of germany and ultimately what led to defeat of hitler, jose. >> kerry, i saw you holding those two hands. you must have felt so much pride and awe, holding two hands that did so much. >> reporter: they may be 99, i felt strength, strength that dates back to the invasion here and strength that is fully recognized by the french, even young french people, talking about kids, coming up to them, saying thank you, recognizing that they would have a different life under hitler's germany were it not for what happened here 78 years ago. >> thank you so much. great to see you, my friend. that wraps up the hour for me. thank you for the privilege of your time. garrett haake has more news right now.

good monday morning. i am garrett haake in washington. we are watching a number of major developments this morning, starting with fallout from another deadly weekend of gun violence across the united states. look at what happened over this one weekend. yesterday, mass shootings in arizona and michigan and then in chattanooga, tennessee. second mass shooting in that city in as many weeks. saturday, another shooting in arizona with others in south carolina and in georgia and then that chaotic scene in philadelphia where three people were killed. in all, at least a dozen people killed. this morning, we're seeing new surveillance video of the exact moment shots rang out in philly sending a massive crowd into a panic at an entertainment district. the suspects there are still on the loose. we go to philadelphia for a live report in a moment. we also go to uvalde, texas, hearing from a funeral attendant that tried to go after the robbery elementary shooter but was held back by police.

>> he told me you stay the [bleep] back. i told him he is already inside the school. he said stay back and shut the [bleep] up. that's what he told me. my intention was to stop him. >> all of this comes as capitol hill gears up for two major hearings, first on wednesday from shooting survivors of uvalde and buffalo, thursday, the january 6 committee launches its prime time hearing, attempting to link former president trump and allies to the attack on the capitol and plot to overturn the 2020 election. let's get started with the team. gabe gutierrez is in philadelphia. and ali vitale at her post on capitol hill. gabe, i will get started with you. are police any closer to tracking down the suspects in philadelphia? >> reporter: garrett, so far no word yet. we are expecting to hear from the district attorney in a short

time. as you mention this was a deadly shooting over the weekend that sent people on the streets in philadelphia, those of you familiar with the area, it is bustling, especially at night. three people dead. at least 11 wounded, garrett. so far there has been no arrest. this all started, police believe, with two men getting into an argument. one of them eventually died. they both opened fire. then other gunmen started shooting as well, potentially around five gunman believed to have opened fire here in the area because there were five weapons that were used according to police. garrett, this philadelphia scenario seeing arise in gun violence in the last several months. it has been an extremely deadly year, not just here in philadelphia but across the country. but we're seeing that incredible video from over the weekend of

those hundreds of people that were gathered here sent into a panic. one witness says a bullet grazed his leg, turned from a party into sheer panic. again, the investigation is under way. no arrests yet, garrett. >> saw the enquirer reporting 94 people shot in philly in the last ten days. liz, you have survivors in uvalde, and we are hearing from a man that was ready to charge the shooter, but police told him to stand back. >> reporter: that's right, garrett. it is a chilling account from the man that works at the hill crest memorial funeral home, one of two homes in uvalde. he was there the day of the shooting may 24th when the shooter wrecked his grandmother's truck across from the funeral home in between the funeral home and robb elementary

school. he ran up with a co-worker to help, reacting to the crash, asking if he was okay. what he saw, experienced is just haunting. let's listen. >> he gave me this vibe, i said are you okay, thinking he was dazed out. he looked away from me inside his truck, i see him grab something from his truck. at that moment he looks back at me with that evil look. i see this rifle. >> reporter: he started running for his life. the shooter shot at both him and his co-worker. they were able to make it inside without being harmed. then he went into action, called his wife to bring him a gun and when she got there, he raced toward the school, about the same time as police arrived. he tried to enter the school, tried to tell them that the shooter had gone inside and they told him to get back, to shut

up. he just had to sit and watch as it all unfolded for more than an hour. not only does this man have this traumatic experience of being shot at by this killer, he has guilt as well about wishing he could do something more and learning later about all of the deaths and now, garrett, he has to work. he has already buried five of the victims. he digs the grave, lowers the caskets. one of the victims was his own cousin. garrett? >> everyone in that community connected somehow to what happened that day. the senate is back today. talk about the effort to come up with some legislation solution. we know the president is not going to get the things he called for on thursday. where are we in the senate talks resuming in person today? >> reporter: garrett, you and i were listening to the president last week. he laid out some of the things we know were on the table for senate negotiators, some things we know are not, specifically

bringing back assault style weapons ban. that's not one of the things on the table for senate negotiators, but we continue to hear the same buckets of three or four policy items that include things like mental health, school safety, narrower background checks and red flag laws, whether that's pushing states to have incentive to create programs or something else. but we know that's where the negotiations are hinging now. of course, senators coming back this week. and over the weekend, one of the lead senate negotiators, chris murphy, leveling with americans how he sees this moment in time on policy and legislation around gun violence. listen. >> listen, we're not going to do everything i want, we're not putting a peace of legislation to ban assault weapons or pass comprehensive background checks. right now people in this country want us to make progress. >> again, as usual the question is what that progress is ultimately going to look like.

you and i both know we look to the senate on that because the house can pass a package of gun violence prevention legislation, we expect them to do that when they come back wednesday or thursday, but it doesn't matter what they do unless it aligns with what the senate can do, and we know the senate negotiators are looking for something to get 60 votes, yes, but probably more than that, so as to inoculate the republicans politically, those that come to the table and vote for the package. it is trying to find the most consensus building package they canon the hill that they have been working all last week and continuing into this week. now that they're back in person, we can finally ask about it. >> and quickly, the other part of the inoculation, that's what the presumptive republican nominee negotiators want to see, right? >> reporter: absolutely. you listen to senator mitch mcconnell, the thing he kept

reiterating was mental health and school safety. that's one of the key things to keep republicans on board. >> fantastic. thank you all for starting us off. for more now, i want to bring in democratic congressman brendan boyle, member of the congressional gun violence prevention task force. congressman, you represent part of philadelphia. i'm curious what it was like to wake up sunday morning, see news of a mass shooting. gabe pointed out, gun violence has been problematic in philly a long time, it has been bad this summer. >> i can't, it was a sick feeling. woke up before 7:00 sunday morning, saw that overnight at some point, 1:30, 2:00 in the morning was a mass shooting. here now after all these years of quoting sandy hook and parkland and orlando and las vegas, now we can add philadelphia to the list. just to be clear, the situation

aside from saturday night, the situation we face in philadelphia is probably less the issue of mass shootings, almost all of which involve an ar-15 and more of the day in, day out violence we see because of illegal handguns that are on the streets of philadelphia, and obviously any shooting is a tragedy. what compounds that, as someone that not just represents philadelphia but is born and raised and loves the city, for 25 years we had a dramatic drop in violence, including gun violence from the early '90s to 2016, 2017. and then something happened, it happened in philadelphia and in other cities as well, and that 25 year consecutive record of progress dramatically turned around to the point now i am sad to say we have more murders in philadelphia last year than any previous year on record. >> the house this week will vote

on gun safety legislation. there's been an internal debate how to do this, whether to do one big vote with all of these elements that a lot of colleagues understand, republicans will not support at all, try to break it up, put people on the record on each individual piece, raising the age to buy an assault style weapon or putting in place red flag laws, you name it. given the reality of what you face in the senate for these, i wonder where you stand on the legislative strategy trying to highlight each of the individual issues or not. >> so first, i personally support and will vote for any and all of these measures. just to be clear where i stand on this. in terms of what our tactics are, i am by any means necessary. if breaking into individual votes as some of my colleagues want to do, if that will end up getting more yes votes, i am fine with that.

if we get more yes votes as one big package, i am fine with that, too. i am agnostic in terms of the means, just whatever gets us the biggest yes vote possible. >> ultimately if you want to get something done, it is sending a signal to the senate. your republican senator pat toomey has been involved in talks a long time. i wonder what you make of the murphy strategy as the main negotiator for democrats. maybe you're not getting everything. he has been more public this time around than previous iterations saying i am willing to take less, but we have to do something. does that fly for you, if it gets even a small portion of the wish list on this issue across the finish line? >> first i give my friend chris credit. he has been dogged about this the last ten years. after ten years we haven't been able to get those of us that

firmly believe in common sense gun legislation, we haven't been able to get really any of the things we want. this time has to be different. if it means that we have to settle for less than what i would like, for example, i would like an assault weapons ban, compare it to the last 20 years, the facts speak for themselves. i am realistic, unless the senate changes filibuster rules, there's no way we get an assault weapons ban based on the current map. let's focus on what we can achieve. i think chris' approach is the right one. >> or to elect more democratic senators, you would have the opportunity with john fetterman. i want to ask about the last couple weeks, had a stroke before winning the democratic nomination. he acknowledges it wasn't the first time he felt symptoms of the heart condition and didn't follow-up with doctors or take

the medication prescribed to him back in 2017. i wonder how concerned you are about the medical part of this, and b, the transparency part which could be a concern for pennsylvania voters who wonder perhaps what is the full story with his medical condition. >> well, first, i am glad that john is doing well. he has my full support. this is really one of if not the most important senate races in the country this year. and he absolutely has to win. as you were pointing out, if we had 52 democratic senators or 51 instead of 50, the equation on getting a gun bill passed would be quite different. i would point out that on friday afternoon john's doctors released a statement that put my mind at ease. sounds like he will make a full recovery, provided he follows doctors orders. as someone that's not the best at going to the doctor when i

should, i can understand the tendency to maybe not totally follow doctor's orders. he is in a situation in which he very much needs to do that, but again, i do fully expect that he will make a full recovery just based on what the doctor has now released last friday afternoon. >> should do a joint psa, go to the doctor, listen to what they tell you. we have to leave it there. thank you for coming on. after 13 mass shootings in 48 hours this weekend, i talk with a trauma surgeon who was also a survivor of gun violence about the impact on public health. but first, after more than a thousand witness interviews and review of more than 125,000 records, we are now days away from the january 6 committee first public televised hearing thursday night. what we learn from committee members this morning, why one republican committee member believes there was a conspiracy

on capitol hill, the house january 6 committee is getting ready for prime time, starting thursday evening, the panel will hold a series of televised hearings to present the case to the american people. members believe they have a powerful story to tell, linking former president trump and allies to the attack on the capitol as part of a wider plot to overturn the election. the committee may have work to do on this issue. the number of americans that say he is solely responsible is 45%, compared to 52% in days after the attack. that erosion is across the board with fewer republicans, independents and democrats blaming the former president. i am joined by nbc news senior national political reporter and "the washington post" political investigator and kate benner,

justice department reporter for "new york times." sawhill, take us what to expect to see and hear from the committee thursday and in weeks ahead as they roll out this series of hearings. >> reporter: one of the biggest questions over the committee as they begin hearings, what constitutes success. they know they have a trove of information they find extremely compelling about democracy and how close it got to the brink. the big question is what they want to achieve. and it breaks into two buckets. one source said they hope to have impact on public opinion. they believe they can do that by connecting the dots between the violence january 6 and broader conspiracy they see that included active participation by then president trump to overturn results of the 2020 election and stay in power, even though he lost. the second, they want it to be a blueprint for action, that includes action by the justice department. they would like to see more aggressive posture for prosecution. some members of the panel on the screen now have been publicly

frustrated. they expect to release legislative recommendations to tighten the electoral system and the electoral count act where loopholes were exposed by allies of president trump in attempt to discount electors for joe biden. beyond that, there are comparisons to watergate, there are similarities and differences. the question will be asked now as then, what did the president know and when did he know it, the president being donald trump. the biggest difference, the man that asked was a republican senator howard baker who went to thrive in his party. that's not something we're seeing today. liz cheney, adam kinzinger stood up to donald trump. it is a different world, they're in uncharted waters trying to sway a divided american public

about their findings. >> the committee members aren't trying to win over republican lawmakers but would like republican voters to pay attention. josh, we know some of how the committee wants to tell the story, they'll have some live witnesses, some videotaped depositions, could see ivanka or jared kushner or other folks appearing by videotape. to the point that sahil laid out, how does the committee cut through and take what's in many cases another congressional hearing and make it the thing people care about and pay attention to? >> reporter: they're trying to do production, they hired the former president of abc news to put together a lot of footage, particularly in prime time. they tried to put together compelling footage of what happened that day, transposed with interviews with folks from department of justice, mike pence's office, insiders,

campaign aides, and try to put videotape depositions with what happened that day. there are many challenges ahead. polling was interesting. a lot of the public has opinions on this. you have a committee that's been almost 16, 17 months. internally they feel pressure to do new evidence that is illuminating, revelatory never seen to get people to tune in one more time. it is frankly just summer. people are traveling, out of town. i guess i will be curious how successful they are in focusing, galvanizing a nation around their findings. >> as the deadline for start of the hearings slipped, their task got more difficult. curious if you have more reporting about the idea, one of the things the committee was trying to avoid not have what

happened with mueller happen with them, a lot of bomb shells leaked out well in advance of the final product being done here. is the committee in your reporting concerned their best stuff is already well known? >> reporter: some of the best stuff is certainly well known through various reporting from "new york times" and us and others. this reporting has been done all about text messages from mark meadows, the president's movement that day, about various aspects of the investigation. i think that's one challenge that they have. they privately say they have more detail than we know but they have mid level witnesses that are around, they have come forward, high level folks and i think that will be up to the public to judge whether they feel they understand the dynamics of this in any greater depth because of the committee.

>> katie, the committee has been openly asking for the doj for help in some cases by backing up their subpoenas. they got a little of that friday with doj charging peter navarro. they said they wouldn't charge mark meadows, dan scavino. talk about the interplay between the committee and how department of justice tracks or doesn't track with what the committee has been doing. >> reporter: there's been a lot of confusion about the overlap, lack of overlap between what the justice department is doing and the january 6 committee is doing. keep in mind, the january 6 committee has a lot of information, including hundreds of hours of transcripts of people that were involved in january 6, worked at the white house, understood the rally, have evidence that could help the justice department. the committee refused to turn any of that over to justice department so far. that's one way the investigations are separate. to your point, the committee asked the justice department to

please prosecute people that do not comply with subpoenas. this is very different from the justice department's own investigation. the doj investigation would exist even without requests from congress. that's been completed many times. what the committee has asked is something narrow. that this witness was asked to give information or come in and testify. they have not done so even with a criminal act. the justice department in some cases took information to a grand jury and the grand jury recently in the case of peter navarro and previously with steve bannon said yes, we believe there's no reason this witness should not have complied with the committee. these two men are very different from mark meadows and dan scavino. he didn't have any claim of executive privilege. peter worked on trade issues, had no claim to saying that there was a valid reason for his communication to be protected

vis-a-vis the election. also, he spoke extensively in public about the information that the committee wants. it is hard to say that it is a secret. meadows was chief of staff. he has more claim to executive privilege, much less likely justice department would return an indictment against him. >> navarro has done multiple interviews on this network on these topics. hard for him to make that argument now. thank you all for coming on. coming up, new threat from vladimir putin who warns he will expand his war to unspecified new areas if the u.s. and nato send long range weapons. as russia threatens attack in the east, ukrainians say they need more weapons to push back against the sheer volume of russian troops. >> keep wiping them away, they still bring more. it is like a dragon, you slash

in the east. the russians are focusing most of their fire power. this video released by ukrainian police shows the aftermath of a shelling attack in donbask. molly hunter is live from kharkiv with more. what's the latest on the ground there? >> reporter: hey, garrett, good afternoon. nice to be with you. we are heavily focused on the region where the fiercest fighting is. fighting is still dynamic. russia has not taken over the full city yet, but he had a statement i want to share. language is striking. the number of shellings and to a town west closer to ukrainian held territory, he says the number of shelling increased

tenfold. luhansk, many cities are comparable to mariupol. the russians are leveling it. the situation deteriorated. earlier this week we talked about no man's land, there was some ukrainian held territory. most is urban street combat. this is the closest to the front line. he visited kharkiv, but anytime we have seen him has been in kyiv or in kyiv region where he was. he wants to boost morale of troops seeing the fiercest of the country's war. he says i am proud of everybody i met, everyone i shook hands with, and everyone with whom i connected with and expressed my support over the weekend, garrett. we did see russia fire four cruise missiles at the capital, something we haven't seen. it was targeting strategic military aid from european countries.

the mayor of kyiv says that was just targeting civilians. >> we'll pick up with more on that with my next guest. molly hunter, thank you very much, please stay safe. i want to bring in retired brigadier general that served 2012 to 2014, author of swimming in the volga, memoir of his time in russia. president putin warned they would strike new targets if the u.s. and nato supplied ukraine with rocket systems to fire into russia. and sure enough, they launched air strikes on kyiv the first time in more than a month. how seriously should we take threats from putin and what do the new areas mean in his threats, talking kyiv and lviv or other parts of the country or expanded war? >> garrett, thank you for the question. vladimir putin is in the world

now of threats. when we hear that, we should not shy back. we have to remember that the russians began over 100 days ago an existential invasion of ukraine and ukrainians are fighting every which way possible and much of the free minded world, including our nation, is supporting ukrainians in this existential fight. this may involve long range artillery. how dare the russian president threaten, no. the ukrainians have every right to fire the best possible munitions to try to push back on a desperate defensive battle in eastern ukraine, the donbas. >> should the united states,

nato and allies put restrictions on weapons we give to ukrainians? you could fire into russia with this but don't? >> yeah. you know, to be honest, i waiver back and forth. my heart says give it to them and just fire. maybe because the russians fire from across the border, but again, there's my little more sober minded give them every capability they can to fire and reign hell on russian artillery inside, but i have to tell you, we're getting close where i think we're going to look aside, ukraine, fighting against a russian threat, including russian artillery on the russian side and let them have it. >> general, i feel like you're ready to get back out there, general. i want to ask about zelenskyy over the weekend. he was measured with remarks

visiting cities in the east, telling troops they deserve victory, suggesting not at any cost. do you get the sense he is trying to measure expectations? we talked about potentially how and when the war might end. >> first of all, what we are seeing again, you compare zelenskyy to putin. zelenskyy is showing true leadership. he was out on the frontlines on the edge of harm's way. where is putin on the border? that's really important. yes, he knows, he is reading the casualty counts. i don't think we exactly know how many ukrainian military and god forbid thousands of civilians that died in the last 100 days, but he has to measure that. and he has to measure what we call correlation of forces. can ukrainians push the russians

out? well, as long as they want to fight and push them out, we should support them. >> you make a point about putin, for a guy who made his public image on hyper masculinity, riding a horse shirtless, hiking in siberia, the pinnacle of manhood, haven't seen him on the front line or trying to buck up troops the same way we have seen with zelenskyy. i appreciate your expertise. thank you for coming on with us today. >> always. thank you. imagine for a minute being a doctor and needing to explain to a person why their loved one isn't coming home. many health care professionals have to do that, not because of illness and things like covid but because of gun violence. at 17 years old, my next guest was shot in the throat and nearly killed, is now a trauma surgeon. says gun killings in the u.s. are a public health problem. his message to lawmakers working on gun legislation next. on gun legislation next. seen it. trust me, after 15 walks it gets a little old.

i have learned a lot about the rest of the family, it was really finding gold. one of my grandfathers, didn't even know his birthdate. i figured out the exact year he was born. the census records fill in gaps, it helped me push the door open. hi, i'm steve and i live in austin, texas. i work as a personal assistant the census records fill in gaps, to the owner of a large manufacturing firm. i've got anywhere from 10 to 50 projects going at any given time. i absolutely have to be sharp. let me tell ya, i was struggling with my memory. it was going downhill. my friend recommended that i try prevagen and over time, it made a very significant difference in my memory and in my cognitive ability. i started to feel a much better sense of well-being. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

as the debate on capitol hill over gun violence continues, leaders in cities and towns across america are begging for action. some fear it won't come. speaking to "new york times," the wisconsin mayor said half the conversation is about how can we let people die unnecessarily and half the conversation is i need my gun, it is my constitutional right. we're not talking at the same table about it. he is a survivor of gun violence himself. i have to tell you, i went from uvalde to the nra convention back to uvalde two weeks ago when this started, the idea about two conversations rings true to me. i wonder what you make of that challenge in the debate and how we can fix it if we even can. >> good morning, garrett. thanks for having me. thanks for the incredible coverage.

what we are seeing happening in america day after day, where we wake up with senseless tragedies, it is horrific. all of us as americans should be frankly ashamed. i come to the conversation not just as a trauma surgeon but as a survivor of gun violence. while we talk about mass shootings and they pick up a lot of attention, every day we have people in cities like baltimore and philadelphia and chicago that are being slaughtered on our streets. so we have the opportunity and responsibility to approach this as a public health problem. we think about how do we work together across different sectors in a multi facetted way to tackle gun related injuries we see on a daily basis. >> glad you mentioned shootings in other cities. i think about it all the time. i was a local reporter.

there were shootings every day in communities i worked in. how do you get around mass shootings drive interest in this to the degree there is any on capitol hill but the day to day gun crimes and gun violence that are taking so many people away from their families forever. >> yeah. exactly. i mean, every day i have to come face to face with the horrific reality of gun violence in our country. and frankly the american public has been shielded from this. you know, we have to deliver babies to mothers who are dead from gun violence, we have to operate on children who are frankly barely clinging to life because of guns not being locked and safely stored. and like so many of my colleagues across the public health space we are frankly sick and tired of seeing death and destruction that continues to happen. look at this past weekend.
