but there is also my family. when we found ourselves having these conversations about what if i get charged with a felony? what would that look like? how are we going to take care of our family? we started having these conversations we realize that this is too risky for us to continue to live here. >> i've got you, carly cooper. we thank you for all that you do adverse sharing a story with us. all right, everybody. we have got a lot more coming up. you are watching msnbc. our second hour starts right now. ight now. hey hey everyone i am yasmin vossoughian. if you are just joining us, we welcome you. if you are sticking with us, we are thankful for that. still on the loose and texas authority they're searching for a suspect who slipped away after the country's latest mass shooting. five people killed, including

an eight year old child. the clock ticking down, as well. to a hollywood writer strike. the deadline just hours away for work stoppage that could impact your favorite shows. i'm going to speak with congresswoman, barbara lee, about her gop kong -- playing cart chicken with the american economy as the debt limit fight heats up. plus this -- >> the job isn't finished. i mean, it is finished for tucker carlson. >> to the staff i want you to know what you are feeling. i worked at the daily so. i too have been blindsided by the setting departure of the host of a fake news program. >> president biden and career more would junior take aim at across and in the white house correspondents dinner. coming up, we will take a look at where tucker's extremist audience may be headed. now also this hour, creating a doll that looks like her, nothing better than this. i'm gonna be joined by caleb mckee and, and inspiring woman

who worked with mattel to develop the new down syndrome barbie for herself and all those who look like her. that is ahead this hour, as well. we want to begin with some breaking news that we're following out of east texas. a manhunt is expanding for a mass shooting suspect now into the second day of that man hunt. federal state, local law enforcement officers arefanningf francisco or pays a who is believed to be responsible for killing five of his neighbors, including a child. nbc news's priscilla thompson joins us now, once again, from cleveland, texas. take us there, priscilla. we are awaiting word. any updates on the apprehension of the suspect? >> yasmin i am told that there will only be an update from law enforcement if the suspect is apprehended. i will tell you what we are seeing on the ground here. there has been state law enforcement. the fbi. walking through the neighborhood talking to

neighbor, searching homes and vehicles this investigation is clearly still ongoing. we know that yesterday a official believe they had a perimeter around the suspect. they were speaking to someone who have been in contact with him every couple of hours. it seemed as though they were closing in on the suspect. we learned late yesterday that law enforcement officials found a cell phone and clothing of the suspect but they did not actually find him. after that, the dogs that we're tracking him lost his scent. it is unclear where this investigation goes from here. we know that there are multiple agencies on the ground here still searching. last word we got was that there could be ten, he could be 10 to 20 miles from here, if not further. he could be anywhere is about one of the officials said. meanwhile, we've been here speaking to neighbors about all of. this we spoke to one woman who knew both the suspect in the victims. i wanted to play a little bit of what she shared about all of

this. take a listen. >> family guy, he's got a son. always working, training is horses. anytime you've seen a home he was always doing something. he worked for me doing work. he worked for the other neighbors. never, never, have i seen a fight. argument. raise his voice. anything. we have family pontius together. like i said, for five houses would all get together. it was the norm. >> it was shocking -- >> beyond shocking! but >> we also know that, obviously, this did happen. police have said that alcohol may have been involved. the suspect may have been intoxicated when he went over to the home. again, shooting those people. the sheriff told me, flat, out firearms and alcohol do not mix. now the search continues for that suspect. two lives, many lives, completely destroyed.

here it has been? >> priscilla, the fbi tweeted earlier today that they released and incorrect image of the suspect. msnbc airing the image in the 1 pm hour before the fbi tweeted it was incorrect. what do we know about what happened here? >> well, we don't know much, yasmin, i noticed that had happened. i had retreated the image. i saw it had been deleted. i immediately called, reached out to the fbi to figure out what was going on. shortly thereafter, about 40 minutes later i was directed to the tweet they had just posted saying that and incorrect image with a blue black top was mistakenly disseminated. that image had been removed from the social accounts. urging people not to use that photo. the fbi has since tweeted out more photos. the one thing they did say in that tweet was this remains a fluid investigation. they also updated the spelling of the suspects last name.

it seems that this is still a very active and fluid situation as they try to get all of the facts in order and all the answers. trying to disseminate this information to the public in the hope that someone will be able to locate the suspect. of course the key warning from law enforcement is that if someone believes they see the suspect do, not approach him. they believe that he is armed and dangerous. urging folks to call police immediately. yasmin? >> priscilla thompson for us. we think. you we will stay on this story. we are awaiting an announcement, everybody, any moment now, about a possible deal to say first republic bank. it will be the first republican bank to fail in the past three months. they're working to finalize the sales of 91 of several bidders who finalize their offers today, including citizen financial in jpmorgan chase. a deal is expected to be announced before the asian markets open tonight hollywood could be just a day away from another rider strike. negotiations for a new contracts continue --

the clock is ticking with the wet coast monday deadline looming. joining me now is msnbc's marissa par in los angeles with more on this. the last rider strike, marissa, was november 2007. it lasted, i believe, about 100 days. give us the latest on where the negotiations stand. and some of the asks from the rioters. >> negotiations are happening right now, as we speak. they continue to happen, they will continue to happen throughout the next 40 hours here. think about the last time there was a rider strike. so much has changed in the world. especially in the world making television and movies over the last 15 years. what rioters are asking for, not just better conditions but, bottom line, they are asking for a path forward in this new world of streaming. and the future world of artificial intelligence. >> a looming strike could bring hollywood to a halt as thousands of rioters across the country prepared to hit the picket line for the first time

in 15 years. pickbottom line, what do you gus fighting for? >> compensations. it's not hard. >> last week the writers guild of america saying in a statement our membership has spoken. over 97% of members voting yes to authorize the strike. the wga and the alliance of motion picture and television producers have until midnight monday to reach a deal. if they don't, your favorite movies and tv shows could go dark. a similar strike in 2007 cut short seasons of fan favorites like scrubs. >> turkey, that is a stupid sitcom! and the office, michael is sick. he wants one of us to rescue him. >> i'm killing michael. >> that strike result 100 days later. since then the world of making movies and tv has completely changed. with the rise of a.i. tool psych chatgpt, stories can be crafted in a matter of seconds. the streaming boom have led to shows with episodes --

less episodes meaning less pay for rioters. >> rioters is a gig economy. instead of having a job the last four year. you have to piece together each of the last for six weeks. >> among the guilds list of demands, a bump in pay for stability. regulation for using artificial intelligence. any standard for working in streaming. the a.m.p. tp, which represents the nine largest media say they are fully committed to reaching a mutually beneficial deal. with time running out the chances of a deal in tinseltown are not crystal clear. >> so yasmin, it is worth noting here that if the strike does happen, that is a big if right now. so much can change. late night talk show that feel the impacts first. those are alive, they happen every day. we would see a ripple effect throughout hollywood that would really, in terms of how much of an impact. ? it depends on how much time the strike would be. timing turning out. the union in the alliance have until midnight tomorrow to figure this out or else we are

going to see a lot of changes happening in hollywood. yasmin? >> that is our marissa par for us. we thank you. a lot more still to come, folks. we are back in just 60 seconds with a look at the post tucker carlson future for the far-right audience. where are they gonna watch now? where are they gonna get the information? the fox host wasn't american extreme's largest megaphone. what will they do? we will put that question to nbc's ben collins coming up next. chase freedom unlimited. so, if you're off the racking... ...or crab cracking, you're cashbacking. cashback on flapjacks, baby backs, or tacos at the taco shack. nah, i'm working on my six pack. switch to a king suite- or book a silent retreat. silent retreat? hold up - yeeerp? i can't talk right now, i'm at a silent retreat. cashback on everything you buy with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours.

[laughter] >> oh, i would call fox honest,

fair, and truthful, but then i could be sued for defamation. >> that was the president poking fun at tucker carlson. fox news, as well. at last night's white house correspondents dinner. it has come as the chain has reportedly lost 50% of his usurper carlson's old timeslot senses ousting on monday. someone's far-right audience also reacting on white supremacists message boards to the firing of the former host, spreading conspiracy theories and disinformation that often originated from extremist forms. joining me now is nbc news senior reporter, ben collins. talk us through this, right? because we have been hearing a trickle of reaction from a lot of these far-right groups when it comes to his firing, especially online. you quote one 4chan users as saying tucker is one of the last hour guys. i guess that is referring to a meme, amongst white nationalist. fellow travelers as i guess

they're called online. another 14 user saying bad time coming. what more can you tell us about this? >> look first of all our guys is very old white supremacist message board phrase to identify people that they thought was one of them but they couldn't say it out loud. they can't say they are white nationalists but they say all the stuff they believe. that is what the. believe storm chance, light front, all these white supremacy group believe the tucker was a guy who was able to make academic arguments on fox news, split the difference, about white nationalist causes. use bigger words for what they were saying on the message boards. get it out to people that they thought were normies, regular people. they are kind of lost. they don't really know where to go from here. this is how the far-right operates. they brainstorm, the uses places like ammo dumps. they come back, they huddle they talk to each other about what is the messaging?

they wait for someone like tucker to get their message out in the open. back 30 years ago it was david duke. there are people who go up through the mainstream pipeline who they try to pop up. this is the best i've ever done. that is gone now. they don't really know what to do. >> what is interesting but it's there are so many different pipelines now, right? versus what there was three decades ago. you mentioned that it was a success tucker cross an is out of hospitals, waiting rooms, military bases, as well. that is a victory, as you said, for america. you think about the breath, the reach, so many far-right activists have. alex jones for instance. when it counts the podcast, so many other mediums to get that message out, what are your expectations for tucker? >> that is a good question. the internet has his back.

if he does reciprocate, right? he will try to do some fan service. i do want to stress, by the way, tucker is uniquely skilled at laundering those talking points. making it seem like it's just a little bit outside the bounds. what else is new? it's fox news. as you said it was a 50% drop off in that time slot. he was really good at being able to identify main characters, individual characters who could not defend themselves. sikh that white nationalist online mob on them. that was something he did really well. whoever else is going to replace him, if they are able to do that, they're gonna have to learn on the fly. no one else that fox news is like that. you can complain about sean hannity, all these other people. you may not agree with them. but tucker was doing a uniquely destructive kind of thing. creating talking points. creating pariahs. creating targets out of them. the airing of white supremacist

boards. mainstream them. creating a feedback loop to these places where they had real allegiance to him. he had these places online. he's not gonna be in a jiffy lube waiting room anymore. that is a huge deal for this country. >> my other question for you is we all saw the viral video of the former president, i believe, up in new hampshire. talking to as the person self identified aj six or. there was an embrace, and exchange. on a play that for you quickly. and then we will talk. >> get over here. president trump on the call it republican. can we get a picture? >> thank you, president trump. >> you take the. you take care. [inaudible] >> we are going to take care of you. you gotta take care of yourself. i'm wondering, more than anything, not so much about the former president's messaging on

this and what's this all mean. the type of reaction we see online in some of these far-right groups after this type of imaging. this type of video. >> yasmin, that person, she is a member of the negative cult. that called is the group of people who hung around unoccupied elie plaza because they thought jfk juniors come back to life to be the vice president of the united states. that sort of, extremely online sort of thing. donald trump is now fine talking to those people. it is something that his previous campaign banned, his staff at least banned qanon shirt from the background of the shots and campaign rallies. there was some effort in the last go around to disassociate the conspiracy theories from his campaign. apparently not anymore. this is going to be a different cycle. these people are very insulated. the idea that jfk juniors coming back to life to be the

vice president of donald trump, is kind of fine. i just wonder if most of the country knows that that is where the movement is right now. that is where it is. >> i believed of ron and jason, who often appear on our show, have taken pictures with the reincarnated jfk junior at some right-wing rallies recently. we have shown some of that video. >> yasmin, there are like three of those guys going around. >> god. >> they are all in rough shape to be honest with you. i don't plan on. he's been underground for a long time now. >> thank collins, as always, we thank you. coming up the latest on the debt limit negotiation from california -- mattel stepping up inclusion. unveiling a new barbie with down syndrome. i will speak to a woman who helped design the doll to represent people like herself. flooding has now subsided for some along the mississippi river. we are live in iowa with the damage already done. we will be right back. back.

flooding we have a launching in the midwest from the overflowing mississippi river it is peaking near record highs in iowa. giant snow met up north is continuing to cause dangerous floods. george solis sitting by for us on the eastern us there. what are you seeing? >> a good example of what we have been seeing in these communities is exactly what is going on behind me. people who now have to use a boat to get in and out of the neighborhood. this gentleman coming out with another bone. they have been parking them here, again, because that is the only way they can get in a row. another thing residents have been telling me that's really frustrating is the fact that they have no heat. if they want to stay there and try to repair things, get things going as far as clean up they can't because they have no hot water. they can't cook, shower, it's that era. the other thing, of, courses they are a few hours away from this river cresting.

presumably the worst will soon be over. we know the flood walls and the locks have done their part, at least from what we've been hearing. that is the good news in all of this. the damage already done as you have alluded to. tractors, basements flooded out here in these communities. hundreds and hundreds of people impacted many of them, again, just waiting for this water to recede so they can really start to assess and start the cleanup process. emotions here have really run the gamut from people who say this is what they expected with the river, of course, flooding. other saying yes, we know, this is going to be bad. it was really worse than we could've expected. take a listen to what some of the residents have been telling me. >> our homes are safe. we are well equipped to withstand the high waters. we do have to lift everything off the ground. everything in new york are, the main level garage, it does have to be lifted up on to high shoving or up onto your deck,

that kind of thing. the only alternatives are space heaters. we actually delivered a couple of heaters to our 91-year-old name but the other day. that was the only option you have to stay warm. >> that is really the challenge that the residents have been dealing with. again if you can see here where we are wrapping up you can see this individual getting out of the bell. looks like they have a small puppy with them. these are the images that we've been seeing for the last couple days here. people trying to get to higher ground. they go in and out of their homes to clean up when they can. of course, without hot water you have to go somewhere for a shower to stay warm, especially on a day like today. chilly, rainy. not ideal to be spending time in your flooded home. we are going to stay out here, continue to walter -- crest expected tomorrow. it has a lot of residents, of course, breathing a sigh of relief. they hope that the water recedes as quickly as it rose, yasmin? >> get the sight of those tiny puppeteers coming in on that

ball. just trying to rescue what you love. bring them to safety amidst it all. george solis, we thank. you straight ahead, everybody, the debt limit fight on capitol hill after the gop passed a bill with massive spending cuts. i will be joined live by congresswoman barbara lee, in a moment, on that. the president takes the age issue head on. the white house correspondents dinner just days after making his reelection run official. >> you might think i don't like rupert murdoch. it's simply not true, how could i dislike the guy that makes me look like harry styles. they say i'm ancient. i say i'm wise. they say i'm over the hill. don lemon would say that the man in his prime. ♪ breeze driftin' on... ♪ [coughing] ♪ ...by, you know how i feel. ♪ if you're tired of staring down your copd,...

wire, are you willing to let the u.s. default rather than sign an unclean bill? >> we just passed the bill that actually addresses the debt ceiling. for all that we hear from our senate friends, martha, that they have yet to pass anything. >> the responsible thing that we have to do is avoid this gop manufactured to fall crisis. we know that last time when they came up to the brink of defaulting the cost was born by the american people.

>> as we heard there, topper hub liquids are continuing to defend their planned for his massive spending cuts in order to pay the country's bills despite democrats warning that the gamble could tackling economy. i want to bring in congresswoman barbara lee, a democratic californian. congresswoman, it is great to talk to you this afternoon. thank you for joining us. >> happy to be here. >> if you would respond, give me your reaction to some of what you just heard there. >> sure, first we have to remember this, it was republican tax cuts for the mega rich and for corporations which added trillions of dollars to our debt. now they are saying they don't want to pay the bills that they created. rather inflict harm on the american people. that is wrong. secondly, we need to understand -- let me give you an example of what i'm talking about. when we talked about inflicting harm on the american people. in speaker mccarthy's district,

for example, defaulting on the debt would lose 6700 jobs in his district. about 285,000 people, including veterans, would lose health care. this is in speaker mccarthy's district. social security payments would be jeopardized. for about 75,000 people in speaker mccarthy's district. here in my state of california we would lose many, many, college students in terms of making college more expensive if we defaulted. 800 in some thousand students would experience more cost and going to college. college is very expensive. 35,000 preschool in childcare children will lose their child care and preschool services. it is a very risky game that they are playing. they need to stop it. they need to go on and do what we always do. that is pay our bills. >> message received. they need to stop it. what is going to happen though, right? it seems that everyone is digging in their heels. mccarthy beholden to the right

wing of his party. wanting major cuts in order to avoid defaulting. it doesn't seem like democrats are on board with that it doesn't seem that the president on board with that either. where did this go? >> first of all we need to de-link. i'm glad the president saying it. he is not gonna negotiate on paying our bills. he won't negotiate on the budget. i serve on the budget committee and the appropriations committee. we will negotiate a budget. our spending levels for what we intend are our priorities in terms of spending federal tax dollars. when you pay your bills you don't negotiate about paying your bills. we will have to keep fighting. keep remember that the american people are the ones we have to speak directly to so they can get to their republican representatives and let them know that they want to keep their health care. they don't want to lose their jobs. they don't lose their social security. they do not want to have to feel the impact of the harm in terms of being taken hostage

just to pay our own bills. you don't do that to people. >> congresswoman, a couple things i wanted to get to while i have you. first and foremost, some of what is going on when it comes to ethics, possible ethics violations within the supreme court. how chief justice john roberts has said he will not appear despite being asked, of course, by the senate to appear before the judiciary committee to look into this. we are now hearing from business insiders about some earnings from the chief justices wife coming up around ten point $3 million is a recruiter for law firms, one of which the law firms appeared before the supreme court. also the chief justice misreporting these on his tax filing. setting them a salary versus commission. what do you make of it, along with, of course, the other reporting we have revealed when it comes to chief justice

clarence thomas? >> you know what, yasmin? no wonder people have lost faith and trust with the supreme court. it is really outrageous. first of all need to have a code of ethics. they need to be honorable and unethical. we see now that they are not. in fact we need to hold them accountable. no one, including supreme court justices, are above the law. you could not engage in corruption and try to be responsible for equal justice under the law. you know, the corporate environment that has seeped into court decisions, corruption that we see now coming forward with these justices. really it inform me, in particular, as to why now we see the people of our country have lost faith in the supreme court. we have to have court reform. there are many ways that people are viewing this. i have to say this is a moment

where we have to look at all options that are on the table. you cannot have a supreme court where corporations and corruption are ever-present every day. >> quickly weigh in for me on marjorie taylor greene. the exchange that she is had with randy wajngarten in the president of the american parish of teachers during a hearing about covid in schools. in which the congresswoman, essentially, told randi line garden she is not a mother. -- oh >> have consistently identified herself as a mother by marriage. >> you know i hope that her constituents are paying attention to her. it is disgusting, it is ridiculous. once again we are seeing who she is. what she believes and. she has been stripped of her committee assignments before behind such outrageous types of statements. believe you me, this is wrong. this, again, shows who she is. really, i hope that her

constituents really see how she values, and what her values are. this exemplifies those values. they are immoral, unethical, and wrong. >> congresswoman, barbara lee, as always it is a. pleasure as the president officially launches an election bid voters have expressed concern about his age. last night the topic would not off limits, even for the president himself. watch this. >> i believe in the first amendment. not just because my good friend jimmy madison rhoda >> jimmy madison [laughter] let's bring in cristobal alex and, now an msnbc political analyst. thank you for joining. us how do you think it landed? the president poking fun at himself when it comes to some of the criticism about his age, especially after announcing his reelection bid? could this be a window to a strategy he should take going forward? >> great to be with you.

thank you for having me back on. i thought it was hilarious. the great jokes. it also shows that he has a real sense of humor. he's quick on his feet. also, as a personal note, i will say that having worked closely with the president during his first election in 2020 i have seen him up close. he works hard, he is up earlier than his staff. he is always on the run. he's a very hard campaigner. it is exhausting to be around him. on a personal level i'm not too worried about that. he won that election with more votes than anyone has ever got. folks in 2020 didn't think, oh, he's a millennial. they knew how old he was. what has he done since becoming president? he has done more than, basically, any president in modern american history. i think that he has a lot to show. i thought the strategy last night, to poke fun at himself, was a good one. -- jen psaki here has essentially said, i will read the quote here, it is more about the issues and not necessarily about the age. donald trump's four-year age

advantage seems far less controversial than issues on democracy, women's rights, democracy, and the climate crisis. is this where the campaign should remain focused? not only where democrats stand, on all of these issues, but also what could happen if republicans are back in the white house. >> i think that is exactly right. here is the thing, not only is he very capable. he has achieved so much in a short period of time. we also have to think about the contrast his likely opponent, by the way just a little bit younger than him i want to be respectful but i think the term would be he's obese, right? he can't even walk the golf course voters quite frankly pride on care of what about that what they want to see are thestdidn't want to go backwardi think that jen psaki is exactly right you have to focus on those issues. the campaign, outside of her skin contra forth where donald

was holding we had the conversations, as well. around diversity. looking at a male barbie. a lot of those conversations. we are taking a lot of the feedback that the community is giving us. we have a lot of outreach asking when's the next barbie that looks a little bit more like them? we want to provide that feedback back to mattel. hopefully we will have an opportunity to do this again with another barbie with down syndrome. >> was your advocacy, kandi, people in your communities advocacy a part of the design processed with mattel? did they tap into your knowledge? >> they did, they did. we were really inclusive. at nds me include people townsend him first and foremost with everything we do. kayla and our colleague charlotte were part of the whole process from strategy calls, the design. we had a medical doctor that served on a committee that gave feedback when we were designing the dots of. yes, we absolutely put people
