stow in the skies. stunning new video shows a 26-year-old man from guatemala who stowed away in an aircraft's landing gear bay during a flight that lasted more than two hours. the man you see here sitting on the tarmac was found alive shortly after the american airlines 737 landed at miami international airplane. a spokesperson for u.s. customs and border protection said in a statement, the individual was evaluated by emergency medical services and take tony a hospital for medical assessment. persons are taking extreme risks when they try to conceal themselves in confined spaces such as an aircraft. nbc's ryan nelson hit and run has more. >> reporter: videos show the 26-year-old man sitting on the ground as airport workers try to give him water. the man surviving the trip, a flight of about two and a half hours. he was taken to jackson memorial hospital. this attorney says he may be facing an expedited order of removal. >> at that point, if he's, in fact, a person who is trying to flee persecution and w

sources telling nbc news the internal blame game is real. city lawmakers reeling, pushing for something concrete to take home to voters with developments coming in on that social safety net package floating around the house, which just got put back into that bill and whether that makes it easier or harder to pass. we are here juggling a lot of pieces of news on this afternoon. i'm hallie jackson in washington along with our nbc news team, msnbc national political correspondent steve kornacki as mentioned, posted up at the big board. political editor mark murray is here with the key take aways, what this means politically going forward for democrats. new reaction from both sides of pennsylvania avenue, lyanne caldwell is on capitol hill looks like in a basement. monica alba is at the white house. we just learned we expect to hear from president biden himself, possibly within the next 40 minutes or so, right? >> reporter: yeah, this is notable, hallie, because just 24 hours ago the president was the one who was trying to strike very optimistic

she's now an nbc news analyst. pete, let's start with the argument that this law would lead to a deluge of lawsuits just as sotomayor asked a question about this, and we can play it thanks to the new rules here. >> you believe that the way this sb-8 is structured that what the chilling effect is the very multiplicity of lawsuits that are threatened against you? >> yes, your honor. that's exactly right. it is the fact -- there's a combination of various ways that this state has created special roles, applicable only to sb-8 to make state courts a tool that can be used to nullify constitutional rights that have been recognized by this court. >> so much of this seemed to be about the ways in which this law could be applied elsewhere. the structure of it. i think for people who were tuning in and hearing the supreme court arguments for the first time, myself among them, dealing with the ways this could be applied elsewhere, walk me through what we heard there and what we understand from the argument? >> i'd say bottom

nbc news foreign correspondent, rav

let's go now to nbc's julie tsirkin from capitol hill. what kind of warning does this send to others? >> reporter: the committee hopes this will send a serious warning to other witnesses subpoenaed. steve bannon yesterday was indicted on two counts related to his defiance of the congressional subpoena, one, for not appearing for his deposition and the other for not producing those documents that were requested. each of those, by the way, carry up to a year behind bars and up to $100,000 in fines. let's turn now, though, to mark meadows. this is the next target of the committee who hasn't been cooperating with the panel whatsoever. he failed to produce documents this week and also didn't show up for a scheduled deposition yesterday as you mentioned. he was the former president's chief of staff, of course, and was there in the white house on january 6th, so the committee has a big reason that they want to hear from him. now, members on the panel spoke out yesterday after bannon's indictment came through. take a listen to what adam kinzinger

joining me from outside the courtroom is nbc news correspondent gabe gutierrez, also joining me is nbc news legal analyst maya wily. thank you for being with me. gabe, the judge admonished the prosecutor yesterday. what's everyone watching for today? >> reporter: it was quite a sight. i've seen judges be stern with prosecutors or defense attorneys before. this was in front of all the cameras. out of the view of the jury, the jury was outside the room at the time but he lashed out at prosecutors, one prosecutor over his line of questioning and also a very emotional testimony from kyle rittenhouse. what we're looking at today the defense as you mentioned expected to call several more witnesses, they indicated they had at least three remaining, one use of force expert, also talk about the time line of events and other eyewitness on the ground at the shootings that night and an expert on shell casings to address some things the prosecution brought up during its case. now, again, several more witnesses late yesterday the judge indicated we could expect closing arguments early next week but

nbc news correspondent morgan chesky has the latest from houston. >> reporter: from packed concert to pandemonium, the fba now joining a massive investigation into how travis scott's astroworld concert turned deadly. the youngest, just 14 years old. all caught in a sea of nearly 50,000 fans pushing toward scott. >> you couldn't breathe. i'm talking about everybody was so crushed up on you. >> reporter: the crowd surge so crushing witnesses say it knocked fans unconscious before being trampled. >> everyone was pushed to the front. you had no room to walk. >> reporter: some so desperate they climbed onto the stage shouting for help. >> we need some help. somebody passed out right here. >> reporter: despite several pauses, authorities worked to shut the show down for 45 minutes before it ended, scott and others criticized for not stopping sooner. crews rushed 25 people to hospitals. at the scene, hundreds overwhelmed medical staff. some fans even appearing to dance on top of rescue vehicles. houston police chief said he met with scott and others before taking the stage to share concerns

nbc news correspondent stephanie stanton is in brunswick, georgia. and correspondent liz mclaughlin is in kenosha, wisconsin. stephanie, we're going to start with you. what do we know about the timeline for the end of this trial? >> reporter: good morning, kendis. we understand that closing arguments are set to begin tomorrow. and depending on how that all plays out, the jury could get this case in their hands as early as tomorrow afternoon. last week, we saw some pretty dramatic testimony here at the courthouse in georgia by travis mcmichael. he of course, is one of those three defendants on trial for murder. during his testimony, he was attempting to explain why he was following ahmaud arbery. he along with his father, greg, and another man, william brian, following ahmaud arbery, because they believe that he was responsible for at least one burglary in their neighborhood. but upon, when they came upon him, mcmichael claimed that he ended up opening fire in self-defense. well, during some pretty intense cross-examination, the prosecutor was able to

joining us here on set, nbc legal analyst danny cevallos. let's start with that case, the arbery case. tensions have been really high. this is a trial that's been watched around the nation, especially coming on the heels of the rittenhouse case. what do you expect from developments today? >> closing arguments, the defense is the underdog in that they have to make the case somehow that even after they got in their cars, their trucks, they chased ahmaud arbery. they had plenty of chances to turn off their pursuit. they still have to make the argument somehow to convince this jury they were acting in self-defense. it's a tough sell for the defense. look for the prosecution to hammer this home. all the opportunities these defendants had to change their mind and do something else, anything else. >> remind the viewers of the specific charges the men face. >> they face homicide murder charges. these are the most serious kinds of charges. and they are asserting self-defense, which is an affirmative defense where you say, in addition there are these

nbc's scott cohn for us. it's great to see you. tell us what california is doing. >> reporter: it's a big change in messaging in just the last few day. as we were going through this and the boosters were starting to come online and we got the initial guidance from the feds, the idea was that a booster might be a good thing to do. well, now they're saying, first of all, to providers if anybody comes in asking for a booster whether they meet the guidelines or not go ahead and give it to them. and they're telling the public you really should go ahead and get that booster shot, that it's every bit as important as your original vaccination. and as you can see at this vaccination site in santa clara county, in san jose, they are seeing some steady traffic. a lot of this is families with young children who are now eligible for shots but also people coming in to get their boosters or to get their initial vaccinations. and here's what they're up against even in california which has posted some of the best covid numbers in the nation over th

let's go right to nbc's julie tsirkin on capitol hill who's following this for us. these days it's kind of rare that we see public apologies like this. what exactly did lauren boebert say? >> reporter: i'll tell you, it's even more rare when we see a public apology from an ally of former president trump, and that that's certainly what congresswoman lauren boebert, a republican from colorado is. she's part of the so-called maga squad in the house, and she apologized on friday after some intense backlash she received over comments she made over the thanksgiving holiday in which she was captured on video describing a moment in a joking manner, in which she was in an elevator with congresswoman ilhan omar. she's, of course, muslim, and she's a democrat from minnesota, and she said in that video, well, she doesn't have a backpack, we should be fine, implying that the minnesota democrat was a suicide bomber. she apologized, like i mentioned. you just saw that tweet on your screen. she issued an apology to, quote, anyone in the muslim community i offended with my comment a

joining me from the white house my nbc news colleague mike memoli. mike, what went into this decision on the strategic petroleum reserve and how much is about looking like you're trying to control gas prices versus able to provide real relief on the short hand? >> reporter: exactly the right question. certainly a short-term political aspect but a broader geopolitical aspect of the white house decision here. short term is they're going back to sort of the playbook they employed in the early days of this administration, borrowing the fda mantra action and action now 378 want to be caught trying to do anything so that this public perception of this white house as maybe not doing enough to tackle inflation, economic concerns americans are dealing with are sort of put to rest, and interesting in the white house's press release this morning when they announced this move, they actually claimed that the, simply the discussion that had leaked early that they were considering this option working in concert with some of our allies and other major energy consume
