but have never seen anything quite like this. >> kathy park, thank you so very much. that wraps up the hour for me. i'm jose diaz-balart. you can wech me on twirt twitter and instagram. thank you so much for the privilege of your time. the great andrea mitchell picks up with more news right now. good day. this is "andrea mitchell reports" in washington, as president biden and israel's prime minister took opposite stands on iran today, the biggest issue dividing the two allies. israel is sticking to its policy to take action to slow down the nuclear program. president biden saying military force is a last resort but insisting on diplomacy first. >> words will not stop it, mr. president. diplomacy will not stop them.

the only thing that will stop iran is knowing that, if they continue to develop their nuclear program, the free world will use force. >> i continue to believe that diplomacy is the best way to achieve this outcome and will continue to work with israel to counter other threats from iran throughout the region. >> all of this ahead of the president's controversial trip to saudi arabia next, a visit opposed by human rights groups, but aimed at fostering closer ties between the saudis and israel. here at home, nbc news has learned a member of the trump white house support staff is the key witness referenced in vice chair liz cheney's warning about possible witness tampering by the former president himself. that comes as the january 6th committee is preparing for a primetime hearing next week, a week from today, graphically illustrating president trump's refusal to take action during

the riot and in fact goading the mob on with a tweet slamming his own vice president. >> when he tweeted about mike pence, that's where the fighting began at the west front where i was. that's when mike fanone got dragged into the crowd, myself got hurt on my shoulder and my arm and my feet. >> that officer, gonel, one of the capitol police officers injured on "morning joe" today. we'll hear more from him coming up later. also overseas, britd any greiner back in a moscow courtroom one week after entering a guilty plea on drug charges for possessing vape canisters containing cannabis oil. her russian coach, teammate and team doctor all testifying about her character and contributions to russian basketball. we begin with the president's overseas trip, the biggest trip

he's taken, most important certainly this year. joining me is nbc news chief white house correspondent peter alexandria in jerusalem and david ignatius. the president discussing the potential for nuclear talks. we heard the differences in language on iran a few minutes ago. let's talk about that. the president emphasizing he would take military action as he told an israeli journalist as a last resort, and taking a strong line saying we're not going to wait forever for iran to come back to the negotiating table. certainly disagreeing with the israeli prime minister. they've been taking covert and kinetic military action for years now against iran to slow down its nuclear program. >> reporter: andrea, that's exactly right. the two men, the prime minister and president biden signed this joint agreement today, a declaration with a shared commitment that they would never allow iran to acquire a nuclear

weapon. there are certainly differences in the way they get there. as you heard from lapid, the prime minister, israel's desire is that there's a credible military threat, only the use of force will push iran back from the brink of trying to develop, not just a nuclear weapon, but a nuclear program. the president kept open the glimmer of hope for diplomacy. you heard the president say that's his preferred route. he said as a last resort the u.s. would be willing to use military force. lapid said there's no difference between the two. there is a difference between the u.s.'s effort to use diplomacy and setting the line at the production of a nuclear weapon, not the production or the capability to produce a nuclear weapon with the belief system they're only a matter of weeks or perhaps months away from advancing that nuclear program. it's notable it's seven years to the day since the obama-biden

administration joined in, announced that jcpoa, that iran nuclear deal. donald trump, the last president, pulled the u.s. out. the president did, as you say, said he would not wait forever for iran to come back to the bargaining table, to renegotiate a revived deal, andrea. >> there's certainly no sign they're willing to do that. david ignatius, you're the best expert of all on saudi arabia, both because of your colleague and friend jamal cosh shogi, but also for years following their activities in the region. how are you reading this trip right now, am necessity international and other human rights groups bitterly opinion poegz it. other senators saying if we can get concessions from them on human rights it's okay because there is a larger issue. >> andrea, i think president biden put it pretty succinctly today in his press conference in israel. he said the trip today to saudi

arabia is about u.s. interests. in saying that he's implicitly saying it's not about u.s. values, u.s. principles. i think on that issue he sounded a little defensive, talked about how he has spoken in the past about jamal cojamal. he's hoping to rebuild the security relationship, to get saudi cooperation on oil production, to do things that we usually refer to as real politic, and that's the triumph of power and interests over values. that's what this trip is going to be about. biden, if you read carefully, is admitting as much. extraordinary to be a fly on the wall in a private meeting where mbs and biden will first encounter each other. will biden tell him privately

how upset, angry, insistent on some kind of accountability the united states is or will he let it go? he probably won't know about that private conversation we'll be watching to see if there's a photograph, a handshake between president biden and mohammed bin salman. this underlined, as biden said, this trip is about interests and in that sense it overrides our values. >> daichbd peter, let's listen to the president and the way he framed it today at that news conference with the israeli prime minister. >> i have never been quiet about talking about human rights. the question that i'm -- the reason i'm going to saudi arabia, though, is much broader. it's to promote u.s. interests. i'll be meeting with nine other heads of state. it's not just -- it happens to be in saudi arabia.

i always bring up human rights. my position on khashoggi has been so clear. if anyone doesn't understand it in vapor anywhere else, then they haven't been around for a while. >> he's certainly indicating it will be a private conversation, david, it's not going to be a public denunciation as it was when he was talking during the campaign. >> andrea, i think the point to underline is what the united states should be seeking is assurances that nothing like this could ever happen again, that mohammed bin salman take seriously our insistence that saudi arabia has to control security forces, that an american journalist outside saudi arabia would never be subject to the kind of brutal operation that jamal khashoggi, my colleague was, and those assurances haven't been made. i hope president biden doesn't

leave the kingdom without getting some indication, some clear statement, public or private, from the saudi leader that he's taking steps to make sure that what happened won't happen again. >> as well, john brennan was telling us yesterday, that some of the people being held and some of the children of leading figures in saudi arabia, dissidents who are being punished will be released. peter, finally, i know the white house traveling press has been told going into israel, whether it be because of covid rules, no head shakes and just fist bumps, but they couldn't control bibi netanyahu wanting a big handshake with the president. they certainly can't control joe biden hugging holocaust victims. what do you think we'll see in saudi arabia? >> reporter: andrea, obviously this is a hands-on president, so there's no surprise that you would see him first bumping

fists as the white house indicated he would, as an effort to try to avoid covid. it clearly gave an opportunity to avoid a handshake with mbs in saudi arabia. after his arrival here, as you noted, he was shaking hands, gripping hands with bibi netanyahu, embracing the holocaust survivors, and even in the last hour or so he was holding hands for an extended period of time, holding hands with president herzog who presented president biden with a medal of honor. if they're going to say that's a reason he wouldn't shake hands with mbs in saudi arabia, i think the president has shown he's willing to overlook that protocol. >> president herzog, including a grandfather who is the chief rabbi in ireland and knew joe biden back then. this is old home week in israel for joe biden or he'd like it to

be. thank you very much, peter alexandria, david ignatius, great to see you both. illegal contact? new details about donald trump about the january 6th witness he allegedly reached out to after cassidy hutchinson's scathing testimony? was it witness tampering? we'll bring in the experts. this is "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. s "andrea mitl s "andrea mitl reports" on msnbc. check. when uc held me back... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc got the upper hand... rinvoq helped visibly repair the colon lining. y repairand when uc got the upper hand... the colon lining. check. check. and check. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin cancer; death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred.

now that that bombshell dropped by the january 6th committee about potential witness tampering by former president trump. just as the panel prepares to turn attention at a primetime hearing next week to the three hours during which trump did nothing to stop the deadly attack. a source telling nbc news that the witness the president tried to call is a white house support staff member. what's the significance of that? we'll get into it. we don't know who it is, and the committee has said it is not someone we have seen testify publicly already. committee chair benny thompson

says the justice department needs to decide what to do with that revolution. >> -- enough evidence to say that there was an attempt to intimidate the witnesses? >> well, from my vantage point it's highly unusual to do that, and that's why we more or less put that in the hands of the justice department, for them to make that decision. >> this was just one missed phone call from the former president? >> that's all that i'm aware of. we don't know what he's asking for because the call wasn't connected. >> this as the former president is sort of teasesing again today about whether or not he'll run in 2024. joining me nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard, former u.s. attorney and law professor barbara mcquade, host of "way too early" on msnbc jonathan lemire and usa today's washington bureau chief.

>> this is the most explicit the former president has been, telling "new york magazine," this quote directly to olivia, i've already made the decision so nothing factors in anymore. in my mind i've already made that decision. she pressed donald trump on whether he was referring to the midterms in which he said, do i go before or after? again refers to the midterms? that will be my big decision. of course, andrea, on the campaign trail over the last many months and the last year, he was flirted with a 2024 presidential bid. in this interview with olivia, this is where he lays out all but saying he's running. the question is whether he does this before or after the midterm elections. of course, ron desantis who in the poll released this week would seem to be his biggest competitor. he's got his own re-election bid for governor in florida he's focused on. if trump is able to make this announcement ahead of time, he's able to get out in front of ron

desantis potentially being able to mount his own president campaign. of course, you also have to look to iowament you've seen the likes of tim scott, nikki haley, tom cotton, ted cruz, others that have made their move to iowa over the course of the last year. for the former president, he'd be able to lay down the marker that he is, in fact, in this race and would be a direct challenge to anybody else considering. >> if he were to announcerly, as soon as he runs, it changes the financial picture of how he can fundraise, what he can spend money on. there are some limits that have to be observed. and it's also not great for other republican candidates around the country who don't want the conversation to be about donald trump in 2020. they want the conversation to be all about inflation and their attacks on the democrats. barbara mcquade, is there a third piece to this? is he trying to send signals to

doj which might be a little more reluctant to prosecutor indict a former president who is running for re-election? >> it really complicates things because i think it risks the perception that the justice department is investigating or prosecuting donald trump simply because he's a political candidate. but i think the reality is that until we get very close to an election, it won't stop them from taking investigative steps. there is a policy of the justice department that investigative action should never be taken for the purpose of influencing a political election, and i think out of an abundance of caution, it is also interpreted to mean or to have the effect of interfeing with an election. the rough rule of thumb has always been about 60 days were an election there could be a cooling-off period where no investigative action should be taken, but i don't think that takes us to 60 days before the primaries early 2024. i think by late 2023 they'd have

to wrap up any investigative activity. that leaves presentity of time to consider indictments for his conduct surrounding january 6th. >> barbara, let me ask you about the witness tampering issue. if it's a phone call that does not get completed but it's to a lower-level staff member, not like i'm calling mark meadows or somebody i would normally call. this is reaching down in the hierarchy at his former white house. what is the impact of that on any investigation? >> i think it's certainly worthy of additional investigation because it could show witness tampering, as you suggest. the federal witness tampering statute is a serious crime, punishment by 20 years in prison. it makes it a crime for someone to interfere with or intimidate a witness for a wrongful purpose. so if he is reaching out to people to try to intimidate them or get them to shade their testimony to his favor, that would be a crime. the fact that there's just one call that wasn't connected alone probably does not make up that case, but you don't have to look at it in a vacuum.

if there are other contacts, we heard cassidy hutchinson was contacted, if this is a person the president never calls for any reason but happens to call just when the person comes on the scene after cassidy hutchinson's testimony, there can be enough facts from which a jury could make a reasonable inference that this was an effort to interview with the witness's testimony. i don't think we have enough evidence yet, but it's certainly enough evidence to investigate. >> jonathan, the next hearing next thursday night is supposed to be about what he did not do, how he was watching television and nearly three hours resisted all kinds of family, friends, staff to do something, to say something torques call off the mob. >> 187 minutes. that's what the committee is saying, that donald trump in their estimation committed dereliction of duty because he was not president at that time. he did not try to stop the mob of his supporters who were committing violence in his name

at the capitol. we know from reporting from sources, from republican lawmakers who spoke to the president during that time that he was ensconced in the private dining room just off the oval office. he had installed some televisions. that's where he would retreat often during his time in office and that's where he spent most of these three hours while the insurrection was taking place, gleefully watching on television, even rewind certain moments to be able to revel in them again. the committee has hint pd between his inaction and the scenes of mayhem and violence and danger happening at the capitol. this new witness, if he or she -- we don't know who it is -- has firsthand accounting of what the president did that day, that would be damning. it also, frankly, would be a pretty short list. the white house was pretty empty on january 6th. a lot of staffers had already left. there had been a covid outbreak not too long before. some people were sick or

isolating at home or choosing to work remotely. there weren't many people in the white house that day. certainly, if this person can add to the committee's ability to paint a picture of what the president did, odds are a pretty damning indictment of inaction on january 6th. >> susan page, off kwer gonel, iraq war veteran has to retire because of his injuries that day. he was on "morning joe" earlier. he testified a year ago at the first hearing. he was saying that the president should not be allowed to run again after the way he behaved and also pointing to the timing of that tweet, the tweet about mike pence and how it inflamed the crowd. let's watch. >> it's outstanding that the lack of urgency and the oath disregard he had to protect the capitol, he had the next three people in line to the secession

of the presidency, the vice president, the speaker of the house and the senate pro tem. plus he had the nuclear football inside the building when the attack was happening, and he didn't lift a finger. if he gets away with getting back into politics and into the oval office, it's probably going to be a lot worse. >> very effecting, his interview today and his testimony on what he said and actually what congressman raskin said about him at the hearing the other day. susan. >> it's true, andrea. it also goes to the effect that donald trump could have had, the effect he had with the provocative tweet that increased the violence, the effect he could have had if he spoke up during that three-hour period when he failed to do so. i feel like we've learned a lot from these hearings by the january 6th committee and we'll learn more next thursday, what we think is planned to be their final hearing, focusing,

increasingly tight focus on donald trump, what he did and what he could have done, andrea. >> barbara, steve bannon today once again failed to delay his trial for contempt of congress that's supposed to begin on monday. the judge rejecting that final appeal today. so this is amping up the pressure on him. but the betting is it's unlikely he's actually going to testify, that that wasn't what this was about. he was trying to delay the trial. >> i think that's right. delay is your friend. if you can kick the can down the road long enough, sometimes magical things can happen. so anything to avoid the day of reckoning. the argument he's made is eightal bit amusing. he keeps saying i'm too prominent, my name keeps coming up in the january 6th hearings. the prosecution pointing out, actually, they're not talking about you, talking about other things. we're all news junkies here, we think how can they possibly find a jury that hasn't heard about steve bannon and his role in the events of january 6th.

you'd be surprised. when you pick a jury, so many americans spend their lives working their jobs and caring for their families, that they pay maybe only casual attention to the news. so the question is have you ever heard of steve bannon or heard of the events of january 6th. it's really can you set aside anything you may have heard outside of the courtroom and focus solely on what you hear here in the courtroom to decide this case. almost certainly they can find 12 people who are willing to do that. >> you mean 12 normal people. jonathan lemire, your thoughts on bannon? >> i also find it amusing that part of bannon's defense is he's too prominent because he's the subject of a documentary that's about to air. the pesky documentary crews get in the way of a fair trial. bannon as a former aid to then president trump in the campaign, first year in office fell out of trump's good graces after talking to an author for a book

that was not flattering of tpt's family. let's remember the president also pardoned him because bannon participated in a scheme to defraud trump supporters out of their money, saying it was going to be going toward building the wall in mexico. we know he was heavily involved in the scheme centered around january 6th. it seems like his day in court will come. >> the president calling him several times according to the phone logs on the night of january 5th. thank you all very much. those painful prices, inflation shattering records. how is the fed going to react? this is "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. o react? this is "andrea mitchell this is "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. mom's a1c is down with rybelsus®.

a possible 1% raise. what are you hearing? >> it would be the biggest interest rate hike in a single meeting in modern fed history if it were hypothetically to your point to be a one full percentage point hike. the reason why it's so interesting right now is it's only happened in the last couple days on the heels of that much hotter than expected consumer price index report yesterday and the producer price index or business level inflation index from this morning. the odds in the interest rate futures market of what was going to happen with fed hikes later this month were pretty much geared towards a 75 basis point or three-quarters of a percent hike. that was pretty much the consensus. now all of a zerngs given the data we've seen in the last two days, there's a 50/50 chance that it's a one full percentage

point increase. the reason why that would be important is because what it indicates is the fed really does feel as though the inflationary story is strong or pervasive enough to act even more forcefully than it already has. the key issue right now is whether or not the economy can withstand that. to be fair, the commodity prices for things like food and fuel that have been the substance of a lot of the inflationary story over the last several weeks and months have now actually started to come down in value over the last couple of months, meaning that, if you look at the future economic data coming out perhaps next month or the month after that, it may actually show that inflation is moderating. the biden administration right now has a very difficult task of trying to at least tell people why the inflationary story may ease in the coming months while still seeing the data still showing that things are pretty bad. that's the reason why a lot of the markets are as skittish as they are right now.

many of the companies and stocks most affected by this are the ones that are the most subject to this kind of shift between the inflation price hike narrative versus the recessionaryive that's starting to build in. it's something a lot of traders are watching very closely right now. >> thank you for watching it closely for. dominic chu from cbs, thank you. europe is under the grip of a blistering heat wave that is drying up rivers, wilting crops, shutting down power paints. the scorching heat threatening to spur a further increase in food and energy prices as inflation is equally high there, if not higher in some countries. nbc's claudia la vong ga is in roam. the international red cross urging cities to prepare for further disasters. what are consumers doing in rome and italy? >> reporter: well, in places like roam we are quite lucky because we have several ways to cool down.

right next to me there is a drinking fountain. behind me it's a big fountain. it's illegal to jump into fountains, but people do anyway when it's so hot. there is any excuse to get an ice cream. in all seriousness, this is a serious heat wave. health authorities are advising anyone, especially the elderly and the most vulnerable to either stay indoors or stay in the shade, do not stay in the sunshine and hydrate a lot because some meteorologists are saying, accuweather saying this is going to be the worst heat wave in 200 years. i'm telling you this is feeling really hot already. italian meteorologists have a habit of giving names to heat waves. this is how many we have. the previous one a couple weeks ago, they called it karen. this one they called it

apocalypse just to tell you how hot they think it's going to be. this is not just italy and rome that's so hot. it's all over europe. spain and portugal are experiencing forest fires all over the place. now france today is bastille day, the french national day when they celebrate -- for the past few hundred years celebrating the downfall of the monarchy. they had fireworks displays laid out but they had to cancel many of them because they're afraid people are going to crowd over in the heat and people are not going to feel well and the weather is too hot to bear in many other places in europe including england, belgium, the netherlands, you name it, andrea. >> it's constituent beautiful. it's still rome. thank you so much, claudio lavanga. playing defense, brittney griner back inside a russian courtroom today. what more can be done to bring her home. senator jeanne shaheen from the

wnba star brittney griner was back in a moscow courtroom today where the club director of her russian basketball team, russian teammate and team doctor all spoke on her behalf. tomorrow griner is expected to deliver an apology to the court and be questioned by prosecutors as well as defense lawyers. new hampshire democratic senator jeanne shaheen serves on the foreign relations and armed services committee joining me now. senator, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> the administration says this is a policy now, a tactics by the russians to grab americans like paul wheel land, mark fogel, 14, 16 years, powell wheel len four years to try to trade them for prisoners. is the administration do you

think doing enough to negotiate and try to get something going? >> well, i think, first of all, that it is outrageous and unacceptable for russia or any other country to falsely imprison american citizens, and that's what they're doing. the administration i know is working behind the scenes when ambassador sullivan was here. several weeks ago i had a chance to talk to him about everything our embassy is doing there to try to address brittney griner and paul whelen. so we've got to keep at it. i have worked on a number of these cases, and i know you have to keep advocating every single day. you have to find a reason to talk to the government. you have to point out that it's not fair. the friends and relatives need to continue to advocate on their behalf. i know the administration and this government are going to do

everything they can, and all of us are here to do what we can to ensure that those americans are returned home as soon as possible. >> russia said today again that the public pressure will only make it worse. we know that former ambassador and congressman cabinet member bill richardson has been asked by the family to intervene and to try to go to moscow. how far should these private appeals go? >> well, my experience is that doesn't, in fact, make it worse, that that's helpful because it keeps the people in front of the authorities. it keeps them in the news here at home and reminds them that somebody cares and is working hard to try and get their release. so i'm not sure we can believe anything that vladimir putin or the russian government says. >> let me ask you about iran,

because president biden in israel today said he would use force against iran as a last resort, but there was certainly a gap between him and the caretaker israeli prime minister lapid who said they have to keep taking actions as they have been obviously covertly and overtly to stop the development of the nuclear program, not just the final stage of getting a weapon. who's right? >> well, it's unfortunate that former president trump pulled the united states out of the iran nuclear agreement which we were in with a number of our european allies and iran. we know that under that agreement iran was not producing enhanced uranium. we know we had iaea inspectors on the ground to see what they were doing, and because former president trump pulled us out of that agreement none of that is happening now. iran is closer to a nuclear weapon. i think it's in everybody's

interest to work together to try and ensure that they do not acquire a nuclear weapon. that's been the policy of republican and democratic administrations, and everything is on the table in terms of ensuring that that doesn't happen. but the other thing that i think is important to notoriety now is that there have been on going negotiations to try and get back into an agreement around iran's nuclear aspirations. our european allies are still supportive of that. we need to be working with them. we have -- there's a proposal on the negotiating table. i hope that iran will look at that and will come back to the table and reach an agreement with us. >> you just came back from the nato meetings as part of a congressional delegation, the oversight of the nato meetings. do you see the resolve of europe weakening as they fis inflation and energy issues and other
