10:02 am
good day, and thank you for staying with us. i'm jose diaz-balart this hour on msnbc, extreme weather and a new round of deadly storms tearing across the south leaving hundreds of thousands without power amid blistering heat. we'll have a live report from texas and your weather forecast as well. former president donald trump facing blistering new criticism from members of his own cabinet including his own defense secretary and former vice president mike pence questioning mr. trump's conservative credentials trying to stand now the a crowded 2024 field. on this juneteenth, msnbc's
10:03 am
trymaine lee travels to galveston, texas, the birthplace of juneteenth to look at the ongoing struggle by black americans for freedom and equality we begin this hour with severe weather warnings across the country. 12 million americans across the south are at risk after 14 tornadoes touched down in nine states, killing at least six people and leaving thousands without power in record-high heat perryton, texas, is facing a long road to recovery after being destroyed by a tornado one local business owner left completely devastated. >> how are you doing emotionally right now? >> it's hard it's really hard but i've got friends and family helping me, so --
10:04 am
>> joining us now is nbc news meteorologist bill karins and nbc news correspondent priscilla thompson in perryton, texas. bill, let me start with you. can you give us the forecast what can we expect today and throughout the week? >> jose, i'm going to start with the breaking news. i know you care about this so much, and anyone on the east coast, the caribbean and everything, too. we have a tropical depression forming out in an area that it shouldn't because our water is warmer than it should be this could be a hurricane in a couple days. it's only june typically we watch storms all the way out here nr the atlantic, late july, august, september, october this is really early it's out in the middle of nowhere now. in four or five days it will be near the windward or leeward islands, near st. lucia and northward. you're like, wait, this is a storm we have to pay attention
10:05 am
to to i will caution you this is five days from now. the weaker the storm is, the more it goes to the south. this is what we call a low confidence forecast. although everyone in puerto rico and the virgin islands say we could have a category one hurricane this upcoming weekend, you have to watch it -- go ahead. >> a lot of questions for you on this issue there's also another tropical system forming behind this one which would make it the first time ever in june that there are two tropical systems in the atlantic i'm wondering about this specific one that cone which obviously as the days progress becomes less i guess detailed, that cone, you're saying there's a pretty good shot that it won't end up near puerto rico, in the haiti area >> i'll explain.
10:06 am
this is tropical depression 3. what jose is talking about is the other thing off of africa. there could be two in a row. conditions are favorable for both to develop. the first one here would become brett, our b-named storm in a couple days. the second one is interrupted a little bit, a better chance of it turning out to sea. the within rehave this cone, you never pay attention to this center line. the forecast air shows it this far north or this far to the south. this is the forecast air that's why we call it the cone of uncertainty it's not time to board up or anything like that jose, the wind shear, by the time we get to this, the wind shear is what tears these storms apart. el nino means more wind shear. that's why we're not expecting as bad a hurricane season this
10:07 am
year as the last couple. it looks like the wind shear should tear this thing apart as it gets near puerto rico will it be in time we don't know. those are the questions we want to answer. we have a severe thunderstorm watch around jacksonville, florida. storms just went through brunswick, georgia isolated strong storms from the space coast northward to ain't augustine. we had a couple isolated strong storms, one in mississippi things have calmed down severe weather wise. >> priscilla, i want to go back to texas, specifically in perryton, it was so hard hit by this weather system. what are the urgent needs for folks there today? >> reporter: as you can see, the brutal heat is already bearing down on us right now one of the most urgent needs is electricity. that's why there are trucks like
10:08 am
this all over the area there are four on this street working to restore power lines in the hardest hit areas there are just over 400 people without power. the other big issue here is going to be the debris removal the good news is this is a farming and oil community. there are a lot of folks with heavy machinery. they're really making a dent in that debris removal. looking ahead, there's going to be a challenge with how do folks here rebuild and what is that aid going to look like you played that sound bite from oscar hernandez a little while ago. he had four businesses here that were destroyed he did not have insurance on any of them. i asked the mayor what is the aid going to look like for people like oscar. i want to play a little bit of what the mayor had to say about that >> the hope for texas for federal aid is monumental. we're a small town
10:09 am
we're going to work towards that federal aid. that federal aid is months away. what we need is money now to help these families. >> reporter: the mayor told me he believes 90% of those 200 homes and businesses that were destroyed were not insured so a lot of questions here about how exactly people in this tiny town will rebuild. jose >> it's something you and i were talking about last week, about the fact that a lot of folks do not have the insurance that will help them through here it's so important that we never forget the folks there as well as the ones affected in every part of our country. priscilla thompson and bill karins, thank you both so much for being with us today. more trump officials -- former trump officials speak out against their old boss as other gop contenders hit the trail plus the government rules that could help the former president delay his pending federal trial. we're back in 60 seconds on msnbc. zon. the network she can count on. and now she has myplan, the game-changing new plan

10:11 am
the magistrate overseeing the trump documents case before the trial begins gave the former president and his legal team new instructions about handling some of the sensitive material at the center of the case this morning. it comes as the 2024 front-runner is getting slammed by his former defense secretary mark esper who was asked on cnn whether mr. trump can be trusted with national secrets. take a listen to what he said. >> based on his actions, if proven true under the indictment by the special counsel, no it's just irresponsible action that places our service members at risk, places our nation's security at ricks. imagine if a foreign agent, another country were to discover documents that outline america's vulnerabilitys or the weaknesses of our military. these are very serious allegations and need to be taken seriously by everybody involved.
10:12 am
>> joining us today, nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian and nbc news correspondent halle berry on the campaign trail. also eugene daniels, tim miller, writer at large at the bulwark and former u.s. attorney, harry litman ken, what are the new instructions from the judge to trump and his lawyers? >> jose, this is a standard protective order that's present in almost every case it essentially -- it specifically says that the defendant, donald trump, can't keep copies of that information. he can take notes about it, but those notes have to be in the custody of his lawyers there's particular concern obviously about mr. trump because he has a habit of making public sensitive information he's obtained from his lawyers when witnesses names in this
10:13 am
case become public, they tend to be the subject of death threats. for instance, the secret service that testified before the grand jury, members of trump's mar-a-lago staff, all that information will go to his lawyers, and he'll be able to see it what this order says is he's not allowed to reveal it to the public this is about the unclassified evidence the classified information will be subject to a different set of rules. his lawyers having to get security clearance to view some of the material. there's going to be a big fight over what they have access to and what they can use in court. >> harry, what's your take on that the fbi resisted opening a january 6th probe for more than a year >> behind the scenes, jose, we've been speculating were they dragging their rp feet rp it's excellent reporting, understandably from carol and her colleagues a lot of it puts newer detail
10:14 am
behind what we knew already, but between a general caution and not wanting to appear too political and a desire to do the sort of doj approach of going bottom up starting with the march radars on the scene on january 6th. the department was methodical. i think arguably took a bit too long much of what he's detailing, and it's very valuable stuff, we already knew would be happening within the doj that is the way that the doj prepares big cases so i don't see it as a cause for a huge indictment of doj and the fbi. though i do think it's fair to say they took a little bit longer than they should have >> alley, i want to play another contender, governor ron desantis tareking another dig at trump this weekend without saying his name take a listen. >> we've developed a culture of
10:15 am
losing in this party where we've had three successive elections with substandard results, not in florida. we had a red wave in florida you're not going to be able to make any excuses about the 2024 election the time for excuses is over >> how are nikki haley and others pivoting, or are they as this documents case continues? >> reporter: look, they're trying desantis is not the only contender in this race making the electability argument against the former president his own former ally chris christie is doing that i've heard the same thing from former vice president mike pence. all of them are trying to find a way to go at trump and contrast from him without alienating the base that they're going to need support from the same for nikki haley, also a former member of the trump administration we've watched her response to this specific indictment over
10:16 am
the documents evolve over the course of a week or so, echoing what we've heard from some other contenders, that this is an example of a politicized justice system, but also saying, as someone who is a military spouse herself, who sent her husband off on a year-long deployment this past weekend to africa, she's saying if trump were found guilty of the things he's been indicted for, it's an example of his being reckless with national security, potentially putting the lives of servicemen and women in danger. she's also gone so far to say if she were elected and if he were found guilty, she would pardon the former president because she doesn't think it's good for the country to see a former president found guilty of crimes such as this a nuanced response, but i think what's so important to remember, jose, this is a time in the campaign where candidates need to be introducing themselves, telling voters what they are about. certainly in south carolina where i am today, nikki haley is no stranger to this crowd as he gets ready behind me to do an
10:17 am
event centered on energy in her home state on the campaign trail, every moment these candidates spend talking about donald trump is a moment they're not spending introducing themselves to voters that's probably going to be the thing that's more important. >> we're just beginning this campaign season. sooner or later that's going to become more and more important tim, meanwhile, mike pence on "meet the press" questioned mr. trump's conservative credentials. i want you to watch some of what he had to say. >> in 2016 donald trump promised to govern as a conservative. i'm proud to say we did for four years under the trump/pence administration but he makes no such promise today. not only has he been walking away from a clear commitment to the right to life, but, look, we have a national debt the size of our nation's economy joe biden's policy is
10:18 am
insolvency he won't talk about the 70% of the federal budget that represents entitlements. >> neither does donald trump want to talk about it. >> donald trump's position on the national debt is identical to joe biden's >> tim, do you see these stepped-up attacks from pence and, for example, former allies like bill barr and esper this weekend making a dent in trump's support at all >> it's a pretty low step-up in the attacks. i'm getting a little ptsd. a very limp case about donald trump's lack of commitment to spending cuts which frankly his base agrees with him on. the maga base isn't for entitlement cuts going after him on abortion, ron desantis attacking him sideways on electability. these are cases that, the types of things my old boss, jeb and
10:19 am
marco and others attacked donald trump on in 2016 i think if they're going to step up the attacks, maybe what bill barr was saying was a little more in line with what i think these canned dass are saying that went right to donald trump's character, right to whether he's capable of leading this country, whether or not he might be in jail when he's the nominee. if you want to make a dent, donald trump has a 50-some-odd-point lead, maybe 20 or 30 over ron desantis, to bridge that lead, it's going to take more than what we've seen so far. >> eugene, meanwhile some democratic insiders say president biden should lean in on the trump indictment in making his case for 2024 you see the white house changing their approach on this >> no, absolutely not. that's not something they're interested in doing. from the very beginning of this administration, even when they were a campaign, when they were
10:20 am
in the transition phase, all they would remind us is they wanted to make sure the department of justice is independent, largely because how they say donald trump politicized and used the justice department and how there was not a lot of faith in the american public with the justice department, so they wanted to stay out of that that's not going to change you can talk to anyone in biden world. they're not interested in wading into those waters because republicans immediately were saying that joe biden told merrick garland and the special counsel to throw donald trump in jail, to indict him. we haven't seen evidence of that arguably but that's been the argument they're going to do everything they can to make sure that's not the case and no one can argue that with any intellectual integrity. >> it's great to see you all i thank you all for being with us to i da. still ahead, today marks the

10:25 am
galveston, texas, past and present. folks today are trying to hold on to the legacy of what it means to be free and to build community and institution, but literally trying to hold on to their community brick by brick i had to go to galveston to see what's going on. check it out. >> you're here on the southwest corner of 22nd and strand where the juneteenth story began. >> reporter: it's been 157 years since the very first juneteenth celebration here on the island of galveston in texas where the last of america's enslaved black people were finally freed. sam collins is the co-chair of the juneteenth legacy project. >> we're at the colored church on broadway where the union soldiers would have moved through the city and posted the notice, general order number 3, on the door here. >> reporter: general order number 3 required absolute equality but for galveston's black community, equality has been anything but absolute. >> people talk about black wall street in tulsa. there were many communities that
10:26 am
were successful outside of those stories of places that were destroyed. galveston was one of those thriving communities. >> he says low-paying jobs, a rising cost of living, young and middle class black folks fleeing for better opportunities elsewhere all drained historic neighborhoods. then in 2008 a near death blow to the black community, hurricane ike. >> tonight galveston is a soaked and shattered disaster zone. >> reporter: 75% of galveston's houses and other buildings were taken out by the storm, including nearly 600 units of public housing the primarily black residents who lived there had no choice but to relocate. between 2000 and 2010, galveston's black population plummeted by 37% the city was eventually forced by the federal government to bring some public housing units back then came the pandemic as struggling families
10:27 am
dislocated, galveston drew in wealthy investors. >> so many of the homes that used to be occupied by black families are now short-term rentals. >> black families moving in? >> no. i have almost never heard of any black families moving in at all. >> reporter: generations of june's family grew up in galveston in this century-old clap board house by the gulf. >> i recognize this front porch? >> yes that's the front porch of where we are now this is my great grandfather ralph albert stole who was 5 the year juneteenth. >> reporter: police used to call this place island of color, a name that's faded with time. >> i guess what's at stake is the preservation of this very important history. they made homes for themselves, they educated themselves, they formed organizations >> i want to bring back black folks having some economic influence on the island. >> reporter: longtime resident anthony griffin is breathing new
10:28 am
life into old black galveston. >> we want to place a row tell on the other side of this street we own three or four lots on the other side. >> reporter: his plan, buy up as much land as he can to house and employee families still fighting for the true freedom that was promised. >> if you don't have economic opportunity, if you don't own land, if you're not able to participate fully in the american dream, you can ever have absolute equality. >> jose, that land i stood on with mr. griffin used to have a black-owned hotel and restaurants and dry cleaners it boasted black businesses in a black community. he's trying to bring that back folks i spoke with said it's one thing to acknowledge the heroics of the past to create a community, but also there are present-day issues that folks need to focus on the we want to spout about absolute equality and freedom. >> trymaine, thank you so much it's important to see hit after hit after hit after hit.
10:29 am
hane ike watching out 75% of the homes, these are such important things thank you for bringing that up. >> thank you >> appreciate it while juneteenth has been celebrated since the 19th century, it only became a federal holiday in 2021. congresswoman sheila jackson lee was involved in recognizing it at the federal level always a pleasure to see you i want to thank you for being with us today. i just want to know what this day means and how it feels for y you. >> jose, so good to be with you and all of your viewers. it is an unspeakable and speechless day let me thank you for the presentation before. i'm just coming back from galveston, with galvestonians recognizing the freedom

abraham lincoln did that it was the bloodiest war, the civil war. many people from outside the country wondered whether this experiment way back in 1863 and 1865 was going to last it did now 158 years later we have this holiday that took a very long time i'd like to say it was given birth by many hands. i've led this fight since 2013 to educate congress about juneteenth we had the bill pass until 2020. but it didn't go until 2021 when the president of the united states said he may have done and will have done many things, but signing this juneteenth holiday will be what he will be most remembered for as you can see from al edwards who made the state holiday, the first one in the state of texas,

10:40 am
>> jesse kirsch, thank you so very much. as the united states continues to grapple with gun violence, smaller countries that have experienced mass shootings are quickly tackling the issue head-on. nbc news chief foreign correspondent richard engel has more on that story >> reporter: last month there were two extremely rare mass shootings in serbia. serbians didn't see it coming. the third most per capita after the united states and yemen. but they have never been used like this before on may 3rd, a 13-year-old boy, for reasons still unclear, stormed into a school with two of his father's guns and a hit list and killed eight classmates the next day, a man in his 20s with a history of violence opened fire in a village, killing eight more but then came more than thoughts
10:41 am
and prayers. outrage became action. tens of thousands demanded not just tighter gun controls, but a reorientation of society away from violence, a reaction against armed rage. >> i think a lot of us have just had enough, and now it's a make-or-break moment >> reporter: his nine-year-old daughter was in the school when the 13-year-old boy went on a killing spree. what would you say to americans who have been through this and see no change? >> i would say to them safe guard your democracy, if you still have it, and mobilize and act. >> reporter: within weeks of the shootings here, new laws were introduced, and old ones enforced now all existing gun permits are under review all sales of new guns of any type are banned for two years.
10:42 am
gun owners must submit to in-person psychological and background checks. and owning an illegal gun is punishable by up to 15 years in prison many serbians are deciding being armed isn't worth the risk or hassle and are turning in their guns voluntarily there is lots of aks and assault rifles. >> reporter: there are 70,000 guns in this police warehouse, surrendered under a no-questions-asked amnesty this is only the start he wants to take 90% of guns off the streets soon what do you think when you see all of this? >> i see lives saved i see children's lives saved i see better safety for society, he said. >> reporter: serbia is deeply divided politically. over populism, abortion and gender identity, but overhauling gun laws was universally popular. he is an opposition politician there is outrage every time there was one of these shooting
10:43 am
in the united states, every time but very little is done about it why is it, do you think, you were able to cross political divides? >> i would say the one, the big condition for that is we are not having these big gun lobbies and the big industry, which is behind it. >> reporter: there were more than 300 mass shootings in the united states this year alone. in serbia, two were more than enough to bring change, and it wasn't even that hard. >> richard engel, thank you for that we are following breaking news out of the north atlantic the u.s. coast guard is searching for a missing deep water submarine that was exploring the site of the titanic wreckage a search and rescue operation is under way off the coast of newfoundland, about 900 miles east of cape cod it is unclear how many tourists were on board. nbc news has not confirmed that reporting. ocean gate expeditions followed

right now secretary of state antony blinken is on route to london from beijing after a meeting chinese president xi jinping, making history as the highest ranking member of the biden administration to visit china. he spoke with nbc's janis mackey frayer following his meeting can xi about the importance of strengthening relations with china. >> i think this is the start of the process to put a little more stability into it. both of us recognize that we have a responsibility to responsibly manage the relationship that starts with communicating, with actually engaging across our government >> with me now is nbc's dan de luce good to see you. this came after you and our nbc

news teams confirmed reporting that china has operated a spy base in china now for years. has any progress been made on that front >> i don't think there was any sign of progress in those talks regarding that chinese electronic surveillance base in cuba that's a pretty difficult subject to tackle, and no doubt the chinese are not happy about all the ways the u.s. gathers intelligence from china, from satellites to ground stations across the pacific and from aircraft it is a reminder that china is increasing and expanding both its military power and its intelligence-gathering capabilities >> yeah, former intel chief mark esper who has called china the greatest threat of our lifetime said this yesterday. take a listen. >> i'm not surprised, the chinese have a presence all around the world trying to spy
10:51 am
on us, and we see their actions since last fall have really picked up. it's important we realize this is the greatest strategic threat we're going to face in this century, and we shouldn't be surprised by chinese actions. >> you know, and there was the spy balloon over the united states there's that listening poster. i don't know how we're going to describe it in cue ba there's a supply balloon that flew over latin america, colombia, spotted seeing that. what's the internal calculus among u.s. intelligence officials on this type of story, china's ever growing presence with spy balloons and listening posts in latin america >> i think they see it as part of china's expansion as a power, growth as a power, and as a military power, an economic power, and also with intelligence, you know, capabilities the one thing i would say is the balloon is probably not at the
10:52 am
top of the list as sort of frustrating and embarrassing as that was at some level for the u.s., i think there are other capabilities the chinese have, especially in space, they're developing increasingly sophisticated satellites, and that is of great concern, and then of course the cyber espionage that goes on, the industrial espionage the chinese have conducted stealing intellectual property, and very sensitive technology that can be used for both military and peaceful purposes. i think that's at the top of the list the u.s. sees china as this growing power and increasingly aggressive and assertive in its actions. you saw this in the pacific, just days before blinken's visit, there were two close encounters this the pacific in the air and at sea, and there's no sign china is ready to pull back from that i think we're in a very tense time, and blinken's visit was an attempt to lower the

happy to have you here happy monday lots of news of all kinds going on right now there's still more to find out there's still more to get to the bottom of. final l after past the hour. crews are working around the clock to rebuild a busy stretch
10:58 am
of interstate 95 in philadelphia this weekend pennsylvania's governor announced the collapsed portion of the interstate should reopen within two weeks. this critical stretch of highway shut down more than a week ago after a tractor-trailer hauling gas crashed and caught fire during a visit to philadelphia on saturday. the president committed federal resources each step of the way >> there's no more important project right now in the country as far as i'm concerned. i'm directing my team, not figuratively but literally to move heaven and earth to get this done as soon as humanly possible. >> and joining now from philadelphia, nbc news correspondent george solis good to see you. this is a massive project. just how much is going to be required to get this thing reopened in two weeks? >> reporter: yeah, jose, the president taking a helicopter to fly over 95 to survey the damage
10:59 am
as opposed to driving through to prevent the crews from stopping work that's how committed they are to making sure they reopen this within that two-week time period governor josh shapiro, as you recall, signed the emergency declaration to get as much funding available to get the repair and rebuild down. you have hundreds of workers from in and around the philadelphia area, doing the demolition and paving and the back fill for temporary structures for cars to start moving in the next two weeks, they're from around the philadelphia area. there are people here committed and invested the pennsylvania department of transportation actually setting up a 24/7 live stream so people can actually watch this rebuild in realtime. it's not just about the detours and getting the cars here, a lot of people know this is so important to philadelphia specifically you have this live stream actually playing in restaurants and bars of course we all know that 95 here, this particular section is also important
11:00 am
160,000 cars go through this section of interstate. 14,000 trucks. the detours get so critical, concerns that the interruptions here could interfere with the supply chain, city of philadelphia, the state working on detours in and around the area to get cars moving in and out as quickly as possible but again, right now that time line has been expedited. we initially heard months. now we're hearing two weeks. of course people are skeptical the governor says they are committing to getting the work done all eyes on the work on i-95. >> george solis in philadelphia, thank you so much, and that wraps up this hour for me. i'm jose diaz-balart you can always reach me on twitter and instagram@jdbalart, thank you for the privilege of your time. the great chris cillizjansing p with news right now. it is
