The Trump administration is moving to deploy the National Guard to Portland and Chicago, igniting a high-stakes legal showdown over state sovereignty and the limits of presidential power. NBC News Senior Homeland Security Correspondent Julia Ainsley joins host Morgan Chesky to break down what’s at stake. And there’s renewed hope for an end to the war in Gaza. Officials from the Trump administration, Israel and Hamas are meeting in Egypt to finalize what could be a historic peace deal. The timing is striking, coming on the eve of Oct. 7, two years after Hamas launched its brutal terror attack that killed 1,200 people and saw another 250  kidnapped. In Gaza, many Palestinians are desperate for an end to the Israeli bombardment that has killed more than 67,000 people, most of them women and children, according to the Health Ministry. NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel reports from kibbutz Be’eri, one of the hardest-hit communities, where attackers murdered 102 people and took several hostages.
