you know, just leading through injuries. we mentioned that earlier, and there are a lot of injuries in bmx and crashes and you have to pick yourself up, and in sport and in life, you fall down and always try to get back up. >> at 10-years-old the doctors told me i would never walk again, and my message to everybody was, if you can't walk, run, if you can't run, fly, and if you can't fly, swim. >> well, we will be rooting both of you on, cheering in spirit and from afar, literally. thank you both so much for coming on. good luck in the games. again, it is kameron larson and jamal hill. remember these faces and names. thank you so much. we you back at 1:00 p.m. eastern, in for chris jansing today. and up next, josé diaz-balart.

that's next. josé, take it away. ♪ ♪ good morning. 11:00 a.m. eastern. 8:00 a.m. pacific. i amjosé diaz-balart. in a few moments, a major announcement from the white house. today president biden is set to announce new actions that would protect undocumented spouses of u.s. citizens from being deported. the policy would allow them to obtain work permits on a case by case basis, and they must have lived in the u.s. as for three

years as of yesterday. and it would allow daca recipients to have work permits. joining me, monica alba and julia ainsley. what else do we know about the president's executive actions and when could families begin to apply? >> it's significant, josé, for several reasons. first of which this is the component president biden was teasing when he announced he would use the authority and executive action to temporarily shut down the border to certain asylum seekers, and he said in the weeks to come he would announce new steps to make the immigration system fairer and better overall. that's what you will hear from him later today when he speaks on this. we expect he will put this in the context of people that lived

here for a long time, and as you mentioned, those that came here and were undocumented, and married u.s. citizens and would have been married to them for more than ten years, they will have an opportunity to apply to this kind of program, and the president will speak about some of the personal stories and say these are people who worked hard and are trying to contribute to society here, and, of course, will be evaluated on a case by case basis. they will start to be able to apply for that potential green card and pathway to citizenship later this summer. it's going to take a little time for this to ramp up, and effectively this is somebody that would qualify under this would have to meet those criteria as of yesterday. today, when we are getting more details, people will estimate that that will apply to half a million people who are in the country and married to americans. that's the part that really covers more of the parole in place.

in terms of daca and the expansion for dreamers, we understand that because they will be able to apply for the work visas if they meet the work requirements, and you are going to hear president biden talk about that larger context as well. he's going to say that he still believes overall that some of the immigration system is still broken and that's why the biden administration has tried to take some steps to work on it. he's also going to make this larger political message that the white house really believes that the best way to do that and tackle it would have been to pass bipartisan border legislation, which was torpedoed by republicans earlier this year. expect him to bring that up again and to say the best way to deal with this would be to pursue something larger, but we know in the re-election year and with this congress, that's not likely. we do know, josé, this is a

political vulnerability for this president, and that's part of the backdrop as well. >> this is targeting people who have been here for ten years or more. julia, there's a patrol in place for people undocumented and there are millions of mixed immigration status families in our country. how does that 500,000 gotten to? >> look, josé, i think what a lot of people don't realize, there's a large portion of people in the country. you just mentioned the white house estimates that to be around 500,000, and yes, they are married to u.s. citizens but that did not guarantee them citizen status, and those people, if they want to claim legal status, they have to leave the country. in many cases some might go back to their home country and would have to wait up to ten years to

get back in. when you are talking about people who are married and children and who have jobs here, that's an incredibly risky thing to do. what a lot of people decided to do is to continue to live with their undocumented status inside the united states. a lot of these people are daca holders, and this executive action could give them more security. if they are able to get a green card even if this executive action is undone later on, it would be hard having to undo a green card than the daca status they have to renew every couple of years. people i have spoke to so far say they will apply as soon as they are able. if they are living from each daca renewal to the next, it will say, look, i'm here to say and to give the security to their families.

we have already seen countless challenges to any executive actions and orders from the presidency, a lot led by a legal group, my steven miller who was the immigration adviser to trump, and there are similar arguments as what we saw in daca. one way this could be harder to get around is for those who are able to get this status, it would be harder to revoke that because they are on the way to citizenship. it's all about the timing here. if this is not enjoined quickly and not able to make it through the phase they are going to put it in the federal register and open it up for applications, yes, this could be something that would not see the light of day. yeah, the courts will decide if and when there's a legal challenge, josé.

>> julia, seems like these 500,000 people are getting a streamlined process to green hard and eventual citizenship. >> yeah, they are saying they are going to review cases on a case by case bases, and uscis, the agency that oversees the applications for everybody that is trying to adjust their legal status in the united states, they are overwhelmed, especially because of the nearly 10 million migrants that crossed the border under this administration and many claiming asylum, and they have to review those applications as well, and they are slammed. it's something where a lot of these people that i talked to so far, and we will have an interview with the potential recipient in the next hour, they are hopeful. they realize this could take time and they are hoping they are eligible and can get this before a future administration can reverse it, josé.

>> thank you both so much. appreciate it. joining us now, democratic congressman, robert garcia from california, and congressman, it's always a pleasure to see you. thank you for your time. let's talk about this. few people understand navigating the broken immigration system than you, and you are one of millions of the people that had to deal with the broken immigration system. what do you see as this executive action helping? what is the impact of this? >> first, this is a historic day for not just immigrant families but for the country. thank you, president biden. this is just a momentous day. there's so many families that will be able to stay together because of this action. we're talking about half a million people in the country,

possibly more, that will be able to actually stay with their family. let's remember, a lot of folks assume if you are married to a u.s. citizen you somehow have automatic citizenship. that's not the way it works. often times these spouses have to leave the country and separate from their families to begin a process to residency. this keeps families together. it puts, again, 500,000 plus people on a pathway to citizenship. this is transformational. imagine being the child, an american citizen, and having a mom or father who is undocumented but married to your other parent and not being able to have your family together. that's the real impact this law will change. i immigrated here as a young kid. the citizenship process was incredibly hard. today is an emotional day for a lot of us for immigrants across the country and the support also

for dreamers, the ability for daca recipients, the hope it brings so many people is really great to see. this is a very, very special day. >> you know, i don't know if you can see the pictures we are putting up on screen as we speak with you, but there are pictures of you as a little kid there with your mom and then a picture years later also with your mom. you know, so much is lost when politics are mentioned. so much of the human cost and benefits are lost when we talk about this or anything else. i'm just wondering, congressman, you know, as president obama created daca, he tried to implicate deferred actions for parents of americans unlawful permanent residents before it was struck down by an appeals court and that never saw the

light of day. do you think this one has a chance to survive? >> i do. and i think that the president has taken his time and has been thoughtful and his team has been very thoughtful, and i don't know if president biden introduced an immigration package his first day in office, and he has been working to get something done through congress. we know this extreme conservative majority failed to move any sort of action for immigrants, for folks that are trying to be here and work and be part of this country. i do believe this is not just legally sound but the humane thing to do. this is the right thing to do. this is not only going to benefit these families. it will benefit our economy. it will benefit our national security, and it will benefit families across the country that just want to stay together and to contribute. i applaud the administration and i think you will see an over

well meng reaction from the latino community in support of this. i am already hearing from families and people across the country and it's very exciting. it's an important day for our community. >> it certainly is. i keep thinking back, and i mean, on this program, on this network, we have introduced people who have seen their families divided, some for over 10, 13 and 15 years because of something like this. it's one of the points of pride for me, quite frankly, that we are able to bring in these stories of men, women and children. i will tell you this, congressman, it's important that we always underline that presenting a proposal that may or may not have a chance of even being read doesn't inoculate you from action, and so this action today, i'm wondering, because it

creates so much hope and it creates so much -- you know, i bring you back to that picture of you with your mother. it creates hope for people that they can live in this country, come out from the shadows and stop fearing something as basic as family separations. this is important. i am just wondering, politics plays into everything, unfortunately. why now? why with just months before an election? why now? why not before? and action can be taken as well as presenting proposals that may have no shot at it just to say i did something. >> yeah, let's be real honest about what has happened in the last year or two.

the president had a proposal on the table and congress did not act and he put together a second proposal about border security and immigration reform and tried to move and create a more solid asylum system. republicans chose not to act. in fact, they listened to donald trump who tainted the legislation in congress and he decided to take action on his own. we are here today because the president made a promise to our community and he's living up to it. i will say one other thing. these folks that will be on their way to a pathway to citizenship will be some of the most patriotic americans in this country. they love this country. they work hard. they get up, and often times they are doing jobs nobody else wants to do. they are invested in our neighborhoods. these are good and hard-working families like myself, and i was given a shot that every kid in the country should get, to raise their right hand and pledge an allegiance to the country and

here we are today able to give back to our country. i am proud of the president today. >> it's always a pleasure to speak with you on a day like today, and maybe even more. i thank you for your time. >> thank you. joining us now with more on this is ashley, the president of families united. it's great seeing you. her husband is undocumented and came to the country from brazil 18 years ago. she will be at the white house today. thank you for being with us. i am wondering what goes through your mind, and what goes through your mind is probably what is going to be going through the mind of so many people in this country. >> well, first, thank you for having me. this is an amazing opportunity for our families right now. as far as what is going through my mind, i'm excited and nervous and optimistic, and i am going

to keep fighting. >> what do you think are the main obstacles that lie ahead for the up to 500,000 or more people that may be trying to fulfill that dream? >> well, i mean, it's a very difficult process. we want to make sure we are getting accurate information out to people. we want to make sure that this policy is as generous as possible so it really is helping the most vulnerable here. at the base of it all, we are american citizens and we've been working really hard to get our spouses recognized and legal in this country. it has been a very hard battle. the laws just don't really line up with the values of the united states. >> yeah, and you know, the

fact -- again, it's important to say over and over again that this executive action specifically deals with people who have been in the united states for ten years or more as of yesterday, and that are married to u.s. citizens. you know, it's -- ashley, i am wondering, because so much of the discussion on immigration and migration and the push and pull factors, all of that is relevant to everybody. but this is very targeted to people who have been here and who in very real ways have been vetted in so many ways. >> absolutely. just going through the marriage pathway, there's a lot of hurdles and checks that go on to make sure people are in legitimate marriages and are who they say they are. yeah, absolutely vetted.

one thing i did want to say, and i heard congressman garcia speaking before me about patriotic americans and if these folks have an opportunity, and the day my husband and i bought our house, the first thing he did was hang an american flag up. he loves america. i hope the country recognizes that and love him back. >> ashley, you know, with executive actions and with things that are monumental, there has to be a structure, an infrastructure, there has to be funding so this can be carried out and is not more than just a lovely message that may or may not take effect. what is it that you and others can do to see that an action becomes -- a deed becomes action? >> absolutely. today is about making the

announcement. the weeks ahead are about implementing it and making sure that all of these promises, this down payment is followed through and the families that are advocating and who have been in this fight for decades are going to be taken care of. you know, it's not an empty promise. i believe this administration has the true intention of following through on the work we have all been doing here. they have been absolutely wonderful, and i do believe that they are going to make this happen. >> any and all efforts start and originate from people like you, and so many people throughout our country that have passion, compassion, strict adherence to the law but want to see passion and compassion rule the day, and it's because of so many like you. thank you. >> thank you for having me. still ahead, breaking news.

south korea and soldiers at the demilitarized zone that divides south korea and north korea. this as putin visits the country for the first time in 24 years. joining us, peter baker, a correspondent, and janice mackey. what do we know about the warning shots? >> there's little information, because we have to remember the communication lines between north and south korea have been cut off. what we do know according to south korea's military, the warning shots were fired when a group of north korean soldiers, 20 or 30 of them, all heavily armed briefly crossed the military demarcation line. soldiers are saying it did not take intentional, but it's the second time in over a week it has happened. north korea has been sending troops close to the boarder area

to do construction work and plant land mines, the measures they take to keep defectors from cross into the south. there are reports that multiple north korea soldiers were killed in land mine explosions. they are not saying when this happened but officials were recognizing it as a separate incident. >> what are we expecting from putin's two-day visit? >> well, putin will meet with kim jong-un. they met nine months ago when kim travelled to eastern russia. putin's main goal is to shore up military ties and a supply line. he needs artillery shells and rockets with the war in ukraine dragging on and russia is struggling with its weapon supplies. north korea has provided russia

with support in munitions, and moscow in turn has given aid and other technologies, though both countries deny they are trying to skirt sanctions. this deepening relationship between russia and north korea is one that concerns the white house. they were saying today that they will be watching this visit very closely. ahead of it, putin declared that he thanked north korea for the support that pyongyang has shown russia in the war with ukraine. putin vowed they would beat santions together. >> thank you so much. peter, last time putin was in north korea, kim jon-

jon-ill was in power. >> one of the great powers of the world, at one point the two or three nuclear superpowers, meets north korea, tiny, and i think it tells you a lot about how much the world has changed since russia invaded ukraine. china and iran creating a new alignment in which it is isolated from the west and the countries russia used to have a lot of relationships with. >> in a regime like the north korea that has dealt from the family, the middle family estate

they control, and we have seen that there are very few of those regimes left, and there's one here just off the caribbean. that regime has been so dependent on china. i'm just wondering, is this russia, kim jong-un, that relationship with china, is that in any way being strengthened by the trip? >> yeah, i think so. what it does is undermines the u.s. efforts to ease the oppression on its own people, and pull back on its nuclear program. north korea has had a test every few years, and it was not that many years ago china and russia were part of the six-party talks with the united states, japan and south korea, and they are no

longer onboard, and north korea no longer has to feel concerned about being isolated itself from its neighbors in the west because it has the benefit of russia and chinese support. >> peter baker, always great having a conversation with you. thank you very much, my friend. right now, secretary of state, antony blinken, and jen stoltenberg are having a joint news conference. we will bring you any news that comes from this as soon as it does. first, up next, 150 million people sweltering under a heat wave, and the high temperatures could be here for a while. and a wildfire burning in the western states. you're watching josé diaz-balart on msnbc. it's never a good time for migraine, especially when i'm on camera.

deeper into the forest, and that's away from homes and infrastructure, and that's great. but the bad news is the further they push it, the harder it is to get to and the steeper the terrain, and they have to cross the lake in that area to make sure it stays contained, and the first it's out of their control, the embers can be taken as far as a mile away, and that fire can get out of control with the winds, if you get a good gust that could easily spark a new fire. the fire in new mexico is two fires. it's literally the community you mentioned sandwiched between the two fires, if they merge or manage to meet, that could be disastrous for the community

there, and there are many under evacuation orders to get everybody out of there, and right now they are monitoring the wind because that's the source of the problem. >> i am glad homes and businesses are protected, and we hope it continues that way. i am thinking of all the animals that get, you know, just when these fires go through the forest and everything like that. steve patterson, thank you so much that good to see you. up next, an update on breaking news, justin timberlake arrested in the hamptons. we have the latest. and then the surgeon general talks to us about his urgent warning about protecting kids on social media. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. ♪♪ at each day's staaart. ♪♪ ♪♪ as time went on it was easy to seeee, ♪♪ ♪♪ i'm lowering my a1c! ♪♪ jardiance works twenty-four seven in your body to flush out some sugar.

the u.s. surgeon general is calling on congress to require a warning label on all social media platforms. vivek hallegere murthy writes a warning would state social media is related to significant mental health harms for adolescence. it comes with teens spending almost five hours a day on social media according to a 2023 gallup poll. 41% of teens that use social media, their overall mental health is either poor or very poor. joining us now, u.s. surgeon

general, doctor vivek murthy. thank you for your time. i am wondering, if this warning label is enacted, how would it work? what would it looks like? >> thank you, josé. i encounter millions of parents around the country, and thousands directly in my own travels that talk to me about how much they are struggling in managing social media for their kids. this media use and mental health harms. specifically, we are seeing that adolescents who spent more than three hours a day on social media experience a doubling of risk of anxiety and depression. that's significant when we are dealing with a youth mental health crisis in american. a warning label is what we would use to inform people about the

risk, specifically kids and their parents. a warning label is one part of a broader set of solutions. last year, i called for additional steps for congress to take that actually reduce the likelihood that young people would be exposed to harmful content on social media, to put in place safety standards that would protect them from bullying and harassment and from the features that would seek to lure their developing brains into excessive use. all of these measures need to be taken together. a warning label, a digital label that would appear regularly when you use social media, that would help to inform parents and their kids about the risk. finally, keep in mind this. people wonder, do they work? we have years of experience from tobacco and alcohol labels that actually tell us, these labels are effective in increasing people's awareness and driving behavior change. they need to be accompanied by other policy measures as well.

>> doctor, one of the things i think about is, in many ways social media has changed people's brains and it's changed people's way of thinking. right? there's no need to go to original source materials anymore. you go and ask, what time was this -- there's no -- even the concept of how we think, it has changed. is that something you think we are condemned to live in? >> it's such a question because you are absolutely right that social media has changed some fundamental things aboutinterac another. think about our relationship with one another. we are having a conversation. we're not in the same room but looking at each other's faces. we recognize each other's tone of voice as well as a content of what we are saying. what social media has done for many kids is it has moved what

used to be in-person interaction, where you see someone's face and interpreting their body language, to online relationships which are often devoid of that content. i just finished a college tour where i traveled around the country to various college campuses talking to students about the mental health crisis we are in. a big part of what's driving that crisis is loneliness and isolation, which i believe are in part being fuelled by social media. so many young people said to me on that tour, they said, how are we supposed to build connection with each other when it's not the culture to talk to one another anymore? i almost thought i misheard the question the first time it was raised to me. it came again and again and again. what young people are telling us is that so much of their life is happening on social media that they are less comfortable with in-person interaction. it's not the same to have online relationships and in-person relationships. in-person relationships are richer. they tend to be much more

productive in terms of understanding, in terms of building a connection where we feel we can be open and vulnerable with one another. it's not to say there's no role for online relationships. but they should supplement, not replace our in-person interactions. >> i think about humanity, i am who i am, plus my circumstances. in your specific case, what is it that defines you? why is it that you care so much and are passionate about the things that you do? where does that come from? >> what a thoughtful question, jose. i think i'm defined by my family and by my faith and my friends. i was blessed to grow up in miami, florida, with immigrant parents who loved america, who came here because they wanted their kids to grow up in a

country that looked at people not based on the color of their skin or the sound of their name or the fact that they had an accent but on their willingness to work hard to be part of a community. my parents instilled in me the value that every life matters. they didn't just tell me that. they demonstrated that when they built a medical clinic here in miami, florida. then ultimately sought to care for people as human beings regardless of their background. that is what my faith tells me as well. that is what informs me. i will tell you in particular on this issue, it's my role as a parent that really guides me. i think there's no responsibility we hold that is more sacred than caring for our children. right now, our children are telling us they are struggling with a youth mental health crisis. we see in social media a major contributor to the struggles. i think even though i know it's a difficult issue, it's complicated. it requires congress to act. we have to pull ourselves

together and take the action that's needed to protect our kids. what could be more important than that? >> nothing. nothing. surgeon general vivek murthy, let's continue our conversation going forward. up next, jenna ellis has pleaded guilty to interfering in the 2020 election in georgia. what will she be doing just moments from now when she goes before a judge in arizona? we will tell about you it next. you are watching "jose diaz-balart reports." diaz-balar.
