good morning. 10:00 a.m. eastern, 7:00 a.m. pacific. i'm jose diaz-balart. calls for police reform following the release of the disturbing video showing the deadly beating of tyre nichols by five former memphis police

officers. we have the latest on a very painful weekend. a new nbc news poll shows just how concerned americans are over president biden's and former president trump's handling of classified documents. steve kornacki is back at the big board with a look at the numbers. students are back in class at a virginia elementary school for the first time since a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher. we'll tell you about the new safety protocols now in place. moments from now, secretary of state antony blinken will meet with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the midst of the worst explosion of israeli-palestinian violence in years. back at home, the super bowl lineup is set, the eagles versus the chiefs. buffalo bills player damar hamlin speaks out for the first time since collapsing on the field earlier this month. >> it's just been a lot to process. i can't tell you how appreciative i am of all the love, all the support and everything that's just been

coming in my way. this morning demands for change across the country following the release of disturbing video showing the violent encounter between memphis police and 29-year-old tyre nichols. the video shows nichols beaten by police after a traffic stop. he died in the the hospital three days later. it' sending shock waves throughout the nation, sparking protests in major cities and difficult conversations about race, policing and use of force. now, as tyre nichols prepares to lay him to rest on wednesday, we're hearing their reaction to the fallout. >> i feel like my son was sacrificed for the greater good and there's going to be a lot of good that comes out of this. hopefully we can help another kid and another family not go through something like this. my son will always be

remembered, and i will continue to fight until justice is served for him. >> the video already ushering in some changes in memphis. over the weekend the memphis police department permanently deactivated the s.c.o.r.p.i.o.n. unit tasked with addressing violent street crime. all five officers involved in the death were part of the unit. attorneys for two of the officers say they will plead not guilty. joining us with more is nbc news correspondent ellison barber live from memphis and former federal prosecutor at the university of chicago lawsuit, sharon phegley. ellison, how are officials reacting to what they saw over the weekend? >> reporter: when that video was released friday evening, you were hard-pressed to find anyone in memphis and beyond who did not feel absolute disgust at

what they saw in that video. for this community, for family members of tyre nichols, for people who loved him or see their own loved ones in his face, disgust is not enough. they want to see change. here in memphis from the sidewalks to enter states to the park where tyre nichols spent a lot of time skateboarding and taking photos, we are seeing members of this community come together to demand a change. we're also hearing it in the pulpit. listen. >> -- tyre still deserves some answers. until then we've got to continue to fight -- >> reporter: he mentioned the disbanding of the so-called s.c.o.r.p.i.o.n. unit in memphis. for a lot of people in this community, community activists, they say that is a welcome move,

a positive step forward. they're hoping that is just a step and not the end. what we have heard protesters, activists, tyre's family call for is justice for tyre nichols, but also bigger, deeper, systemic changes as it relates to policing in this community and this nation. jose. >> ellison, what's next for the investigation meanwhile? >> the d.a. for shelby county has said that this is still very much an ongoing investigation. he said that they wanted to release that body camera footage that we saw on friday until they had conducted interviews with witnesses because they wanted to speak to witnesses prior to that video being made public, but that being said, he has not taken it off the table that we could still see additional charges. just this weekend, after the video was released, we heard from the sheriff of shelby county. he said after seeing the body camera footage released on friday night, he had concerns about behaviors involving two of

his deputies. he says those two deputies have now been placed kind of on leave. they've been removed from their duties pending an internal investigation. so there are still things going on here, still investigations taking place. again, as recently as this morning on msnbc's "morning joe," you had the district attorney for this county saying additional charges are certainly possible. jose. >> sharon, what questions do you have about, for example, the department, how it operates given what we saw in these videos? >> the videos raise a lot of questions, number one, around culture, the department culture and whether or not it's a culture that embraces the idea of accountability and what is going on with the department systemically that would allow this to happen. clearly the excessive force was brutal and egregious, but they did it thinking that they might have gotten away with it. so what does that say about the

system in place to make sure that events like that are brought to light? there should be a lot of concerns about the accountability system and the department's culture in terms of embracing the ideas of duty to intervene and duty to report misconduct when it happens. >> so if you were a prosecutor in this case, what are the portions of the video that mostly you would focus on as being such a flagrant example? >> well, there's a lot there. obviously there's the portion of the video that actually shows the beating and the misconduct, the force. so that's incredibly important. but it's also important to understand the duty to intervene in which officers were in a position to see what was happening, had an opportunity to intervene and then failed to intervene. that, also, is a legal obligation on the part of officers. so that's an important piece of it as well. >> talk to me about that legal responsibility of intervening if

one sees something. what does that legally mean? >> right. so many departments have policies around this idea that, if you are seeing someone whose constitutional rights are being violated by one of your colleagues and you have an opportunity to stop it, then you should. most federal courts also recognize this as a legal obligation, and it really requires that someone actually know or have reason to know that someone's constitutional rights are being violated, primarily in the area of excessive force. but then they also have to have an opportunity to intervene and be able to do so in a reasonable manner, like not putting themselves at risk too much. when they fail to honor that duty, they can be held legally accountable. >> ellison barber and sharon fairley, thank you for being with us. we're joined by tennessee state senator mamesh ackberry.

how is your community doing this morning? >> i think everyone has been reeling since we were first made aware of the murder of tyre nichols. you saw we had several peaceful demonstrations throughout the weekend where people were calling for police reform. the bottom line is no part of what happened to tyre nichols was acceptable. we as a community and elected officials are going to make sure this doesn't happen again. i think that's the most important part moving forward. >> how do you make sure something like this doesn't happen again? for example, the police department announcing the shutting down of the s.c.o.r.p.i.o.n. unit. is that enough? >> no. that was a good first step. certainly the examination of other specialty units is important, and the overall examination of culture of police departments, not just many memphis but across the country. you can't legislate cultural change. however, we do have several

pieces of legislation we'll be proposing at the state level around use of force, a duty to intervene, duty to provide care and really following up on the eight can't wait police reform legislation that was passed a couple years ago. >> you can't legislate culture, something you just said. but how do you as legislators have something that can make a difference in something like this never happening again? >> i think we can put teeth in the legislation that requires certain obligations of police officers. by teeth i mean actual criminal punishment, not just, oh, you're going to lose your job. nichols was the extreme situation. how many other people out there have been victims of police brutality where they didn't lose their life and attention wasn't brought to it. an officer might lose their job, but in this case we'd also like to see them have criminal repercussions so they don't

leave, say, the memphis police department and go to another police department. i think that's what we have to focus on. again, holding our police chief accountable, our d.a., our mayor accountable, they've done really great under extenuating circumstances, but the next step is actually attacking the culture and the environment that allowed something like this to happen. >> senator, how do you or anybody else process what we saw in those videos? >> you know, it was devastating. i think we all thought, is this 2023? it was compared to the rodney king beating, and i think it was devastating. i think to see your city getting international attention for all the wrong reasons, to see such a beautiful soul like tyre who loved sunsets and skateboarding, just from the minute he was pulled over be in a situation where he was a victim of violence. it was absolutely heartbreaking, and i feel for his family.

i feel for our community. i think we have a lot of healing to do. i've said all weekend, it's healing, but it's also change. that's two-fold. a lot of people thought memphis was going to riot and burn. i said we are peaceful, but we are not silent, and i think that's what i look forward to seeing in the next few day, how we can continue to support the wells family but remember the legacy of tyre by pushing for meaningful report. >> state senator raumesh akbri, thank you. how we're live in kyiv. why job approval ratings for democrats and republicans are on the cool side. steve kornacki is here with new numbers from our nbc news poll. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports."

lawmakers could soon get some answers on the classified documents controversy. the justice department told the senate intelligence committee it is actively working to brief lawmakers about the potential national security risks after classified material was found in the possession of president biden, former president trump trump and former vice president mike pence. that's according to a letter shared by a source familiar with the matter. this comes as a new nbc news poll finds an equal number of

americans, 67%, say they are concerned about classified information being found at president biden's residence and former office as they are about those found at donald trump's home despite clear differences in how biden and trump responded to these discoveries. one of the many things we're learning from the new nbc news poll about how americans are feeling right now. with us to take a closer look, nbc news national political correspondent steve kornacki, nbc news correspondent shaquille brewster and victor i don't yeah soto from the university of arkansas. >> the key is we're getting our first look at 2023, public attitudes, our first look at attitudes since republicans took control of the power of the house. we're finding a political climate overall that still looks an awful lot like it did in 2022. you see in our new nbc poll,

biden's approval rating remains 45%, under water, 50% disapprove. you compare that to some of the numbers in the run-up to the midterm election, it's right pretty much where it was. joe biden still not that popular, still under water. public attitudes about the economy, about pocketbook issues, folks judging their income compared to the cost of living. two-thirds of voters say they feel like they are falling behind economically with rising prices versus what they make in terms of income, too. a lot of pessimism still economically. take a look at this big chart, we asked about a whole bunch of different attributes about president biden here. what emerges is the president -- the approval rating is not that high, and a lot of these attributes he does pretty well, is he's si going and likable. above water there. honest and trustworthy, competent and effective, does

not score that well. concerns about mental and physical health. over 50% say they have concerns there. overall you see democrats, joe biden not that popular. but when i say this is similar to 2022, what happened in 2022? despite all this democrats had a decent midterm, gained a senate seat, nearly kept control of the house. why is that? because the other key element to the political climate of 2022 also exists here in early 2023. it's this, biden under water, democrats under water, not that popular. but republicans even more under water, even less popular than democrats. donald trump even less popular than joe biden. that's with the 2022 midterms in key races turned on, something we hadn't seen before in midterm elections, where there was a referendum between biden and the democrats, trump and the republicans. there was more of a choice between the two of them than a

referendum on the president like we've seen in past midterm elections. we're still seeing that dynamic. asking republicans, do you consider yourself more a supporter of trump for the republican party, a third say trump is their main loyalty. you can this question, do you consider yourself a supporter of the make america great again movement, two-thirds of republicans say yes. so that really is the question for 2023. biden and democrats remain unpopular, but is trump going to remain the face of the republican party? that's the big story and question for 2023. >> big question indeed. shaq, this poll comes one year before the start of the presidential primary season. you've been speaking with voters in new hampshire. how are they feeling? >> reporter: i've been getting weird looks from folks as i've been asking them about 2024, just a couple months removed from the 202 midterm elections. it's reflected what you see in that poll.

there's not much optimism that much will get done in terms of when you look at the divided government that we're not facing in washington, d.c. i want to pull out two specific numbers. when asked about president biden's interactions with the republican congress, you have 45% of americans saying that president biden will be too inflexible when dealing with congress. when asked the reverse of that question, how the republican congress will deal with president biden, you have 54% of americans saying the republicans will be too inflexible in their dealings. that's not a good sign, jose, considering the big issues, the big problems that both sides are going to have to hammer out. i want you to listen to some of my conversations with folks that add a little bit of color to those numbers. >> i would say the republicans are definitely more stubborn in their convictions and in their ways for sure. >> well, no, i don't think they're going to work with biden, no. how can you work with him? he's not willing to.

well, his way, but it's not good for america. >> i think he will be flexible because he's been in the government for, like, 50 years. he kind of knows how it works. but the people who just came in, they're not going to be as flexible. he may have to give up more than he wants to. >> reporter: to add to that, jose, there are the questions over what the new hampshire primary will look like come next year. democrats are trying to remove that first-in-the-nation primary status. even democrats say, hey, it's the law, not much we can do about the timeline. that's another battle we'll be watching. >> victoria, when you hear shaq with those voters talking about flexibility, about what side can be more flexible than the other side, how important is that, victoria, to voters? it seems like flexibility is not exactly the most popular thing

now in washington. >> it's not the most popular thing, jose, but it's what most americans want. we have extremes on both sides of the aisle. the truth of the matter is most americans clump in that middle. that's where that hunger is. interestingly in talking about that middle, you see this middle is frustrated with both former president trump and president biden when it comes to the classified documents. over half of both democrats and republicans said that they are very concerned. it's not just that the republicans are concerned or the democrats are concerned, but it's the folks within their own party. i think this is going to be something that both parties are going to have to deal with, is meeting that middle. they've got to keep the base happy, but also that mushy middle. one number that really struck me from what steve just threw up

there is the economic angst that continues. two-thirds of americans are still really worried about making it. as we look to 2024, this is going to be another key indicator. are people feeling confident? if so, that's going to help joe biden. if not, that's where republicans really are going to have a bit of a chance to make their way. >> victoria, another issue that was brought up in this poll is when it comes to immigration, the poll found 80% -- 80% of americans think congress should provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who meet certain requirements including background checks. 72% think congress should increase funding for border security. so it's almost like the american people are providing a pathway for congress to address immigration reform, but they're not listening. >> they are not. these numbers are not new. they are higher than what we've seen previously. again, that's the frustration. the american public says we see

how broken our immigration system is. let's fix it, let's do something about it. let's start with the low-hanging fruit, a pathway to citizenship for the dreamers and those already here. it has become a red meat issue in the republican party, and this is the juggernaut that prevents congress from doing something and listening to that middle of the american public. >> steve kornacki, shaquille brewster and victoria sosa, thank you so much. students are back in class at the elementary school where a 6-year-old shot his teacher. we'll hear from one parent who says she has serious concerns for her kid's safety. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. e diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. so it's decided, we'll park even deeper into parking spaces so people think they're open. surprise.

to file a lawsuit against the school district saying it failed to act despite multiple warnings. nbc's catie beck is reporting from newport news, virginia. catie, what else has changed? do families feel like enough has been done? are they feeling safe? >> jose, you have those physical changes that, of course, include the metal detector, clear backpacks, this morning a huge police presence at the door. we're also hearing about those administrative changes which are more meaningful to parents, knowing the school board fired the superintendent, knowing the principal and assistant principal who were here when the incident happened are no longer here. parents are saying there's a sense of calm, there will be a change in direction, a change in culture and maybe these warning signs, if they happen again, will be responded to differently. generally speaking this morning, i think most parents are excited to get their kids back to

school. it's been three weeks since they've had any instruction and see their friends. students were eager to get back in the door. they made that process as warm and inviting as possible. they had about a dozen police officers lining the walkway, giving high fives, giving out flowers. they have therapy dogs inside the school to make this transition a little more comforting for students. that being said, some parents have their anxieties. here is what one mom had to say. >> i don't think anything they have done has, like, eased or lessened my worries about them returning to school. it feels like we can't trust the staff at all. >> reporter: now, the newport news police department says their investigation of possible charges in this incident still on going. they say they expect to have it wrapped up within the next two weeks. jose. >> catie beck, thank you so much. now back to washington where a white house officials confirms

president biden and house speaker kevin mccarthy will sit down with their first face-to-face meeting since mccarthy became speaker earlier this month. they're expected to meet on wednesday the fight over raising the nation's debt limit is among the issues the two men are expected to discuss. nbc's ali vitali joins us from capitol hill with more. good morning. what are the expectations for this meeting? >> reporter: jose, everyone knows what to expect if the u.s. were to default on its debt. it would be catastrophic for the economy. everyone is aware of the stakes. going into the meeting, if you're republicans, the fact that mccarthy is meeting with president biden is in some ways a win, especially because biden and democrats have said they don't want to negotiate on raising the debt ceiling. to them it's just something that needs to be dealt with and dealt with efficiently. you listen to the way mccarthy talks about it, it's clear he thinks compromise will win the

day. here is what he's targeting. >> i know the president said he didn't want to have any discussion, but i thit's very important that our whole government is designed to find compromise. i want to find a reasonable and responsible way we can lift the debt ceiling but take control of this runaway spending. i want to look at every single dollar we're spending. i want to eliminate waste wherever it is. >> look, when he's talking about waste there, it's the conversation of where are you actually going to do these spending cuts because that's the thing that republicans want out of this deal. are they going to cap spending dollars. democrats have tried to say republicans are going to try to target programs like social security and medicare. mccarthy and other top republicans have said in recent days that's not the area that they're looking to target, but it does continue to beg the question, if you're going -- where are you going to cut spending from? so far, jose, they have been very, very light on the details. we'll be looking when that

meeting happens if we can get a little bit more information as to where republicans see these cuts even coming from. >> ali vitali on capitol hill. thank you so much. up next, as the nation reels yet again from the brutal death of an unarmed black man at the hands of police, we'll take a look at what police reform might look like at the federal level. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports."

maryland police department. she's also a member of law enforcement action partnership. thank you for being with us, sonia. >> you're welcome. >> what did you see when you saw those videos? >> oh, gosh, so many things that ran through my mind. a here-we-go-again situation. another similarly unarmed black man being terrorized. tyre nichols was clearly in fear for his life. i saw a band of police officers who seemingly could not control their anger. they were not acting in a mature and professional way that is expected. they are terrorizing a man. and then i saw a violent assault that ultimately led to the death

of tyre nichols. i saw these officers were mostly black men. so i saw many things. i saw some more things, but those are things that stood out to me most immediately. >> "the new york times" analyzed the video and noted officers shouted 71 commands over a roughly 13-minute period. many of them contradictory. how does this shape the direction of this type of encounter? give me your hands, put your hands behind your back, stand up, sit down. all of these commands were contradictory. how does that shape things? >> so, words matter. when you are trained as a police officer you are trained to be very clear and direct in your commands, and so if you are screaming command after command quickly, there's really no which that someone can respond -- a

human being can respond so quickly to each of those commands that are so rapid fire. that could have been intentional. it would have been something that was happening in the heat of the moment. i don't know. but whatever it was, it was still unprofessional and it led to this tragic outcome because no one, no one, tie ri nichols or anyone else could possibly comply with those types of commands at that speed. it was just so -- it was wrong. it was wrong in so many ways. >> sonia, you've spoken out on the lack of a timely medical response, pointing out it took an ambulance minutes to arrive on the scene. what does reform look like on that level? >> i'm glad you said that. reform is going to have to be holistic, meaning it's not just about what the police does. it's about what all the systems are doing surrounding the police

department. what is ems doing? when they got there, i cannot believe that they could not see that tyre nichols was in need of help, that he was on the verge of a true -- already in a medical crisis. so that they would not act expediently boggles my mind. you see i'm having difficulty finding my words today, because the more i talk about it, the more -- it's so heinous, the actions that were taken. they probably come into contact with them a lot. what was that dynamic? i think we'll probably see that come out in court, those details. >> sonia, the officers clearly could see that tyre was just slumped over. there was no urgency even to check on him. >> so part of policing culture,

besides the violence, is the inability -- the ability to dehumanize and objectify other people. dehumanization and object fi case makes it easier to take action against someone because now you don't actually see them as another human being, as a person, as someone you can relate to like a brother or father or uncle or son. it is part of the culture that we really need to focus on i think. we need to talk about it. officers get drawn into the policing culture, and they probably don't even think about that aspect of it. but it is really, really important. i think that is one of the reasons why it leads to so many deaths, not to mention black people, we always seem to be the ones that are dehumanized and objectified. >> sonia pruitt, thank you for

visit there? >> the secretary was speaking to cameras immediately after he landed in israel. he addressed the recent violence, the shooting outside a synagogue on friday night, saturday morning another shooting and, of course, that raid last thursday on the west bank which the israelis say was a counterterrorism operation but in which some civilians were killed as well. he said already too much blood has been spilled on the palestinian and israeli side, and he said only one thing could stop what he called a rising tide of violence. take a listen. >> it's the responsibility of everyone to take steps to calm tensions rather than inflame them. >> reporter: secretary blinken will be talking about the recent violence, talking about palestinian relations with israel on this visit, and he'll be reaffirming the u.s.'s support for a two-state solution

here in israel. he'll be meeting with palestinian leader mahmoud abbas tomorrow. i spoke to the head of israel's largest think tank. he said in spite of the fact that israel elected one of the most hard line governments in history, the idea of palestinian statehood is still alive. take a listen. >> i think it's not -- it's almost off the table, but not absolute. that is prime minister netanyahu still has a vision that eventually what we are doing right now is temporary. and eventually we need to achieve some kind of solution. the problem is that his perspective is -- other side. >> reporter: and another very big topic on the table for this

meeting, iran. over the weekend, there was a drone strike at a military facility in iran. nbc news has not been able to verify the video of that strike, both israel and the cia have refused to comment on it, but the iranians are blaming the u.s. and israel. the question will be how to contain iran and its military and nuclear ambitions going forward given that it doesn't look like this nuclear agreement is going to be revived. jose. >> kelly cobiella in jerusalem, thank you. and turning now to the war in ukraine where president zelenskyy is calling for western allies to send modern fighter jets to ukraine. "politico" reports that some u.s. military officials are pushing to send ukraine f-16s fighter jets that could help ukraine defend against incoming missile and drone attacks. the new calls come as ukrainian tank crews have started to arrive in the uk for training,

and as a ukrainian official says several countries have agreed to provide more than 300 tanks to ukraine. joining us now from kyiv, nbc's raf sanchez. good to see you. what's the latest on the ground there today? >> reporter: well, jose civilians in the east and the south of ukraine have been under russian fire overnight, and this morning ukrainian authorities say the cities of kharkiv and kherson both heavily shelled by vladimir putin's forces, at least five people have been killed so far, and in kherson a hospital was hit according to local authorities there. jose, we're also hearing from former british prime minister boris johnson who is saying that in a phone call with vladimir putin shortly before the start of the war, the russian president threatened him, the leader of great britain with a missile strike. take a listen to what he had to say. >> he threatened me at one point and said, you know, boris, i don't want to hurt you, but with a missile it would only take a

minute or something like that, you know. >> reporter: now, the kremlin is saying boris johnson's comments are a lie and it is worth noting neither the british nor the russian readouts of that phone call made any mention. jose, as you said, president zelenskyy is pushing not just for tanks at this point, but for western fighter jets. he is saying that is what ukraine needs next as it faces a potential russian offensive possibly starting in the next few weeks. jose. >> raf sanchez in kyiv, thank you so very much. appreciate it. up next, why super bowl lvii will be a super bowl of firsts. plus, how a lifeguard made history in front of tens of thousands of people all while on his lunch break. you're watching josé diaz-balart reports. reports.
