>> reporter: maybe someday she'll know about that uncontainable woman who while she stayed brought joy. marie. >> reporter: that's all for this edition of "dateline." i'll natalie morales. thanks for watching. good morning, everyone. i'm alex witt at msnbc headquarters. breaking news. we have these new pictures of damage after a tornado strikes oklahoma. that's a state already reeling from severe flooding. >> we're going to learn in great detail that george papadopoulos had nothing to do with russia. >> the cart before the horse? some new questions about what the attorney general will find on his new mission. on the road and praising kim jong-un while blasting a u.s. judge. and they're calling it the

trump cup. the story behind this picture from the president's trip to japan. again, breaking news this morning. a deadly tornado has ripped through el reno, oklahoma. you're about to see what's left behind. the drone video shows the destructive path of that twister, leaving debris everywhere. part of a hotel collapsed and mobile homes. recovery crews will determine the extent of the destruction with sunlight. emergency teams are looking for survivors. dozens have been taken to area hospitals and at least two have been killed. el reno's mayor has asked for prayers. >> el reno has suffered in the last couple of weeks significant flooding. we've gone over the largest tornado on record, i hear. our first responders are experienced, they're qualified. our community is very resilient

to this. we're asking you to pray for us and pray for the first responders for all the help with what they're going through. it's a very traumatic event. what they're going through is very traumatic. pray for us here. the main thing is that we stay together. el reno is very strong. we're a very strong, vibrant community that depend on each other. >> a tornado warning was issued just minutes before that twister striked giving people somewhat of a chance to get to a safe place. this is how nbc afillant nbc 4 covered the breaking story. >> i shot that roughly 15 minutes ago, mike. it's just off to the backside of the dealerships here on the immediate northwest corner of i-40 and highway 81. if you're familiar with the rick jones and diffy dealerships. it's to the north and west of there. the hotel is immediately north of the dealerships here.

you can tell by the damage path that that debris was lofted and pulled to the north and east. as i was watching it on radar, that's the exact path this thing took. i've driven north of 66 here just east of 81. that's exactly the direction it was going. >> rerack it there again, control room. mark, stay with us here. we're going to point out your drone video is really very telling here. take it about 15 minutes ago. there's this cluster here of dense debris. it's in the middle of all these other trailers that's in the middle of this trailer park. the debris is pulled to the northeast from the point of impact, but i have to point out, all the flurry of activity, what looks to be somewhere in the neighborhood of give or take about ten search and rescue workers that are literally working this pile of debris

piece by piece. again, this was 15 minutes ago. >> that is extraordinary. the national guard is also on the scene. they're assisting in rescue and recovery efforts. we'll continue monitoring all the developments there and bring you more pictures as daybreak arrives. also new today, president trump kicking off the first full day of a state visit to japan, playing diplomacy both on the golf course and on twitter. nbc's hallie jackson is following the president for us in tokyo. with another good evening. you're evening, we're early morning here. what's the latest there that early evening? >> so far this trip to tokyo for president trump, alex, has been all smiles except for on twitter. that's where the president is saving his tough talk. the trip began, the day began with the president tweeting about north korea. undercutting his national security adviser by talking about what he described as small weapons, referencing north korea's recent missile tests and saying they disturbed a lot of people, some others in his orbit

but not the president himself. that appears to be a pretty clear reference to john bolton, the national security adviser who just yesterday told reporters here in tokyo, according to several outlets, that that missile test violated united nations security council resolution. the president undermining, it seems, his national security adviser on that front. keep in mind that his japanese hosts here, japanese leaders, are very concerned about those missile tests so that may be a point of contention when these two leaders sit down for formal talks tomorrow. we know north korea will be on the agenda. we know trade will be on the agenda as well and there's news on that front as well. president trump acknowledging he really doesn't have expectations for a trade deal with japan until after those parliamentary elections later on this summer in july. you'll remember, alex, that's something we talked about yesterday. the idea that shinzo abe, the prime minister here, needed to get through his own domestic issues before dealing with this international trade issue so it seems president trump is able to

give and wants to give the prime minister, his friend after all, some breathing room on that front. other than that, it's been a lot of smiles, big grinz on the golf course. there was that selfie between shinzo abe and president trump that was tweeted out y. you saw the prime minister of japan taking that selfie and then the sumo match. and then president trump delivering that big trophy, 60 pounds, to the winner of that match. hoisting it up, watched the match very closely along with first lady. and then this just wrapped up, these two leaders having dinner at a hibachi style restaurant not too far from where we're standing in tokyo. sumo diplomacy, dinner diplomacy, golf diplomacy. and at dinner the president talked about what his expectations are for that bilateral discussion with shinzo abe tomorrow. >> thanks very much. we've had a great time.

a great stay. tomorrow is really the main event, very important event in the history of japan. it's over 200 years since something like this has happened. it's a great opportunity to represent the united states. and the prime minister and i talked a lot today about trade and military and various other things. i think we had a very productive day. tomorrow likewise will be a very productive day. i want to thank you for a very great evening at sumo. >> reporter: and the president went on to say that he's always wanted to see a sumo match and now he has. at the top of his remarks there, alex, you heard the president talking about this once in a lifetime event. he's referencing, of course, when he and the first lady will meet the new emperor and empress tomorrow at the imperial palace at tokyo. beautiful grounds, a beautiful palace. it's going to be extremely ceremonial. a lot of pomp and circumstance. we know that this is going to be the centerpiece of the

president's trip. it's, after all, why he came here. he'll be the first foreign leader to meet the new emperor since he took the throne earlier this month. as for the bilateral talks with shinzo abe, this is going to be the second time in three months the two will come face to face. they meet again in six weeks at the g-20 summit in japan. we won't be coming to you from tokyo but osaka. >> appears to be a very friendly relationship from the two. the other big headlines, president trump's financial records from deutsche bank and capital one will not have to be turned over, at least for now. the president's lawyers reaching an agreement with the house intelligence and financial services committee. the president's attorney jay sekulow, in return the attorneys have agreed to an expa decided appeal, after a judge refused to block the subpoenas earlier this week. the white house doubling

down not to work with democrats until all their investigations end. >> this is an effort by the democrats. it's like the russia collusion witch hunt hoax 2.0. first of all, they accuse the president of colluding of a foreign power, of treason with no proof and now say he's involved in a cover-up with no proof. not one journalist has said, madame speaker, where's the evidence? if you have all this evidence, let's get this thing going? >> democrats pushing for a special counsel robert mueller to agree to testify in public. california representative telling him yesterday just how crucial that is for the country. >> nearly two years of investigation, extraordinarily important moment in our nation's history. he cannot hide. we cannot allow him to hide. he must testify publicly. he needs to look right into that camera and tell the american people what he found. it cannot be any other way.

we have to push back. if he wants to be in private, i'm sorry, mr. mueller. >> president trump now slamming the federal judge who blocked construction on parts of his southern border wall. the president tweeting, this is a rug against border security and in favor of crime, drug and human trafficking. we're asking for an expedited appeal. joining me now to join jonathan allen, national political reporter with nbc news. with my thanks for you both joining me here early on a sunday morning. latisha, you first here, we heard from representative telling me mueller's testimony has to be in public, not behind closed doors. how crucial do you think his testimony is as democrats push forward with all these investigations? >> robert mueller has stated he doesn't want to get involved in the political spectacle of washington. but the problem is when you've released a document that was

as -- that received as much attention as his report did, that's kind of going against what you've done in the first place. moreover, barr has spoken before congress in his public life 50 times so he doesn't really have a reason to not speak in front of the house judiciary committee. furthermore, it kind of also pushes the narrative that president trump and barr have that this investigation, probe into russian collusion is a democratic scheme and witch hunt all out to get trump. barr not testifying reiterates trump's point that perhaps democrats don't have much of a leg to stand on and perhaps mueller himself doesn't really believe in his findings in the report in the first place. >> we'll see about that, jonathan. he wants to avoid the public spectacle but there's an interesting article in the washington monthly that says not testifying publicly is also an

intensely political decision. do you agree with that? >> absolutely, alex. there's no position robert mueller can take at this point that won't be viewed through a political lens. i think it's smart for him to telegraph through the judiciary committee, through jerry nadler that he doesn't want to testify publicly. if he's going to do that, that it's going to be done with reluctance because if he does end up becoming a key witness in this investigation, if he does end up producing testimony that is damaging to the president or even if he produces testimony that isn't damaging to the president, better for him to have come out and said, i didn't really want to do this and be part of a public spectacle rather than have the opposition that looked like he wanted to be part of a public spectacle. there's even some politics on what he's doing even on a personal level. >> latisha, what happens if mueller ends up not testifying in public? what can the democrats do?

>> yes. what the democrats can do is what they've been doing since trump took office and reconvene. they've been trying to attack trump in different ways. the issue is with mueller not testifying, there is no actual proven fact that, perhaps, trump did -- that perhaps trump did, sorry, go against or collude with russians, then democrats have to wonder what their next strategy is going to be. this is not just about mueller, it's also about what are they going to do heading into 2020. right now speaker pelosi has said she's not interested in pursuing impeachment and democrats have a higher goal and that's retaking office. >> let's move, guys, to bill barr's investigation of the russia investigation. senate judiciary chairman lindsey graham who's discussing what he expects to be the results from all this. take a listen to him. >> in terms of the counterintelligence investigation, you're going to

learn in great detail that papadopoulos had nothing to do with the russians but they went on anyway. you'll find out carter page is not james bond and the dossier is a bunch of garbage and they knew it was a bunch of garbage and did nothing to verify it and the system was warned multiple times, don't trust christopher steele and they went ahead anyway. >> hang on,on th jonathan. doesn't that seem like a conclusion? why continue with an investigation if the doj task is only to prove what libdcy graham said? >> it's interesting. we have a lot of people who have become judge and jury and executioner on all of this. not only senator graham but you saw donald trump the other way and over the course of the last several months pronounce several americans are guilty of treason. after doing that, he's ordered his justice to start an investigation into those people. asked his intelligence community

to cooperate with that investigation. we're seeing right now the reverse of what you would normal expect from considered careful, nonpartisan process, which is you investigate and then come to your conclusion. >> a reminder the definition of treason does not apply here with what the president is trying to put forth. the president ordered the intelligence agencies to help the doj accelerate this investigation but at the same time is blocking congress from doing theirs. seems like a double standard is at play. >> what you're seeing with trump and lindsey graham is pretty much what they have been doing for a while, which is controlling the narrative. you're casting doubt. what papadopoulos and lindsey graham saying that, perhaps you're not going to find anything, that's casting doubt on the very agencies that are set up to create these checks and balances and also provide truth to the american public. as of now that we've seen with

this president, truth is subjective. >> what about your latest article, jonathan, that the president is wielding powers not seen in the united states in generations, if ever. explain that. how is that and what about it is repercussions from doing that? >> a lot of what we've been talking about here, alex, when we talk bl the juxtaposition of two things, number one, him basically some people guilty and directing the justice department and the intelligence agencies, the full force of the federal government, to investigate people he believes are his political enemies, he will cast them as democrats, liberals or whatnot, but in this case you're talking about jim comey, a life-long republican, served george w. bush. he identifies political adversaries and has the full force of the government going after them. at the same time, as you have h

blocking congress, blocking any investigation of him trying to control this narrative. these are things that are done, as one of the people that i quoted in that piece said, by petty dictators in other countries, this use of the government as a tool for their own personal benefit. >> i'd say pretty dangerous precedent, that's for sure. we'll have you back later in the hour. we'll talk about immigration and the federal judge who blocked that border wall. the construction of it. we'll be back with you on that later. meantime, making sense of house democrats holding off on enforcing subpoenas for president trump's bank records. is a deal in the works? i don't keep track of regrets. and i don't add up the years. but what i do count on... is staying happy and healthy. so, i add protein, vitamins and minerals to my diet with boost®. boost® high protein nutritional drink has 20 grams of protein, along with 26 essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. all with guaranteed great taste.

if the president is claiming no business dealings with russia while trying to make this trump tower deal take place, has he also been concealing money laundering with russians? >> we're absolutely concerned about money laundering. we're concerned about illicit funds. we're concerned about the loans, for example, that he's gotten from deutsche bank. new developments this morning as the president's legal team has reached a deal with the house intelligence and financial services committee. according to a court filing, the committees will temporarily hold off on enforcing subpoenas for the president's financial footprints from deutsche bank and capital one. just last month the president sued the companies to block the production of documents.

this agreement now allows an expedited appeal schedule. joining me now, msnbc legal contributor katie phang. very early good morning to you, my friend. let's get into this because we know two federal judges just this past week refused to block subpoenas from these committees confirming congress can, indeed, obtain these documents. what happens now? how smart a move is this from the democrats? why would they agree to do this because they had favorable rulings? >> i'm sure there are some people in the american public wondering and scratching their heads, why if the democrats had such key wins in court would they agree to any further delay? but the reality from our judicial system is just because you win at a trial court level does not mean there's not the availability of an appeal for somebody like donald trump. and so because the democrats have won victories in court ordering the production of documents pursuant to subpoenas served on deutsche bank, capital

one, even mazars, trump is entitled legally to take an appeal. what's important about the last-minute deal struck yesterday between trump and house finance is the following -- normally there's a schedule of time to file your briefs when dealing an appeal. if you agree to an expedited appeal process, you've agreed to basically save a lot of time off what would have otherwise been available to somebody like trump to prepare his initial appellate briefs. what we're all beholden to, whether you're the democrats or trump, is the fact the appeals court can take his own time to make its decision. even though the parties have decided to do an expedited appeal, ultimately it will be up to the appellate court to make its decision. >> how does the timing affect the outcome? how would an expedited appeal to which the trump administration proposed and agreed, how does it

benefit them? i don't see how taking less time benefits, perhaps, the trump administration favorably? >> you know, it's a very interesting question because you're right in. normally the way democrats are looking at it, we want to get this information in advance of the 2020 election so if there is some huge bombshell that's going to come out of these documents that might be of value to the democrats for purposes of going into that election cycle. however, if you're the trump team and it's an inevitable turning over of documents, you may want to get it over sooner versus later. i would agree an aexpedited appeal does not in and of itself help trump. the reality f you're noticing, several wins are coming in. it's not just on the financial documents. this week there was also a key victory in terms of the blocking of trump using money to be able to construct portions of his border wall. so, there's a lot of things happening in court for which we're grateful we do have judges that are following the law and they're understanding that the application of prior legal press

debt would guide what happens in these various issues. in erpz of these particular documents, these judges have found these are legitimate purposes being asserted by these democratic committees and because of that, these documents have to be turned over. to some extent, this it's is inevitable conclusion. trump will have to turn over these documents. >> how soon is expedited? >> there is the affording of continuances give that they can rubber stamp, but when you say expedited, normally if you had 30 days to be able to file your initial brief, maybe you've agreed to on it in two weeks. that could have been the onus or hammer put on congress by the trump team to be able to say, look, have you to do this sooner versus later. you mightville do it sooner. that's what they decided to do yesterday. >> speaking of sooner, we'll see you again very soon. thank you so much, katie phang. dramatic rescue. a hiker missing for more than two weeks shares her story of survival. survival

teacher, went hiking alone, leaving her cell phone in the car at the trail head of the forest. she told "the new york times" she got lost and that first day hiked until midnight looking for her car. she knew the forest well, sleeping in the mud some nights, surviving off water and berries, losing her shoes in a flash flood. then she fell into a ravine between two waterfalls. >> we're all literally looking down at the same time. at the same time we did a double take, a hiker. >> reporter: it was amanda, waving at the rescue team in the sky. air lifted to a hospital, surrounded by a grateful family. >> there were times of total fear and loss and wanting to give up. it did come down to life and death and i had to choose. and i chose life. i wasn't going to take the easy way out. >> we also heard from her mother who said amanda told her she sat down to meditate, relax while she was on that hike and she

fell asleep for a short nap. when she woke up, she was disoriented and headed off in the wrong direction. to the war of words between the president and house speaker nancy pelosi. the political battle consuming washington and threatening to derail agendas. "the washington post" is out with a new piece called trump insists he's winning in the feud with pelosi. this perspective shining new light on their motives for ramping up the rhetoric of late. joining me now rashad richie and ned ryan, former writer for president george w. bush. good to see you on a sunday morning. ned, to you first, i'm curious if both sides can claim victory. how is this playing out? are there any losers here? perhaps the american people who would like to see progress on infrastructure and other things, right? >> exactly. if you say it's someone winning

or losing, of course i'm going to say i think trump is winning but i think the numbers back me up a little bit. there was a cbs poll last week that showed the majority of the american people want to move on from these investigations. about 60% of them are happy with the conclusions that special counsel robert mueller came to. when 75% of democrats in that poll want the democrats to continue the investigations. so the house democrats are in a tough spot. they can either surrender on impeachment or embarrassingly move forward because it's never going to happen but they're stuck because that's what their base wants. all trump can do is say, i'm going to keep going on. you can't pass any legislation without me but i can continue doing things through executive orders, et cetera. i would say trump, but, yeah, in the whole overall people the american people are losing out here. it's time to move on and do the people's business. >> what do you think, do you agree with ned thinking you're going to give trump the edge in this feud or might it be nancy

pelosi, who has picked up something because she's now addressing those who have been pushing for impeachment because she's using pretty strong language and she's showing real gumption on that? >> i aagree the american people are the losers when you have political fights like this. let's be clear, president trump has been taking ales from speaker pelosi since december of 2016. when the president said he was proud to shut down the government and would take blame for it, well, the american people did blame him. 61% of americans said his handling of the shutdown was basically detestable. 58% of americans disagreed with him on border wall security in the first place. let's fast forward to today. you have an infrastructure deal shot to hell because the president of the united states threw a temper tantrum. 72% of americans wanted this deal to happen and they believe that the infrastructure deal would also stimulate the

economy. >> you know, ned, can you respond to the prospect of trump now leading us into another government shutdown potentially? if he makes good on his promise to not work with the democrats on anything, we're looking at another one potentially in the fall. that last one was a terrible pr situation for him. i mean, let alone everything else that's awful. but just from the pr vantage point. >> honestly, i don't think so, alex. i think they're going to get to a point where they're hopefully will -- at the same time, is there any legislation right now that will move through the democratic house that the senate -- the republicans and the senate will actually sign off on, that trump will sign off on? again, the best fet is that infrastructure bill. my besteiggest problem with the infrastructure bill -- we need it, where do the $2 trillion come from? i think that's the biggest problem, how do you get that funded? i hope we don't have another

goth shutdown, we can figure this out. i would have hoped that would have been one of the first things we could have done in 2017, infrastructure. i think everybody is so dug in at this point, house democrats don't the to give trump a win and trump saying you have to stop these investigations, we'll have to see how this plays out. >> can i ask you about "the washington post" report which goes as this, some white house aides said it was better for trump to be fighting with pelosi or vice president joe biden or other 2020 candidates, as trump has not done, elevating their status. what's going on there? >> obviously, trump wants to foyle nancy pelosi at this point. i'm not sure i fully agree with that. at some point he has to be dealing with the nominee. obviously, joe biden is one of the front-runners. i don't have as big an issue with him taking shots at joe biden. right now with biden in the lead, he could potentially be the nominee. he needs to foil, nancy pelosi at this point to make some of his arguments about some of these issues.

i'm not sure i fully buy their argument but i can understand it at some level. i'm not sure i fully buy their arguments. >> our reality show president has given us another installment after he up-ended that meeting with democrats on infrastructure. here he is interestingly asking aides about his temperament in that meeting. take a listen. >> what was my temperament yesterday? >> very calm. >> mercedes, you're always a straight-talker. you were in that room yesterday. >> yes, sir. >> what was my attitude when i walked in? did i scream and -- >> no. you were very calm and very direct. >> larry, you were there. what was my attitude yesterday at the meeting? >> mercedes is right, you were very calm and you laid out the case. >> just talking about the meeting yesterday. what was my tone yesterday at the meeting? >> very calm. i've seen both and this was definitely not angry or ranting.

>> do you think this is evidence that nancy pelosi's strategy is definitely getting under his skin? >> absolutely. think about this outside the context of the presidency. if you have a boss and he's been accused of anything and to defend himself he doesn't stand on his own word, he decides to call on five people who work for him. people that he hired in order to validate his word. here's what it showed me. the president of the united states is well aware that his word, by itself, is no longer enough. that's why he looks to validaters who obviously will say anything he wants them to say because they know if they do not, they'll be on the chopping block on twitter the next day. >> but alex, you know what i want him to do in the future any time democrats come down to have negotiations, do what he did last year. flip the cameras on them. have the cameras on them so there's no question what

happened in that room. >> i think that's a good idea. can you comment on what we witnessed with the president going one by one with those who work for him, asking them to validate him? >> i think he's frustrated. i think he feels he went in, he had a very, you know, stern conversation, said i'm not doing this anymore. we're not doing a redo of the mueller investigation. until you stop these investigations, i'm not going to have a conversation about infrastructure and walked out. i'm sure there were stern and firm words. all of a sudden he was told he was over the top, being erratic. i wasn't being that way so he's looking for validation from people in the room. i think he's frustrated by the fact that there was another story coming out that he doesn't feel is true. >> we'll leave it there. thank you. good to see you both. one month out from the first democratic debate, the race is on for a spot on that stage from the impeachment question to roe versus wade, what the candidates

y judiciary committee. we have to educate the american people. >> we should begin impeachment proceedings against donald trump. the consequence of the alternative is to turn a blind eye to this. in doing so, turn our back on the future of this country. and i cannot be part of that. we'll have to make the tough decisions now. >> these were indictable offenses. but for the office of legal counsel's opinion, they would have been charged. so, we need to have bob mueller come and clear that up for the american public. >> if we want to accomplish anything in this campaign and in this country, we're going to have to get money out of politics. i wrote a bill and launched it in my presidential campaign for actually publicly funded elections. what it would do, if you agree to it as a campaign, you wouldn't be able to take a contribution over $200. >> i am doing everything that i can working, by the way, with some honest conservatives in the senate. to prevent donald trump and john

president trump firing back at a central judge after partially blocking his administration's plan to build a southern border wall. the president tweeting that was against border security and in favor of crime, drugs and human trafficking. joining me, laetitia beacham, and jonathan allen, national political reporter with nbc news. how effective do you think the president's message is going to be to build a border wall during the 2020 campaign if he's still struggling to build it? >> yes, it's going to be difficult for president trump right now. he is smart in trying to make this iss a political move. that was a trump card for the judge in this particular case. but building the wall has been a cornerstone of not only his presidential campaign but also his presidency.

now, he has to make it a political one. the democrats are okay with this one. this is an obama-apointed judge that allowed the bad hom bres t come over. >> he cannot use defense funds to build the wall, which was in question from the very beginning. what could be his next move? do you think he's out of options? >> i don't think he's out of options. first of all, we're looking right now at preliminary injunctive relief here. it is going to go through the courts. i thought it was interesting that the judge found the executive branch didn't meet the tests of the law. if you look at section 8005 of the defense appropriations act, it require s if you make that

transfer, that congress has not denied funds. and the purpose that is military is trying to get with that transfer is unforeseen emergencies. the court found that neither of those things were met. or at least that the people suing the government were likely to share that in court later. we'll see how that plays out. we'll see further court action, and the president says he's going to appeal. he wants to have the fight at the very least. he wants to be able to show the people who elected him in the first place, showing his voters that he's fighting on this. to the extent that it doesn't actually happen, it's still a political issue for him. it's something you can talk about on the campaign trail. >> want to turn to chip roy, as a congressman, blocking a $19 billion bipartisan disaster relief bill. here's his reasoning. take a listen to that. >> it's a bill that includes nothing to address the clear national emergency and

humanitarian crisis at our southern border. and finally, this is a $19 billion bill that is not paid for. we're wracking up $100 million per debt per hour. this is after the president said he would sign the bill, and he would drop his demand that border wall funding be included in this. what's the gain here of blocking a bill that both parties, even the president, agreed to. >> the gain here is making sure that trump has the most power. he's putting himself at the forefront of the funding of this wall. he wanted to be successful in the first round where he made the declaration early on. now, blocking this bill -- he's having to share credit. and that's something that president trump is not going to do. i agree with jonathan that the only thing going forward now for trump, is he has the option to appeal, which we will probably see in the coming months. but his other option could also be to find other sources for the funds. we are, basically, baiting

breath, waiting to see what trump is going to decide. >> thanks for hanging out all hour with me. appreciate that. the search for more victims in oklahoma after a deadly overnight tornado plowed into a hotel and mobile home park. cool. a non-surgical treatment that targets, freezes, and eliminates treated fat cells, for good. discuss coolsculpting with your doctor. some common side-effects include temporary numbness, discomfort, and swelling. don't imagine results, see them. coolsculpting, take yourself further. has four levels of defenseremium gasoagainst gunk, wear, corrosion and friction. that helps keep your engine running like new. it's fuel for thought.
