of 2016 coming in? i mean, these rallies, the enormity of them, the fomenting of trumpism. >> yeah, look, war we said today, absolutely. you have donald trump on this a massive campaign of retribution, rhonda sanchez is taking a grievance campaign, and the targeting of marginalized communities even further. what we have seen is that republican voters continue to align with that. i won't even call it an ideology, that angry populism, that approach. look, very importantly, if you are packed the national polls for donald trump's lead, a look at his state by state, he's done double digits in iowa, new jersey, new hampshire, south carolina, nevada. this is donald trump's party still today. >> okay. you guys are still today my sunday family, i love you. all thanks so much. have a good one. that's going to do it for me on this edition of alex witt reports. happy fourth of july, everyone. i'll see you friday, 1 to 3 pm. again, next saturday, noon to two pm, and sunday one pm eastern. my friend leslie wiser

continues our coverage. good afternoon, everyone. i'm lindsay reiser in for natalie pursue cnn today. a search is underway for a suspect, or suspects, in baltimore, after a mass shooting kills two young people and leaves dozens more injured. the mayor of the city is pleading with witnesses to come forward to catch the shooter. >> we need you to treat this as if someone had taken the life of your son, your daughter, your father, your brother. we need you to do that, step up and do the right thing. and to those who carried out the act, we will find you. we will bring you to justice. >> we're also following relentless protests in france over the police killing of a teenager. we're going to have a live report. the fallout from the supreme court decision on affirmative action this hour, the potential devastating impact could have on diversity in the medical

community, all of that plus donald trump makes a public defense of his handling of classified documents. we are going to do fact-checking at some of his big plans. that's coming up. we are going to begin with that breaking news. two people have died, 28 people are injured. this is just one of the latest mass shootings in america. this is what happened overnight at a party in baltimore as brooklyn holmes neighborhood. the tragedy is ripping through the city on a holiday weekend. in a, moment i'm going to talk to former -- rob d'amico, but we'll start with and d.c.'s melissa in baltimore. what are you learning? >> wednesday, there is a lot that we're still waiting to find out. we will hopefully find out during a press release that's happening in the next half hour so. let's start with what we do. now at least 30 victims. we know at least two people have died. an 18-year-old, and a 20 year old. now 28 others are injured that we know of. we know at least three were in critical condition, as of this morning. a lot of details we're still waiting to find out.

within the last hour and a half, we had a chance to speak with a family member of one of those victims. a 16-year-old. this family member was saying that her niece, 16 years old, was shot twice. she got here, by the time this family member got here, her niece was already discharged. you can imagine the frenzy that so many family members -- remember, at least 30 victims we know of are going through, trying to track down how their loved ones are doing. what we know from police is that this happened around 12:30 this morning and baltimore's brooklyn neighborhood. this is just south of the downtown enter harbor. this is in south baltimore. you can see the remnants of what was very clearly a block party. this was a joyous, festivity. you can see the remnants of cups on the ground before people scattered for their lives. we understand that people thought that the sounds of gunshots were actually at the sounds of fireworks. clearly a very disturbing scene and bowl day. the mayor has spoken about the several tabs. one, ask if anyone knows any

new information, to come forward. as of right now, no suspect has been publicly identified. that is of last check. also, stressing the need, the mayor was saying, the need to not just this local area, but on a nationwide scale, for stricter gun laws. >> we can do a lot in this country to resolve violence by just banning those guns in this country, to something that congress could ensure do today. folks shouldn't be able to have access to weapons in that way. we recover, on the streets of baltimore city, every year, more guns that come from states outside of maryland, better than within maryland. that's because we have guidelines that actually work. >> so, lindsey, we are outside the university of maryland medical center. a shock trump center. we know at least 12 patients were taken here. in addition we know for patients were taken to the pediatric department. while we're still waiting for more details on the scope of the injuries, we can assume that at least several of those

injured were minors, lindsey. >> those images are so hard to see. the cops thrown about, the scooter half has a plea line there is people were just trying to have fun. they thought it was fireworks. absolutely terrified. melissa, we understand the city is trying to help people in that neighborhood with support, what's going on? >> yes, we have a couple of sentences of information from the mayor put out on his twitter accounts. there is a local community center that will be used as a hub, if you will, for research. it's for people who live in this neighborhood. again, when you have upwards of 30 victims, that's a lot of people who are impacted. people who probably will largely looked in that area. they're going to be off or not just eta resources, but also trying to address the trauma that this community has obviously faced in a very short matter of time, lindsey. >> melissa parra, thank you for that live reporting. rob, given what we know so far, what is that that stands out to you about this case?

>> well the big thing, like you said, i thought it was fireworks. the police probably already know how many shooters they're looking for. and i think the crime scene, i think witnesses have told them that they can now start looking at specifics. they have sources out there telling them. did not going to come public until they've probably put them in custody. what they don't want to do is tell the suspect, or suspects, but they, now and how much, how close they are. based on the scene, it's chaotic. i'm sure it was a moving scene as people started bodied away from the gunfire. they're going to have cell phone cameras to go through, and all the video that people were taken at the time. then they're going to start looking at some technical things. it's going to be tough because a lot of the witnesses also ran out and got to the hospitals on their own. they're going to have to find all those witnesses, and bring the men, and get the story from them. >> what to get more promotion from place this afternoon. rob, can we see some federal

helm at some point? we're talking about 30 victims here. >> all the time. i mean, the baltimore homicide guys are great. guys in dallas are great. they're going to be happy. the case, on the federal side, if they need help with evidence recovery, if they need help on victim counseling, that's in the federal side can come into the report. >> all right, rob d'amico, thank you so very much for joining us. i appreciate your time. you are going to be sticking with us. we are going to be hearing from baltimore officials in the news conference this hour. we'll bring you that live when it happens. we want to tell you about a separate mass shooting overnight at a nightclub in wichita, kansas. that left seven people injured and two others trampled. the victims range from 21 to 34 years old. no one has died. this is according to local police. they have one person in custody, with investigation underway. police did add that the shooting marks one of nearly a dozen incidents associated with this nightclub in the last year. local officials now say they

could suspend or revoke its liquor license as part of a security crackdown. turning now to the followed after multiple landmark ruling from the supreme court this week, including decisions on affirmative action, student loans, and antidiscrimination laws. lawmakers, in 2020 hopefuls on both sides of the aisle, reacting to the polarizing ruins. nbc -- 's is on capitol hill for. scary, good to see you. these cases are likely to have big implications on the campaign trail. what are we hearing so far? >> yeah, i think it's really cemented the idea that education and lgbt rights are really going to be a hot topic issue on the campaign trail, in addition to the kitchen table issues, the economy, jobs, that we always hear about every election. it's a cycle here, right? you can't get a good pay job unless you have the resources to get that job. you don't have the resources to get that job unless you have a good paying job. it's a real cycle. here's what some of the folks we talk to, sorry, here are some of the 2024 candidates had to say on the morning show this

morning. >> i think there was a time for affirmative action, john, where to open the doors of our colleges and universities to minority students. i think those days are over. >> the question is this, did we just slip to see the high-water mark of freedoms and rights in this country before they were gradually taken away? >> this business is no right not to show people from a protective class. by the same token, the government doesn't have the right to tell business the nature of how they need to use their abilities. >> these are the types of rulings that signal a dangerous quid towards authoritarianism and sexualization of power in the core. >> we have seen what aoc has seen, we've seen this push for progressives in the recent days to say things like they want to expand the court, they want to end the filibuster. realistically, that doesn't seem entirely possible in this congress, given how biden's. >> i've seen you, know i'm

really interested to hear that you are one of one dozen reporters allowed in the court during the decision days this week. what was that like? what are some of your perspectives that you saw? >> he was a really interesting week to be inside of less than a dozen journalist that were inside the courtroom as these decisions were being announced. one thing i do get the impression of is that other justices really understood, for better or for worse, the implications, the long-lasting, an extensive implications of the decisions they were making. i think of when clarence thomas was giving his concurrent opinion on the affirmative action case. all the justices were watching clarence thomas give this opinion, except for ketanji brown jackson. justice jackson was looking straight ahead, occasionally sipping your coffee. she was not looking at clarence thomas the only other black men brought the court as he was giving this opinion. i found that really interests dane. nelson found the nature of a very fascinating. you won't hear anyone talk about these decisions, because the supreme court did not

really set. they only just a few years ago began releasing the argument audio of all this for the supreme court. it's very old fashion. there is an annual clock of the court where it strikes, ten they walk up, and they just start. lindsey. >> thank you for giving us some of that color. hundreds more under arrest in france after the fifth night of unrest there. we're back in 60 seconds on what leaders are doing to calm the situation. the situation. tourists taking photos that are analyzed by ai. so researchers can help life underwater flourish. ♪ at pnc bank, so researchers can help life you can find us in big cities and small towns across the us, where our focus is to always support

with you. what we know is that this mayor of this town, like you mentioned, just outside of paris, he said that he was inside city hall last night monitoring the protests. he said that someone drove a car through his house. then set that car on fire, said in his house on fire. his wife and two young children were asleep inside. he said that they made this desperate attempt to try to get out of their home through the back door, and that's when they were targeted by protesters who launched fireworks at them. we understand that his wife was taken to the hospital. everyone is expected to be okay police donbas to get in. i mean, we have seen this type of violence over the last five days. tonight could possibly be the sixth night that we see this violence. in paris, for example, yesterday, we saw police lining the streets along the champs phillies day, down in marseille, which is a hot spot, we've seen the violence just continuing to escalate there for the past three days. we saw this onslaught of police officers in that town. we saw three s.w.a.t. team members there. hundreds of police are being

led by armored vehicles through the town. there were helicopters flying above. this level police presence has seen to work. it is decrease some of the violence that we've seen. government officials are attributing that to the fact that we've seen some 45,000 police officers deployed throughout the entire country. french president, emmanuel macron, he was meant to go to germany for what would've been the first official visit and more than two decades. that has been postponed because of what's happening in this country. of course, he's under pressure, given the faculty we're seeing so much violence over this shooting of the 17-year-old. but then of course, that comes on the heels of what we've seen over the last six months, where the entire country was protesting because of that pension reform bill. as far as yesterday is concerned, we know that more than 700 people were arrested. the majority of those arrests, people between the ages of 13 and 17 years old. we're talking about kids. school is not a session right now. the big concern here is that the violence could continue

through the summer. lindsey. >> megan, thank you for bringing us the very latest. appreciate it. still a, had baltimore police hold a news conference shortly to update us in the match shooting there overnight. we're going to bring you that update when it gets started. plus, the implications that we could see from the supreme court's ruling over awoke designers right to refuse service to same-sex couples. and, while addressing supporters, and south carolina, how donald trump indicted -- over the seas classified documents and president biden. an d president biden. you know i've been much different than i had because the boys expect at the office. when they tied me for nothing i said now the gloves are off. now the gloves are off.

chunk of the campaign appearance this weekend in south carolina defending his actions in the mar-a-lago classified documents case.

>> what i do, i do legally. and other words whatever documents the president decides to take with him. he has the absolute right to do so. that's the law. it couldn't be more clear. i don't think it could be more clear than that. >> joining me is msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. danny, great to see you never take a day off. the former president there he's been making that claim for sometime. under the presidential records title to documents that he took. but he's not being charged under that act. and we have the audio from appearing to discuss classes -- at bedminster saying as president that he could declassify. are they listening for every word on this during his campaign appearances? >> here is the fact that i cannot approve. but i know it to be true. that trump's defense attorneys are frustrated they are not happy with the way this is going. trump continues to speak in

public, continues to say words all of which will be used against him. and what trump must know, one's attorneys must have advised him is that anything you say as the old saying goes, can be used against you. especially if it's an admission. and something that's damaging to its case. prosecutors are listening, they're taking no, values all of this against him because every time he speaks when he talks about the fact that he was justified under law. whether or not it applies that goes to his intent and his. knowledge in other words did he know we what he was doing already passed this all -- can they handle this, i knew nothing i saw nothing. that's not becoming an option for defendant trump. >> he described the audio this week as just bravado and said he wasn't showing anything that was classified. but here's former white house press secretary stephanie grisham with my colleague alex witt in the last hour. >> i watched him show documents to people at mar-a-lago at the

dining room patio. he has no respect for classified information, never. did very difficult to get a security clearance. i think people miss in the weeds possibly was showing it to people who haven't gone through the extreme vetting that you go through to get a clearance. it's a disservice to the country but it puts people in danger potentially. >> my apologies that was yesterday not last hour. danny, can statements like that be used by the prosecution to show a pattern as far as showing of classified documents? >> yes, i see this as a common pattern with white collar criminal defendants. who are often very intelligent people. but their rationale is as long as i can articulate a defense. trump saying, hey you may have heard a piece of paper, i maybe be talking about that paper but it's imaginary. i'm talking hypothetically. the paper moving around with something else. they think that as long as they can articulate that alternate theory. then there in the clear,

they're wrong. excuse me, instead what happens as the government, i ate a piece of popcorn, wouldn't you know it. >> of white popcorn, danny. >> it's in the back of the throat. what the government will do is play their version for the jury of the jury decide, make the decision for themselves. and trump's alternate theory, if that's what you want to say was an imaginary piece of paper, he wasn't wearing it around. you need to understand you can articulate that theory and see how it works. >> i'm gonna be showing a graphic of danny, if you want to grab a sip of water you can. i want to pivot to the e. jean carroll case, trump is countersuing the writer arguing that she defamed him on tv when she said that he raped her after a jury found him not liable for that specific claim. a judge recently rejected the presidential immunity argument it is attempt to dismiss the defamation claim against. tom what do you make of these developments? >> in a sense i'm not a fan of

this defamation law. in other words of someone says you are criminal, you look up the docket and figure out someone is or is not a criminal. when you sue someone for lying and then you countersue to say that that person is lying when they say that you're lying. and now you get into a vortex words you're lying about being lying about you lying, it becomes really, really difficult to prove. i see trump strategy is essentially saying i wasn't -- there for when you call me a rapist you are defaming me. but here's the problem with that. he's gonna have to go back and prove that if he wants to allege that and prove it at trial with evidence. that means an entirely new trial on that issue, on his counterclaim. meanwhile e. jean carroll in a sense is already determining the issue of whether not u.s. sexually assaulted, not beyond a reasonable doubt but by the evidence. that's why she may be getting damages against trump every single time that trump may call her a liar about sexually

assaulting her. this is going to get into very complicated ground. that's why this defamation law is pretty complicated when you see someone for lying. other kinds of defamation can be easier to prove. this gets foreign. >> danny cevallos, thank you for joining us on that analysis, good to see. you coming up supreme court ruling on affirmative action could have a ripple effect on representation in the medical field. we're following the breaking details from the mass shooting at a baltimore block party that's killed two and injured dozens more. a news conference from police coming in just minutes. stay with us for that update. voltaren. the joy of movement. ♪♪ i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance voltaren. the joy of movement. through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance

impact not only on the ability of black students to get into certain schools. but the ability of them to build wealth because of that student loan that. this is why this matters. when you look at voter turnout during the 2022 midterms black voter turnout was down 10% compared to 2018. and to take it a step further when you look ahead to 2024 and associated press poll shows that 81% -- say they would support biden as the nominee. but among black adults that number is only 55%. i wanted to know given what's been going on well these democrats show up for joe biden again in 2024. i want to play some of those conversations that we had with folks here. >> joe biden, he makes it happen. everything that he's trying to do. he's got it done. >> i did vote for biden, he doesn't necessarily have my vote right this second but we'll see what happens.

i'm so far leaning towards ham. he's not a slam. donkeys >> not just a presidential election that's important to me. i have much more concern about congress than i do about the president and whether joe biden runs or not. >> and it's notable that as the supreme court decisions were coming down vice president kamala harris was here speaking to this constituency about these issues, reaffirming the administration's commitment to equity, to the community and from what i heard from people here this could be an animating action. these can be animating issues in a similar way to the dobbs decision for the community looking ahead to the 2024 election. >> priscilla thompson, thank you for that reporting. many people in the medical field fear the supreme court's decision to strike down one of redaction could have far-reaching consequences for students of color looking to get into medical school. already while the percentage of

black and latino students in medical schools has risen in recent years, as of 2019, 55% of all medical students in the u.s. were white. with black and latino student accounted for just 11%. data from the association of american medical colleges suggest that among active physicians in 2018 just 5% identified as black. joining me now is dr. -- ebony hope an msnbc contributor and -- and critical care medicine at the university of virginia. doctor, thank you for being with us on this important conversation. is there a concern among you and your colleagues that these numbers will get even smaller following the ruling? >> it's very concerning. i must say that diversity and meritocracy aren't mutually exclusive. no evidence of that in the resumes of obama and president trump. we can see that answer right there. in regards to this ruling of affirmative action we will see directed immediate long term consequences as far as health matters, competitively for

black americans. but the study after study shows that race matters. gender -- sexual orientation and the coordinates between the physician and patient, matters. in terms of whether or not you live or die. we look at studies on maternal lines, if you're a black mother and you have a black physician taking care of you and your child. you cut your mortality rate of your child and half. simply because you share the same race. we need to understand why that is so for one. but we also have to deep dive and say why was this a necessary in the first place. as you just stated we make up less than 5% of the physician population, black female physicians, 2%, 2.8% of the population of physicians. we are not feeling the room. this is very unnecessary and in fact it will continue to make the numbers worse. and that is worse for patients overall. >> we're not even talking about

therapy and psychiatry and why it's so important for those patients to be able to have someone to talk to, who can relate to. them doctor, why is it that we're seeing this relatability that ties so closely to medical outcomes? >> because you have an ability to build trust a report with a patient, that's one. thing but i don't have this -- lived life experience to you. you know what whisk fasteners i present, you know what community i come from. you understand all the social determinants of health. you understand the conditions in my community, you grew up in a, you understand it but you grew up in it. you understand to the obstacles that are placed in the way of access, limitations that are placed within our community, and lack of resources. you also understand that the medical determinants of health, we're seeing with a scotus ruling on abortions, and whether or not affirmative action should be looked at as a means to try and right the wrongs of the past. but also to address current obstacles that are in place.

you understand it because you live it. as a black physician you're on both sides of the fence, you're the ones trying to help keep people alive, but at the same time you're trying to keep yourself alive. which means you are really deep diving on these processes a try to find out what's the root of why these diseases occur in the first place. and what treatment options are gonna be best. to keep the next generation to be healthy and happier. >> what is your message to admissions leaders on making sure that we don't have even poor outcomes? what's your message to people who are watching who feel a sense of hopelessness right now? >> i feel hopeless with you as well. as these things i've said throughout 2020, 2021, when we are looking at police brutality and saying that we need to look at reform and how do we address police brutality and the killing of black americans. but honestly, in medicine in general we killed in the way of not treating disease processes

at the root, more than any police officer any could. how do we address that, how do we look at policy, practices, how do we look at how we shape research protocols to be inclusive of the black american experience. we can lead to better outcomes across the board. we need to address access. we need to address the number of physicians that are available for black patients. and then we need to address protocols within the hospital. let's look holistically at a patients lived long experience and address those factors that make this have higher blood pressure, higher risk of diabetes, high-risk cardiovascular disease. we need to treat it at the root so we can have our generational live as long as light americans have at this point. >> dr. ebony hilton, grateful for your time tonight in the conversation. to the supreme court decision allowing a colorado web designer to refuse to make websites for same-sex weddings. it hinged on a hypothetical. the woman, lori smith, hadn't

yet started to make a wedding website. and hadn't been contacted by a same-sex couple. but there may be more to the story. as a staff writer with the new republic reports according to an early court filing the man who rejected smith inquiring about potential web design work, including a website for his wedding to his male partner. but when contacted the man said not only had he not set the inquiry he was married to a woman. it comes as the lgbtq community worries that this ruling could exasperate discrimination amid a heightened political climate. joining me now is david johnson, executive director of the national black justice coalition decades of black algae too -- good to see you, thank you for being with us. i want to read to you know some of gorsuch's opinion. here he said instead of addressing party stipulations what the case actually before. as the dissent spends much of its time adrift on a sea of hypotheticals. that being the wider potential ramifications of this. but he also says that the --

doesn't endorse something like straight-up couples only, is that you're reading of the decision? >> absolutely not, lindsay, i appreciate you asking the question. i want to be clear no one should be refused service because of who they are how they'll of, especially now when our country has a lot of federal nondiscrimination protections to navigate around the bigotry and ignorance including when it comes to hate -- which benefit votes like justice thomas. i want for the court to make sense of this decision. we should all be clear that this contradicts the court's previous disposition on the massachusetts case which affirmed that businesses offering public services should make them available to the cobb lick generally -- as the young kids might say. and more specifically what i'm struggling with in this case is that the justice feel strongly not about protecting the privilege, the fictitious feelings of a web designer over the public need, suggesting that the creative work is participating and, validating

same-sex ways of being. why is that same logic rather not applied with thinking about gun manufacturers? selling a gun to a shooter's participating in murder. so i don't know why we're allowing these examples to allow people to use religion to legislate hate? or otherwise discriminate. >> i want to read some of justice sotomayor's dissent, she knows the logic of the ruling that by the logic that website designer could equally refused to create a wedding website for an interracial combo, for example. how quickly we forget that opposition to interracial marriage was often because, almighty god did not intend for the racist amok. what do you think about that dissent? >> i appreciate that there are critical thinking and democracy minded, like justice so admire, and justice can tanji round -- standing up in defense of democracy and the president of the court has respected as long as i've been an adult. and what i know is that it reasonable people should expect

there to be additional challenges to state nondiscrimination protections. we should also expect to see increased reports of public discrimination on the basis of race and ethnicity, as well as sexual identity and orientation and expression, and whatever other fragile feelings that xenophobic are ignorant people offer up for the courts. >> i want to ask you quick before we let you go on friday louisiana governor john bel edwards, a democrat vetoed a passage, and anti-lgbt legislation. including what critics say is the states version of florida's don't say gay bill. as well as the baton gender-affirming care for trans youth. the legislature is expecting to try and override the veto? but what does it say about the general climate of the country but the importance of state and local elections? >> it's a sad state affair when elected leaders some of whom it didn't graduate from college, some that didn't go to meta school, take a hippocratic oath are affecting the decision that should otherize be made between a patient and the case of children and their parents and of medical providers.

the sad reality is gender-affirming care has been publicly available in the ways that are familiar to most for the last decade. it's only recently that the radical right wing party republican party has decided to make this a solution in search of a problem. what we know is that this is affecting children in the mental health and well-being. we are seeing increased rates of suicide depression, and other forms of mental health trauma not only from children themselves from their caregivers around. the this is a mental health crisis that will be exasperated by many of the things you talked about during the hour. including the decision about affirmative action. anyone who's concerned about democracy should continue to work -- and prepared to go to assure those other democrats and people who care about democracy and values who are in positions of power. >> dave and johns, thank you for your time. up next, we're learning about an overnight drone attack on kyiv. russia's first in nearly two weeks. a member of the ukrainian parliament joins me next.
