about that same investigation. he talked about the moment he arrived here at you said, just minutes after the first 911 call was made. he talked about going to a funeral home that is just down the street, across from the school where he saw this negotiator and gave some details of what he was able to aobserve. this is part of the conversation that the mayor had with our telemundo affiliate. >> when did they start trying to negotiate with him? around what time. >> the moment he went in that cloos room, they started calling. i wasn't there at the initial. but at the moment he went in that classroom and they were trying to get -- >> and the 911 calls that there were shots fired, they were trying to negotiate with him even though they were hearing shots? >> i don't well we were -- never heard that call. >> reporter: so you have a lot of different pieces moving here. we have to information the investigation is being conducted by tate authorities, and the

texas rangers and they're looking into the uvalde police department that responded here yet as we know we've said in the past, this is jurisdiction of the school police of which pete arredondo is the chief. meanwhile, this week pete arredondo has been sworn in as a new city council member in uvalde despite some criticism because of the investigation, willie. >> gaud venegas, thank you so much. mike, you were watching that sound bite from the mayor and a bit of disbelief if you go back to the timeline and the misinformation and the bad information we received from police from the word go, since the shooting nine days ago. we had commissioner bill bratton on the show a few days ago who has run police departments from new york to l.a. and boston and said it was a disgrace to the police the way this story was being communicated and changed so much times. >> or miscommunicated. the level of misinformation dispensed from the get-go in this tragedy is astounding. and it began the day -- the

morning of the shooting. and the idea that the school police chief, mr. arredondo looks at if everything is coming down on him and him alone, there is more blame to go around than just this one individual arredondo. but it leads people to conjecture and conspiracy theory theoryize. >> and it hasn't stopped. initially there was blame cast on the teacher for leaving the door open and got an attorney and set go look at the tape. the door was closed, she was getting food out of her car and did close the door. it seems like they're casting blame everywhere they can even when it turns out not to be true. >> they invented a confrontation with a school resource officer that did not happen. and the story did change so much times and it seems like their pointing fingers, what role did

the border guard or the police or school police play. and they are pointing fingers here. at a time when getting to the bottom of what happened is so important and the funeral are day after day in uvalde. it is 19 children, all with personalized heartbreaking caskets with their favorite cartoon characters or images from parents who are now mostly focused on these images here of mourning and laying their loved ones to rest. but then the funerals will come and go but they'll demand answers and what went wrong and what could be done to prevent something like this happening again. >> it is going to happen again. we all know that. that is the reality of guns in america. but another deeply upsetting aspect is with the shooting last evening in tulsa, oklahoma, we're approaching a time in our lives when we're being desensitized to these events and there is a consistency to them.

it is always a lone gunman and we know what the weapons are, the casualties yesterday so far that we know are four dead. we'll find out more about it. that seems to be more of a planned attack because he knew exactly where he was going in the hospital, the second floor. but you combine that with just the wink of an eye, uvalde, texas, with 19 children dead, and people move on quickly. more people talked about the johnny depp trial yesterday than talked about the tragedy in uvalde or tulsa. >> and this is what law enforcement fears, is copy, not a true copycat buts it out there and one mass shooting inspires other and we're in a deadly wave of them now. >> think about the locations of the last three major ones. a grocery store, an elementary school and a hospital. on the questions of guns in america, on capitol hill, the house judiciary committee will hold an emergency session at the top of the hour today on a large

package of gun bills. protecting our kids act includes raising the age from 18 to 21 for a semi-automatic rifle. and on the senate side, negotiators have reached a framework for gun safety legislation. nine senators, four democrats and four democrats left and talks expressing some measure of optimism a deal could be reached. that is what chris murphy of connecticut who is leading the negotiations told us earlier on "morning joe." >> i cannot say i'm confident, and i'm confident in our negotiators and the question then is are there enough votes in the senate to get this -- to get this passed. i don't know yet. i've tried to be very clear with my republican partners and other republicans that i'm not going to let the perfect be the enemy

of the good. maybe back in 2013 i wouldn't have settled for anything less than comprehensive background checks but now i think it is important to show republicans that there is political reward for voting with 90% of the constituents, that the political sky doesn't fall. so we have to see if there is room there to get this done but i think i've got partners at the table right now who have a lot of credibility in the republican caucus and that makes me feel good about our chances. >> senator murphy speaking with us earlier on "morning joe." joining us now, correspondent ali vitali and from the north lawn of the white house, and "morning joe" senior contributor, eugene daniels. good morning to you both. ali, i'll start with you. we had a long conversation with senator murphy. do his best to express optimism, saying there are more republicans at the table now than he's ever seen. that he believes they are negotiating in good faith. but also with a dose of reality that he's not going to get everything he wants to get or

maybe anything even if it is so popular with the american public as expanded universal background checks, red flag laws an the like. >> that dose of reality check is never far from mind here on capitol hill. because we really have seen legislators do this dance before. come to the table, try to negotiate a package, and have it fall apart. i think one of the things that we're looking at is both a democratic shift of mindset because you hear chris murphy saying there are things on the table that he's entertaining. he won't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. that is important when you consider the democratic mindset on this. but also you have to consider the republican mindset and early on mitch mcconnell seemed to bless these kind of talks between republicans and democrats on guns. he's talked about it in a really specific way and i want to play something he said yesterday in his home state of kentucky that i think lends to the mindset on this that we should all keep in mind. take a listen. >> and it seems to me there are two broad categories that

underscore the problem. mental illness and school safety. so hopefully we could find a way to come together and make some progress on this horrendous problem consistent with our constitution and with our values. >> and again, he's someone who speaks very specifically. you see him there laying out mental health and school safety. when these senators talk about having a framework, that's are pieces that have long been in the framework. but in addition, we're also talking about things like background checks and red flag laws. that is something that is also in the house judiciary package today. the house and senate both on recess. but the house judiciary committee coming back to today for an emergency mark up session on a larger package of bills that include things like ensent vising states to put in place red flag laws. that is one of the few pieces of the package as i look at what

could happen between the house and the senate, where they find commonality, red flag laws is one of those places. a democratic aide yesterday said when they think about what is in this house judiciary bill, they think about it all as low-hanging fruit. but that doesn't change its fate or feasibility once it gets to the senate. nevertheless, multiple efforts trying to have something happen in the wake of so much tragedy. >> they're trying framework may be a generous characterization of what they have at this point. capitol hill correspondent ali vitali. eugene daniels, let's look at this from the other end of pennsylvania avenue. how hard is the president of the united states pushing to get something done and what influence does he have on this debate in congress? >> the white house has talked about the president or excuse me the administration having dozens of calls with folks who are involved, so whether that is the negotiators or members of congress who have a lot of sway on capitol hill, they won't see who those people are. that is something that we've

been trying to get out of them. but we haven't seen president biden putting his thumb on the scale doing a lot of meetings with members of congress because they've been hard-pressed after the failure of the build back better agenda to have president biden be seen as kind of 101st senator appearing from the white house and that is something they don't want to see. but the president has promised to meet with members of congress, he hasn't said whether that is this bipartisan group or not. it seems and president biden has kind after lewded to the idea that he wants to give them a chance to do this. to work things out and even the press secretary over the last week has kind of alluded to the fact that it is not always very helpful for a president to come in and get involved in bipartisan effort. and we'll say that is not something advocates want to hear, not something a lot of voters want to hear because they want to see the president outfront on this issue. one of the things the

administration is looking at is seeing what kind of executive orders they could do from here. but the one issue is that there is a concern that they may have done everything they can. they've done about four different rounds of executive orders when it comes to gun safety. and so they're worried and they're continuing to look at it. everything that ali talked about is right. something that is interesting, any member of congress, any president, anybody who would be -- who would say that gun legislation shouldn't be something that they should pass and have sent to the president's desk is out of step with the american people. last week after the uvalde shooting, we had some political polling that said 88% somewhat are strongly support all gun sales requiring background checks, 67% with banning assault style weapons. and on things kind of like red flag laws, 84%. so that is something that the american people want so see. whether that changes the calculations of folks on capitol hill especially republicans is

hard to see. >> and the numbers that you point to are the ones that senator murphy was hoping to convince republicans, look, this is not a political risk to support some of these measures. >> let me ask about the latest flight of baby formula coming from overseas to the united states. there is some on the shelves not enough to satisfy families that need it and a stunning admission from president biden when he said he didn't hear about the is until april. we know the whistleblower made that report at abbott factory back in october and in february it was shut down. the president saying he didn't hear about it until april. >> yeah, absolutely. it was something that was stunning for folks to hear, especially when he was meeting with some of these formula manufacturers. they said they knew immediately when the abbott facility was closed that there was going to be a problem. that this was going to have a large impact on the supply side of things. and a lot of my colleagues in

the press briefing yesterday tried to get karine jean-pierre, if the formula folks knew and the government was looking into and the fda had been involved in shutting down this plant, why wasn't the president of the united states involved or at least briefed on the issue. and the thing that she kept pushing back with, this is a whole of government approach and i think the most interesting question or the most interesting retort that was sent back to her, does that include the president of the united states. so that is a answer that they have still yet to -- a question they have still yet to answer but it is not going away any time soon because the issue is still right in front of the american people. >> one would hope and assume it would include the president. but apparently it didn't for several months. eugene daniels outside of the white house. thank you so much. and come up this morning on "morning joe," a big warning on the economy from jp morgan jamie

dimon where he's telling investors to brace themselves. and from ukraine, where russia is gaining more ground in the eastern part of the country. and we'll go live to london to celebrate the queen's jubilee. to celebrate 70 years on the throne for queen elizabeth ii. kier joins us next. kier joins us next

your majesty, congratulations on your platinum jubilee. for 70 years you've inspired people with yourselfless devotion and the people of the united kingdom and the commonwealth. >> a bit of the message from the president and first lady to queen elizabeth ii as they kick off four days of celebration marking her platinum jubilee.

she made a pair of public appearances, watching the festivities and greeting the crowds from the balcony of buckingham palace. and joining us now, keir simmons. keir, quite a kickoff to the four-day celebration. >> reporter: yeah, great, wasn't it. just everything that the british are terrific at. the timing, the pomp and ceremony and i think there was the pageantry and also some poignancy today, willie, because on the one hand the queen looking fantastic and in that pale blue and she went able to go to the parade itself. the parade came to her and saluted her on the balcony. but i think very quietly and slowly, what you are seeing is the changing of the -- you saw today charles and ann and william riding up right on horses down the mile to lead that parade and i think that the

royal family, if you like, is rearranging the shot window. they are presenting the future in a sense and what you really saw i think with the queen is her as the matriarchal figure kind of satisfied enjoying presenting that future to us. and then of course there were the moments with the kids. listen, we had three generations of royals on display here today, willie. but really three young royals stole the show and that was kate and william's kids. we saw them in the carriage, looking excited and behaving and waving and smiling and then on the balcony, talk about behaving yourself, louie, he looks as if he wasn't enjoying it very much. particularly the fly past when you blocked his ears. so aly bit of fun. it is always a historic moment and you get to compare those pictures on the balcony from previous pictures. i think i'm right in saying is actually there is a shot of

charles on the balcony with the queen at the same kind of age as louie today with the queen. it is great in terms of kind of historical references. >> we're going to give louie a pass at 4 years old. it is hard with children. keir, let me ask you about the significance of the roll over four days during trooping the guard, that prince charles seems to be front and center, the man that will be king, if almost an unofficial passing of the torch and a changing of the throne. >> reporter: that is exactly right. i think that is what we are seeing. and you know, here is the truth about it. the large numbers of people who came out on the streets today for the queen probably wouldn't come out for prince charles if it was only about him if you like. and so there is work to be done for the royal family to show people that there is a changing

of the generations if you like doesn't have to mean a changing of people's admiration and commitment to the crown. they do have some real assets though, willie. i think for example, kate, looks pretty spectacular again today. she really does seem to have if you like, has grown into the role. and today you saw kate, she looked amazing on the balcony. incredibly poised. and then in the carriage with her children, watching over them and ensuring that they behave themselves. so, there are -- well the queen said in her message, there is a lot to look forward to in the future and i think she said that purposefully. >> you know, keir, as you know, we have here in the united states, july 4th, a spectacle of celebration that certainly doesn't come anywhere close to what we've been watching here

for the last two or three hours in london. but, fourth of july, we have the picnic and the parade and the burnt hot dogs in the backyard and stuff like that. but what we're watching here today, there is a resonance to it that is somewhat striking and i'm wondering, if the crowd seems to feel and show us they feel is more for queen elizabeth than the 70 years of devotion to her duty sore is it to the larger royal family itself, or do you know? >> reporter: that is a great question and i don't think we do know. because most of us, as we said yesterday, have never known a time when there hasn't been a queen elizabeth. what will it feel like when that time is over. i don't think we can necessarily say. i do think that behind the closed doors of buckingham palace, they're thinking seriously about that and i think you saw today an attempt to choreograph the shift,

choreograph a window that talked about as much as the future as the past if you like. so i think that is very much something that the royal family are aware of. and that they want to make sure that they get ahead of. in terms of just the pomp and ceremony, you know, much as the u.s. rallies around the flag, the british rally around the queen. you could argue also as much as the americans rally around your president, the british rally around the queen, the head of state. it is fascinating that the conversations that develop about which system is better if you like. i suspect different systems are better at different times from what we find through history and now and it goes back to your question, what will happen after the queen. we don't know. >> i mentioned i think i said earlier, trooping the guard, i mean trooping the color. i beg the forgiveness of royal watchers everywhere. thank you. >> we forgive you.

can i just mention, hey, willie, as well as the 70th anniversary it is my 10th wedding anniversary. so i just want to quickly say to my wife jess, yes, and i want to say to my wife jess, happy wedding anniversary and i look forward to another ten years. >> happy anniversary. if you look over your shoulder, the queens could come back out to the balcony in honor of your 10th anniversary which was very big of her to do. nbc news senior international correspondent keir simmons on his 10th anniversary. congratulations to you, sir. good to see you. >> thank you, my friend. up next, live to cnbc for the latest on the new warning from the head for the largest bank in america about the economy. plus one of the key figures behind facebook's rise announcing she will step aside. we'll back in a moment. aside we'll back in a moment your projects done right

it's a hurricane. right now, it's kind of sunny, things are doing fine. everyone thinks the fed could handle this. that hurricane is right out there down the road coming our

way. we just don't know if it is a minor one or superstorm sandy or andrew or something like that. and you better brace yourself. >> well then, that was the warning yesterday from jp morgan chase ceo jamie dimon. one of the titans of wall street. let's bring in dom chu to the conversation. what does he mean specificallily, what does he see on the horizon? >> to this point, jamie dimon is likely just saying what a lot of other business leaders have always said publicly or other wise behind closed doors that things could get rough if some of the current business and economic head winds continue. now, dimon is an interesting person here to make these comments. he's in an interesting position. arguably with a finger on the pulse of the economy, not just here in america but globally as well. given the fact that he does run one of the america's biggest

banks. inflation is a problem. and the federal reserve is working to try to slow the economy down by selling bonds into the market and then taking cash out of the system as a result of that. so it is a real worry for those on wall street that fed chairman jay powell and other policymakers in that efforts to battle inflation will maybe step on the brakes too much, perhaps make a hypothetical policy error and maybe send the economy into a recession. meanwhile, at that same conference, by the way, dimon said that as a result of what he views as that hurricane that is coming, that jp morgan chase would be more conservative in the way it does business. in its lending operations, the use of its balance sheet so to speak. the interesting conflict here is within dimon's own ranks at jp morgan. buzz dimon's view is the opposite of one of his top market analysts. in a note to clients, marco who heads up their research department, said despite the market sell-off, he still thinks

the market will be recovered by the end of the year implying that the worst is behind us. so willie, it just goes to show how varied all of the views are about where things are headed in the economy and the markets overall. >> and gas prices continue to go in the wrong direction. up to $4.72 a gallon on the national average. up 12 cents from a week ago. is there any sense that this could be blunted at least or are we headed up to $6 a gallon this summer? >> this is the problem. the problem right now is nobody is going to be gutsy enough to make a call enough that gasoline prices have peaked. the reason why is because this is summer driving season. at least here in the u.s. this is a time when there is a surge in demand for fuel. and right now there is no real, at least trend economic data that shows americans are slowing their spending on gasoline at all. in fact, people continue to pay those higher gasoline prices. people haven't canceled their vacations or road trips in mass

as of yet. we could wait and see if that happens. but if this does continue, this is an environment where if demand does not blunt kind of the effects of this, the supply issues will still be in tact. you have perhaps saudi arabia and opec countries saying that they're going to produce more, try to get more oil on the market. but at the end of the day, the cure for high prices is high prices. unless you start seeing consumers slow that spending, prices may not come down in a meaningful way any time soon. so a lot of experts out there watching the gasoline markets are saying this could be a tough time for gasoline in the next couple of months here. >> so, don, back to jamie dimon's comments for a second. aren't the big banks in better shape solvency wise, on the books wise, than they were in 2008 and 2009? >> oh, there is no doubt about it. and you make an excellent point here, mike. the whole idea here, the reason why jamie dimon is being at

least as vocal as he is about this is because these banks, the ones that were at center of the financial crisis, many of them in fact, and jp morgan was one of them, maybe to a lesser degree than others. these banks did business in a much more aggressive way leading up to the great financial crisis. many of those lessons have been learned. the federal reserve is much more heavy-handed with regard to regulating some of the big banks and the way that they do their lending operations, the way this they take risks in the market place and that sort of thing, but when you're already subject to that, yet you're as a ceo of america's biggest banks still saying that you're going to be much more conservative in the way that you do business, it may be echoes some of the worries that many of the lenders have, that right now the economy does look okay, the jobs market is still solid, but if things do turn, it could get ugly. so the idea here is, yes, maybe the ceo's have learned a very, very harsh lesson from the great financial crisis in '08 and '09

and now they're going to prepare themselves for what could be a whirlwind or a hurricane in dimon's words. >> one more for you. sheryl sandberg, the long time adult in the room at facebook. been there for 14 years, meta, the chief operating officer announcing she's stepping away after 14 years with the company. what prompted the move and what the significance here? >> i mean, sandberg at one point did say that being at facebook now meta platforms would be a five-year thing for her. maybe a five-year gig. so you have mark zuckerberg very much the public face, the founder and chief executive there. but sheryl sandberg is the driving force behind the adult in the room type comments. but she is the driving force behind turning that company into an advertising and revenue-generating behemoth. at first it was her role at steadying mark zuckerberg's hands but she did become one of the most powerful business leaders in the world and in fact

a billionaire because of her efforts over there. now some industry watchers feel that it was in the works for a while. sandberg's responsibilities were being transferred to other top company lieutenants, say sources familiar and now that facebook has kind of rebranded itself, right, kind of recast itself in this kind of metaverse, universe, this next business for the company around virtual reality and the next evolution of the internet, it may be providing a good opportunity for sandberg to step back. now, by the way, she's still on the board of directors so it is not like she's stepping away completely. but just more of the day-to-day operations. this is a company already in transition and the folks over there understand that and that is the reason why the market is taking this relatively in stride. >> dom chu covering a lot of ground for us and expertly this morning. dom, thank you so much. good to see you. let's bring into the conversation a member of president's council of economic advisers, jared bernstein. it is good to see you this

morning. let's go back to the gas prices. as of this morning, $4.72 a gallon, up 12 cents from last week with no slowdown in sight here. we saw the president's op-ed and what he believes the sources are, which are the fed, and the deficit and the war in russia, all of those may be true but that is not helping anybody today or tomorrow or next week paying for gas at the pump. what do you say to people who are struggling with price and with gas and groceries and so many other items? >> let me start by underscoring some of the points that the president made in his op-ed this week is precising what you asked about there. there is a president that grew up in a family where these were kitchenen table issues so we're doing all that we can to help on the gas at the pum. but in other commodities as well. as you said, vladimir putin's unjust invasion of the sovereign nation of ukraine is all over that issue and we're hoping

reports that opec may compensate for the some of the lost barrels. so the president has overseen the largest release of oil from a global reserves ever presided over. that is why he's tried to increase the supply of the ef-15 ethanol, mostly benefiting buyers in the midwest and we'll continue to press on making sure that suppliers meet their quotas and doing all that we can to -- to increase refineries. and we're doing all we can to help. >> we've had many economists on this show in the last couple of weeks and months pointing to the stimulus package as overheating the economy. we understand why they were necessary at the time to save a lot of businesses, to save a lot of people's livelihoods. as you look back as an economist, simply do you believe that those packages are contributing to the inflation we're seeing today. >> i believe those packages are

integrally contributing to some of the remarkable economic statistics and dynamics that we've posted. so the federal reserve recently reported and one of your commentators was talking about this, families are reporting that they feel more financially secure even with elevated inflation that at any point in the history of this survey going bag to 2013. manufacturing job growth at a 30-year high and business investment up 20%. we know that entrepreneurial applications for small business are the highest on record and of course over 8 million jobs created since this president got here. all of those have the fingerprints of the american rescue plan on them and getting vaccinations out there in a what that was not occurring before we got here. so no question that these have contributed to the economic back drop that is so critical right now with people fatsing this elevated inflation. >> understood. did it contribute to the

inflation though? >> the inflation that we're observing is very much a function of high levels of demand and constrained supply. now that relates to covid, that relates to things that century weren't in the picture when the american rescue plan went into place. things like omicron and other variants and russia's invasion, things like china's lockdown. and sure, fiscal policy is always going to contribute to the demand side of the equation, but i'm not here to at all look at this in one-sided way. when you talk about the rescue plan, it is essential to balance some of the heat that fiscal policy helped to create along with that list of benefits. we just got an unemployment insurance report this morning with historically low levels of claims. this is the most remarkably tight labor marks in decades of track these things. and if you know anything about bidenomics, a tight job market

is at core of making sure people get a fair shake in this economy. >> jared, good morning, circling back to gas prices which i know is a particular concern of the building behind you. you said the president would do anything it takes to drive down the prices and one of those things include heading to saudi arabia to meet with mohammed bin salman, since the death of khashoggi, what will the message be to the crown prince in terms of what he needs to do to produce more oil. >> so one of the reasons i get to come out here and talk to you is because i don't lean over my skis in areas that i have not read out on and i just don't have a read out on that. that would be a great question for folks who are more intimately involved with that side of the equation. what i could tell you is that the campaign, the president has talked about the importance of oil producers meeting their quotos and in this case we're looking at the reports just the same as everybody else in the

markets today. >> looking at reports on opec perhaps stepping up production, this a meeting that is occurring today in order to try to replace some of the lost barrels of russian oil and there again i think a key point is that, remember, putin's unprovoked invasion is of course a key factor in the prices at the pump. >> and then shifting gears to supply chain issues which are a driving force for other aspects of inflation right now. give us an update as to what the situation is we're seeing at the nation's ports. what more could be done there. there are still delays for a lot of goods reaching stores across the country. >> well first of all, thank you for that question. because we're so focused at pump, it is the price we see twice a block when we're driving to or home from work. but in fact, that is about 20% of family expenditures at the most. so there is a lot of other factors that families are facing and the president is consistently talked about this.

i think here, i'm somewhat of a sage older person around this white house. and so i could tell you that i've never been part of money administration in my long history in governments that has done more to help on the supply side of the economy and the area that i think is most pronounced is in supply chains. now we're here going to talk about dwell time, the amount of time containers spend in ports, that is down significantly. we're going to talk about how shelves are stocked, obviously i'm -- baby formula is a different discussion right now. but shelves other wise are stocked, 91%, about what they were before the pandemic. so our efforts at ports are bun of the key things we've done to get goods from ship to shelf and one of the reasons why the supply chains are somewhat less binding right now and why businesses are actually quite heavily building up their inventories. >> jared, what are the prospects of president biden lifting the

chinese tariff that president trump imposed in his failed trade war? >> i think the president has consistently said in recent weeks that this is yet another idea that is on the table when the president said fighting inflation is my top domestic priority, everything that should be on the table and that -- that is as well. however, i'm not going to talk about that until we're ready to say something and the president will certainly take the lead on that. but it is very much a topic of conversation. >> member of the white house council of economic advisers, jared bernstein. thank you for your time this morning. coming up next, the latest from ukraine as the war nears the 100th day. we'll have a report from the ground in kyiv and an update on the russian invasion there. we'll be right back. n invasion e we'll be right back. or... his nose.
