vossoughian. if you are just joining us, welcome. if you are sticking with us, we thank you for that. we are following the breaking news out of mississippi. death and destruction as tornadoes ripped through the states. towns have been virtually wiped out. >> we saw into the middle part of the house, and we did, and we got in there, obviously, it was right behind us. as soon as we got in there, we heard a big boom, and we didn't do anything else for a while. we walked out and came out to about ten trees down in our yard. >> and increasing tensions between iran and the u.s.. what's looking like a proxy war in syria. donald trump sets to hold what he's doing as the first rally of a 2024 race in a matter of hours, and it comes as an indictment looms. and manhattan investigation in the special counsel probe heats up, plus, the future of tiktok. after a contentious congressional hearing with the

ceo, continued threats from the white house, to ban the social media phenomenon, unless it gets new owners. we'll look at that ahead as well. we begin with these deadly tornadoes in mississippi, we are a state of emergency is in effect for all towns affected by the storms. at least 24 people have been killed. dozens injured and missing. the destruction across the state spanning over 100 miles. the white house recently released a statement saying that president biden is offering full federal support for recovery efforts. and that fema emergency response personnel have, in fact, been deployed. nbc's michelle thompson joins us from mississippi. >> we are in silver city, and this is a look at some of the damage we are seeing here where i am standing, this was a room. there was a couch here. you see a fireplace. there was a whole laundry room and all of that has been destroyed. you could see the entire roof on the back half of this home completely blown out.

there is actually eight cake still sitting on the counter in their, because the people who live here at work here last night when that tornado tore down. they ended up taking cover in the front living room, which managed to survive all this. they were on the phone with their son as this was happening, and he describe for me the panic that he heard in his mom's voice and said there was a moment where they said, we'll call you right back. and he was so worried about what might have happened to them. thankfully, they did call back. they were safe in here. they were able to get out and spend that night on someone else's home this is the kind of damage people are coming back to today. we are seeing far worse images just a few miles up the road and rolling for what we've seen. houses completely ripped off their foundation, completely caved in. we've seen 18 wheeler's that have been picked up and moved, and that gives you an idea of just how strong this tornado was. early indications suggest there

are about dozens of tornadoes that touched down, but it seems like there was one in particular that was a very long range tornado. it traveled about 80 miles, leaving nothing but destruction in its path. we know that 23 people have died. thousands more have been injured, and there were, or at least, for people who were reported missing and our, at our last check. that number could go up as people are working to see if they are able to get in touch with their loved ones or if they need to report them missing. so, they are dealing with that, and the search and rescue center still underway, you have folks who are returning to their homes beginning to work on the cleanup, coming to collect what they can as bulldozers and big machinery moves into try to clear the roads. there's also, of course, the issue of being without power, especially in this very extreme heat. it's very hot here right now. we know there may be more rain and bad weather on the way tomorrow.

so, some folks looking to get tarps up over houses or to decide what they are going to do, what they can gather, and take out before that possibility comes. back to you. >> all right, thank you. we want to bring in that, with jordan hartshorn, public information officer for sharpie county. he has coordinated this county response, also a member of the -- navy, and jordan is joining us on the phone now. jordan, thanks for joining us. i know you are incredibly busy surveying the damage. it's still very much a rescue effort or they are in that county. tell us what he have been seeing so far on the ground there. >> it's just, i mean, i'm from the coast, too. it's kind of like when they hit wavelength. it's ground zero. there's probably more ground zero and other places, but really, there's nothing left. house is gone, families going around, trying to make sure their loved ones were okay, and some of them, getting calls

that to come down to the command posts. we might have loved ones. and we have 13 defined casualties. it might rise as first responders are out there searching, searching buildings and destruction and all the debris out here. so, at the end of the day, it's pretty bad. i would say is the worst thing i've ever seen since katrina. >> wow. that's unbelievable. we knew a cluster of bad storms we're headed in that direction, but it doesn't seem like folks really understood the magnitude of what was coming and didn't have quite enough warning to seek shelter. it's that what you have been hearing and seeing here? >> that's what we've been hearing. we and our cells have been putting out information as the storm is coming. you said people are going to be, people and they are going to be great citizens. but at the end of the day, tornadoes are unpredictable. you have a storm coming, you

don't know if you're going to get really hit. and what it hits, it hits. it could be a small one, and it could be a big one. but we were lucky -- not lucky this time. i know the county's response, mississippi counts, one, two here. we have to united -- which i am a part of, the coordinator for them. they are here, bringing 18 wheeler to food. we have citizens from around the actually didn't get hit coming in, bringing supplies, water, food, restaurants from out of the area coming in. we have rotating shifts coming in. we have united states navy bringing 18 wheeler's aunt -- and food. it is really cool, as we, know i would not think it's cool, but at this, after people come together. there is no right, there's no, this there's no, that is nippy -- there's the people. that's what i love about things like this. everyone coming together to help their neighbors. that's -- we're all trying to help our neighbor, but one thing we are trying to say, and also, if you want to come and volunteer, do not self deploy. get with us. >> go ahead, gordon,.

please continue. >> do not self deploy. if you want to help, stop at the local eoc, the john deer center on our highway 61 and let us know your here. if you solve the poor, you could put first responders response time out there. that's why we're saying, get the word out. >> jordan are, you able to organize a place for folks to go where they have clean drinking water, they have food, they have shelter? if they've lost their homes? >> yes. we actually have a shelter at the civic center. it's open tonight for 300 people. fema is working to try to bring in temporary housing in for the county. we are constantly working, but we are moving as fast as we can and they were coming. so, we do have three -- but -- we have 300 beds, answers got some they are really hit, they

are letting people stay, and then we have people outside of the neighborhood providing shelter for people. >> jordan, we hope we stay in touch with our team. we will be on the ground there. we will be live from there tomorrow, we certainly want to keep you updated on what's going on on background in these ongoing rescue and recovery efforts. we thank you for your time, jordan. we have to talk to you again soon. we are going to be live on the ground there, tomorrow, two to 4 pm eastern, right on msnbc live from mississippi for you amidst all of this devastation. from that, though, i want to go some breaking news out of russia, where president putin has just spoken about the country's nuclear weapons. and we see -- this at the white house. some startling steps, ali. putin have said for the location of where he wants his nuclear weapons to go. i will expand on that for use, if you will, and hear the response from the white house. >> yeah, yasmin. this is news we are learning after president putin did an

interview with russian state tv, where he announced yesterday that he and belarusian president alexander lukashenko have reached an agreement for russian tactical nuclear weapons to be stored in neighboring belarus. putin saying that construction of a storage facility in belarus is going to be completed on july 1st. he is stressing that russia would be able to do this without violating -- treaty, that last nuclear arms treaty between the u.s. and russia that, a couple of weeks ago, russia had announced it is defending its participation in. i am going to go ahead with this translation of the interview that president putin did with russian state tv, where he says the reason for him taking such a step was that the united kingdom, their defense minister made an announcement that their defense minister will begin supplying weapons to ukraine with uranium. according to president putin. he downplayed that this is something that the united

states has been doing, soaring weapons and allied countries on u.s. bases and other countries, saying that there could be, or making the argument russia would be doing the same thing, storing weapons in belarus. as a matter of fact, we know belarus already stores russia's weapons. we know russian troops, as a matter of fact, already different in belarus. this is a ramping up of fellow russian support for russia at a time where the u.s. has been concerned that russia would be taking more potentially legal aid from countries and getting more aid from countries asked this war enters a new phase in its second year. this is something we've reached out to the white house fort reaction for. a soon as we get reaction from the steps of the white house, we will be sure to share that with you, yasmin. >> all right, allie raffa for us, thank. you were going to continue to update you, everybody, throughout the hour as we hear more out of the devastation in mississippi, after those tornadoes. also ahead, could the new

threats against the manhattan da, alvin bragg, -- the indictment timeline against the former president? i'll talk to former legal expert, danny -- coming up. >> to the american people watching today, here this. tiktok is a weapon. >> more than 150 million americans who love our platform, and we know we have a responsibility to protect them. >> we'll look at the political implications of a possible ban on tiktok after the ceo fought back over its connection to china on capitol hill. we'll be right back. takes over?

continues to face impending legal issues, gop allies in congress are jumping up the opportunity to defend him. three gop chairman demanded that the da, alvin bragg, testify and where it's documentary to the case, was brad promptly refused to do. i want to bring in congressman gravy -- but democrat and pennsylvania who served on the judiciary committee to talk more about this and all other things as well. we appreciate it. but gop colleagues do not seem to be getting their way at, least, when it comes to the manhattan da, bragg. what are you hearing on the judiciary committee? >> oh, of, course that jim jordan now has the judiciary committee chairmanship, so, what we're hearing from the

judiciary committee in its official capacity is really, really disturbing. there's absolutely no precedent for the united states congress judiciary committee to interfere in a local prosecution. >> here's what charlie savage said in that new york times. if neither side back down, house republicans will likely proceed to subpoena mr. brag. he could ignore, it is not clear why he would have a claim to absolute immunity from a demand that he -- what do you make of this? >> yeah, unfortunately what we've seen is that the grading of our legal systems and our traditional systems under this trump fever that jim jordan and marjorie taylor greene and everybody who has continued to support him in congress, reckon refused to honor the subpoena. it would be interesting to see what they are trying to accomplish that is actually within that judiciary committees authority.

the problem is, we have a piece of clowns running the circus right now. so, it doesn't matter what the law is. it doesn't matter what actually we should be focusing on, which would be but work for the american people, as opposed to trying to activate everyone of donald trump -- and protect him but he probably deserves, which is conviction. >> how worried are you about this dangerous rhetoric, especially coming from the former president of the united states, who is saying essentially, and indictment could quote unquote lead to potential death and destruction? >> i think we all should be concerned about that. we should be concerned about it because we are seeing what he has done in the past and the fact that he is doing it again, calling on people to prove -- to protest with violence. it seems to be a clear call on his part for more of the same, and we've already seen what happens when he fuels the fire,

he lights the fuse, and he aims people at law enforcement. it's too dangerous. >> you mention marjorie taylor greene a little bit earlier. let's talk a little bit about it, if we, candace for a moment. republicans during this washington, d.c. jail, where january six descendants are being held. here is what marjorie taylor greene had to say. >> he offered two years. we heard the story from just the people on the january six committee. we heard the story about how it wasn't insurrection. i'm going to tell you something right now. it was not an insurrection. >> couple that with kevin mccarthy also meeting with ashley babbitt mother. i saw a look of shock on your face at the end of that statement, from marjorie taylor greene. tell me. >> it's just insane at this point. we've seen what happens when you ignore the facts, when you

excuse political violence. and that is what this crew is continuing to do. part of the look on my face, with respect to that tour of that jail, is that even before i went to congress, i was working with folks that were trying to improve conditions in the d.c. jail. there are pushes going back decades about the problems with conditions in those jails, but apparently, it only started bartering marjorie when they're insurrectionist bodies were sent to jail. in fact, those who are in there, and i believe it's about 20 people, half of whom have already pled guilty or been convicted, and the rest are dangerous people who attacked law enforcement and are awaiting trial. those folks are actually being held in upgraded facilities. so you know, this isn't about jail conditions. this is about continuing when there is if that anything goes if you are defending donald

trump. and that is just not right. it's not american. and it's dangerous. >> congresswoman mary, thank you so much. appreciate it. [laughter] now, to rising tensions in syria, with two iran-backed attacks overnight that targeted u.s. coalition forces. and initial attack thursday killed one u.s. contractor and injured six other americans. joining me to discuss the implications of these classes, retired general -- and analyst, former deputy commander of u.s. european command. general, thanks for joining us. we appreciate. it iranian security spokesperson saying that any attack on bases will be met with quote unquote, reciprocal response. there certainly been a ramping up. we know these attacks, the proxy war has been ongoing for the last few months. but there has been a ramp up, it seems, over the last few days. with the u.s. retaliating are. you concerned? >> i am somewhat concerned, and

the reason i'm concerned is these 900 soldiers in contractors, whether they are there in spirit, they are america's finest, our special operating forces, and they have been fighting against i.s.i.s. for years. this fight has really been going on in five areas, since 2015. there's not a lot of forces and close proximity to the 900 u.s. central command, that's not a great job and having over the shoulder capability, being able to rapidly responds out of iraq, out of kuwait, out of qatar, out of bahrain. but as you know, when a fight starts, it can rapidly move into something, escalate pretty quickly, and you need that firepower pretty quickly. that's what i'm concerned about. >> let me play for you a response to a question, i believe, from our own peter

alexander, by the president to all of this. then, i will get your response on the other side. >> the united states does not, does not, emphasize, conflict with iran. but be prepared for us to attack forcefully, to protect our people. >> general, what do you make of this? >> i think the president is right. we've got soldiers that have been in harm's way, and it's our responsibility, particularly his responsibility as commander and chief and leader of military forces, to make sure that these soldiers are safeguarded. so, we are going to do everything in our power to ensure that our forces are protected inside the area, syria, and we will respond appropriately. and when needed. >> lieutenant general jeff woody, we thank you. up next, everybody, a look at the cleanup efforts from first responders and family members in mississippi right now, after last night's deadly tornado.

three minutes after hung the phone up, my father called me. he said we got hit bad. the roof was off the house. they were in panic mode. seeing debris was all over the house. they were telling me, sirens going off. really bad. i was just wondering, out is glad to hear their voice. >> we're gonna continue to monitor the very tragic situation in this recovery efforts are continuing. just moments ago, the former president put together another social media attack against the manhattan da, investigating the new york hush money case. it's coming as alvin bragg's office received white powder and a death threat on friday addressed to have that read this, alvin, i'm gonna kill you. the powder turned out to be harmless, msnbc legal analyst -- . >> good to talk to you. the note that bragg sent the other employees at the office, we're going to continue to apply the law, evenly and fairly.

do you suspect, think, at any point, all of this rhetoric, all of this violent rhetoric, all of what we're hearing, the threats on friday that we heard as well, would shift the timeline as to when they would make a charging decision here? >> no, none whatsoever. they would continue in spite of that. even with, i'm certain people are concerned about threats of violence. i would expect that alvin bragg, like most das, most career prosecutors, most people with a representative position in government, would want to send a message that threats alone do not stop the work of the government. i think, while it certainly have to take safety precautions for, i doubt it will affect the timeline at all. the only way i could see him doing so is if there are remaining witnesses and the threats are against those witnesses, and you need to take certain additional precautions. to make sure those folks are safe. >> we've talked about this next

question off and on for the last six years, this new era of using social media, especially with the way the former president has. that is, is there any accountability to the former president of the united states, putting up a social media post and subsequently deleting it for example. of himself. with a bat in hand. saying, next alvin bragg. and threatening in the way that he has. >> threats have always been unlawful, they've always been not covered by the first amendment. whether you are writing it on parchment paper in the 1700s, or tweeting it out. whether or not you delete that tweet, it is still potentially a threat. the challenge is, in the social media era, trump knows this. he knows this very. well that's why he's a master of staying in that gray area. so, a picture of him holding a baseball bat, excuse me, situated right next to a picture of the da, is that a direct true threat? look, candidly, no.

that is a picture capable of different reasonable interpretations. if you're out there thinking, no, i'm capable of one interpretation. and it's a threat. that's fine. that's your interpretation. but to get the extra step, objectively, could you see that just having a picture of someone holding about next to the picture, even if it is their enemy, is that a direct threat? i think that would not be enough to give a guilty verdict. it, could, it could get you to a guilty verdict. it's not a slam dunk. as with all things, if you're gonna go after the president, you need a slam dunk. >> through and through, as always, thank you. tell me about the timeline that you're expecting come monday. reconvening the grand jury, i believe monday afternoon. after things are punted last week. where do you expect things to go, how do you think expect things to shake out when it comes to timing? >> so, i have been demanding a nickel every time someone asks

me about timing. i filled up quite a retirement fund. it seems to be the big question for all of us. attorneys, everyone, you heard -- the defense attorney for president trump, he's right there on the frontlines. he doesn't know. no one really knows what grand juries do, grand juries are secret. that is their magic power. they have that makes them effective at doing what they do we don't really know, we can try to surmise based on what witnesses are up, whether it seems logical that this is the final witness. even if we've heard of all the witnesses, the prosecutor still has to do a form of summation, it's much less formal basically explaining the elements of the crimes to the jury. and then the jury actually deliberates. the way upended or small or trial jury deliberates, and have they have to arrive at a conclusion. that could take time. even with a lower burden of proof of preponderance of evidence. >> thank you as always, my friend, good to talk to you. we're gonna talk to -- later today, former president donald trump defense attorney,

is going to join reverend al sharpton to discuss the manhattan da's investigation. and the potential for an indictment. that is to say, 5 pm eastern, right here on msnbc. okay, republicans are getting to wage their culture war through education policy. no, they want to take things to a national level. on friday, the house approved legislation for a so-called parent bill of rights. that would require the district to post info -- about curriculum for their students. among other provisions, they're also playing out on a state level. we see this report the gop -- have proposed their own parental bill of rights. which would fundamentally reshape education in the state. i would bring an msnbc senior investigative reporter, mike hicks, who's been reporting on this. mike, it's always great to talk to you on this. walk us through exactly what's being proposed here. >> well, as we mentioned, this

is a bill 53-page bill that would reshape education. the big item in this, as the eight, it has the backing of greg abbott and lieutenant governor dan patrick, for the first time in texas, make all student eligible for educational savings accounts or private school vouchers. essentially, this is a policy that will let parents whose kids are home schooled or attend private schools take the money that the state would've spent educating them in public schools, which greg abbott says are woke and indoctrinating your kids, you can take that money and put it towards your home schooling. or your private christian education. the bill doesn't stop there, it also includes a lot of language about parents oversight of public school curriculum. and there's a provision that's essentially the texas version of the so-called don't say gay bill, passed in florida, last year, that would prohibit public schools from providing

instruction, guidance, programming, anything, related to sexual orientation or gender identity. in grades k through 12. so, it's a more sweeping version of that provision. this has lots of people up in arms, and would remake the school system in texas. >> you also have another -- talk about the implication of how this would impact parts of more rural texas. you talk about -- superintendent robert lee, independent school districts, saying that out here, cattle outnumber children 20 to 1, no one is hollering about critical race theory in texas or pornography the library. those battles raging 250 miles away in the state capital, and in faraway suburbs, have galvanized a political movement that could deal a devastating blow to rural dual school districts. what do people like aaron worry about with them? >> well, it's an instant

dynamic. in rural texas, this is the heart of the gop base. it's trump country. 9 to 10 voters out in this town called robert lee, named after robert e. lee, vote republican. but they are very concerned about the gop's plan, for education. in rural towns like robert lee, where there are 256 kids total in the school district, if they see a cutting funding, which is what private cool vouchers would do, as each kid leaves, the district loses that funding, they don't have the same economy to scale. their budget is then. they lose five students, that a teacher salary. but with only 18 kids per class, they can't lose a teacher. so, rural texas, historically, has always resisted this policy. this year, the governor and lieutenant governor are banking that these rural communities, having watched the culture war play out on fox news for the last several years, will have changed their minds.

and they will support this privatization of the school system, even though local school leaders, who they like, are saying the school really hurts our town. >> this is really good reporting on this, mike hicks, as always, we thank you for bringing it to us. coming up, everybody, a new polling showing how different age groups are reacting to a potential ban of tiktok, after this week's hearing. >> i think there are some people that definitely have never used the app, haven't even seen it working. you can tell, one lawmaker even called it -- >> one chicago surgeon is giving her patience more than just great medical care, we're gonna tell you more about her art school touches, coming up. h beans for you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that... ...i need a breakthrough card... like ours! with 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more... plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purchases!

pointed this out ahead of this testimony from the ceo of tiktok, there could be political implications to a potential national ben. we know it's banned on government devices by the president, all that being said, what could those implications be? >> right, yasmin, we know that -- is a huge part of tiktok's users base, it's an escape. it's a mode of expression. it's also revenue for a lot of a younger tiktok creators. one pollster i spoke to said, taking away tiktok from gen z would be like taking away seinfeld from gen x back in the day, when was an embassy primetime. there are a couple of variables what the politics here, we do know from polling, that nbc reported, on that gen z voters oppose a ban on tiktok, but support a ban among this group goes up when arguments are conveyed to them about concerns regarding chinese using it for manipulation or propaganda, for misinformation.

the second variable is that this is a period of divided government now. by definition, any ban would have to be done with the support of both parties. how do young voters react to that, they blame joe biden? because he's the president who finds it takes on him, take it out on democrats. today blame republicans, they've been more aggressive than democrats lately at pushing for a ban. or the just say, a pox on both your houses, and end up being awash. this debate is in the infancy right now. we do know there are very young -- if this tiktok goes away. >> it's a balance here, right, they're enough to strike. obviously, lawmakers expressing concern after that testimony that we heard on thursday. national security concerns, also concerns for young people, that are using tiktok the most. so, what did they do when it comes to legislation going forward, considering also the applications it could have politically? >> right, the consensus i heard coming out of that hearing, a couple days ago, tiktok did not

help its cause in the hearing. the ceo presented himself well, he was respectful, he answered a bunch of questions. tough questions from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. he struggled to answer one fundamental question, which is on the minds of many lawmakers, republicans and democrats, tiktok parent company, bytedance, is a chinese company, headquartered in beijing. under chinese law, all chinese companies are obligated to do the bidding of the chinese government, they're asked. if, for instance, bytedance was at to provide tiktok data on americans, would they be obligated to do it? the ceo did not deny that china has that power. he simply said, he hasn't made evidence that they have asked for the, they attempted this. he doesn't believe they would do it. he was gonna say that's not a -- satisfactory answer to a lot of lawmakers. one democratic i spoke to at that hearing, after it was over, congressman -- who the ranking democrat on the china subcommittee, said this is only increased the momentum for a ban, there is, however, a sense among a lot of lawmakers,

[ boing ] woo-hoo! welcome back, new developments in the fight for abortion rights. this time, in wyoming. where abortion is now legal again, at least temporarily. and district judge their halted the safe abortion ban that had been in effect the last year thanks to a 2012 amendment to the state constitution. that grants wyoming citizens the right to make their own health care decisions. the amendment was originally

intended to allow citizens to get around the affordable care act, as a judge points out, since abortions are a health care procedure requiring a health care professional, the state cannot overstepped its authority and infringe on individual rights. abortions included. i want to bring in -- president of pro-choice america. it's always great to talk to you. give me a reaction first of what we're seeing take place in wyoming. >> wyoming's an interesting case, the governor allowed a total ban on abortion act become law, as you said, the judge halted it. thanks to really bizarre turn of events. the obama constitutional event. when governor of gordon allowed the band to become law, he also signed a bill banning medication abortion in wyoming. criminal penalties for providers. so we'll medication abortion is already not available in state within, wyoming is the first state to explicitly been it. and really --

for doctors and providers, super dangerous. it's unprecedented. i think the medication of what we're gonna see things go. >> so, you're talking about this -- which we are still waiting about a decision from this district judge, in texas as well. we've been waiting for a couple weeks, without a would come down a while ago. what do you think is going on there? >> you know, it's hard to predict. matthew kacsmaryk, the judge, a trump appointed judge, an extremist in every way, has issued a an opinion. he had all the information he needed to make the decisions. he had a surprise hearing that he tried to keep secret. however, at the end of the day, we know that the department of justice has made really, really smart and sound arguments about how much this would undermine the fda. as a reminder to the audience, mifepristone isn't authorized by the fda for over 23 years, it's safe, it's effective, it's safe with a tylenol. there's no reason to shed the fda's authorization, would have

catastrophic effect for the country. also have a catastrophic effect on the fda's authority. on the pharmaceutical industry. i hope his votes are taking pause, and the judge is taking pause to see what the implications could be, beyond abortion. but pragmatically, that's probably not the case. we are prepared for the worst, we know the doj is prepared for the circuit. >> we're watching this incredibly closely. as we have been for the last few weeks. as always, it's great to talk to you. thank you. >> still ahead, everybody, the story behind these colorful cats and the pediatric surgeon is going to be of and beyond for her patience. we'll tell you all about it, coming up. feel the difference with downy. hey, man. you could save hundreds for safe driving with liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance. so you only pay for what you need! whoo! we gotta go again. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪
