and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. it has helped me an awful lot. this is the katie phang show, prevagen. healthier brain. better life. live from miami florida. we have a lot of news to cover, and a lot of questions to answer. donald trump, potentially eyeing an early announcement for 2024 presidential run. this is scrutiny over his actions on january 6th, intensifies. and a slew of other potential gop candidates, look ready to take him on. i will speak with democratic pollster, fernand amandi. as abortion bans commence fight and states across the united states, some district attorneys are vowing not to prosecute
4:01 am
pushing cases. i will speak with one of those theories ahead. later, men are -- major developments in uvalde texas. in the wake of the massacre at robb elementary, but why did it take so long? i will speak with the former mayor of san antonio, about that and more. a good sunday morning to you all. happy fourth of july. i am katie fang. this morning american airlines bounced back from a holiday travel nightmare. a glitch in the scheduling platform, drop power to stop thousands of flights for the month. it says, it has resorted most of the flights. it's the latest addition to summer travel stress. from weekends of severe storms, getting on to a flight from almost any airline, has been a
4:02 am
hassle. maggie vespa is live for us at chicago's o'hare international with the latest. maggie? >> he katie good morning. we've been talking for weeks now for headaches about hairlines. this feels like a migraine for american hairlines. basically a glitch in the airline schedule the platform, allowing pilots to -- essentially drop flights is back. they had to schedule vacations or days, off this was a free-for-all for, but was resulting, in 12,000 flights across the month of july, having no pilot, or no first officer. at least for a day or so, until this glitch was caught. the american airlines confirmed having suspended the platform, they're investigating the clutch, they also say they have restored most of those flights. should not impact them. this is the latest in the series of hotspots of this travel chaos. just this week in particular,
4:03 am
we had severe storms up and down the east coast. resulting in major stops. we've had pilots picketing, most recently in atlanta, accusing delta airlines of overbooking flights and exhausting the ranks of pilots that they have. especially in the wake of mass early retirements, during the pandemic. all of this coinciding with, as you can see, a very busy fourth of july travel weekend. 13 million people are salado -- to fly over the long independence weekend. that will be the busiest travel weekend since the pandemic began. so these elements of chaos, what can passengers do? experts say, definitely come to the airport, even earlier than you normally would. more than two hours in advance, in case you in canada long lines. sign up for your airlines alert system as well, so if you do have, hopefully not, but if you have a canceled flight, you can find out as early as possible,
4:04 am
and make a backup plan. katie? >> thanks to many vespa in hostile and bustle in o'hare. officials are bracing for more protests, as we get set to release body cam footage, of the fatal shooting of a black man. the shooting happened after a police chase. jalen walker's attorney says, he was shot 60 times. msnbc news correspondent has more. >> in akron ohio, fourth of july celebrations are canceled. instead the city is bracing for protests. >> tensions rise this week, following the deadly police shooting of deadly -- according to walker's family, authorities told the family at least eight police officers fired more than 90 shots. 60 of them striking walker. >> i'm sick, as a mother.
4:05 am
that it came to that. if they would have spent five minutes, with him, it would death never ended that way. >> police say he poses the threat, starting with his refusal to comply with the traffic stop. police say they heard shots fired from walker's vehicle. he eventually fell from his car, eventually leading to a foot chase, which ended in a parking lot. they have seen the police body cam footage video, that shows what happens next. >> they are smoking, one of the officers previous empty, reloads with a folk wig you see all of this in six seconds. >> police say, a gun those rural -- >> as the pursuit goes on, other officers that are responding, know that a pharmacist change. they believe they are in this
4:06 am
pursuit the these officers have fired upon. >> is there any chance that he fired up a police officers at any point? >> i don't know. i did not see anything like that is where, we do that the investigations allowed to play itself out statesboro of criminal investigations will participate, and investigate to the shooting. >> thanks to george sylvie's. we will turn to january 6th. and a growing special of -- donald trump to be eyeing in early 2024 presidential announcement, as the criticism over his actions on that day grows louder. new york times says trump is hoping to blood at the station. from witnesses like cassidy hutchinson. some republicans fear saying announcing that, will throw a wrench into the parties plants, in order to get control --
4:07 am
even members of his own team, reportedly have doubts about his political standing. despite being the most popular figure in the american republican party right now, they can actually see trump isn't out a dog in 2024. i'm joined by msnbc political analyst, and democratic pollster, fernand amandi. he's also the vice president and principle of among the principal. first i'd like to get your reaction, said the reporting that trump has actually accelerated his campaign clammy and it isn't wreaths -- will be the fallout for announcing so early, before the midterms? >> katie, it would be classic donald trump. to deal with impending crisis, which right now, is really senior six hearings. by creating another crisis, this time within the republican party. this trump lawyer can be a
4:08 am
spill it would help him avoid earlier vacations when food put on the table. based on a situation, and hutchinson's testimony, they are going to have to act and that action is probably going to end up in a dike meant against trump for seditious conspiracy. having said that, having said that, trump said if i am a political candidate, it cannot allow him the ability to say that it is a legal witch hunt instead of saying that it's based on reality. other thing is, he's trying to offset the charge of what has happened in the first time in the republican era. he has a senator, some might say even air so dirrell isn't this. we know that, because you start to see, and the republican primary polls where president, ron desantis is a competitive
4:09 am
saint alternative to trump. in some cases, he's jansen and trump says, let me do it i can to help stop any moment from desantis a political campaign means, campaign contributions. it means he's never going to try to stop to vacuum those up, that's why i think you see them bulldozing into this earlier now summit with the schedule. the impact on the midterms, we'd be damned. >> one strategist fernand, told market watch, june of 2022, will be remembered as the month that quote finished off donald trump. saying that he did not, he may not get indicted, or lost altitude in the party. more and more of his own supporters, are telling poll takers like you and others, that one turn is enough. our republicans really ready, to quit trump?
4:10 am
>> i remember the weekend that the infamous grab him by the you know wet video came out. we've heard these same types of pronouncements. i do not think until he is vanquished in his preferred field of combat. you can say that definitively e i question whether these republican contenders in 2024 will stay in the, race or maintain their sights on trump, if they do stay in the race, which is always going to be the big issue here. the trump republican party is a cult, donald trump is very much the cult leader. he has a very loyal and solid base. he would have to absolutely plummet, and i just frankly don't think we are there yet with republican primary voters. until then when that happens, he's legally barred from running because he's indicted from jail. i still think trump is the
4:11 am
colossus in the republican party. >> quickly fernand. i have less than a minute. i want to show you this video out of showing several members for patriot front, marching and some of them carrying police flags fernand this comes just weeks after 31 members of that group were arrested in a pride event in idaho. what do you think is the uptake for this activity? you think republicans are embracing these things, due to replacement theory? >> this is something they have been snowing for decades. white supremacy, something that is even tolerable, it's something that we have seen breakthrough in the last five years. we have not seen the party white condemnation that we
4:12 am
hoped for. i think it's a classic case of feeling emboldened. it's also where the justice department and the fbi now, say that domestic terrorism, these white supremacy misses groups are white terrorists. one of the greatest existential threats that the country is currently facing. >> fernand amandi, thank you for joining us this holiday weekend. i appreciate it. >> happy fourth. >> coming up, it's one thing for us to learn donald trump wanted to allow armed rioters to descend upon the capital. but that extraordinary and shocking revelation, it hits differently for those who actually were there that day, defending the capital, from an attempted coup. coming up, my interview with capitol police officer, harry dunn. and what went through his mind as he heard the disturbing testimony, from cassidy hutchinson. as abortions become illegal in many red states across the country, the decision to bring

4:17 am
now that the supreme court has overturned roe v. wade, democratic leaders in red and purple states are trying to figure out how to respond. more than 80 district attorneys have signed a letter vowing not to prosecute abortion cases regardless of state restrictions or outright bans. those moves are expected to face legal challenges from conservative attorneys generals and legislators. just to attorney for the west and traditional circuit in athens, clark, and -- counties is one of the prosecutors who signed that letter and joins me now. >> good morning, it's a pleasure to have you on the show this morning. we know georgia right now is
4:18 am
awaiting a federal court's decision on whether it's law that bans most abortions after six week can take fact. tell our viewers about that law and your decision not to prosecute those types of cases. >> well good morning, katie, thank you so much for having me here to talk about this very important topic that we are all facing in this country. yes. georgia legislative session has passed a law stating that, sometimes called the heartbeat bill or six-week bill, that they would then prohibit certain abortions at that moment. now that law has been held up in a lawsuit and the first federal judge had put a hold on that law, but now that we have this new decision and dobbs which basically overturned roe v. wade, we are very concerned that than the georgia federal judge will impact stop that hold and allow that law to come
4:19 am
into effect. >> so, debra, i'm a former prosecutor for many years in a primary iteration of my career. can you explain though, for people to understand this concept, of prosecutorial discretion. people are listening and see laws, but as law-abiding citizens they follow them. why is it that you can choose not to actually enforce or prosecute certain laws? >> thank you for that question. the first thing i want to say is that prosecutorial discretion is not anything new. it has existed since we have had prosecutors. prosecutors have always had the ability and authority to decide which pieces to charge, who to charge, will charges to actually put on that person, and then make certain recommendations for the sentencing. now there are lot of decisions that go into our decisions whether to prosecute cases or certain charges for a
4:20 am
particular individuals. in this scenario, but we are looking at and most of us who signed the pledge are looking at, are very limited resources. especially right after a covid pandemic that basically shut down most of our jury trials in courts for almost 18 months. so, one of the things that we have to look at is our obligation to keep our communities safe. how can we best do that with the limited resources that we have? so, what happens when you criminalize things like looking for reproductive health services for women or abortion, in the scenario. that will then divert much needed resources, limited resources, for us being able to prosecute more serious felonies such as murder, child molestations, sexual abuse, those kinds of things. it will take our resources away from those so that then we have to focus on these low level,
4:21 am
low safety impact kind of charges. that is why we have stood up and said this is not the right approach for this. the other thing we are concerned about is our obligation is also keeping our victims safe. but we will see is that these kinds of laws then sort of eliminate wire make it very difficult for victims to come forward, because they feel that instead of getting help for what has happened to them, they will be held responsible and in fact charged with some legal crime that they have committed. >> debra, let's be clear though, you can reasonably anticipate some level of pushback, right? the protection that you and other prosecutors are promising are kind of limited. there are some states with abortion restrictions with an attorney general with a big red state him little blue da's. there was attorney general can intervene. they can bring cases, even if
4:22 am
you choose not to. what happens? is it a little battle royal where each jurisdiction of each of those red states figures out what happens in each case? >> well, usually what happens is -- yes. the attorney general can take cases. in georgia, we've seen legislation passes where eeg's move away from the local district attorney's. but we are looking at, to, is an in georgia district attorneys are elected. they are locked by their communities and their communities elect them because they feel that that particular individual will approach justice the way that that community wants to do. now, there's always pushback against prosecutors when we take particular stances. my reason and the reason for most about how here is that we do basically not have the resources to do something like this and to follow up and prosecute these kinds of cases. this is not going to make our community any safer by doing that. that is our first obligation as
4:23 am
public safety. >> before i to go, i have to ask keeping up this graphic of the united states and its past bright. the state has, at this doesn't, whatever. this new patchwork abortion laws, we are showing right now, is very confusing. what is your immediate advice to people in your jurisdiction trying to figure out what is legal in the state and what can i do? >> well, the good thing is that we have a lot of media coverage on this issue right now. it is something of quite big importance for the people. i'm really glad about that, that the media is covering it as they go through. thank you so much for that. the other thing to keep in mind is that right now abortions are still legal in georgia. okay? even though we have a hold on that law and that case, it is still illegal. so people can go to organizations such as planned parenthood and ask for information to see where that goes. as well, you're going to see individuals like myself as a da
4:24 am
and other da's coming out and letting people know what is happening as we go through this legal process of one is legal on one is not. we can always look at these kinds of organizations that are out there fighting for this right. >> well my thanks to you, district attorney deborah gonzales. keep fighting the good fight. thank you for joining us, i appreciate it. >> thank you katie, i really appreciate you helping me out. >> coming up. when nearly 50 migrants were found dead in abandoned traffic trailer texas, governor greg abbott was so quick to put the blame on president biden. can the evidence points to a different call branch? how to trump area policies increase the risk floorboard border crosshairs. coming up next. >> p next >>

4:29 am
so often in this country, terrible tragedies turned into political blame games. something we saw last week when texas governor greg abbott pointed the finger at the biden administration after the tragic deaths of 50 migrants. victims of a human trafficking of operation gone horribly wrong in texas. we're -- still working to identify many the bodies found in the back of a tractor trailer. abbott is quick to blame biden's, quote, open border policies. let's be clear, the evidence suggests it is a trump era policy that has contributed to a surge in border crossings. put in place as a pandemic related health protocol, title 42 allows the united states to block and expel most people at the border without due process or criminal penalties. that is had an unintended consequence. with three out of ten adults attempting to cross the border illegally do so over and over again.
4:30 am
some try is up to ten times according to the new york times report. since may, the biden administration's sondland to the title 42 policy but it was blocked by federal courts. for more we are joined by the former secretary of housing and development in former mayor of san antonio as nbc contributor julián -- thank you so much for joining us this morning. it turns out it's trump's title 42 policy that's increasing the crisis at the port or, not reducing illegal immigration. give us an idea of how the risk for migrants has increased as a result of title 42 still being in place and how this is actually driving some public opinion where you are. >> well, katie, good morning. it's good to be with you. you have it right. it has increased the desperation these migrants have, because they have been summarily turned away. that means they have been rejected by the united states, not able to come into the
4:31 am
united states, not able to make their asylum claim. in the desperation level it increases and increases, for some that translates into trying again to go near a port of entry. sometimes across the river. we have seen a number of deaths of people trying to cross the river who have tried to come across before, even after entry to do it as people would say the legal way. they can do with a legal way because a 42. they are closed off there. others, sometimes, fall the victim or pray to these traffickers, these coyotes. sometimes in tractor-trailers like we saw in this tragedy in san antonio. they are promised that they are going to get them across the border, pack them in this box, on something like this happens. so, title 40 and its sister policy from the trump era remain-in-mexico which also has the effect of keeping people in mexico in danger. it has increased aspirations,
4:32 am
increase the number of people who are trying multiple times to come over here. that has added up to more deaths. >> secretary, i don't need to make sure people understand what's going on here. to remain in mexico is the idea that if you're trying to enter united states of the border, you have to wait in mexico while the process is pending. the supreme court, last, week said that the biden administration you did the right thing in process so we will lift that policy. the reality is untrue. title 42, it doesn't allow migrant either legal or illegal means. title 42 says that back when the pandemic started, we were trying to protect the united states which is fine, but we have vaccines now. what, in your opinion, is the holdup. why just federal courts say to the biden ministration we won't allow you to lift title 42? >> well, the court has -- the court has basically taken the position that the biden administration has not gone through the hoops that you have
4:33 am
to go through to change a policy like this. they are not saying this can't be done, they are just saying that to the biden administration look, you have to go through these hoops that you need to do as the federal government, to undo this policy. right now, i don't know a timeline, i don't think there is a definitive timeline on when that is going to be done. the misery continues for many, many people. the desperation continues and continues to amp up. this was a bad policy that originally was going to -- buy stephen miller and others in the biden ministration who want an excuse, basically. some argued that we were in a pandemic, this was a different time. then you can give folks, for second, the benefit of a doubt. but there were always better ways to address this. people could be screened, vaccinated, quarantined, none of that was none in large numbers to folks. instead, you had this policy
4:34 am
that was way overboard and still in place. it really needs to go. >> i want us to shift, secretary, to another big story out of texas this morning. i mentioned earlier in the show. uvalde's police chief pete arredondo says he is resigning from his seat on the city council as you know he was blamed for the slow response at robb elementary, including the decision not to immediately confront the gunman. i would like to get your reaction to hearing that he is resigning from the city council. let's be clear, he is not resigned from his position as police chief. you have been an advocate from day one that these questions that still haven't been answered need to be answered. >> a lot of folks in the community there feel very relieved. they feel that maybe this is the beginning of some accountability. the truth is, having served in local government myself, it is true but they say that local government is very close to the people. pete arredondo was never going
4:35 am
to be able to serve on the city council with all of the questions, anger, frustration, search for accountability hanging over his head. you take a look at where they meet in the city council, he's probably 20 feet away from a room of residents that are constantly and rightfully demanding accountability. they're probably going to be shouting him down for years in those meets. -- he had missed every meeting since it happened, if he missed one more he would be on the hook for remove wolf from the council members. if that didn't happen, under the uvalde city charter, after eight months that he took office they could actually recall him. i have no doubt after those eight months passed that citizens would have sought to recall him in uvalde. it was never tenable. it is not surprised that he is stepping down. the good part of this is perhaps this is the beginning,
4:36 am
a small beginning, small step, four people feeling like there is some accountability for the total failures that happened back in may. >> i also want to take a chance to quickly get your reaction to what some are calling a revolutionary, but perhaps in a bad way, supreme court turn that wraps last week. you have noted that the court discredits itself, that many should start considering reforms. what's performed you think the congress should look at to perhaps curb that type of destructive supreme court turn like what we just saw? >> by some measures, only 25% of americans have confidence in the supreme court that it can do its job. that's largely, i think, because it has to discredit itself by going so far to the right. it has become an extreme body, whether it's the decision on abortion, 50 years of president on down overnight, knee capping
4:37 am
the ability of federal agencies to regulate on environmental and other important issues, getting a lot closer to doing away with the establishment clause in the constitution that allows -- allowing prayer not in a classroom, but not a football game where a lot of students feel compelled, players feel compelled, to participate with a coach that wanted to be able to say a prayer. this is an extreme court. there are different ways that this can be addressed. you can look at doing away with lifetime terms. we are in this position, if you look at, it because people 30 people ended up resigning or retiring. trump got to a 0.3 different people during his term. that is a fluke, that's someone
4:38 am
who only served one term would get to a 0.3 justices. you can also look at different -- one party gets a certain number of appointments, the other party gets another amount of appointments, others are done by a group neutrally that they both agree on. there are different ways that they can look at this. i think biden was right to ask congress to look at. >>uán castro, thank you so much for being with us. i appreciate it. >> thank you katie. >> coming up, capitol police officer harry dunn and why he says he feels betrayed by donald trump. >> i have heard the president say something to the effect of, i think they have weapons. they are not here to hurt me, take the -- bags away. let my people in.
4:39 am

cassidy hutchison's stunning testimony before the january six committee. among those in the room for the ex white house aides was capitol police officer harry dunn. i spoke with him on my peacock show about his reaction to the claim that trump knew his supporters were armed, but urged them to march on the capitol anyway. >> it was a lot to process.
4:43 am
it was a weird, emotional moment for me. i would use the word portrayal. it is one of the toughest emotions to process and that moment. it felt -- it hurts that. >> do you want to see prosecutions up into the highest level that a people that were involved you want just american to see the truth of that? >> all of you hear the truth about that, there is no way that you any reasonable person would not say that this needs to end in prosecution. no one else above the law. doesn't matter who it is, whether it's the president of the united states or the lowest aid in the white house. even just some random citizen. no one is above the law. if you participated in any illegal activity that they, leading up to it, you need to be held accountable.

what happened that day there are still people out there who support for donald trump and the promotion of the big lie. how optimistic do you remain about the future of american democracy? >> you know, i think that such a bigger question. we need to have a whole special on that. optimistic, i am optimistic. not optimistic that people will change their mind about what happened. you know, a lot of people are talking about how this community will influence election results and things like that? personally, i don't really care if it will change the election or influences. this is my selfish take. i just want justice. whether that leads to reflection at the ballot box, soviet. i just want the people that committed this -- these crimes, to be held

pundits and politicians appearing from inside of their homes, a departure from the usual curated spaces. if you made on tv, started your personal space and anyone can judge or wired headphones or your tacky knick-knacks. one social media account took off by doing just that. the room writers. they became a phenomenon by scoring zoom sellout on news outlets and beyond. you are in high marks for creative decor and well-balanced shots. i found out my piano an orchid for a hit, but not everyone can get a perfect score. beto o'rourke infamously earned a zero for his virtual office, the virtual politician appearing insensitive basement hostage situation. even the royals need work. prince william should raise the camera and add some decor to spruce up his screen. the team behind room raiders has a book out called how does name your room. i am happy to have numerators cocreator claude taylor here with me now. claude, thank you so much for

4:53 am
of folks out there who joined us benefited from. >> so, can we please quickly go back to that and talk about that beto o'rourke shot? claude give us your thoughts on why it was such a bomb, he improved, he ended up getting better. >> yes, we really like redemption stories. this was very early on. this was the first couple months. i think this was the first time that we saw beto. it was just, it's scary. we were concerned. i mean, is a wellness check in order? a rescue mission? we weren't sure what to do. if you look at beto now, he has got this amazing book wall behind him. i am personally a big fan of the clash of having a photo of joe's to arm or in the background. it is random, but apparently
4:54 am
the clash was a big part of beto's life experience. i respect that. i love his book wall. he is absolutely a ten out of ten. i think is a great governor, too. >> claude i'm going to put you on the spot. i have been the beneficiary of a nine out of ten, a tentative ten, four room raider. one of my new set? we have a beautiful sat here at the katie phang show. what rating would be get and why? >> well, the key thing here. we have got some great colors going on. the blue, the yellow, the pillow on the couch. i could see a bit of a closer up would help. i really like the two pillows. those look great. you've got colors, couch hue with peloton. that is key. if you didn't have that pelosi would be in trouble, but you've got it. >> well, we also don't have massive court violations. albeit we maybe were hiding

them while. quickly, claude, you have your's twitter account, you have an awesome book that people need to read so they can fix their zoom problems. the world's carefully reopening, is there still a future for room writers? >> well, i think there is a hybrid. i think a lot of people are going back to the office are going back to the office two days a week, three days a week. i mentioned, i saw an article where something like 20% of office workers have returned to the office full-time monday to friday. i think across the country, all kinds of industries, all kinds of situations for work and personal we are finding the zoom experience is very much a part of life. so we will have gone back to the office, many people haven't. a lot of people use this new way of -- relatively new way of communicating. the number of zoom users increased, you know, 100 times or something between now in the
4:56 am
last two years. so zoom is here to stay. >> our thanks to collin taylor. police i high tele-, the famous room raider kitty for us. thanks for claude for being here. >> thank you. >> we will be right back. ll be right back (mom allen) verizon just gave us all a brand new iphone 13.
