enforcement in the school district. and there is new police body cam video of the 77 minutes in which officers waited while 19 students and two teaches were killed. we'll talk with representative joe moody who is a member of the committee that released that new report. and today jury selection beginning in the trial of former trump adviser steve bannon, we'll discuss what is at stake there. and more questions about the president's controversial trip to the middle east, we'll talk with national security council john kirby. and a federal judge has temporarily stopped civil rights protections for lgbtq+ students and employees. we'll look at what this means. good to see you this morning. we'll begin with the first comprehensive look at exactly what happened the day that 19 children and two teachers were murdered at a school in uvalde.

as well as a new video showing the police response to that massacre. a texas house committee investigating this may 24th shooting at robb elementary released a preliminary report on what it has learned so far. saying it found, quote, systemic failures and egregiously poor decision making. those systemic failures including three exterior doors that were unlocked, a classroom door with a faulty lock that nobody dealt with, wi-fi that was not working properly, and a force of nearly 400 law enforcement officers larger than the garrison that defended the alamo that did not have clear leadership, basic communication, significant urgency to take down this gunman. uvalde's mayor responding to the report by putting the city's acting police chief on administrative leave and releasing body cam footage showing the horror in the hallways and outside the school

as well. i want to warn you, some of these images you're about to see, they are incredibly disturbing. [ gunshots ] >> am i green, am i green? >> an officer appearing to check for personal harm as the children are dying steps away and in the report they write that they failed to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims. despite the criticism, there were also acts of heroism.

also a moment where an officer realized the shots ringing out were that inside the classroom of where his wife taught. officers doing all they could to help students escape that building including pulling they will out of windows as well. a city spokesperson did not respond to an attempt to reach the acting police chief for comment and the u.s. border patrol, the uvalde county sheriff's office, uvalde city police and uvalde school police did not immediately respond to requests as well. uvalde school police chief pete arredondo who was on administrative leave and has resigned from his city council seat told the texas tribune back in june that he did not consider himself to be the incident commander and instead acting as a frontline responder. with us now from uvalde is priscilla thompson. we've been talking about this for the last 24 hours or so as the report broke. a lot of things have been

developing. the report is astounding. so many details that we'll tick through here in the next few hours. but talk to me about how folks are responding there on the ground, the families that received this report. >> reporter: well, people here are angry. and they want that account and, but having spoken to some members of the victims' families, they are very worried that they may never get that. and that is incredibly frustrating. in fact we saw some of those frustrations boiling over even yesterday at that press conference that was held by those committee members. one man in the audience, the great grandfather of one of the victims, lexie rubio, shouting at the committee members as they were leaving. and i want to play some of that exchange and also what he said to me after -- moments after that incident. take a listen. >> they were cowards, cowards. jackrabbits because they were running the other way.

they were running away from the building. >> if you were to see chief arredondo right now, what would you say to him? >> tell him he should go, give up the badge, the gun, grab a [ bleep ], go to the school and be a janitor, that way he can go and hide in the closet instead of having to go and defend the kids. >> reporter: he also said that this report means nothing, it changes nothing. and that is a sentiment that i've heard echoed by many family members here. >> priscilla thompson, heavy stuff in this report to say the least. thank you so much. let's continue this conversation here, with us now a texas state representative joe moody, vice chair of that committee that leased the report. thank you so much for joining us. let's talk through some of the details on this and i want to start first with what stood out to you in this report.

>> i think that there is -- the overarching thing is in so many different ways systems failed. you talk about police response, you talk about the school safety plans in place, you talk about things that should have made us aware of the attacker prior to, and also i think the handling of information by law enforcement and the investigation which i think the way that has been handled up until this point is incredibly disrespectful and harmful to the families there in uvalde. we had an opportunity to meet with them for some time yesterday to answer their questions, talk to them directly and our goal was to show them the respect that they absolutely deserve. >> do you believe they heard your goal, do you feel as if they felt that respect having been misled for the last month

and a half since the shooting occurred, misled really at every corner? doesn't seem like they have trust really in the report that your committee produced at this point. understandably so. >> yeah, i think that they are justifiably cynical about approaching this report. and i understand that based on what they have had to walk through over the last 44 days. but our goal was to attempt to try to create stable ground and a stable set of facts which has not happened so far in this process so that all of us, no matter where we're trying to go from here, can all start from the same spot. i think that it is important to unify an understanding of what happened so that you are able to move forward. >> and let's talk about where we go from here. a couple things i want to tick through in in report, but first and foremost is your response to the report, one of the tweets that you've had after this report was leased, and that is

of course accountability, a lot of folks in that community really wanting accountability, and you wrote i made a promise to the people of el paso that i haven't forgotten and will never forget do everything in my power to make sure the legislature understands what happened and why and to fight for the solutions we deserve, i make that same promise here today in uvalde. what does accountability look like to you, sir, after releasing this report? >> and we were asked that when we met with the families. and the word accountability was brought up many times and my message to them directly is i am accountable to you. i am accountable to you. and if your voices aren't being heard in this process when we are working in austin, then that is a failure on my part. and i invited them to continue to communicate with me to ensure that their voices are part of the solution in this. this is not unfortunately my

first experience working on the after math of a mass shooting. we're just about three years out from the anniversary of the racist shooting attack in el paso. and so those things are not lost on me and the suffering of this community is not lost on me, and it is something that i'll carry forward into my work and i made that commitment to them. >> so what does that mean then, i'm accountable to you, what does that mean? because they want to see real results. let me read a quote from the report for people really to get a sense of what is happening here. and if you are a family member of someone -- if you are a family member and lost a child in that shooting, if you lost a wife in that shooting, reading this part of the report, it will be heartbreaking. given the information known about victims who survived through the time of the breach and who later died on the way to the hospital, it is plausible that some victims could have survived if they had not had to wait 73 additional minutes for

rescue. from my understanding, the mass shooting that took place in el paso where you represent, the shooter was arrested within 20 minutes. response time was a heck of a lot faster than it was in uvalde. 73 minutes these police officers waited in which time lives may have been saved. so when you say to these family members i'm here for you, i will take this with me, what does that actually look like? what are the tangibles of that statement? >> i think that it is the policy that we have -- you know, we have the ability to change. i met with the teachers from that classroom shortly before i met with the family members and they are asking, you know, how can they feel safe going back. what are ways that we can help them feel safe. because they are hesitant and

they are some of the most heroic people in this story are the teachers in that hall. and they want to go back to the classroom and their message to me, they want to go back because if they don't go back, they say it is okay for the children to also be afraid and not go back. and so they are as brave as anyone else. and so we have a responsibility to them to make them feel safe and secure. but the problems that happened here in uvalde are not unique to this community. those these problems are across the state, and if we pretend like it can't happen where we live, then we are living in -- we are living a lie and we'll have this tragedy befall other communities. the obligation is to make sure things are safe and secure, make sure that we have the right response in a situation like this, and quite honestly, we need to have a better conversation about gun safety. this is an 18-year-old that was able to acquire a massive amount

of ammunition and weapons. and the laws up until that point worked. i hear people who oppose these efforts to say the laws don't work and bad guys will do bad things. the laws worked for him until he was 18. he was unable to acquire this stuff until he was 18. if that law is 21, i guarantee he doesn't acquire that until that time. the systems we have in place are meant to create safety for everybody. and we have to look at them across all of those a examples that we bring up in this report, whether it is school security, police accountability, access to weapons or the way we ham information in investigations, all of those things have to be addressed by us and that is what i mean by accountability. >> and you are looking at school security, the budgeting when it comes to a school like uvalde, they don't have a working wi-fi system, the doors weren't locking in room 111? a teacher recounts never even hearing that they were in actual lockdown over the loud speaker? the process that should have

been in place in order to keep these children safe was not in place. certainly something to suggest as we look ahead to the new school year. representative moody, thank you for joining us. i want to bring in now jim cavanaugh, our terrorism analyst. good to talk to you. as we look through this report, i want to talk specifically about the incident command. you got arredondo essentially saying that he was not incident command, he was acting more as a frontline responder. however he was the co-author of how you should respond to an active shooter situation in uvalde making him also within this response the incident commander. he did not act as that. when you hear now that you had up to 400 local, state, federal officers on hand, who should have been in charge there? >> well, he was clearly in charge.

he is the chief of the school district police and he is standing in the hallway. he's got four stars on each shoulder like he's a general. he's in charge of six officers. but nevertheless, he is the man there with the stars on his shoulders, he's in charge. now, you can abdicate that responsibility and not do his job, which he failed in my view to press to the killer, but he was there. he was the man in charge. what he did was he tried to -- he dropped his radios outside the door and picked up his gun, said he didn't want his hands tied up. but that is the failure. the commander's job, and i've been a commander on these crazy situations, is to make decisions. that is the number one job of the leader. it is not to be the first guy in with a gun. it is -- you are not in there shooting the tear gas, you are not throwing the flash bang, you are not charging in, you are making decisions. that is your number one job. he could have been standing in the hallway initially and sent the stacks forward and kept them

pressing in. but he froze up. and he didn't do that. and he slowed down and caused inaction. command requires that all the ranking people from all the agencies, and i've done this many times in the field and training, go to the command spot. usually on a fast moving situation like this, it is set up right outside the mall or the school or the office building. usually behind a police vehicle and the first officer, you know, of rank sets it up and that is where all the sergeants, lieutenants, agents in charge come and that is the command group. and that is where things move from. and these things here, active killers, they move real fast so not a lot of time for a lot of setting up. usually it is just right outside the door we're looking at. so they could step in and make the order. so there was enough officers inside that hallway to handle this. they don't need to be calling as

i like to say a brain in a jar somewhere to find out what to do. all the people are right there. the command rank is there, there is a chief inside, there is a sergeant two steps out the door as we saw in the video. there is nobody to call. stop trying to call other people. you are the people right there. i don't care if there is 400 agents responding, you are the people right there to deal with this situation right there, right now. make the decisions and go in. >> jim, one last thing to you, which is this, should these officers, and if so, be held criminally negligent, how do you decipher which ones? >> well, i think that they will have to in any case start with the chief because, you know, he's the leader, he is responsible. i don't know the texas statute, is there is a possibility of some negligence, criminal negligence, i'm not sure. but certainly the city or the school district has the power to terminate him, you know, if they think that there is malfeasance or failure to act on his duty,

on his oath. they have to evaluate whether they can do that. that would be the first thing. he is the boss, he is in charge. he has to accept the responsibility of what he did. and that is the way leaders do. you have to accept the responsibility. he was there, he is the guy with the stars on his shoulder. and you were there on the scene, you felt the anguish hanging in the air like the humidity. i've been so so many like this, and it just doesn't go away. there is a lot of pain there and it won't go away fast. >> and to a certain extent reports like this only make it worse because you want someone to be held responsible for the loss of life, the loss of your precious life, your children. jim cavanaugh, thank you. we'll be covering this the next two hours, ahead much more from this report. for now, jim, appreciate it. i want to turn now to yet another mass shooting in this country, last night three people were killed after a gunman opened fire inside a mall near indianapolis. a 22-year-old good samaritan who witnessed the attack and was legally carrying a gunshot and

killed the suspect. joining us with more, shaq brewster. what else do we know on this? >> reporter: we expect to learn more later this afternoon when we hear from local law enforcement as they give an update in their investigation. but among those three who were killed, two were women, one was a man, there were two others injured including a 12-year-old girl. this all happened about 6:30 p.m. yesterday in the food court of a mall, a gunman comes in carrying what police describe as a rifle and has multiple magazines, he opens fire and they say that blood shed would have been much worse if it were not for that 22-year-old good samaritan who acted quickly. he is being called a hero this morning. i want you to listen to what people who were there, the eyewitnesses in that food court, how they described the chaos. >> we heard loud gunshots, it was a bald white older male is all i seen. i seen somebody laying on the ground and i just grabbed my kids and we ran. we were locked in a closet and

we barricaded it with tables and waited for the police to come. >> reporter: that mall is closed now as the fbi and local law enforcement process that scene. >> shaq brewster, thank you. still ahead, we are just days away from the next primetime january 6 hearing, the new evidence the committee expects in the coming days. plus happening right now in washington, former trump strategist steve bannon is in court, what is at stake for him. that conversation coming up next. e for him. that conversation coming up that conversation coming up next

happening right now in a washington, d.c. courthouse, jury selection under way in the contempt trial of former trump adviser steve bannon. steve bannon has refused to comply with a subpoena so far. ken, the government saying it could just take a couple days. bannon's attorney saying it could be more than a week. talk us through what is at stake here for steve bannon. >> reporter: what is at stake very simply could be his freedom. we got here because steve bannon defied congressional subpoenas for documents and for his testimony about his efforts to overturn the election and the justice department has indicted him and we're now picking a jury because despite his efforts to

delay this trial, the trump appointed judge has sped it right along. so he is inside this courthouse behind me. and what the committee wanted to know from steve bannon in particular was about his activities in the willard hotel not too far from where i'm standing the night before january 6 and recall that steve bannon said on his radio show that all hell was going to break loose the next day and the committee said that indicated some kind of foreknowledge about what took place. that willard hotel suite was sort of like the war room for the big lie. rudy giuliani was there, and the committee wants to know what bannon can tell them about that. they are not likely to get that information. they have referred him to the justice department and that probably means that he is never going to testify, but it also provides an important message and deterrence to other witnesses who might want to try to defy the committee. we've seen that not too many have. some have, but not very many.

bannon faces a penalty of up to a year from prison on each of these counts, but they are misdemeanors so he may not go to jail at all. >> so a trump appointed judge and his lawyer asking quote/unquote what is the point of going to trial if there are no defenses. and the judge in fact agreed to that. what is his defense here? >> he doesn't really have a defense. this is a very simple case. bannon received a subpoena. he refused to comply with the subpoena. he was given reasonable opportunity to and he continued to refuse to comply. and that is the government's case right there. it is not a difficult case. it should be a very short trial. one assumes, although i hate to crystal ball juries, but one assumes that it will be a prompt

conviction and then it will be on sentencing. >> all right, ken delanian, i'll let you know. joyce, we'll talk january 6 while i have you. in just three days time, the committee scheduled to hold a primetime hearing on capitol hill, that hearing on thursday expected to focus on those crucial 187 minutes between former president trump's speech on the elipse to when he finally sent out the super i had i don't video asking the capitol attackers to go home. members of the panel say that they expect to receive by tomorrow text messages that the secret service reportedly erased on the day before and the day of the snurks. insurrection. ali vitali is joining me as well. what can we expect thursday, what are we hearing? >> reporter: we know this will be the last in the summer series of hearings. i'm thinking about it as not so much as the series finale but

the season finale. in part because they keep finding new information, they call in new witnesses. former overstock ceo was with them on friday talking about in part that december 18 meeting that chairman raskin and congresswoman murphy detailed in the last hearing. so for the committee, that has always been the challenge, active fact finding with the active fabt presentation. what we'll see thursday though is really a minute by minute accounting of what was happening on capitol hill that day juxtaposed with the inaction in the white house. and if you live to adam kinzinger this week weekend, he was saying that they filled in a lot of blanks. listen. >> we have filled in the blanks, this is going to open people's eyes in a big way. the reality is, i'll give you this preview, the president didn't do very much but gleefully watched television during this time frame. we'll present a lot more than that. >> reporter: so look, what we're seeing is an intense focus on what was happening here on the

hill with a heavy contrast of what was happening inside the white house. and part of that could include and will likely include testimony from people like pat cipollone, key witnesses who came late to this but who the committee is integrating in a big way. >> joyce, i want to play for you first before we talk some sound from congresswoman on cnn yesterday talks about who else we'll be hearing from on thursday. >> there are other witnesses we've spoken to who have yet to appear in our previous hearings who will add a lot of value and information to events of that critical time on january 6. there will definitely be people included in the hearing who we have not heard from so far. >> wondering, joyce, do you feel as if more folks are feeling the pressure to in fact testify especially publicly on the record? you think about to cassidy hutchinson's testimony, how integral it became that cipollone was involved, right,

in that day. and how many gaps he needed to fill. and then we subsequently heard from then cipollone. do you think the same is happening with other witnesses who are now coming forward to in fact testify, feeling compelled to testify? >> cassidy hutchinson's testimony obviously ramped up pressure on a lot of people, including pat cipollone, to come forward. at this point in an investigation, if this was a criminal case, we'd be thinking about it as you are either on the bus or you are under the bus. you are either on the side of the government telling the truth or you line up with a defendant who has committed some very serious potentially criminal acts. and that is where many of these folks who are inside of the white house as the events played out on january 6 now find themselves. it will be interesting to see who these new witnesses are and of course the committee is now talking to the jury of the american people, a big part of this concluding hearing, i like

how ali says it, this is the season finale, not the entire finale, is this about persuading the american people this president is not fit to govern. >> we've all watched a lot of netflix, so definitely see things in season finales versus the final. joyce, can we talk about the erased text messages? a spokesperson for the agency denying that they deleted the data, that it was lost during a, quote, pre-planned three month system migration. how concerning is it the possibility that these really important text messages were in fact erased? >> having lived through a number of these, i would say that we should never underestimate the possibility of screwups by the government during a systems migration. but the reality here is this, there are records retention policies in place inside of the

government. i was involved in some of the most incarnations of those for federal law enforcement officers. that require backup of these kinds of messages. and so these messages are undoubtedly retained somewhere on the system. they can undoubtedly be resurrected. you will recall during the trump administration, there was controversy about deletion of some text messages between two fbi officials, pete strzok and lisa page. and ultimately the agency was able to go back into the system and find them. the secret service should be able to do that here. and if they can't, that will be a real red flag that something is seriously amiss. >> ali vitali, joyce vance, thank you both. and you can catch special coverage of the next january 6 hearing this thursday beginning at 7:00 p.m. eastern, 4:00 p.m. pacific right here on msnbc. up next, what the white house has to say about the controversial visit of president biden to the crown prince of saudi arabia. we'll ask john kirby what the

all right. so that was the president after wrapping up his first presidential rip to the middle east and clearly it was not free from controversy. he said he challenged the saudi crown prince over the killing of jamal khashoggi despite an opposite account from the country's foreign minister. and with his eyes on gas prices, the president believes that oil producers will increase output in the coming weeks. but was the controversial fist bump we saw the political price for less pain at the pump? i want to bring in john kirby. thanks for joining us, sir. let's talk through some of the controversies that we've heard over the last couple days following the president's trip. i know you had some successes there as well. we'll get into that. but first, clear up the conversation between mbs and the

president. what actually went down? >> the president was nothing but clear when he went to the cameras after that meeting and talked about exactly how he brought it up, when he brought it up, and how straight he was about our continued concerns about mr. khashoggi's killing. he mentioned it right at the top of the meeting. and he made it clear that he still believes that the crown prince has a role of responsibility on this. and so he was very honest with the american people right after that meeting that it was the first thing on his agenda. >> so with that, i can't help but ask also about the conversation the president possibly had with israeli government as well about the killing of journalist shireen abu akleh. >> absolutely. the president brought that up. he continues to work with both the israelis and palestinians to want to get accountability, to get full answers. he knows that the family is grieving and i knows that they want answers. he wants those answers as well. he wants to be as transparent as

possible, but he absolutely brought it up. >> and let's talk about deliverables here then. sticking with saudi arabia. you are looking at the national average now according to aaa down around $4.52. so we're in a better place than we were about a month ago, but not where we were about a year and a half ago. when you look at that, americans really concerned about gas prices in this country right now, really concerned about inflation, a lot of things contributing to those numbers. what are the deliverables coming out of saudi arabia considering the fact that they are tapped out when it comes to oil production in their country? >> there was a very robust discussion in the context of the gcc but also bilateral discussions with the saudis about energy security and oil production. there was no announcements planned or expected as a result of this visit, but as you heard the president say after his meeting with the crown prince and saudi officials, he feels optimistic that in two, three weeks there could be some future announcements of additional oil production coming out of the

region. it is an opec decision, it is not just something the saudis do unilaterally. so we'll look forward to seeing what they come out with. and it is important to remember one of the reasons why we think that you are seeing the decrease in gas prices is that opec+ 3 increase by 50% planned increasing in july and august added to the million barrels a day that the united states is releasing from its strategic reserve, all of that has helped stabilize the market. it is a global market, it has helped depressurize that and we believe that that is having an effect on those gas prices. >> so if there wasn't necessarily a win when it comes to gas and oil production coming out of saudi, what was the point of this meeting, what was the win for the united states? because some would argue that this was a win for mbs, hearing from our president that he wouldn't meet with mbs for so long. >> there was so much on the agenda that gets right at u.s. national interests in the region. whether it is the saudis committing to trying to extend the ceasefire in yemen, which is now in its 15th week, thousands

of lives have been saved, unifying around the threat that iran poses, not just from the nuclear ambitions but from their burgeoning ballistic missile capability, their support for terrorism, gcc countries announced a $3 billion investment to the partnership for global infrastructure and investment that the president announced back in the g7 a few weeks ago, from food security donations and contributions, bringing iraq into the electrical grid of the gcc. may not sound like much to folks here in the united states, but anything that can be done to stabilize and make iraq more independent and more secure and more prosperous is good for the region and good for the united states national security interests as well. so there was an awful lot discussed and advanced on this trip. and again, i want to stress, while we didn't go into this trip planning to have an announcement on oil production, there was a robust discussion about that and again, as you heard the president, we're optimistic that that discussion could lead to potentially some announcements coming forward in the next two to three weeks.

>> so you bring up iran. willing to sit down with saudi arabia who we know is responsible for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. why not willing to sit down with iran when it comes to especially conversations surrounding oil production, entering the jcpoa a priority? >> we have made the jcpoa is priority and the negotiations quite frankly are essentially complete. there is a deal on the table that would bring iran back into compliance. it is just up to iran now to take that deal. they haven't shown an inclination to want to do that. but it is not just a u.s./iran, it is our european partners as well involved. and again, negotiations are basically complete, we're just waiting on iran to make a decision here. at the same time, ifthey don't come back into compliance, we'll continue to work with partners in the region and in europe to make sure that we continue to put pressure on iran and we're proepgting our national security interests in the region. we have a robust military presence there, that is not

going anywhere. and one of the things that we discussed about this past weekend which gets right at this challenge is a better more integrated air and missile defense capability throughout the region. it is in its burgeoning stages, but there was a very robust discussion about trying to bring the nations in the region together and in a more integrated way for air and missile defense which of course is all about iran and their burgeoning ballistic missile capability as well as their increasing use of uavs. >> one last thing to you, and that is, one of the reasons for this visit was of course to keep russia and china at bay. we know iran and rush a will be russia will be meeting this coming week. how worried are you about that? >> it is concerning to see iran and russia now team up on what looks like the sale of iranian uavs to russia so that russia can use those to cause more death and destruction inside ukraine. it is a seen of how isolated both nations are that iran refuses to condemn russia's

unprovoked aggression in ukraine and is willing to help russia now prosecute this war. but also a sign of increasing desperation of mr. putin that he has to turn to iran now to support his efforts inside ukraine. we're watching it very closely for our part, we'll continue to make sure we're providing ukraine with all the security assistance we can to help them better defend themselves. and there will be more announcements on that in coming days as well. >> john kirby, sir, thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. up next, we'll go inside a trauma some are? baltimore for a glimpse into the desperate race to save gunshot victims just this weekend. w w victims just thi ♪♪ "shake your thang" by salt n pepa

discrimination this year alone, over 160 pieces of legislation have been moved to curtail our rights within our communities. and we're just at an inflection point where we have to stand all together and make sure that we protect everyone, particularly our youth. >> what does that look like to you standing all together? how do you affect change? >> i think that it means that we have to all understand that it's not just lgbtq people who are implicated when these restrictions are happening. we should be building a world where all youth are able to freely and safely express themselves. and so that means that parents, particularly of lgbtq youth or parents who are just trying to grow and raise youth who are healthy and affirming of diversity need to be coming together to say, no, it is not okay for us to say that lgbtq youth can't be who we know them to be. and that they can't express

their truths. i mean, we are really in a time where there's so much attack on truth, on facts, i mean, just the other day, we saw the previous secretary of education come out and say that she thinks that the department of education should be abolished. so you're seeing these attacks on the educational system. >> we feel as if these are attacks on multilevels. raquel willis, we thank you for joining us on this. appreciate it. that wraps up the hour for me, everybody. but i'm going to be back after a quick break with more news, including a warning from dr. anthony fauci over monkey pox. we'll be right back. y fauci ove. with the speed of astepro, almost nothing can slow you down. because astepro starts working in 30 minutes, while other allergy sprays take hours. we'll be right back.
