survive in the way you've known it if donald trump is gep chosen? >> it can't survive if he's our nominee. no. i think that he can't be the party nominee. i don't think the party would survive that. i believe in the party. and i believe in what the party can be and what the parry can stand for. and i'm not ready to give that up. those of us who believe in republican principles and ideals have a responsibility to try to lead the party back to what it can be. >> powerful words from republican congresswoman liz cheney on the future of the gop. the january 6 hearings may be on hiatus but the committee is still making news. cheney said there is a chance that the committee to make multiple, multiple criminal referrals of donald trump to the justice department. we've already learned the next hearing set for later this month will focus on the mob at the capitol including who organized it, and who financed it.

good morning and welcome to msnbc live coverage on this monday, july 4th. i'm erin o'hern. federal prosecutors working on the january 6 investigation were caught off guard by cassidy hutchinson's testimony last week. according to "the new york times," the federal prosecutors working on the case were just as astannished by her account of former president trump's increasingly desperate bid to hold on to power as other viewers were. the panel did not provide them with videos or transcripts of her taped interviews beforehand according to several officials. leaving them feeling blindsided. members of january 6 committee -- a member of the january 6 committee zoe lofgren responded to the times report on "meet the press" yesterday. >> we're not an arm of the department of justice. we're a legislative committee. they have subpoena power.

they could subpoena iss hutchinson. we sint viewed her four times. and the fourth interview was a very compelling and it is obvious she is being intimidated, people are trying to discredit her. i was surprised that the prosecutors were surprised what, are they doing over there. they have a much greater opportunity to enforce their subpoenas than our legislative committee does. >> we're also following news in the justice department's probe into the january 6 capitol insurrection. nbc news has confirmed two arizona state lawmakers who pushed former president trump's election lie were subpoenaed by the fbi. arizona senate president karen phan and state senator kelly townsend both republicans got identical subpoenas last week. a spokesperson for arizona senate republicans say they're fully cooperating with the fbi

and releasing emails and text messages before a deadline which will come sometime this week. those subpoenas were delivered the same day arizona house speaker rusty bowers testified before the house january 6 committee. he told the committee trump and rudy giuliani pressed the state legislature to choose electors that would re-elect the former president even after arizona's governor certified his loss. vice chair liz cheney and several other members of the house select committee are weighing in on what will be presented during upcoming hearings. take a look. >> do you have any evidence other than cassidy hutchinson's testimony to corroborate what she said happened in that presidential motorcade? >> the committee has significant evidence about a whole range of issues including the president's intense anger and i think -- >> anger at not being allowed to go the to capitol. >> yes. exactly. at that moment. and so let me just leave it

there. i think you will continue to see in coming days and weeks additional detail about the president's activities and behavior on that day. >> i don't want to get too far ahead of what we intend to present in our next hearings. but our very next hearing will be focused on the efforts to assemble that mob on the mall. who was participating and who was financing it and including the participation of the proud boys, the 3 percenters and others. >> this happens every day. every day we get knew people coming forward and say i didn't think this piece of a story that i knew was important. but now that you are seeing this, i think this does play in here. >> will we hear from witnesses that you did not know about, with stories you did not hear because of the hearing so far? >> yes. yes, there will be -- there will be way more information and stay tuned. >> stay tuned. well it also seems more and more likely that former white house

counsel pat cipollone will appear before the january 6 committee. according to a lawyer familiar with the matter, he will probably agree to a transcribed interview that is limited to specific topics to avoid any privileged issues. he has become a key figure in the investigation after former white house aide cassidy hutchinson painted him as a critical figure in the final days of the white house during her explosive testimony. >> he clearly has information about concerns about crim violations, concerns about the president going to the capitol that day, concerns about the chief of staff having blood on his hands if they didn't do more to stop the violent tack on the capitol. hard to emergency someone more at the center of things. >> and there are new signs this morning that former president trump could be losing his dominance over some circles of the gop. a growing number of republicans are making moves that could position themselves for a 2024

presidential primary bid. preparing themselves to potentially take on trump, if -- and that is an if -- if he decides to run again. the sense of weary surrounding trump has been brought into sharper focus amid revelations from the january 6 committee hearings. and although many republicans are not watching and not likely to believe the committee's findings, the hearings are still creating unwelcome pressure leaving some mega donors to say they're backing away from the former president. joining us now is senior reporter for insider camilla deshow. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you for having me. >> the new article you co-authored take a look at the january 6 house committee so far and it highlights how a growing number of democrats want to block former president trump from ever holding office again which isn't a surprise.

but there is a different between wanting to block him and actually doing it. so how do they plan to take that action. >> going over several strategies. either to invoke the 14th amendment that prohibits an official from holding office this engage in insurrection or having a third impeachment and backing off and letting the justice department decide. but one thing is clear, they want to stop him from running for office. they're divided on how to do that. >> and you heard liz cheney say that they don't really need to make a recommendation in order for trump to be charged. you could talk about the likeliness of that happening before they even make the recommendation? >> so, in the back drop of these january 6 hearings, there is also two active investigations. you have the investigation in georgia, the fulton county

district attorney willis holding her own investigation and then you also have the justice department also conducting tir separate investigation. now the justice department has asked the january 6 committee to hand over their witness transcripts in order for them to get a better sense of the information that they have. but it is the timing of what they will do and how justice department will carry out their investigation or when a decision will come down is still up in the air right now. the justice department has said they will be monitoring the january 6 hearings very closely. but they are also ramping up their own investigation. >> and you know, you interviewed a democratic strategist for your new article who said if democrats overplay their hand, it could backfire in november. and this is really significant because november is a few months away. and people have a very short-term memory. so what some people may be very passionate about or angry about right now, may not ring true in

november considering everything that this country is going through right now. so what do you think the strategy is going forward to keep this in the forefront of american minds? >> so when we talked to democratic strategists, they made one thing clear, there is a lot of things happening here. you have the economy, inflation and so what the january 6 committee can keep doing is presenting more evidence about exactly what trump and other republican lawmakers, what their role was in this january 6 insurrection. and the days leading up to the insurrection and then after. and as you have seen, it is just them presenting this information is really just built this strong case about how trump has played an active role. and so i think that is at the forefront leading up to the november elections. but as you heard from bonnie willis said she could make a decision on whether to formally prosecute the former president as early this fall. so, this is also things that

could play a big factor as we go into the upcoming midterm elections. >> busy summer ahead for both sides of the aisle. camilla deshall, thank you so much and happy fourth. today marks ten days since the supreme court over turned roe v. wade and this morning democrats are already plotting the next steps. "the washington post" reported over the weekend that they want to force republicans to take uncomfortable votes on abortion rights to show case democrats own support for them. the post also reports that biden administration officials are studying what else could be done through executive action. on "meet the press," health and human services secretary spoke out about some of the challenges the administration faces when it comes to protecting abortion rights. >> chuck, if you look at our laws and way we administer them, when the supreme court speaks, unless we're all going to say

that the word of the supreme court will no longer have value, we have to heed the word of the supreme court. so we will continue to find every avenue possible to make sure that women have access to the care they need including abortion care. i think we're continuing to explore everything that is out there. the difficulty is that simply because it is an idea doesn't mean it could go out into practice. >> i looked at the list of things that you guys are doing and there is not much you can do. i looked and it is pretty clear, because you don't want to get outside of the law. what do you tell the congressional democrats that feel like the party is not fighting hard enough? >> well, i tell them give us some good ideas. we'll explore everything we can. and i would ask them to please pass a law. they have it in their power, if they could find the votes, to codify the roe decision which is what we need. we'll find what we can and do as

much as we can, but when you are striped of a right as the supreme court has just done to every woman of child bearing age, it is tough to overcome. it took 50 years for us to get as far as we did. now we have to figure out how to do this. it will not be easy. >> meanwhile a 10-year-old rape victim was denied an abortion in ohio due to the state's ban after the overturn of roe v. wade. the girl was a little over six weeks pregnant when the ban took effect and now she must travel to indiana to receive the procedure. ohio's abortion ban took effect last week and indiana lawmakers are poised to further restrict or outright ban the procedure in just a matter of weeks. now right now, abortion providers like those in indiana are seeing an influx of patients from neighboring states. recent polling shows a divide in how americans view the supreme court compared to a year ago. according to marquette

university law school, 44% approve of the court's performance. down 16 points from a poll taken last july. among democrats, the approval has dropped from 59% to 28% this year. the majority of independents disapprove. 23% more than last july. the view of the court has improved among republicans though with 71% approving now compared to 57% just a year ago. coming up -- >> there is compelling evidence that the law enforcement response to the attack at robb elementary was an abject failure and antithetical to everything we've learned over last two decades since the columbine massacre. >> strong words from the director of the texas department of public safety last month. hammering the police response to the mass shooting at robb elementary. today there is a big update from uvalde and we'll bring you the

administrative leave after texas public safety head called the police response an abject failure. arredondo maintains he was not the ins tent commander that day and his lawyer said he did not issue any orders to other law enforcement agencies. >> he failed at his job. failed our kids. >> reporter: javier lost his 9-year-old daughter jackie. >> we can't have our child back. so for me it is never enough. >> now we reached out to arredondo's lawyer to see if he could communicate with us, we have not heard back yet so we don't know what he's going to do with his job as a police chief as that investigation by the texas department of public safety continues into his actions on that day. erin. >> gaud venegas, thank you so much. well, coming up, a new poll reveals a record low number of adults are extremely proud to be an american. gallup editor in chief will be here to break down the

in just a few hours many of you will be lighting up that grill and hot dogs are a staple on july 4th. but this year, some americans might need to eat them without the bun. nbc news correspondent -- explains. >> this is the heart of bun season. we're in the busiest season of the year. at least through july 4th. >> in the united states, when the sun is out, typically buns are out, too. >> when i spoke to ed cinco of the bakery in ohio. >> this is not a look i'm used to rocking. >> they just entered the heat of summer bun demand and one ingredient is wracking up costs. >> how does the price of wheat today compared to what you've seen. >> from 2015 to 2019 wheat was between $4 and $6 a bushel and

wheat is over $11 a bushel right now. >> last time it was this high was in the early 2000s and they use a lot of wheat. >> this is a flour truck. that holds 50,000 pounds of flour. yeah, we get four trucks aday. and 22 a week. >> so what is going on. >> a third of the world's wheat potentially has disappeared from the world market. >> russia and ukraine are two of the world's major wheat exporters according to the united nations, africa nations import 46% of the wheat from ukraine and russia. >> if there is a big shock to the world wheat market. >> there is not enough out of ukraine because of the invasion by russia, the price goes up. >> even though the u.s. does not import wheat from ukraine, it is still effected. high demand but low supplies are driving prices up. >> it is grown locally, but you have to think globally. >> according to ed, the already high price they pay for wheat

has increased 37% since january. he predicted another double-digit increase before the end of july. >> for american consumers, they may say this is hurting my wallet. >> absolutely it is hurting their wallet. >> and there is even more at stake. remember that spike in wheat prices in 2008. >> this is the food price crisis. >> it wasn't just wheat. prices for staple foods across board went up. >> we're seeing a very similar run-up in price and spike in prices. >> a study published in the american journal of the agriculture economics analyzed data and found a high correlation between high food prices and social unrest. >> go back to the arab spring, a lot of those protests were initiated by high food prices. in north africa and the middle east, egypt. >> the strain even sparking protests in iran back in may. >> especially in developing countries. there is a real concern about

how many people we might push toward famine. >> on june 28th, the g7 announced $4.7 million in funding to support 47 countries now effected by food insecurity due to the war in ukraine. >> this is a really serious issue outside of food prices going up for low income families here in the united states. >> is there an end in sight? >> there won't be an end in sight in my opinion until 2023 crop year, if russia is over. >> well amazon founder jeff bezos and the biden white house are facing off over gas prices. it started when president biden tweeted, quote, my message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple. this is a time of war and global peril. bring down the price your charging at the pump to reflect the cost you're actually payinger not product and do it now. bezos responded yesterday

writing, quote, ouch, inflation is far too important of a problem for the white house to keep making statements like this. it's either straight ahead misdirection or a zeep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. white house press secretary karine jean-pierre fired back in a series of tweets of her own writing, quote, oil prices have dropped by about $15 over the past month but prices at the pump have barely come down. adding, quote, that is not basic market dynamics. it is a market that is failing the american consumer but i guess it is not surprising that you think oil and gas companies using market power to record profits at the expense of the american people is the way our economy is supposed to work. joining us now, economics reporter for the "wall street journal," amara mockway, thank you for joining us on this fourth of july. obviously an interesting exchange there. that is gaining a a lot of attention. but if you could break this down for me and for the viewers.

is this messaging just from the administration or do individual companies actually have the ability to drop the price of the pump? >> well, inflation, prices at the pump, they're a matter of supply and demand. if you talk to most economists, they will not point to corporate greed or profiteering as one of the main things driving inflation right now including the high prices that we're seeing at the pump. most economists will say that what we're seeing right now is a result of some of the issues that we've been seeing throughout the pandemic. whether that be supply chain disruptions, shortages of materials and labor, and really just the fundamental mismatch between supply and demand in the economy. now some economists do think that corporate greed and profiteering are playing a role here but the main driver is supply and demand issues. >> okay. and the "wall street journal" reports that some indicators show that inflation may have reached its peak which i think

we're all hoping it has. if that is true, and we still don't know if it is true, how soon before the average american actually sees prices come down and there is some sense of relief because people areally suffering from this. >> people are suffering. and the last inflation numbers that we saw were really concerning to the federal reserve which is working hard to bring inflation down. and it is not clear that we have seen the end of the run-up in prices. but the ting thats federal reserve is doing, they're having some impact but they're going to take some time to work through the system and to have an impact on the prices we're seeing. so, you know, if you listen to president biden, even if you listen to federal reserve leaders, they say we should expect these high prices to continue to continue for sometime as the economy tries to work through some of the supply chain issues and as the feds rk through the economy to bringn inflation. >> when you say some time, in

your opinion can you be a little more specific? i think there are a lot of people looking for relief and to them sometimes could be a month or six months. from your experience, what are we looking at time wise? >> well i'm not a forecaster so i can't say what my opinion of when inflation will come down is. but i will say there are a lot of uncertainties out there. and when you listen to economist lz an the administration officials they say there are a lot of things that will determine the trajectory of inflation that can't be forecast right now. there is the ongoing war in ukraine which as you mentioned in the last package is driving up food and grain prices. there is a lot of uncertainty right now. how long will it take to bring people off the side lines. we're still not back to where we were pre-pandemic. so there were a lot of uncertainties out there and the question of whether the federal reserve would bring us

significant kpik slowdown. there is a lot of question marks out there so why the inflation question is so tricky for central bankers. >> let's take a step back and review this exchange between the administration and jeff dez os. this isn't the first time he's gone after the administration over the messaging on inflation. and it is great twitter fodder. it makes great headlines. but does that fact, or does the fact that one of the richest businessman in the world who has a lot of influence, when he goes after the administration so publicly, what kind of impact does that have? >> well, i think it just demonstrates the difficulty that the administration is having with the messaging on inflation. it is not an easy issue to message around. the administration realizes that they have both an economic problem and a political problem. and trying to figure out a message that is going to resonate with americans in a way in a is understandable, in a way

that is convincing and cooperateures all of the nuances of what is driving inflation right now is really hard and you think you see that when they get pushback from bezos and some democratic economists and the messaging is hard because the administration has limited tools to address inflation. the main player here is the federal reserve. so the administration is trying to message what it can. it is trying to do what it can. but in reality, it's tools are quite limited. >> it is a complicated issue and it is difficult to explain. amara, thank you so much for joining us and happy fourth. up next, as we celebrate independence day, by some measures american pride is at an all-time low. we'll dig into the numbers with gallop's editor in chief. op's ef

american. in the latest gallup survey, 38% had pride and that number is declined since it reached a record high of 70% back in 2003 but drop the at a quicker rate in the recent years. joining us now from galup, mohamed. thank you for being -- on this july 4th. so based on your finding, is this drop consistent across all major parties? >> it has been over the longer term. for the most part these numbers have been declining consistently not only along party lines but along demographics as well. i think what is more important to us at gallup is what is behind these numbers and we found the way our leaders are leading are driving down pride and belief in the country itself. >> you bring up an interesting point because i was actually

watching a video that was on the gallup website and you talked about how the founder, even though we know gallup to be for presidential polls, that the founder had this vision that these analytics could really help leaders lead better. so what does this specific poll -- >> absolutely. >> -- say to the lawmakers about the leaders of the country about not only the job they're doing but where they need no do to get the numbers back up again. >> that is a great question. and george gap up's passion was to understand how local citizens are living their lives and connecting that wisdom to leaders. what we've seen most consistently when we ask americans the most important problem facing the country today, it is poor government and poor leadership. the american political system leaves six in ten americans not proud to be americans.

the things at the top of the list are economic opportunities, scientific achievements, diversity, so our leaders really need to lead with demonstrating those values in mind and i think you'll see a reaction. another important point, local government is doing much better with the american public than national government. so national leaders could also look to local leaders to see how it gets done. >> and you think it is important to note that when this poll was done, you received the results before roe v. wade was overturned. and i don't know if you have any feelings about how those numbers may have shifted after roe v. wade if this poll was done and also in regards to how people think about stricter gun laws. so where does that asterisk fit into this poll. >> that is a great question. and we continue to poll. and we're asking americans about these same questions now. the supreme court hit a record low after the leaked opinion on roe v. wade.

every time, and the more we see national institutions dragged into the partisan arguments around these issues, the lower confidence in these institutions continue to go. tomorrow we actually release, erin, our complete battery of questions to institutions, record lows but it will be important for us to watch and see how each of these institutions relact. things like the military, that have continued to have very high confidence even in institutions have taken a dip in the past couple ever years. >> so i know this gets released tomorrow but you could give us an indication of what institutions have dropped most or where you're seeing the most discerning trends. >> at rock bottom are the supreme court, at 26% of people essentially having confidence in the job they're doing. congress is even lower than that. so we literally have the two branches of government in addition to the president are actually rating lower than both of those. the health care system in general tends to do pretty

horribly. with all due respect, the media tends to do worse than most others. and actually has been on the decline the most. and i just mention those. there are many others. but those are the central institutions that americans look to for inspiration for leadership, for security in their nation. and when they look to the national conversation, these past several years and it is really something that predates, i want to say president trump's entire time in his presidency, these declines in national institutions have been long developing and very consistent and very hard to get over. so we'll see what the coming years bring. but i want to end on a positive note. america is a nation that has always exploded forward and i'm a kid from cairo and i have a confidence that many other moments in our dark past will move forward. this tells us that less americans want to celebrate their county this year. they maybe just want to see more

work being done to improve it. >> good point. editor in chief of gallup, thank you so much and happy fourth to you. >> happy fourth of july. >> with millions expected to send time by the water this independence day, official across the country are out with warnings about water safety. and nbc news national correspondent miguel almaguer shares the tips you and your family need to know before heading out to celebrate. >> from the nypd air sea rescue team, hoisting this distressed jet skier to safety, to this dad jumping into action to save a drowning boy from a pool in kansas. officials say with summer in full swing, water rescues are on the rise. it comes as one-third of the nations 309,000 public parks and pools have been effected by a lifeguard shortage. >> we do have more people coming into the beaches and the water parks an the pools than we've ever had. but less lifeguards. >> it is all driving a renewed push for people to stay water
