twitter and gram, be sure to follow the show on line. thank so much for the privilege of your time. garrett haake picks up with more news right now. right now ♪♪ good morning, i'm garrett haake in washington. this hour, we should have been in the middle of another hearing by the january 6th committee. but now we will have to wait until tomorrow for that next hearing. but in the last hour, we did just get new video from the committee. you are seeing it there on your screen. it's been released as part of a letter from chairman bennie thompson to republican congressman barry louder milk of gentleman. thompson says the surveillance footage shows louder milk led a tour on january 5th. more on that in moments. plus, new details about what we can expect to hear at the committee's next hearing tomorrow. a big focus. the pressure vice president mike

pence faced to refuse to count lawful electoral votes. earlier on "morning joe," january 6th committee member adam schiff previewed the hearing and the seriousness of the committee's work. >> you can expect to see stuff you haven't seen before interwoven with things you have, but to tell the story in, i hope, a compelling way. our democracy today is more vulnerable than it was on january 6th because the lie that brought about that violence continues to -- to proliferate around the country. >> also on capitol hill, the gun deal framework just got a big en --ment from republican leader, mitch mcconnell. ahead i will talk to democratic senator debbie stabenow whose own mental health legislation is now part of that framework deal. do you remember 1994? pulp fiction was in theaters. "the sign" by ace of base was the number one son. now, the fed is raising interest

levels to rates not seen since that year. how that affects you and everything you buy, from gas to groceries in moments. we start with new details about congressman louder milk and what we can expect to hear in the january 6th committee hearing when they resume tomorrow. joining me now, alley vitally -- and joyce vance. anna, i will start with you since your team at punch bowl was the first to report on congressman louder milk this morning. want to read what thompson wrote? surveillance footage shows a tour of approximately ten individuals led buy you to areas in the three office buildings as well as the entrances to the tunnels leading to the u.s. capitol. he goes on, individuals on the tour photographed and recorded areas of the complex not typically of much interest to

tourists including hallways, staircases and security checkpoints. congressman louder milk repeatedly called the accusations that he gave the likes of a reconnaissance tour to anybody. the areas are weird. tunnels, staircases in the base men. what more are you learning? >> as the investigation into this tour continues to happen over quite a while. democrats are pressed for information. but this video is telling. you and i have spent a lot of time. this is not epic hallways or statues that are known for where tourists take photos. these are where there are security checkpoints. it is very concerning, i think, and they are going to have a lot of questions here. louder milk has been very

defensive about his role and that this tour was business as usual. as we all know, there weren't tours happening on january 5th. it was the height of covid and there was not a lot of people in the building and he was doing that. >> the committee invited louder milk to visit with them on may 19th. correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe even this person was not arrested for anything on the 6th. so there is not a legal part of it yet, but is there potential legal exposure here for the congressman or is this just a problem of what he says not lining up with what the tape shows? >> sure. so, i suppose there is the potential, if, for instance, he entered into an agreement with these folks to help them find pressure points in the capitol's defenses. well, he might be in a lot of trouble. if, on the other hand, these

folks came in and asked for a tour and he gave the tour and noticed nothing out of the ordinary, it would be a different situation. but you know, what you suppose, that if that were the case, if he had been duped or taken advantage of by these people, he would be eager to testify, eager to share his story with the january 6th committee, and that doesn't seem to be the case, at least so far. >> louder milk says these are just constituents. the videos is out there. i retweeted it. folks can view it ate home and figure out what they think about it. alley, let's move on to tomorrow. tomorrow is going to focus on the former president's pressuring his own vp to refuse to count votes on the 6th. what more are we learn being what to expect tomorrow? >> i think the name of the day tomorrow may well be john eastman. it is a name you and i and the rest of the panel know well

because we have been following along with this investigation. but he is one of the key lawyers who was a part of the strategy within the trump orbit to overturn the election results. his emails have been at the center of various court cases. it is particularly important because in that court case in california the committee likes to point to this judge that says there is a likelihood of something criminal wrongdoing in these email inside eastman to various parties within the trump orbit. that's a retrain we hear regularly from committee members when we ask them questions about criminal exposure here. but i think, et cetera notable that in the clip released yesterday on twitter from liz cheney and the committee sort of teasing ahead to tomorrow's hearing, they don't just include their regular refrain. they also include something from trump lawyer eric hirschman we haven't heard before where he says he advisedeseman in realtime the day after january 6th that he was going to need a good criminal defense lawyer. now, just because someone advises you to get a criminal defense lawyer doesn't mean they

know you have done something criminally wrong. but what we put together is there were concerns that there might be criminal exposure inside the trump orbit in real time. of course that's going they are going to extrapolate out further, greg with greg jacob who was with former vice president mike pence at the capitol on january 6th and traded colorful emails with eastman and how he thinks that eastman was one of the reasons to blame for why the vice president was huddled in a safe place. >> ali, i want to play eric hirschman, the white house lawyer, talking about his conversation with john eastman. >> he started to ask me about something dealing with georgia, preserving something, potentially, for appeal.

and i said to him, are you out of your ef f'ing min. i told him, did go a get ef f'ing criminal defense lawyer, you are going to need it. >> this antiwasn't the opinion of some guy off the street. this was the opinion of a white house lawyer who had been involved in this whole process, joyce, what are you making of that conversation which we will hear the details of tomorrow? >> hirschman was right. that was the best legal advice anyone has ever gotten. andeseman asserted the fifth amendment right to avoid incriminating himself and said he wouldn't answer questions during his sit-down with the committee. hopefully that means he got that advice. you know, we have seen no indication that john eastman is

interested in telling the truth and cooperating with the committee. but that would be a bold move and a brave move and the right thing to do for eastman. he could in many ways play the role of a john dean here. he is a well educated lawyer, clerked for a fine judge which we will hear in the hearings. but that's not likely what we will hear as we move into the pence world part of these hearings. we will hear about a sustained campaign to convince the vice president to do something illegal in order to steal the election for trump and the premise for all of this, and what i anticipate we will hear a lot about is the likelihood that this call came down to pence. in other words, if he had done this, if he had gone along with the eastman plan, it night not have been possible to successfully challenge it in court because courts often use something called the political questions doctrine to stay out of these questions involving how congress should conduct its business. we were very close to a dangerous breaking point here.

this is going to be a critical moment in the committee's presentation of evidence. >> you know, ali talked about eastman as a key player we are going to meet. i think mark short, who was vice president's chief of staff, my reporting indicated we should probably expect hear a lot of him on tape as a key person in all of these moments tomorrow. anna, i want to come back to you here. i want to play for you an exchange i had with mitchell yesterday about these hearings and his relative interest level in them. i will ask you about it on the other side. take a listen. back in december you told us you would be interested in what the january 6th was doing, you would be watching and what they have found. what do you make of what they have found so far? >> i don't remember saying i would be watching. i am focusing on what we are doing here in the senate. >> mcconnell said twice in december, both in a news -- i believe it was a spectrum news interview and to reporters on

the hill that he was paying attention to what they were doing. he never committed to watching the hearings. he has been someone who has made his own thoughts about the 6th quite public. i am curious what you make about the degree to which the senate side is paying attention to these hearings and whether thinking we are doing is affecting the thinking of any senate members, republicans in particular? >> it is an interesting shift in perspective, but when i interviewed john grasso, part of the leadership team last night and he has a similar take. they are not focusing on jik. they are focused on the midterm election. they want to focus on the business of the senate. they clearly don't want to comment directly about what is happening. a couple other members that i talked to said they are not even watching it. i think that is going to be the strategy that they are going to have throughout this entire process. they are trying divorce themselves from this and move forward. >> for what it's worth that seems to be the house republican

strategy, too. on monday night i was looking for house republicans trying to see what their pushback was to what the committee was saying. and they were just not talking about it, focused on other issues. i think it is going to be interesting to watch as the weeks wear on ali, anna, joyce thank you for getting us started. more news here, the alleged gunman in the buffalo supermarket mass shooting is now facing federal hate crime starges this. charge the department of justice filed multiple hate crime charges against suspect. he now faces 26 counts of federal hate kreitz and other offenses which carry a possible death sentence. according to the complaint the motive for the shooting was to prevent black people from replacing white people and eliminating the white race. he has pled not guilty to state domestic terrorism charges. and it is a big shift in the senate. republican mitchell says he supports the framework for the diplomat gun reform deal after years of opposing new gun laws.

what changed? we will break it down. and i will talk to the senate behind one of the deal's key provisions on mental health funding. first, what to expect from the federal reserve's rate height hike decision this afternoon. car loan rates could go up but it could help get the spiraling cost of gas and grocery and represents under control. >> rent keeps increasing. who knows when it is going to get to a point where it is okay, i can't afford this nip, where am i supposed to live? d to live? ? i mean, "riders" is cool, but "bikers"...is really cool. -seriously? -denied. can we go back to meeting at the rec center? the commute here is brutal. denied. how do we feel about getting a quote to see if we can save with america's number one motorcycle insurer? should flo stop asking the same question every time? -approved! -[ altered voice ] denied!

all eyes are on the federal reserve as it is expected to announce it is raising interest rates for the third time, likely raising rates by 3/4 of a point, the largest increase since 1994. it is an aggressive step to try to tamp down inflation. the anticipated rate hike sending stocks falling and the s&p dipping further into bear market territory. as we look at the boards right

now, the markets are up for the moment but down for the week. gas is still sitting at an all-time high, now at $5.01 per gallon on average. now president biden is calling out oil companies, sending a letter to the top refiners demanding answers about production writing, quote, i understand that many factors contributed to the business decisions to reduce refinery capacity which took place before i took office. but passing the cost to american families is not acceptable. joining me now, dominic chu and january 6th object ward at a food deliberation center. dom, the president is asking many of the same questions that americans have on their minds, are the oil companies taking advantage, are they price gouging? what effect does a letter like this have on production levels? is this the president trying to be caught doing something on this issue?

>> it is a level all of those things, garrett, to be frank and honest about it. you have a situation in america right now where, yes, fuel costs are on this kind of runaway path to the upside right now. a lot of it has to do with the supply-demand dynamic. there is just not enough supply out there to be turned into or refined into things like gasoline, distillates or other types of fuel. would you also have a seasonal time this time of year where summer travel demand is surging, so there are a lot more people who are demanding that kind of fuel. that's one thing. the other thing about refinery is interesting only because the number of refineries we have in america is fairly capped. there has been no real refinery brought offline. that means built and put on line, in years at this point now, and it is hard to actually put witness of those together. to actually build a refinery, get the land, get everything together, the permits required, it takes years to put one into

service. the refineries currently available to the u.s. right now are generally running at 90% utilization. you will hear that term referred to, utilization rates at refineries, which means most refineries in america are pumping close to or refining as much as they can. unless you have more refineries out there it is hard to put more fuel out there. with regard to the issue president biden brings up, the refinery mother-in-laws are getting wider and wider. but it is not because necessarily that refiners are physically taking oil and then selling them for a higher price. many of the profitability measures that the president is citing are due to financial contracts in the futures market. those are bid up by people like speculators and hedger as well. it is a very complicated issue. but the bottom line here is, unless there is a change to the overall paradigm or construct for energy in america, you are not going the see widespread relief until there is actually more refining capacity brought

on line here in america. >> right, and there is no switch you can flip to do that quickly. dom, let's talk about the fed announcement today. i struggled in my econ classes in high school and college. what is this federate hike going to do to the wallets of average americans? to people's savings. how can folks look at what can seem like a faraway issue that is going to effect them quickly i man no in a rising rate environment savers benefit. you might have seen notices from your bank saying hey your savings rate has gone up by this fraction of a percentage point. meanwhile, if you are a borrower, those interest rates are going up as well. it is about different perspectives, whether you are a buyer or a saver. the bulk of the economy is

driven by consumer spending. the issue right now is the more people spend on things like food and for fuel, the necessities, they spend less on things that they want, but do not need, the so-called discretionary items. what we got earlier this morning was a number from the government saying that retail sales unexpectedly fell in the month going from april into may. now, the reason why that's important is it might indicate that those higher fuel prices, the higher food prices, are finally starting to take a toll on the american wallet. they are spending less on other things because they have to spend so much on food and fuel. now, for the fed, garrett, this is what's going to happen. the wed will raise interest rates. there is no doubt about it. because they have to, to tamp this inflation picture. the issue is by how much and what they signal for the future. because the fed has to kind of toe this fine line right now about trying to bring down inflation for food, fuel, and everything else -- real estate, stocks, bonds, you name it --

while not sendsing the country into a reseg. that will be key. >> a very fine line to walk. so, jake, i mean, dominic set you up here, this idea that demand is high, costs are up, food is expensive. food banks are seeing a rise in their costs and a decrease in donations. how are they managing? >> garrett, that's absolutely right. we are seeing food banks squeezed between two forces here. this one -- let me give you a sense of where i am at. this is the alameda county community food bank. this is not a public agency. it is a privately organized volunteer organization. it three times a week distributes food like you are seeing here to 1,000 or more families. things being given out of course stone fruits, do you keepies, hard goods, rice, milk, pasta. all this accounts for one family. they are giving out more than 1,000 of these three times a

week. and this is one of just 400 agencies in this county alone giving out this kind of support. think about it this way. this organization, before the pandemic, with a spend being $250,000 a month on the food. and the produce itself is for the most part donated. it doesn't actually cost anything. it is the shipping it here, the packaging, everything else, that they have to pay for. it used to be $250,000 a month. right now, it's $1.5 million a month. that's how much more expensive it is to distribute food to those who need i had in america. you can see around us as we stand here the barometer of how people are doing. the number of people walking in increased as fuel prices increased. 50 people would come in when fuel prices were where they were back in january. right now we have nearly 200 people standing in linen a three-day a week basis. that's not counting the more

than 500 cars we to see. each one we expect will be picking up for multiple families because nobody wants to blow the fuel on just one family's pickup. this is absolutely a place where you are seeing the incredible need in america being answered by an organization that is being hemmed in by both the costs of distribution and the incredible demand that we are seeing growing here, garrett. >> jake ward and dom chu thank you both for your reporting on the hard times for people's wallets. turning now to the coronavirus pandemic, where protection may soon be on the way for the roughly 18 million american children under 5. a panel of outside experts convened by the fda are now reviewing pfizer's and moderna's vaccine for babies and toddlers. pfizer is asking the fda to approve a three dose vaccine. and moderna is asking for a two dose vaccine for kids ages 6 months to 5 years. joining me, dr. john torres.

what do we expect to come out of these meetings? >> jake, exactly -- garrett, exactly what we are talking about here is the same thing we have seen time time again with the vaccinations. right now the fda advisory committee is meeting. they are going to make a decision and more than likely will approve the emergency use authorization for the vaccines. then the fda commissioner will sign off on that. friday and saturday the cdc will meet, asip, their advisory committee and dr. wall enski will approve it and they will try to get the vax means moving out to this age group. this age group is lacking protection. that protection is needed because we are still in the pandemic. even though people have grown tired of it, it is not in the news as much, the pandemic is still out there and causing problems. this age group is not protected because they haven't had a vaccine until now. the effectiveness is one of the things they are looking at, 340 moderna, 45 to 50% against

symptomatic illness. we expect that be the to be higher against hospitalizations, severe disease and deaths. i think the process will go the way it normally goes and it will hopefully happen soon. >> a recent sizer family foundation survey found only one in five families with kids under 5 said they would get their kids vaccinated right away once this new program is authorized. what would you say to parents who are on the fence about vaccinating their kids, including parents who have been vaccinated themselves, obviously? >> i think what is happening here is a few things of as a parent i can tell you i am much more readily wanting to vaccinate myself versus my kid. i looked into more detail as to the vaccine, the side effects, awful those things. also information coming out throughout the pandemic that it might not affect kids as much. but we do know it affects kids. long-term covid is an effect as

at well. look at your child, your own situation, are they exposed frequently, do they have other health problems, is there a concern about long-term covid and then make that decision for our family, with you, your health care provider, your children, with everyone involved. but think heavily about getting the vaccines because much like the flu vaccine, it can help them from the severe illness, hospitalizations and deaths which at the end of the day is what we really want to vaccines to do. >> dr. john torres, thank you for breaking it all down? >> you bet. >> after the sandy hook massacre, senate minority leader mitchell used the filibuster to stop a bipartisan offer to strengthen lawn laws, but now he is supporting the deal coming through the senate. why the shift? could it get a vote soon? next. could it get a vote soon next moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill,

this is crucial for this legislation to get beyond 60 votes and pass the senate. sahil kapur joins me now. let's talk about what the minority leader's support means about this bill's chances for becoming law and then becoming effective out in the countryons once it does become law. >> right. it is a striking turnaround for mitch mcconnell and shows how much the political landscape has changed. sub herbs have become the new swing voters in the united states and mcconnell doesn't want them the land firmly in the democratic column. which is why he supports tougher gun laws after years of working to kill them. he tends to be a good indicator whether a bill has enough republican votes to defeat a filibuster. in this case, john cornyn insists his ten republicans who signed the reform bill are rock solid. but there are those who want the

leadership's stamp of approval. beyond that the net effective question is crucial. they are sign designed as money for states. they can take and it implement it or refuse it. the bigger is vote is, the more bipartisan the bill is the more hickly red states in particular are to take that money and implement it. mcconnell's support means a bigger bipartisan vote most likely and it means more red states are more like owe to accept the money, implement the bill than refuse it or try to sabotage it. >> appreciate the reporting. mcconnell is never going object the 60th vote but if he is your 61st, maybe you will get closer to 70. interesting the watch. joining me now, a member the bipartisan gun group, senator debbie stabenow of michigan. i understand this morning there have been complications of turning the framework into actual text. can you give an update on where you guys are on righting this

bill and do you have confidence everything announced in the framework will be in the final bill? >> garrett, it is great to be with you. there are always hiccups at the end. i have been involved in a lot of complicated negotiations over my lifetime here in the senate. and there is always something that comes up at the end. so a couple of things. they are not insurmountable. folks are new yorking on them right now. on the mental health side of things -- folks are working on them right now. on the mental health side of things we are getting things together. the language we need to tie down we are doing. and on the other side, most of it is tied down. and i know there is a great sense of. >>entsy. and frankly, you were talking about senator mcconnell. that's a very important indication that we will have broad bipartisan support to get this done. and i want to thank everyone -- this is happening because the people in the country have risen up and said enough is enough. we don't want to live like this. >> senator, i am curious about

your state of michigan. michigan doesn't have a red flag law. you and i talked about this little bit. >> right. >> you have a democratic govern or who would surely sign one. >> right. >> do you think either the incentives in this framework or a bipartisan path that's for would take the idea that that's a democratic feeling, a red flag law put a state like michigan put a law like this in practice? >> our state has a lot of maga republicans in it. on the other hand, they are hearing like all of us are in michigan from families across the state, people who are so afraid to send their children to school, or even to go shopping or worship. and people really have had enough. and so my feeling is that there is a chance that the state legislature will do it now. but we also have a very

competitive map drawn for our state legislature. and if the republicans aren't being to put in place red flag laws and other common sense gun laws, then a democratic state house and democratic state senate will. so i think ultimately if they don't act it becomes a big issue for the fall election. >> senator, you and roy blunt wrote the mental health portion of this. it started as a pilot program in ten states. it is going to expand. i am curious what you make of the criticism that by including the mental health portion of it you give credence to those who say it isn't a gun issue, it is a mental health issue. what do you say. >> first, this is a gun issue, we have to be doing things that are moving forward that are meaningful on gun safety, no matter what. but we also have huge efforts that we need to put forward to

have comprehensive community mental health and addiction services across this country. now, i have said so many times that one of five people in our country will have a mental illness. they are much more likely to be a victim of a crime than perpetrate one. we also know, though, that when you are getting a military assault weapon and going into a school with the purpose of gunning down children, obviously, there is instability there. for sure. but this is a moment to do really important things in the community, in schools, to embrace the fact that mental health services should be treated as health care and be available throughout the country. so i am going to take this moment to do that because that's important and we want to have everyone have the opportunity to get help that they need, if it is health care above the neck as

well as health care below the neck. at the same time it doesn't take away anything we need to be doing on guns. >> as somebody who comes from the state with the worst mental health care access, it is important to me and the nation. coming up, one of former president trump's top republican candidates lost, but nancy mace hung on. she was critical after january 6th but quickly turned that on. does that support of trump including the video she filmed outside of trump tower in february make a difference. >> congresswoman nancy mace here. i am in front of trump tower today. i remember in 2015 when president trump announced his run. i was one of his early supporter. i worked at season of different states across the country to help get him elected. help get him elected

what are the key wins last night? >> you mentioned it, here is the republican congressman tom rice in south carolina's sevenths district who voted to impeach donald trump. this was the first time we had seen this setup, where a republican who voted for impeachment ran and faced republican voters against a challenger backed by donald trump. that's russel fry, a state ledges will iter. here's the verdict. couldn't be clearer. fry trounces rice better than 2 to 1. the only we was would fry break 50% and win outright to avoid a runoff? he does that as well. tom rice, the congress bhan who voted for impeachment is wiped out. he's out of office. russel fry wins the primary handily. in south carolina, in the first quarter, charleston, the low country. more of a complicated test. trump backing katie arrington, the i thinker to freshman congressman nancy mace in this race. mace voiced disapproval,

condemnation of donald trump's behavior on and around january 6th last year but then seemed to pivot a bit in the rest of her term in congress trying to make peace with trump voters speaking positively of the former president. was that the difference maker in this district? she survives the margin here, looks like it will be eight points. nancy mays winning in south carolina's first district in the republican primary. then look at what happened out in nevada. a couple races to highlight here. the marquee race this fall is going to be the senate. catherine cortez masto the democratic running for re-election. this is a swing state. biden won it but by two points, in 2020. the question is, who would be running against masto. the answer, laxalt.

the other race in nevada from a trump influenced standpoint is the secretary of state spot in nevada. a chief election officer, responsible for certifying the election. it is an open seat. the incumbent not running for re-election. jim march ant wins the republican primary. he is a leader in the national movement denying that trump lost the 2020 election. he wins this republican primary. he says -- he says, had he been secretary of state, he would have refused to certify this result. he's now the republican nominee for secretary of state. nevada is very competitive this fall. if he wins that election this fall he would be in office for the 2024 presidential election with the potential to refuse to certify a result, which is what he said he would have done in 2020. >> don't sleep on nevada. i keep feeling like it is going to be one of the most interesting battleground states

this fall. von, you are down in charlotte ton. it was a split decision for trump in the palmetto state. what are you seeing on the ground down there? >> let's be clear about big picture, why south carolina, these two races, matter here. donald trump is using his political capital ahead of a potential 2024 presentation run to build the republican party that is loyal to him. and that is where you have seen -- last year there were some notable republican members of congress who announced retirement like adam kin ginger, katko, gonzalez, fred upton, johnson, april announcing his decision. that is why tom rice here in south carolina is so noteworthy, because he did give it a go. he tried to run against a trump-backed challenger. you look at those results, after a decade in congress, garrett, here in just 25% of the vote. that is where nancy mace

ultimately was able to squeeze out a win here. she will likely win and head to a second term. she is an interesting character in all of this. she didn't vote to impeach him but she called for his censuring. that's why i want to you hear not just from russel fry, the republican who beat tom rice up in the northern part of south carolina but also the question i laid out to nancy mace after her win last night. listen. >> today the conservatives in the republican party won. today, donald trump won. and today, the voters of the seventh congressional district won. >> donald trump tried to oust you from the republican party. what is your message to donald trump now? >> my message is the same to him as it is to anybody else on either side of the isle. i am willing to work with anyone who is willing to work with me. full stop. >> garrett, we are at the halfway point of these crucial

peoplearies. donald trump endorsed candidates are not winning all of these but he is picking up some notable victories, tom rice at the forefront of them. >> interesting data as we look ahead to the liz cheney primary later in the summer is going to be a big one you are watching. right now a group of ukrainians are hunkered down in eastern done, et cetera as a fight for the key ukrainian city rages. they are still waiting for many of the weapons they have been promised by the west. next. promised by the west next no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company.

sheltering under that chemical plant. among them, 40 children. this is a scenario that is like you said in a lot of ways reminiscent to what happened in mariupol. we are still hearing horrific stories from people who have survived that ordeal. i met one man here in kyiv who escaped from there. he talked about what life was there under russian occupation and how he had to bribe russian soldiers to get out of the area. listen. >> translator: i was thrown out of the car. i was put on my knees. and i heard the rifle behind my back. at that point, i was ready to die. i wasn't scared. i felt that was it. it's a shame, but that is what it is.
