tv   Jose Diaz- Balart Reports  MSNBC  February 1, 2023 7:00am-8:00am PST

7:00 am
>> all right. >> that's a good news story. >> nobody knows how they got there. they don't know who did it. >> some newscasts end with the squirrels. >> monkeys, documents. >> but let's talk about the documents. what can you tell us, jonathan, in the remaining moments? >> as discussed, no warning needed. these fbi agents currently at the house, expected to be there for several hours. this is president biden's vacation home where he does spend some time. the white house has said they'll update us later on today with what was discovered. >> we stepped all over the biggest story of the day, willie nelson still not in the rock and roll hall of fame. are you kidding me? >> true, true. >> tom brady's in the hall of fame. >> that does it for us this morning. >> that injustice is going to be rectified. >> josé diaz-balart picks up the coverage right now. good morning, 10:00 a.m. eastern, 7:00 a.m. pacific, i'm josé diaz-balart, and we are following breaking news. nbc news confirms that the fbi
7:01 am
is searching president biden's delaware beach house according to three sources familiar with the situation. nbc's mike memoli is following this for us. mike, good morning. what do we know? >> well, jose, obviously we've been following this situation for multiple months now as president biden's first his personal attorneys and then fbi investigators have discovered classified documents at various locations tied to the president. but this is significant because this is the third search now that we're aware of that the fbi itself has conducted. the first was in mid-november. we confirm that one just yesterday. it was at the penn biden center, the office president biden used when he was out of office. then of course on january 20th, a more than 12-hour search of the president's personal home in wilmington, delaware, which we learned about just the following days, and now nbc news is confirming that this search is underway actually as we speak, jose, fbi agents were seen arriving at his home in rehoboth beach, delaware, this morning,
7:02 am
and we're told in a statement from the president's personal counsel that bob bauer, that this search is being cone with the full support and cooperation of the president. the search today bauer says is a further step in a thorough and timely doj process. whether he continue to fully support and facilitate. they add that there will be additional information later today. we learned in that january 21st statement about the search the day before from bob bauer that they had discovered additional potentially sensitive or classified documents as well as having taken a number of handwritten notes, note books our colleague carol lee reported a significant number of note books following that search. what's interesting about this is when we first learned of the discovery of classified documents at the penn biden center, that is when this story broke earlier this month, the search was about maybe a handful of documents that had been taken perhaps by mistake in a quick
7:03 am
packing process from biden's vice presidential office in the west wing as he was preparing to leave in january 2017. the fact that we are now seeing a search at the president's home in rehoboth beach, delaware. this is the home he purchased after he left the white house. he didn't own the property yet. so i think this speaks to one of the concerns that obviously biden allies have, which is that once you have a special counsel overseeing this search, once law enforcement sinks its teeth into an investigation, something can very quickly go beyond what the initial scope of the inquiry was, and so as we understand from one of the source, our colleagues are talking to is that the fbi agents in this case were not given any particular instructions about what to look for. obviously but that they are going to be looking for anything marked classified. i think obviously it stands to reason, once you have fbi investigators on the case, things can go in an unpredictable direction.
7:04 am
>> and mike, we don't really know whether there was any search done by, for example, the president's lawyers or team of lawyers in that home, or do we even know if this is the first time the fbi is in that home? >> so this is the first time that we know that fbi is there. but we know from the series of statements we've been receiving over the course of the past month from the president's personal attorney and separately from the white house counsel is that after the discovery of those initial documents in early november at the penn biden center, there were searches undertaken by the president's own lawyers of all the additional locations, his wilmington home and his rehoboth beach home. i think what is also potentially interesting, jose, this is both an unexpected but a none theless important development. it stood to reason that fbi investigators would want to search the president's rehoboth beach home. now we enter the territory of what additional locations might
7:05 am
they be interested in searching that are connected to the president, penn biden center in downtown washington was one obviously e location, of course, his home in wilmington another. might there be additional locations? we know, for instance, that part of what the fbi investigators took that their custody is not just documents relating to his time as vice president but documents relating to his time as a u.s. senator. president biden as vice president donated all of his senate papers, for instance, to the university of delaware, his alma mater. is that a location that investigators might want to search. this is all in the realm of speculation. it's worth noting that we have sort of potentially seen now the obvious locations search and any additional locations we ultimately discover that they are searching as well would speak to investigators' goals and potentially the inquiry moving forward. >> mike memoli, thank you so very much. really appreciate it. and joining us now for more legal context is msnbc legal
7:06 am
analyst lisa reuben. also joining is frank figliuzzi on the phone. he is an msnbc national security analyst and former fbi assistant director counterintelligence. lisa, what, if anything, can we discern from what the fbi is doing right now at the president's beach home? >> we can discern that the fbi has enough concern to want to do that search itself, jose. when mike was referring to the search that the fbi did at the president's residence in wilmington, you will recall that in the days before that search, biden attorneys found documents on their own but when the fbi came, they found then additional documents and they took away -- according to the statement of the president's personal lawyer -- six classified items. we don't know if those are documents or if those are larger things like thumb drives or computers, and then they also took as we know a number of
7:07 am
nonclassified documents that may have been found in the surroundings. we don't know what those are, except to say they were pertinent to the investigation. the fbi is interested enough in doing a search on its own in the rehoboth residence. they are not taking the president's counsel search on its face or its word. that doesn't mean that there's a level of distrust there. it may be that they're there purely at the invitation of the biden lawyers so that they can end this inquiry sooner. but certainly the fbi wants to do its own search, and that's a luxury that they didn't have with president trump who at eff opportunity has not ever invited the fbi or the department of justice to conduct their own search but has looked for opportunities to block those, jose. >> that is a huge and important difference. so frank, i'm just wondering the initial finding that we know of was last november.
7:08 am
we're now 1st of february, there's kind of a bit by bit search for different places, both for president biden's residences and office, but then, you know, we're looking at former vice president mike pence, who they found documents in his home after he had said that he had no documents. frank, what is the process and just the timing on these issues? >> yeah, you've raise important issues, jose. you know, if i'm leading this investigation, which i would have been if i remained in my position at the fbi, i would in the interest of thoroughness, if for no other reason, i would want to search all known locations of president biden including the beach house. so this in one sense is being done in the interest of thoroughness. it's totally consistent with wanting to be able to say we did every known location. now, you raised the timing issue
7:09 am
which is significant. we have time and distance now between this beach home search and the first penn biden office center space and then the wilmington space. that to me tells me there's been some level of negotiation here. it took a while to get to the beach house and the agreement and the signing of a consent form, which is how this works. now, the other thing for context, while this could be nothing more than routine or consistent for thoroughness, it's been reported thatwide bought this beach home after he left the vice presidency, so there's a very low likelihood that there are documents there. however, comma, if they were to find classified documents in a home he purchased after he left office, this goes into a whole other arena, which means someone who you have transported classified from one place where, you know, he served during his tenure or lived during his
7:10 am
tenure to now a completely different location. that would raise a lot of eyebrows. this had to get done. no one in the fbi wants to say, hey, we cut him a break on the beach house. you've got to get this done. the timing is interesting and the context is interesting. >> but didn't -- i mean, the exact is that he was, you know, former vice president and had access to all kinds of documents in office and may have taken some of it to different places. isn't that the same situation with his office, the pence -- sorry, the biden penn office? i mean, that was after he left the vice presidency. >> here's the interesting question. so here's what we know so far is that it's quite possible that the documents in the penn biden center office and to some extent the documents in the wilmington house may have been literally an error by a staff member boxing
7:11 am
things up at the end of his tenure and sending them inappropriately not realizing there's classified. if we now take this beach home purchased after he left office, that seems to me to take away that defense, so to speak, that, well, a staff member boxed this up and sent it at the end of my tenure because the home wasn't his house after he left office. there could be a different context here. >> i want to bring in michael steele, former rnc chairman, and maryland lieutenant governor and msnbc political analyst. what are you seeing in this? there's the political i guess repercussion to this. there are such huge differences in what is going on with president biden, even former vice president pence and what trump has been doing and not
7:12 am
doing, but politically, does this in any way change that view? i think it does in the sense that the biden team has been, you know -- i use the word aggressive, it may be an overreach to use that word. it may be too strong of a word, but they have been much more forthright in pushing forward with the investigation, not standing in the way. actually in some sense encouraging the fbi and others to move in and to sort of take control of this, but i think frank lays out some scenarios that are very, very important to keep an eye on, particularly with respect to the beach home and that time line. yeah, boxes could have been at one location, you know, inappropriately packed with secret documents or classified documents, and then at some point when they got to the beach house, could you just move those boxes. this is stuff i may want to
7:13 am
refer to later on. we don't know what the back story is. i think in many respects, that's got to be part of this explanation as well. what is the back story in the boxing up of these documents? does it feed into the narrative that frank knows all too well about classified documents? you know, if our government could classify a ham sandwich as a threat to the public, and put it in that box, they would so there are a lot of other things here. i think getting in front of this narrative, more important than anything else is what the biden team has to do, very much as we've seen mike pence try to do by saying fully cooperating. my bad, didn't know these were here. you know, here you are, if there's anything else you need, let me know. that stands obviously in contrast to donald trump. so where this time line, how it unfolds is important. what's the back story on the
7:14 am
documents themselves? what were they, number one, what are they, and two, how did they get in those boxes. and then, three, what else do we need know that you have not disclosed with respect to that process and whether or not that was consistent with what federal regulations required or not. >> michael steele, frank figliuzzi, and lisa rubin. this afternoon, 29-year-old tyre nichols will be laid to rest in memphis, tennessee, days after the world witnessed the video showing the brutal beating by police that led to his death. reverend al sharpton is set to deliver tyre's eulogy. last night tyre nichols' family held a press conference at the mason temple church of god, the same church where dr. martin luther king jr. delivered his
7:15 am
final speech before his assassination in 1968. >> keep fight for justice for my son and our family, protect my wife because she's very from -- fragile right now. we need that for her trust me, and i need it too. let's go be strong tonight. we've got a long fight ahead of us, and we've got to stay strong for it. so justice for tyre. >> justice for tyre. >> justice for tyre. >> justice for tyre. >> joining us now is nbc news correspondent priscilla thompson in memphis. good morning, what's the mood there today? >> reporter: jose, good morning. it is certain to be a very emotional -- folks are saying a final farewell to tyre nichols for not only the community but also the family. you heard rodney wells there, the stepfather of tyre nichols talking about how fragile tyre's
7:16 am
mom is right now, and saying she wasn't even able to speak at that press conference last night. but we did hear from tyre nichols' brother and he talked about how much he is going to miss his little brother. he said that tyre didn't deserve this, and he also said that he wished he could have been there that night to help him, and so that is some of what the family is grappling with as they prepare to head into the church here and begin these services for tyre. at the same time, they are also continuing to call for justice and for change. we know that there is going to be a call to action at the service today. already the family is saying that they are demanding that everyone who was on that scene that night be fired and face whatever charges are relevant to their role in what happened on that night. jose. >> priscilla thompson in memphis, thank you. up next, we're just hours away from the fed announcing its latest rate hike decision, and we're wondering what is going to
7:17 am
happen. well, we'll try to find out, and how it's expected to affect the prices we all pay. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports." so it's decided, we'll park even deeper into parking spaces so people think they're open. surprise.

7:20 am
20 past the hour, now to washington where in just a couple of hours, house speaker kevin mccarthy will head on down pennsylvania avenue to the white house and meet with president biden for the first time as speaker. the two are expected to discuss a host of issues including raising the nation's debt limit
7:21 am
to avoid a possible economic catastrophe. mccarthy told punch bowl news ahead of the meeting the only thing i'm really going to do is gauge you want to negotiate or do you want to play politics. i'm not going to play these games, so you tell me when you want to negotiate. but we're eventually going to have to dance together, so when do you want to play the music? now or later. with us to talk more about this is nbc news capitol hill correspondent ali vitali, and lauren eagan, co-author of the west wing play book. thank you for being with us. ali, the expectations for this meeting are low. what more can you tell us about what they're looking to accomplish in this meeting? >> reporter: yeah, the expectations are basically on the floor here, jose, but it's the opening salvo for these two men, not just on these debt ceiling negotiations but more broadly in terms of the way that they are going to be building a relationship with each other. mccarthy and biden do not have a
7:22 am
long history. biden, of course, served in the senate for many years, even before mccarthy was even thinking about getting into public service. so this is really the beginning of their relationship as well as the beginning of these very high stakes negotiations. no time like the present, i guess, but all eyes are on what these two men are going to be discussing, and there's different things for each party here that would make this meeting a win. for biden, it's laying out what his team put out in that memo that we obtained yesterday, which is basically just trying to get mccarthy, a, to assure him that they will raise the debt limit and not default, and b, say what his spending goals are. if they want to make cuts, which certainly republicans do, biden is going to push mccarthy to outline those, continue to push him to lay out what the gop budget would look like. if you're kevin mccarthy, though, the permission structure here is a little bit different. the fact that he's having this meeting with biden is mccarthy trying to say this is a white house that previously said it didn't want to negotiate on
7:23 am
this, starting negotiations on this. mccarthy is going to want this to sound like an ongoing conversation, a debate over how this is going to move forward. democrats are saying this is them trying to come to the table and trying to make republicans assure them they won't default on the debt. a few different competing goals here for each man as he comes to the table for what's going to be a very lengthy and probably rocky process here. >> yeah, i mean, lauren, just the fact that there's no agreement on what exactly it is, right? is it a meeting or is it a negotiation. the president has made it clear that he will not negotiate on this issue, but is the fact that he's meeting with mccarthy during this time a sign that might be there is something to talk about? >> the white house certainly would not use the word negotiation, so we'll stick to meeting. i think the white house has similarly very low expectations for today's meeting.
7:24 am
they're saying it's probably going to be very boring, and it's just the start of many conversations that are going to be had down the line. i think the white house's stream here is really just patience. they're sort of relying on the fact that mccarthy is coming into this meeting as a bit of a weak speaker and they are looking at, you know, to just a few weeks ago how hard it was for him to even get elected speaker, and he has a lot of work to do in terms of bringing his whole party together, so they're really going to put the ball in his court and say, okay, where are you on this? what are you proposing? so i think that today is just the start of what's going to be many, many conversations that are going to be had over the next few weeks, really the next few months, and again, the white house here is just going to be patient and make this a long waiting game. >> ali, meanwhile, we reported yesterday on a poll which showed that 78% of people in embattled new york congressman george santos's district want him to
7:25 am
resign. 78%. he just responded to that poll. what did he have to say? >> yeah, those are not the numbers that you want to be seeing if you're george santos. they're also not surprising. all of our colleagues who go to that district continue to find people who live there, who voted for santos, who feel duped because of the fact he lied about his resume, who he is, and then of course the potential legal exposure he has on the campaign finance front. nevertheless, he is stepping down from the committees that he's on, but he's not stepping down from congress. here's his reaction to that poll from just the last few minutes. >> i didn't order a poll so i'm not talking about a poll i didn't order. >> 142,000 people asked you to -- this poll says it's over 200,000. >> i said 142,000 voted for me. >> 78% of people in your district -- >> i didn't order a poll. if i order a poll, i'll talk about the poll. >> reporter: our producer kate there giving chase down the stairs as she had so many times before with congressman santos because he has remained
7:26 am
steadfast in this, not engaging with the substance of any of these questions saying that it wasn't his poll, which of course it wasn't, but now still continuing down the line of saying he's not going anywhere even after stepping off committees yesterday. >> and ali, the republican presidential field about to get a little larger? >> reporter: oh, yeah, it sounds like donald trump is about to get his first challenger in former south carolina governor and former u.n. ambassador nikki haley. three sources told me overnight that she is planning to send an invitation as soon as today to some of her backers inviting them to an event in south carolina, in charleston on february 18th. it's from someone within his old administration, trump over the weekend when he was campaigning in south carolina said that haley had recently called him, told him about her intentions. but look, this is something that many of us have been expecting. we expect this to be a field not just full of republicans who are trying to show what the future
7:27 am
of the party might be able to look like. having served in the trump administration or backed trump in the past, it's going to be a really interesting needle to watch them thread, and specifically for nikki haley, you know that my passion is watching the way women run for president should be the first woman on the republican side to enter this field as well. >> as a matter of fact, you have a fantastic book about that. i thank you both for being with us, i thank you for your time. turning to the economy, the federal reserve is planning to announce its next interest rate hike in just a couple of hours. the fed expected to raise its benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point for the first time this year, of course, we're in the first of february. this comes as the fed raised that rate seven times in 2022. with us now to talk more about this is nbc news business and data reporter brian chung. great seeing you. so what are you looking for from the fed today? >> what i'm looking for from the fed is whether or not they're going to signal when they might
7:28 am
stop hiking interest rates. a quarter of a percentage point, it sounds pretty significant because borrowing costs are continuing to go up. it's a slower rate than the half percentage point we saw them move by in december and the 3/4 of a percentage point they saw in multiple meetings. ed borrowing costs are going to remain on your credit cards, mortgage loans as well. mortgage rates more than doubling over the course of last year, but we're seeing some signs that maybe the cooling housing market is actually already showing signs of recovery. i spoke with one realtor in atlanta who mentioned to me demand might not have everything to do with mortgage rates. take a listen. >> demand has nothing to do with interest rates or anything like that. demand has to do with household formation, and so that's what they're looking at. hesitation is what happened but
7:29 am
the demand is still there. people that are capable of purchasing are still there. >> and get this, she was tell me about the hot atlanta market, they were seeing $85,000 over listing prices. in some cases home sellers slashing their prices burks overall it seems like with people and households still looking for houses, the question is there are people that want to buy out there. it's whether or not they want to buy at 6%, jose. >> brian cheung, i thank you very much. good point. coming up, how ending the national covid health emergency could end up impacting the biden border policy. we'll talk about that next. you're watching "josé diaz-balart reports." -balart re. your joints... or your digestion... so why wouldn't you take something for the most important part of you... your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish,

that they take that problem and they fix it once and for all. >> todays' hearing comes after the administration that in may it will end the covid national public health emergency, which is the basis for the title 42 border policy used to turn back asylum seekers. with us now nbc's mike memoli, from washington, and alan orr, immigration attorney and former president of the american immigration lawyers association. so, mike, what is the end of the national health emergency in may have to do with title 42? >> well, jose, yesterday right around this time you and i were talking about what the white house's decision to end the public health emergency means for people's ability to get the treatment and prevention measures from covid, either for free or heavily discounted which
7:35 am
was the policy under those emergencies. well, there has been a lot of uncertainty about what it actually means for title 42, which as you say is a border and immigration policy tied to a public health emergency. so there are two triggers for ending title 42, the first is whether and when the cdc determines that it is no longer necessary. that was what happened in the last few months, which led to the legal fight that has worked its way up to the supreme court that has let title 42 in place. but the second trigger for ending it is the end of this public health emergency which the white house now says will come on may 11th. so the white house officials are saying that because of the end of that designation, it could and i emphasize could lead to title 42 ending before the supreme court makes its final decision, but they add this is uncertainty that the justice department itself needs to help clarify. one thing that is important to note, jose, is that these new asylum policies we have been talking about recently announced by the president himself, these parole policies that both open
7:36 am
new pathways for migration from four specific countries and allow u.s. officials to turn those migrants who come to the border into new mexico, those remain in place regardless of what happens in title 42 because the white house says the legal authority from that -- for those decisions will move from title 42 to a different migration policy title eight. so the white house emphasizes that they are still doing everything they can to transition away from title 42, but that does mean that some of the policies will remain in place as they work to rebuild this legal immigration system in the u.s. >> mike memoli, thank you very much. so, alan now it is very clear that title 42, which is, as mike says, a health-related policy, has been utilized as an immigration policy. i want to play for you some of what dhs secretary mayorkas toll me about where title 42 stands now. >> this has been framed as an expansion of title 42.
7:37 am
we have tried to end title 42, which is not an immigration authority, it is a public health authority. we were blocked from doing so by the courts. we tried to use our immigration authorities under title 8 of the united states code. >> so, alan, what exactly is this? >> right, so i can help the justice department with this very easily and make -- the government needs to take a position that title 42 ends because the emergency procedures are going away and all the republican party stands behind that going away. if mayorkas is true on his word, which i believe him to be as an immigrant himself from cuba, in the program start enforcing our immigration laws on the books. if congress would like to have something like a title 42 in place, have them pass the law, and let it stand through the judicial method and also the supreme court's review. >> and so the administration insists that it is expanding
7:38 am
asylum avenues for people. you said there is a de facto travel ban, what did you mean by that? >> what the government is saying it is not an exact travel ban in the same way the president used it, but it is keeping individuals from applying for asylum, which is legal under the law right now. those individuals who are -- are able to apply for asylum at entry. same people who walked miles. with this program, they're saying if they were to arrive in this fashion, they would not be allowed to apply for asylum. that is a transit ban that is in effect is a ban. in addition to that, the new apps are not in all the languages that are available to people indigenous of this region and just north america. so it harms black and brown people. as we start to celebrate black history in this country, we need to understand the importance of black immigrants include and just yesterday we sent two planes to haiti, removing people to a continent or an island that is in total disarray. there is no government there. >> that app, which the
7:39 am
government is saying should be utilized by folks that are looking to request asylum is in english and in spanish, not even in creole. and 300 plus people were sent back to haiti yesterday, just over the weekend more than 400 people were sent back to cuba. these are people who leave a very difficult situation in their home country, and risk it all to request to try to request asylum. and yet they are not even being given that opportunity because they don't have a financial backer that can go through this app. >> that's exactly right. which the -- yesterday mayorkas sidestepped the issue that they need someone to support the app. we don't require people to stand in a burning house until the fire department arrives so therefore we don't need to tell immigrants to wait until help arrives to be able to leave a situation that is very detrimental to them. that's why the asylum law exists. there are a lot of barriers including having a phone and the internet. there are places in the united
7:40 am
states where people don't have wide band internet. so why do we assume that immigrants have quality wi-fi in places where we know they don't or even a phone? >> these are such important issues. allen orr, thank you so much for bringing them up and thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. up next, forget stranger danger, there is a whole new level of parents' biggest fears. we'll talk to a doctor about how to tackle them. o a doctor aboutw to tackle th em

7:45 am
point. those concerns extended to the number two spot with 35% of parents being very concerned about their kids being bullied. joining us now is dr. sue varma, clinical assistant profession of clinical psychiatry at langone center. what do you make of these findings? >> you know, parents are worried, and it makes convenience to me when your child is not behaving the way that you normally are used to seeing them, happy, upbeat, engaged with friends. if there is a change in behavior, this is very alarming for parents, especially if the school is noticing change in behavior or the grades slipping or perhaps a concern about substance abuse. we have to really be able to catch the signs very early on. >> how has the covid pandemic and kids spending more time on line, had to do their entire schooling in a little corner with a computer, how has that affected their mental health?
7:46 am
>> absolutely. social isolation, whether in kids or adults, is such a driver of poor mental health, especially loneliness, which we saw was highest in the youngest of generations. as well as the older generations. and screen time for better or for worse looked at digital technology, allowed us to remain for many kids able to remain in school, so to speak, or have their education continued. we have to talk about the downside, the social media aspect which is extremely concerning because we do know that for kids it can change literacy skills, it can change the way they read, there is something called the shallowing hypothesis that not only do we not engage in information in a deep and slow thought process, but we also, it is affecting our relationships. some of the digital technology is taking us away from people. even when kids get together, they're on their screen or playing video games. some of that might facilitate connection, it is a touch point, it is contact point, it helps kids feel relevant, but if
7:47 am
you're using technology instead of developing relationships or for those more at risk for depression, anxiety and social isolation, their brain is more primed to fear and threat and images that they see, whether it the news. >> how do we help our kids, and that is a reality for a lot of kids. a lot of their social existence is related to their phones. how can we as parents help that without, you know, i mean, that's a reality that is the reality of young people going forward. >> yes. so, you know, parents actually have more control than they think and if they were actually able to get together and say, listen, we want to delay the age whether it be a conversation you have in the home, whether it is a conversation you have with the school to say, can we all get on board, we had safety regulations in place for a very long time, seat belts, smoking, whatever it may be.
7:48 am
social media and the use of technology should also be monitored, even if it is just for you as a family to say i'm going to extend the age at which i need to give you -- if i need for you to stay connected out of safety reasons, is there some way to limit or watch or regulate the amount of time you're spending, what are you watching? where is your attention going? i think of our attention and our time as our biggest renewable resource, and where are our kids going to spend that, what messages are they getting. so limiting technology use and really promoting in person connection, go out for the hike with your kids, go out for a walk. when we tell our kids, get off your phone, but what are we replacing that with. the in person activities, the sports, the community, all of that is important to get them plugged back in with other people. >> what are you using? that's great. dr. sue varma, thank you for being with us this morning. help is always available in the national suicide and crisis hot line. call 988 for free and
