If it's Wednesday, the latest bombshell less than two weeks to go, as Donald Trump's

former White House Chief of Staff, General John Kelly, goes on the record in a

rare interview calling Mr. Trump the definition of a

fascist. Plus newly unsealed intelligence revealing the potential for Russia and

Iran to incite violence in the US following the election as federal and

local officials braced for the potential for turmoil and unrest on election day

and beyond. And Secretary of State Anthony Blinken urges Israel to end the war in Gaza as Israeli

strikes pound Lebanon, killing Hezbollah's likely next leader. Welcome to Meet the Press Now, I'm Kristen Welker in Washington just 13 days out from the

election if you can believe it and with early voting underway across much of the

country we are tracking the fallout from a stunning on the record

condemnation of former President Donald Trump by his longest serving White House

Chief of Staff, retired four-star General John Kelly.

Kelly telling the New York Times in a recorded interview

that he was deeply troubled by Mr. Trump's comments

about using the military against his domestic political rivals

and that in his view Donald Trump meets the

definition of a fascist.

Looking at the definition of fascism, it's a far-right authoritarian, ultra-nationalist political ideology and movement characterized

by a pictorial leader, centralized hypocrisy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social

hierarchy.

So certainly in my experience those are the times things that you use

work with work better in terms of running America.
