tv   Jose Diaz- Balart Reports  MSNBC  March 28, 2023 8:00am-9:01am PDT

8:00 am
wanted to die there. we know that because she sent a message to her friend, but she never left. when police arrived, i doubt she killed anymore. >> that's a key thing. you think by the time the officers aarrived, she had already killed those six people? >> i think so. >> that does it for us. thank you for watching. jose diaz-balart takes over now. good morning, it is 11:00 a.m. eastern. i'm jose diaz-balart. right now in nashville with communities in mourning after the latest shooting that left six dead. we'll get the latest on the ground including new details about the victims. tragedy overnight in mexico. at least 39 migrants are dead after a fire in a migration center near the u.s. border. we have the very latest developments.
8:01 am
in the south, the white house promising help for the communities ravaged by powerful tornadoes this weekend. we're live in one of the hardest hit areas. plus new details surrounding the grand jury investigating the hush money payment made during the 2016 campaign. who just testified and what he could say. we're live in paris thousands of protesters are blocking trains and streets once again over the plan to raise the pension age. we begin this very busy hour with the latest on the deadly shooting at the school in nashville. this morning the heartbroken community is in mourning after three students, all 9 years old, were gunned down along with three adults by a 28-year-old former student. today we're learning new details about the victims of the tragedy. among them the head master, a
8:02 am
substitute teacher and the custodian. the children were 9 years old. police say a sense of resentment may have played a role in the attack adding the suspect had a map of the school and conducted surveillance in preparation of the shooting. chilling video just released shows the suspect shooting through the glass doors. it was a moment before the deadly attack. and now the community is forced to pick up the pieces after this devastating tragedy. last night the community gathered across several vigils. many turning to faith to process their heartbreak. others are speaking out in desperation. >> how is this still happening? how are our children still dieing and why are we failing them? these shootings will continue to
8:03 am
happen until our lawmakers step up and have gun safety legislation. >> joining us now with more is correspondent kathy park live nashville. what more are we learning? there's been a slew of video released by the police. >> reporter: jose, that's right. nashville police have been quick to release more information about the shooting, so i will start right there. additional body camera footage from the responding officers were released moments ago. and right now, we are clearing the video, making sure we are not showing images that are too disturbing because they are very disturbing to watch. but you can hear the audio in some of this footage. you hear a staff member alerting the officer about the shooting that was happening inside. and you see the officers reacting quickly.
8:04 am
eventually, they make it to the second floor of this school building where the shooter was aiming down and shooting at responding officers. you see the confrontation and the suspect is neutralized and officials are saying the call came in around 10:14 yesterday morning. but jose, we should mention, this community is grieving. another tragedy striking here in the u.s. six people killed, the youngest 9 years old. all students here at the school. one of them is the daughter of the head pastor at this church. there are three adults who are among the dead as well. the head master of the school, was the leader here for seven years. cynthia peek, she happens to be
8:05 am
a substitute teacher and moved to the nashville area not too long ago with her husband. and mike hill, a beloved custodian for more than 13 years. these are all members of the community. they are beloved members of the community. they would have done anything for this school and those students. >> kathy park, thank you so much. for more i want to bring in ken dilanian she thank you for being with us this morning. your team was dispatched to provide medical care on the scene of the shooting. what was those moments like? >> initially for our responders, those moments were like any other moment. unfortunately, they are trained for those moments, for responding to those emergencies. obviously, when we found out that there were students involved in this senseless act and adults that were ultimately
8:06 am
killed from this incident as well, those moments turned to somber feelings and a heavy spirit that now is carried throughout our community. that's what we're feeling this morning. we're feeling that heaviness because this has now impacted our community locally. but out of that, we are rising and we are also feeling very proud of those that had to face this head on. that went in to encounter that shooter and prevent this from turning into something that was more tragic and we're very proud of the response time and very proud of what our first responders did, which was not easy on anyone. we are very somber this morning. we are very heavy in spurt. but we will begin to heal and
8:07 am
recover. obviously, we are grieving as a city and as a community. >> kendra, talk to us about the community. looking at the pictures of the school and the church together, what community is this? how does a community ross? >> this school was housed inside of a church. this was a small tight knit community where everyone knew everyone. so the feeling of community is what nashville is. the student population was around 200. so this is what you imagine it
8:08 am
to be. there were pictures shown of the students walking out holding hands and the children and student population here is young aged. preschool to 6th grade. so that's a young population. many were shielded from what took place. i believe they understood there was some chaos, but not necessarily understanding what happened here until after the events occurred. but you can imagine being such a tight-knit community, the fear and the anxiety that comes with what took place here and then imagine the love that this community is being shown and not just specific schools, but every other school in nashville, and obviously, every other school around the country and the world because yet again, we're hearing about children and adults that
8:09 am
have senselessly lost their lives over a tragic act such as this. but when it affects your community and when it touches your lives so closely, it just hits you in a different way. it shouldn't take something being so close to you affecting you personally to want you to do something different, but sometimes it does. sgl your team set up the reunification unit for the families. what is that like? >> in a collaborative effort, the fire department set that up alongside the police department. with the school to set up that reunification site. that was of the utmost priority because imagine hearing the news that your child's school had an acttive aggressor, which can
8:10 am
mean someone is there with any certificate sort of weapon. so your mind starts spinning. does that mean a sheert. in this case, that did mean a shooter. so you as a parent get a notification that your child's school has an active shooter there and now there's a place. you don't know where that place is yet, but there's a place set up for you to be reunified with your child. then you get the news that there are children that were injured and then ultimately fatally injured. and you're just hoping to be notiied of where that place is. the adults that have loved ones that work there as faculty and staff are waiting to see that phone calls. they are for loved ones that
8:11 am
have people that work another the school or in the church. so those reunification sites are important to go ahead and reconnect those persons who have people in that building with their loved ones so they can know they are safe, how to get to them as soon as possible so they can love on them, hug them and have them back in their arms. >> i thank you so much for your time. really appreciate it. >> thank you. also joining us now from nashville is tennessee state representative bob freeman, who represents portions of nashville. thank you for being with us this morning. you know folks that send their kids to that school. take us back to yesterday morning. >> it was heartbreaking to receive phone calls from my friends and friends of friends who have shared my number. parents in complete panic trying to find out where their children
8:12 am
were because because they were at the spot and the kids weren't there yet. their minds went to some pretty dark places. obviously, three families got word that you neverment to hear, which was your child isn't going to be coming back today. it's heartbreaking seeing the video footage, the camera footage recently released body cam footage. i'm thankful for the police department and the hard work they did. and their quick action, or else it could have been significantly worse. >> it's just how pain, indescribable pain that so many families are feeling today. i know you went to church and you saw the sunday school classmates of one of the girls.
8:13 am
>> there were all sorts of groups that were there last night. to see the look of confusion and sadness and to watch the parents from a distance, it was heartbreaking. these 9-year-old kids don't need to know that kind of loss, don't need to understand that kind of fear. the fact that they were taught what to do in case of an active shooter, the fact that we have to have drills at our schools today, that we're having these conversations about do we have enough security officers, we are living in a gun sick time, and we have to do something about it. elected officials right now just don't seem toft courage.
8:14 am
i have received hundreds of phone calls from people that are yelling at me, demanding for some reasonable gun control measures in our state. telling me that they are going to threatening me. we received e-mails just this morning from proi gun lobbyists reminding the members and the legislature that they are here and that they are watching. there are solutions, we just need to be brave enough to take them. >> so very quickly, what are some of those solutions you recommend? and who has been threatening you? >> some of the solutions are we need to have some red flag laws. if the shooter was in the mental crisis to allow for law enforcement to step in and temporarily make sure that they
8:15 am
were safe and couldn't do harm to themselves or someone else. we need to expand background checks here in tennessee. we have the gun loophole where you have people that can go to a gun show and buy a weapon without any background check. the fact that handguns are now the number one killer of children in the united states is appalling. we should do something about it. your second question, who is threatening me, there are people that are just misguided that feel like their second amendment right is they should be able to at any point, any time, buy anything they want. and that's just not -- that doesn't make for good public safety. some of those people didn't like what i said. i'm going to keep saying it. if they don't like it, they can keep calling me. >> representative, i thank you so much for being with us this
8:16 am

8:20 am
19d after the hour. at least 39 mite granlts are dead after a fire in a migrant center in mexico. the fire broke out last night in a facility run by the mexican national migration institute.in. the fire broke out last night in a facility run by the mexican national migration institute. 29 people were taken to nearby hospitals. hoemt moments ago, an official tweeted that the u.s. is in touch with mexican officials. joining us now is gabe gutierrez, good morning. this is part of a massive humanitarian crisis that they have been dealing with for years now. there's people waiting to cross into the united states to ask for asylum. what do we know about what happened? >> you have seen it first happened. several weeks ago there was a massive group that tried to
8:21 am
cross the border. and they were stopped by officers and several months before that, another group that was at the u.s./mexico border in el paso oat. this is such an awful tragedy. you look at the pictures from outside the scene. and what we're not showing you is there were also boies that were laid on the side of that migrant holding center. we just heard a short time ago from the mexican president who tells us this fire started last night around 9:30 local time. and what the president said happened is there was a protest that unfolded. some of the migrants were upset that they were told they were going to be deported. so they put up small mattresses. then the fire raged out of control. the death toll is at 39. several dozen more people injured. what we know is that many of those migrants were from central america. and also there were some from venezuela as well.
8:22 am
but it's unclear exactly where this investigation goes from here. just an awful scene that's unfolding. and that person told us that it's possible that some of those migrants may have been upset because they were fed misinformation from human smugglers that they were told they could cross into the u.s. if they had a child. we're told that most, if not ul of the victims here were men, no children were among the dead. but jose, you're familiar with this. so many migrants are fed misinformation and are told they maybe able to cross into the u.s., that there might be aidentity sum if they bring children or something and sadly when they realize that's not the case, they are devastated and some of them tried in protest. here we are with dozens of people dead.
8:23 am
>> thank you so much. appreciate it. this morning, communities as cross the south are trying to pick up the pieces after a deadly string of tornadoes. 22 people were killed, dozens more were injured across mississippi and alabama. joining us is priscilla thompson. what are you hearing from residents impacted there? >> jose, they are devastated by this. and i'll give you a sense of why. we have seen the toe toes of what the area looks like, but imagine growing up in it this community and this is what you see when you drive through a community that you have spent your entire life. this was a store where people used to go to and walk to. many of them going since they were children. now it is completely destroyed. and this is the type of destruction that you're seeing throughout this community everywhere that you turn. people have been coming together. but now it's effectively a ghost
8:24 am
town. you don't see as much of that anymore. they are turning their attention to getting aid and how to get that help. you take a look at that help over there. just a bedroom still intact. you saw a mattress, but the roof ripped off. it's completely gone. but we're also beginning to see the electrical work that's being done out here. trying to get the power restored. trying to get this community back into some sort of shape here. as people are beginning to figure out how to apply for that federal assistance, whether that's going on the website online, if they have access to the internet and electronics or trying to call and put in those applications, we though that three applications have been submitted so far. $18,000 in aid approved. just because it's been approved doesn't mean that people had that in their hands just yet. and i'm going to turn the camera and show you some of the work going on. you have at&t out here trying to get power restored.
8:25 am
these folks we have seen working throughout the day over the past several days here. as people continue to figure out what to do inspect. >> back to you. >> thank you so much. up next, new testimony before the grand jury investigating hush money payment made during donald trump's campaign. we'll explain who and why his testimony matters so much. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc.

8:29 am
9-year-old students along with three staff members. just this morning police released body cam footage showing the moments that police entered the building, went through the building, found the shooter and fired at the sheer. we'd like to warn you that this video ises disturbing. we feel it's important to show what law enforcement actually had to deal with, what they saw and how they dealt with an active school shooter situation. >> right, right, right. >> go right. >> move, move. >> joining us now from nashville is jim cavanaugh, our special agent in charge.
8:30 am
he's now an msnbc terrorism contributor. also a member of the national community deeply familiar with this church. thank you for being with us. this police cam video is just -- i don't know how to describe it. what did you see and sense there in this body cam footage? what did you think? what did you :1v■see? >> it was a textbook entry for an active killer. this is what we all trained on in law enforcement post columbine. you see the officers stay in a group of two or three. they move quickly through the first floor. they had their vests on, but they are moving rapidly. they are moving rapidly to stop the killing. so locate, isolate, eliminate the threat. they don't linger anywhere. you see how quickly they move. that's the pace that you're
8:31 am
trained to move. you want the killer focused on you and not the students or anybody else in the school. so they move rapidly. once they hear the shots and locate the killer upstairs, they locate her. they move quickly and take her down. it's quickly and kill. >> fought things that i wanted to ask about in the video. a couple times, there was an officer. there was a shotgun and we saw the officer with a shotgun also with what seemed to be a 9 millimeter handgun. they weren't wearing full body armor. they had some vests on. but they knew they were up against something very powerful. and yet, there were shots going off, at least six or seven before they confronted the shooter the police had released
8:32 am
video and had had shown the broken windows. you can see in the last frame where the killer is dropped. the windows are broken out. when they arrived sorks when the officers are exiting the cruisers, they are taking rifle fire. they knew they were facing it already. the point here is suicide was in this case. it was throughout the case. she was suicidal. she sent a message that chef went to the school and she was going to die. and when police arrived she never left that room. she stayed right by that window waiting for the police to come in. and waited right there because it was going to be suicide by cop for her right then.
8:33 am
they come in. they are a good distance away. they are proficient. they take her down quickly. they move fast. just great proficient skill. you cannot be that first trigger pulp you can't be beat. >> and a few things also. they were going straight in, straight in and there was no concern about the shooter has this or doesn't have this. they were just going in to do their job and the danger was just extraordinary. i did notice that there was a body of someone on the ground in that hallway as they were going towards the shooter. in 14 minutes, it seems -- i'm wondering, it was in the middle of a school day. where were all of the teachers
8:34 am
and the students? >> good point. you really notice that in the video. the fire alarms going off. this school had lockdown drils. so the kids were hiding somewhere. thaw moved to a safe room. the officers don't see anybody. in the earlier video when the killer is going through the school, she's searching for victims, but you never see anybody. so everybody had gone to their drils. if they had not practiced the drills, she could have opened one of those doors and been in the classroom with 30 kids and could have fired with that rifle 30 rounds in less than 30 seconds. it would have been a tremendous massacre. >> so the lockdown drills put z■ safety hiding. she had some trouble finding them. they had glass doors in the front. they didn't have outside security. that's a weakness. so that's what schools need.
8:35 am
they need outside securitiers knelt, solid doors that are locked. slow the killers down. stop them before they get had in there so we can prevent this. >> i thank you very much for being with us this morning from nashville. now to the latest on the investigation surrounding former president trump. the new york city grand jury investigating $130,000 hush money payment made to a film actress is not scheduled to meet today, but it did meet yesterday and heard from former inquirer who helped arrange that paumt it's the second known appearance. resources familiar with the matter say they did not take a vote. trump hasn't stopped slamming the investigations against him. here he is on fox news last night. >> i don't know whether it helps or hurts. in my opinion, it's a new way of
8:36 am
sheeting on elections. it's called election interference. >> with us now to talk more about this is garrett haake in new york city and charles coleman, a civil rights attorney and former prosecutor in brooklyn. so garrett, what do we know about david's role in the payment? >> reporter: he's a central figure this all of this. he was the person who connected michael cohen and stormy daniels and he was a central figure in an earlier payment to another model, where the national inquirer bought her life story to keep it silent and out of the media. so his role could be important here. it suggests he might have been rebutting another witness's testimony or clearing up some of the details about the accounting, the timeline about perhaps when trump knew about either of these payments, which could be central to the case that the da is putting together.
8:37 am
we don't know what he was asked get the grand jurors while he was in the room, but the very fact they felt it was necessary to bring him back twice puts him back in the center of the investigation. >> and what does that fact tell you? that he's been brought back for a second time. >> one of the things that it hps me understand as a former prosecutor is where alvin bragg may be going with case. there's been questions about what his theory of the case was because he had stepped away from it. so people have been asking how did you intend to get from the misdemeanor of falsifying the records to campaign finance violations. this maybe it. the testimony is likely going to give some level of insight as to the reason, motive and purpose behind why donald trump did what he did or why michael cohen did what he did. that answered that bragg wants people to conclude that he was
8:38 am
trying to avoid a disaster in the middle of a campaign that was about to have an election. so that's why the testimony is so invaluable to the office because it helps to get the misdemeanor over to the felony. >> thank you both for being with us this morning. up next, after facing weeks of protests in israel, prime minister benjamin netanyahu may be coming to washington. we'll explain. plus we're keeping a close eye on paris where protests are in full force over pension reform. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports."

8:42 am
happening right now, new clashes on day ten of protests against president macron's decision to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. these are live pictures right now from paris. take a look at that. let's listen in for a second. >> major avenue there in paris. it's close to the -- look at that. just last week, macron survived a no confidence vote after a special constitutional power to go around parliament in order to raise the retirement age. he says it's an effort to keep
8:43 am
the pension system solvent. joining us from paris right there is keir simmons. so what are you seeing and what's going on? >> reporter: that's in the distance, for the last hour, 30 minutes, we have been watching protesters in running with police. we had to back $hup. you can see that the smoke in the distance where protesters are wherever they can find for garbage, even in places across france. and then police firing tear gas. many of the protesters wearing masks clearly ready for what they would have expected today. these clashes in paris and across france, but the union here saying that around 450,000 protesters are on the streets of paris alone.
8:44 am
and this is now the 10th day of protests but many people know many young people talking about a sense of frustration, a sense of perilousness and anger. a presidential decree they think is cutting away at their rights. >> keir simmons, thank you so much. take care. the prime minister of israel and president biden will soon be meeting according to the u.s. ambassador to uz real. this comes just one day after his world leader announced he would postpone an attempt to overhaul the judicial system after facing nationwide demonstrations. the delay might be short lived as benjamin netanyahu said he will pick up the changes after the reset, which is twho weeks away. they will be ready to come back
8:45 am
in force. joining us is richard ankle. what are you hearing from people on the ground? >> reporter: it is much quieter here than it appears to be in paris. no tear gas. the sun is just setting and people are going out to cafes. there's been a few small demonstrations here in tel aviv today. but nothing like we saw yesterday. nothing like the city experienced over the weekend when there were hundreds of thousands of people here. there was a nervousness energy. there was tension. people came out because they believed that the government led by benjamin netanyahu is tring to strip their rights and is putting democracy at risk by launching a campaign to overhaul the courts. it's giving the government and benjamin netanyahu is now allied with the far right. he's allied with religious conservatives. the most extreme far right and
8:46 am
religious conservative government israel has ever had. and protesters who don't like the way things are heading here don't want benjamin netanyahu and his new allies to try to redefine the courts took to the streets. but after late last night, benjamin netanyahu said that he would postpone any decision until there's more consultation. after passover, consultations that could take over place over the next several months. things calm down, but the protesters say they are ready to go back on to the streets and effectively bring the country to its knees like it did over the weekend if he revive this is idea and insists on giving his hardline allies the power to change the courts here. >> so what should we make of the meeting bn between benjamin netanyahu and president biden? >> it sounds very prearraigned. the biden administration has been warning benjamin netanyahu
8:47 am
and speaking publicly against this idea of allowing hard hadliners who benjamin netanyahu is completely beholden to and there are a lot of people who have withdrawn similarities to the state of u.s. politics. benjamin netanyahu faces charges. he was talked out of power. then he managed to come back into power about three months ago by putting together this coalition that included the religious right and the nationalist right. now many say he's beholden to them and that's why he's trying to change the court. >> richard ankle, thank you so much. appreciate it. up next, the nation's top banking regulators are on capitol hill. we'll play for you what they are telling lawmakers today.rv.■ you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. that's why you choose vmware. with flexible multi-cloud services that enable digital innovation and enterprise control,
