come out this weekend i will have some amount or promise to have some amount of accountability for who bears responsibility during the massacre. >> this is like piecemeal, right? drip, drip, drip of the videos coming out, information that is contradictory. other times, lies. what do you see in this video? i think there is so much to distill here. it was three minutes into the gunman beginning, shooting. there were five police officers, two of which, two of them have long guns and ars, and they were there, yet 77 minutes, it took for this shooter to be taken out. what do you see in this video, cedric? cedric? >> i'm sorry. i see what everyone else here sees, jose, and the eyes are

telling you the truth. what we saw here. police officers trance toward that gunfire. we have been trending like that since 1999. they recently had training on this a few months before this incident, but that's really disgusting, knowing you are trained to go towards the gunfire, you are fully equipped , you see them coming in with shields, body armor, helmets, automatic weapons, and yet, the first sound of gunfire, they turn, retreat, go the other direction, and you can hear the gunfire. for me as a law enforcement official, i find it disheartening. it's hurtful, painful for me to watch on so many different levels, but if i can encourage the community with one thing, what we saw demonstrated, and i think what we're going to continue to see demonstrated on this particular video, what we see there, they did not uphold

their oath. this is not to be confused with the rest of the men and women out there who go out there and courageously will go towards the gunfire, and i don't want the public to believe this is what all law enforcement do because they don't. in this particular case, on that particular day in that particular city and in that school, what we saw was just hard to witness. imagine these families, regardless whether this video was put out there too early, too late, too soon, whatever. that's nothing but a distraction. the fact of the matter is at some point, this video was going to be put out, and that truth was going to reveal what we saw here, and we thank god for the border patrol officers who got there, did what they needed to do, but to the courageous men and women out there who i know, thousands of them who would have responded very differently because that's what they have been trained to do, and they should not be a reflection on nowhere but that

incident on that day involving those individual officers. >> it's just, cedric, is there any law enforcement procedures, guidelines? is there any thing that you see there in those first 30 minutes that, in any way, is how they should have acted? >> i mean, the top-of-the-line is they failed to act, period. if you remember initially, jose, at the beginning of this, we were told there were no shields, but clearly, there were shields within a matter of minutes. we saw them go in with body armor, and i can't excuse this away. i can't make this not what it clearly appears on this video, and i just feel for those families who now look at their local law enforcement, those

who represent a number of different agencies, how painful it is for those families. but here again, what's very important to me is for the public to understand that this training still goes on, and that are thousands of men and women in your respective communities that will respond and take whatever reaction they have to take under these type of circumstances, and i don't want this in any kind of way to shadow or paint a reflection of all law enforcement because that is not the case. >> cedric, alexander, jj, thank you for being with us. >> president biden, paying his respects at the world holocaust memorial center in jerusalem. there, you see him next to the wreaths in honor of those lost to the holocaust. the president is in israel for the first part of his trip in the middle east. the dow jones, having a bad

are you ready?! - hell no. - no. 20 feet past the hour. prices for gas, groceries, and other items continue to rise at the fastest rate in 40 years. the government says prices rose 9.1% from june 2021 to june 2020 2p prices, rising 1.3% just between may and june. cost of nearly everything, food, gasoline, rent, new and used cars, trucks, rising with gas and food leading the way. over year over year, up more 10

presented gas prices rose more than 11%. with us to talk about this is jared bernstein, member of the white house council of economic advisers. jared, thank you for having the time to talk with us. i think it's important when we're talking about the gasoline. the prices have been falling precipitously over the last three weeks. this report does not reflect that, the falling gas prices. >> that's a really important point. probably the first thing we want to think about when we get under the hood of this report. you look at the data, and i think you may have a chart on this. you will see the gas price, as of today, was $4.63 a gallon. there you go. that is way off its peak in mid july of 5.02. down $0.40 a gallon. oil, as you see, falling more quickly. nothing against the bls who does a great job with these numbers, but this report is through june. through july,

there is some relief, but let's be clear. unacceptably high inflation for american household. that was the president's clear message on this not just this morning but the rep is elevated inflation episode. we're doing all we can, and some of our work is helping at the pump, but we got more work to do, as does congress to help lower prices the families face. ak so many key budget items you just featured. talk about are things concretely the white house is doing to deal with this all pleaded elevated inflation episode? talk to one of the reasons we see prices at the pump down $0.40 since juneteenth? >> the president acted forcefully to release more oil from the strategic reserve plan has ever been released before, and that continues a six-month plan, so it's ongoing,

releasing 1 million barrels a day. that's about 1% of global supply, and it is a global variable, but one person on such a tightly supplied commodity make the difference. i'm not saying that's the only reason why we see that price coming down or a lot of factors we go into it, but that's one of them. the president has increased the supply of gas through e 15 ethanol waivers, and we've done a great deal to get goods from ship to shelf on the ports, the inventories are building up, but we are seeing pressures build across family budgets, and that's why we need congress to work with us, to lower the cost of prescription drugs, of utility bills, health care premiums, and even in the median term of housing, we have the agenda. every one of those democrats are pushing it forward. republicans need to join. >> i will tell you, and you talk about this, and i'm so glad you do. your key focus is on this. the price of food, basic foodstuffs that a family needs to have in order to continue going forward.

it is shot up through the roof. look at this. we could go month-to-month you look at year-to-year. milk, 16.5%. eggs, 33%. chicken, 18%. butter, margarine, 26%. baby food if you can find it , 14%. of course, there's the formula issue. beef, 4%. jared, how does this change? >> some of that, again, is a bit out of date in the following sense. if you look at the price of certain commodities within food, some important ones, grain, corn, soybeans, things that really matter in the production of food and feedstock, they have also come down somewhat in june, but they are still very highly elevated. i shop myself in our household frequently, in i know what you are talking about. more importantly, so does the

president . look, we know that putin's invasion of ukraine is causing a real spike in commodity prices not just here, but across the globe, and that is something that, thankfully, there's been bipartisan support, ukraine, through that invasion of their sovereignty. the president mentioned that will put pressure on these prices, so we have to ask ourselves, what can we do? one of the things he did not show in that list as vehicles. people also know, like food, new and used cars , there's been a lot of pressure on those prices as well. how does topping the innovation act. now it's called the bipartisan innovation act that is sitting in the senate . we already had 68 senators vote for that. how about getting back to that, and investing in the production of domestic computer chips, microprocessors? we already have private, serious investors, companies ready to set up significant

myco processing operations here here they need to see that bill passed. i see no reason, given the urgency of today's report, that congress, particularly congressional republicans are not helping with that. >> i always appreciate the opportunity to speak with you, especially on a day like today. it's important to hear from you. i thank you for being with us this morning. >> my pleasure. two hearings are under way on capitol hill addressing abortion rights and access to the senate health committee, looking at how the supreme court decision overturning roe v. wade is impacting abortion access and maternal health, and the house oversight committee is examining the effect abortion restrictions are having on parents and providers your joining me now is democratic congresswoman lizzie fletcher of texas. it is a pleasure to see this bill and how that would prevent states from enacting or enforcing laws that banned travel to stay for abortions. how would that look like?

>> well, thanks so much for having me this morning to talk about this hugely important topic. it's important for us in texas and increasingly important for people across the country because what we are seeing in texas ever since september, more and more people have been traveling out of state to get access to abortion care, and now that's happening in the last few weeks as abortion has been effectively eliminated. >> girls and their families. talk to we just lost the congresswoman. i apologize to her and you. >> it's a technical issue. we just lost the satellite feed with the congresswoman p let's try to reestablish it. it's an important issue we're discussing, the congresswoman presenting this legislation piece that would deal specifically with people, women traveling out of state to go to another state. if we have not reestablished communication with our congresswoman, we will take a

short break and be right back. you are watching "jose diaz- balart reports." we have her back? technology and live tv at its best here and i am glad to hear you and see you again. let me ask that again because we were cut midway through our conversation. what specifically is your legislation looking to do? >> what this legislation looks to do is to make clear americans have the right to travel between states if one of the privileges and immunities granted in the constitution and the 14th amendment of the constitution, the supreme court has supported it for 100 years kit it is a fundamental right. what we're seeing in states like mine is legislators and others are threatening people with prosecution, criminal prosecution for leaving the state to travel for abortion care and threatening anyone who helps them. they are also threatening anyone who provides that assistance could be sued by anyone like the same vein they did with the

bill in texas in september that deputize is anyone, anywhere, to sue people for getting reproductive health care they need. this bill makes sure to show we are reaffirming that constitutional right to travel and it will be protected, that the attorney general can get injunctive relief to declare release and that individuals affected by people trying to interfere with their right to travel will have an ability to stop that and a private right of action to go to court and stop people from trying to interfere in their constitutional right to travel. >> congresswoman, you know on friday president biden sign in executive order to protect abortion access. it's limited because it's an executive order. do you think the administration is doing enough on this issue? >> i think that the executive order last friday was a very good place to start. i don't think it is the place to stop, and i we have a lot of work to do on capitol hill, and there's more the administration

can do. i have sent a letter with my colleague from texas, representative doggett, asking for the president to declare public health emergency, that's what we're seeing. it's a public health emergency in my home state of texas, and it's an emergency in states where people are going, seeking abortion care. what we know is since september , the number of people who were traveling out of state has increased by as many as 1400 people traveling per month, and those are the people who can afford to travel and who can leave, and other states, we're seeing an 800% increase in patients they are seeing. it's important to use all the tools we have to address the public health crisis . that's why in the house, we will vote on my bill friday to the right to vote to travel. we will vote on the women health protection act of 2022 again to create a federal statutory right to abortion care in all 50 states. >> congresswoman lizzie

fletcher, i thank you very much for being with us. i apologize we got cut off mid sentence , but we were able to reestablish our conversation, for which i'm extremely grateful to you. >> thanks so much for covering this very important issue. up next, we're going to go live to jerusalem where president biden is on the first leg of his mideast tour. the problems the president faces going into his upcoming meeting with saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman. you're watching "jose diaz- balart reports," on msnbc . the 995 plan! yes, from colonial penn. your 995 plan fits my budget just right. excuse me? aren't you jonathan from tv, th that's what sold me. she thinks you're jonathan, with the 995 plan.

37 past the hour. president biden is wrapping up the first day of his three-day visit to israel. the resident later read that the world holocaust memorial center in jerusalem.

just after he landed in israel come he talked about the close bond between the u.s. and israel. >> the connection between the israeli people and the american people is bone deep. it is bone deep. generation after generation, our connection grows. we invest in each other. we dream together. >> with us to talk about this, nbc news white house correspondent karoly and david ignatius, "washington post" columnist and associate editor. talk show what kind of day has it been for the president so far? >> reporter: the president has been here a little over three hours, and he's been very well received here in israel. he had an arrival ceremony at the airport, where he spoke and delivered his message of solidarity, that clip you played that the relationship between the u.s. and israel is

bone deep. that was the message very well received by the israelis, and he talked about the connection between the two countries, and then he visited the holocaust memorial, and met with two holocaust survivors who emigrated to the united states. that was the very warm meaning and meaningful one, and that the president now will turn to tomorrow's meeting, where the business takes place. he will meet with the prime minister, the president of israel, as well as former prime minister benjamin netanyahu, somebody the president knows will and has not always gotten along with its expected to be a very short meeting, something that's going to take not a ton of the president's time, the white house is saying the president will be candid with the former prime minister just as they always are on issues when they don't see eye to eye. then the president will, on friday, meet with palestinian leaders here today is a very ceremonial day. as i said, he

has been well received in israel so far. he's only been here a few hours, but it's really tomorrow and friday he gets down to business to discuss those issues that are front and issue for israel and the united states. >> carol, what are the white house expectations for the trip? >> reporter: the president came out today and set it, very low expectations on one issue, what comes to peace talks between the israelis and palestinians but the president said from the gate that while he supports a two state solution, that is the what he thinks is the future of the israelis and palestinians should be come he does not expect that to happen anytime soon. the administration has tabled that issue and decided that they might pursue that at a later time. the main issues here that the present is going to have to talk about chemo iran. that will be hanging over his visit here, and saudi arabia. it's not clear that the u.s. and israel can come to an agreement what the path forward

is with israel opposing the presidents diplomatic outreach in the iran nuclear deal, but they may be able to get to some sort of agreement on what the goal is over all. jose, the u.s., the administration would like israel to be integrated more with its arab neighbors, particularly saudi arabia. >> david, i'm wondering. that's clearly something the biden administration would love to be able to achieve here it has been almost be impossible for generations, right? for millennia, but what is the biden administration's policy would come to the broader middle east issues? >> first, i think you are right here they would like to encourage baby steps towards normalization between saudi arabia and israel. the saudi is still the major player outside of this normalization process. biden will fly from israel to saudi arabia directly. that is seen as a modest symbol, but there will be some agreements,

probably, that are struck in saudi arabia, involving two obscure islands, which would make it easier for saudi arabia and israel some day to normalize diplomatic relations. i think, behind the scenes, we will have to see how much of this is set publicly over the next few days. the united states has been working for a real regional network that involves all the major arab countries and israel with centcom as the coordinator. that gets talked about rarely. it won't come up in this visit, but it's a big deal to bring all those countries together. it's focused on iran, the iran, especially if it stays out of the nuclear agreement, will post to everybody in the recent going forward. basically, biden wants to put a stamp on this process of ever greater integration of the arab states and israel, which has begun or accelerated under president trump, but biden is

embracing it too. >> david ignatius and carol lee, thank you. rescuers are digging the rubble in ukraine still after devastating missile attack. you're watching "jose diaz- balart reports" on msnbc. msn
